DO NOT INSTALL THE BOOTSTRAPPER ONCE YOU HAVE INSTALLED CYANOGENMOD; DOING SO WILL MAKE YOU HANG AT THE M LOGO AND YOU WILL NEED SO SBF. THESE CYANOGENMOD BUILDS HAVE CLOCKWORKMOD BUILT IN SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS HOLD THE POWER BUTTON, SELECT REBOOT AND CHOOSE RECOVERY AND PRESS OK
Builds from now on after this point will have our boot menu that I ported over from the CyanogenDefy team and EncounterICS builds for the Droid X. From now on, instead of selecting Reboot -> Recovery, when the phone is at the red M logo when it's booting up, the LED will flash blue for a second. If you happen to press the volume rocker down when it's blue, it will take you to a boot menu which from there you can select Recovery -> Clockwork recovery
NOTE: The new ROMs with the boot menu will have a newer version of clockwork recovery which may cause incompatibility issues. The reason behind this is that our version of clockworkmod from the D2 Bootstrap makes backups that are in the .img format. So your backup of system will be called system.img. The newer clockworkmod versions make ext3.tar backups (tar is kinda like .zip files). The implementation of ext3.tar files make for much faster backups and restorations. However, many people have had issues restoring .img files from the newer clockworkmod versions.
Luckily for you guys, I've made a tiny, tiny zip that you can flash that will allow you to boot into the older clockwork recovery to restore your backups from pre-(whenever this new zip will be posted dates)
All you will have to do is enter the bootmenu, choose recovery, then clockwork. From there, you can install this tiny zip that will make it so that, after you install the zip, when you reboot, it will boot into the older clockwork recovery so you can restore a previous backup that is in the format of system.img if CM7 isn't your thing
The md5sum is 97ca408e50cfa53b38b95aa7c1035f20, is ready for download here: 6-6.zip
6-6.zip adds:
Hopefully some GSM stability
A camera wrapper that allows us to use the on-screen zoom controls in the camera app
Some love for APNs
Since the last zip way back in November, I added:
A working voice search button (you need to download the official Google app from the market)
The issue where settings did not stick when you modified them and required a reboot to take effect has been rectified
Torch works (Yay!)
Camera and Video Camera work
1% Battery
Charging while off
From now on, the Droid Pro CyanogenMod 7 builds that I will post will forever need to be installed on top of the Official Gingerbread build's kernel. I'm doing this so we all have the newest radio file and kernel to standardize all of our systems so bugs do not only occur if you have an outdated setup file or whatnot.
The Official Motorola Droid Pro Gingerbread SBF can be download from here https://sites.google.com/site/motosbf/droid-pro-sbf-files where you can download the one called VRZ_XT610_4.6.8_user_signed_1FF.sbf.zip
From there, you can use the Droid 3 Root method to acquire root, then download the OTA RootKeeper app from the market, where you can keep root and download the newer Gingerbread update from Blur_Version.4.6.8.XT610.Verizon.en.US.zip (thanks pavlak21!) You can put that update on your sdcard and update through the STOCK RECOVERY, NOT CLOCKWORK
After updating to one of the Official Gingerbread builds, in order to install the Cyanogenmod ROM for the first time, you must:
Download the latest build and put it on your SD card
Root using the one click root for the Motorola GB builds
Install the Droid 2 Bootstrap
Reboot into recovery
Go to mounts and storage, and wipe system, data, and cache
Go back and choose install zip from SD card
Install zip
Reboot and enjoy
CDMA users, I couldn't test out whether 3G data worked, but voice should work
GSM users, I cannot test out whether GSM service works in the US, but our beta testers will help us find out
If you are simply updating your phone with a newer build, you can just put the .zip file on your sdcard, reboot into recovery, choose install zip from sdcard, and navigate to the newest build, and install. After finished, you should wipe your cache, and reboot
