CM4DX-GB flash question

[mouthrulez]

before i do anything where do i get the link for the all in one fix ?

 

[clueless77]

well if you follow those instructions that will get you on gb and then i can get you rooted but as for an all in one i dont know a link never having to use it you might have to google it

I would recommend doing a full SBF to .602 instead of the all in one update, I've found that things just run more smoothly when you wipe everything and start fresh. I know it's inconvenient but you can backup your apps with Titanium and it makes getting things set up again much easier. The .605 update is really unnecessary unless you have keyboard issues on .602. Once you're on .602, use the D3 one click root to re root, and you can flash the RevNumbers nightlies over that. You won't be able to restore a backup to Froyo though because you will be using a different kernel, but you'll be able to SBF back to the Froyo kernel if you want to restore an older backup from a 2nd init ROM

I've learned everything I know from reading and posting here. The nice thing about the forum is if you're wrong about something there are other people to correct it. I still make mistakes sometimes, and besides, the worst thing that could happen is someone has to SBF

Honestly haven't a clue I never used swype but I'm sure it does.

did you flash over the .602 kernel? I know a lot of people had keyboard FC issues on it, if so you may want to take the .605 OTA. You can flash .602 ROMs over .605

I flashed it over the .605(the AIO from thb). should i try to flash it over .602?

 

[clueless77]

I was also gonna suggest a cache wipe in CWM. Andcrun fix permissions

Leftspin, I was wondering is there a "catch the boot" method on the X like on the D1, maybe that's why my sbf to froyo won't take

no, don't do an SBF to .602 just for that, see what happens when you clear the keyboard cache (settings>applications>manage applications>swype>clear data), also try to clear the cache in CWM like Clueless said, and fix permissions can't hurt (it's found in ROM Manager)

I don't believe so, I don't see how that would work because it's done with the hard keyboard on the D1 which the X doesn't have. Silly question, but you did do the factory reset/clear cache/wipe dalvik after the SBF, right?

 

[clueless77]

I did not do that at all, I assume you mean from stock recovery, and reason being I have never had an issue with 602 sbf, I do however do it before sbf
