Gingerbread on the D2
- Thread starter Backnblack
- Start date
I didn't have any problems getting the beta to work. Restored it from TB and it worked without a hitch.
Well, for what it's worth something went wrong when I did the sbf. I don't know what went wrong because it said passed and OK but I could not get the phone to boot past the M. I tried everything under the sun including 2 more sbf's several wipes of both cache and data. After 4 hours I gave it the last rights. Verizon is sending me a replacement.
But I really did like Gingerbread, the stock version when I had it. I was going to keep it and not do the rooted version but I had a reset on my D2. That never happens. So I thought root it, put in a clean version and lets see. It failed. I've done sbf many times in the past, this was a successful one as well (all 3 were) but in the end I declared it bricked.
I'm not saying anything is wrong with the directions P3Droid gave, I'm also not saying I did anything wrong. I am saying stuff happens from time to time. That's all.

i too have noticed this, along with the keyboard not lighting when opened..:icon_eek:
Steps to get the new Swype:
1) Make sure you have a root file explorer like Root Explorer.
2) Mount /system as R/W
3) Navigate to /system/app and rename Swype.apk to Swype.apk.bak
4) Navigate to /data/dalvik-cache
5) Rename data@app@com.swype.android.insttaller-1.apk@classes.dex to data@app@com.swype.android.insttaller-1.apk@classes.dex.bak
6) Rename system@app@Swype.apk@classes.dex to system@app@Swype.apk@classes.dex.bak
7) ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE WITH "SWYPE" LISTED IN THE NAME IN /data/dalvik-cache AND /system/app
8) Install Swype from Swype | Text Input for Screens
9) Have fun Swyping
This worked for me. If you have any issues, let me know and I'll see what I can figure out. Do not touch libSwype.core or your Swype installation will fail.
