We now have everything we need to take you from your ROM to Froyo (Andriod 2.2)

1) Start the program Rsdlite
2) click on the three (...) dots and open the sbf file we saved to desktop (or wherever you saved it go and find it, then open it)

3) Turn off your Droid, slide open the keyboard. Press the d-pad right (if holding portrait) or up (if you are holding it landscape). Continue to hold the dpad while pressing the power button. This will restart your phone in the bootloader.

4) in rsdlite you should see the Start button, select it. Let the program run through and your phone will restart.

5) unplug your phone we are done with the computer.

6) Turn your phone back off

7) Slide open keyboard and hold down the x button, and press the power button.

8) You are now in SP Recovery, Go to restore/backup

9) Select restore

10) When finished hit the power button

11) Select Reboot Phone


You will now have froyo

Hi, So I had a couple questions.

This is the first time i have ever rooted a phone And i was just wondering .. I've got froyo2.2

I used sp recovery and did the extra step with the zip to get root. from that point I couldnt overclock because mileston/droid OC said I needed root even though I had the SU icon.

Ok not sure how to use The set cpu, But anyways . So i couldnt overclock . I downloaded the kernel which was 250 - 1200 since everyone was saying that the 1250 was in actuality 1100. I did that and added flash and I hoped ok now I can over clock.

Ran quadrant and it told me max freq was 1200 but current was 600. Go into SetCPU and it shows its set at 600 mhz and theres still room to go up to 1200 But I cant access it because I dont have root and It's saying read only mode.

Im so confused And I hope Someone can help me. Getting the OC'd kernel means ? that you have a max of 1200 but cant set it to run at that because of no root ?

My quadrant score was a little above 1000 but I've seen members hitting above 1600.

Advice please.

I got it to work.

Boot into recovery and wipe data and cache 3 times.

[ergon]

Thanks P3. I'll jump on this when I get in from work.....

[jtelander]

Any thoughts on the need to wipe data and cache? If so, at what point in the process is it done and how does one do it?

Thanks

Will I lose my contacts if I wipe data?

This guide is for non rooted users who dont want to root. If you want to root we need to do a few other steps to get you rolling. We will have to take you back to 2.0.1 using the RSD light program then load a rooted 2.1 update.zip then we can just use one of the other froyo files for rooted users

hmmm... think i'll pansie out and wait until the official... unless it's not out by the end of the month. Not liking how unstable this is looking ftm.

[RANDYRKELLY]

What you talking about dude. Its really stable. it just sluggish at first but after a couple reboots and stats it runs great.

[sengkangboy]

mine is already on 2.1 non root. so i can follow these steps exactly and do the upgrade? Does it matter if it is from verizon or elsewhere? Mine is a Milestone actually ( Asia/Europe version of the droid )

So why are some folks in this thread having problems? Having to pull batteries and such...

I'm also going to wait until you tell me that all of the steps are included and none are left out....
