Hello everyone! This is my first post, and I am ignorant in the ways of forum etiquette and rooting, so please forgive my faux pas. I have a number of general questions; if anyone could help me I would appreciate it. First, some short background.
My Fascinate is running a rooted stock ED05, froyo 2.2.2. I used the ADB method outlined in DroidXcon?s 4th post in the Stickys. Earlier this month I just happened to see Gingerbread getting pushed to my phone, so I immediately killed 3G and froze Innopath Activecare with Bloat Freezer (didn?t want the constant nagging prompts to update without actually being able to do so). I?m only rooted for the purpose of debloating.
1. Will an ADB root for Gingerbread ever be developed? I know these things take time, I guess my question is?is it possible? I don?t use ODIN because I don?t want any ROM alteration (haven?t taken that plunge yet?maybe some day).
2. To gain experience, I might want to un-root my phone, update to GB, and then wipe. How does my phone update? Does it update in steps? If I were to do a factory reset would it update straight to Gingerbread, or would it update to Froyo and then Gingerbread? I want to know I can get back to a rooted Froyo. I would absolutely love to use CWM recovery for nandroid backup but I have the type of stock recovery that requires packages be signed (forgive me; this is where I?ll probably start to sound stupid). I also read that after CWM is flashed, nandroid backup has issues on the Fascinate, so I figured why bother. I have Titanimu Backup and I take screenshots for a kind of visual backup, so in theory I could put everything back the way it?s supposed to be.
3. Lots more, but this could get obscenely long, so I?ll stop here. Thanks!
