[Odin] Froyo leaked packaged custom ROMs w/root and clockwork **UPDATED**3/25

[F34R]

ok, mistakenly posted this problem in a different thread:

I've updated to 2.4 and whenever I use the marketplace search function all the results are either jpn or chinese... if I use the regular suggested apps, and browse whatever the market shows in top free, top paid, etc., all is fine.

Hey Everybody! I'm new to rooting/flashing. I have one quick question. Is it necessary to root first before flashing one of the whole EB01 packages that come with root?

 

[F34R]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you don't have to. Just follow the steps in the first post.

root before flash?

Nope! You don't have to root before flashing one of the EB01's. DXC has taken care of that step for us (THANKS!!!!!) in the Odin flash files he posted in the OP.

Once you successfully flash one of the EB01 files, your phone will be rooted with SuperUser access, and it will have CwM Red, too.

Thank everyone you can! Especially DXC, Adryn, Landshark, etc.

Awesome! Thanks for the info fellas. The response time here is great!

 

[pdubsfc]

Any ideas on which one is the best EB01 package?

 

[Landshark]

OK. So, I applied the sdcard: update.zip and got into CwM Recovery... however, it says "CwM Voodoo LagFix Recovery v2.5.1.x" at the top. Does that mean I have Voodoo installed? Because I know I have never installed it. All I did was update from EA28 stock to EB01 Full Froyo (with Bloatware).

Also, below the menu choices I see the following dialog:

E:Missing bitmap progress_empty
(Code -1)
E:Missing bitmap progress_fill
(Code -1)
CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v2.5.1.x

Anyone know what's up with that? Thanks!

You are fine vjoaquin, this new red cwm works for both voodoo and nonvoodoo. You get those E: messages because you are on a nonvoodoo kernel. Nothing to worry about.

 

[Landshark]

did it and odin read it fine...now i'm getting a fail message from odin when i pushed it to the phone via pda...what now?

what failed message are you getting? Need to know what it said to help.

Is it necessary to wipe data and do a factory reset before flashing EB01 packages?

hit menu soft key go =>settings=>applications=>manage applications=>all, scroll to market and click on it. you will see some grey boxes. Two of those boxes are marked clear data and clear cache. If the clear cache one is lit up, press it.

Gave you the same answer in the other thread.

It's like Baskin Robbins - 31 flavors. Different people like different things. Stock EB01 is exactly as it was when the devs got their hands on the release. Debloated/Deodexed removed a lot of the Verizon bloatware and odex files. Superclean went further into customizing and also modified the kernel. So it's really a matter of taste, personal preference, and what you want on your phone.

depends on what you are coming from. Going from one EB01 build to another, no wipe needed. Going from anything else to EB01, wipe. What are your current baseband and build numbers?

 

[pdubsfc]

S:i500.04 V.EA28. Thanks for your help!

 

[pdubsfc]

Can I go straight to a Superclean version like 2.4? Also, how do I get my contacts back onto my phone?

 

[Landshark]

S:i500.04 V.EA28. Thanks for your help!

That is your baseband, can you look further down at the bottom of your about phone menu and also give me the build number please? Just want to make sure before you start flashing anything. Thanks.

 

[pdubsfc]

Build Number is SCH-I500.EA28. That's all it says.

You can go straight to 2.4 once I get your build from you. I let backup assistant save my contacts. Some people suggest backing up your contacts to your google account. You should write down what apps you have because you are going to lose them when you flash. Once you are rooted you can download Titanium backup from the market to back up all your apps.

 

[Landshark]

Build Number is SCH-I500.EA28. That's all it says.

Perfect, you are all set. Just wanted to make sure because there have been people with different baseband and build numbers and didn't want you to run into any problems related to that when you root.

When I go to clockwork I get a message stating that a couple of the bitmaps aren't available. Is this normal?
