I'm running ViperDNA 2.0.2, and am about to install the OTA update 2.0.3.from a download. Would someone please give me a checklist of "backups and wipes" to perfectly follow. Many thanks in advance.
Just install the update from within the ROM, it does everything for you.

Your destination does not need to include the filename only the directory path. /sdcard or /data/media should be sufficient

C:\android-adb>adb push kitkat.zip /sdcard
failed to copy 'kitkat.zip' to '/sdcard': No such file or directory
Hello All,
I just purchased a Droid DNA and after looking through all the forums, i do not see a new way of unlocking the bootloader, .etc with f/w version 2.07.605.1. Can anyone assist me with this?
thank you in advance
I apologize as Im sure this is a re-post, but I have scoured this forum, and the internet for over an hour and have not been able to find a clear method on rooting my DNA running the current 3.06 firmware. I rooted my thunderbolt back in the day, but I feel like Im doing it for the first time again. It seems a little more complex than it was with the thunderbolt, and I want to do it right the first time. I really want to download KitKat with Sense 5.5. Any help on just getting this bad boy unlocked will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Did you check rumrunner out? It will unlock and s-off 3.06 firmware. Then just flash a custom recovery and su

I have not. I will track that down and give it a shot. Thanks for the response!
I need a video. Its hard for me to learn so much by reading, esp when you could brick your phone.
good write up though!
Followed instructions and it says
sending 'recovery' (6944 KB)... OKAY [ 1.162s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.760s]
finished. total time: 1.924s
Then i go back to the recovery and go to it, does the HTC recovery..
Yes it says that.
Let me ask some questions, you say copy the complete ROM.zip over to the phone. Where at on the phone? Does it have to be named ROM.zip?
Does the CWM need to be copied over too? Using your guide to download the viper files and the second boot.img is confusing since the .zip with the viper has a boot.img with it, should we use that, ignore it, or what?
I thank you for taking the time to write a guide but with so many variables that are being used and referenced, there needs to be more specific instructions.
ALL i want to do is use mt titanium backup to get my old apps and app data on my DNA. Is it really this many steps just to gain root access to the DNA? With the Razr maxx it was just connecting it to the computer in debugging mode, and running a batch file.
Ok where do you put the downloaded files onto the phone. When you plug the phone in you get many different windows pop up that is gives you access to different parts in the phone.
EDIT: of the three opitions that pop up when you plug the phone in only one is large enough for the viper rom so it has the viper folder AS WELL as the .zip onto it now.
My paths are "C:\android" for all my android files like the adb and the boot.img and recovery.img. I am able to write the two .img files to the phone with the console telling me it wrote ok.
I go to the recovery on the phone and it says entering recovery on the top of the phone screen but then it boots straight into android.
I will redownload all of the files, if anyone else has any ideas id love to hear.
EDIT 2: Got it to work, i think the CWM files were the problem. I just used the TWRP files and it is flashing now! Also found this video which was a huge help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAwfgi0suJQ
I freaked out and restarted my phone but it only stays stuck in the HTC boot logo and I dont know what to do. I tried using the ADB sideload option on CMW but for some reason I cant, it always fails. I don't know if I bricked it or something.
adb push rom.zip /data/media/
