Froyo updaters

---

These are questions for thoses that have used the official update from motorola.

1) Did you have to unroot before updating?
2) Did you have to wipe your phone before the update?
3) Was the update successful?
4) If it was successful, were you able to successfully root again? If so how?
5) If successfully rooted, were you then able to get rid of crapware from ATT?
6) Did you have any problems with the update detecting a non-oem battery? I bought my phone used off ebay so not sure if the battery is oem or not.

Thanks for your help. Im not ready to brick my phone, or not be able to charge my battery if the update doesnt work.

I was able to successfully update my wife's phone this weekend. Her's was not rooted before the update. I wanted to successfully root her's before I update mine. I was able to root her phone with SuperOneClick. After rooting I removed some of the preinstall AT&T stuff.

I'm planning on flashing mine back to stock before updating.

Upgraded, but...

I successfully updated to the motorola froyo official release. Im loving how much faster everything runs. Able to root successfully with superoneclick and used titanium backup to remove att crapware. However here is my issue. I used link2sd previously on eclair. Had about 50+ apps on phone with about 40% give or take free. So I was so excited about the apps to sd in froyo. Well, I tried putting back all my apps, using an app I got from market for apps2sd and link2sd for those unable to move per the app. With link2sd, I lost no phone space but as the apps that could be moved got moved to the sd via the market app, my phone space went BYE BYE. Down to 0% free. WTH is going on? I just did a factory reset and am going to try just link2sd and see what happens. Anyone else running into this problem or am I alone in this?

Ok, so

I used just link2sd and had no problems with memory. For some reason, using any app2sd app or the built in move to sd eats up my memory. Makes no sense to me at all, but I now have all my apps back, linked and at 40% free space. Strange.

This is why you should read....

Link2d... moves apk, davlik cache, and lib file...

App2d just moves the apk... so the cache and the library are still installed on /data/

Edit: you can use titanium backup to take stuff off installed by apps2sd

New Problem

Im having a problem with the phone freezing up now. Only way to remedy is to remove battery. Anyone else?

Yup... though for me its not freezing... the screen shuts off... its still running though...

I could charge it... and somehow once either voice command or vlingo started up... and the white notification led that I didn't know the phone had was flashing

Yea i'm having the same issue. I used to have this same issue when I had the motorola backflip. It would always freeze up th first couple times after I flashed a new ROM. After a coulpe times of restarting and pulling the battery, eventually it just fixed itself...hopefully this is the case with this and its not a permanent problem

I have not seen any freezing issues with either of the 2 Flipsides that I have updated.
