[Rom] Liberty3 V2.0 For The Droid X 11/28 - Sunday Bloody Sunday!

Can I install this directly over liberty gingerbread v0.9???
Obviously I know a full data wipe will be necessary, but I am concerned about
the system version not being up to par.
Any info. would be much appreciated.
thanks

This Rom is outstanding. Feels like CM7 but has all the advantages of stock. I've been on CM7 GB for months now and I'm really surprised at how much better the display looks with this rom over CM7. Also the flext9 keyboard works with this ROM.

My sisters dx is running cm7 currently the gb version. But the phone is very unstable and continues to reboot constantly. (she blames me as I modded the phone for her). I really want to flash this liberty rom but I'm very unsure as I have read a couple different places and it's confusing. I'm pretty sure the .608 is the gb update number but what is init #20? and how do I check this? I currently have a atrix 4g and have flashed my phone several different times with different roms and kernels but the dx process is so very new to me. Any help or guidance in the flash from cm7 to liberty would be greatly appreciated. I've already soft bricked her phone twice and am pretty familiar with the sbf process. Thanks.

Go into settings/about phone. If the Baseband version ends in .13p then you are on the most updated kernel needed to flash this rom. Follow the instructions above and you should be good to go.

Freaking outstanding ROM guys.

Oddly my crt off animation quit working after a day or so. I'm sure i messed it up, not sure with what though.

NEED HELP WITH WIFI TETHER! Please read details below Thnx

Despite my low number of posts, I am not new here. Long time reader/lurker

Just thought I would give a shout out to the devs for all of their hard work on this rom. I am very pleased with it to say the least. Minimal bugs and problems I have found so far. Just came off of Liberty2 v0.9 which had many bugs for me and got worse the longer I ran it.

-WIFI TETHER ISSUE-
Only thing that bugs me about this new rom is that I can't seem to get WiFi tethering to work anymore. I tried the WugPacked All-in-one patch, which I had been using on Liberty2 v0.9, but it doesn't seem to work now. Is there something I am missing? When I first set it up on 0.9 there was a thread that explained how to set it up to work but I can't seem to find it again. Something about after installing the WugPacked patch you needed to change some settings in the WiFi Tether app to get it to work properly. Where I seem to run into a roadblock is when you open WiFi Tether app and click to start tethering, Superuser is asking for permission to allow/deny. It always crashes Superuser and makes it force close. Is there some way around this? Can I manually add the Tether app to the Superuser list of allowed root access? I know once you open an app and Superuser pops up asking to allow/deny, it will save that setting from then on and not ask every time. Is there a way to manually add the WiFi Tether app into the list of allowed apps so I can skip this pop up that seems to keep crashing SU? I desperatley need to get Tether back working again. Or if there is something I am missing or and easier method, please feel free to elaborate. Thanks in advance for the help.

Something else I would like to post here for help to anyone hoping to install this rom. Like I said, I was on Liberty2 v0.9 before. It was complete hell trying to get it to install. Took me nearly 4 days to get there because my phone kept bricking. I think I finally figured out where the problem lies.
One major issues I had was that ClockWorkMod Recovery would come up after every boot. Doesn't sound like a major issue right? Well when you need to restart your phone in a hurry, you have to go through CWM every time. It gets better... How about if you are plugged into power with the phone off? Usually the phone goes to a battery charging screen, no? NOPE. CWM comes up 1st and you have to reboot the phone to get to the charging screen. And since the phone will not charge while in CWM, it produces some very aggravating results when you plugged in your dead phone and come back 4hrs later expecting it to be charged.
So if you are booted in android and need to reboot while plugged in and charging... you get: Booted > Reboot > CWM > Reboot > Charging screen > Reboot > CWM > Reboot > Booted.
Takes like 4mins to reboot from in the OS to get back in the OS. Not fun.
So what makes CWM come up after every boot? I think it has something to do with a conflict between the CWM Recovery and the stock Recovery menus. When CWM is starting on every boot, the stock recovery refused to work. You could get it to boot the stock recovery, but it shows the little triangle error icon.
I think it has something to do with the .602 sbf file. Everytime I sbf to the .602, I get the CWM error and other things not working properly. I had lots of issues on Liberty2, too many to list. So if you plan on installing Liberty3, I suggest these steps for best results.

BACKUP EVERYTHING! If recommend My Backup Root by Reware (android market) and Titanium Backup
If you have CWM installed, boot into CWM and wipe data, cache and dalvik (if no CWM installed, use the stock recovery to do these steps)
SBF to 2.3.340
Let phone boot and activate the phone. No need to set up google accounts or anything else.
From the home screen click menu button/Settings/About Phone/System Updates and let the phone find the recent .605 software.
Download and install the .605 and activate your phone like you normally would (Google account too)
Go to the Android Market and download the Droid2 Bootstrap by Koush.
Before you open it, you need to root your phone using the Droid3 one click root process. (Please google it as I don't have a link)
Follow the instructions for the root exactly so you don't miss anything.
Now you are rooted and need to install the Droid2 Bootstrap.
Open it up and click "Allow" on the Superuser pop up. Now you see 2 buttons. Click the "Bootstrap" button.
Should pop up a notification saying "Success".
(Make sure you have the Liberty3 v2.0 on your sdcard at this time)
Now you can click the "Recovery" button to reboot the phone into ClockWorkMod Recovery.
Now in CWM you need to wipe data, cache and dalvik before installing Liberty3.
Install Liberty3 and wipe data, cache and dalvik again after it finishes before you leave CWM.
Liberty3 v2.0 should boot fine now and not give you any problems I hope


I am not sure why wiping the data, cache, and dalvik before and after the Liberty3 install helps (as it shouldn't matter), but it seemed to clear up installation issues I was having. Like Boot Looping and other odd things.
I highly recommend not using the .602 sbf file as it seems to be missing some files that the .340 sbf has. And yes I downloaded, redownloaded, downloaded the .602 from many places and get the same errors every time. The install method I mentioned above took me like 1hr if you already have all the files on your computer.
Hope this helps anyone experiencing the same problems I was having.

that gives a new meaning to tl;dr

What version of wifi tether are you using? Do you have the routing fix enabled?

I was having some trouble with this on stock rooted .608 and ended up just doing the NVram hack. It went smoothly and took 5 minutes...i haven't sbf'd since then so i suspect that's why i'm not having an issue now.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/3136-wir...gerbread-tether-fix-instructions-updated-102/

followed them to the letter.

-WIFI TETHER ISSUE UPDATE-

Ok, so i got wifi tethering up and running. Thanks tdrussell for the info but I did not need to NVhack my phone. I believe that was the purpose of the WugPacked All-in-one zip file. It does the NVhack and installs wifi_tether_v3_1-pre99.apk in one step.
Since I was having trouble getting the included wifi_tether_v3_1-pre99.apk to work with the Superuser on Liberty3, I decided to try one of the newer versions of it.
I am currently using Wifi Tether v3.1-beta6, and to my surprise it is working. Yay!

Anyhow, let me clear this up for anyone else that might need to get tether running on their new Liberty3 install.

FOLLOW EVERY STEP CAREFULLY! kthanksbai
-Make sure you have all Wifi Tether apps uninstalled (you cant uninstall the stock app so leave it alone)
-Download the http://goo.gl/hpPoJ and place it on the root of your sdcard.
-Reboot your phone into ClockWorkMod Recovery
-Scroll down to "install zip from sdcard"
-click it and scroll down till you find WugPacked_GB_Tether_Patch_1.1.zip
-click it and let it install
-reboot into android
-uninstall the Wifi Tether v3.1-pre99 that the zip file just installed.
-go here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list and download v3.1-beta6
-install the app and open it (but do not click the signal icon to start tethering yet)
-click your menu button and go into settings
-In the settings menu, click on Select Device-Profile. Scroll down and check DroidX
-Now back in the settings menu, scroll down and look for "Routing Fix". Check that box.
-Exit out of the app and go back to your home screen
-Click your menu button and go into settings (android)
-Navigate to: Wireless & networks > Tethering & mobile hotspot > Mobile Wi-Fi hotspot settings > Configure Wi-Fi hotspot (you will have to enable hotspot 1st to be able to change the settings)
-Once in the configure screen, set the Security to none (no wpa or psk or wep)
-Exit back to home screen
-Open the Wifi Tether app again
-Click the signal icon to start tethering. Superuser should pop up and ask to Allow/Deny. Wait for about 2 seconds and then click Allow (if you do it too fast, superuser has a tendency to Force Close)
-Now, end all tethering and reboot your phone cause the next set is VERY IMPORTANT!
-After reboot, use Titanium Backup to freeze these four programs.
-Once you are in Titanium, click search and type in "data" and click "apply"
-You shoud see: Data Collection 1.0, Data Collector Service 1.0, DataCollectorProvider 1.0, Setup data encryption 2.3.3
-Freeze all 4 of those (do not uninstall). These are new programs that Verizon has added to the new GingerBread to track data on your handset. It could tell them the difference between your phone data and tethtering data. It is unconfirmed, but better safe than sorry
ENJOY! You should be tethering now

You can set connection security within the app but do not use "Access Control". I have been told that it is still unstable and might cause connection issues.
Hope I was able to help anyone out. Good day *tips hat* /:-{

Sorry to post again, but can I make a request? Would it be possible to get the Swype keyboard in the same colors as the android keyboard? It is really hard on the eyes trying to type on a white keyboard at night. LoL
Thanks in advance

Rom bricked my dad's phone. I'm currently trying to fix it but I need help pleaseeeeeee.
After wiping cache and factory resetting I used dx bootstrap. flashed the rom and when it tries to load up I get a dim Liberty in the backround for about half a second then it goes away. It'll keep doing that as long as the phone is on. Please help.

Which OS was on it before you flashed it? It needs to be on Gingerbread (.602 or .605). Probably the easiest way to fix it would be to SBF, root, and then reload the ROM.

I am also experiencing issues with flashing this rom. I've had every prior liberty build work without fail on the same device. I'm wondering if i'm missing a step somewhere in the flashing process. My most recent attempt at flashing Liberty3 had me booting into bootloader mode with errors reporting?! No power-up key binding either, just power on and boom - bootloader.

Is a dalvik wipe needed? and do i need to mount system before installing liberty3.zip, or do i just install after wiping?

Also, any chance anyone can direct me to a download for a gingerbread SBF file? would make this a less tedious process as ive had to SBF back to Froyo then wait for the ota about 3 times now with each botched rom install - gets very time consuming



Thanks in advance

Edit- checked the post above and found a .602 SBF (thx ylexot)

Just installed this got an issue. Whenever I open AOSP gallery it shows no pictures, blur gallery just crashes. Pictures aren't "saved" either.


Any idea?

I've been rooting and ROM's my Androids phones, and I think this is the 1st time ever that I've bricked my phone... All I did was perform a backup, wipe data and cache. Tried to install the new Liberty and it kept erroring out, I think becaue the .zip was bad. I went to do a restore of my working backup and now my phone is bricked. How can I restore my phone, not being able to get into bootstrap to perform a manual restore? I'm stuck.

Try going into settings-> applications-> manage applications, select the gallery, and clear data and cache.

That should force the gallery to rebuild the thumbnails that may have gotten corrupted.

So i wiped everything (dalvik/data/cache) and still no luck. Maybe a bad .zip?

The install seems too fast and when i boot up after installing it sends me to bootloader and im seeing the following:

-----------------------
Bootloader
30.04
Err:A5,69,35,00,23



Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
-----------------------

At least it's a great opportunity to try this .602 SBF

Must....have....liberty....

The .SBF trick works flawless. I'm on stock Gingberbread, Rooted! It's super simple to do and restore your phone. Am I the only one finding bad Liberty 3.0 ROM's? Everyone that I've downloaded and attempted to Flash, get's a "Bad Zip" error in clockwork..... I'm about to give up on this Liberty 3.0 ROM.
