Noob Question: Installing Eclipse on 2.3.5

[circuitloss]

I'm having trouble finding a specific answer to my question so please allow me to be a noob...

I have an X2 running Android 2.3.5 / System Version 1.3.418. I rooted my phone using the automatic method and I've installed system recovery. My question is, can I wipe and flash Eclipse 2.3 directly from recovery on this phone now or do I need to drop back to 2.3.4 like the directions say? Is that out of date?

Also, do I need to get Gapps or is that packaged with Eclipse?

Thanks for the help. I've flashed my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with AOKP, but this is the first time I've dealt with Moto.

Yes you should be able to if you have recovery/bootstrap installed and superuser .if I remember right it has gapps baked in.

Bad Bone, thanks for your reply.

I just did it and everything worked great. Flashing Eclipse is like having a new phone. FYI to other newbs, the instructions in the Eclipse 2.3 thread are wrong if you have 2.3.5. Just use the latest root for that version, install the recovery program once you have root and then boot into recovery to flash the .zip.

It's working perfectly and it's totally awesome. Glad I took the plunge.

The directions were before we had magic md5 so rootkeeper on 2.3.4 before update to 2.3.5 was the only way to root. Now we can root after update.

I have the exact same situation, have root, but a little lost on the eclipes installation procedure..I don't get the boot into recovery part i think..?

download Droid X2 BSR

move MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk and rom's zip(do not unzip rom) to sd card
using phones file manager, find MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk and tap on it, select installer, close file manager, go to app drawer, open 'system recovery' app,
tap the "Install Recovery" ,allow root, connect wall charger, tap the "Recovery Mode" button to reboot the phone into recovery


create a backup, wipe data, wipe cache, install zip from sd card (not install update.zip) select rom's zip (X2-Eclipse-v2.3.zip), select reboot, done....
