[Q] GingerAle to liberty

[p4ranoid4ndroid]

Is there anyway to reboot recovery on the GingerAle ROM? Just installed it on a friends DX and she isnt a fan so I wanted to revert her back to liberty. Any thoughts on how I can do this would help Bootstrapper isnt letting me reboot to recovery and when i try to manually reboot recovery pushing the search button does nothing once im on the android with ! screen. any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Are you trying DX or D2 Bootstrapper? Most Ginger builds require D2.

Using the DX bootstrap. I wanted to ask for any other thoughts before trying the D2 one. Will give it a shot today and report back

So d2 bootstrap allowed me to get back into recovery but after flashing liberty 1.5 it hangs on the liberty bootscreen. Anyone able to give me any help on this problem? Doing this for a friend and realizing why I will NEVER buy a locked down phone.

You can't go from a GB rom to a Froyo rom, you'll need to SBF back to 2.3.340, then go to LB 1.5. However, if you didn't, you can try wiping data/cache again, but I'm fairly certain a SBF is required to go back from GB.

I just did this. Cause I was trying to go back to Liberty to recover some of my data via Titanium. Was coming from gingerale too

SBF Back to absolute stock.
Itll probably bootloop. Pull battery and hold home and turn on. Then do a data reset and cache wipe.
After that reboot into stock droid x rom. Then download bootstrap
Then you can bootstrap back to liberty.
If you have questions hit me up. My phone literally just finished doing this. I thought i was screwed cause it was boot looping. But i'm good now.

The problem is that you flashed a froyo rom after coming from a gb rom and you probably didn't sbf. If you want to go gb to froyo, you MUST sbf back to stock froyo first. If you're not sure how to do this, there are tons of "how to" threads on here.

Thanks a lot guys. I figures an sbf would be required. I flashed gingerale 2.0 and she seems happy with it. Gonna investigate this sbf more. Coming from HTC and Samsung phones Motorola is a whole new world lol.

The SBF process is easy dude. At first glance it seems really complicated but there's really nothing to it. There's even youtube videos if you feel a little uneasy.
