How to: Install Rooted Foyo 2.2 via ROM Manager

[TheBeavertownKid]

Thanks Koush for your excellent work in creating such a program!!

(THIS IS MY WRITE UP. CREDIT IS GIVEN TO THOSE WHERE NEEDED.)

Step 1. Make sure you have a fully stock 2.1 Droid X (This means NO THEMES, NO BLOATWARE REMOVED,Etc.). If your phone is running completely stock 2.1 but IS ROOTED already you may skip to Step 3.

Step 2. Download Easy Root to Root your X or go HERE (Thanks B16 for the post and Rainabba for the write up) to Root your X and reboot your phone to obtain SU Permissions.

Step 3. Download Bootstrap by Koush in the Market. Once installed press the top option only as you dont need to reboot into recovery right now.

Step 4. Download the latest ClockworkMod Recovery via Market search for "ROM Manager" or Click HERE FROM YOUR PHONE iF using Tapatalk or Browser.

Step 5. Open Rom Manager (Find in App Drawer) and press "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" at the top (first option) and select "Droid X" and wait for it to download THEN allow su permission.

Step 6. Select "Download rom" then "Stock Images" then "Verizon Droid X 2.2"

Step 7. Allow to download (Pull down status bar to view the status and progress BUT TO NOT CLICK CLEAR OR YOU WILL HAVE TO RESTART THE DOWNLOAD). Once finished BE SURE TO HAVE GREEN CHECKS NEXT TO Backup AND Wipe Data (SOME USERS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED WITHOUT WIPING OR BACKING UP BUT IT IS RECOMMENDED FOR A NEW CLEAN INSTALL) and click OK.

Step 8. Wait for phone to reboot into recovery and backup and install. BE SURE TO HAVE ENOUGH BATTERY OR HAVE PHONE PLUGGED IN TO POWER OR PHONE WILL SHUT OFF DURING INSTALL AND YOU WILL BRICK AND HAVE TO GO HERE TO UNBRICK YOUR DROID X (Thanks xLiveWire7x for the write up) AND RESTART THE PROCESS.

Step 9. After you are running 2.2 Froyo you should install Bootstrap again and just press the first option to avoid having to do a battery pull every time you reboot and get stuck at the Motorola splash screen. (Thanks falerus for the heads up)

Step 10. Setup phone to preferences and enjoy!

Dont you need root before you do this from rom manager? Im double checking. I cant root my phone at work due to adb. (no admin rights) is there another way to root?

I'm wondering if the audio problem is fixed in this Froyo release.

Would you happen to have a link. I looked in the market to non avail?
