[ROM] Eclipse v2.2 (5/7/12)

[bizzyboo]

I have never done any of this before. I'm completely dumb when it comes to this. The person I bought the phone from sent me to this forum to get help. I got to step 4 but there are a bunch of files and folders with that download and I don't know how to get them all to just install on my phone. My phone is currently using system version 1.3.232.MB870.Verizon.en.US, Android Version 2.3.3, Baseband version n_03.12.28s, Kernel version 2.6.32.9-00003-gb6084d9 and Build number Eclipse 0.8.1. Someone HELP. I just want my phone to be as current as possible and run smoothly.

step 1 you need to update to 2.3.4/1.3.380
most likely you need to flash SBF
read my thread [How to] Root 2.3.5/1.3.418 several links there

Hey i was just wondering something. The other guide to installing eclipse says to

"Step 8: Navigate the same way you would in stock recovery (volume keys move, power selects) Select and perform "Wipe DATA/Factory reset", next select and perform "Wipe CACHE partition", select "Advanced", select and perform "Wipe Dalvik Cache", select "+++++Go Back+++++", select "Install zip from SDCARD", select "choose zip from sdcard", locate the eclipse 2.0.3 zip file (it should be named X2-Eclipse-v2.0.3.zip) highlight, select it, and install it. After it's finished choose "reboot system now"

but this guide says to just wipe data. Is that enough or do i have to wipe all that listed above?

Edit* Nevermind i see thats only when you are putting a new version over top of an old version. Ha new question though. The word "flash" confuses me. When i get into bootstrap and after i do data wipe will there be an option that says install eclipse? or am i missing something?

that is an older version
if you have 2.2 and are flashing 2.2.1, data wipe isn't required
if you have anything other then 2.2
you need to sbf 2.3.4 and start over

edit: wiping data wipes the cache also
you can wipe the dalvic if you want

I have 2.3.5 b 418 rooted installed. Never flashed anything before. I have nothing installed but stock with root. I dont need to start over at 2.3.4 right? I can delete SU backup and just boot into bootstrap and start from there right? And the term flash is confusing me. In bootstrap after data wipe will it give me an option to "flash"

I see thank you. Ignore my post right above yours about being "confused." I get it now, as always you saved my butt.
