Root {GUIDE x2} Update to ZVD/Root ZVD

[bnb25]

Im on stock rooted zvd. I try flashing plagues 1.8ghz kernel and my phone wont go past the metropcs screen. Weird. Ima play with it more when i get home

Probably a change in the kernel

Everything good here. Anyone having issues flashing the custom kernels? I get stock at the metropcs screen after flashing the plagues 1.8 ghz one

1.8 ghz is an old kernel, try using one from zvc. Zvb kernels stopped working since zvc

Updating my phone from ZVB TO ZVD. I didnt have big problems with ZVB just minor ones like my phone not running smooth at times and freezing. Will this update fix that?

so far my phone seems to be running smoother, like i said in an earlier post, contract killer: zombies is working fine now, no lag and no crashing seems like the 4g is a bit quicker now also. not sure if roms/themes will work yet, but I'm feeling lucky today, may try them

Tbd...going to have to test everything out...i will shortly and pass it on so that we all know what works and what does not.
Noticed also that screen responsiveness is much better than the ZVB i was on.
@redhook saw in the other thread you pulled the dll..are going to do a system pull also

yep was going to mention that and forgot to, also seems scrolling and pinch to zoom on the stock browser is smoother

Ok just Updated and rooted and so far it work great. Oh and just to make sure if i ever want to revert to out of the box state i would just need to go to CMR and do factory reset from there?

 

[redhook]

Will all the ROMs be compatible? If so i might try it out and see if i like it better but what about down grading? Any info on that yet?

The new baseband will work with any ROM. Just backup in CWM, upgrade, root/install CWM and restore. CWM does not backup the baseband so it will not restore the old one.

Seems to have fixed those issues with mine. Although it may have been a problem with the custom ZVB ROM/kernel I was using.

What were you using and what problems?

The all-in-one script has a second script that removes root and CWM.

The phone would just lock up for no apparent reason. After a few minutes it would become responsive again but it was really annoying, especially when trying to answer the phone. I had this problem on 2-3 different ZVB based ROMs. I never tried out any of the ZVC ROMs though, I was holding out for ICS.

Oh yes i know that but what i meant is that i shouldnt do a factory reset from the settings but from CWR.

Zvc power menu mod doesnt work. Havent tried none of the new kernels.

Hmmm yeah i saw that ZVB roms and kernels aren't responsive or just dont work with ZVC or ZVD

You read that wrong, I never used any ZVC ROM.

That is nothing new and there is a workaround.
