Root [Rom][5-26-12]Broken Out Spectrum 3.0 w/ Blitzkrieg Kernel

My wife's rooted spectrum took the OTA so I used the "all in one" method to reroot & install CWM. I flashed 2. 0 with no problems.

You're also correct that this is a new indicator on some of the newest phones and hasn't been a feature of previous models.

I also have a question for anyone in the thread: I am using WiFi Tether and with the 2.0 release of this ROM the phone seems to ignore the setting under wifi so that it doesn't try to connect to wifi when opening applications. So, WiFi Tether is giving the "what the hell!" message and then shuts down when I open any other apps. Anyone else notice this issue?

I to have also had that message pop up.
 
when will we see an update on this rom??? i getting kinda bored with stock v6.
and i dont want to go back cus i want to be in the latest version
 
i get an average of like 9 1/2 hours from stock v6 barely using it.... im starting to miss brokenout... but im waiting on verizon to ship me another spectrum before i flash again... restoring to fresh out the box is too much of a hassle

restoring to stock v4 is simple if you got CWM installed. it takes about 5 minutes.
 
and someone like mt or neph please correct me if I'm wrong but I thought if you installed broken out or eclipse after taking the v6 update it would revert you back to v5 since they are both based off v5.

You should just download the zip again from the V4 nandroid thread. Also, stop using the all-in-one to try and restore stock recovery(it's the only way you'd be going back to the non-touch version). The .zip restorer in the V4 nandroid thread has a much better success rate.
 
Hope this helps somebody. I had taken the OTA prior to rooting, then I rooted and flashed the current version of Broken Out. The ROM seems to have taken fine and is working. In my "About Phone" it says I am running Android Version 2.3.6 but the SW version is VS920ZV4, so I think it was at V6 prior to flashing the ROM and is now at V4?
 
I love this ROM but I keep having issues with Wi-Fi it constantly keeps disconnecting on me I wonder if it has to do something with undervolting With Verizon's 4GB data cap I need to use Wi-fi. Has anyone else had these issues? Is there anything that can be done to fix this? I really like how I am able to overclock I like how fluid is the Rom is I just don't like that I keep having issues with Wi-Fi If anybody has any suggestions with any changes could be made to stabilize that would be awesome. Many thanks for all your hard work on this ROM. We all appreciate your efforts!

I'm curious... Are you all getting the ota while on BrokenOut2.0?

We didn't, have 2 Spectrums, both running 2.0, flashed the OTA block zip and nothing has tried to download or install. It was a couple days after the OTAs started when I installed the zip and we hadn't had anything happen so not sure if Broken Out was already blocking it or if it just hadn't come our way yet.

I use wifi every day, have never had it disconnect, my biggest problem is forgetting to turn it off when I'm not using it to save battery!

Have you tried reflashing? Or maybe changing the settings on your router? Is it disconnecting when the screens off? There are apps that keep the wifi on all the time, I use one on my tablet cause I'll get a wifi error after it's been asleep for a while.
 
No issues with wifi for me either and I use it 80% of the time. I hate to say it, but you might want to wipe data in cwm or reflash the rom.
 
It would download, then fail to run/install, might put you in a bit loop too.


I do not use wifi at all on my spectrum. Even with overclocking I can make over 24 hours on a charge; however lately I have been USB tethering daily, as my router is dying on me and my desktop refuses to connect to it anymore.
 
Okay so I can't get it to work.
I downloaded 2.0 on SD card.
Using Rom Toolbox Pro I reboot into recovery (at least I think I do. Phone reboots but nothing else is different)
Then I install 2.0 using ROM manager (Phone reboots, shows a quick picture of a little dude out of a box and then starts up, but nothing has changed.)
I have Root.

What am I doing wrong. I am new to all this and so I need the explanation to be pretty basic.

Thanks!
 
You need to use Rom Manager to reboot into recovery. RTB only reboots the phone with our Clockwork Mod install.

If you did it right, you should see the blue letters and clockwork mod logo. Only if you get to that screen should you flash.

I tried it with From Rom Manager and nothing seemed to happen. What do you mean when you say 'our clockwork mod install? "

Turned the phone off for an hour. Turned it on and rebooted in to recovery using ROM manager. Saw the android dude out of the box and then a quick status bar. Once phone was fully booted nothing seemed different.

Don't know why it does not want to work for me. Do I need more then just the ROM manager app?
