Hmm, I'm uploading a firmware for RSD Lite, and the exploit in the RAMDLD is fixed in Backflip (not Motus). Either he has some "magic info" from Motorola or is just speaking crapload.

He just posted an interesting follow up post....

Or there could be another exploit. That would be nice.

I hope so, but its kind of weird that he's not posting any info and the only screens we've seen are ones you don't need to root the backflip to see.

(It is not likely that Cliq recovery will work on Backflip, so make custom one for Backflip.)

EDIT: Will not work.

If anyone needs a copy of the recovery for Backflips, I have it.

**eortizr** · 04-03-2010, 10:20 PM

so, it is or not possible to root the backflip?

As of right now, its not possible. Hopefully things get figured out soon so we are able to.

...I can almost smell a rooted update.zip

****HELP**** I was using "Droid Explorer" to install 3rd party apps and bypass the at&t restictions and made my backflip crash, it just resets over and over without completely booting up. Anyone got a recovery file or advice to get it back to normal even if I loose everything on it I would be happy to get it reset to factory but I can not even get in to the regular menu.

Will a hard reset work?

Use the SBF Firmware if anything else fails.

**thewaffle** · 05-20-2010, 02:42 PM

So from what I am seeing the newer firmwares are uploaded at the opensource page so in theory could we update our backflips based off those firmwares there?

And wouldn't these firmwares that have been uploaded on 4-21 be able to help the backflip root effort? Or do we have to wait for the newer firmware that has been released OTA to be avail for downloading
