Upgrading my Motorola DROID to CyanogenMod 7
I rooted my original Motorola DROID to CyanogenMod last year sometime. It has treated me well, with a lot of cool features and apps. However, recently it has been acting up and just became very frustrating. After seeing CM7 perform on my Nook, I figured it was time to upgrade.
I went and downloaded the latest stable version of CM7 for my DROID. I renamed the file update.zip and placed it on my microSD card in the root directory. I then placed the card back into my phone and started up the ROM Manager app. I selected Install ROM from SD Card and selected update.zip.
It turns out I needed to wipe Data and Cache! So, at this point I needed to NOT boot into the new install. To do this I powered off the phone. Next I powered on the phone while holding down the X button. This booted to a menu giving me many options. I selected the option to wipe data, then selected OK. After this completed, I went ahead and installed the update.zip file again. I then rebooted, and it worked! My new install of CM7 is looking wonderful!
