There’s a few ways…
1. Get the phone to 4.7.3 stock ROM, then install recovery (via root), then install VanillaROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966012)

2. Or use a different build… http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-pro-roms/175390-6-6-2012-cm7-droid-pro-based-gb.html

Personally when I had my Droid Pro I used #2 and followed the instructions VERY carefully.

honestly, i love this phone even though it is buggy as hell and resets itself all the time. i have mine rooted with z4root and rooting is a must for this thing!

i use titanium backup and bloatware freezer to freeze all the crappy preinstalled spyware and data hogging software. i read that if you want to update and keep root, you need a program like ota rootkeeper.
overall i am happy with the form function of this phone since i need a physical keyboard.

how did you get cm7 on the droid pro? all i have ever read says motos bootloader is locked on this phone so putting another os on it is impossible. thanks!

I asked my dad for an android with a physical qwerty. He got me this piece of crap. Maybe it’s good for you if you’re used to a blackberry but this just didn’t fit the bill for me. There were so many times that it froze and I had to take out the battery and restart. I highly reccomend you to NEVER get this piece of bs. My contract’s not up till december but i’m already looking at new phones

Just installed the upgrade today, although I wasn’t having any of the aforementioned problems. I was a bb user & this switch was dead on for me. I really like the phone, if they came out with a new version I would happily buy it especially if there was a front view camera. I really use this phone alot can’t complain.

The only “bug” I’ve found was while playing music on the Google Music (well now Google Play Music) if you expand the song information by tapping the screen it will freeze the phone and force you to do a battery pull, other than that it is very stable. I do not notice the issues with the backlight for the keyboard as was very evident on the Moto Gingerbread releases so I highly recommend it! Pretty good battery life (14-16 of light-medium usage) 7-8 of heavy and about 1.5 hours of having the screen on during that time.

This is a great phone, same hardware as my droid2, but weirdly runs a whole lot better, less buggy. Works great for email, and texts. I run my own business, I dont need to waste time typing on a screen or slide out keyboard. Love the qwerty keyboard, and really hope someone comes out with another.

I’ve owned a Droid Pro for over a year and love it. It’s a good cross between the Android and Blackberry. Frankly, the other Android phones with bigger screens are better for people who use the phone to watch videos, playing games, and social networking. I don’t. Mine’s all business and it’s perfect for that. No nonsense stuff.

My wife has one. It’s a great phone for her because she can’t use a touch screen to save her life.

always liked this phone never got the chance to get it but I before I did switched to android I was all blackberry and this phone almost seemed like the phone of my dreams it felt sorta like a blackberry with the qwerty keyboard and business look with Android… Anybody with the phone care to give a quick opinion on it
