Default Can someone kindly post a link
I have never rooted and have no rom updated or any market apps ob my droid running 2.1. However I want to root. I am familiar with update.zip files and process asI did manually update to 2.1.

However I learned I must first downgrade to 2.0.1 before rooting.

Can someone please post a link or directions, I have no idea what some of the lingo means, like" just add the spf" thanks!

To go back to 2.0.1 use this http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-droid/47349-now-you-can-live-without-fear-bricking.html

But before you do that I would read up on rooting

Start here
http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-droid/55843-read-before-you-root.html

Then go here
http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-droid/45764-guide-s-everything-root-related.html

If you have questions just ask

Funny you should say that -- I was posting a reply about what having more options means in the slots and kernels thread and he beat me to it there, too!

It;s not the app that is the problem in connecting directly to the DROID - it's the fact aht no one has written drivers for a flesh_and_bone bus yet....

And our memory matrix is insanely more complex than just simple of RAM....
