I have not yet, I have been so busy with it the way it is I have not even looked into those options yet. You?
From what I understand is that its not risk free? I used to mess with the files on my blackberry non stop because I could always get the software back on? I read several places that their are several risks here even when using a full backup with nandroid. Correct me if I am wrong please, I am considering doing this to flash to 2.1, but am a little scared to.
Rooting alone does not disable future updates. But you would probably want to do that anyway ... like the rest of us "rooters". Here's a link to a post that 'splains what file needs renamed, and how to do it.Also, if I root does this disable my future offerings of OTA updating?
It's too simple and riskfree NOT to just do it. And, it's really fun to make your DROID truly "your" DROID.
Also, if I root does this disable my future offerings of OTA updating?
Root Access and flashed the Greek35T 0.0.41 recovery image last night & LOVING it!
where do I find all the info on rooting and getting 2.1 and such?
Tell me! What's so cool about it!!!
I'm always on the look out for the "next best thing", lol.
What steps would I take if I wanted to go back to the official firmware without bricking my phone? Have you read that anywhere?
Finally got it all working, playing with it now.
You dont have it so that makes it the coolest flipping thing in the world right now! jp. I am sure you have already seen the screeniesbut the new Gallery is the shiznit for sure. New default home with 5 screens and card view at the bottom, animated LIVE wallpapers that arent just animated they are aware of and react to their surroundings , new app menu which is very cool in itself but I kinda missed the roll up app menu at first but its all good now.
Still very much beta and there are a few tradeoffs but worth it imo.
Mine isn't but that is only because I haven't seen anything that I really want to do that I need root for. Once I see something that I need root to do then I will root it.

You are describing the 2.1 I've got in MY rooted phone. You said it was "Greek" thing or something??
What tradeoffs have you seen? I haven't seen anything. I've left 2.01 WAAAAAAY back in the past.
