rooted help

I think I'll just go cry in a corner as I'm so lost...I thought I was rooted once I installed 2.1 since I had to root to get to this point. Btw Berry2Droid, everything you said lost me.
Just asking the basics i guess, what 2.1 do you have? HC or Greek35? I thought i was rooted as soon as i went to 2.1 but apparently thats not always the case with everyones 2.1 version.

Last weekend, I installed each version (Greek's and humancyborg's) of 2.1. In both cases I lost root. No biggie. Just simply adb push the su file back to /data/local ... then follow the rest of the rooting directions found in about a bazillion places on the internet. :D

If you're still lost after reading the above . . . maybe rooting isn't for you. Just sayin'...

I'm lost after that so are you saying that I cannot learn how to do it if I don't understand what you've written? Is it that difficult?

No, it is not difficult. The truth is, if I can do it, anyone can. But it seems to me that a lot of people don't want to take the time and read through the instructions and/or tutorials that are already available ... on this forum, and almost every other DROID forum.

I would like to add that these forums create just about as many problems as they solve. A lot of people that want to root their DROID don't even know what it means, or what they can do once they are rooted. And then they get themselves in a jam, and want us to wave a magic wand to make their bricked phone come back to life.

If you can't find your answers in THIS FORUM, I don't know where you will.
