Root [ROM] ESE81 Completely Stock With Proper Root, SU, & Baseband

[Fabolous]

Pete works fast! Posting this on his behalf here. If you like it, please donate

I just threw this together while in class because I know everyone is getting all excited over it for some reason lol.
It has proper root access and su will prompt you like it is supposed to.
This is in the form of an update.zip, it will also update your baseband.
I cant upload to my ftp while Im at school
Edit: Please post on other forums, website, etc.

ESE81update.zip

Please
I am a college student trying to make ends meet.
Help me live out my dreams to do this in the future.

If you've already flashed the new 3P baseband, you can go ahead an delete the bp.img, mbm.bin, and rdl.bin files from the update.zip. It'll result in an "installation failure" because the script won't be able to find them, but it works regardless, and it prevents anything from going wrong in a baseband update.

I may try it, I may not. But I am also a poor college student and can't donate.

 

[DroidSuks]

Wow.. that was quick.

So basically it could potentialy be the OTA with the baseband. This isn't a BB revision...... yet.

So if we've done the baseband update.zip to 3P and we're already running a 2.1 ROM there's really no real need to do this... unless we just want to see what it is.... right?.



Thanks FAB!.

 

[Timaphillips]

Oh so tempting...

 

[shadowdude777]

I still want to know what the differences are between ESE53 and ESE81. Not that it matters to me, I'm on CyanogenMod which builds straight from AOSP, but I'm still curious as to what the big deal is.

 

[markc2]

I was just about to ask this same question The 3P update went smooth for me. Saying the ESE81 is optimized for the Droid mostly means updating the radio to 3P correct? I don't want to let go of the FAB Nextbeast ROM I'm running....thanks.

what state does my phone need to be in to run this? update? 2.0.1 stock? 2.0.1 rooted? Can i install it from an ESE53 ROM?

 

[Fabolous]

Pete said that he couldn't see any major differences between ESE81 and 53. I think if you're happy with your custom ROM (ESE53 or AOSP based), there isn't too much motivation to update to this ROM.

Still, I'm pretty bored so I might flash this

 

[The_Chief]

I'm patient. I am sure that Pete'll use ESE81 as the base for his BB 1.0 when it comes out. Then I'll donate to his cause... AGAIN

 

[Groid]

I rooted through dmupdater and installed the Droidmod 2.01 based rom. Can I install this 2.1 update.zip with the baseband update? Will it replace my Droidmod rom with the stock 2.1 version, additionally including root? Does this mean ESE81 has already been rooted? Please suggest the best way to apply this update in my circumstance.

This should work for you, though I suggest doing a factory reset.

Hopefully news like this will stop those still on the fence from trying (and from what I am reading failing) to unroot there phones preparing for the OTA. We have too many extras right now in our current ROMS for me to consider spending time with this ESE81 release but it is cool to see how fast Pete threw it together

 

[Fabolous]

Yeah, he literally Gtalk'ed me right as I woke up this morning with this file. The man's a beast!!

It would take a collaborative effort of Google, Motorola and Verizon about a year to accomplish the same thing (and they still would not get it right).

and it would take 4 months to roll it out! lol

Yeah, I won't spend time with it either but I downloaded it just so I have it. Stock ESE53 wasn't any fun...I'm not sure why this would be any different. And to think...people have been waiting a LONG time for this...just doesn't make any sense to me. I hope these people realize that this update...while it may be needed for flash to run...doesn't instantly turn your phone into anything more than it was originally.

Seriously...how many 2.1 Update threads have there been?

 

[spartan141]

can we use other kernals with this and over clock, just curious

+1

 

[slick_old]

I unrooted and got the OTA update. I've run plain vanilla ESE53 and now I'm running plain vanilla ESE81 and I can't tell much of a difference at all other than the ESE81 seems to be a tiny tad bit smoother on my phone than the ESE53 was (but this perception might just be in my head).

 

[OMJ]

pete said any ese53 kernels should work fine

 

[Fabolous]

Something's different about the framework, and I can't get the clock and notification text to turn white.

Also, just updated the OP with this:

[snake_fist_gung_fu]

Im gonna wait till the new BB 1.0 rolls out. I see no need to flash IMO.

 

[bose301s]

Flashed to ESE81, my lock screen has disappeared. It's odd, I may flash back to BB .9

Ok, more problems than just that, I couldn't get back to the home screen and other things, probably from my own doing but back to BB .9 for now.

 

[Groid]

I'm trying hard to understand this.
1. If I were to go back to stock 2.01 (from droidmod) and installed Pete's update in this thread, would I have a stock ESE81 firmware and apps and still have root?
2. Would I be able to overclock, install custom roms, kernals, etc.?

Yes, you can do just that. I'm running ESE81 with Chevy's LV 7 slot 1GHz kernel as we speak. shoudl work with any of the ESE53 kernels from what I've read. Obviously complete custom ROMS will overwrite ESE81 for ESE53 so it'd be pretty pointless to do so. Kernels work though
