Root Need help rooting

[Blackmagic]

Hey guys, I know you probably hear this alot about ppl that need help rooting but in my scenario that is somewhat the case. My recent droid that i used to have had issues with the screen not turning on so i had to send it in which was rooted. Asurion sent me back a refurbished droid with froyo build FRG83D. I rooted it using the SuperOneClick Root method. The phone appears to be rooted cause the SuperUser icon is in my app drawer. But when it comes to installing ROMS on the device using ROM manager i put the zip file on my phone to install. My phone reboots twice showing the Motorola icon and then restarts itself regular. It never gets to installing the ROM. Anyway to fix this???

Did you install ClockworkMod? Flash it in ROM Manager, then flash "alternate recovery" (SPRecovery) and then flash ClockworkMod AGAIN. Then try.

lemme try that out see if it works

Where are you getting stuck?

EDIT: If you can't flash a custom recovery, you likely aren't completely rooted. You can go into Superuser and see if ROM Manager is denied for some reason... but other than that you may have to use another, more reliable rooting method like RSD Lite.

Well im getting stuck when the phone reboots itself to install the ROM and nothing happenes. I checked Superuser and ROM manager is allowed. So i dunno what the problem is. Other people have used this method and it worked. I guess i will try RSD Lite method. Thanks anyway, gonna keep trying until it works.

I had a hard time installing a ROM when I first rooted my Droid 1. Flashing sprecovery first and then clockwork did it for me. It sounds like your not rebooting into recovery.

A good test to do is too just reboot in recovery from ROM Manager.

We see this all the time. I guess it's time that someone asks whoever maintains rom manager to make sure this command is also passed through when the custom recovery is flashed. Here's the command:

[FONT=Comic Sans MS]mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.old[/FONT]

Now there's several ways (apps, terminal, adb shell) you can implement this command, but make sure you have /system 'mounted' as read/write first.

good luck
