It's because of morons like messenger13 that keep creating threads like this one!

does this wipe any user data or only restore the kernel?

Same problem here tjreishus. Maybe there is a bug in it?

Just ran SMUpdater 6 ... perfect.

 

[kokiangel]

Huh! Must be my phone then. Bummer.

Joe, are you going unrooted and waiting for OTA 2.1? I'm tempted to do it just to see what it's like, though it sounds like they watered it down a bit for Droid.

 

[messenger13]

Joe, are you going unrooted and waiting for OTA 2.1?

Oh heck no! I'm holding onto my Sholes 2.0.3 running at 1.3 GHz for as long as I can. I'm playing this whole 2.1 thing by ear. Not really sure how it's all going to go down just yet.

 

[bills534]

I rooted my phone following the directions on the sholes.info website. I got the sholes-updater 6 installed, but when I run it all I get a "uid not allowed to su" error. Do I need to re-root my phone, or is there another way to get around that?

EDIT: well it looks like the update.zip linked on the sholes site doesnt work correctly. I went ahead and grabbed the one from this tutorial and re-rooted. now the smupdater is working fine.

Just when I wanted to root they announce 2.1 -

Not sure what to do.

I'd wait. Unless you've got a lot of free time on your hands this afternoon/evening and you've got nothing else better to do.

I will have the time tonight to do this.

If 2.1 is what they say I might as well root the phone and besides I really want wi-fi tether -

 

[maddness]

If you go back to 2.0.1 with shoals will you get the over the air updates of 2.1 when they push it out?

 

[Asterix]

there are no options in the updater, just has lots of info in the screen about my phone. I saw this and thought that i would try and root it, but now i'm stuck in some void and cannot unroot it. It might be since Sholes website has lost all their server space. I tried to reflash with the 2.0.1 and i still have root.

 

[NewDroidOrder]

Ok so I have just unrooted back to 2.0.1 using Sholes. I have tried running an old root app like setcpu to see if im unroot. it worked, so now my only question is: now that I am back to being nonroot will I be able to get the new 2.1.0 OTA update that is supposed to be pushed through here this week. I have heard that it may start in some places as soon as midnight feb. 10.

as you all can see I am new to these forums, so I may as well say hello.

I'll be checking back in to see the results.

I originally rooted my phone using SM Updater, which worked flawlessly. However, when I try to unroot the phone using SM Updater, a warning box pops up:
"Your recovery image needs to be updated. Continuing will void your warranty!"
it then gives me two options.
1. I understand the risk
2. Quit (recommended)

should I update the recovery image?

 

[NewDroidOrder]

Yah that's how I did it. You just have to follow it and not do whatever is recomended pretty much lol.

 

[acr89]

Didn't mean to post twice. Thanks so much for the quick response. I'm going to wait for the 2.1 update to see if I want to stick with that update, or reroot and go with a custom ROM.

 

[SinfulDragon]

SM Updater 7 is now out, going to use it to unroot if the 2.0.3 ROM doesn't improve my phone.

 

[hexon]

Wow, worked perfectly. It maybe took 5-7 minutes to completely do its thing. I do have to admit that all the prompts telling me to quit sort of scared me a little as first, but I'm completely unrooted, slow, and stock now ready for 2.1

I rooted with this, used SetCPU to overclock. Then I unrooted with this app. Does that automatically make my CPU go back to normal settings?

I would say yes, but I haven't done this yet.

have you been able to update your google maps to 4.0 after un-rooting? I wasnt able to make that work for me.

Does sholes overwrite the maps to the older version when unrooting?

it didnt rewrite maps after root or after unroot. is there some way i can see what processor speed im running without using an apl that requires root? just one to see the speed, not change it.
