Im encoutering a huge problem rooting my friends droid. Now Ive rooted mine, my fiances and ive done SBF to mine 2 times and then rooted with no trouble.
So i go to help him and i figure we will do it the old fashoned way so he can learn adb and whatnot. We install the SDK and get it running though the command prompt and then flash his 2.1 to 2.0.1 and start the root..
First we tried to use the one on alldroid, the merged update.zip file. I merged them and got to ese81 and had the super user program installed, so it appeared to work... But i cant do anything through ADB, either on the phone or on the computer. On the phone it says 'device not found' on the phone it says 'permission denied' and he gets no superuser access pop up.
So i figured it was messed up and re-SBF'd and did it again using the normal update.zip and that worked, then we went to install busybox and again ADB says no device found and the phone terminal emulator wont do SU..
So we download droid root helper and try that, the permission access screen comes up, we hit allow and then it appears to install busybox, flash_image and 99.3b... I reboot and im still in the old recovery, go into the OS and try ADB and ive got nothing. Terminal emulator doesnt allow SU to be typed either.
Whats going on?
1: correct drivers are installed, we flashed RSD on his computer and it installed the right ones
2: ADB is working on the computer.. when we type "adb" we get the whole list of commands
3: Yes we are having the phone in USB debug mode.
