Root Droid Rooting on 2.1

[sum41man96]

Hey guys i was looking int orooting my Moto Droid. I came across this video on youtube, YouTube - Motorola Droid How to ROOT your Droid - The Easy Way!, I was wondering if anyone knows if I can root my 2.1 Droid using this tutorial. If I can't when do you think there will be a 2.1 Droid root relese without reverting to 2.0.1. Thanks

Didnt watch the video cause I am at work but you cannot root 2.1 without reverting to 2.0.1 If someone ever finds a 2.1 root exploit which is kinda unlikely imo its going to be awhile

why do you think it will be so long they came out with the 2.0.1 root pretty quickly?

Probably because there is no incentive to look for it as it is easy to go back and root and then install a 2.1 rom.

if i go back to 2.0.1 do i lose all the data on my phone?

Nope.
Follow this guide and then follow this guide. Then you'll be rooted. Enjoy!

Yep, but in theory, all apps from the market should redownload (it doesn't always happen). Contacts will sync back to your phone. Just make sure you have your settings synced with you Google account.

Glad you found my video =D More to come soon - There is a post on here with all my videos somewhere. None of the mods I guess thinks it deserves a sticky but oh well lol

i can add in whatever videos you have if they are complete to the rooting guide, no need for 2 sticky threads on the same thing though.

Just send the links to either me or Trident and we will get them in the OP of the sticky.

When i run the RSD lite with the .sbf file my "bootloader 2c.6c" does not change and it always fails at 100%. is something wrong with the 32 bit driver installation ?
