So I tried to root my droid... Totally didn't back it up first... Stupid me. But now it won't turn on. Before I go about that subject, I have another question, Do I have to upgrade to CL14 before I try to root my phone?

EDIT: I think I might have the same problem chronic had...

EDIT EDIT: Nevermind. I'm rooted, running ZE11... But I deleted everything on my phone in the process. lololo... :(

if you have speedrabbit 1.7, then you successfully rooted your phone! I was gonna reply to your pm, but I guess it isn't necessary anymore :) and the reason the rw/ro commands don't work is because you're supposed to key in "su" for super user access... it will change the "$" to a "#"... once there, then you can do whatever the hell you want... and I would do some more research before running setCPU... not real sure how much you can overclock the moment...

well, see I thought so too, but when I typed adb shell, i could have swore I had a # and not a $....


and SetCPU is on here to make it use less Mhz cycles when its asleep. I heard that helps the battery even more.... still have SO MUCH to learn!

i think the whole $ vs # display sometimes has to do with where your SDK files are located on your c: drive

just type "su" and if you have root, it'll change from the $ to the #

as for setCPU - i believe people who've tried to overclock in the past weren't very successful with it. but i use it to underclock during sleep and such, and it does help battery. :)
