2.1 rooted!

[Bat~man]

NO I got to the reboot recovery and it gave me a menu, I hit reboot on that menu and the phone restarted.

Now I cant seem to pull that menu up again

When I type Reboot recovery or try to flash int he command screen, it says it is not a recognized internal or external command

 

[Kelmar]

gotcha!

power off phone, press and HOLD home key, press power key, do not release home key until you are in recovery mode.

 

[Bat~man]

OK bud, should I leave the phone plugged in the PC with debugging on to do this?

ahh got it, doing a backup now...thanks a lot man

 

[Kelmar]

No problem, let us know if you have any other questions along the way

 

[Bat~man]

OK I done the backup, but no it wont let me disable the OTA updates

I rebooted and it the command screen when I try to adb remount, it says remount failed, operation not permitted

 

[Kelmar]

Typing this first, right?


cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

 

[Bat~man]

Yes I copied it from the guide, even closed down the command screen and brought it back up

 

[Kelmar]

Try...

"adb shell"

"su"

then try remount.


Stuck loading a new ROM on mine so can't exactly open CMD to doulbe check...

hey kelmar, can you help me out with my question?

"Sorry man I dont know if its cuz its late or what but I don't get it..I am rooted running fresh 2.1.2 and I want to run the official Sprint 2.1 rooted..what is it I need to do?"

 

[Kelmar]

Did you do a nandroid backup as soon as you rooted?

Wipe everything and restore your nandroid and you'll be at the official 2.1 (but just rooted).

Fresh 2.1.2 was based on that last leak before the official release. Flipz verified that the MD5 checksums were the same for the leak as well as the official release. since both had the exact same file name and both were singed releases with the exact same MD5 checksum that means that both files were in fact the same. that means that Fresh 2.1.2 IS based off the official release it was just cleaned up and the Sprint bloatware was removed as well as the ROM was deodexed in order to allow the use of a vanilla lock screen.

if you REALLY insist on running the official release just because you feel that it would somehow be better, then SEARCH XDA for the link to the download (since sprint replaced it with one with root patched)

Download THIS and run this RUU.

Go to HERE and install the .apk file. Run the app.

That's the easiest way IMO

Install the .apk from that site and open the app. It's the one click method for those who are on 2.1 and didn't install the OTA from yesterday.

You can install it directly from your phone.

Go to the link from your phone. Download the apk. Click to install it.

Go to your app drawer and find the app, click to open it.


From what I've read, it should do EVERYTHING.

 

[Hero_Guy]

ok im opening it up now and ill let you know how it goes

 

[Hero_Guy]

ok wow it was one click done! so how do i know im rooted? it says i am but i just want to be sure

 

[Kelmar]

easy way is to download an app from the market that requires root access (such as cachecleaner) and see if the superuser function pops up and asks if you want allow the app.
