okay.. i just restared the process.. its uploading cg66 to phone

 

[themib]

[dwsurfpunk]

good

should i worry that the battery was at 50% when i restarted?

 

[dwsurfpunk]

alright now it says
phone should reboot, and then continue with the rooting process
--waiting for device--
nbut my phone is just on bootloader screen

 

[themib]

remove usb, reboot phone, when phone has fully rebooted to normal os , reconnect usb

 

[dwsurfpunk]

now it says rebooting phone again to continue with process.. and its back on bootloader screen. i did all the steps right and it is here

 

[themib]

yes remove usb, reboot, reconnect usb when it has completed booting

 

[themib]

it's not suppose to do that, but happens to some people

 

[dwsurfpunk]

ugh. im just gonna have to keep retrying i guess.. thanks for the help! I would be absolutely lost without you.

 

[themib]

you just needed to pull usb cable and reboot, reconnect USB when phone has finished booting

 

[dwsurfpunk]

so its on recovery.. which option do i choose?

 

[themib]

wipe cache, confirm, reboot

now you should learn how to
[HOW TO] Install/Use Droid 2 Bootstrap
so you can make nandroid backup in clockwork mod recovery(cwm)

thank you. this thread, the basics of our convo, could really be broken down to a step by step guide that reaqly really helps. so after it reboots do i need to install a rootchecker? or what do i do.

 

[dwsurfpunk]

wait.. all i want to do is to make it faster by removing system apps.. and i guess somehow getting it to have longer battery life.. what should i do for that?
what is overclocking cpu..
what apps do i need ? money is not a problem.

 

[themib]

really just install Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap
Tap on Droid 2 Bootstrap app
Tap on Bootstrap Recovery,
When you see superuser popup (allow/deny), select allow
Tap on OK when you see popup that says Success

if you get superuser popup, you are rooted

if you are going to remove apps, you will want a nandroid backup
also should get Titanium Backup pro
so you can freeze apps, not remove
see my D2G list

i cannot find a pirate version of bootstrap.. i used root checker basic. it says i do not have root access

 

[themib]

moto bloat that can be removed

look at SetCPU, QuickClock apps

 

[dwsurfpunk]

setcpu says i do not have root access.. how do i change this
