I rooted mine drunk from 2.0. I woke up the next morning ready to root, looked at my phone and was like "oh. Ok then." Then proceded to do the same to my buddies a couple weeks later. Apparently I get "in the zone" when I'm drunk.

I switch ROMs when I am "altered" too, LOL.
I seem to do a better job than when I am sober.

i tried to root my droid today downloaded sprecovery and rsd lite sprecovery is on my phone but it won't read the update.zip file keeps telling me it was aborted

I have the same problem I just think of all the things that could go wrong -_- Going back to 2.0 then to rooted 2.1 its crazy. If I do root and run on 2.1 rooted when official Froyo comes out will I also get the update????

@Chaz
You need to flash Clockwork recovery. This is because many ROMs now use this instead of SPRecovery and these ROMs do not have dual support. So depending on what ROM you are going to flash, you use the appropriate recovery. So to download Clockwork just search up ROM Manager in Market and you can use this app to switch ROM's as well.

@Pelon
Rooted ROMs tend to disable or turn off OTA updates so you will have to find one that doesn't. This is pretty simple but you do know that the official Froyo will be just like the ones that the Dev's are coming out with, just with less features and less optimized (but probably won't have some bugs that the ROM's have now, but this will be sorted out pretty quickly)

make sure its not named " update.zip.zip " you can use astro to rename it. This is the most likely cause.

lol .... its a nice feeling waking up with a strange rom next to you

I had the same issue, all worried about something going wrong, because that's the luck I have. I read all the forums concerning rooting, finding that the chances of something going wrong was remote.

All the people here have either had or knows someone that has had an issue and 9.9 times out of 10 if there's a problem there's a fix.

I took the plunge and have never looked back. The process is simple, there's step by step videos and when you're done bam you'll wonder why you even worried and your phone will be your own!

First hello to all. I had all the same fears of bricking my brand new phone. I have just switched from the iPhone and will never go back. With all the info on here it seems simple to customize your phone. And if something goes wrong, someone else probably has also done it and found the solution to fix. I rooted last night and its like Christmas as a little kid. Granted it took 5 hours, and I had to come up with a different method than any I had read, but you wont regret it once its done. Just make sure to first make a backup before u do anything so even if u tank it, u just restore and start again.
