First of all, this is for *rooted phones ONLY*.

OK, you should have 2 files (flash_image, recovery-0.99.2b.img) on the root of your sdcard. You can unplug your DROID and do the rest "unplugged".

- Open up Terminal Emulator (or a like app) on your DROID.

Move the flash_image binary from the sdcard into /data/local:
su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
# dd if=/sdcard/flash_image of=/data/local/flash_image
# chmod 755 /data/local/flash_image
# rm /sdcard/flash_image

Flash the image to the recovery partition:
# /data/local/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-0.99.2b.img

--------------------------

(NOTE: You ONLY need to do these next steps of renaming files if you bought your Droid BEFORE 2.0.1 was out and you updated TO 2.0.1 at some point. If your Droid CAME with 2.0.1, you don

I ran into the same issue with Sholes being down. I followed this tutorial with current links a few days ago to root my wifes Droid. This will give you .3b instead of .2b. I noticed absolutely no difference between the two. (I have .2b on my Droid)

I was wondering what the difference was. When I did it 0.99.3b was brand new and I used it figuring it was an updated version. Seems like everyone is STILL using 0.99.2b. Am I a reject or something? LOL

Thank you for that. Those links have worked nicely.

Wow, installing it manually seems hard.

I just flashed DroidMod, got the recovery, then switched to a different ROM.

Glad I could help. That's what the thanks button is for.

Easier way to do it, but it leaves a person outta the loop for other hacks. Learning basic rooting leads to confidence for other things like installing the equalizer hack. The more you know, the less you need to ask for help.
