Root Stock Froyo For Droid From Source?

[OMJ]

It was the stock 2.1 with superuser via the update.zip. It gave me an error message or two, but after rebooting and clearing all of the apps in Superuser.apk, it worked. I installed ROM Manager and ran with it.

Either that or maybe my droid DID become self-aware. uh oh. If I disappear soon, make sure someone finds and destroys my droid. I mean... not destroys. id never say destroys... I love my droid. Yeah.

but then my phone was always quirky. I was one of the .03% who bought their droids on opening day and the screen rotated when you tilted the phone.

hmm I cant believe the stock recovery flashed that. Once my droid is charged back up I am going to put this to some further testing

Well if its true, no one really knows! I haven't seen it out and about, post the update.zip fade?

Yeah, I just went back through the how-to I followed and noticed you were the one who made the update.zip I used! lmao. The first part of the how-to specifies flashing an SBF, but I had just barely got back from BB with the phone, and was pissed off at the world. I run W7 64bit which I have never been able to get to work with RSDLite, so I just had one of those "fk it" moments and tried the update.zip right from the 2.1 version that was on the phone when I got it back.

Prior to the phones temporary death, it was running CM 5.0.6.2, so the ROM isn't the one I had on there, and the recovery was definitely the stock one.

Well, OMJ... you have everyone waiting on pins and needles.

rsdliting back to 2.0.1 now. Then to force the 2.1 update. I will let you know

 

[radikal]

ooh ancy! if this works, i am doing this asap

 

[OMJ]

rsd lite may have frozen up on me. I am going to go get some dinner and hope its fixed when I get back

edit: totally messed up. This may be awhile

 

[radikal]

I use the vanilla froyo from source koush put out plus my own version of gapps from nexus frf83 and some media files that PDR447 put together. In other words a mashup. Runs well
