Okay, everything I've looked at has just been a matter of 'take this file and install it on your sdcard and then flash it and you're rooted.' That's fine. But where does that file come from? Someone makes it, right; they have to...
So... how do you root? Is it a matter of recompiling the Android source with a few changes? Is it something that needs done with the existing ROM that modifies it?
I've got the 2.1 update-1 on my Droid and I wanted to be able to OC again. How can I accomplish that? Or do I have to wait until some mysterious someone somewhere comes up with a new update.zip for me to d/l and use?
