You know, you can try the way you suggested, and maybe just see if its possible to go to step 18 and just see if it gives you an option to go back to the stock ROM, idk if it will though..I haven't used DMUpdater for a couple months, and when I did use it, I had the full intention of loading the DM rom

Because at step 18 all he says is now to go back to dmupdater and apply the rom so I figure I get to there and than just don't go back to the app

Step 18 is flashing the recovery image, which makes it so you can make it to SPRecovery, which I suppose would make it so you could use the nandroid backup, but I cant remember if it automatically brings the ROM menu up, and if it does, if you can just select the stock rom

That guide says now it will bring up a rom menu but I'm already on the original rom so why would I need to do that. To block ota updates?

Here you go:

Part 2 - Unrooting and Rooting a Motorola DROID - DroidMod 1.0| YouTube

Part 3 - Unrooting and Rooting a Motorola DROID - DroidMod 1.0| YouTube

I didn't watch them, but it takes you through the whole process via video, it might give you a better idea on how the process works

So I could just stop at 33 secs into the secconed video so please watch them and see if I'm right

I believe you're right.. but why would you want nandroid backup if you don't plan on installing a custom rom?

 

[abocornwall]

In case I endup doing something like installing a Tom and want to get back to the original

 

[pops.comp]

if you restore with nandroid you'll still be rooted, just with the stock rom, thats why DMUpdater has the Stock rom, it takes it back to square 1, unrooted

 

[abocornwall]

That's what I mean

 

[pops.comp]

ok I see..

well if you go through with it, let me know if wifi tethering works without a custom rom

 

[abocornwall]

You can't use nandroid until you root right my biggest fear is the rooting cuz if I brick my phone while its rooting then I'm totaly screwed is there any way to restore your phone in the normal recovery menu and wifi tethering works without a rom I watched a youtube video I posted the link to the app if you want it
