No ROOTING for 2.1 official yet?

[matrix2004]

Try this.
Make a backup, then while in recovery go to installation (or w/e it is)
Choose Install ROM from SDcard
Go to clockworkmod/download/briancook.ca/android/nexus/gapps
And then choose the file named: gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed

Hopefully it'll bring the market app back.

I actually fixed it before you posted this but thanks anyway. I manually installed the gapp zip file.

2.1 SP Recovery SBF - DroidMod thats a different way to get root access while on 2.1 OTA other then the RSD way.

Did you try it yet

 

[borgey401]

[thebizz]

theres the video right there for ya it's so easy to do. you do have to use RSD lite but all you do is flash SPRecovery then you can install a custom rom onto it which will give you root

So what will happen if u try to root with say DMupdater?

No problem. Just glad you got your Market app back

What do you mean?
I thought DM only was for 2.0.1 so far?

I followed the simple instructions, got RSD Lite, installed sprecovery in like 2 minutes, and am now running JRummy v.6 at 800mhz. I completely forgot how awesome having a rooted phone is since i've been running the official 2.1OS since it came out. It's good to have a fast phone again with tons of toys.

 

[thebizz]

That's why I don't want to go back to stock its slow and not enough toys

 

[mjesenovec]

Yeah. I noticed some unwanted lag in 2.1 which made me miss my overclocked and rooted droid. so today, i did some research, used the new sbf to flash sprecovery, and threw JRummy Remix v.6 on my phone. Very impressed with the speed and sleekness of this ROM. it's the first ESE81 based cooked ROM i have used, and i am definitely liking what i see. The way i look at it, with an ESE81 based rom, i get all the smoothness and stability of the official 2.1, with the speed and goodies of having it rooted and overclocked. especially things like wifi tether, terminal emulator, etc....i just missed having root.

 

[thebizz]

I wouldn't know the feeling rooted in Nov-Dec timeframe and haven't looked back

 

[mjesenovec]

yeah, i wasn't 100% set on anything. I'm actually glad i've used the official 2.1 so i have real experience with it, and can justify my decision to stay rooted. also, i have a lot of friends/family asking for my opinions on droid software and roms, so it's good i can give educated advice now.

 

[thebizz]

Yeah its good I just know stock isn't good for me I get bored to easily
