Un-Froyo my Droid

[toddtmw]

So, I installed Froyo using the Droid-Life (www . droid-life . com/2010/05/06/guide-to-rooting-android-2-1-on-a-motorola-droid) instructions. (Stupid rules about posting links!!!)

Now that the "official" Froyo is due, well, it's past due, but we can only assume it will get here eventually, what do I need to do to get this update? Will it automatically download and install, or do I need to restore my droid to something more "stock".

Oh, and if I have to do something, can someone point me to the directions?

Thanks!

1) its not a stupid rule. it is a rule to avoid people spamming links. it helps to elminate people from having bots post irrelevent link to merch and stuff like that. please to not complain about a rule that you do not fully understand. it would be better if you contacted a mod or admin and ask what the purpose is.

2) you will have to go back to 2.1 stock for the update to show up. you will loose root though so up to you if that is the direction you want to go in or not. i would just wait for an official file to be posted and install it manually so you still maintain root. up to you though.

Isnt it really easy to root again after unrooting?

 

[Brett]

its the same process as it has been. rsd lite to flash a sprecovery and then load a rom with root access

I want to do this also is there a link to follow how to go back to 2.1 so I could install official froyo or just wait till someone roots the official so I won't have to go thru that process

good news guys, if you go to droid-life you will find the apk for Droid Mod and if any of you guys remember them, they are the group that created the app to root your droid without rsd lite back for 2.01.

they updated it to root the droid with 2.1
