yeah its not to horrible just google "rooting stock 2.1 droid" basically you downgrade to stock 2.0 the flash a rooted 2.1 then install a recovery image, clockwork or what have you. Hope that helps.

I have FRF83.... Am I now rooted??

Ok since I have frf83, am I now rooted? Like can I use cyanogen mods and what not? The reason I'm asking is because I just saw a thread containing a new launcher called- TouchWiz...and the dev said that it requires root access -frf83- ... I'm not sure what this means lol.. I haven't rooted my nexus one, but am I rooted? :shrugs:
Thanks for helping me

did you get FRF83 OTA ? If so then no, you don't have root.

I forgot what OTA stands for.... But here is the process -basically- bought nexus one, installed froyo, installed the first update -frf50- then to frf72 now 83...
I mind you, this was not all at once lol.. I bought nexus one when it first came out.. All this was over time.. I updated my nexus when the updates first came at as well.. -all this is just a side note-
So basically, I just have the updates and not rooted? Right? ....
And what's this OTA thing? What does it do? What does it stand for? I forgot... And if I don't have it, should I get it? ..
Thanks again for your help, I'm just trying to get up to par with everybody lol

Yes you got the leaked builds that went out Over the Air (OTA).
You don't have root access.

That's right! Over the air.. I knew that. lol .. Ok that's what I thought, I appreciate man. So what we have is not official updates from google?

The last one (FRF83) may be the final version. Previous ones were release candidates.

Updating Captivate to Android 2.2 while rooted.

We all know the Captivate is getting its official 2.2 update in a few months.
My question is, since I rooted my Captivate, will I have to do anything special to update? Or, will I just be able to manually check for updates and It will install automatically from there?

General, actually. My bad.

So I heard there was an OTA update recently?

Has it been rooted? If I unroot will it install, then can be rerooted?

use the search button ffs

The new 5.7.893 OTA was just found today on stage 1 via cheesecake. Its only a 4 Meg update from those running 5.6.893. If you are using the p3droid forever root, it doesnt break it.
I'm running it and haven't noticed any issues except webtop seems broken.

From what I understand, only those who have installed one of the "leaked" version found via Cheesecake are seeing this OTA.
If you have a stock/release level Bionic, you wont see this...

on my x10i
i dont think ota works

on the motorola forums they stated that the ota is in testing and will be out in 30 to 60 days.

I have a thread started for this very thing.
Once I find one I would like to start a thread for stock roms of every upgrade version.

Quick question

I decided to start using my old revolution as a backup phone. It is basically a brand new refurbished replacement they sent me a while back that I've never used. When I go to update it to gingerbread it says that there isn't an update available. I'm just wondering if Verizon pulled the update when they ended its life and is there any way I can still root it and and install a gingerbread rom on it without first updating to gingerbread? Any help would be appreciated.

You need to be on gingerbread to install a gingerbread ROM or you'll brick your phone, it's a complete pain in the ass to fix so I wouldn't try it. There are instructions to manually update to gb in the dev section if you have access to a pc...
