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.

AFAIK, Never, because it will not fit on an unrooted G1. it needs to have the DangerSPL because it frees up 10MB for the system partition to use.

Goolge said that G1's weren't going above 1.6, only newer android devices are getting 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2, so either root or enjoy your plain donut
Moved to the Q&A thread.
just root if you wanna get 2.1 or 2.2, as was stated beforehand, you'll never get an ota update again for your phone. soz bud..

OTA updates are weak.
Root the phone either yourself or pay someone that has experience doing so in the past.
It is just essential in taking advantage of your HTC Dream/G1 fully.
Rom Devs contributing their amazing work here on xda work wonders and should be recognized as such.
Once I got mine rooted I was more than ecstatic with the results and continue to be til this day.
Ive noticed the goldcard creation and a few other methods to gain root/s-off...do theses apply for Verizon Droid Incredible 2 users also?

You're probably better off trying the Incredible 2 forum. All methods for S-OFF/root will be there.
not root methods for 2.3.3

Not really sure what you mean. Regardless, you should be asking these questions on the Inc 2 forum.

You can only change the kernel and baseband on these phones with a OTA update from Motorola. Our bootloader is locked.
You can return the phone to stock software with one of the FXR apps that are available. But the baseband and kernel will remain unchanged. I used this one successfully last weekend: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/5484-r3l3as3droot-and-43v3r-root-for-the-bionic-v21/
Will the method mentioned on the RootWiki site also remove the bootstrap/CWM if installed?
Yes it will
So basically I can load bootstrap and cwm from koush and something like liberty and then go back to the way it was when unboxed with no sign of any changes? The reason I ask is I am still in my 14 day return window.

After installing CWM make a virgin backup before making ANY changes.

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...

Hi I'm new to the forum and I have some questions. hopefuly I'm in the right area.
Ok #1 so I own a bionic and I've had it about 10 months now. Should I wait for the new ics then root or should I just root now?
#2 What are the pros and cons of rooting the bionic? I still own the orginal droid and its rooted and it was a bada$$ phone. I just want to know if it will be the same with the bionic.
#3 If i root can anybody point me to a good root program? I've been searching and found motofail and petes root tool. Are these any good?
Thanks to anybody that can help
You can root using motofail if on the .902 or .905 update petes method works on prior versions. If u install a ics leak you can also root with razor edges method.

Motofail is easy as hell to root the Bionic with. There is a special edition of Motofail (only root program period) that worked for my Bionic running ICS. I say if you are willing to tinker. Install ICS .232 and than root.
Thanks man. How do I get my hands on the ICS leak?? Every time I find it the link says error nothing here.
