Here's one. Look at memory, if my math is correct that equals more than 256

Well I'm all set to jump but its late. I think Ill check out all the battle scares in the morning just to make sure before pulling the trigger.
 
Yeah the D2 root method works, I got root and busybox back up and running.

They say it should only take a minute or two, but I let it run for like 5 before my adb connection got reset.
 
I assume I lost root. Superuser and Bootstrap are still there, but I cannot reboot into bootstrap. Barnacle and root explorer are failing to work as well. I am gearing up for the D2 method, but abd is new to me.
 
Would someone be kind enough to unrar the d2 root method and zip it and send it to me. Not real sure if that would work but its worth a try
 
I cannot get into PC Mode anymore. I tried to load the moto drivers and it said mine were newer. Now the Motorola ABD Interface driver is not working. I guess I will try uninstalling and reinstalling.
 
I guess I am hosed for now. I cannot get PC Mode to work. USB Mass storage works fine. When I switch to PC Mode, nothing happens. I used to get the Droid device to show up undre "My Computer". I assume I cannot go forward with the Droid2 rooting without PC Mode. Now, do I attempt to SBF or just wait this out?

EDIT: it appears maybe it is working. When I enable USB debugging, the DroidX icon goes away. I will try to go forward now
 
Would love to see a changelog of sorts, but I think I will wait until the official update and its ensuing ROMs come around so I don't have to put up with the bloat without manually removing it.

Ugh, looks like since the Debian maintainers are Nazis they don't have unrar in their standard repositories.. apt-get install unrar would be too easy.


Anyway..

Yeah thats what I was thinking, I issued the command above and nothing. I instead went to the unrar website and got the tarball and it worked like a charm. Your zip above should stuck to the top of this thread (though I never tried it) because I'm sure many people will lose root with this and anyone that doesn't have windows can't easily unzip a .rar file. I don't really understand why it was a .rar file in the first place :confused:. Anyway I got root back and I went another day without touching windows :D Thanks again man for trying to help.
 
ughh im stuck at the sign in screen for google
edit: nvm got it working but it shows a different version froyo instead of the one p3 said
 
Any chance this will be presented in the same simple update.zip format as last time where wE can update without any extra bootstrap thing?
 
I've been over to MDW, DXForums and here and a lot of people seem to be having a lot of problems with this. Considering how happy I've been with the original leak and that we haven't seen a change log for the update, I think I'm going to wait until some of this stuff gets figured out.

Those of you who did update successfully, have you noticed any changes, is anything running better than the original leak?
 
I just upgraded and really haven't found any differences save two: the version number in "About Phone", and wifi.supplicant_scan_interval is now 45 rather than 60 (I think that's different). Boot speed also seems slower, but I haven't measured it so maybe I'm just imagining that. All my root tweaks were undone, so I'm redoing them.

The market issue (searching for "US Bank" yields 4 results) still exists. PC Mode is still broken. Battery Use still FC's occasionally. I'm kinda starting to wonder if someone didn't change the version numbers in build.prop and uploaded an unchanged image as a gag... (For the curious: ro.build.date=Wed Aug 25 23:50:00 CDT 2010 VS ro.build.date=Tue Aug 10 21:58:48 CDT 2010 in 2.3.9.)
