Root DD10 Released

Im sorry but this thread has me cracking up, I am literally laughing at the last 5 or so posts.

"Can I use the sprint tool?"
"No"

"So I can use the sprint tool?"
"No"

"So since I dont know how to use the recovery tool I can use the Sprint tool?"
"No"

"Hey the Sprint tool failed, should I try the Sprint tool again?"
"&*#@ $#@%*&# NO!"



Awesome....

Guys, don't forget that if you have DD03 and Recovery 2.1.3 you can make a backup of your entire user datain Recovery mode and restore it on any 2.1 ROM. So you can literally go back and forth between ROMs and keep all of your apps and settings.

Do you have a link to the instructions on how to do this? Thanks
 
I guess you need to label me an idiot as well then. I booted into recovery, applied DD10 (after backing up my data in recovery), rebooted and it still says DD03 In the Build number. It took a little while to reboot, but once it did, it is still the same old thing. I've tried twice.

Maybe I have a corrupt download.
 
I'm updating my directions as idiots come out of the wood work.

@bohnded - read my updated instructions. Don't restore data until after your first boot.

As much as I appreciate your help and time in detailing the steps for this upgrade, calling folks names and idiots is a bit over the line. Putting steps like these in public accessible forums, which have a user base that ranges from beginner to expert in phone root and pc experience vs a place like SDX where it's a bit more oriented towards experienced users will obviously encounter questions and need some clarity.

I appreciate the help, and will re-read the post above.

The directions are fairly straight-forward as they are and people are having trouble following them. There is no reason to deviate from the directions or even think about using the sprint tool. It wasn't mentioned in the directions on how to install the update so why would you ask? The only legit question was how to use recovery. Everything else was covered in my post.

What do we call people that can't follow directions?
 
It seems no matter what I do the tar file ends up corrupted on my SD card. I guess I will have to be happy with DD03.

Maybe delete that file and download again?
How big is the file?
Mine was 127MB. If yours is a different size, you may have a bad file.
Are you placing both files in the root (not in another folder) of your sd?
No reason to give up, this was easier than C14>DD03 and even more worth it. :)
 
I think a lot of the confusion is that many people haven't updated to DD03, and they are trying bypass that step. These directions are for those who have DD03 with Joey's recovery only.

I added the DD03 install to my directions, if they don't have it.
 
the baseband will still say dd03, scroll down a nit more and youll see eclair dd10.

Can someone inform me on how large the .tar file (system_update_dd10.tar) should be (in KB). My phone wouldn't restart after the update. I had to reinstall DD03 to get it working again.
 
when i boot into recovery mode i don't have anything like clearing cache, i only have :
1. reboot system now
2. apply sdcard: update.zip
3. wipe data/factory reset
4. wipe cache partition

when i click apply update.zip it says

"install from sdcard...
finding update package...
opening update package...
verifying update package...
e:signature verification failed
installation aborted.
"

idk what to do? i put those 2 files in the sd card root folder.
 
I thought I followed the directions to the word, but instead of "Apply update zip", I used "Apply zip from SD". I didn't see "Apply update zip" as an option in the recovery console. Any ideas?
