2.1 rooted!

NO I got to the reboot recovery and it gave me a menu, I hit reboot on that menu and the phone restarted.

Now I cant seem to pull that menu up again

When I type Reboot recovery or try to flash int he command screen, it says it is not a recognized internal or external command
 
gotcha!

power off phone, press and HOLD home key, press power key, do not release home key until you are in recovery mode.
 
OK bud, should I leave the phone plugged in the PC with debugging on to do this?

ahh got it, doing a backup now...thanks a lot man
 
OK I done the backup, but no it wont let me disable the OTA updates

I rebooted and it the command screen when I try to adb remount, it says remount failed, operation not permitted
 
Try...

"adb shell"

"su"

then try remount.


Stuck loading a new ROM on mine so can't exactly open CMD to doulbe check... :(
 
hey kelmar, can you help me out with my question?

"Sorry man I dont know if its cuz its late or what but I don't get it..I am rooted running fresh 2.1.2 and I want to run the official Sprint 2.1 rooted..what is it I need to do?"
 
Did you do a nandroid backup as soon as you rooted?

Wipe everything and restore your nandroid and you'll be at the official 2.1 (but just rooted).

Fresh 2.1.2 was based on that last leak before the official release. Flipz verified that the MD5 checksums were the same for the leak as well as the official release. since both had the exact same file name and both were singed releases with the exact same MD5 checksum that means that both files were in fact the same. that means that Fresh 2.1.2 IS based off the official release it was just cleaned up and the Sprint bloatware was removed as well as the ROM was deodexed in order to allow the use of a vanilla lock screen.

if you REALLY insist on running the official release just because you feel that it would somehow be better, then SEARCH XDA for the link to the download (since sprint replaced it with one with root patched)
 
can somebody walk me through the whole thing step by step please? im having problems at step 9 when typing in adb devices. i keep getting its not recognized as an internal external blah blah blah. im doing everything step by step and still have problems and im really good with computers and what not but this is frustrating me. please help

You can install it directly from your phone.

Go to the link from your phone. Download the apk. Click to install it.

Go to your app drawer and find the app, click to open it.


From what I've read, it should do EVERYTHING.
 
easy way is to download an app from the market that requires root access (such as cachecleaner) and see if the superuser function pops up and asks if you want allow the app.
