ok im sorry this sucks i just went back to the main page way of doing this.... and i get stuck here: 2. Copy the folder named Tools and the apk to your sdcard.
3. Next install the DroidRootHelper.apk to your phone

i do not see the apk thing its talking about....and when i continue on nothing works like the following steps say...so what did i do wrong
 
I'm having a problem and need to know how far back I need to go to fix it. The phone shows I'm running 2.1 firmware with 2.6.29-omap`-g0dd7e0b android-buid@apa26 #511 Kernel. I used Adam's 5.01 .trz rom but now I don't show the Super User app nor do I have the Auto Detect choice in SetCPU.

I'm running 0.99.3b.img recovery and flash it before installing the 5.01. I didn't wipe the cache or do a reset as it wasn't in the instructions.

Is there an easy fix or do I have to go all the way back to stock and start over?

Thanks

Installed the ROM with 0.99.3b just copied the rom as downloaded and copied it to my sdcard. Booted in recovery and installed after selecting update from sdcard. Having issues with reboots but am working on it with slower OC speeds. Am at 800 now, have been for about 8 hours without a reboot.
 
I've searched the forums but haven't found an answer. Has there been a fix for the keyboard light? If it hasn't been fixed, can someone tell me how to go back to the stock rom and if it's possible go back to the backup that I created before I loaded 2.1? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
 
When will there be a REAL 2.1 root? Like how we rooted 2.0.1?
I am nor comfortable doing all this other stuff to root...I dont like seeing..."you have to reactivate your phone, and it uninstalls everything". rated it is appreciated some one found a loop hole but...it'd a long process unlike the root for 2.0.1
Would be nice to have a way like that.
Android 2.0.1 wasn't out to long and it was rooted quick.
Anyone have an Idea when that might come out?
 
Hey I just got my droid, would it be a good idea to update it and install this right now before I get any apps and stuff? or is there something I need to do before I decide to get android 2.1?

Your droid should already have Android 2.1 on it. Go to settings, click about phone, and see which android is already on there.
