So...I am thinking of rooting to upgrade to 2.1 but have some questions I have not seen here yet. I did try searching...but as each phone is different and the Droid root is so new I could not find these questions anywhere.
I have seen the term brick thrown about quite a bit here. When you talk of a risk of bricking the phone are we talking the true sense, as in the phone will be as useful as....???? Or are we talking the more recent and inacurate type of brick...where things dont work, but you can still access the phone and with help can reformat?
Lets say I root and insall Flan, and decide I am not happy with it. How easy is it to unroot? Can I just do a factory reset?
Do you have to turn off auto syncing and backups?
Can I back up my phone and program settings so that if I can undo the root...I can restore my Droid to current configuration without a lot of work?
I believe that is it for now...thanks!
