So I'm attempting to root my droid...

[mickylxxx]

Using this guide that Moto made: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/rescue-squad-guides/74028-root-droid-1-regardless-os-version.html

Anyway, when I get to the point where this should happen:

Instead of installing, it says:

E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E:Cant mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.




I left some out, but that's mostly what it says. What am I doing wrong? I put the update.zip into the SD card and named it update. Should I be putting it into a certain folder?

did you put the file on the root of your sdcard and rename it update.zip (update for windows 7)

That's what I had trouble with, and I'm probably going to look like the biggest idiot.. but where's the root located? Haha.

 

[pc747]

That means it does not go in any folders.

 

[mickylxxx]

That's what I did. I didn't put it in any folders, just put the zip file on it as "update.zip"

 

[pc747]

and you clicked allow update.zip installation, then install/sdcard/ update.zip

 

[mickylxxx]

That's correct.

 

[pc747]

if yyou already flashed the sbf then you should have sprecovery, and if you have that you can install a 2.2 based rom or the rooted 2.2 stock image

 

[mickylxxx]

Can you direct me to where I can install a rom from? Sorry.. I'm way too new at this.

 

[pc747]

in my signature read this so you have an understanding:

if you need to know the basics of rooting, including how to install a rom via sprecovery and clockwork recovery, see here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/res...t-rooting.html



then follow this: Custom Roms - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

 

[pc747]

You not still in recovery mode are you.

 

[mickylxxx]

No I'm not in recovery. I'll give it a try really quick.

 

[mickylxxx]

I don't think my Droid is rooted though?

If you rebooted again you will have to start motocacache's steps from the part where you flash SPR. You need to catch the reboot and hold up to get back into the bootloader get the "Pass" then reboot directly into recovery and install the update.zip.

Also make sure the file is named update.zip, not update.zip.zip

Once you have Spr on, you install the update, this will root you
