Countdown to Unroot!

[BzB]

there doesn't seem to be much of a benefit to unrooting for 2.1. rooted droids basically already have the goods of 2.1 and more. plus you can oc. i'll probably just wait until 2.1 root before i do anything.

Wait, seriously? This is a thread? Time until I unroot: infinity. Why?
1) I don't expect it will take long for the devs (Sholes for me) to build new, amazing ROMs based on the 2.1 core.
2) Overclocking. I used my Droid for 3 days at 1GHz (completely stable), then for fun turned it back to 550MHz. I about cried and immediately switched it back to 1GHz. I believe 2.1 is much better optimized, so 2.1 overclocked should be astonishing.
3) Drocap.
4) Wifi tether.

if you unroot after the update is pushed out, will you still get it when you unroot?

Yes. If it's not automatic, just go to setting -> about phone -> system updates.

You people will make a thread over anything. This whole site is getting filled with a lot of useless crap lately.

I absolutely loved my Droid the day I bought it, but honestly, I can say that I LOVE it even more with all the enhancements.....

I understand, but when those enhancements are gone, you will love it less. I can't have that!

Oh trust me, I know, I've went back to the stock speed a couple times and I always got frustrated cause I was used to the speed......

But the way I look at it, is like, if you can make it better, then why would you wanna go back beneath better?? Why would you backtrack to something not as good? You know what I'm sayin....

Which of course if you never make it "better", then you wouldn't know what "better" was...so I understand what you're sayin

Follow me on this analogy ok? lol

Droid overclocked with root:

A good looking chick
Hair really nice, very expensive due
nice expensive dress
nice shoes... expensive designer
a lot of make up
breast enhancement
lips enhanced
butt enhancement


Droid with 2.0.1:

a good looking chick
hair looks good hair tied
sweat pants, t shirt
some socks
chilln wit no make up on
nice c cups
nice girl lips
nice butt

Droid with 2.1:

a good looking chick
hair did nicely
skirt, nice t shirt
some nice heels
maybe a little eye liner for occasion
c cups are now d cups naturally (right foods, diet, genetics)
nice girl lips
butt gotten fatter (right foods, diet, genetics)



lol... Now every guys has their own choice, and whatever, but ya know... i appreciate and love natural beauty so much... and when guys do this... it stops them from cheating, because they fall in love with the inner natural beauty...

but yah, different matters for different families... or is it different livings of different colors? oh now i got it... different strokes for different folks...

Hey fellow member, the idea of not supporting a thread, involves not posting in it. See, when you post in a thread, it bumps it. Just thought I'd let you know.

So will you be unrooting?

Oh... and if there isn't a exploitation for 2.1? Not all software is easily exploited. That could of been the long wait. Thanks for your thoughts though, you seem to be enthralled with your phone being rooted.

I will wait it out. Learned my lesson with the Iphone. Had it jailbroke, did a needed apple update which in turn lost the jailbreaking. Then had to wait several weeks to get all my enhancements back. Can take a little while for someone to hack the update. So....I am waiting it out unless something amazing comes out of it.

If I'm not mistaken (and I very well may be since I'm not at all familiar with Linux - so somebody correct me if I'm wrong), it doesn't necessarily need an exploit. Devs can go in and change user permissions with a complete system dump, then build off of that. I believe that's how the Nook was rooted - they found the SD card that contained the kernel, connected it to a computer, changed the permissions, put it back, and boom, rooted.

I'm not too sure. But I'm sure they can fix it so it won't happen. But if a simple dump was needed, would it still be called a "root"?

You still need that initial exploit to be able to DO anything. Without it, you don't have the necessary read/write permissions.

 

[Where'sMyCoffe?]

Exactly, as I thought.

I think I'll wait for the 2.1 OTA, then root and OC..... if another update comes out, I'll hold tight until that next update gets released root to backup to.

I like to get my toys running top notch and then update only when its a step up.... too much work to tear down and back up and tear down and back up.

 

[sherrywilson44]

Very tough decision but I did go back to stock. I'm kind of glad I did the whole rooting process was a little to stressful for a noob like me! Was a good experience though.

 

[droidkm]

this thread puzzles me. i've been waiting to root, and think i might right now before 2.1 hits. that way i can take advantage of the root features until 2.1 roots are good to go, + 2.1 probably doesn't have (unless there's more info i've missed) animated wallpapers which is basically all i was waiting for. am i missing something here?
