Much simpler guide for rooting (no pc required)

[want a droid]

Flipp you need to wait longer for the progress to complete. That was my problem, but then I did it and waited longer and once it showed the forked part it was complete.

its "cd /tmp" ther is a space between cd and /temp.

np. I had same prob, but after i got SU prem.

lol. I was doing this off an ipod so the spaces were hard to see xD. But this is simple and easy to do.

Just let me know if you have any more trob.

Another big tip is that the file names and whatnot are case sensitive. If it says capital put that.

If I root using this method, can I then use Rom Manager to flash back to stock 2.2 like I did with my Droid 1 before I sent it back?

When do you think you will have that app done?

 

[junebug85]

/tmp $ chmod 777 rage*.bin
chmod: rage*.bin: No such file or directory
/tmp $

all files are in the root of the sdcard. i can not get past here for the life of me.

I dunno what to tell you did you extract all the files to the sdcard's root?

 

[random190user44]

/tmp $ chmod 777 rage*.bin
chmod: rage*.bin: No such file or directory
/tmp $

all files are in the root of the sdcard. i can not get past here for the life of me.

make sure your files are placed on the SD card, and not in any subfolder because that might mess it up.

Does this method still work to gain root access? I tried it twice after receiving the update last night, and I failed to get root both times with this method.
