[HACKS] Root Droid 1 - regardless of OS version

[bplewis24]

Did it have a full charge when you flashed the files? Try letting it charge for a while and see what happens.

So you're trying to get back to stock now?

This site has some stock sbf files: Peter Alfonso

What sbf file did you use originally? Sounds like you tried to use a 2.1 recovery sbf. You need to sbf with a fullfile. See my 2 previous posts for help.

OGMotodroid didn't even wait around very long. He has posted this across the forum in three different places without the needed details and then left:

I'll answer in this one above

Guaranteed the exact file used was SPRecovery_ESE81.sbf.

Can't get sdcard

I've read through all the steps and I get to the recovery screen but I am not able to get to the sdcard to install update.zip. Everything else up to that step goes well. I've reseated sdcard, i go into recovery only after I disconnect the cable and still no joy. Any ideas?

 

[guidot]

What do you mean?

When you allow update.zip and install update.zip what happens?

Error code, message, what?

More info please.

I don't have access to the sdcard so it errors saying that it can't mount. Since it can't mount the card, it won't let me get to the file.

 

[guidot]

Have you tried manually mounting and unmounting in the menu in recovery?

Finding Update Package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted

I tried to mount sdcard from menu. It says the card is mounted but I get the same error when I go back to the install menu.

 

[bplewis24]

Would he get that type of error if he was in the stock recovery instead of SPR?

[teddyearp]

If I remember correctly, in SPRecovery if it says the sdcard is mounted, that means it is mounted as USB storage. Therefore it will not be available to the recovery nor the phone's OS. Go back in SPRecovery and unmount your sdcard and try again.

good luck

Solved I think

This was kinda convoluted but it seemed to work. I got root access using SuperOneClick, installed ROM manager and was able to run the update.zip using the Clockwork recovery menu. Nothing else worked as far as trying to mount/umount etc...
