Problem mounting /sdcard
I'm not sure if this has been posted or not, but I had this problem while trying the procedure. I found that for some reason, the 16gig card that came with my droid would not allow me to install the update (the sdcard would not mount). I used an older 2 gig card I had and the process worked perfectly.
Thank you for your guide. It worked great and I'm now rooted.

Question? Can the root files in update.zip be applied using the normal stock recovery and not sprecovery? I know someone that wants to nandroid backup his phone but can't install an SBF file because the USB port has been damaged. But if he can get root he can install ROM manager and get clockwork or sprecovery from that method.
Is this possible?

No, your SD card needs to be formatted. Remove all the data from it, save it to your PC's hard drive, and then format the card using your phone. At that point you can root and copy the data back and nothing should be lost.
If you have another SD card kicking around that'll fit, try using that first.

Is there a way to load sprecovery that doesn't use the USB cable? Has Easy Root been fixed for 2.2 yet?

No and no. Easy Root will never work on FRG22D because the exploit it relied on was closed.
How is your friend charging the phone if the USB port on his phone was damaged? External charger? I'm guessing no insurance, then?

No he has the replacement phone. He is trying to get data off the old one. He can charge the battery with his new phone and move it to his old one to work on it.
How about a bluetooth connection to transfer his data?
I'm having the same issues as this guy. I'm certain that the file is named update.zip. I have noticed that when I go to the mount options and try to mount and then unmount, it won't let me mount. Not sure what's up.
