Maybe, but if you have too much information other people get confused, so why risk confusing the 50% of users who don't need the extra information that 2% require?
@skylordusa1
How long is long? If it was less than 15 minutes then you didn't wait long enough. That update takes a long time to gel the first time if you didn't do the wipe.
Glad to help.
Or do a factory reset and flash on the FRG01B SBF. That'll put it to stock for sure - and you'll have pretty much an empty, new phone.
These instructions will root any Droid 1. Period.
Yes, but your first question says you were going to unroot and wanted to know if this would then root you -- which it will. If you're not going to unroot, then you don't need this.
What I was getting at was that even if you didn't catch the boot -- keep on rolling and we'll see if it mattered in a bit.
Thanks for helping me make it more clear.
That's cool. I was just wondering if it was a subliminal promotion for the wifi-tether app.the W on my keyboard was not working so I copied a w from somewhere and pasted it everytime i wanted to type a W, that W just must have linked to that page. My apologies. In other news I fixed the W key(
He and the other poster aren't really talking about this guide. They are talking about sbf_flash which is a Linux tool you can use to do flashes in place of RSD Lite (which of course won't run on Linux). I just built a shiny new Ubuntu laptop the other day and should be running sbf_flash on it sometime this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes.Maybe, but if you have too much information other people get confused, so why risk confusing the 50% of users who don't need the extra information that 2% require?
However, if the post is missing information that it needs, like a command or two, please point it out to the guide writer and it will be added post haste.
Thanks for pointing it out -- I'm sure MotoCache will want to add that ASAP.
Yikes, so you're saying that sbf_flash killed your USB and Wifi? Wow.
I will say that I have used sbf_flash before, but not with Motocache's method.
For the record, how did you restore from a Nandroid backup? I was under the impression that you need root to even make a Nandroid backup, and if you already have root then you have no need for this method. I'm asking because if I want to try this on my recently stock, unrooted device, I'd obviously like to make a Nandroid backup first
