Was rooted, did the FRG01B, now lost SPrecovery. No go with RSD lite and windows 7

[Bimmerjo]

I had SPRecovery installed after I did the DMUpdater app. A couple days later I downloaded the FRG01B OTA from another thread (knowing I was going to lose root, But I didn't realize it would kill SPRecovery, So when I try to boot into the stock recovery, I just get the triangle with the exclamation point in it. At first I was like... Well, crap. SO what I did was I download RSDlite and the motorola driver program, tried to follow the steps here.

Well, now my main issue is that RSD lite will not recognize my Motorola Droid. I have tried running it as administrator (right click on the EXE and "run as administrator). I have also went to config at the top and played with the DeviceId options. Phone boots up and operates just fine currently, but I would really like to go back to rooted 2.1... and possibly experiment with some different roms/kernels.

Edit: If this is in the wrong sub-forum I do apologize.

Okay... did a factory reset, now the phone is stuck in a loop, it tells me to activate it, so I do, after I activate it, it asks me to activate it again.... Continually

When you say activate it do you mean sign into your google account or are you actuallay reactivating it?

I'm actually reactivating it. because I did the factory reset on it.

K then the idea I had won't work, but one more thing did you make sure that you installed the right drivers for your system

Okay, jumped on a different computer, followed exact steps in my first link provided to go back to 2.0.1 using RSDlite and my phone still doesn't show up, Is there a certain place the phone needs to be for RSDlite to see it?

Did you boot into the bootloader?

Yes, power while holding the up arrow key on the D-pad. I got 2.0.1 flashed then realized what my biggest problem was... I selected the option to whipe baseband data. I found this thread but I need to figure out how to get to the main screen so I can get into the programming menu. The factory 2.0.1 doesn't have the "skip" buttons on the welcome screen.

 

[Kmart95]

Where are you now? And what are you trying to do?

Well, at first I thought you might be screwed as my information says that any subsequent 'official' (post ESE81) OTA's will change the bootloader and totally close the root loophole. I also thought that your OP was odd where you were thinking that the |!| in the yellow triangle and the stock recovery were two different things. They are not. Anyways:

-With the slide closed, tap the Phone Icon and dial ##7764726 then tap phone icon

-SPC Password is 000000 and tap verify

-select User Activation

-Tap MIN Box and delete existing info and add your MIN *

-Enter MDN as well

-Find SID # and input it here **

-Press Done to save info an return to user activation and then press Home key and phone should reset after programming

* Your MIN or Mobile Identification Number is usually the same as your MDN, or Mobile Directory Number. If these number don't auto-populate on your screen during programing, you can find them by going to your menu, then Settings and Tools, then phone number. Look under "SW/HW Version" and "My Number". You can also find your MEID, or Mobile ID, which you may need in the future for changing phones or updating software.

** The SID # will auto-populate.

After the programming is complete, make an outbound test call by dialing #832. You should also use another phone to make an inbound test call. If the calls fail, try *228 option 1 before repeating manually programing. Hope this helps!
