O YA!

I will never understand people who complain about why it took so long to figure something out with a phone. What is with the strong sense of entitlement?

Don't like the speed the root happened at? Figure it out yourself then.

So what does this mean?

This is great but, umm, yeah it took 5 long weeks. You might want to argue this but despite any argument, as was stated, talks of rooting the Droid had arose before it even hit the stores. Why did it take so long? I mean I know it was not the easiest thing to do but it just amaze me that there weren't a group of people sitting there with like 5 droids and 5 computers, trying to figure out a way to root it ASAP.

These are the sort of comments that seem to be baseless and clutter the interweb these days.

What was your contribution to this? I find this astounding considering that it took only 5 weeks. I am going to take your post as someone who needed som attention today. I only ask that now that you have received your attention can we focus on the positive. "It took only 5 short weeks".

I have updated and rooted my droid. I used a combo file that can be downloaded directly to the phone and then you need to do the recovery console. This file updates and roots the phone at the same time.

is there a recovery zip for if you choose to un-root the droid? or do you just re install the update?

Thats a good question, if we root the phone can we unroot the phone?

1st off a special "THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK " to the Person or Team of Persons that accomplished this amazing feat is such short time. Your time and concern are (or will be) appreciated by Most All Droid Users. 2nd....I think I will wait to attack the whole "Root" idea for sadly to say I fall into the -or will be- category of Droid users . The Moto Droid is my 1st droid phone and I haven't quite been able to do the research on how it works like I was able to with my Blackberries (had them for 3 years) . So for me time will tell......

Thanks Again,
Hank

So where do I find this file or program to be able to root my phone?
