Has anyone tried making a Nandroid and then flashing a stock, rooted, Odex (NOT DEODEXED) ROM to see if it'd work?

+1 next post. When a thread gets to over 100 pages this becomes even more important. Thanks hook.

it is time to part with the droid ... upgraded to a droid 2 global.
many thanks to MotoCache for this thread and thanks to all those that helped out ....
g-nex stock 4.1.1 rooted
First of all, great guide, but I've hit a snag. For some reason, when I go to install the update.zip (successful pass) from the sys recovery, it tells me that it can't mount the SD card. I have tried it about 5 times and no luck. it keeps telling me...
"-- Install form sdcard...
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 have tried the mount USB option in the mount options, but no luck.
I used Windows Explorer to copy the update.zip file to the root of the SD card.
EDIT:
Oh, and I was root, but thanks to Verizon's little gmail update. I'm trying this method
I'm running 2.2.1 FRG83D. I knew, I shouldn't have click the install and reboot button.

That's usually an SD card error. Try reseating it and let us know if you still have the problem.
I think mods are suggesting that we don't go too off topic to this thread so this will be my last post on this topic in this thread -- either PM me or lets start a new thread somewhere if anyone else except you are trying to do this, it's not really in the spirit of the "root any droid version" but I know many who use MotoCache's technique like having an "official" Google ROM with root access which is why I posted it here.
It sounds like you did not do the "Allow update.zip install" option before 'Install update.zip" in SPRecovery?
Success! I can't believe I never thought of that. I used a old, smaller SD card that had else nothing on it. There was so many folders and my stock 16GB and was almost full. I just didn't want to have to worry about it. I finished the root and I have my phone back. Thanks!![]()
Thanks MotoCache1 and everyone else that worked on this guide. It was very good and professional.
I'm new to the forum, so I apologizes if I took it off topic...
It wasn't you they were talking about.
glad you got it working!!
