How to install: 2.1 the easy way

[Carlos Spicywiener]

anyone having issues, be sure to look inside the unzipped file BCDMRS-20091219-1559, as its a folder inside a folder... thats why it fails when you try to load it

Other than the issue above, installed flawlessly cant wait to play with this build some more... its pretty slick

Ok im at this step (FYI my phone is currently rooted from adding 2.0.1 so Im familiar with how to do it) but not sure what Im doing wrong this time>

Step 4: So by now you should be in the "Android System Recovery" menu. Just hit "update with the update.zip". It will take a little bit maybe a minute or two.

Its not prompting me with update with the update.zip and I have already renamed and copied this file to the root of the sd card. All I see is something along the lines of apply sdcard - update.zip (on this same screens I get an error E:Can't Open /cache/recovery/command) which I tried and it said the the update file was installed successfully but then I dont see the Super User app in the applications. Any idea?

When I have the "Droid Root Helper" open i choose "Mount mtdblock3 System read/write". And a Info box pops up and says "System mounted as read/write". Is that correct? Is that all its supposed to do? Does it the same on the "Mount mtdblock4 System read/write".

Anyone? Great tutorial so far...thanks guys

Ok, it's "apply sdcard:update.zip". That is the update with the update.zip.
Next, the original droidroot.zip used here didn't include the Superuser Permissions app. this link AllDroid.org - View topic - How to Root your Droid<<<ONLY you can get it from the second post there, its a root update with the superuser permission app, or you can download it here http://alldroid.org/download/file.php?id=659

I mounted both and later unmounted both, it works fine on mine. The version the author used must have been an older version of the Droid Root Helper, this one works mostly the same way though.
