if someone is in dire need, I can probably link to a file somehow...

or if someone can host, I'd be glad to email you a guide and all the necessary files, I keep a detailed repository.

I have had my droid since launch day and have been thinking about rooting for a while now. I would like to use DroidMod. I have watched the DroidMod videos from droid-life.com, but I would like to install the newest version of ultimate droid.

From what part of the process with DroidMod can I flash ultimate droid? I also have not really been kept in the loop about all of the newest programs like the ROM manager, and other programs which make installing a ROM and updating it easy. Does anyone have a link to where I can find all the essentials for this?

Thanks for your help.

Whats the verdict Aiesline? Did you get your phone rooted?

Read Matth3w's how-to. I followed it having never rooted the phone before and everything worked perfectly: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ha...-phone-2-1-rom-o-c-mm-boot-animation-etc.html

If you want to do it manually use matth3w's (thats what I used my first time but it takes awhile since theres like 100 steps) if you want a quick way to root/mod your phone use DMupdater, it rooted my phone for me in like 5 minutes. As for installing roms Rom Manager is one of the best.

 

[Aiesline]

Not yet. Life kinda got in the way today. Gonna try to sit down and do the research again tomorrow. Heck may give it a go tonight.

Well whenever you decide to proceed take your time and you'll be fine. I'll look for your posts tomorrow.

+1 for matth3ws guide - best ive seen

 

[Aiesline]

Thanks. Reading through math3w's howto guide now. Still not sure of which rom is the most recent. His guide seems to explain why you are doing what you are doing and I like that. I'm a real big "but WHY" kind of girl.

This thread was very helpful to me, because it gave a video description to follow along with while rooting my Droid with DroidMod 1.0 (DroidMod Updater): "Seen some Questions Here is a video of DroidMod", by PilotCharles. You can find it in the Hacking FAQs, or do an advanced search for thread titles. After that, the only thing I needed to do was SetCPU, which I downloaded from the market, and read about in a thread search. I have refrained from downloading more recent mods, and am awaiting the next update of DroidMod after the Verizon update 2.1.
