DROID Switching bootup ICONS

[dlwhtrose]

Unfortunately those "one click" processes cause a lot of issues later on. I do not recommend anyone use the "one click" process or easy root. I have seen too many problems with both.

There is a link in my signature that is a step-by-step guide to rooting. Its all free and like I said within about an hour you will be re-rooted with SPRecovery then from there you can either stick with SPR or get ROM Manager (both free and paid) and flash Clockwork Mod. then you are off and running and will be able to do either a rom or a theme or both.....

This will work as well

dlwhtrose; First off thanks for all your help, it was much appreciated. I finally figured out how to restore from my backup that I had made before, and I am back to where I was. I got past the Moto screen and to the home Menu with the Glass Theme that I installed before without the Marketplace. Could you help me find the files that you were previously looking for before I screwed it up again? I just need to get the Marketplace back. Thanks!

D/L the file, move to any folder on sdcard, then in Rom Manager, "install Rom from SD Card" and select the file. no wipe.

Alright, it's downloading now... What does this do exactly?

First and foremost -- always make a backup before you make and changes to the operating system (installing a new rom or theme).

In RM you have two options
Download using RM or download to your computer then copy to your phone and update with RM.

Hope this is helpful.

Since you do not have the full ROM Manager you may not be able to install through there. So, download the file to your computer (put it on your desktop so that it is easy to find). Mount your droid, drag and drop the file onto the root of your sd card (not in any folder) DO NOT UNZIP IT OR RENAME IT. Unmount your droid from the computer. Boot into recovery (x key and power key). Then choose "install from sd card", locate the file you want and select it. Once its done installing, reboot.

What you are installing are the google apps. ONce you are rebooted you should see the market and be able to get the paid version of ROM manager, plus any other apps you want.

I have free Rom Manager and I can install from sd thru RM.

Sometimes you can and sometimes you can't. RM is really finicky.
