[Release] Stock 2.1 ESE81 & ESE81 Deodexed backups

Greatly appreciated but I have 2 questions.. (well one question of a sort and one direct question)

1. Is Boot partition stock or nandroid? (I ask as you have the system using a nandroid backup and already rooted so one would think...)

2. Wouldnt these be a bit more beneficial if they were setup so update formatting would work? In that way IF either were using a stock boot/recovery you could simply migrate between them with no issues.

My 2 cents

 

I misspoke myself.. if recovery isn't included the it wouldn't be 'stock' since you would be using a modified recovery application that will remain after processing would it... what I meant by update formatting was using it as an update.zip. Perhaps its my perception but stock would be rooted and including recovery 'stock' so that once you install you could flip between the two without the middle step of needing sprecovery or nandroid. Its 5 am here so I think I'll shut up...

The middle "step" of sprecovery is because it has root.

Any rom with root, you're going to wan't either sprecovery or clockwork recovery, because there is a chance that you will damage your phone, and without an advanced aftermarked recovery you're going to have a hard time fixing any problems caused by modifying files in root.

For instance, once you have root you can modify system files, this would be like modifying files in your system32 folder in windows, if you screw the wrong ones up, windows wont boot, and having a recovery like sprecovery is like having a windows DISC. No matter how much you screw up those folders, you can always just stick the windows disc in and start from scratch again.

:]
moral of the story
having sprecovery is ALWAYS a good idea when you have root.

 

Gotcha. Thanks for the time, effort & clarification.

Thanks once again for the Deodexed ROM. I finally have the white text for clock, carrier and date on my ROM which made it perfect for me. I made a nice hybrid HTC Incredible - Droid theme and it is just about perfect now.

 

just thought I'd post and say thanks for this.. i'm a root-noob and i decided to root my droid just for superuser access (for a particular app that looked worth it.. autokiller is the one i think). I was pretty daunted by some of the different how-toos but i tried this one and it worked like a charm! I'm very pleased and yes, the app seems worth it.. I'll probably start checking out some other roms in the near future but this was very helpful for getting my feet wet

 

Bit out of the loop. Running a 2.0.1 mod at the moment (UltimateDroid 9) and wanting to get up to 2.1 today. Can I use this to get there, or do I need to go back to stock, get the OTA, re-root and then use this?

Thanks.

 

I believe you will need to get back to Stock 2.0.1 then do an OTA upgrade to 2.1 or use the 2.1 update.zip and then flash this. If you are looking for a nice clean 2.1 package to modify yourself then this is it.
