DMUpdater to be able to root 2.1 will never happen?

FAQ: When will 2.1 be rooted?

April 8, 2010 Camel 9 comments


Many people have been asking when 2.1 will receive a “proper” root exploit. The answer is probably never. This is not because we believe it is impossible, but is simply due to the fact that the phone already has been rooted. It would be nonsensical for any developer to waste their time working on this when there is already a way to root the phone.
To anyone who is waiting around for DMUpdater to be able to root 2.1: You’re waiting for something that will never come. No one is working on this, and no one will.

I dont know If this was posted already ( sorry If it has ) but this sux.. I was really hopeing Droidmod will come out with 2.1 version.

A 2.1 root would be nice, but there are ways around it, and there is a 2.1 (ESE81) .sbf that has root established.

martin touched on it. If you want to root you must install it yourself.

Martin,

I have not seen the ese81 sbf in the few places that I frequent. Care to expound? And here's hoping you do not link to a thread on this site

I had droidmod b4 and went ahead and donwloaded the OTA 2.1, kind of regret it now.. I dont really wann go through all the steps to go back to 2.0.1 and Dwld droidmod again.. Is there any other Rom I can get that goes with 2.1? man droidmod was so easy to install, im not that great with installing stuff.. Does anybody recomend any other one out there that is not that hard to install? thanks

you have to unroot back to 2.01 using sbf then follow this:

I may have been wrong... it might not be an .sbf.... but it's a stock 2.1 with root

This makes me sad

 

[pc747]

dont be sad, get rooted....lol.

we have the tools here..like nike and tiger woods would say, "just do it"

 

[hookbill]

I kind of gambled that Droidmod would root 2.1. Looks like I was wrong. Oh well, life goes on with 2.1, It's still an awesome phone.

 

[billyidle]

Why does it make you sad? It doesn't change anything other than adding a few steps to those with stock 2.1. And it doesn't have anything to do with future Roms.

In my opinion this was a silly announcement for the DroidMod team, it is only going to turn people away. To their defense though, this doesn't change anything.
