Yeah delete those files too. You won't need them right now and can confuse you when you do need to use an update.zip

Rescue Squad you have a crapload of patience. I wish i knew about you guys when i was flashing an sbf to fix my phone, it scared the crap out of me because that is the final step before doom. :icon_eek:
Bpad and haythem...thanks for the kind words. We all appreciate it.
yeah I'm def glad these guys are here. You all def have made me more confident so instead of tryin the dmupdater mod 1.0 I'm ded going to try to install the new bb v 9. I am still not sure whther I'm going to root manaully or use the updater because I'm not sure if the problem I had came from the root I did or just a problem with installing the new rom but I know sprecovery was working that why I was going to go ahead and use the updater again because if sprecovery worked and I had the ninja icon then I would figure the root did work. Any opinions on which way and why the mod messed up 3 times I did notice there are 3 files in my nandroid folder now due to backing up 3 time before doing it maybe that's why it loaded then froze the 2nd time
I'm not totally sure what happened. Could have been a corrupt file that kept getting reused. I think you're good to use dmupdater if you want. Like you said root worked and sprecovery worked so that wasn't the issue. And if you run dmupdater again it will redownload all that so it is a fresh start. If you go for BB v9 you will have to use the nandroid option. And pete says to wipe data and cache twice before doing the restore, important step don't forget it. But do a backup before you wipe anything. I ran bb v9 for a little and it is pretty fast. I think you'll like it. Let us know how it goes or any more questions.
Ok one more thing. So i finally had some time did some more reading and i rooted again. Everthing wwnt smooth ninja guy is there but i was wondering ok so i used the dmupdater and it basically applied an update.zip file to my phone. Did this process also install sprecovery and if it did i just go in and create a backup n i can name that backup anythin and it will go into my nandroid folder or do i need to create a new nandroid folder before backing up
You shouldn't need to create a folder, and it should have flashed sprecovery for you. To check open dmupdater and tell me what it says
Yeah it didnt install sprecovery it says u need to update flash allow or deny su...system/bin/sh i believe or its something very close now i just watched the video again and it says do this but u hen select whixh rom to install meanin the droidmod 1.0 or stock (no root) then restart in sprecovery automatically then im guessing installs sprecovery backs up n installs rom at same time.is there a way to just install the recovery then skip installing rom because it seems like they made that one process instead of 2. Maybe i need to install sp recovery manually also

Allow it to update recovery. Flashing the rom is a seperate process so you can just root and get sprecovery then install whatever rom you want.
