new and having issues already

[dboone04]

Whats up I've owned my droid for over a year now and decided to explore rooting. Went through everything fine everything seems to be ok except i get an unsuccessful download error when trying to do anything on the market update/download apps. So heres my hello and I hope this is a market issue which is the only related threads I can find...thanks

What process did you use to Root ?

 

[dboone04]

Rooting the Droid 1 - regardless of OS version

One error? Or every time?

 

[dboone04]

every time, I can't get any downloads to work

 

[Abe21599]

does everything else work fine on your phone? like 3G, calling, browser? did you get any errors when doing the rooting process?

 

[dboone04]

everything has worked so far...gmail browsing calling in/out no issues with root everything went so smooth I knew it had to be to good to be true...hahaha

Are you running a Rom?

Try clearing cache and data under, applications>manage applications>all>market

 

[dboone04]

nope literally just rooted and wanted to dl titanium back up before i explored any fun stuff...so I haven't actually got to do anything with root power, just got it done and have been trying to access the market since

 

[dboone04]

magically market started working again...I'm guessing it was same issue as everyone else had, simply market was down in my area. Anyway thanks for the nice welcome and I will be on these forums often so I'm sure we will meet again.

Thanks
Boone

Glad things are working for you. Isn't magic something. I've always wondered how does a thermos know to keep one liquid hot and another cold?

hahaha I love it...I do have a quick question completely off topic hope someone reads this and can point me the right direction here or start a new thread on the discussion but since yesturday i have made several backups flashed to a new rom and kernal. Ok with all that been said I am now on the original froyo frg22d rom and chevy1 medv 1ghz kernal.
**Now for the question, is it possible to put a new rom say chevy1 ss4.7 and restore all apps and data such as call logs icon locations ext... basicly I want to install a new rom and restore my phones data is that possible or do u just simply have to start over like formatting your hd on your pc...? thanks in advance

I know while going from say SS 4.7 to SS 4.8 it would be possible to make a back-up first, wipe data/cache switch ROM's and then within SPR restore only data

Coming from two different ROMs it is possible but could cause some confusion within the O/S, there are also apps that aid in the process of changing ROMs "Titanium Back-up" being one of them

 

[dboone04]

Hey thanks tparker,
I do have titanium back-up and have done a backup of all apps wasn't sure if this was the way to go or not. *just like formatting and installing apps from my raid love it*
Thanks again man
