SholesMod Updater 2.0.1 Step by Step (Sticky?)

Ok, went to 2.0.3 and "wiped data" as per R1Lover's instructions and so far, all seems well!
I had to go to the marketplace and install (update) maps, which then prompted me to install the text to voice (free), and it all did the rest by itself. Yee-hah!
:yeahbaby01:
Camera SEEMS to work better...
Thanks R1Lover!!
Thanks HACKU!
Thanks SHOLES wizards!

Thanks for actually listening.... lol no really, you would not believe how many people ask the same question that has been answered 20 times lol

I'm glad I could help, this ROM is baddass and if I didn't have it I would want someone showing it to me too.... so I'm just trying to help people have a kickass phone.

:)
 
Hi R1Lover. I have a thread going on in the hack section. I have uninstalled, rebooted and reistalled the updater several times. Can root be corrupted? Maybe a clean factory reset?
 
First post, hate being a noob but I have a total noob question. This post makes it pretty clear what SholesMod is/does. I've searched but I can't find anything that lays out Bugless Beast in the same way. What, exactly, is Bugless Beast and why would one choose that over this, which sounds pretty freakin' cool? School me.

btw, I get my Droid Tuesday so I haven't had the pleasure of a stock Droid yet, let alone a modded one.

Got a question when u wiped data did it erase all ur contacts, pic and videos or did it only erase the apps? Btw how's the 2.0.3 doin? any problems yet (like the screen freezing)
 
Contacts, pics, videos did NOT get erased. They're still there. It's a mild shock, however, when the phone strats up in the brand new, out-of-the-box mode. No apps, had to relog gmail and youtube info, etc...
Easy, just gave it information as it asked for it.
2.0.3 -- no problems!
 
Downloaded from marketplace this morning, tried running SM update from the app tray and it opens up a black window, which reads:
"Current ROM: ESD56
or.apache.harmony.xml.expatparser$parseexception: At line, 178, column 2: mismatched tag..."

My Droid is already rooted. Not sure what to do at this point. Any thoughts?

Our hosting company has closed our account for using too much bandwidth. We are moving to a new hosting company, and everything should be back up later today.

Mine says
Current ROM: ERD72
Version: 6 (0.0.6)
java.lang.Exception: su: access granted, courtesy of
www.magicanddroidas.com
at info.sholes.camel.updater.SuperUser.checkErr(SuperUser.java:95)

and it goes on and on with many many more. since i have an error thats similar, but not the same message i just wanted to verify that this is related to the same issue with the servers being down?

*Edit*
Maybe this needs a bump to the "0.0.6 not working" forum? i'm very new to the android community, so apologies in advance if this was in the wrong place

Sorry to ask such a noobish question right now I am running 2.0.1. After the update is installed how does one get contacts back etc. I have done backups using backup pro for my contacts and my apps to my sd card do I simply do a restore?. When i did it before I freaked when I lost all my contacts etc. At that point I just restored a backup. I have read up as much as possible and tried to take it slowly. Thanks for any help at all.

I just rooted 10 minutes ago and clocking @ 800. I love the speed. I didn't wipe anything at set up. I will post more as I use the phone.

This is not related. You've rooted using an incompatible root exploit. You need to apply http://downloads.sholes.info/update-root.zip

All your contacts are store in Google Contacts, you you can't lose those. Just add your Google account to the phone, and they will sync back (it may take a few minutes).

You should also be able to install SM without wiping /data, which wont reset your accounts/apps.
