Welcome to MyDroidWorld!!! Try rebooting and see if it works...if not, I would suggest wiping data and cache, then re-flashing the ROM. ;)

Which overclock kernel did you load? Some droids don't handle higher ones very well...I would wipe data and cache, then re-flash the lower kernel. :)

First post updated. ;)

[onecool1929]

Any one in the Sacramento area willing to help put froyo on my droid. I am a tard when it comes to computer stuff.

[durableburrito]

Froyo won't let me install myh apps to sd jusgt says it found no sd certificate. Any thoughts?

[n0m0n]

If I install will this root me if not I assume I cant install the wifi fix? (OC)
Also what would be the method to get back to 2.1?

Will this leave any info behind if I revert back to 2.1 that Verizon can see if I need to repalce the device?

Thanks

[RANDYRKELLY]

I don't understand this at all...the thread you link as the suggested place to start for those with 2.1 who want to root and flash Froyo includes the following post

BBCrackman said:

This guide is for non rooted users who dont want to root. If you want to root we need to do a few other steps to get you rolling. We will have to take you back to 2.0.1 using the RSD light program then load a rooted 2.1 update.zip then we can just use one of the other froyo files for rooted users

I'd appreciate any help you can offer to help clear up my confusion on this.

Thanks

[RANDYRKELLY]

if you are running a stock droid you will need to follow those steps to get root and froyo

What does BBCrackmen mean when he says "This guide is for non rooted users who dont want to root." ?

I'm missing something. Is this at odds with what you and Olta are saying?

I was under the impression that once you went thru the steps, the phone will be rooted at end...but I may be wrong. Let me clarify that and I will get back to you. :)

No problem, please be patient....I wish I still had my Droid to test all those questions for you guys...but I just have to wait to hear from P3. ;)

[jatitzer]

Want to start off saying this rom is awesome, you did some great work. You fixed my google maps problem I was having! I was hoping you have something for google voice, I can't get it to install.

[olta777]

Clarification for everyone: regardless of which way you load Froyo, your Droid WILL BE rooted at end of process. :)

[Cruud]

Google Services appears to be outdated leading to issues with chrometophone and Google Voice. Chrometophone will not register a Droid. Google Voice will not automatically update messages.

[TheFid2]

I'mma stop thread-jacking the other guy's question.

I did a fresh install of froyo

Now, in which order should I apply the following updates: The SPRecovery rooting update, the wifi kernel, and the baseboard kernel.
