So Droid users want 2.1, but instead get mega fails

I have a droid, and I have been rooted for a WHILE. Got it back in November and I think I rooted it in December. Now a lot of you wonder why I started this way. Well root can give you 2.1. Let me back pedal a little….

When the Droid came out it had 2.0 software, first phone to get it. Then after a month or so of owning it, Motorola/Verizon pushed version 2.0.1 to our phones, it added some cool features. But now we Droid owners have been waiting for an update to 2.1 and twice it has been stated that it will come at the end of the week and twice we have been mislead, or maybe even lied to? Either way, the first statement I made stated that you can have 2.1 through root. If you follow these steps  you will be able to root and flash custom roms that run various versions of 2.1

(mind you, I am not nor is the staff of this site responsible if you mess up, there are communities that can help you and odds are that you won’t brick the Droid, HOWEVER, if it happens, we can not be held responsible or be asked to fix it.)

Follow this link and it will guide you to a forum that has everything you will need to know about root and how to do it. I learned from there and I have been root for months. This will tell you EVERYTHING.

Some of the benefits I have seen from being root are custom roms, the screenshots I have taken for this site are because I am root, I have over clocked my droid and made it twice as fast. I have added features you can’t get on 2.0.1. I have upgraded my firmware before its actually available and plenty more so check this out if you are sick of waiting for Verizon/Motorola to get it done.

I am 25, married and interested in web development and design! I have a droid and am webmaster of http://scribblepeople.net I am a nintendo fan, but i have other consoles and i see the value in them. I do have a twitter follow me, http://twitter.com/mcorbett26.
