Those of you that use superoneclick to root just open it with admin right or need to on and off usb debugging? I will try to update it in front page soon along with full guide for flashing to froyo with best stable and smoothness setting

Added on February 2, 2011, 9:46 amIf still afraid, then can use tenfar recovery to make a nandroid backup of your current stock rom. Now you can freely flash to any custom rom as you like tongue.gif Just fyi, current fastest froyo rom are jboogie tmobile and higgsy uk froyo. Uk haptic vibrate issue has been fixed btw

The Bishop just came over with couple of priests like they did every year tongue.gif Was thinking of showing off my defy to them but its just so wrong in front of holy people hehe

Anyway guide for full flash can get from front page. Full clean flash is to make your phone back to its original self without add on apps or rooted. If factory reset/wipe all the settings and apps will be wiped off but the superuser still there so still rooted

Ok maybe more than one process. Emmm actually there's few steps you need to do tongue.gif Yes root with superoneclick and unroot with z4root. But after you unroot, the superuser app is still there even if you do factory reset.

So here's what you need to do. Go download and install root explorer. Get into /system/app and find superuser.apk and delete it. Now use z4root to unroot the phone. Reboot and then uninstall z4root. Walla unroot clean fresh stock rom that will defy through motorola service center checkpoint tongue.gif

REMEMBER to do a nandroid backup on your current stock rom before you flash to froyo or so just in case. The guide in front page still not complete yet. I will do a full step by step guide for safe flashing and rooting soon. Remember to buy me a beer after this tongue.gif Tequila or vodka will do biggrin.gif
