I have rc30 and root!

[MrGibbage]

That's the weird thing. No, most programs do not run as root. I just ran a ps and I see users named media, bluetooth, root, compass, system, wifi, app_8, app_11, app_24, app_## (insert number there), and a whole bunch more.

I did my update mine today when i got the message on my phone i did not think it would matter much? im sure lots of people did the update without root so i hopes some smart person will figure a way arounds this in the future. just finished putting bodyguard on my G1 lots of fun that was.

I'm sure someone will figure out another root exploit...I put on the invisible shield...wow tha took some time and patience...

newbie is jumping in the water. hopefully i wont drown and wash ashore. i assume that the updated rc30 which is to be placed on the sd card is to stay in zip format

update.zip

also is there link for definitions and explanations for terms such as terminal emulator which is mentioned on the last page?

so i now have only two files on my sd card no sub folders or higher up folders correct. in other words nothing labled "moblie" or " dcim"

simply have the following on my sd card

update.zip

recovery.img

correct. ??

got through it to the point of flashing the new rc30.. but hen came up that cannot find file update.zip

not sure but checking to see.. maybe i have usb debug on.. would that be an issue. posting here for answers and for others who might have made this mistake so we can post solutions..

[Skatturbrain]

I thought the debug function needed to be on?

[MrGibbage]

Yeah, make sure you are not connected to your computer when you reboot your phone.
