Steve,

Those instructions are instructions you would run in a terminal emulator. "su" I think is the command for superuser permissions, and I'm not sure what the rest of the commands do. All I can tell you is that I tried doing those instructions a couple of different ways, and I couldn't get it to work that way. I haven't used the updated ROM manager (because having used the nandroid option I wrote about, I got back to droidmod and have been content to leave it that way), but my understanding is the new ROM manager (which you can download) has the SPrecovery option, which makes me think it should work for you. I think Kellex has done some video or written tutorials that should help out that you might could look at. Endisky on here also helps people out on chat with a lot of success, so you might want to try to get in touch with him for more help. I'd do more, but it'd be the blind leading the blind if the nandroid thing doesn't work for you. Good luck!

@shooter: then I thank you for the suggestion! I was so happy to get back to droidmod, I didn't know what to do.

I'm having the same problem but i don't know what any of this means. what do you mean by “su” press enter and the other instructions?

I rooted to CM and something obliterated my entire sd card. So, I have no original files. Now, I have RM premium loaded, but all attempts to boot into recovery to get back to Stock 2.0.1 fail. Can anyone help or point me to where I can download the proper files to a new sd card?

I lost everything on my sdcard – something obliterated the whole thing. So, I don't have any of the original files before I rooted. Now, I have RM premium installed and am trying to get back to Stock 2.0.1, all installs from zips fail and it just keeps rebooting into CM. Can anyone help?

This did the trick. It's pretty sketchy though. I use this tool almost daily at Verizon but I was a little less sure of myself using my own laptop.

Yeah, I was kicking myself for going for the “latest and greatest.” Any danger in getting back the way I did?

There is an issue with SPrecovery not recognizing that you are rooted if you have a newer Cyanogenmod installed. Still looking into this.

Hey Guys,

First of all, total noob as will become obvious.

Okay, I modded to Cyanogen 5.0.5.3 following Kellex's videos, worked fine, but had a continual reboot issue that made me want to go back to stock. Nothing seemed to help this issue, plus I wanted to be able to do it for the ever impending elusive update.

When I launched DMUpdater it never gave me an option to download SPRecovery, only Droid 2.01 Stock and DroidMod. When I selected Stock and tried to flash it would stop and give me the Droid/Triangle symbol. Eventually I just went into Clockworkmod (but hitting the power button) and selected Restore Nandroid (or something similar) which it did and I'm back to Stock 2.01 with my emails all synced and all my apps are there! Frankly I'm a bit amazed.

My question is this. Is there any lurking danger in doing it the way I did it. Is there stuff sitting on my phone I should get rid of (meaning, if I root again I want to do it as cleanly as possible)?

Any help appreciated. And once again, yeah, total noob over here.

I also followed this process, much easier, and it worked, kept all my settings (even homescreens) intact. If you have the option, just use the nandroid restore from clockwork recovery.

I'm also having the same problem and the phone is so buggy and slow with Cyanogen, it's unusable.

I'm going to have to go back to my old WM if someone can't help me. I can't restore a backup with nandroid, erasing cache/data has no effect, reinstalling Cyanogen and DM Updater has no effect. Nothing is working in any combination I've thought to try or that's been suggested here. I even tried another update.zip that was supposed to unroot the phone, but that wouldn't install either.

It would be really helpful to get some 1 on 1 help live as I do this. I'm never rooting this phone again.
