It must be bad news. Well I have the super users permission ninja now, but I can't get any roms. I've downloaded that DM Uploader and that's where everything stopped. I'm crushed. Once I downloaded DMU it automatically said I needed to upgrade to 1.1. There was no other choice. Now that doesn't work. It keeps asking me to check a permissions block that never appeared on the phone. I have done a few things searching around on this site and all the recommended ones also. Still no way to fix this? I would've loved to just do the ROM Flash with the sp recovery but the jay rummy links were bad and simply stunning wouldn't load into my droid. CAN ANYONE OUT THERE HELP? Is there a way to get back to stock 2.1 so I can try the SP Recovery thing again? Am I just wasting my time with the whole thing? I'm not an engineer so any help would be appreciated….especially if it works.

I repeat, the NINJA is in the building!” So what next?

As of now I am having nothing but troubles. I've tried the SPflash recovery ROM addition…it didn't work, and now I'm having problems rooting my droid the old fashioned way. I've typed everything into my computer exactly as it says in this post, but at the cmd prompt it just says it can't find these files. What next? I gotta believe that rooting my phone is worth all this hassle! The Verizon wireless site is down now too and I cant even reactivate my phone. :-( Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm going to bed. I hope someone can finally set me straight on this process.
goodnight all!
