Droid 1 rooted and ROM'd

I rooted my OG Droid a long time ago and just realized I hadn't put up a post about it. :/ It was really simple with all the tutorials out there and ROM installs are a snap to install and try out. Here's how I did it:

* Tips: Power button is Page-back in recovery screen, volume is up/down and camera is

1. Rooting - Followed instructions on www.droidforums.net/forum

      Files: MC1_A855_1282081087_Recovery-Only_SPRecovery_0.99.3b.zip

              MotoCache1_Complete_Root_v1.1-update.zip

              sbf_flash (run as sudo)

2. NANDROID - Instructions at www.simplemobilereview.com

1. Boot with X pressed
2. Option 5 is backup/restore
3. Pick one of 4 choices: Simple Nandroid Backup (and Restore), Advanced Nandroid Backup (and Restore)
4. Go back to the main Recovery Mode menu and chose 'reboot system now'
5. Copy the \SD Card\nandroid directory entire to your hard disk or somewhere else safe

3. Titanium Backup

• Must be rooted to use this
• Download from Android Market
• Do initial batch backup of your programs and data

4. Sapphire ROM - Download at Sapphire 1.1.0

Installation is performed using the standard update.zip installation method:

1. Download the update.zip file at the top of this page
2. Reboot your phone into recovery mode
3. MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR PHONE
4. Reset phone to factory default (THIS STEP IS REQUIRED FOR THIS VERSION
5. Push sapphire-1.1.0-update.zip to /sdcard/update.zip
6. Tell your recovery to allow update.zip installation
7. Install from /sdcard/update.zip
8. If you plan on installing a new kernel or theme, simply follow the same steps as above with those zip files.

5. Google Apps - Download at http://sapphire.ccroms.net/wiki/releases/sapphire-1.1.0

   File: sapphire-1.1.0-gapps-update.zip
   - All my apps musta been set to sync because market apps were re-installed!

   - Google took a couple minutes to sync but everything was back on in no time!

6. Different Sapphire theme

   Black Bar theme on http://sapphire.ccroms.net/wiki/releases/sapphire-1.0.0

   Black Bar Theme Download

   - update GEM Setting: change Clock, Date, Ticker Text to #ffffffff (was #ff000000)
