OK, so from my understanding, we use ROM MANAGER. But since it uses stock recovery can't we just rename files, put them into cache, protect root, temp. unroot, and boot into recovery and apply update from sdcard???? or does ROM MANAGER use a different type of booting into recovery? IDK just my views, lol. I will gladly test out this method when I get my MAXX in the mail tomorrow. Unless it is proven not to work beforehand...

No. Different trigger.

2) Yes. You must remove them from your system. Not the apps, but the backround services they provide. So since i use bootstrap and even though i have a clean stock rooted 173, i still must rsd back again to 173? That will positively get rid of all traces of bootstrap?

pretty much

I'm using ES file explorer and I checked the root button and the system writable button. Exited the program and went back in.

In es file explorer settings, click "Up to Root". Then from the menu bar, click the "Up" icon

Oh so i just realized i have to download the torrent from my computer via utorrent then move it to my phone...then proceed. Right?

Unless you have a torrent client for your phone, which there are a few of out there.

What if my root has no cache folder?

ES doesn't default to root like Root Explorer, there are toggles in the settings.

Well the root directory. There was an actual root folder in there. And yeah I'm gonna go drink now haha.

Wait what does seeding do...I usually skip that process and everything will work fine. Is it important??

[money mike]

any ideas if rootkeeper isnt restoring root?

That's called leeching. Seeding is uploading the file to the other people that are downloading so that the torrent doesn't die down. If you have 0 people seeding, nobody can download.

No. Different trigger.

Figured. So, I keep seeing people talking about losing root. Is there a way to temp. unroot THEN use ROM manager??? I think that is why people keep losing root...

Oh...now I feel like a mooch, lol. I guess i will let it seed for now on.

so... if I fastbooted back to stock 173 for the soak and now could not care less about 181... do I need to do a data wipe first? Or since my system is unmodified except for root can i just apply it using the ES file manager / ROM mgr method?

Either way I'm probably going to try it lol
