Random Bowing Thought...

So, Obama can bow down to any foreign leader, but he can't even bend a knee to place a flower at a US soldier's grave, instead just throwing it down.*

* Back during the campaign, when he and McCain laid flowers down at, I think, the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier on Veteran's Day. Gotta look that up for details.

How To Unroot The Droid2

On a related note, here's how to unroot the Droid2, assuming no custom ROMs, and no deleting of stock bloatware apps:

• open your trusty terminal app (that's the terminal emulator you downloaded)
• you should see a $ symbol, now do the following (type each line exactly as writen after the "-" but do not type what is in the parenthesis)
• su (give a minute to ask for Superuser Permission. If it doesn't ask, go into Superuser Permissions and grant access to your Terminal Emulator and go back and retry this step)
• now you should see a # symbol (after each of the following steps is processed, you will see a #)
• mount -o rw,remount -text3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
• rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
• rm /system/bin/su
• rm /system/bin/busybox
• mount -o ro,remount -text3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
• reboot your phone. Tada, no more root! To prove this, try opening wireless tether or another program needing root access and you will be rejected.

Rooting The Droid2 Without a PC

From droidforums.net:

Download these and copy to root folder of sdcard:

• rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
• su
• Superuser.apk
• Terminal emulator

Enable USB debugging: Settiings -> applications -> development -> USB debugging

Open terminal emulator and....

• cd /tmp
• cp /sdcard/rage*.bin /tmp/
• chmod 777 rage*.bin
• ./rage*.bin

Wait for about 5 minutes. It may finish and return with a $ prompt.

Hit the Home button, then: Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Running -> Terminal Emulator. Force close terminal emulator.

Return home, then open terminal emulator. (You should have a # prompt. If not, and/or you phone is lagging reboot your phone and start over at "cd /tmp".)

• mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
• cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
• cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
• cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox
• chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
• chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
• mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
• exit

Reboot phone.

Check to see if you have the superuser app in your app drawer. Also open terminal emulator and type the following command: "su"

A window should open prompting you to allow it to have superuser permissions.

You now have root.
