Part B: UPDATE FROM A ROOTED PHONE (running 2.1):

If you have Koush’s recovery installed, follow these steps BEFORE attempting to update to 2.2:

1. UNINSTALL the Recovery APK in Settings, Applications
2. Reboot
3. Run “adb shell”
4. Run “su”
5. Run “mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system”
6. Run “cp /system/bin/logwrapper.bin /system/bin/logwrapper”
7. Reboot

IF YOU SKIP OR OTHERWISE DO STEP 4 INCORRECTLY, YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY. PAY ATTENTION TO IT AND STEP 5 TO CONFIRM.

1. Run “adb shell” (you need adb setup and working from a command prompt. If you don’t have that, see the ADB support link in Part A)
2. If you don’t see “#”, run “su” (you will see it if you’ve installed and run Koush’s recovery bootstrapper)
3. Run “mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/system /system”
4. Run “cp /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su”
5. Run “ls /system/xbin/su” and make sure the results are `/system/xbin/su` and NOT `/system/xbin/su: No such file or directory`. If you see the later, repeat the previous step.
6. Copy the update.zip to your sdcard (see below for mirrors as they become available. update.zip released to the wild by P3Droid at MyDroidWorld)
7. Run “exit” to drop back to non-su shell.
8. Run “exit” to drop back to your terminal
9. Run “adb reboot recovery” to reboot into recovery mode (Thanks for the reminder Myanth)
10. Run update.zip

To update Superuser.apk (2.3) and su.

1. Download the attached file to your computer to a location you’ll remember (suggested C:\ or ~ for linux users)
2. Open a terminal/prompt and for windows users run “cd c:\” for linux users run “cd ~”
3. Run “adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/”
4. Run “adb shell”
5. Run “su”
6. Run “mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system”
7. Run “cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/”
8. On the phone, open your launcher, locate Superuser, and open it. You will likely be prompted to allow access then update su.

If you have /system/xbin/su and /system/app/Superuser.apk, but cannot use “Superuser” (no prompts from Superuser app, “permission denied” when you try to run “su”), just do the following:

1. Run “adb shell”
2. Run “/system/xbin/su”
3. Watch your screen for Superuser app to prompt for permission and click “allow”
4. Run “mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system”
5. Run “cp /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su”
6. Run “chmod 4755 /system/bin/su”
7. [optional] Run “mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/system /system”
