Nice catch!
What's new in this update?
looks like primarily app update. i looked over the update (it's about 4 mb)
This was spotted earlier today. Looks like some updated gapps

Details on the changes are limited at this point, but it has been reported that it patches the vulnerability that allows Universal Androot to work. Several users with alternative keyboards have reported some issues, but a simple reinstall of the keyboard app appears to resolve all problems

Anyone else seeing this? I rooted using Androot and want to be sure this won't 'break' it....
I'm rooted mine with android universal root, and flashed recovery using clockworkmod but I have the stock rom. Can I update my phone using this zip file?
be careful, the new update kills 3rd party keyboards and also disables pattern and no screen lock options in security.
this update seems to take away more than it adds

None of what you said is true, nice scaremongering.
I have 2 third party keyboards installed and use pattern unlock on FRG83.
It does however break the one click root, you need to get a pre-rooted update.zip and install that really.
how???
how can I update from FRG33 ?
I'm on CM6S with my Nexus, I'm not sure if this update is even worth it now that I've replaced the stock OS.
If it's true that it kills the 1-click-root app then it's not worth updating at all.

then how to root FRG83? can we use FRF91 superboot?

You need to have an unlocked bootloader, or root access.

If bootloader unlocked, then easy, grab this and flash via custom recovery.
If not, then you need to look up the rageagainstthecage exploit.
awesome that flashing via recovery works, so glad I unlock

Correct yourself; this is what you're referring to, and it's not what you're claiming.
i have also read somewhere that it fixes wifi issue also,is that true
I just posted in a thread about 2 min ago on how to do this and for the ones that lost root androot don't work but you can use frf91 superboot from madoco and it works fine.

Anyone tried this? Just curious im already rooted just maily would like it to unroot.

It worked great for me, I rooted with it, tried a few root only apps...then I unrooted with it to see if it works, and it worked...then I rooted again so I can use those root only apps.
worked for me. painless, and quick. total time....less than 5 minutes.

Does this really work and do the rooted apps function? Why does this work and the bootloader has not been cracked? Cunfused....
And now there's this too.
I cant seem to get this to work. I downloaded the file, went and clicked root me and it just sits there. How long does it normally take
If that's all you did, then you need to reread the instructions. I'm sure it clearly states to toggle Bluetooth or wifi. I don't want to burn anyone but in my opinion, if you can't follow instructions maybe you shouldn't be rooting your phone.

will we still be able to use the one click method to root our phones after we have installed OTA update Froyo 2.2 from verizon in September. I have not rooted my X yet because the only thing i need it for is wifi tether and adblocker, i dont really need the custom ROMs. will i still be able to do this once my phone has received the update, if not will they develop a root for phones that have been updated via OTA

You cannot currently root a 2.2 device (unless you upgraded with that update.zip to 2.2 and moved SU), but I m sure that it will come sooner rather than later

Traded the DINC in for the DX and rooted in 2 minutes!!!!!! Kinda miss the DINC, well I miss HTC Sence
does this one click root work for the 2.2? and is there a chance that the fone will not root correctly and not work?
I got my Desire HD and can confirm that VISIONary temp root works.
1: get "VISIONary " from the market
2: Run
3: Leve it ~1min
4: You now have root
This will allow :-
--Backup/Restore From Titanium Backup
--Running apps that requier root access
This Will Not Allow :-
--Editing system / recovery / hboot
We are locked down with the same security as the G2
[UPDATE]
Paul has updated the app now it works much better on the Desire HD. Iv had no issues so far with this updated version
Happy Rooting
p.s. ALL credit goes to PaulOBrien for this awsome APP

Hope so too. I want to/have to edit a couple of files in the system directory..
This temporary root works great (all the root apps will run, expect those that try to modify system files of course and maybe those that also want to run at boot). Everything is installed by this app: su, SuperUser and busybox. Great app!

Guys,
Thanks for the help in fixing my camera issues !!
My next question is, am I still rooted once I updated to 2.2 ?? The Market doesnt seem as extensive as it was when I was rooted on 2.1
I am pretty new at all this stuff, how can you tell if your rooted on 2.2, and if I'm not, how can I properly root it again ??

root and Market are not related. You need to change your phone fingerprint to the Nexus 1 to show all the protected applications again as Google does not recognize the DK28 fingerprint.
However, you need to be rooted to edit the file. See the following thread for the fingerprint. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848778

One way to check is to open up a terminal and type "su"
To get root back, use the one click installer.

Or flash a Tom to get all the apps. If you want to find out if your rooted just download titanium from the market. As soon as you open it it will say asking for root rights.

To tell if you're rooted - install an app like Titanium Backup, which needs root to function properly. If you're not rooted, there won't be access to the market.
For root if you've lost it, your best option may be to install a custom ROM, which are usually pre-rooted. Besides, most custom ROMS are better than what comes stock. Which custom ROM will depend on your needs.
TBH is in the process of right now releasing a leaked Moto build of Gingerbread 2.3.3. As of right now, they have been unable to root it, as all known root methods appear to no longer work. Anyone want to tackle it?
obviously not gonna be easy....if TBH can't do it.. I doubt anyone can
Don't think anything is impossible. They just got the release yesterday. It sometimes takes a collaboration of several devs to get root.
If my download ever finishes I gonna try like hello and throw everything I have at it. Lol.

That will soft-brick the phone and you'll have to SBF from RSDLite. You can't install any other zips directly after installing a ROM or it won't pass the signature verification on reboot.

well the nexus s/one use a method which requires the bootloader to be unlocked in order to obtain root so technically speaking they are the same in this case
so far though i have been reading about a gingerbreak exploit from the same guy who released rageinthecage exploit
maybe if we contacted him he might release gingerbreak so we can have root access

If you remove the Verizon apps, that's less of an opportunity for Verizon to make money off of you. They also talk about security issues, which I can actually see a point to it. After having had my father destroy a computer by deleting system files and registry keys, I believe that root access in the hands of the technologically illiterate could be devastating.
However, that's why they can claim that warranties are voided, because it was something we did to mess it up. Frankly speaking, it's business. They pay people to develop these apps, and the OEMs pay people to make the user interface, which I'm sure is why they like to lock the bootloaders. In other words, companies like to make money, which means they're going to try their hardest to make sure they have every opportunity to.
I posted in the other forum too but maybe I can get some answers here too...
So.. I was on stock 2.3.3 rooted with locked bootloader. Took the OTA without unrooting and now I seem to be on the new 2.3.4 with root. Root checker app confirms it, how do I verify this?

I have the same issue. Called Verizon to see if it was part of the update, they called Sony "who could not tell" but said "if everything is working, dont worry about it."
I had the Verizon 2.3.3 firmare, and rooted with zregRush. Before the OTA I read that it would fail with root, so I unrooted the phone. Started having a couple issues, so minor I do not remember what they were, but ended up using flashtool to reflash the stock image I downloaded. Everything was fine then, my icons were turning green when connected, and all. Then did the OTA, and everything is working but the icons for wifi and 3g never go green. Is there any more word on this? Is there any futher word on zeregRush rooting?
I have the doomloard linux script to to the root process, and I tried to run the commands instead of the script, I found that I was unable to create or pus files to the device, so I tried to use the sdcard, but when running the zregRus program all I get is access denied!

Sorry to quote your whole reply. I'm currently mobile. I have the same greyed out issue and turns out a lot of people are having this issue with 2.3.4 on other phones. Galaxy Nexus for exmaple. They are all using stock like most of us with R800x. My Wifi and 3G do work flawless but its annoying because I can never tell if its lost signal or not.
