Can anyone confirm that if u update with a official update, u will be unrooted
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
Absolutely, and you may very well end up in a situation where it will be incredibly hard to get rooted again.

I wouldn't unless you are having problems with the phone or you are going to send it back to art.

I unrooted last week just to see if I could just in case I had to return to AT&T, it wasn't easy, but finally got it to work. I then used the LINUX(built a LINUX: UBUNTU bootable CD) method of rooting again, went flawlessly; no issues at all.
I un-rooted last night booting into Fastboot USB and running the ATT stock ROM given on the HTC website... finished in 5 minutes. Had to fix something un-related, but it was a good test to see if I could un-root.
Then I just used unrevoked3 to root again; no problems.
My device was recently updated to 2.2 froyo using the qdl tool... I now would like to root it, but have no idea on how to. Can someone please point me in the direction on which would be the best way to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What are you planning next? Which baseband are you on now? The version that the qdltool installs is 305 and you should upgrade to 318 if you are staying stock. If you are staying stock get to the version you want then root with SuperOneClick. There are a lot of threads about that.
If you plan on using one of the Streakdroid roms than go to streakdroid.com and read the guides there. If you install one of these it's pre-rooted.

I found z4root to be an easy rooting process for me.
First, thanks so much for the immediate response.
My baseband is 318. I tried oneclick and kept getting the error / failed message.
I do plan to stay stock for a while, but would like to try an unofficial rom sometime in the near future because I have two streaks.

Search the web for z4root app 1.3.0
I've tried superoneclick (all versions)... and z4root, and none of them worked for me at all. )0: Guess I'm stuck with an unrooted device huh?

I had to remove my sd card to get SOC to work with my phone. (baseband 318)
I've tried tht as well, and still no joy. I also have baseband 318.

I was able to have success with superoneclick ver. 1.5.5
Make sure you run the application as admin and usb debugging is checked.
Before you connect to your computer turn off, take battery out, restart.
Start superoneclick as admin, THEN connect to pc.
Goodluck. That is how it worked for me.
Ok, so after I eject the battery and replace it again, do I turn the phone back on at this point, or does it to remain off thru out the process?

Hahah thats what I was asking myself after I rooted my phone lol
Very confused lol. I noticed after updated to the official 2.2 (baseband 318), the network icon at the top now display an "H" instead of 3G... Is this ok, or did I lose my 3G?

The Streaks locked to AT&T never showed when they were connected by HSPA. Unlocked Streaks and the ones running Steve's ROMs do. HSPA is a faster than standard 3G so when you see the H it's a good thing.
Nice! Thanks Marvin!

Does anyone know how to enable emlist or terminal on the streak after it has been rooted? I rooted my streak on 1.6 before using QDl to update it to 2.2 and those apps were automatically enabled. Now that I have rooted it again wjile on 2.2 I don't see terminal or emlist (well emlist is visible but I can't mess around with it)
I was finally able to update to 351 and root with the Gingerbreak apk and now my wifi isn't working. It's also quite buggy as well. Anyone else having this prob? Anything I could do to fix this?

Sometimes a wifi router reboot helps too.
dont root with gingerbreak.apk
root it by installing streakmod recovery
then install the Superuser.zip file
if u dont have it, go over to the Android Development section and find the thread titled
HOW TO ROOT ALL ROMS
Why not gingerbreak?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
gingerbreak is based on a android exploit, it should hopefully get patched since it leaves us vulurnable.
superuser.zip isnt an exploit, it works because the streak allows it by design.
While gingerbreak is easier to use, it probubuly eventually stop working or require fiddling with various versions like SoC.
Ok. Thanks for the info. Btw, my wifi is working again. (0:

The best stable rom till now is streakdroid 1.9.1b7.
be sure to make to do factory reset from first recovery (the one with 4 options , for reset choose option1)
either use streakmod recovery / clockmod recovery. Do clear dalvik cache and clear cache partition after flashing rom .
Ok many thanks, does it look the same as stock 2.2? And does it run faster?

Dude don't post the beta site. When you do that Steve takes it down, and then people who actually contribute to his work can't access it.

Yo Jitin, would you plz remove that link to the Beta's from this thread? much obliged,
I just tried the playdoh rom and love battery life. No glitches so far.
The ss1.2 was great and included su. I used setcpu to back off processor when screen off but it didn't seem to make much difference on battery.
Steve's 1.9.0 is awesome but I had a few glitches with it. Hoping 1.9.1 is the answer when testing finishes.
Yup..
My wa scores with perfmod 1000+

I just flashed to the stable streakdroid 1.9 from the streakdroid site. Seems to be doing well thus far. The real test for me is if the battery life is much better than the stock 2.2.2 ROM that I have been running.
M just telling the best rom til now
Steve has not said that no one should spread his rom or spread his name
It is the best rom that u will also not regret
And is stabl
