You root EC05 the same way we've rooted every froyo build. Anything that uses the rageagainstthecage exploit still works. Z4root still does not work.
Do we have to go over this with every update?

I have been searching and searching.
I am currently rooted and want to update to the leaked 2.2 froyo release. I understand it will break the root and that is fine with me. I can not however find out how exactly to do it...
Most update instructions say " Hold up volume while phone boots" I have tried this and nothing happens. If I try to install update.zip though clockwork, it always fails even if I clean and wipe...davlik too!
Any help would be greatly appreciated,....I need some FROYO!
go get the rooted update netarchy put out and flash it just like you would any rom. you even get to keep root.
And lose wifi tether.

Are you guys confirming that the 2.2 update does remove your root access like the previous updates? Somehow that seems very unlikely......
If you do an OTA update to get the stock 2.2, you WILL loose root. Confirmed.
I have 2.1. What method can I use to root 2.1 and keep it.

Thanks, now that I've done that I think my Dx feels warmer and battery is dieing a little faster? Could this be?
I was originally worried about updating to 2.2 because I thought it may have not so good battery life. Now not sure if I should just unroot and update to 2.2?
Advice appreciated.

There is an even easier method if you haven't already rooted and you are still on 2.1. It is called "UniversalAndroot" and I used it when I was on 2.1. It is so easy. No computer necessary. Just download the .apk to your phone and then install and run it. It is just an app. You can choose...
Temporary root until reset.
Root.
Unroot.
I can't remember the exact wording of the above- but it it very easy. I was a little nervous- so I did the temporary for a day. Rooted and reset a couple of times without any problems. So then I just went ahead and rooted.
Here is a link to the file in my public dropbox folder...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7782384/UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta.apk
I encourage you to go ahead and google for information- I am sure you will be able to find the forum that I originally found the information on. I can't find it now.
Hope that helps.
Thanks, I would just like to know why the phone gets so warm/hot when its rooted and when I unrooted it it got cool again. Whatever it was it had to have drained the battery. Now I'm thinking of going to 2.2 ota upgrade. Would you guys recommend this or stay on 2.1?

I would go to 2.2, then re-root.

I have heart A LOT of people complaining about bugs in 2.2. I personally couldn't stand it - 2.2 was out there. And I had to have it. So I am on 2.2. If you do jump to 2.2 ota - do your research. I am not sure if you can keep root with ota. I heard talk about moving "su" from "system/bin" to "system/xbin" and being able to keep root - but I am completely new to android - so I am not sure if that is true.
If you do loose root - UniversalAndroot does not work on 2.2 (unless there has been an update). There are a couple of other methods. This one looks the easiest - but was not available when I rooted - so I cannot say...

This is another method. I used this one. It is not as easy - but it is not that hard. Here is the link for the method I used...

I'm sure this question is posted somewhere on here but I couldn't find it. This is my first post.
A friend of mine has a rooted Droid X with 2.1 right now. He wants to get updated to 2.2 but he doesn't want/need a new ROM or anything like that. The only reason he's rooted is so he can get free wifi hotspot.
What's the easiest/quickest way to get him updated to 2.2 (preferably without having to wipe)?

He can do the 2.2 OTA update, but he'll lose root. Of course, you can find a handful of 2.2 rooting methods on this board, so no biggie.
Best rooting method
Ok. Thanks for the quick response! What's the easiest way to root 2.2? I'm really new to all this (if you can't already tell).

I followed these instructions. Not sure if they're the easiest, but I can confirm that they work. Helped a couple of friends root after OTA with these steps, as well.

Easier
Even easier than that, go check the Droid 2 forum for the 1-click root by DarkOnion and Faceless... the 1 click method works for both the D2 and the DX.

I have rooted and upgraded my Wildfire to 2.2.1 from 2.1, worked fine and still does, but i have lost root.
I have read that i cant use the "unrevoked method" yet to get root back as it wont work with Froyo. Is this true or is it safe to do so.
If I cant use that method then can anyone suggest another way.
Thanks and be gentle as i am new to android.

Hi, if you updated with OTA update (official) or with RUU, you can't root. We have to wait until some depeloper find out the way to root the new HBOOT.
I updated with a file called signed_121810_120233.zip if that helps.
Anyone know about that file, if its official or RUU

I'm downloading it to see if it has the new HBOOT. Give me a minute
EDIT: It doesn't contain the new HBOOT, so you should be able to root. Trying Unrevoked is safe. If you had the new HBOOT, it would hang, but you wouldn't have any problem.
For what I read, you haven't run Unrevoked yet. Do it.
Thank you for your time and effort, i will try it later tonight when i get back home.
Will post and tell you the outcome.
Thanks

You have done this in the same computer you did the time it worked, right? For the HBOOT drivers in windows and all these things.
Looking at the zip you sent me, you should be able to root, but I guess that if you lost root, there is something that made you lose it. :S
If you want to try to get root anyway, try Unrevoked in Ubuntu. If not, Superoneclick, or Z4root.
But doesn't look good to root by now... :S
Yeah the exact same pc that i first used to go from 2.1 to 2.2.
Is Z4 safe to use

Yes, the worst thing that can happen is that the phone is slow until you reboot, if it can't get root. But htese methods are Temp root. It would be just to see if you can get root access, which I doubt at the moment.
Thanks for your help, i think i will just wait until unrevoked gets updated.

That's what I have to do, I'm in a similar situation for stupidly installing Froyo RUU...

Of course. I just tried with v3.31, which must be the version you tried. I got your same error.
I will let you know. It must be near, because in v3.3 changelog they say "No update for Wildfire yet, sorry", so they are working on it.

Yes here is how i did it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 follow the G2 method, when you get to the part where you put this in # /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.19.531.1 make sure you put the version you want like 1.17.531.2 not 1.19.531.1 I used PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.1 40e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155771_signed renamed it PD15IMG then put it on sdcard
Thanks for that but.... I really would prefer to root w/o downgrading if possible?
I know it can be done but I suspect I'll have to wait until someone does it and shows me how.
I've tried The Unlocker's techniques with worked before but Visionary won't run on Gingerbread, AAMOF it FUBARS the phone and has to be removed to get the phone working correctly again.
