Best way to root on 2.2.1

hi guys
Been looking for a easy way to root a nexus 1 on 2.2.1 (FRG83D)
Dont care about the boot loader as i have already unlocked that.
What is the easiest/best way to root it as i understand that 1 click root no longer works.
Any help would be great

As your bootloader is unlocked just flash a custom recovery, then use that to install the SU binaries.
Can't fail.

If the above isn't enough - read my signature and look there for answers.

Where did you read this?
I'm curious since I used 1 click root (SuperOneClick) on 2.2.1 just a few days ago
So where did you hear that you can't use 1 click root?

so give me ur msn or aim and Ill add you and you tell me how to do =D

Well the first question is... Were you rooted before receiving update? Is your phone S=off, what bootloader version do you have?
Quick answer to if you werent rooted before OTA, then no root is available at this time.

No wipe root methods?

Is anyone working on other root methods? I'd really like to root without having to wipe my phone if at all possible.

Announcing that someone was working on it? I just wanted to know if someone intended on working on it. I know there aren't any methods currently.

Just had to look at the link to know that it's not safe.
EDIT: You should never pay for root, that's probably a scam.

Its the ONLY way to root an LG G3 with a Mac. I've searched XDA Forums and have NO LUCK finding a step by step guide. Another XDA member said I was SOL because I have a Mac.

I have a mac also, you just need to use bootcamp or any virtualisation software to run windows and you're good to go (it worked for me with bootcamp).

Is there a thread ANYWHERE that provides a step by step? I'll get a refund from MyRootSolution.com and pick up Bootcamp. I have never used Bootcamp before? Do I need to purchase Windows also?

yea....yea.....
I'm not an Apple fan either. Just sick of Windows problems.

Do not buy from this site. It is a ripoff. They advertise a product they don't give you and advertise 24/7 support...WHAT A JOKE...they ignore you. I had to contact my credit card company and have the charge reversed.

I am having the same problem; I am reporting them as fraudulent.
