Man- I thought people would be on this like white on rice (no offense to white people or people that like rice). But over here and over at xda- not much posting about how the update is going.

From the few of you that appear to have made the jump to 2.2 - how has it gone. Just curious. I am still waiting for my X in the mail.

I've been trying all day to apply this update. No matter what i do (uninstall and reinstall drivers) and even though it shows up everywhere else being fine and connected, i can't get the adb shell to recognize my device. It was previously one click rooted, but even uninstalling an reinstalling everything doesn't seem to work...

Probably need to perfrom a sbf.... follow instructions in post 1

Worked perfectly for me!!! BUT, I used the instructions here and avoided the CMD prompt steps above altogether. Both methods change permissions and move the SU file from the BIN folder to the XBIN folder. The instructions I link to above just seemed easier for me.

Thanks Big for bringing the update to everyone's attention here!!!
