I'm willing to bet that when you guys tried rooting and didn't see apps in the marketplace, you were still on the same rom.
There is a rooted version of the Sprint rom that can be used if you're not interested in using a custom rom, or if you're happy w/ the stock rom.
Basically, rooting the phone w/o flashing a rooted rom (even if you just flash the rooted Sprint rom) will break the Marketplace.

Mystery solved.
Well I will have to try to root again. I installed the OTA and rooting for now doesn't work. After this is resolved I will root and check out the marketplace again. So RX-8 which thread did you get the img file? I want the same as what you got, because the one I used before didn't work.
