What I don't understand and maybe someone can explain this. You have root access with roms running Froyo, and you update to a yet unrootable Rom with the same stuff. I came to Android from WM and I am learning.

I'm new too.. but I think it boils down to the fact that you have to have once been able to root in order to get a custom recovery image on there (similar to multi-boot OS loader on a computer) and then with that recovery selector, you pick a rom... and those ROMs would have the additional root power baked in. But without that OS loader, you are out of luck. I may be wrong here, but I think that's essentially it. And for those of us who are presently on the unexploited 2.2, we cant modify the recovery image selector. So, we cannot load rooted roms.
