No. You cannot flash back to 2.1 unless you had previously rooted and changed the recovery partition. So once again... if you accepted the OTA as it was, it destroyed root and locked you down... and it probably over-wrote the recovery partition... which means even those who were rooted before it were out of business.

Basically, the only way to have survived was to NOT take the OTA but rather to wait for someone to extract the image out of the OTA file... where they then rooted it up (not sure how) and then take the modified OTA image. But.... unless you waited and did it that way... you are out of luck until someone exploits 2.2

It will be a long wait I think. Longer than the wait for FroYo itself.
