Ok.. speculation question..

Can anyone make an educated guess predicated on the pre-release 2.2... on the following..

If I'm NOT rooted, could I flash the 2.2 (official) rooted update when available?

I had a Samsung Moment, and rooting was just that simple.

Thanks
Jeff

Re: Ok.. speculation question..

If you aren't rooted you won't be flashing any rooted roms.

Depending on your situation, assuming you haven't already flashed the OTA that was "leaked" the other day, you should follow a rooting procedure and then be all set to flash the ROOTED version of the update whenever it comes out and someone roots it and puts it up for download.

Just stay away from any OTA updates (unless they are rooted by a chef) or RUU roms. Make sure you know what you are flashing and that it is rooted.

Ok, thanks. I have the 2.1 stock with the latest OTA update. The simple root did not work for me, I tried it on three different computers. I guess I have to do it the old fashioned way!
