Well, 2.2 stock doesn't look like it will be rooted anytime soon. So why wait, this process really isn't that hard. All its doing is taking you back to fully stock 2.1 then you can root your phone, then flash a rooted 2.2rom. The process literally takes maybe 20 to 30 minutes, thats it and believe me when I say I am an android n00b.

Don't see why it would make a difference, all this hack is allowing you to do is go back to fully stock 2.1. After that you can root with whatever method you want, so flashing kernals after the fact shouldn't be an issue.

Im rooted, im rooted... But what a tedious task. You definitely have to pay close attention to instructions and use a bit of common sense as well as some things were not fully explained.

ok so, does this procedure get you back to 2.1 and if so at what point. I seem to remember the video making note of this being a ROOTED 2.2. if this is the case, can I flash a Sprint EVO Shipped ROM to get to pre-FROYO OTA update ????

Its two videos, the first one shows you how to get back to stock 2.1, there is no other way to downgrade other that what is in that video. The second video shows you how to root the phone and get you back to a rooted 2.2 or custom rom.

hey gang, check this video walkthru of how to Root 2.2 with unrevoked forever and at the same time get back to using a 2.1 ROM. is this a full Root & how is it that rooting 2.2 will allow you to flash a 2.1 ROM, sorry for the noob questions, I just moved over from WINMO 6.5
