I am trying to root using flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk and when I do the backup it says backup failed, image is invalid. What do I do? I have rebooted the phone and it still does not work.

I highly recommend manually rooting following the instructions here.

Simply follow steps 1 - 9 and you will be done in no time. Good luck!

All,

I have to my knowledge hopefully rooted my phone. I have not flashed to the 2.1 upgrade, but I can get to the recovery screen and it says now says build 1.6.2. Does this mean I am rooted? If so how exactly do I remove the unwanted apps? So far I have only been able to mount the sd card not the root.

Can you get to the shell as su from a command prompt?

If you want to get rid of apps, try a stable rom, such as DamageControl 2.06 or 2.07.2. I am currenly running 2.07.2 and everyting is working 100%. The only issue I am having is that the Engadget app crashes ocassionally.

Be very cautious removing apps as they may have shared components with Sense programs. You could break lots of things.

Fresh is probably the most stable ROM out there right now, that is until Sptint releases an official 2.1 rom. Then rest assuredbthe cooks will start beating the crap out of that one too!
