I have froyo from the leak and cant seem to find a way to root. any suggestions? will the one click root work for me?
No. Not on my laptop at the moment but there is a YouTube video that shows you how. Search YouTube for root froyo 2.2. I'll give a link tomorrow if you have not figured it out.

Hi, I rooted 2.2 with help z4root from market.
^^ well z4root isnt on the market anymore. i have it on my sd card but my phone keeps saying it cant download apps that are not from the market. how do i bypass?
I found z4root here at xda, just do a search. You will also need Droid Explorer and Sideload Wonder Machine may be useful as well. Here is the video I was talking about:

Hey guys, got my phone replaced WOOT.
first thing i did was go home and update to the leaked froyo 2.2
i went to the market to install the oneclick lagfix but it said that the root that it includes doesnt work with 2.2 and i would have to find another method. could anyone point me to the easiest and safest method to root. im looking for a method where its easy to root and unroot if needed.
i looked on google and youtube and found this link related to 2.2 root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797397
that honestly seems a bit too complicated to me.. (im stupid i know).
would the one click root/unroot work for me? it says its only been tested on 2.1 so i wasnt sure.
thanks guys! DDD

I finally got sick of the bloat and rooted it. I used The tutorial from here:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/26/universal-android-rooting-procedure-rage-method/
In the tutorial download file I substituted with the new version of the superuser.apk and su from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
All you need to do is substitute the superuser.apk(system/app) and su(system/bin) the rest of the folders/files are not needed. This method worked 1st try, you just have to be very cautious and type everything exact.
Thought I would share for those that like to do things manually Now on to de-bloating, anyone know of a good list of apps that are safe to remove? So far i just got rid of cityid and infoalarm.apk(daily briefing).
Or you could install z4Root from the Market...
This is true but I like to know whats going on under the hood.

Yeah, that happens sometimes. I don't know why. That's one reason that I like SOC better. That and I can see what's going on.
Question. If/when I Jack up my phone, and it needs to go in, is there a way to restore the Mez to it's original bloated glory? Thanks in advance

You can tether without rooting with the stock wireless modem app unless you just don't want to use that one. Saving apps to the sdcard won't come until Q1 2011 with the 2.2 update.

Since you are in the Rooting the Mesmerize thread, have you gotten the phone rooted? Next, if so have you gotten Clockworkmod installed correctly? That is in a different thread?
Just trying to get background info to know where to start the help. I definitely don't mind helping.

Don't you have to pay an extra $25/month to use the stock wireless modem app?

You're supposed to, however. I have talked to several us cellular employees and they cannot tell if you use it or not. If you go over your 5 gigs, they'll assume and charge you. I've been using it and have not had anything said to me.

I ended up using a different app to unlock my vibrant. I did it all through the phone, without having to connect it to my pc. It took few minutes. Anyway, thanks for the response. BTW: im not feeling the pink on your car lol

what did you use? an update.zip file into the clockwork recovery / rom manager?
I am new to this. I have a stock Inspire, I haven' t done anything more than install apps from the regular market. I would like to know, is there any way that I could get a non-market app without doing anything to my phone. I was trying to get the SWYPE beta, but I couldn't because it was blocked.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Check the development section. There's a way to sideload apps. It's one of the stickies.

UPDATE: I downloaded the latest version software and it works!!
Is anybody working on a root for the EVO SHIFT 4g, I mean as in running Gingerbread? Temp Root solution at least???? I'm slowly dying ever since I mistakenly updated.
I sure hope so. I did the same thing.
If you need tethering, just use PDAnet. Works well and it is free.
