This was posted in another thread here, but it needs its own. (if someone beat me to it, please delete).

A .nbh image file has been released that will allow you to downgrade your rc30 phone to rc29 which will re-introduce the root bug. Once there you can follow the steps to get root access, install the modified recovery image and flash JF's rc30 and keep root! The steps can be found in various threads on this forum, and also in my wiki.

To downgrade using this NBH file: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Root_For_RC30
To gain root access: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rooting_Android
To flash the recovery and install modified rc30: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Keeping_Root

Please remember this wiki is made and edited by users, not just me. Some information might not be written as well as it can, and if you find a problem, please feel free to login and correct it.

Good luck to everyone stuck on RC30 who wanted root, its finally here!

By the way, I got this info from disconnects site (gotontheinter.net) and I believe (might be wrong) he got it from here somewhere.

To avoid creating two stickies with overlapping information, I suggest putting a prominent link in the first post to Koush's main sticky on rooting.

Epic Fail

Runs through the update, then:

DREAIMG.nbh - FAIL

Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL


UPDATE:
I had to download the DREAIMG.nbh that was in the zip file, and put that on the sd card. De-bricked, and now my phone is root-enabled.

OMG it worked!!!!!

I wiped out my SD card with it connected to my comp through USB. Then reformatted it to FAT32 (it was FAT), and copied the dream file to my phone. Rebooted with the camera key held, pressed power when it told me to. Then it took less than 10 mins to do its thing and now I am setting up the phone again after its reset.

Woot!

After that go to market and download the telnet app and keep going. And using those walkthroughs I did what they said but I used JK v1.3 instead of 1.2 and now I am a very happy panda, just look at my sig!
