Flipz made this build just for this very issue. u must wipe data and dalvic cache before flashing it though, as u should do with any custom rom before flashing it. anyhow once u have finished the root process i would suggest flashing the rom below or any other custom rom on the forum. this will get u back to stock goodness and still keep u with root.

STOCK BUILD ROOTED

Warning: That build is fixing the Market issues but is breaking 4G.
4G will connect fine with Toast's ROM but it wont connect at all with the stock rooted ROM for some reason.

faaaackk. I thought I was ready....

Also, can someone explain what fastboot is and if we use it in this process.

Has anyone gotten QuickBoot working. I'm assuming that it is missing the same reboot file that you usually have to push to /system/bin.

Quoting again so that those in the know-know what to do.

Thanks for the heads up.

I was thinking to root, but I'll wait for the weekend to end, I'm heading out to a 4G area and want to test it out.

The Laker game is on...so yes...I'm drunk...but no...I didn't flash Froyo...and when I flashed the 2.1 stock earlier...I WAS NOT DRUNK...so feel free to think that my post count accounts for my noobishness...whatever makes you happy! GO LAKERS!

Mac OSX help

---

I know this may be an extremely dumb question but i looked everywhere and no answer. Is it possible to use mac osx to root? i read the windows cmd prompt was needed.

You only have to copy that .zip file to the SD card then flash it in order to root. As far as accessing recovery... Well, I'm not sure on that one.
