Default can i root 33 with any method?

I updated to 33 and now I'm stuck with no protected apps and I can't flash 91 or any other version. 33 is like my body is covered in mosquito bites, its awful Ill do anything to get back to froyo, even unlock the bootloader. Has anybody rooted 33? Thanks

Yes,you can,but ONLY if you unlock the bootloader,no other way at this moment at last.Take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772591 ,and also you can search a little,many posts with the same problem.

thanks, i was on my phone so i could only search google which didnt help:

http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1...frg+33&qscrl=1

Ive been monitoring and posting on the 2 xda threads related to 33 but the one that mentioned rooting said use superboot frf91, i googled it and found it on androidforums, but i couldnt find the tools it said were required plus at the top it said it was to root frf 91 and i didnt want to forge ahead and mess anything up, i decided to ask some more questions first.

when i started the superboot frf91 thread in androidforums, the first instruction had me download the proper "tools", the link went to modaco.com, which is pretty daunting in the amount of information that bombards the user. Not sure what to do really. I selected "android" and it took me to a news page, something about cancer funding , samsung latest, etc. Then I searched "superboot frf 91" and received no results. I am trying but i found modaco.com to be quite off-putting...

Can i just choose any rooting method or will only certain ones work with 33? thanks

Ok, so if you had read the last few pages of the link to the thread I gave you (hell, you posted in them, so I hope you have read them)

There is a general consensus that you can either
a) Unlock you bootloader
b) Wait...

Please read...

Im sorry why did you type "unlock your bootloader or wait"?

Above your post I asked "has anyone successfully rooted 33?" See, I rushed into flashing 33 and it got me onto trouble so I'm being more careful with this. My concern is that, afaik, nobody has unlocked their bootloader while on 33, so I'm just trying to obtain confirmation about which method works (if any). One person said use superboot 91, but as I indicated I had a few hangups after trying that so I'm simply inquiring further to see what if any method somebody has had success with.
