---

Hi noob here. I rooted my fone after i updated to 2.2. Everything was fine then i updated again to 2.2.1 now my fone will not root anymore. Any suggestions?

Rooted originally with z4root. Uk on o2 network.

cfroot also gives u 2e recovery back

Can i download that in the market or is it a pc and transfer jobbie?

Superoneclick is the method I used that worked. It's an app on your computer that u run

z4root is so convenient and easy to use but unfortunately doesn't work on all firmwares. In my experience, you have 2 options:

1) Use SuperOneClick. It's a desktop app and has worked for me on all firmwares that z4root doesn't. The disadvantage here is that your recovery still won't allow you to run unsigned update.zip files.

2) Install a custom kernel that includes root, 2e recovery and other features. There's a bunch in the dev forum but here are 2 examples:

Ok so i tried both and still not working . Just spent an hour searching tinterweb and the talk is that there isnt a root yet for the 2.2.1 jpy update. Is this true?

Hrmm. I haven't seen that although I've not read up on JPY. I understood that JPY was (VERY) similar (or the same) as JPU and I know SuperOneClick works with JPU. Check the oneclick thread for updates on JPY.

i have root on jpy, you can get it by flashing cfroot as PDA..
or flash hardcore kernel as PDA and use simple root + bu on the recovery menu..

it should work.. it did by me

I shall give it another try and will post result. Thanks everyone
