Yes, because, you need to do full wipe...
But, if you have checked in Settings->Privacy->Back up my data, check Automatic restore (same place) after flashing (ofc, if you use same account). It will restore all your apps (download them again, not set them up).

So I followed this guide and successfully rooted my d2g. Only thing i dont like is every few minutes i get an "update failed" message because the phone is trying to download the official 2.3.4 update even though i applied it with the update.zip file. Anyone know what i can do to get rid of it?

I had problems with wifi after downgrading to .608 and flash repacked .629 so I had to download OTA Root Keeper from another device and install with adb..
Here is a copy of OTA Root Keeper if anyone needs it: http://min.us/muARnFIxG
Please PM me if link doesn't work

WiFi CAN be problematic sometimes... It can be tricked, like You did... How to fix that, I don't know... The main problem is that sometimes, after reinstalling, it won't connect to WiFi and sometimes it will...
BTW, thanks for OTA Root Keeper link

4My friend found the way to root OTA .629!
Make sure your phone working on .629,
1.Flash repacked .608 sbf
http://db.tt/xj6oos8G
(Never Try Full .608 SBF !!!)
2 .Download tool PetesMotorolaRootTools or SuperOneClick extract all and run.(Just like rooting .608）
Note : - FIRST - Please Enable USB Debugging , Then connect cable for usb type Charge only
3.Install app otarootkeeper(Can be found in Play Store,it's free),backup su, unroot.
4.Reboot to Motorola Recovery, Wipe, apply .629 OTA update.zip,reboot.
5.install otarootkeeper app again,restore su
Check your device, it should rooted
ATTENTION: Reapply .629 update is very important, when you flashed our repacked .608 sbf, your device is working on a unstable hybrid rom

Yes, no help from it... still the same problem.
UPDATE: For all with some sort of problems (!), blindly follow guide from link, for RESTORING device... apply 608, apply repacked 629, (IMPORTANT) full wipe in recovery, root, unroot, flash update, re-root. Works like a charm, all radios are full to go!1Any roms work with this? I tried cm7 and got stuck at red m screen. Had to start all over. Anyone have sucess with a rom after on rooted 629?
Edit: cm9 worked after using droid 2 bootstrap.
