I know most people have moved on to an N1 or an X10 but for the odd person who made the mistake of updating with the RUU and wished to get root access back.

Great news!!

Too bad, I got no idea how to use adb.

might be a bit OT, but does anyone know if there's something similar for the dream?

Best I can tell, the Dream can only be re-rooted with a jtag (hardware debug cable). For now at least.

@ Taknarosh

did you root yours?

[PhoenixStorm713]

Awesome! But I don't have a computer or access to one. Plus I'm scared to try this. Which is probably wise seeing I have little computer knowledge.

Anyone in the Queen City willing to help me? (I'll donate)

I never updated via RUU. Sorry. =[
There are already a handful of people on XDA claiming it works so take it for what it's worth.

Did your data get disabled after updating? I'm creating my gold card right now.

[mikeovi]

data works fine so far

I think once you're cleared from the "disable data" list you can't be put back.

Been running the root for about 4 days so far. No problems with data yet. Then again I signed the wavier when it first came out.

Done. Rooted. Updated to radio 6.5.10.xx to avoid Rogers data cut off, I didn't agree with any waiver and I'm not going to.

2.1 on the Magic is very nice. Not as smooth as the Nexus One of course but much much better than 1.5. The fancy 3d effect launcher works but not very smoothly, I think they don't have the proper gpu drivers yet.

My phone is finally usable.
