[Gordz24]

OK all those commands are done.

[D13]

so you moved su to xbin

you can now put the froyo update on your sdcard, boot into recovery and apply it

 

[Gordz24]

this might be off topic. if my X is not rooted, i should not have a su file in /system/xbin.
i was rooted but update went bad had to do a restore.

 

[Gordz24]

Thanks droider so much. Froyo is working great and its rooted! I appreciate the help so much.

umm it might have survived. I suggest re-rooting then overwriting the one that is there.

Im afraid to update mine, I have it working the way I want, apk's renamed and Im rooted, root explorer works and I have wireless tether working, I don't want break it.
I still wonder whats gonna happen when VZW pushes the update to my phone? I expect it to fail because I renamed files
