Root Guide to Rooting 2.2 for Windows and Linux

Thank you very much for putting this together. I rooted last night, and it was very straight forward with your write up.
 
Sorry for what may be a dumb question. Is Easy Root a full root or are there things I may not be able to do with using Easy Root?

There really is no such thing as partial root. You are either rooted or you arent.

The only issue with easy root is that for some the custom recovery will not stick and stock recovery will keep coming back. This is easily fixed by flashing a rom though.

Another probably stupid question, but I am very very new to the root community here. Is the FRG22 a custom rom? I do have that running right now. I did notice when I went to put FRG22 on that going into recovery would just put me in stock recovery, but I just reflashed that from rom manager and I was okay. Should I no longer have this problem if I am running FRG22?

Thanks for quick and helpful answers!
 
Great article, this worked great for me. I have a question, I used your instructions and installed the FRG22 ROM you linked, but I haven't ventured into the world of custom ROMs yet. Is this enough to be able to run things like SetCPU that say they require a custom rom/kernel?

Thanks!

FRG22 is technically a custom rom but all thats added to it is the things required for root. You shouldnt have the recovery issue anymore.

You can use setcpu with the stock kernel that comes with FRG22 but you can only OC to 800mhz. If you wanna go faster than that you will need a custom kernel but a custom rom is not required
 
What happened to the guide where you would use rsd lite to flash ese81sp.sbf file (or something) so that you would have SPrecovery then you could simply flash a rooted rom.
I think there was a video too.

I did this for a friend .
I rooted waaay back using the adb method described in the now defunct rootyourdroid site.
My launch droid dropped and the lcd never turned back on so they shipped me a replacement.
Thanks

thats the method this guide uses. If you want a guide to this method but geared toward 2.1 then check the guide to all things root related sticky
 
Random question...

If I already forced Trident's FRG01B update, then rooted to BBv0.4, should I install the official system update I got sent this morning? I'm assuming this is either the FRG22 or the new-and-improved FRG01B but I don't want to install if rooting my phone first will hurt it.

Its the exact same FRG01B that you had installed before.

Greetings. I just received the OTA 2.2 update. I am interested in using my phone as a hot spot. IIRC I need to root my phone to get this functionality?

I have never done anything like this before, so do I simply follow the guide at the beginning?

Is it possible to go back to factory settings if it fails?

TIA,
J

Follow the guide or use one of the apps that I linked. The apps are much easier honestly
 
Thanks for the reply. So if I use Easyroot, it basically does what the guide does? Does it make a backup of the phone pre-rooting? Once rooted, do I need a custom ROM to make my phone a hot-spot?
