Done.
when running the batch file or slitaz you may see these errors

open command prompt
enter
boot phone to fastboot
run commands
let phone boot complete, then reboot again (reboot just replaces the local.prop, but the old local.prop is still in memory, till second reboot)
command
should give you a root prompt # (instead of $)
run petes root tools, zerg rush, or superoneclick
then you rooted
VooDoo Method
1 start with full stock 2.3.4/1.3.380,if you have rooted with anything other than Pete's Root Tools*, have altered/deleted stock file, or if you are already on 2.3.5/1.3.418 you have to SBF
SBF to full stock 2.3.4/1.3.380 (VRZ_MB870_4.5.1A-DTN-150-30_1FF_01.sbf)
if you don't want to lose data, don't wipe data (although it is recommended), unless you bootloop
if you bootloop you have no choice, but to wipe data via stock recovery
2 install Voodoo OTA Root Keeper, backup su, then temp unroot (keeps backup)
3 install update 2.3.5/1.3.418 , (Blur_Version.1.3.380.MB870.Verizon.en.US.zip)**
a via over the air or
b download, place in sd card root (not in a folder)
md5 B127D3AF93FD6A75C3A3D897C6D0FCD1
and install via stock recovery
4 restore root with Voodoo
*zergrush may remove stock files, to root, causing update to fail
**updates are named by the version they are updating
