Yes you can you need 2 files
one from this thread remember to Thank the OP [Q] Root for Official FROYO.UVKA6 - xda-developers the file is in post 8
and then to get CWM working again you need recovery 3e modified to work like recovery 2e - Updated 01/23/2011 - xda-developers from here
Good luck I did mine and now have flashed to Bionix V still getting used to it but WOW

The new Bionix V is KA7 and I went with the non Touch wiz I like the plain launcher or ADW. So far no problems, no lag (VooDoo lag fix built in) modem works good in my area.

Thanks for the links! However im having an issue with Titanium Backup and I hope someone can help me...
After rooting, and installing the modified recovery file (and before installing the modified recovery file), I cant get Titanium Backup to work. Superuser is showing its green, but everytime i open the app, Titanium says it cant get root rights (despite the seperate Superuser message that pops open on the bottom of the screen stating otherwise)
Anyone else have this issue?

It will fix clockwork recovery mod, the mini kies u/l of froyo 2.2 changes a signature file? and the 3e fix will bring the CWM back so you can flash any rom.
on other, the only stuff i've been working with is TW just look around over at XDA i'm sure i remember seeing some just lag fix stuff.

that file goes on your computer u then unzip it. Then
1. turn on USB debugging
2. plug into computer
3. run script and follow on screen prompts

glad I could help.When you open up Titanium Backup, go to the help button on the bottom right corner and download the version of BusyBox they provide. I had the same issue and that fixed it. Good luck!!

All I did for mine was after i put those fixes in place, backed up a couple of things and then shut off and back on the phone and followed the guide from TW
