Your only option to get root back is to flash the 2.0.1 sbf with rsdlite.root from there. Then if you want ESE81 you can use petes version with the recovery removed.

I am so sorry about not getting back to you sooner on this. I am not sure how to work it on a mac. Try this thread http://www.droidforums.net/forum/hacking-help/24707-unroot-unbrick-your-phone-using-sbf.html and ask someone if there's a way to use it on a mac. Other than that I dont know what you can do. I am pretty sure there's a way to do it though.

Ok need a little more info. What ROM were you running and what update did you use for the new software?

I updated to 2.1 software. The kernal version is 2.6.29-omap1-g7fa8788 , android-build@apa26#1

The other day i had rooted my phone just fine and i was using the wifi tether and then i charged over night and it wanted me to update the next morning and i did. Now i cant run the tethering program. But i still have the Superuser Permission app in all my apps.

What happened was you allowed the OTA to go through. That breaks root. You still have the SU app because the update is a system update and doesn't affect apps. It still shows up but doesn't work because you no longer have superuser permisions.

So then how would I root again? Cause when I go to root it gives me an error message like at the beginning of this thread.

use that to flash back to 2.0.1 then you can root again. If you still want the 2.1 but with root I can get a link to show you how to do that.
