That was designed using the files to root 2.1 only, why would you expect it to work?

Agreed.

The new GMail app is nice. It has a good layout and flow to it. The camera is also nicer and I no longer have those 2 stuck pixels when the camera is on. They are just gone now.

So far, so good.

Mine is a leaked 2.2 rooted and I am going to wait to see how's the official release before do anything on my X.

If memory serves right, an update to Easyroot was issued about a month ago when Froyo first leaked that made it work for the leak.

Here is a update from the Easy Root website:
This are a bit unclear for you guys at this time. With the /boot partition getting locked down for now and no “real” recovery partition it makes life a bit difficult. The official 2.2 update will remove your root and block tools like Easy Root. Once the official 2.2 OTA hits we will see what our options are. So, this post will get updated later for the Droid X when the official OTA hits, but the key thing to get out of this…get away from official ROM’s from Verizon/Motorola. They will constantly try and stop you from using your phone as you like. If you have a Droid 1, get CyanogenMod and enjoy having root and faster more open phone.

Oh ok, well either way the new update has different files no? I mean these guys are good but they aren't going to get it working 15 min after they release it. I don't get off work till 3am so they got a little while to get it working.

That is funny, I thought the same thing when I installed the leaked version. But no stuck with that color until someone can do a color change update

I'm curious if this is worth sbfing back to 2.1 to install. From what I've heard, it's supposed to be worlds better than the leak, but I think I'll wait and see some people's impressions of it first.

No root with ota !! Failllll

I believe this problem can be solved using the Droid 2's root method, unless the OTA blocked that out too.

I have been trying for an hour and I keep getting a message saying, "Check for update was not available at this time. Try again later". Why do I keep getting that message. Any thoughts? I would appreciate it.
