Quick question...after format+mount+install 2.3.15....can I install the theme right then and there or, do I need to reboot and then reroot+ bootstrap again? Because I would imagine formatting the sys is going to cause the loss of root...
I know you said do ALL from the initial recovery boot...but, you list installing the theme after that comment...
Probably being overly cautious seeing that I have used this theme from the initial 2.1 release...just want to clarify this even though I'm fairly certain I know the answer.
Thanks Dave

If you are concerned about losing root, do yourself a favor snag the attached zip file. Put it on the Root of your Sdcard and leave it there for future use.
Then flash that file (su-2.3.1-ef-signed.zip) IMMEDIATELY after you flash the 2.3.15 update.zip and before you reboot. This will ensure you don't lose Root.
As far as flashing my theme immediately after the ROM update and before you reboot, sure you can do this, I do it this way all the time ..BUT, it might be best to make sure you got a good install of the 2.3.15 update first and that everything is working OK before you flash my Theme. Sure this adds another boot into Recovery, but that is nothing compared to trying to troubleshoot an issue you may encounter and not know if it is ROM related or Theme related..it's just good practice to do one thing at a time and make sure it is OK before taking another step... It can save you and ME a lot of troubleshooting headaches.
HOWEVER...If I were you, I would worry more about getting back to 100% stock 2.1 so you can get the Official Froyo 2.2 (2.3.15) Update tomorrow. Last word is it is being released at noon eastern tomorrow.
What we are working with by using the current 2.3.15 "leak" is only half the picture. The OTA release will give us the correct/latest Kernel, Radio, and other stuff that these current leaks are incapable of updating on our phones at the moment. Once we get all that then the "system file stuff" for 2.3.15 is already done and ready to go.
