This is not ment to be an everyday Rom!! It's only Vital for the testkey in recovery that gets flashed!!
Flash this, update the Radio & flash to a new Rom like Slidemeroot2.zip
The only thing we need is the Recovery from it.
Also this should be Sticky atm, as this is the only way as of now to flash a recovery!
The Recovery gives use the abilty to flash any update.zip after it is signed with testkeys... But we are using ClockworkMod Recovery due to options it has..

This is excellent news! a much easier way to get root on this device!

---

Not sure if it's an alternate way, I think it's a downgrade after root is applied... We'll have to wait and see.

---

your right, fer, its a downgrade for an engineering build that you can do ONCE YOU HAVE ROOTED

---

So is this to unroot, once rooted?

---

forgive an ignorant question, but what does this gain us?

---

no this is to downgrade the build to engineering

---

just finished installing the update, system is rebooting now, will inform how it is eugene totally deserves props for this... donate if you can, i know i am as soon as my check clears
oh and his phone support is as good as golden ^^

---

king you were going to make a rooting vid right

---

yeah, but it'd prob be best for multiple people to make one, that way if someone doesnt understand how i do it then they may understand your way better, got me?

lighter on the system....data went from 135mb free to 74mb free because this is the build from before the final build freed up some memory

---

no.. eng is engineering build, means it was what they produced before the release build to test **** on

Yeah that's a great question. My best friend did this to his phone and I actually read through before I flashed the image. He said his phone is running slow and wants to revert back. Is there anyway yet to get back to the original build?
