You will need to root it again.
You will need to root, don't try finding "free" root program. I spent 3 hours looking for one. Finally went with Root Explorer, pay for app off the market, (which by the way is great app) to go from Steve's 1.8 to official Dell 2.2 340. Now that I am on 340 not a fan of it, standing by till Steve gets Honeycomb ROM developed and will go with that.
But the real question is after I went through the headache of getting 340, is do you really want to make the leap? (See my answer above)

Super manager is free and works if you have a rooted system.
Oneclickroot will root and sideload all of the roms I have tried.

what are you talking about? ROOT EXPLORER has nothing to do with ROOTING your device.
NO ONE HAS TO PAY FOR ROOT if you DID you should buy an iPhone.

I used the search and couldn't find a clear answer to my question which is why I decided to ask. If the vibrant is updated to official 2.2 is it safe to just use odin to go back to official 2.1 or not? I am wondering this because I'm thinking of getting an extra vibrant of of ebay but most have already been updated to 2.2 which requires a different method to achieve root access and since I have all the necessary files for rooting and moding from 2.1 I just wanted to know.

i dont see why not...
Yes, you can odin back to stock from any ver. That is actually what everyone does when they run into trouble in order to start over and fresh. Also, you can easily root 2.2 now, you don't have to waste 15-20 min.

I've been searching threads for rooting 2.2 but haven't found one as simple as the update.zip file I used to root my vibrant and family members vibrants as well. Could you at least give me the name of the app or link to the thread you are referring to? That would be very much appreciated. But if I do get a used phone I think using Odin to get back to ji6 at least would be a good thing to do anyway since you never know what could have been done to the phone by prior users. I haven't searched for odin files for 2.2, but if they are available and rooting it is as simple as you say I guess that would be an option as well.

Good point I'll have to check for that incase it's been installed.
Sent from xda app on vibrant running axura 2.3.1.2
If it has been installed than the phone is most likely rooted already.

Where is it? I don't have gingerbreak ,it came with froyo 2.2.2
Gingerbread will root it for ya. But there's no SBF file so your screwed if something wrong happens. If you want, go ahead, there's a guide some one posted, I think in the Motorola DROID X2 general forum. But im waiting on the SBF file.

I rooted mine, no problems so far. If there are though, it will be a 3 lb paperweight until the sbf file comes out.
This the address you need for gingerbreak its really easy to use just load the apk

I've just froze my bloat so far, I haven't deleted anything yet until there a working SBF. Still, every little bit helps.
I just got a new Optimus T in the mail today. EXACTLY identical to the Optimus T I had a week ago, that one I Rooted in 10 minutes with NO prior knowledge of this stuff with z4root and it worked fine. THIS device, however will NOT root
Z4root just closes ( not a fc though,just dissapears) two minutes into the process. None of the other ' one click simple roots like universal androot or easyroot they all just don't work after half a minute of thinking. I even got excited after I had successfully installed superoneclick. But even that program ended after 30 secs with a message that said FAIL (literally) WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??? Could it be the device itself? Could the manufacturer have patched the exploit?? please help me I can't be stuck with this matrix of the android community. My device must be unplugged!! Some be my Morpheus.

What version of Android is on your new phone? IIRC, my Optimus T shipped with 2.2.2. If you have Froyo 2.2.1 or 2.2.2, then use GingerBreak to root it.
ETA: Errr... I guess my phone shipped with 2.2 and I updated it to 2.2.1. Nevertheless, people with 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 should use Gingerbreak.
I had the same issue after the 2.2.2 update. I had to use Gingerbreak to root my old Optimus T
Alright thanks a whole lot guys I'm gonna give it a look see. I totally respect this community.

I have the Fascinate and I love it.
But for the last few days I have tried many different roots, all work until I want to go into clockwork. What are the correct steps from step one to loading clockwork and load a rom, preferably miui. I had the og droid and was great at booting and loading rom's but the fascinate is throwing me for a loop.
Soo with that said I would like to make a request for anyone willing to do it, please show/tell me how to do this. I have seen posts on new roms, but not rooting updates and etc.
