That's a good question. Is my phone permanently rooted or do I have to go back to installing the original OS (RC29), do the TelNet thing, and after that install cupcake?
Or when I returned to the latest pre-cupcake OS (RC33, 1.1) did that close the security hole that was in RC29. If it's closed, do I have to downgrade to RC29 to reopen the security hole?
I guess I could try to install cupcake directly from the MicroSD chip and see what happens.
But as you may suspect, I am not willing to risk I might brick the phone, especially since the reason I went back to the original 1.1 firmware OS was to be able to receive the T-MO OTA cupcake update.
Sidenote: For those who might wonder, reasons I got rid of cupcake was because it showed that I was with Vodafone and the default location was in the UK. For example, when I opened GPS mapping software it opened to the European map and not the U. S. map.
So while none of that affected the phone and features, I did not like seeing that "Vodafone Magic" in the <Settings> <About phone> <Model Number> box.
Another thing is that in the version of cupcake I downloaded it had a different interface and icons. E.g., while I had the camcorder feature, I did not have a camcorder icon. I did not like that. A niggle, I know, but I wanted that icon in my menu.
