Default anyone still working on root?

i think the dev community has given up on us. so is there anyone out there that is still trying to root this thing or are we all doomed with this thing locked down?

weasel over at the backflipforums is making a good effort. if he can find a new exploit it may work on the devour. I think we need a leaked firmware to make it work though. all the ones released are worthless for the att backflips

Well, with 2.1 coming in the next few months hopefully that will give the folks working on it what they need.

Is there a firm date set for the 2.1 upgrade yet? Frustrating enough not finding a way to root this phone, could at least have an upgrade now that 2.2 is out

The Backflip has been rooted

Update statement - not firm but it's the latest news:

Quote:
CLIQ, CLIQ XT and Backflip customers:

The quality of experience for consumers is a top priority in providing upgrades to our current product portfolio. In working through Android 2.1 upgrades for CLIQ™, CLIQ XT™, and Backflip™, certain hardware configurations have been limiting upgrade capabilities. We are currently integrating and testing HW drivers essential for OpenGL functionality for these upgrades. We believe OpenGL, the industry's most widely used, supported and best documented 2D/3D graphics API, is an integral part of our customer experience and we're taking the time to ensure this experience is optimized on these products. Testing continues and we anticipate providing the upgrade on each of these devices in the late Q3/early Q4 timeframe.

To see the upgrade schedule visit our page: Motorola Android Software Upgrade News
