Downgrading from official 2.1?

[BatarangMoses]

So I downloaded the official 2.1 update....but have decided I would rather root it. Can I downgrade from 2.1 to 1.5 so I can root it?
Thanks for any answers.

There is no root status for the new 2.1 RUU.
However, there are steps to repair your boot process that will allow to run an old RUU. It is long and drawn out and kinda technical. If you want to tackle that with no guarantee go ahead. Otherwise you're stuck until they root the official 2.1 ruu.

Ah, ok. Those dudes are pretty quick, do you think it will be that long before they figure out out to root 2.1?

My expectation is within 2 weeks of today. However if any of you followed the Eris root status it took them over 3 months from their 1.5 version. So you never know...

This process only works on the test RUU, the leak that came out last week. It wont work on yesterdays official version.

This is also assuming that they decide to put effort into it. Seeing as they have already rooted 1.5, they may not have much incentive to root 2.1.

I have the leaked version installed and am technically inclined. Where can I find out how to do this?

Again, it only works for the test ruu

The RUU test was already rooted. It was through ADB, this is nothing new. This was not an answer to the OP's original question.

Exactly, the answer to the OP is simply no.
