Root OTA 2.2 Question

Ok so im confused on a little bit of this. With the ota 2.2 update, does it mean you cant root period? or is it just flash to 2.1?

you absolutely CAN root. but as of right now, you cannot flash back to 2.1 with the sbf method we have been using for the past 6 or so weeks. i am sure there will be a method soon enough, but as of right now, it is not possible once you have installed the leak.

well if you are on OTA 2.2, I hope you've read NOT to flash the 2.1 sbf. My understanding is it'll brick your phone.
Next I am on OTA 2.2 and have rooted my phone via the D2 way. Here's a site that made it extremely easy. Hopefully you are not computer illiterate and have a general understanding of what your doing. Takes some time too to load things
