Root Have you heard...root for 1.5

Interesting development.

"Root is here guys, give us some testing time and more will come."

"Hats off to all the devs, esp to Caboose."


"DO NOT UPDATE TO THE LEAKED 2.1."

"We can go from 1.5, to ROOTED 2.1."

"Not from LEAKED 2.1 to ROOTED 2.1"

Well...it appears that patience may pay off in this instance. Frisco...will you really root a phone after such apprehension with waiting for an official build of 2.1?

I hope that this pans out...it stands to reason that a root may soon be found for the leaked and/or official OTA as well.

While rooting the 1.5 appears to be an exciting endeavor, with nearly unlimited possibilities for configuration, I'm nearly certain I'll remain satisfied with the OTA upgrade when it arrives, rather than rooting my 1.5.

Having said that, I'll most certainly be reading postings from those who are rooting their Erises. I find the whole thing very interesting.

You just typed exactly what I was thinking.

I'd be madder about updating to 2.1 if I didn't love it so much... I guess I'll wait out the root a little longer- who knows, maybe they'll find a way to roll back to 1.5 and leak out the root to the public at the same time?

From the XDA forum "Now to work getting it on 2.1
Don't worry for those who have already updated."

You don't want to go back to buggy 1.5. Relax you'll get what you need. Besides, it's not even out yet.

yea they will keep working on 2.1 because a few of the dev's have 2.1 phones already, as for the rooted rom they are still working on it.....not being a techy I have no clue about most of what they are saying on IRC
