Official loader

I apologize profusely for this, but I cannot seem to find it through search. I am looking for the download for the official 2.1 so that I can overwrite my v3 leak. Can anyone point me to the thread with the download?

Thanks,

If you've installed one of the 2.1 leaks, then you cannot install another ROM (because you aren't rooted and/or can't root). The 2.1 leaks have a 1.49 S-ON (security-ON) HBOOT bootloader that prevents flashing new custom ROMs.

That's the one I was looking for. Thanks!!!

Keep in mind that using the RUU is EXACTLY the same as what you did with the leak version 3, sans the - release keys in the build number. Verizon is using the RUU to update all of the refurbs etc, and the difference between the RUU and the OTA, is the OTA performs an update (Leaving the bootloader intact) And the ruu performs a clean install (updating bootloader) The leak is simply the file thats within the RUU, minus the release keys.
