I'm in the same boat with my vzw devour, its a solid phone but no one seems to want to work on rooting it. Haha gl with the backflip root!

 

wrong thread

 

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:
