Well first off if your using the "Official" OTA 2.2 you cant root yet

 

I would like to know how to root for this as well.

 

Yup 2.2 isnt Rooted yet...Atleast the Official OTA isn't

 

HTC OTA Froyo 2.2, *FINAL*, build 3.36.651.6 (Rooted) Odexed - xda-developers

EDIT: Just to clarify this will ONLY keep your previous root.

 

Not sure how that's "funny".

 

This is OTA uninstalled, then picked over to keep root, fyi. This does not mean there is a root method for the OTA once installed directly from Sprint or HTC... there is no root yet for the OTA to froyo. If you have installed the above link and NOT the OTA directly, then you are fine and still have root.

 

just to verify what is said above.. if we manually downloaded and installed the 2.2, say last friday night... if we use this above link, we can then root?

3.36.651.6 is final and i have 3.36.651.3 when downloaded last friday..

 

Yeah you're right.

I rooted with Simple Root first, then flashed that 2.2 ROM, then flashed the radios and the 3.7.6c froyo kernel from netarchy.

 

Would you mind editing your previous post.

 

Sure

 

Worth repeating:

The above link is ONLY for people who ALREADY have root. People who are not currently rooted CANNOT flash custom roms, like the one presented in the above link. If you are on 2.2 and not rooted, there is currently no known method to root your phone.

 

No Root for you... None of the official 2.2 releases have been rooted as of yet.
