This rooting method works on Android 2.2 build FRG01B. It does not currently work on FRG22D. If you would like root access, I suggest rooting instead of installing the new FRG22D update.
Instructions for Rooting Android 2.2
1. Download and install Universal Androot.
2. Open Universal Androot and tap the “Root ” button.
4. If you the process completes successfully, it will look like this.
5. Congrats! You are rooted!
6. Now reboot your phone to finish off the process.
You can stop here and enjoy being rooted or you can hit up the next set of instructions to get a custom recovery image on your phone which will allow you to make full backups and flash custom ROMs
Installing a Custom Recovery
1. Open the Market and search for ROM Manager. Download and install it.
2. Open ROM Manager and select “Flash Clockwork Recovery” at the top.
2. Open ROM Manager and select “Flash Clockwork Recovery” at the top.
3. If asks you for permission, check the box and tap “Allow.”
4. ROM Manager will now flash Clockwork Recovery onto your phone. When it finishes, it will tell you.
5. It is now time to create a full nandroid backup and prepare for custom ROMs!
Time to create a nandroid backup which will save you should you have a misstep somewhere in the future while flashing a custom ROM, new recovery, etc. Nandroid backups should be created constantly to ensure you have a current backup of your phone
Creating a nandroid backup:
1. In ROM Manager, tap the option to “Reboot into Recovery.”
2. Using the volume up/down keys, scroll down to “nandroid” and press the camera button.
3. Choose “Backup.”
4. Clockwork Recovery will now create a full nandroid backup of your current phone settings.
5. When it finishes, choose “reboot phone.”
6. You now have a rooted phone, custom recovery and a full nandroid backup.
