i wanted to know if there was any way to get just flash and multitouch on the g1 without downloading all of the other stuff... im running the US cupcake update...
no. you have to root, install the updated spl, updated recovery image, and a rom that will support the things you want, which at current is limited to hero rom derivatives.

Seeing as there is such interest in finding out whether or not it is possible to root the official 2.1 and if not then "how do we do it?" I decided to consolidate all of the threads regarding the subject into one convenient place.

that almost happened to me...the day 2.1 came out i was deliberating between updating my phone to 2.1 or gaining root and getting a nicer rom...but prior to the official 2.1 update i had been researching since march when i first got my phone...maybe even before i got my phone i was learning about rooting n stuff...i felt i made a good PERSONAL*** decision by rooting my phone that same day
***I am a newb and am still learning. one should not root until they know ALL the pros and possible cons of rooting and flashing roms....

Hey guys I wanted to ask a question and see what kind of feedback I get
I had a nice rooted hero but had some hardware issues and Sprint was nice enough to replace my phone
However, now I have the official 2.1 update and I know I cant root my phone again (Even though Ive tried )
My question is, I still have the unofficial RUU that was released a while back that I also used but I was able to root after that update. If I use that RUU again and install it over the official RUU, will I be able to ROOT my phone again?
Im afraid to brick my phone so all your help is greatly appreciated

Unfortunately, that will not work. It won't brick your phone either, because it won't let it flash the rom.
thanks for the info. that sucks. does anyone think we will be able to root the 2.1 soon? I miss my old phone..

Well the phone is from Europe i assume ?? if so i would just go for 2.2 froyo (JPY) or 2.1 Eclair (JPU) as upgrades have been officially released, and they wont think anything of it if you have one of them... where as a custom ROM would raise some eyebrows lol.
