according to motorola, the a854 will remain on Android 2.1 so there will never be an official update for it

I'm running the manual update to Froyo 2.2 on a stock UNROOTED n1. If I want to root would I still have Froyo or do I have to flash the rooted version after rooting? Do I just use the stickied post or does that not apply to rooting from Froyo 2.2?
anyone???

Got a feeling you'll need to use the official ruu exe files from htc. You should be able to download the 2.03 update from shipped roms, and install it by connecting your phone to the pc and running the ruu exe.
Then check for system updates on the phone after to update to 2.05. As far as I know at the moment, nobody has posted a 2.05 ruu. So this is why you'll have to do it this way. Also I have heard that the 2.05 ota may have been removed possibly in preparation for the froyo update, or to give more server capacity to the desire froyo update, which has already gone out.
Also sorry for the essay. Hope it helps.

Also from the stock Rom, you should then be fine just to update to froyo as and when the ota is released to the legend. I'm also running cleaneclair and am planning to do the exact same.

You can only update ro 2.05 if you unrooted your legend.
I don't know about froyo, it can update manually or by OTA.

Flashing an official RUU over a custom rom -- wouldnt that make you lose your root?
Hey guys!
I received and installed the new Android 2.2 update over OTA. But I lost my root access. I tried rooting with Unrevoked: no success. So I'm asking if anyone knows how could I root my wildfire now.
Please help
Reading really seems to be a problem around here.

You can't root the OTA, htc updated the hboot, so wait until unrevoked release an updated version.
I think you'll have to downgrade to an older RUU and root to flash a custom froyo, but I think the new hboot prevents this.
Leaves me wondering why you guys waited for official froyo and then decide to root lol.

For example, I waited for the official FroYo for stability. I had my phone rooted, and I had installed RUU sometimes too (1.37 or 2.10 cn), and then Unrevoked, because they can be rooted. So I didn't think that now, I couldn't root the official froyo, so I tried it as I had already tried RUU's and succesfully rooted.
Some people is saying that there were a lot of adverts/advices saying not to install RUU's or OTA's because then they can't be rooted. But I'm relatively new on this so I didn't even see those posts. There are a lot and I didn't read all of them, so I didn't know.
When I saw official FroYo was out I decided to install it to then flash Jacob's kernel and being root. Before that, I had finally went back to stock 2.1, rooted and OC, because custom roms are often unstable.
Now, I'm waiting resigned to be able to root it and forget this nightmare of being enclosed in this ROM.
EDIT: And yes, the new hboot prevents downgrading...
Do you get now the reasons?
How to update the Nexus Android 2.2 Android 2.3? Need to unlock the bootloader?
I tried but could not update or pro 2.2.1. It says update error and aborted.
I ask for help.
You are probably on a carrier modded ROM try using the passimg method (see my sig) to get back to fully stock then the updates will come on their own.
I have a nexus one with cm7 and wanted to know if there was any way to go back to stock android with ota updates
I had the same issue all you have to do is roll back to FRG83
Update to FRG83D
Then you can update back to stock 2.3.4 Gingerbread
