I want to root my milestone but I do not want to risk bricking my phone by flashing it before I get my upgrade in april, I've used one-click roots before whilst on 2.1 but can't find any for froyo. If there is any please post below, thanks
you can't root 2.1 and then update to 2.2?
I've used 'universal androot' to root my 2.2.1 milestone.
This post at androidforums helped me out and provide a download link:

Using this app is at your own risk of course.
Well, I suppose you are using stock froyo, as any custom rom comes rooted. I think that at some point I used one called z4 or something like that...

With Universal Androot you can root your phone, but you can't flash other ROMs though.
You need to do the vulnerable recovery sbf in order to be able to change roms.
Definitely worth it to flash the vulnerable and then another ROM. Tons of great features added to the stock ROM.
Rsd lite plus the 2.2.2 sbf file. This will downgrade u to 2.2.2 then use gingerbreak to root the phone. Its very easy

You can with a custom rom.

I currently have Froyo 2.2 installed as well as root on my Droid. I want to roll back to 2.1 or 2.0.1 and lose root so I am bone stock. I have seen some instruction on how to do this, but all of them are for 2.1 to stock. Can anyone give direction on how to go to bone stock from 2.2? Thanks.
Well don't know about the radio you have or direction on downgrading that but for unrooting I would install a 2.0.1 rom or downgrade to 2.0.1 then I would find the 2.1 ota update untouched and flash that. That should wipe out the root and give you stock 2.1. Or you can find stock 2.0.1 sbf file and downgrade to that with rsd lite. I don't know if original sbf file used to root is stock or rooted it maybe untouched and when you root your flashing an rooted 2.1 version after initial downgrade. I would check that out also.

The other thing is the Droid 2.2 ota is out on vzw website. You can flash a 2.1 rom than flash the 2.2 ota update.

Do you know what to stock radio number is? Thanks.
I think it would be C_01.3E.01P. Or maybe the C_01.3E.03P. Not positive but hope it sends ya in he righr direction.

You were right on the first one, that would be stock radio.

rom manager has stock unrooted roms. Not sure how to get back to stock recovery tho.
I have a friend who didn't get the OTA update to 2.2. They don't want any custom ROM's or to be rooted, they just want their update. Can I just flash FRG01B with RSD Lite without rooting the phone or having to put SPRecovery on it? I think this should be super simple but I've never actually done anyting like this to a non-rooted phone.

Thanks good link.
Is there a way to save all the apps for them before I update their phone to 2.2 or will they just have to download them again?
The update will not delete anything on your phone.

ne1 got a link for the files?
Hey everyone I realise from my earlier post that 2.2.2 hasn't been rooted yet so instead does anyone happen to have the virgin 2.2.2 to load on my phone. I'm currently running revolt but I want to make a custom from 2.2.2 ill use stock if I must though.
Thanks in advance for any guidence to locate it.
Ok, I'm not sure what you are wanting, but look at the link below for stock and rooted zv4, it is the original stock system.img for froyo 2.2.2. I have an update.zip that I made to update the system.img to zv6 but retain root that is also froyo 2.2.2. Either way you will still have to flash zv4 first. Just let me know if you want the update.zip.

I have tried Superoneclick latest version with zergrush. Hangs on step 7. I would like to root my SCH-I800. Anyone shed some some light on this? Even a manual root via adb?

Will CF-Root work? If which file?
same here: no joy with either latest superoneclick or with the pure zergrush.
vzw may have patched that exploit
:/
I mean I can put it back to stock and not update it. Just seems a lot more stable with 2.3.5. More fluid and faster. I originally had 2.2 and rooted manually. Now seeing new update, I reset to stock and downloaded both updates to 2.3.5. No dice on any root method yet. I see CF-Root as method but our device is considered old by latter means? Also my kernel string only gives "2.6.35.7". Hopefully soon...
If you flash the kernel from my Cubed 3 ROM it will allow you to adb push the root files.

Can/should we flash the recovery as well? Is it possible to flash back to the stock kernel and/or recovery after rooting?
BTW, I really like your ROM, I just prefer to stay a little closer to stock. Thanks a lot for all the help you have provided us VZW Tab owners!
EDIT: I just now saw your rooted stock ROM in the development forum. That is really awesome, thanks! But, if possible, I am still interested in rooting the device without having to reflash the entire ROM and losing data/settings in the process.
Any update on this? Suggestions?
Just need to root, not change the ROM (yet!)
Has anyone updated to official 2.3 from ROOTED 2.2 directly? Any problem?
Yep - used Kies Mini to update to Gingerbread from rooted stock Froyo. I backed up everything, but it looks like it didn't delete any of my apps or data (despite the warnings on the samsung website). Of course, I now have the bloatware back, and am no longer rooted.
Based on what I'm discovering, it isn't as simple to root with Gingerbread as it was with Froyo. Back to reading through the forums...
I just upgraded today from 2.2 to gingerbread 2.3.5. NO problem EXCEPT like you said not so easy to root. I am looking on the forum fou help no luck yet. I have rooted my phone many times with 2.2!

Search Fugu root method and you will find your answers!
Don't forget their already KK4 rooted stock Kernels in the developers section that can be uploaded by odin
Sounds like if I want to root after updating from stock rooted Froyo to stock gingerbread, I need to follow the fugu root instructions in the OP of this thread:[ROM]I897UCKF1 Odin-1-Click Gingerbread 2.3.3 w/ Optional Fugu Root, with the exception of needing the UCKK4 kernel instead of the UCKF1 supplied in that post.
Based on some of the ongoing forum conversations, the build dates and build numbers from the leaked UCKK4 and the official UCKK4 are slightly off, so it sounds like those wanting onlyto root stock gingerbread should wait for confirmation that there are no other changes between those two versions, or wait for someone to post the new official UCKK4 kernel.
That sound right to any knowledgeable devs out there? I'm assuming that this strategy will allow me to root without having to manually (or via Titanium) restore all my applications and files.
Let's also assume that those wanting to do this have a logical & rational reason for not using one of the custom GB roms that have been available for some time .
Or you can use SuperOneClick
SuperOneClick 2.3.3.0 eventually stops responding for me using either method. If someone gets it to work, please detail how. I went back to stock Eclair then used Kies mini to go to 2.2 then to KK4.

The kk4 kernels that already exist should work fine after you flash the fugu kernel.
It won't wipe any apps you have installed.
