is there a recovery zip for if you choose to un-root the droid? or do you just re install the update?
So where do I find this file or program to be able to root my phone?
Also wondering if the 2.0.1 update didn't fix the exploit that was used to root... Anyone find that out before I accidentally brick my device?
After rooting there is a program called AdFree that does exactly what you are talking about.I'm thinking that root access might be handy for
<Dr. Evil pinky> Adding "127.0.0.1 admob.com" to the hosts file </Dr.Evil pinky>
I'm curious if that would block all that adware from spamming me when using the "free" software.

It downloads a modified HOSTS file and redirects all ads to 127.0.0.1 and it works REALLY well.
From what I can tell these patches just have a script that mounts the /system file system and copies files to it. If the "recovery console" has root access wouldn't we be able to build your own zip files with (for example) an /etc/hosts file in it and just pretend its an update? This might give you temporary root access without a full fledged phone hack.
