Verizon update 2.1.1 removes root access??!

[Justanalpha]

So on Jan. 14, 2011 I updated my Fascinate to the 2.1.1 update from Verizon. Before then I had rooted by phone. After this update, apparently my root access has been removed? Is this because of the update or is it something else?

It's the update. Pretty much all updates will remove root.

Whenever u hack a device like a phone, gaming console or w/e, u should never update it!

Try Superoneclick?

O I see that now...no I havn't tried that yet. I tried the One Click Lag Fix but I noticed the Free version and the Paid version have removed the ability to root

Superoneclick works great on the Fascinate. You should do a system backup before any update that way you can easily get your apps+ system data back easily.
