Many people have been asking when 2.1 will receive a “proper” root exploit. The answer is probably never. This is not because we believe it is impossible, but is simply due to the fact that the phone already has been rooted. It would be nonsensical for any developer to waste their time working on this when there is already a way to root the phone.
To anyone who is waiting around for DMUpdater to be able to root 2.1 directly (without flashing recovery via sbf or other means): You’re waiting for something that will never come. No one is working on this, and no one will.
Edit (@trevorj): This does not mean anything about the 2.1 based DM. We are still at work on this, no worries there. I edited this post to include this last part because it was being misread. This post is about using DMUpdater to root phones running stock 2.1 directly without flashing recovery back to an older unpatched version. Thanks.
