Guide to Rooting 2.2 for Windows and Linux

You can now root without rsd lite using adb. The adb method is easier and has less room for error so I would suggest using it. Click me for the thread

9/9/2010 I strongly suggest using the method linked above instead of the one in this thread. In a few days I will no longer have a Droid which will make supporting this thread much more difficult.

This will also work for going from stock 2.1 to Rooted 2.2

I do not know of a way to flash sbf files on a mac. To use this guide you will need either a Windows or Linux computer

The Linux method has been redone today(8/23) and is a much better method with lss chance of issues arising. If you have access to a Linux computer I would strongly suggest it over using windows.

Step Numbers highlighted in blue should be done on the computer, step numbers highlighted in pink should be preformed on the phone and step numbers in yellow involve both the computer and the phone.

Please read the entire guide and before starting the process.
Linux Instructions (Please note I have Ubuntu 10.04 this should work on other Linux distros but I have not tested it.)
1.) Download 2.1 SP Recovery sbf 
2.) Go here and download sbf_flash
3.) Download this update.zip and place it in the root of your sdcard(Not in any folder just on the sdcard).
4.) Run Terminal and cd to the directory with sbf_flash and the .sbf file
5.) Type in md5sum SPRecovery_ESE81.sbf
6.) Make sure the sum of the image is EXACTLY 9b6a336cd8f067d4487935468c758d89
7.) Connect phone via USB and reboot, while rebooting hold UP on the dpad
8.) In Terminal type “chmod +x sbf_flash” no quotes
9.) Now type sudo ./sbf_flash -r --recovery SPRecovery_ESE81.sbf 
10.) Most likely you will be asked for your Linux password. So enter it.
11.) Your phone will be rebooted into the bootloader.Turn off the phone unplug it.
12.) Power on your phone while holding the x button. This will get you into SPRecovery. If your phone boots up without getting into SPRecovery you will have to start the process over again.

Unfortunately the custom recovery will not stick at this point, you recovery will revert to stock. See this thread for a solution
