Just thought everyone should know the program SuperOneClick will indeed root the Ally running stock Froyo 2.2.1
You can get it at XDA [Only registered users can view links. ] Please follow the instructions on the download page closely and consider donating to the author if you find his program useful.
**Edited**
I have found a new App on XDA called GingerBreak APK to root and unroot Ally. It is run 100% from your phone like z4root was, and will root/unroot at the click of a button. It uses the newer GengerBreak exploit and works on Ally running both 2.2.1 and 2.2.2.

To Root/unroot 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 on Ally
1.Go to [Only registered users can view links. ] and down GingerBreak APK v1.2 **Please read through the original post for need to know info**
2.copy it to the root directory of your SD Card
3. use a file management program such as Root explorer to navigate to the file (GengerBreak-1.20.apk) and install on your phone. [Only registered users can view links. ]
4. Open program and press "Root Device"
5. wait for phone to reboot. Congratulations, your rooted.

Reason: add new root method
Thanks for the link. Hopefully I'll get a chance within the next day or two to give it a shot. That certain teenager will be very happy once again. Said she likes Froyo, but mad that it took SU permission away. LOL
I made one attempt last night to regain SU permission. Ended with a fail. Superoneclick said device was rooted, but indeed it was not. She has so much garbage running on the phone that I don't seem to have enough time to disable/enable/disable USB debug. Gonna do an operation cleanup shortly and attempt again.

Per tefca, I gave 1.6.3 a shot and it worked flawlessly. Thanks guys, I feel alot less of a moron now. Have rooted TONS of newer phones and this particular Ally was trying to get one over on me.
It confused me as well. Phone was rooted prior to Froyo. Update notification was recieved and she installed the update. As expected, root access was lost. With 1.6.5, I first tried with debugging enabled. No error messages, but didn't have root. Initiated the process with debugging off and then switched on/off during the process. Still wouldn't return root. Tried with it 1.6.3 and it went through just fine. Who knows...
