I recently rooted my droid so I could overclock the processor and had a few questions about the new update. Will I still receive the 2.2 update from verizon? Will this take away my rooting access? How do I get root access back with 2.2? I used this method to root my phone: How to Root Motorola Droid on Android 2.1 ? My Digital Life
I am looking for a easy way to root again once I receive 2.2. Thanks.
 
I wouldn't upgrade to the Froyo OTA if you want root as you'll lose it when you update. If you're running a custom rom, OTA updates are usually blocked anyway so you won't even know an update has been issued. You'll need to either install one of the current froyo roms or install a rooted copy of the official release when someone releases it.
 
How long does it usually take for someone to release a rooted copy of 2.2?

Assuming that the "official" update will be quite similar to the leaks, we should get a rooted version relatively quickly... *probably* no more than a day or two. And who knows, perhaps the official update is the same release as the newest Froyo leak?
