id love to root but to have to redo everything would suck!!!

If I'm not mistaken, I could be, there is a way to drop back to the .5 version. As soon as I find it again, I'll post it here, unless someone else beats me to it. Also, I heard that it will wipe your phone, not sure about that either.

Ah, here we go:

That should have everything we both need for a proper root. Enjoy.

Churro, use MyBackup to backup everything, or Titanium backup. After you root you can restore all your apps. Also if you sync with google then your contacts /email will already be there.

install the .5 ruu and then you can root from there (like the linked thread says) if your still unsure, there is a good thread on reverting back and rooting the .5 install, very easy to follow over at xda
