Is being rooted okay, when Verizon sends the Froyo 2.2 update?

[gjngjngjn]

I rooted my DroidX using the method without installing adb. But instead of doing

#rm rootshell

...which deletes the executable, I did a:

#mv rootshell bak.rootshell.bak

...which changes the name of the executable, keeping it there just in case.

My question: Does this need to be back in its original condition for the Verizon update to be effective? How can they update the OS without having root access? That has usually been the prerequisite when upgrading any Unix and Linux systems, so I'd assume their update programs need root access in Android OS as well.

When I attempted, a few days and reboots later, to rename bak.rootshell.bak back to its original name -- rootshell -- I got the error message that /system was a read-only file system. So no go.

So does anyone know whether rootshell needs its original name? What's been the experience with the original Motorola Droid?

Thank you.

Yea you will be fine all it will do is take away your root but nothing else.

just delete it. Its going to have absolutely nothing to do with the 2.2 update. you'll be fine. you can't rename the file unless the system is mounted as read write. which is why it wouldn't let you rename a system file. get root explorer for 2 dollars and delete it. Root explorer mounts the system with the click of a button and back to read only with the click of a button.

not to mention there is an .SBF file leaked this morning that would put your phone back to the stock update IF you were to run into any problems with the 2.2 update. (which you won't just teling you for extra comfort).
