The Samsung Moment Android 2.1 ROM already rooted by someone named joeykrim. But I don’t know the chronology. Ok, let’s see the way.
Tool
Released on SDX first!
There have been two leaked releases of Android 2.1. Will keep updating this post as more information and testing is available…Android 2.1 has been Rooted by SDX
Info
DC23 and DD03 both released in one Moment_2.1.7z file
DD03 has the newer kernel build, we’re gonna assume its the most recent version.Experience
I’ve flashed both and they both flash properly, both make phone calls and allow data. All your /data (personal settings and 3rd party apps) will be erased with this update, just like CL14.SDX Custom Downloads
SDX Recommended Version of Android 2.1
SDX Version of Android 2.1 DD03 – Same as stock DD03 except it’s bundled with joeykrim recovery 2.1.3 and SDX logo.png!

Calkulin – System Dump – http://www.mediafire.com/file/0ncjzjnymzm/Moment%202.1%20DD03%20System%20Dump.zipBrief Directions
- Download the SPH-M900_MR2_DD03_REL-joeykrim-recovery-2.1.3.tar and put it into the Sprint Update Tool binary folder (C:\Program Files\Samsung Electronics\SWUpgrade\Models\Binary).
- Make sure no other files are in the Binary folder except the SPH-M900_MR2_DD03_REL-joeykrim-recovery-2.1.3.tar file.
- Run the Sprint Update Tool to flash. If you have any issues, please refer to this guide and post in that thread if you have any issues: How-To: Using the Sprint Update Utility for FlashingRecovery
The joeykrim – SDX – recovery 2.1.3 does still work!
Restoring an old /data or /system from Android 1.5 is not recommended and more than likely will not work.
New /data and /system backup/restores will work going forward on Android 2.1!Methods to remove stock apps
Boot into joeykrim SDX recovery 2.1.3. In our recovery, we run adb as root. adb shell in an rm /system/app/BejeweledDemo.apk ! Might want to copy them to sdcard before removing, just in case! cp /system/app/BejeweledDemo.apk /sdcard/backup/apps

This is the way :)
Use 7zip to extract both .tar files from the Moment_2.1.7z file. Copy SPH-M900_MR2_DD03_REL.tar into the Sprint Update Tool binary folder. Default path to binary folder – C:\Program Files\Samsung Electronics\SWUpgrade\Models\Binary. Make sure no other files are in the Binary folder except the DD03.tar and run the Sprint Update Tool to flash.
