Would it not be better to root AFTER we have 2.2 locked down.
Does it matter? Root is easy to undo. And it only takes about 7 minutes to root.

It should t matter either way. These phones have a reputation for being easy to root u should b fine either way.

What the heck, is this a temporary un-root? I am on my rooted stock kermal/rom Epic that I used one-click root(PC) to root my phone. I wanted to unroot using z4root and I was unrooted until I turned my phone off. When I did I was rooted again. BTW, it took about a millisecond to unroot.

Might not unroot unless you rooted with it.

OK. Thanks. I might try re-root but I don't want to brick.

Is there any way to root gb after the update if I was rooted with z4root petes method is not working for me
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Delete z4 and use http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/ instead.
The phone was rooted before the update I have used Pete's method 3 times on this phone but it doesn't root it but says its rooted when it reboots twice

I'm on At&t. Can i root after the OTA update and where is the best tut?

Yes, you can root after accepting the OTA. You will have to decide yourself on which root method to use. They are easy to find in the Developement section.
If you have root before update, download voodoo OTA root keeper. Run it before upgrade. After upgrade, use it to restore root. Just remember you have to be on stock recovery for update to apply.

There are a few ways. Check my sig I find this way works good. YMMV. Jump in the water is fine.

Can I root and unlock my XT907 running 98.18.78.XT907.Verizon.en.us?
I want to start flashing ROMs (Specifically CM10.2) and what not, but I don't have root access. Directions are unclear whether I need to root before I unlock the boot loader, or if unlocking will also root my phone. I tried to root several times tonight, but was unsuccessful, I think this is due to the fact that I was not rooted when I accepted the OTA. Or it could be my wife's crappy computer?!?
Please let me know how to proceed. I appreciate the help.
