I haven't done it yet, but I just came across this...

I'll be waiting for the non paying method...

I agree, but on the other hand, its still a step in a good direction.

You should NEVER pay for a rooting method. Who ever wants you to pay for rooting is "RIPPING YOU OFF!"

Why is that a rip off? If I got something you want ...what makes that free?

You might want to hold off.

If I created an in demand program and I had no competitors I'd likely charge a fee too. Obviously this root engineer is skilled and likely educated, his creation, I believe, is worthy of a fee. $20 isn't going to make anyone file for bankruptcy.

It's a half-baked root at best. "Read only" so most of the things one would root to be able to use won't work.
Congrats to the dev for finding a way in, but I'll save my money for whoever finds root I can actually use.

And, of course, nobody is forcing anyone to actually pay $20.

If you want it, pay. If you don't want to pay, get on with your life.

Yes, it's a bummer that one can't mount /system as RW with this root method. However, a few nice system images have also been released in the last couple days. I'm running an image with WiFi tether, Xposed, and Addblocker baked in. It's awesome to be using Gravitybox on my Turbo and well worth $20 for the freedom to use tethering and block those adds!

I have no problem with the $20 fee, I am hoping that now that the root door has been cracked open a more complete solution will become available in the near future, there is only one I thing I really miss from my old phone and that is wifi hotspot. The hotspot is something I wish I could use now and then but it is far from a necessity so I can be patient, the Turbo is an awesome phone as is.

I did it and now have my free hotspot on my Turbo.

Have you tried over and undercloxking? I'm curious to know if that would work?
