Looks like a root method has been found for the Epic

[marioc]

The folks over at SDX-Developers seem to have found a usable method for rooting the epic. Here's the thread:

adb root exploit - test

Looks like you lose root when the phone is restarted, but hopefully a few more days will fix that.

Update: That was fast. Looks like a solution for keeping root has already been found. See the last page of the thread.

Also, in the Roms/Hacks sub-thread. Link too. Can't believe I didn't post it earlier.

Should be a quick and easy adb shell task. Alot quicker then rooting my moment.
