Just to ask the question, there is no unroot from this yet, right?

*Navigate to the system/bin/mount_ext3.sh
*At the top of the screen press the Mount R/W button
*Long press mount_ext3.sh

*Press paste (this will put a clean copy of this file on your sdcard in case things go badly)
*Navigate back to system/bin/mount_ext3.sh
*Long press mount_ext3.sh
*Select Open in Text Editor
*Scroll to the bottom of the file
*Press the the return key on the keyboard to put a empty line

(note: there is a single space between chmod and 4755 and there is a single space between the 5 and the /.)

If you do root using the motofail method, how do you unroot?
