Used this last night (saw it on XDA). Worked great. Highly recommend this method!

Re: Simple Root Program. NO ODIN required

Have been following the XDA thread for a couple of days. Even easier than the previous methods, hope to try it out in the next few days. I like the fact that this method keeps the stock rom.

:D

I don't want to flash roms, just root. So, what happens if (when) verizon pushes out the next update? Will it lose root? Or, is there an easy way to un-root? Sorry for the Nube root question :)

Yes, it's addressed in the OP link. You have to do it manually at the moment but it's nothing intense. Read the official thread.

So I can't flash a rom doing it this way?

Yes you can. Since you're new to flashing I strongly suggest you simply buy ROM Manager from the Play Store after rooting your device because that will easily download/flash the custom recovery needed to flash a ROM.

Used this method last night. Worked like a charm!

Happily rooted with Clockwork installed & Wifi Toggle.

Not sure why, but it will not work on mine. Something about adb not being valid or something.

I didn't push a recovery to my phone via adb when I rooted using the tool on XDA but I installed ROM Manager right after I rooted and used it to "flash CWM" but that seemed too easy. Does that method work 100%? I was able to boot into recovery but I've just always done it manually in the past and this seemed almost too easy. Am I good to go or what?

How do you unroot from this type of root? Will I be able to update to the next ota? Or is the odin way of root easier and safer to unroot?

Rooting is free... Just download the link in op extract to desktop. Plug phone in, let it install drivers(does this auto) open program, and select 1 and enter for root and let it do its thing....
