P3droid just tweeted this pic.

So its rooted?

Swyped from the best phone in verizon's line up

It is on his. He has a dev phone though and he said something earlier about it only being rooted on dev phones with true recoveries.

I don't think he's using a dev version. He's using the version HarleyDude got earlier, and tweeted to spread the word that he was able to sbf back to Froyo.

Either way, looks like he's gonna find a way to root it very soon!

Just to clarify, the OTA GB does NOT have a different bootloader. It's still 30.04, which is why you can flash back to Froyo...Tested it personally.

I thought the same thing, if it could be flashed back using RSD it would have to have 30.04...I never checked the bootloader, i'm still trying to find flaws

And? Rooting is legal. I really don't care if they know.

I couldn't agree more. I was just poking fun at all the drama last week about them trying to track rooters and how it was certain and all that drag

I don't understand why verizon is saying this is not their update and gb isn't ready are they trying to hide something? Or maybe trying to set people up possibly doesn't make sense to me.

It is strange...how would people receive OTA updates of this if it isnt legit, and I even heard the manual install version is on their website already, haven't checked so not sure about this
