The waiting is finally over! I was about to die from the anticipation. This root method has to be the easiest method that we have seen for a device since Z4 root for froyo way back in the day. The Root method labeled "WeakSauce" is a one click application which will apply the root exploit. Once the exploit has been applied all you have to do is grab the SuperSu application from the Play Store. This is not permanent rather it is semi-permanent it will reapply root on each boot. Root will work to remove bloat and change system apps, as well as apply mods via Xposed Framework modules. Head to the source link below for the app download.

Via XDA

Me too. It works just fine and if I want to unroot I just uninstall the app.

I kind of like the idea of a non permanent root that applies itself every restart.

has anyone tried removing bloat apps? do they return each bootup since we are losing root when we shut the phone down. Im thinking if they are removed with root they won't just come back right.

I've tried it with Verizon Tones with TBU and it keeps coming back.
