welcome to the forum. have u checked the DX section or DX Forum? many of these devices running GB has similar root method. u can check out Droid Life also

I have but all the methods are making me skeptical. I need a person that knows a for sure way to get the job done and ill follow those instructions to a T.

in all honesty, the instructions is there however i hear ur hesitence in doing so. i strongly suggest reading thoroughly and how to sbf. in that link to Droid Life theres Rootzwiki link.

OneClickRoot is awesome. I used it on my D2G and it worked great first try.

Worst case scenario... you may have to SBF, but those instructions are in the D2G forum too.

Here's the thread I followed:

why wont it work? i tried and failed epicly. Are you sure itll work on 4.5.602?

I'm positive. I just SBF'd to .330 and did the OTA update and then used OneClickRoot, it rebooted 3 times (during root process) and worked like a charm. Just make sure you have usb debugging on... and it's a good idea to slide unlock your phone when it boots up

Use this..... works flawless if you haven't previously had root. If you had root before you need to sbf back to GB and then do it. Works great!!!

I rooted with it (the OTA GB) and then installed the "wugfresh" wireless tether zip and wifi tethering is a breeze once more. (the way "wugfresh" works is it deletes the file that VZW uses to track illegal tethering) Very easy also....just google "wugfresh".
