Good timing, a restore utility was just released, haven't checked out the script for it yet, but should work, just put it into fastboot and run the utility. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2685090

Root worked perfectly with the 11.3.2.1-root_v2.0 package from kfsowi tools. took a while, approx. 20 minutes.
