Quick questions-
Since I used Paul's method to delete a few of the bloatware apps, should I re-install the stock ROM first, manually install the OTA and then perma-ROOT it?
yep running on mine
FINALLY!!
WARNING: THIS COULD PERMENANTLY BRICK YOUR PHONE, INSTEAD OF ROOT IT IF YOU DO THE EVER-SO-SLIGHTEST THING WRONG. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. I AM NOT LIABLE FOR YOUR STUPIDITY.
On that note, I would not recommend this on any phone other than the G2, as I have not personally tested it.

Firstly, run VISIONary to gain temp root.
You need these files:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1738927/G2ROOT/wpthis-OTA.ko

Push the .ko file appropriate for your phone, and hboot-eng.img to /data/local/, then go ahead and open a terminal or adb shell
Code:$ su # insmod wpthis-[YOURVER].ko
Do you guy think this will work on the myTouch 4g? I'm scared to brick mine lol
I don't think it'll run properly 'out of the box', but the two devices are similar enough that it's not a stretch to assume the mytouch4G will have root within a day or so.
Can someone explain to me very clearly how to "push" files in ADB and do this step by step? I've never quite used ADB so I don't know how to push files to data/local and stuff.

Will this also work with folks with the European Desire Z?

EDIT: Can someone mirror these files for me? I forgot to pay my hosting bill, and I know I only have so much bandwidth on Dropbox. Thanks in advance!

Alright, so I just bought a G2 offline. I have no idea if this phone is rooted or if I need to root it. It did not have Superuser when I started it up. But, when I went to the bootloader, it looked exactly like the picture in the 1st post. It says ENG S-OFF & all that. It even has Clockwork Mod as a recovery. Now by the looks of it on here, that S-OFF os something that happens when you root it or when you're done rooting. So my question is, does anybody know if I'm already rooted?
I also have no idea if it got an OTA or not.
