I'm getting this phone out of warranty and the lack of ROMs/support makes me sad. I just got out of myTouch 3G slide (had a horrible dev section. Don't get me wrong. There are great ROMs and great people but just it is so...empty) and I was hoping to be in a decent dev environment again. It has decent specs so I was hoping for MIUI or CM (I made a topic in the CM forums asking).

Also, can someone link me to the rooting guide. Thanks!

Rooting guide is on the first post of this thread.

Oh my. I feel stupid....

I'm actually looking forward to this phone. I just hate the lack of ROMs. Also what recovery is installed when I do this root method? I can still do the good ol' nandroid backup/restore right?

No recovery works properly. Tried clockwork but it ended up formating my phone upon every reboot. So no nandroid. But u can always use titanium backup for root for now.

Id be happy with just a kernal we can overclcock with. I actually like the LG UI. After rooting, removing bloat
and running setcpu its quite snappy.

So sad. So is there anyway to get the phone back to stock? adb system format?

A overclocking kernel will be fantastic. My dream come true would be CM7 or maybe even CM9.

I did a quick google search and found out the processor is the same processor as Inspire 4G so I assume it is the 2nd gen snapdragon.

I actually swapped it out at Tmo. I couldn't sys format via adb. It would still format with stock recovery upon reboot.

Yeah there r a few devices I think that are using this scorpian proc. An overclock kern should be easy.

I would say ice cream sandwich with root and overclock would be ideal.

This keyboard is great. Reminds me of the ol G1 days :)

ICS and OC will be perfect.

Maybe this guy can help form a recovery for our device

"In order to port RZR to anything, I need to know the base kernel address, the boot command line, the page size and the partition layout."

Maybe we contact him and get a fund going. Id be willing to donate some $ for a recovery and kernal.

was shopping for xmas and stopped by t-mo just browsing, ending up leaving with the new mytouch, lol. i like it, better than the htc branded ones. UI is pretty slick, would love to see some dev and rooting progress!

Im also looking forward to a few roms and kernals if we could get some devs in here glad to see peoples interest in the phone...
