Sounds pretty cool, if it really works. Mabey i will try it out, after having a look at the scripts and what it actually does. It says not to do it if your s-off or not stock, but i dont see why it would matter.

As a rule of thumb, I detest scripts that grant you auto root, especially on a device that is pretty easy and painless to root. It's make the user lazy, plus how many people actually check the code? If it has a slight bug, or a slight incompatibilty with your device, there's a good chance to brick, and you really only have yourself to blame.

I looked at the code and found 1 issue. it runs the ruu to update hboot to 1.0.2, which is fine if your on hboot 0.92 and redundant and unnecessary if your already on 1.02. If your on hboot 1.07 already, it will fail and kill the script as hboot cant be downgraded if your not s-off. The script does no check to see what hboot your on, it just flashes it.

So the script will work if your on hboot 0.92 or 1.02. If on 1.07 it will not work unless the script is edited to remove the ruu flash part. As stated above, its not that hard to do manually. Hell you might even learn a little something, and become more familiar with adb and fastboot. And adb / fastboot can be a usefull thing to know. There are great step by step guides that can show you how here on xda.

Thanks for looking at it. A prime example of why I don't like these scripts.
