Worked first time for me on AC apart from telling me I had to enable USB debugging mode first, after I enabled that, it worked right away

Alex, sorry for asking, but that is a perm root yes, not a temp one?

I am guessing we all should do this in preparation for clockwork, nand and update.zip?

Hi,

I take it you also need usb debugging turned on?? when using z4root

EDIT - Also b4 i root - just need to know if you can unroot (or whatever it might be called) ie undo what z4root does

Yes you need debugging turned on
