Root access is available but its not permanent. There is a temp root that works very well and allows almost all of the functions of normal root minus the ability to "stick" after a reboot of phone.

Thats not really correct. Its more like having full access to system files. A "custom recovery" is like having a hard SPL. But you cannot gain access to custom recovery without root. So they do go hand in hand.

Sorry if these minor corrects seem anal...
