WOW... I find it truly amazing that the same company (HTC) and the same OS (Eclair) can be so different under the covers... I am in awe of the devs that figure these things out.

Thanks p-slim....I was just about to report this!!

Acidbath reported that Paul over @ Modaco is the source for a superboot (same one???) that he is looking into. Paul is the one that rooted the Desire and is a very credible source, so between the two (or one LOL) we may be just about there!!!!

(still nothing on the other guy claiming root...the forums are still awaiting proof)

P.S. BetaMan...I wouldn't do anything yet unless you really know what your doing, my suggestion would be to do exactly as I am....sitting on all the threads and let the devs research, look at, develope + test. When it is ready for us we will know!!!

edit: Been reading the Tweet page from above and it does look like the same superboot from Paul, so....fingers crossed!!

Re: Root root root!!!! 5-25-10 update
OK....here is a little info for the Android noobies out there (like me)!! I have been reading all the threads/forums I can find on this subject, and here are a few things I have learned about this 'superboot' thing:

Superboot is a boot.img that when flashed, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash the system partition, no need to use ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just flash the boot image using the instructions below and you're done! "

Now...according to acidbath this is the best 'layman's term' he has seen for this, but adds that it will do all described, but still needs a way to load....that is what they still have to crack, so eventhough there is hope, there is still work to be done!

thanks for the explanation! i am really excited to see progress being made. i only check a couple times a week now, got a new car to play with, so i am not going insane waiting for root like i did for the tp2, haha. i am also in the process of rooting my car, haha, well supercharging it roots style that is. look forward to messing with my incredible like i could with the tp2
