How do I know I'm rooted? I have heard conflicting reports on the OTA update unrooting phones and some still work. I have the update and did the root process. Just no way to know.

After rooting, even before you do the recovery or flash another rom, when you connect your to the pc, you'll get something that says "USB debugging connected."

Let's say for example you connect to the pc and select "Charge only."
You'll have 2 notifications at the top left.
1 is the USB symbol that looks like a little cactus, that says, "Charge only" and
2 is a triangle w/ an exclamation mark "!" that one is "USB debugging connected."

If you installed a custom rom, you should have an app call "Superuser Permissions."

I'm gonna root tonight but from what I've read you should be fine even with the OTA fix.

Cheers Bro
I'm still learning, like I said I'll running the process momentarily so dunno about any verification steps.
You dont even have the icon? I know shortly post root the screen will be blank until a program calls for SU permission. Do you have any programs installed that may need permission? You could try running one like WiFi tethering and see what happens? Just a (very slightly) educated guess? Maybe someone else can chime in. I'll see what I see after I get done.....

Unrevoked deeds to be ran every restart to restore SU permissions. The toast method is permanent so you can flash Roms
