T-Mobile clears up G2 temporary root questions
Posted by: Justin MardenA few days ago, we told you about the T-Mobile G2 being rooted here on AndroidGuys. We quickly learned that the root is only temporary, lasting until you reboot the phone. Well, we just received an official statement from T-Mobile regarding this issue.
You can read the press release below, but it basically says that some software components are stored in read-only memory as a security measure. This ensures that key software isn't corrupted, which would render the G2 inoperable. This prevents any modifications from being saved to memory, which is why the software is restored when rebooting.
I'm sure it won't take long for some dedicated dev to crack this egg, permanently. But at least now we know why rooting the G2 is only temporary. Check out the official statement below. Thanks to Matt from T-Mobile for sending us this info.
