XDA – a long running online community known best for their persistence in hacking smartphones has officially prevailed over the notoriously difficult to crack HTC G2. Just a month after it’s release HTC’s complex anti-hacking software (and hardware, apparently) has been rendered useless. A full guide can be found after the break, if you don’t mind taking a 500 dollar leap of faith.
Prior to this permanent rooting method XDA developed, G2 owners could only temporarily gain root access which was lost when the device was powered down by the user. Today, that’s been fixed and everything you’ll need to permanently root your G2 including instructions and downloadable files can found at XDA. Ah, the Internet. Be warned; however, as these instructions can just as permenantly damage your phone if you don’t follow the instructions exactly as they’re written.
Is the G2 now a viable option for you? Have luck with XDA’s tutorial? Let us know below in the comments!
