Root Cant root, is it the latest ota software update?

I was thinking about doing that, it sucks that I would lose my progress in all the apps because of it though.

Edit: I rebooted the phone, things picked up, no need to do a factory reset.
 
I hope it comes out in a day but I guess I can wait two or three days for it to come out thank you unrevoked for the great work
 
I was rooted before the update via unrevoked with s-off

got the message to install the ota update which i tried but the phone never rebooted and just stuck at that stage.

i decided to manually update which went fine. After the update my phone lost root which i knew was going to happen. I tried to run unrevoked again and obviously it didnt work.

I downloaded z4root off the market place and installed it. Ran the program and started the process but stuck at completing root and rebooting. I just ended the program and for the hell of it tried titanium back up and was greeted with a superuser request.

Looks like my phone is now rooted so im happy for now.

I thought z4root didnt work on the dinc?
 
shut down the dinc, hold down volume down key and power button at the same time, when it boots up look at the top of your screen to see it it shows s-off or s-on
 
Hopefully here soon they will come up with something. I went to root my phone, and I got stuck with the same thing. I even tried factory reset just for the hell of it, and had the same problem still with trying to root it. Didn't work.

Someone let us know if there is a update. Would appreciate it! :)

After receiving the OTA yesterday and finally getting fed up with the bullshit apps they force on there I spent most of the night trying to root. I ran into the same problem you did, stuck at "waiting for root..." and I tried every suggestion I could find. Looks to me like unrevoked needs to update their procedure.

I got stuck at the same step. Oh well guess i will wait until unrevoked finds a new patch to exploit for root

I thought that if you were rooted with s-off before the OTA you could just re-download superuser and be fine?
