Root How do I root this thing (2.3.4)?

I'm cross posting this to the thread with a sensible subject. You have to have adb and fastboot installed on a Windows computer.

Thanks! I'd rather wait until 98 is listed here. Is that wrong? Or too cautious than necessary?

I get the impression that it puts hboot .97 on your phone.

Oh OK thanks, then I'm definitely going to wait. Since Rev will likely do a version for 98 anyway, going back to 97 just to use the current Rev doesn't make sense to me... but it might be useful to some. Thanks for posting it.

Yes this works, it lets you downgrade back to 2.3.3 then you can run Revolutionary and get root.
