Root No root yet???

Ok I ordered an Optimus G2x (as it's being called here in the states) yesterday and it should be here Thursday. Being on the DX for the past 9 months has been great, but I'm soooo ready for an unlocked bootloader. However I'm a bit nervous by the lack of activity here in the root section of this device... are there no devs at work on it yet?

I know it's only been out here in the states for 4 days now, but it's been out in the UK for a while now, so I figured someone would have at least rooted it by now. If I get the device and there still hasn't been any dev work done to it within two weeks time (is that the grace period for returning a device here at T-Mo?) then I suppose I'll have to go with the Samsung even though I am not a fan of that device at all.

But I don't want to be tied down with a device that nobody is going to be making ROMs for, that would be even worse. I pray someone takes up this LG and runs with it. Because I'm sure by all the specs that I'm going to be really happy with it as a phone. But I was also happy with my DX as a phone, but it doesn't have the geek factor that other devices like HTC and Samsung have with all the ROMs available for them.

I hope I didn't jump the gun getting this thing. :(
 
SuperOneClick works on these, so there is root.

The O2X has a CWM recovery available, but due to partition differences, it doesn't work on the G2X, and one will need to be built. Sure it wont be long.

CM7 is in development, nightly builds coming soon, hopefully.

Ahhh.... that's what I'm talking about!

Sweet, so long as it gets CM7 then I'll be a happy camper!

:D
