Yes. I have to say, sweetest root I've had, excepting the Nexus 5, which kind of goes without saying.

I rooted mine with PurpleDrake on a windows machine. Just extracted the tar and used adb to get root, then used the Flashify to flash the TWRP image. Took about 10 minutes and now I've gotten rid a a lot of bloat.

Rooted here too via Windows. It went without a hitch.
Spent a couple of days making it my own (G3 TweaksBox, xhalo, pie controls, unicon beta, etc).
Anyhind kudos to the PurpleDrake team.

I just received my TMO G3, do I want to install the update then run purpledrake or run purpledrake first then the update?
