I have it temporarily rooted, it loses root upon reboot, please wait until I can get a script working. I have been granted temporary root via camera. It grants temporary root via USB Debugging turned on with MTP and all that turned off. I have been able to remove VZW Bloatware... no luck on bootloader yet though.

If what you claim is true you should contact jdevs and take his help... I am sure, he can work his magic even with temp root... I doubt it though... Cuz u can't remove bloatware with temp root... So either u don't have it or u have permanent root! But again doubt that! No offence though..

Hey guess what, I rooted this phone a month ago. I work for VZW as a system / software security expert and have access to their methods and scripts for bypassing their software security measures. See, anyone can post up anything for attention.

Just because someone has 4 posts, and not known DOES NOT mean they are not capable of rooting a device. You are so quick to shoot someone down, if it is a fake, let it be, we don't need to here this comment every time someone claims to have found something... This forum is a discussion for who those who are interested in experimenting with their devices, no need for trolling just because someone has 4 posts and hasn't posted screenshots. If I were to discover a potential rooting vulnerability, I would not be posting screenshots, and I definitely wouldn't have the posts.

So a few replies:
1. Deep down, yes we do. Whether you want to admit to the truth is another story.
2. Maybe get your facts straight on my business - let me enlighten you: Never had the Turbo. I'm smart enough to not buy a phone that is so locked down when I want a phone with root and/or an unlocked bootloader. If (not when) that ever happens I'll consider getting it, but chances are the '15 models are going to be out by then and the Turbo will be considered "an older phone". Right now I'm just following along on the (lack of) progress with rooting and keeping everyone in check with reality (or "trolling", if that's how you want to put it).
3. Unrelated since it isn't happening with this guy. I'd bet money he goes away just like the "VZW security rep" did in the bounty thread. I'd give you the link to his area in that thread if you don't remember him, but I'm not sifting through all the bs posted over there to find the exact location.

Lol, maybe, but seems an appropriate response for someone going on a rant, wanting really hard to believe that this guy ACTUALLY temp rooted this phone after I called the "rooter" out on his bs. Screenshots, images, pics of the whole phone, something would be better than just "Hey guess what, I rooted it."
Don't get me wrong, I'm not voting against the phone being rooted eventually. I'm just less inclined to creme all over my keyboard without some sort of believable hard evidence.

Forum rules, please read!
There seems to be a significant amount of animosity of late in the Android related forums. I'm not certain as to why this is, nor do I want to hear any reason for justification; what I do know is that it is unacceptable.
XDA is about bringing together folks who have similar passions about mobile technology. As the forum is accessed worldwide, you will encounter all types of folks from different walks of life; some of these folks will be extremely technical, others not. In all cases, it is the responsibility of all members to remain respectful of one another. We all have different opinions, we do not all have the same level of knowledge, and some folks are looking to feel like they are learning while trying to contribute.
Show maturity and professionalism by responding with helpful and constructive information. There is absolutely no reason to respond in a rude tone or to make someone feel stupid ... it is not constructive and serves no purpose.
I would remind members that the best moderation is self-moderation.
Forum rules, please read!
I just rooted my phone (thank you xda for making it super easy!) however, now I'm a little freaked out about what I've done.
I basically rooted so that my phone is speedier. I have no idea, in the area of ROMs or customizing, what else rooting can do. I'm not asking for help in doing those things, because like I said, I just want my phone to be speedy.
But now I'm a tad worried (due to a "beware" response I received on another forum) that I've opened up a portal for someone to access my accounts, contacts, etc. through apps on the phone. Sorry if I sound like a complete idiot, but in this arena, I suppose I am!
I just want to make sure that having the Super User permissions that I didn't just open an security threat that I'm not equipped to deal with.
Thanks for any help or suggestions (even if your suggestion is to unroot). Like I said, please go easy on me...I have no idea what I'm doing, lol.
i dont think rooting/superuser give any access to threats that you were not already exposed to.
someone please correct me if im wrong.
as far as what to do now with root, there is a sticky here in general with things to do with root. we are wating for Roms

You are correct.
Ignore the ignorant.
You have root = you have power. You control what your phone does. Don't download apps asking for permissions they should not need... you asked a good question so Im not worried about you being an idiot... just dont be stupid.
That said, take advantage of root. I put my suggestions in the sticky at the top.
Thank you. I will be sure to read the sticky...
I don't think I'm an idiot, just not very savvy with Android. Yet.
I am very diligent as far as doing my research, but this is a tough subject as 1/2 the information I find says one thing, and the other 1/2 contradicts it.
I'm truly not ignorant, or at least I'm attempting not to be, as I have read up on this. I just don't know what to do with the conflicting information.
root does not inherently open you to security threats.
but you said you 'rooted' to make the phone speedier, so did you just root, which has really no effect on speed or did you do a lag fix? the lag fixes won't cause a security problem, but from what i understand, ext2 will corrupt over time so that's not 'safe'. i think some of the lag fixes check for this, but there are so many now, i stopped keeping up on them.
if you just did root and remove some stock bloat, then don't worry. just actually read everything you do from the dev community and apps, and ask questions if you are unsure and you should be fine. definitely check out the sticky, though. lots of great stuff there.

I did do the lag fix too, but I don't think it was the ext2 one. I could be wrong though (and probably am). I found it here, RyanZa's One Click Lag Fix APK.
So you think it's something I should uninstall now, or just be aware of the issues with it for the future? (Sorry, again, if that's a ridiculous question. I honestly just thought that was part of rooting.)

Ya rooting(gaining root access) really has nothing much to do with making the phone speedy especially on Vibrant right now. An average user shouldn't even feel the need to root the phone.
The article that you have seen is most likely to clear the misconception of rooting is necessary for all Android phones.
I used the one that the link ends in 760571 (sorry, since I'm a noob I'm not able to post links yet)
I think they are the same, just a different thread?

I'm totally the average user but I knew I had to root to speed things up a bit with the lag fix. I would unroot and undo the lag fix, since I'm obviously in WAY over my head (lol), but I'm just as scared to do that as I was to root in the first place!
Cyanogen is saying its a bug. Tmo is saying its a feature. which one is correct?
If it is indeed a bug how would tmo go about fixing our phones? mass recall? sweep under the rug?
If its a feature, is it a precursor to what future phones will be?
Either outcome isnt very good for the consumer and may lead to lots of lost customers for tmo. Specially after tmo releasing a statement that its a feature of the phone.
I love this phone, the very first smartphone i ever had, and was really looking forward to hacking around with it but its hard to justify such a device that locks you out of such features. I hope cyanogen and all the other great devs work out a solution to this problem. I dont want to send it back.

People are being jerks for sure, but OP, you should search better cuz your question has been answered in several threads. The short of it is NO. It is not a bug in the sense you are thinking. It is an intentional bug which tricks linux (android os) into thinking writes to the system files during root are being made when in actuality, the writes are only being written to cache. Once the cache is cleared during reboot the root access is erased because it wasn't actually written to the system in the first place. It's not a bug that needs to be fixed. It's a bug that was placed there to fool the system and make permanent root more...challenging.

There is a very informational Wiki out. Check it out. It will get you up to date with all the work that has been done towards root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2
The important part of the question.. for me.. is whether the Z has the same bugFeature.
I see one random user saying that they flashed a G2 rom on a Desire Z and nothing more. Have I missed something? Kinda hard to say yay or nay based solely on that.
"Intentional Bug" ????
If it's intentional, it's NOT a bug.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Thank you XfooYen for the info. I did a quick search before I posted(the posting page even searches similar post before you publish them) and found nothing similar. I will make sure to search more thoroughly next time.
I am familiar with the current situation with root, I just though that if a well known developer like cyanogen thinks that its a bug that maybe the readers of xda might want to discuss his possible ratonale for such a statement, then again that may not have been what he was trying to say and got it misrepresented by the media. Instead I saw nothing but irrelevent and pointless posts. For a second I thought this was gizmodo or engadget.
Thank you again. Its good to know that xda has readers who actually know what they are talking about and not just the average troll.

Yesterday I updated to 4.4.4 (root still works, SuperSU survival enabled)
The problem is that Xposed Mod doesn't work anymore. It looks like write protection reenabled after update (checked it via PC and adb shell command)
Is there a way to fix that?

The write protection? Not at this time, unless you have an unlocked bootloader. Perhaps someone will come up with an exploit that will turn write protection off on 4.4.4, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I have an unlocked Developer Edition on 4.4.4 with root and WP off, but on my day-to-day Maxx, I'm still at 4.4 with root and WP off and I've frozen MotorolaOTA and Updater to prevent any OTA's from sneaking in.

I'm in the same situation. If you install/update xposed, then cancel the reboot and choose soft reboot, xposed will work. It took several attempts the first time for it to take, but eventually did. The down side is every time your phone shuts off or reboots, you have to reinstall and soft boot. Also, and this may be only me, but about one a day every app crashes at once and forces me to reboot and reinstall xposed. I'm assuming it's because of the framework not being properly written to the system. It's a pain in the butt, but xposed is worth it to me, so I've been dealing with it. Good luck

I'm assuming it's because of the framework not being properly written to the system. It's a pain in the butt, but xposed is worth it to me, so I've been dealing with it. Good luck

while im rooted and wp off, i was going to take a leap and go to 4.4.4 it gave me an error on update too. update downloaded but failed on install.
i havent tried again. think SU may be blocking it? or safestrap is interfering? i have no idea. not really concerned about it.

Had similar problem. I reflashed 'boot' or 'recovery' (don't remember) via fastboot and it helped.
You can check update log in order to determine exact reason

Or just ignore it? It's not like this is a highly active device forum that these are getting in the way of something important.
Not you but the general attitude in this device's forums lately are sad. Yes people ask the same questions a lot, yes it's annoying for those of us that read everything, however you can't assume that everyone reads every post in every thread. It's very easy to just chuckle at the repeat offenders and move along. Beating people down because they asked a question that was already answered on page 45 of 79 in another thread is just as lazy as them not looking for the answer to begin with.

No it is not and if you don't like the attitude of the devs in this forum then feel free to step up and make your own exploits.
Rule number 1 of the forum rules sticky is "search before posting". It is very appropriate to call someone out when they blatantly disregard those rules.
Don't get butthurt on someone for knowing the rules and trying to cut clutter.

Could not have proven my point better, thank you.
If anyone is "butthurt" it appears to be you. What exploits have you made by the way? Everyone has their place in the forums whether they be noob end-users or developers who create great things from virtually nothing. Remember the Golden Rule and things will be much better off.

Take a look around this community and then ask me what I've done for it again. It is users like you that have blatant disregard for rules and feel entitled that have made most of us apprehensive about helping anyone anymore.

If you want to flex your dev muscles please look around for what I've done as well. This isn't a contest. Please tell me where I've been entitled and/or shown a "blatant disregard for rules". You sir have some serious anger issues.

Anger? No I'm not angry, i'm simply defending someone that you attacked for pointing out the rules. Just like @NWKENT @Caseyk621 @bigv5150 @Jaocagomez would
Furthermore i don't care what you have done for the galaxy community or the roms you made for their devices. We are talking here.
Anyway your argument is invalid and without basis. Attempting to show this to you is likened to speaking with a brick wall.

Hey if you would rather have "devs" bashing people for asking questions than people simply answering questions or ignoring duplicate questions, so be it.
Going to be creating a petition as an attempt to somehow get us a unlock for the device. I will update this periodically in the coming days and weeks.
Here is the link to the petition I have made.
https://www.change.org/p/amazon-unl...otloader-5884c88e-9ccf-4cdd-b2e8-846d03d294f1
UPDATE 12/27
Tomorrow I will be adding a link to the petition. With the holidays and everything going on things are quite crazy.
UPDATE 12/28
I have updated the post to include the link to the petition.
If anyone would like to include any specific wording in said petition please reply below stating so.
It's been done, never had an effect. Don't waste your/our time.

Look, I never agree with the guy, but Davey126 explained to you in the other thread. Even if you acquired an unobtainable amount of signatures, somehow got it in front of someone that mattered, and forced them to read it, they would ignore it. Plain and simple. If they wanted to unlock the bootloader, they would have done it at release. Oh, but a bunch of nerds want me to do it so they can sidestep the OS we designed for it. Look at the petition for the S5: 1400 signatures and didn't make a difference. The same can be said for every device this has been attempted with. I wish it weren't true, it's just not ever going to amount to anything...

@rjmxtech created a petition asking Amazon to allow bootloader unlocking of this device. Based on the signature count, it's not going well.

You can ask google for meaning of a word
petition meaning
a formal written request, typically one signed by many people, appealing to authority in respect of a particular cause.
"she was asked to sign a petition against plans to build on the local playing fields"
synonyms: appeal, round robin, list of signatures/protesters
"about 7,000 people signed a petition objecting to the scheme"
