Epic now has root access

ROFL!

We have root access even before the phone is officially released.

When the phone is officially launched, Samsung hopefully release its source code and we'll have access to even more goodies. Perhaps source drivers *crosses fingers*.

adb root exploit - test

Does this mean we can possibly cook roms for gingerbread 3.0?

when it gets released this means we could make 2.1 roms and possibly 2.2 roms.
