As far as I know you should be fine. Don't know if anyone has unrooted with it yet but I know the option is there. Just be carefull to not remove system apps as that will prevent an update.

damnit man, wireless tethering is not working for me. Screen shots are, but I'm going to try and uninstall the wifi tethering (and barnacle too) and reinstall and try to see if that fixes the problem.:icon_evil:

I may not have noticed it mentioned since the thread has grown since I started it, but last night I was going through my applications under settings/applications/manage applications/all applications. I noticed that there were many more apps I could now move to the SD card then I could before rooting.

While I'm on that subject if you have widgets and move them to the SD card you may run into problems running those widgets. It's a good idea to just let them stay on the phone.

is it possible to root and just overclock?

yup. rooting allows you superuser permission. click the root button, reboot the phone and that's it. basically all you'll notice is a "superuser" app in your app drawer. what you do from there is all up to you. my brother in law used this yesterday and it worked perfectly.

rooted successfully using Z4, loaded wireless tether, setCPU and ScreenShot.

however, i thought the max was 1ghz, not the 800mhz that setCPU allows
