I can confirm that z4root 1.3.0 has successfully rooted my scroll, and it only took 2 minutes! Perfect!

Not exactly familar with Android, grew up with DOS and windows

On restart, the SU icon is still present in the application draw (functions as it did before restart), any thoughts regarding this i.e. should the SU icon disappear on hard restart if its a temporary root?
