Its about time someone posted this. I have been all over Google, XDA and Android Forums trying to find out how to root my Phone on 1.83 and couldn’t find anywhere that said this works.
I did just run the update and ran afterupdate.bat like you say here and sure enough everything went great and i’m still rooted.
