Some excited rooters at the XDA Dev Forum tried to root the G2 so that they can control the software so they can add their own programs, apps but they were unsuccessful to do so because they found out that there is a built-in lock in the G2 hardware that returns the handset to the stock state upon rooting. Same like self repairing or self recovery system.
New America blog post stated that
Wireless network operators have deployed a hardware rootkit that restricts modifications to a device owned by the user. This would be akin to a computer sold with Microsoft Windows containing chip that prevented users from installing Linux or another operating system of their choice.
