Great post!
I've just ordered the thl t6s. I have to wait a couple of weeks or so to receive it. Googling a little I've found your stupendous post to root the phone.

Thanx in advance for sharing your job.

Easiest way to do that is by doing a readback of the nvram partition in flashtools, no need for root to do that and it's the best backup you can get (raw complete partition).
