Hi Everyone, I just want to share this easy steps to root Android L.
Note: Android L is a Developer preview, it is not stable as the KitKat version and it is using ART runtime only, so not all apps are compatible.
Update: The v2.01 release fixes some incompatibility issues with the Android "L" Preview. There is no binary update over v2.00.

Download the latest TWRP here:

I recommend backup all your data/files in a PC, to avoid data loss. And don't blame me if you have a bootloop or stuck at boot logo.
TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Boot into bootloader
For TWRP format cache first
Code:
fastboot format cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Boot into recovery
Flash the SuperSU-v2.01.zip
Reboot
You now have root access.

very nice
I have root access but cannot read/write to system. Is this a known issue at the moment?

At first I had a problem with wiping the caches via TWRP, but I had to flash supersu first then wipe the caches and now everything is up and running. Great job!
Confirmed. This is working! Nice job!

Try using Root Explorer. I have no issues with the read/write on the system

Everytime I try it says that the TWRP recovery image is too large. Any ideas?
I'm guessing this is the same as the other root method, where it roots your device, but some apps still don't work as root apps?
Titanium Backup is my main concern.

I agree. I saw your post in the preview thread. I haven't used your process and boot.img yet, but will soon.
Give this man the recognition man, the least you could do.
Can anyone explain what this means?
Are those commands I put into cmd?

I hope you really state that a full wipe is NECESSARY to prevent issues like SD card read failure and many other preventable bugs. Tired of reading bugs complaints from people dirty flashing. People don't realize its a brand new build and it makes sense to start fresh

Thanks for the tip. Had been having these issues and reporting it as a bug as well until I was told a full wipe was needed.
Help!

See if "fastboot devices" lists your device. If not, drivers may not be configured correctly.

Download windroid toolkit 3.1. Get token. Go to htcdev. Register there if u havent already. Then scroll to the last point where you have to paste the token. Flash twrp. Flash supersu. You are done
Anyone got a link? And thanks in advance
