hi guys! I am in desperate need of assistance. I am on vacation and my internet connection is absoutely horrible. I need to root my htc thunderbolt so I can start using the wifi tether app. I have read and read and read some more and watched several videos. My problem is not the rooting part. I have flashed firmware before and rooted once before some time ago. I can follow directions very easily. I do not know which files to download to root my phone. There are so many and I dont want to download old versions. my android version is 2.3.4
my sense version is 2.1
my software is 2.11.605.5
please either tell me which root file is the best or post a link. I will appreciate it very much. Happy Holidays
Use revolution to root...it has all the files u need to help root

now i have downloaded ICS_NBv8 build3.zip
can i run the file the same way as i did previously or do i have to take any other precuations?
please suggest and help
i dont understang the CM7 and all that stuff.
I go into recovery so I'm not sure about your method but what I can say is..... you're trying to install ics passion right? There's a version 10 out so go download that and install it. It'll most likely be better then the version you're trying to install

thanks for the quick reply , but could you please send me the link for downloading verion 10.?

Please read everything very carefully...also for passion ICS (since V.8) you need gingerbread bootloader...
please read the installation process several tomes if you are not sure ask, or don't flash at all...you might brick your phone otherwise!

So, you've been a member for almost 4 years, and you don't know how to flash through recovery, OR how to search a forum for a rom?

Hey guys, i got my atrix earlier this morning and have been trying to root and unlock the device. While unlocking the devices was easy thanks to this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
got got to the end of it and my atrix says unlocked when it boots up which is great but i can't seem to root the devices i have tried a lot of the thread here, i won't be able to fix the ram problem without root .Could anyone help me out?
As far as i know there is no direct rooting method for 2.3.6 yet, ideally you would have been better off rooting 2.3.4 and using OTA Rootkeeper and then updating to 2.3.6. Shouldn't be long before someone comes out with a root method for your version.
hmm so i'm stuck with this for now? i came from a rooted milestone so i don't really know but i can't flash any rom for now right?
After a little surfing the guys down in Brazil claim to be rooting their Atrix phones running 2.3.6 using the SuperOneClick method i'm not sure if you've tryed it yet but it's worth a shot.

If you can't find a working SuperOneClick download link there's this one:

Edit: As for the installing of custom ROMs without root i'm not to sure about that sorry.
thanks a lot i'll try if it works
Edit: it seems that it is working you just made my day even better
edit 2: i got superuser installed but i can't seem to be able to delete/rename the install-recovery.sh as stated in the guide' i'll try to see what is wrong
edit 3: i am rooted and titanium back up works i'll take a break and figure out the rest later thanks again
Try using the root explorer in the ROM Toolbox app, supposedly some file explorers will not give you the proper access levels to delete or rename the files correctly. Read that in tayshun12's thread:

GREAT it workeD cwm is working now and the ram fix is there i suppose ( i got about 500mb free annd around 200mb used THANKS AGAIN

Hello Hello!
Okay so i am new to the forum and i hope im posting this to the right place! so i am not a total noob to this type of stuff but i recently got the Atrix 4G and am having a HECK of a time doing what i need (not sure if i will get shut down, but in short i want to be able to use the wifi hot spot tethering running on straight talk)
i have read through post after post and have tried every variation on this site and about 3 others for root my phone but none seem to work... It is my understanding that i need to unlock the boot loader in order to root this phone but all of the boot loader unlocks dont work.
Here is my phone info:
Model: MB860
Android: 2.3.6
Kernel verson: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: 4.5.141
if anyone is willing and capable i will be very appreciative of any help!
Rooting is for getting extra access to your phone that require such rights to do so. Unlocking is needed for installing custom ROMS.
If you are looking for a way to root your phone, then check out "Doomlord's method". I don't have the link handy, but just Google "Doomlord root Atrix" and take the first result...

The best way..works also on 2.3.6

Ok, So I updated my phone via Kies and got the official ICS update (Finally) for my AT&T Galaxy Note, Problem is, as expected... it unrooted my phone and I'd like it rooted again, I want to keep the new official stock ICS rom and just want it rooted again to delete all that garbage bloatware to keep my phone sharp, any help?
Do i just re-root it doing it the same way I did before?
Will it ruin my new ICS rom?
Can anyone link me to the files that will root my phone but keep the ICS Stock Rom?
I didnt have a single problem Rooting it the first time on ginerbread, but Im not sure what will happen with a different official rom installed. Just dont wanna have to reinstall ICS again or something, when I just spent about an hour setting it back to how I had everything, then remembered updating unrooted me.
Any advice or help is really appreciated!
Thanks!
Not really in right section more like a Q&A section.
However the devs need a little time to sort through all the code but these guys are smart and root will come soon and they will proudly announce it. Just enjoy for now.

I just odined the cwm .tar and then flashed the superuser .zip (both can be found in the general section, just do a search) and I'm rooted on the official update.

My links....look for gnote page...
ok so just do odin again liek i did before?
And I hope im not asking too much, but can anyone link me to the files I need directly? The last ones I used was from a source outside of XDA (xda was down for maintenance) and I think it gave me a virus on my computer and after doign a system restore today i dont wanna do that again lol. so if its not a problem can someone link me to the right files i need?
Thanks everyone!
Yes.
Now look one post above your last one.
To see the links Mr. Joe is referencing you need to be on a pc.
To install CWM you need to be on a pc.
To root you need a pc.
Mr.Joe would only post trusted links.

I successfully updated my Note to ICS yesterday and want to root it again as well. I looked through the Note section in BigJoe's thread, but can't figure out exactly what files I need. I rooted it with Gingerbread without issue. I've looked through the unlocking/rooting section and the one thread that explains how to root specifically says that the method will NOT work with the official ICS update.
Sorry to sound so dense, but could someone link exactly which files I/we need to root the official ICS via Odin?
What you asked for is in the third post.

ps that odin3 file doesnt work just gives a random script window then force closes
All, I am a noob to this and could really use the help. Everything seems so convoluted.
I just returned my phone to AT&T because of some issues.I was able to root that one without an issue. However they now provided another phone with ICS on it. I don't want to install a ROM or change the kernel. Just want to use the AT&T software and have it come up the same way just rooted. I saw the GalaxyS2Root.com site but it changes the kernel to Siyah an load up screen picture is different.
I want to have the ability to load titanium back up and freeze the tethering program so I can tether my tablet.
Once again I just want a simple rooting program with minimal but detailed steps. I appreciate any assistance that you pros can give me.
Forever in your debt!!
Thanks

Dont go to galaxys2root and read the damn stickies. Cmon man!
I wish I could update the how to root guide in the stickies, but I'm not the original poster and the original poster has been gone from the forums since before Christmas. For what you want, use Odin to flash stock ICS plus root, which you can find in the development section, probably on the 2nd page.
