So I have a Thunderbolt, got it the first day that it came out. Made the decision that I would stick with stock until I'd had enough of it.
Long story short, my boyfriend got the EVO 3D, and rooted it within the week. Naturally I got jealous.
So here's my dilemma, I found the [Updated: 3/26]Easyroot + S-Off [Version 1.6.3.11] root, but I forgot that I had updated my software.
I did a factory reset hoping that it would reverse the update, but apparently I lost all of my information for no reason, because [news flash] it didn't work!
I guess my question now is... What are my options?
Am I screwed and stuck with stock now?
Will there be a new root developed for {stupid-people-who-updated-their-software} like me?
Is there an updated root already out there that I can try?! <~ I've been looking with no sucess!
Please help me!!!!
{{{{&& for those of you who are experienced.. I have been searching the forums for 2 days and I found a post about EVO's, but not Thunderbolt. So I'm sorry if you have managed to see a post with this type of question before. I did try the [Updated: 3/26]Easyroot + S-Off [Version 1.6.3.11] root, but nothing happens. & I didn't know where else to look.}}}
I don't think there has been a new root method for the updated RUU.
So I do believe your out of luck for now.

That is exactly what I did NOT want to hear
Jcase's manual root method works on ever OTA out there. It's easy too. If you have any questions about it, just hit me up. I'd be happy to help.
Thanks loonatik78 -- i sent you a pm!

Please.... No.... I don't like saying "told ya so" when it doesn't work and "you're own your own now" when people that used that ask for help.
Maybe but they will try anyway. Then you can't help them.

I already tried the easy AND 1 click root.. both didn't work, which is y I decided to ask for help on here.
I just wanted to know if there is a way to uninstall the manufacturer's update or if there is a Rom out that works for 1.7 something software... Not run around in circles on the same easy root that I already know won't work bc it says that version 1.2... And lower will work.

My wife is planning to get a T-Bolt pretty soon and without knowing what 'version' of s/w it will have when it arrives, you're saying 'no worries'. If she wants it rooted (our Eris' have been rooted since the exploit for it was available -- jcase was involved too !), I can use the manual (command-line) method in his sticky thread ?

Current rooting methods (manual preferred) will work fine for any stock officially released firmware because it's all still unpatched Froyo so the exploit used still works.
The only time in the future that this will stop working is when the Gingerbread OTA rolls out.
Reason I ask is I am positive I've read from others who've gotten T-Bolts and mistakenly allowed a s/w update, presumably OTA, and now they can't root.
Is GB being pushed to a small # of phones, by chance ?

Nope. User error on their part. They probably tried one of the auto-root scripts and then blamed it failing on the OTA.

I completely agree. Many of the rooting scripts out there are either out of date or use obsolete exploits. The OTA back in April, I think it was, required new exploits be used. Jcase has been on that like white on rice and I'm going to say this community stands strongly behind jcase and the method he's outlined. It has the best success rate, without question. Plus, everyone always says its much easier than it looks. If setting up the SDK or ADB is confusing, we are always glad to help too.

and this is true!!! because last night my new friend loonatik helped me step by step root my phone! and now i LOVE my gingeritis!
my phone was updated [by me when the update first came out] to version 1.70.something.. and i was still able to do a root. it was manual, but considering i had no idea what i was doing.... once i got going with it the task seemed less daunting.

Okay, my wife got the Thunderbolt yesterday and within minutes of activating it, it prompted us for a s/w update, in the 73.xx mb range in size. I don't know what s/w version it's currently on and I kept rejecting the update. I need to remind her to do the same -- hopefully it's not too late. Or, is there no harm in taking the update ?

There's no harm in updating, but there's no point if you plan on rooting it. Part of the rooting method will wipe everything and reset it to an earlier software version. You'll then have to update(Using ROMs from here, not the OTA) to a newer version to catch up to the latest release or whatever ROM you choose to run. You're better off rooting now, then worrying about updates.
hello, with last night gingerbread leak many of us unrooted users or myself a rooted user who was to lazy to download the rooted verison because the download link was broken. are now stuck with know way of going back. now not everyone cares about beeing stuck but my self and others miss out of the option to root i personaly miss my bamf asop rom that i was falling in love with. from what i gather we are in a holding pattern at the moment i was wondering if any of the great devs over here had attempted or mad any progess in rooting this last leak or if we have found a method to role back to mr2 so we could root that. any insight would be appricated
Didn't alpharev and unrevoked just release a new method that works with the tbolt? I know they released its a beta, but it works on the inc2 with gb
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA App
i dont think that will work for the tbolt
Before saying it won't work on TBolt try it out. Also I believe it does work. I'm not sure if it will work with this new leak but it works on the TBolt from what I've seen.
i do apolgize the post went out before it was finished and because im new to this fourm i have to wait 5mins before making any changes. i would love to try it its worth a shot can someone post me a link and ill report back if it works
this is exactly why i do not install leaked radios or leaked shipped ruu's.
I know it works on the Inc 2 and I'm almost positive that it included the tbolt in the list of devices when your downloading the beta code. It allows you to root the shipped gb on the Inc 2, may work on this version of gb as well.

just trade your TBolt for an LG Revolution. everyone says that one's the best.
Just go over to the Inc 2 forum here on xda and in general section there should be a thread about rooting gb.

The Revolution and AlphaRevX sites appear to be down for the time being, so even if it does work, it won't without being able to obtain a key for the beta release through the website.
Assuming you still have S-off and a recovery, i.e. you didn't flash the RUU, all hope isn't lost. However if you did, I'm glad I'm not you at the moment.

rooting on gingerbread is pretty much the same process as before, just subbing out psneuter for fr3vo.
I GOT ROOT WOHO thanks to all xda is a amazing place
This is why I would encourage everyone who is rooted to install that hard patched hboot in the dev forum and this problem wouldn't exist. Also not flashing RUUs carelessly Helps but I digress. The only problem with the patched hboot is getting back to s-on is a bit harder. You have to use fastboot with a special command to flash an s-on hboot. Personally I think everyone who is rooted should learn how to use fastboot and ADB anyway but once again digressing. (prob not a real word LOL)
As far as fixing the issue hopefully the Revolutionary tool will still work on that build just have to check the hboot version. If not, as stated previously replacing psnueter with frEVO in the original downgrade process should work.
Edit: sorry a little late I suppose.

If by revert to 2.17 with all features working (data, calls, 4g) then yeah we've been able to do that, unless you've reverted the VM lockscreen, SystemUI dropdown, and dailer banner, then It's been done.

There are some people with additional issues, though it's difficult to tell if the issues are from trying to fix the banner in various ways or the firmware itself.
That said, some of us need to fix this banner issue. I personally intend to sell this phone very soon in order to fund my Evo 4G LTE. Sell price will obviously be hurt if the thing shows Virgin mobile.
I mean.....It's fairly easy to get back to 2.17 software especially if you are s-off.
The difficulty comes with getting rid of the Virgin Mobile banner and reverting the PRI. Then there's the intermittent 3G issues, and possible Wimax problems as well.

While I would tend to agree normally for things like ROMs and kernels; this is a little different. People are currently replacing their phones over this issue. If he has truly fixed the problem, having this thread before he can get the full guide together and post it up as well as sort out any testing may stave off some of those people from getting rid of their 3d...that said...it probably could have been done in the other thread.

Either he never flashed the firmware with the radio part or he is full of it when it comes to removing the Virgin Banners. I can believe he downgraded to 2.17. I have tested this multiple times. I broke my data once, and successfully recovered it. I am hoping for Unknownforce and Freeza to save the day. I donated my radio partition to Unknownforce which I am sure others have done so too.
Please close this thread and let keep the other one going, or at least merge it.

Hello XDA, long time lurker, first time poster. Thank you for all the info over the years
OK, here's where I'm at, after being without my rezound for several months due to broken screens I finally got off my butt and fixed it. I rooted and flashed the phone a long time ago and reading up again I have no idea what I should be doing in order to get the latest stuff. hboot, radios, etc. To prove how long its been I flashed CleanROM 4.3 using the old/new firmware patch...lol I never even installed the factory OTA ICS.
so my questions are...
Do I relock the phone and flash the Original image and let the update process go as Verizon intended then start from scratch?
Do I bite the bullet and do S-Off to make the update process easier?
I'm pretty rusty with the processes. I appreciate any help pointing me to the correct process to take, I'm just confused since I'm so far behind lol.
Thanks

Personally what i would do, is relock your phone and update to the latest radios for s-on which you can find here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250494&page=4 and its under post 35 then follow the instructions on post 59 of same thread
then load up a amon ra which you can download from post 2 on this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070947
I dont see the need for s-off, i can do everything that i need to do with s-on with that extra layer of security i guess. But some ppl love the s-off, so if you wanna try that, then i say go ahead, it would def make it a billion times easier to update to the latest and greatest
Thanks for the fast reply!
Sounds easy enough reading the links. I think I may have been over complicating it in my head with all the reading I've done the last couple days since fixing my phone back up. Going to give it a go tomorrow morning when I have some free/quiet (no kids!)

Yeah, thats easy to do. Its really not as complicated as it may sound, and maybe 30 mins TOPS of your time if that from start to finish. The longest parts would be the flashing of everything. Good luck with everything
Good to hear I'm really looking forward to trying out some new ROMS. I flashed the current one and never bothered with it again just because I had some issues getting that one to work. Was OK after I applied the old/new firmware patch. Then a couple weeks later the OTA update for ICS was released, did a little bit of reading on that but just ended up deciding not to mess around lol. Now my wife's Rezound is behaving better than mine since she left hers stock and I'm jealous lol.
Looks like I have to sign into HTCdev again to get an unlock token since I lost all my login info lol. Gonna have to set up all the ADB stuff too since I lost the WIndows VM I originally unlocked it with lol.

yea, there has been alot of dev for the rezzy now. a bunch of JB roms and other great stuff, Neo, Shrike, Chad and others but not sure off hand have all done amazing work and worked hard getting us JB AOSP roms and stuff. My phone has never run better.
Welcome to the forums btw
I will admit I was surprised to see so much new dev after coming back. when I first started messing with my rezzy I was kinda sad about the lack of ROMS and kernels available, I didn't even see a CM ROM out for it. Most likely due to coming from an original droid that had dozens of options lol. But I'm stoked to see all the new stuff. I wanna say I read here somewhere that the dev kinda stalled out while waiting for HTC to leak/update to ICS. Prolly gonna jump right into JellyBean once I'm where I need to be, the link to the Infection ROM looks smexxy!

Phone was having horrible battery life, me thinking since the phones been sitting for a few months I would do full charge, boot into recovery and wipe the battery stats and see how it goes. Well after the wipe and reboot Im getting the horrid boot loop haven't changed anything since the first initial boot after flashing the ROM, other than deleting the images I flashed the ROM with from the sd card. I'm not sure how it could have got borked.
any ideas?

First was to reflash 2.5
Some have also tries the boot.IMG from 2.4 it seems that it has fix it for some and not others. If it hasn't fixed the problem people are jumping back to 2.4. Worse case I have a clean backup from a fresh install. I could upload that to my db and send you a link. You could try flashing that as well.

Yes, flashed the latest global radios. Confirmed by looking at the wifes stock phone lol. Quick question, where is the DL link to the 2.4 IMG? only seeing the 2.5 over at http://androidrevolutions.com/neo/files/ gonna try and move the boot.IMG to the sd card from the work PC, may or may not work since they have them locked down pretty tight but I'm gonna at least try.

yepz, exactly as your screencap
OK, so I haven't posted much in this forum in general because I haven't had a need to really. I find what I need read and move on. But because of that I can't post in the developer section to ask this question before I flash this ROM so I will ask it here. So I'm going to take the plunge and flash Newts NOS m7 ROM. But after reading about 60% of a 949 page thread I do have some confusion. There were some updates and patches I'm going to call them for a lack of better term. I don't need to run any type of beast mode kernel. So what patches or fixes do I need to add in order for everything to work on this ROM? And I'm choosing this one over the alpha Sense 5 ROM based on data working with Verizon and not working with the alpha. At least nothing has been posted that it's working in all aspects now. I appreciate the help and hope that I can be rocking the NOS rom by tonight before I go to bed.
Really? No help out of 60 views?

If you install the full rom, you don't need any of the patches.
Well I have the full app plus a couple of the other downloads that are mentioned to have off the bat. But has the ROM download been updated with the patches that fix stuff? Thank you for your response by the way.

3.0.7 is the only thing you need to have as of today it contains everything, patches are minor small updates and newtoroot usually will tell you what patch you need when they are released.

So you are saying that the kernel patch, the call patch, and the other patch are all included in the 3.0.7 build and I shouldn't worry about them even though people are having issues with the ROM in certain areas such as what the patches fix? I'm asking for clarification because I can't afford to screw up my one and only phone. Besides Viper Rom this Nos 7 Rom seems to be the best out there for what I want until the update comes out. This is me being cautious and doing my research. I don't want to sound like a jerk. Just trying to have everything lined up right.

Again.... just install the full rom. All is included.. Don't see how you could be confused with that statement.

All you really need to worry about if it says full Rom or not. If it is a full Rom flash it after that there is nothing else to do.

Thanks for the help. I should just take the plunge but like I said before I'm just trying to do all the research that I need and to be as well read on it before I just jump into something. I'm not a first time rooter or flasher of ROM's. This one just has me timid because even the latest posts in the thread of the ROM is saying there are data issues. So I hope you can see where my concern is coming from. I'll flash it tomorrow and see what happens from there though.
OK, so I just took the plunge and did the flash. One problem I have right off the bat is that Gmail keeps closing and failing. I can't have that because all of my most important e-mails come in thru that. So is there a fix or do I just have to go back to stock?

Never heard of that issue. I would just re-wipe and re-install the rom.

Did you even wipe data or did you just install the rom and hope that you wouldn't have to do anything about your already installed apps?
Seriously??!! Oh just install the ROM it's totally fine. Yeah well it's not fine. GMAIL is broke and I HAVE TO HAVE IT WORK!! Come on people help me out!!

You won't get any help if you don't tell us what you did..... I have never heard of ANY rom that gmail doesn't work.
and YELLING AT PEOPLE DOESN'T HELP EITHER.
Well, it wasn't meant to come out as yelling. And I didn't do anything but install the ROM just like everyone kept telling me to do. Oh and the weather on the lock screen is broke too. It always says no weather data available.
Well nothing like feeling even more of an ass. I never saw the replies I had already gotten from you guys. I guess my page wouldn't refresh. I'll wipe it and re flash it on I guess. I did all the stuff I needed to do before flashing it so I"m in the clear on that one. I'm not sure as to what all the extra apps that I've never seen before are but I'm ok with that for now. Oh, um isn't there suppose to be a swipe screen to wake feature on this ROM? I can't find it.
So G-mail is back to working now. I reflashed the ROM and did a cache and dalvik cache wipe. I also did the lock screen patch and volume to wake patch. I still don't have weather on the lock screen though. And the little click sounds that are turned on for me for when I unlock or lock the screen....yeah I can't hear them.
So, everything works now. Go figure....well minus those sounds that for some reason I actually really really liked having turned on before I flashed this. Maybe they will just start working again too.

So, in other words, all of your problems were self inflicted.
Do the flashing process properly next time and you won't have these issues.
Nope not self inflicted. I did the flash exactly the way I was suppose to. Not sure why flashing it a second time worked but it did. Now to figure out how my nanddroid back up got deleted.....or if it's just hidden and I don't know where it is. I use TWRP recovery by the way.
