[Q] somewhat new to rooting - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys, I am somewhat new to rooting. I have rooted the strat, but that was useless as I'm sure you all know. I am trying to root my thunderbolt using the all-in-one tool but when it tries to reboot into recovery, it shows "!" inside a triangle. can anyone help me here?

?? 4.0.4 not sure which one that is

Its ICS, if you go to Santods forum. Infectedrom.com you can find the way there but there's more to it than the all in one. Its a little harder but not much. You do have to make an account to view the forums though, but that's not really a hindrance.

you need to unlock your bootloader before anything, you can do that at htcdev.com

Thanks!! Excellent referral! Just wish I could find a simple link like that for roms...lol

Help with old radio

I need a link that I can download the pg05img.zip file that my thunderbolt had before the new ruu update. I think it was .6 or .0023 or something . My phone ran so much smoother with it. Also I was running the perfect storm v1.3 and had a kernel from ziggy .(1.7) that I cannot find now from his website. I have been looking forever and finally I thought id ask you freaks. Jk . Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks . Oh and I searched every where to find it I'm just scared of losing in route because I rooted this phone the hard way having to install adb drivers and shell or whatever. Please help

I agree but it does get a tad irritating. I have been on the boards so long I have begun to ignore it. That link looks correct though.
Do I flash both of these files from hoot? Thanks for the help man some people take this stuff too seriously

Your right I sure did and only because they said I posted on the wrong thread. What are you the xda police?

Yes, put on root of sd card and flash through hboot.
I lost root. Can I get it back without having to do the terminal adb thing?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
The first one you put on here I flashed but my software still said 1.12.605.9
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
The baseband version is the radio, not the software number.
How did you lose root?
Hey man seriously there need to be more ppl on here like you. Huge help. I fn flashed a stock radio apparently that caused me to lose root. I got confused about your post I knew what the first one was but didn't understand why the link to the thread was there. I had been there so many times. I'm getting the numbers confused I think . Do I have to root all over again? Can I flash a new radio from hoot? Thanks again

New HTC dev code?

Had to relock s-on hboot 1.5 long story. After accepting stock ics update can I unlock again? will they give me a new code or is it a one time thing? Didn't save old email.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
You'll get a new code. Just follow the same steps as before.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Best suggestion is to save it to your fastboot file easiest way to save the coffee for later the you should be able to use the same one. I've done every update through the RUU and never gotten a new code. Its been the same since day one.

Just out of curiosity, is it actually a new code or is it just going through the same process? I thought the ID that you had to send in was essentially just a unique ID for the phone itself.

If you carefully follow directions, then it's never really scary.
One click root apps are pretty old now, they don't work on newer devices, so you'll probably have to "get your hands a little dirty" of you want to root

Probably, just don't pay too much. I'd say $15 is MAX, really don't want to get ripped off. Also, make sure you have some sort of "warranty" like if they brick it then they owe you a refund and full price of the tablet

Need Radio / kernal?

Hey guys I've been trying to figure out why my rezound ( after root and s-off) has some crappy signal I have 1 bar and low data service almost everywhere but when I'm outside sometimes even then. From what I can collect its because I never installed a new radio or kernal. I'm not exactly sure what they are though or where to download them. ( sorry it may sound stupid but I'm lost at this point and have given up hope) I also saw something that said a radio is in a kernal. I have cyanogen mod 9 right now with the ics update and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of a kernal/radio good for my phone. I'm computer savy installing it won't be an issue but I'm just lost as to where to get it. I appreciate the help on this.

This might sound stupid, but after taking the battery cover off to do the S-Off trick, did you make sure it was back on all the way? the antenna for the rezound is on the battery cover.
Check your antenna tabs and make sure there are none broken off or damaged.

This here would mean I could just flash the files over right? I believe my phone came with ics. It is s off and all I did was install cyanogen 9 with CWM. Did those flash new firmware? It may sound dumb but I just wanna make sure.

No. You can only flash firmware with a PH98IMG.zip or an RUU.
