Has anyone and i mean anyone found out a way to root the damn thunderbolt yet? I need some major help with this issue and it would be much and i mean much appreciated. I have spent many hours trying to get this phone rooted and nothing seems to work i have prob tried everybody rooting method out there. Im actually doing this for one of my family members and it really sucks to be him because he bought the phone first thing to be done was the root and i cant find a way to do it so if anybody has found a way PLZZ help. Phone is on 2.11.605.5 I dont know if u have to downgrade or what has to done.
Have you tried the revolutionary method? If you are in fact still at 605.5 it will work.
A quick Google search will turn that up for you.
I tried searching the forums but couldn't find anything specific to my device. Can someone please point me in the right direction to root a: HTC-6435LVW? It is running Android 4.1.1
Basically my question is what software should I use to root it & what ROM image should I load on it?

Hello everyone i have a rooted sgh-1337m, it is currently on 4.2.2, what steps do i need to take to get to 4.4.2, do i unroot first and then ota update then root again, or is there a more efficient way. Sorry if this comes across as a "dumb" question im new to this android stuff. thank you very much please be as detailed as possible. Thanks!
Hi guys,
I understand there is no straight forward procedure on how to root 5.0.2 currently and we would have to revert back to 4.4.4 and flash the stock Lollipop.
I guess my question would be is has anyone already tried to use the guide in this link?
I found it posted here in xda somewhere but I can't seem to find it again.
Highly appreciated if you can post your feedback.
Thanks!
I am in need of root since I am hating on how Lollipop sounds in my earphones and would like to use V4A.
Okay, I admit, this website indimidates the hell out of me. I'm tech savy and not afraid to mess with things, but the level of new terminology here is staggering.
Anyway, now that you know I'm a wimp: I have a SGP561 Xperia Tablet Z2 from Verizon with Lollipo 5.0.2. I want to root it in order to install custom fonts on Photoshop Touch as I'm living abroad and using my tablet as my main computer while the beast lives back home.
I tried to use the Easy Root Tool but it failed. I assume this is because my firmware is too new and not exploitable as of yet, which means I have to downgrade I believe. I have found some files for flashing (?) but they aren't for the SGP561 specifically - does that matter? All I found were these for Xperia Z2 (not the tablet Z2?)
So, in the easiest language possible, can someone please give a step by step on how to downgrade my SGP561 to a rootable firmware and then flash (?) back to the latest firmware and keep root?
Please, please, please, and thank you.
Bump?
This site is frustrating as hell. Mods are quick to lock noob threads without offering help, and you're not allowed to ask questions in the areas where anyone who knows the friggin answer would ever be anyway! I have a rooted z3V running lollipop, etc, so I'm sort of familiar with the process. But developments had been made where rooting became easier.
I've been wading through endless threads filed with outdated crap trying to figure out how the hell to root my z2 tablet for 3 weeks. None of the way this stuff has been written makes ANY sense.
I'm on 5.02, and want root and dual recovery. Should be simple, right?
I don't even know where to ask the damned question anymore. I've downloaded virus filed $#!+ on my computer, thoroughly screwing it up, TWICE now, only to find I probably didn't even need that file. -Or do I? Download links are so old they don't go anywhere. Can't tell what's what here.
Even this thread ; a WEEK OLD, and no help.

You said it dude. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I'm pretty deflated right now and demoralized.
If I ever figure it out, I'll hunt you down and let you know. If you do, please do the same.
Regards.
Seems that you guys are looking for a quick and easy fix, but i dont think that there is one. The method that I used is found in this thread.

I followed those steps in that link. It didn't work for me.
I could not downgrade to 17.1.D.0.437. The device was either in reboot cycle or in the status of in-completed flashed after I flashed the firmware ftf file provided in that post. I had to flash the latest firmware to restore the tablet. I was glad I didn't bricked my tablet.
