Thunderbolt Rooting problem

[wascapsfan]

After reading the forums, I may have something new.
I was following the tutorial step by step when I got to the bootloader.
I hit the bootloader but nothing happened. I wiped the entire slate clean on the thunderbolt, which basically formatted everything other than my 32gb card.
OK. I start all over again by downloading PG05IMG_Downgrade (935 MB) It stated about 460MB but downloaded 935mb. Also redownloaded exploits.zip and PG05IMG.zip (399.38MB) Got through 2 steps until I added adb shell. It pulled up a # sign instead of a $ sign. Also, the bootloader screen wont come up on the Thunderbolt. I've done this numerous times and still no $ sign....only the #.
adb does recognize my phone
Please advise!!

Ok im confused as to where you are? Are these the steps you have completed so far?

Step 1

adb push psneuter /data/local/
adb push busybox /data/local/
adb push misc.img /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/busybox

Thanks for the reply. The very next step adb shell should give me a $ sign but it gives me a # sign instead.

What happens when you run the next command

/data/local/psneuter

What happens when you run the next command

/data/local/psneuter

The system cannot find the path specified.
iot goes back to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>

Thats odd Im not sure what you have going on with it.

The previous command puts the file there

adb push psneuter /data/local/

try using the 3 step method or the one step method.....

may work for you better

tried the 3 step and I have the boot screen but it isn't asking me to upgrade.HBOOT is highlighted
and my choices are fastboot,recovery,factory reset,simlock,hboot usb,and image crc

Thats a windows error. Sounds like you are running "/data/local/psneuter" from the windows command prompt and not the adb shell prompt

This is what I run....C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools> adb shell and it pulls up a # sign when the directions say $ sign.
It worked the first time but when I had a problem later - I put the phone back to day 1 and now when I do what it states, I get the # sign which is wrong. It's asking for a $ sign

 

[robdec17]

If you are already at the # prompts try running the next command

adb shell
/data/local/busybox md5sum /data/local/misc.img

Awesome. it got me to step 4. I did what it said and changed the PG05IMG download to PG05IMG.zip and sent it to my sd card.
Then I loaded adb reboot bootloader and it was basically accepted and it turned my phone screen to bootloader. I hit the power button on top of my Tbolt and now I get a choice of FASTBOOT,RECOVERY,FACTORY RESET,HBOOT USB, or IMAGE CRC. It's just sitting there doing nothing because I didn't select anything after bootloader.
Any advice??

 

[robdec17]

if the file PG05IMG.zip is in the root of the SD card it should start loading it automatically after the boot.

 

[wascapsfan]

I showed it going into the sd card in the phone. It was over 900 mb and took about 5 minutes to load. Nothing is happening now though.
I just have the options on my phone that I last posted. I still haven't made a choice. it flashed very quickly when I hit bootloader but only gave me options spoken in the last post.

 

[wascapsfan]

it has never asked me to upgrade!
