[ALL IN ONE] The HTC Thunderbolt Tool!

[Regulator]

So does this utility unroot and flash a completely stock image with S-ON?

Also that site isnt letting me dl

 

[trter10]

It does restore S-ON.

And the tool is broken until 8/25.

 

[Regulator]

Due to hosting issues? Can you upload it do a different site?

 

[trter10]

Its where the tool gets files from

As an admitted noob can I still receive OTA updates after using this to root?

 

[wallstreet123456]

I too am a noob when it comes to rooting. This will be my first attempt. Once I root using this tool will I need to do anything else or can I just use the phone as is. I ask because I see people talking about roms and I am not sure if there is another step I need to do after using this tool.

Also, supposedly HTC is releasing ICS soon. If I wait until after this update installs will this tool still work or might there be issues runing it?

Thanks,
Steven

You dont need to install a rom, its just an option.
And if you wait until after ICS comes out this tool may no longer work.

WHAT IS UP LADIES AND GENTLEMEN it is currently 2:20 AM and the ThunderboltTool v1.0.0 IS DONE

Months of hard work have finally paid off! The new version brings:

-Made EVERYTHING compatible with recovery mode!!!
(This does not include the recovery menu sadly)
-Made 4eXT the "standard" recovery!!!
-****COMING SOON****: Redid the entire recovery
menu, now has many
functions like backup, restore, and install.
-Detects if su binary is or non-existent and gets
version
-Gets android version for menu
-Phone not connected and waiting for recovery
prompts no longer flicker
-Redid unrooter screen
-Many text edits in rooter
-Removed exit options from menus, simply hit enter
on the main menu to exit
-Auto detects correct push of Stock RUU in unrooter
-No "error: device not found" if the phone is not
connected on tool startup
-No "error: device not found" on some "Waiting for
recovery"s.
-The word enter is no longer capatilized.
-Gets zip.exe and A .bat that packages the logs in
a folder
-Added stability to make sure files are not corrupt
-Cleaned up the code a lot with FOR /F
-Many edits to menus
-An erroneous key input in a menu no longer crashes
the tool
-Startup is cleaner
-Now sets PATH to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 at startup to
avoid any "'XX' is not recognized as an internal
or external command, operable program or batch
file." errors. But I run SETLOCAL so I don't mess
with the user's real path settings
-Can now detect a phone in fastboot but has no
major functionality as of yet
-Now starts revolutionary website in default
browser (Fixes not found error IE is disabled)
-Opens BusyBox app by Stephen (Stericson)
(pname:stericson.busybox) rather than manually
installing busybox
-Checks for leaked ICS radios and if they are found
downgrades user to older ones
-Waits for a full boot if the phone is in the boot
process
-Fixed bug where some redirects to %log% would wipe
out the entire log
-Reset tool option in extras menu

You guys should never have an issue with the tool again! (If you do, contact me! I'm always open to help!)

I hope you guys enjoy it!

I have updated the file at the main download link. By the way, we have reached OVER 9000 DOWNLOADS!!!!!!!

You guys rock.

As soon as i can scrap up $35 (I'm $35 short ), I'll be moving on to the nexus 4, but the tbolt will definitely stay on my desk
If you'd like to help me out with that, I'd love you forever


WOOHOO!

I believe it worked! Let's see what I can do now... :hail:

Command prompt got stuck at "flashing recovery over fastboot..." and upon reboot I got stuck with the red triangle. How do
I tell if it worked?

Pull the battery and restart. Then re run the tool and install su

ICS update

Hi, trter10. Before I try to do this, I was just curious whether the recent OTA Ice Cream Sandwich update could possible pose any problems since the firmware changed along with it?

I'd appreciate your input before I go on. Thanks!

 

[mikec557]

Good question. ICS was loaded on my TB by OTA. Would love to root and roll back the phone to gingerbread. Wondering the same thing, can I use this to root with?

Thanks
Mike

Tool for rooting is useless as of now. There is another root method in the works IIRC(may be done by now) do a quick google of tbolt ICS root.
