[Auto] Root and Unroot for HTC Thunderbolt!

[ANGERisMYgift]

Is this a one click root or is it similar to fryetech's simi- auto root program?

I just downloaded this and read the batch script. It well written and It pretty much does the same thing just written in a batch script instead.. However I haven't tested it..

I'm going to be rooting my brother's thunderbolt tomorrow and was thinking of trying this one, but I think ill stick with your program

DroidXcon here,,,,, thanks fryetech. i have added a couple things to the batch file and and posted a newer version up in my original thread

[Auto] Root and Unroot (Windows)**Updated**4/20 - Android Forums

if you could take a look id appreciate any feed back, the biggest problem i am having is maintaining connection, for some reason peoples connections fall out in the middle of the the process and things wont get written. i think there are multiple instances of adb.exe happening aswell.

So with the latest batch i put commands to kill server . i even have adb devices loop until a connection is made.

i tried to look at your method originally but i had no idea what i was looking at so thats when i decided to write my own.

@ flooritnfly, download sms backup & restore from the market. It's free with a donation button. Works perfectly, runs quick.

Ummmm.....soo.....really stupid question. (But I'd rather ask it then be a moron and screw my TB up).

On the original post page it says the root will wipe all data on TB... How do I back up everything on my phone first? I do not want to lose my apps (well mainly the ones I paid for), contacts, txts, etc. So just a simple copy/paste of the sd card contents to my pc?? Or is there some other/better way?

Any other "prep work" to do before starting the whole process?


Sorry, I just really don't wanna brick this $600 machine. I am tech-savvy, but a rookie with Android (since 3/17/11) and have never rooted before.

There is an app to back up your text messages, can't recall the name but if u do a search I'm sure you'll find it

Does this work with the newly leaked signed update file?

 

[tsitalon1]

I just wanted to say thanks. This worked flawlessly for me. I used ver 2.1

Where do I send donations to?

Glad it helped...Now in case you are wondering why....windows 7 as default hides extensions of known file types...that makes it xxxxxx.zip.zip so it doesn't work....

 

[tsitalon1]

Made a stupid mistake.....

After rooting and installing BAMF 1.5, I accidentilly installed the signed RUU update and of course lost root.

I'm at work and can't try right now, but does anyone know if this auto root method works with the new signed RUU update?

Do I really need the HTC sync drivers? I already have adb set up for my tbolt when I tried and failed the manual root.

Just finished...worked great! Freaked a tiny bit when the HTC logo stayed around too long a couple times, but it all worked flawlessly. Thanks~!

Does this automatically re-install google apps because in prior scenarios in the past with my OGD I always had to include Google apps if I was going to be wiping my data completely; can't reinstall some apps w/o the market.

Do I need to set up ADB before running this?

Will this method work if I am on stock tbolt now and just received the ota software update? Also, when I rooted moto droid x, I wiped it I think, so this isn't much different correct?:icon_ banana: excited to try this.

I am definitely going to give this a try. My tbolt is starting to slow down and seems very buggy lately. The connectivity has been very disappointing ever since the 4g outage I have noticed substantially slower speeds, and it bounces between LTE/EVDO/1xRTT worse than ever before. Was going to wait for Unrevoked to come out with a one click root, but this will work just fine!

Now I just need to find the best rom, kernel combo. I loved cm7 RC 2 with inkredikernel on my droid incredible, so I hope cm launches cm7 stable for the tbolt soon!

This is probably the best root method i have seen for the thunderbolt. Thx a bunch for this and if u can't root with this method then you need to kill yourself
