Does anyone think they be a method to root with the version I currently have ?
BRING ON ICS!!!!!!
I don't think there's any right now. Somebody else posted a thread about it in the Thunderbolt Hacks section explaining how unsuccessful was his attempt
Should you root? From some things you've said I would say no. I've been rooted for a while now. I ran bamf forever exclusively and it is an excellent, stable rom. Now I am on thundershed 1.3. I rooted not to improve my phone but for the challenge and amusement. Every time I try a new rom its like starting over on a new phone. I enjoy that but it's not for everyone...and you do risk bricking your phone. I hold my breath every time I flash a new rom.
If you want to spend hours fooling with your phone for the challenge and the fun and are willing to risk the money then go for it. If you just want the phone to work stick with stock. I like the "look" of my phone over stock but there isn't a single thing it does that a stock tbolt wont do. I haven't found huge difference in battery life in any rom I've used...and I've used quite a few.
Knowing all that if you want the fun and are willing to devote the time and the risk...
Check this out. I have no idea if it works.

Post this on XDA, and I'll click on "Thanks", because this forum doesn't support that feature.

It does support "like" on the browser. Tapatalk is working on the like system for their app.

Really easy to switch roms. Once you download it and check the md5sum, just boot into recovery, wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. Then format the system partition and flash the zip for the rom you want.
