***Updated*** Easy Root Available. 3 step process

[jhov81]

After flashing hbooteng.nb0 in step two it is now pushing pg05img.zip, does this sound right? the pdf say After flashing hbooteng.nb0 it should restart

 

[jhov81]

Okay just did step two again followed the instructions in the pdf, rebooted turn back on usb debugging, click on step three and it immediately said congrats i have a rooted tbolt with s-off. Went to rom manager and got the error message when tried to fix permission.

still not working, i have no clue what is going on? My phone seems to be working fine just cant get root access

I Had same issue start from step 2, after that entire process restart the exe. Then step 3, repeat the 3rd step until your phone reboot. You will need to unplug and replug each time u restart step 3

I had to unplug and plug in the TB for step 3 like 4 or 5 times.....you are there.....

if you do step 3 and the phone doesn't reboot....keep doing it until it does....

did it like 3 times and it finally worked. thanks everybody for the help

I had lots of issues running this, I had to re-run step 2 several times before it worked correctly. Make sure USB debugging is always on as well.

Now i have root i want to get rid of all the bloat but i dont want to flash a rom yet. I backed up all my apps with titanium backup. Can i just delete or freeze the unwanted apps via titanium or do i need another app to delete them?

 

[Capt.D]

I would freeze them...I have know of issues in the past deleting them...you can delete them with Root Explorer if you desire...

 

[cnmsales]

I personally use an app called system app remover. You have to be careful with what you delete as it can mess the system up. Just make sure you create a stock backup of your ROM before removing anything. So you can go back to it should something get messed up.

UGHHH dont know what the hell just happened... I had to unplug and restart the program couple of times throughout the process... but I managed to get through everything... Step 3 came and phone DID restart.
the program said You now have a fully rooted Thunderbolt with S-OFF. Congradulations!

yet I DONT have root access???

so frustrated it whiped all my stuff for NO root access

Try step 3 again. Mine flipped through step 3 so fast and all I caught was the you are rooted thing. Super user requests were errors so I unplugged the phone, made sure debug and charge only were on and ran 3 again. Ran really fast again and reported my phone, and boom, I'm rooted
