Yes, me happy without all the verizon ****ware.Ditto, the more you read and the more you understand what is going on (it takes time, took me over 4 hours to read everything till I was comfortable, even watched 2 videos) - that's the key to success. Now I'm in heaven with a rooted thunderbolt getting insane battery life
So how did it end up for you?
Congratulations! And I agree with you, I rooted several D1 and a D2 and they were nothing compared to the white knuckles I had rooting the TB. Is it worth the sweat, yes, and there's actually some nice ROM's and themes out for it too.:icon_ banana:

What did you do to remove the bloatware?

I used Root Explorer to remove the APKs (System/Apps folder) in the stock rom then I installed Das BAMF 1.3.2 which has all the Verizon bloatware removed by default. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/thunderbolt-roms/138140-rom-4-2-2011-das-bamf-1-3-2-a.html
