This thread is full of lulz. Just wanted to say this guy is a classy guy. Stop with the hating please. Its getting a bit untasteful.
[Thunderbolt General] TNS201:
Seriously how hard is this?

0. Install latest HTC Sync

1. Download Files, extract, copy to SD card and others to your ADB tools directory

2. Follow instructions and copy and paste adb commands.

3. Rooted!

I think the problem here really isn't the people who want 1 click vs those who don't but some of the people are just rude and think that they should be entitled to a 1 click method immediately. Its like those douches from Unrevoked took weeks to test 1 click on other phones, so don't get your panties in a bunch if you are waiting weeks to months to root.

Just because you can't follow simple instructions, doesn't mean some dev should bend over backwards to develop a 1 click for you. You people are just not appreciative and want things rushed.

If you can't wait step it up and get insurance on your phone, then try ADB. Seriously its not hard.

Don't listen to that troll who says hes never needed ADB, just because he has never needed it, doesn't mean you never will. Plus learning something new is always a plus.

Keep this thread on topic for collaboration to a possible easier root method. But nothing will be released without Team AndIRC's permissions. OP if you decide you'd rather not continue. Please let me know and I will close the thread.

root for htc thunderbolt

hi

i'm not sure if this is right thread, but i just wanted to say how much i appreciate all developers hard work and time they invested in programs such as z4root or similar to other devices such as htc thunderbolt

i personally can't wait until you guys release it, i'm an it person myself and i've tried rooting my droidx back in the days using adb, since i'm not all knowledgeable in this field it was kind of painful way, but i've done it and then my buddy showed me z4root and how much easier that was :) i was amazed how nice developers made it easy for average joe out there :) thanks a bunch! appreciate all your work! keep it up! and put up a donate button so people can donate a little something for your hard work and sleepless nights!
[Thunderbolt General] jcase:
No one has presented us with a one click that we feel is safe and user friendly. Root on this phone is more "dangerous" than compared to other HTC phones, we wanted to make sure everyone was safe.

No reason I should awake to the PMs and eMails I got this morning.

I was working on getting one done, but after today's b**** fest, don't count on one with my assistace.

However...

Let the flood gates of one clicks open, everyone has my blessing to make one.

Requirements to use files from AndIRC's method.

-credit where credit due, the open source files must be distributed in compliance with their licenses.

-direct donation's in andirc's honor to Boy's and Girl's Club of America, make our donation request ahead of your's in thread/app. (If you have another charity that is worthwhile and related to helping the youth or sick (Japanese relief is ok too), you may direct to that instead of the one I picked).

-Warn, warn warn the users.

-Warn, warn warn the users.

-Warn, warn warn the users.

-Warn, warn warn the users.

-Explain the process, and link to our original post as the source.

-Note while the application uses AndIRC's methods/files, AndIRC had nothing to do with making it, and bears no responsibility for damage from it, and has not tested it or even looked at it.
[Thunderbolt General] magneticzero:
was that so hard? if someone already made a 1 click root using 'your' method... whats the harm in that, there is no difference between that and someone goofing up 'your' method.

not arguing, just wondering why be diffiicult? either way there is a possibilty of bricking your phone, but the 1 click method is less likely for user error.
[Thunderbolt General] ksizzle9:
See what u guys did? Now those of you complaining can blame yourself and grow a sac and root like everyone else. I too want one click.bc i have many friends that would benefit from it. Butim not going o piss of the peole who gave us root to begin with
[Thunderbolt General] jcase:
Because no one has came up with one that any of us feel is 100% safe.
[Thunderbolt General] magneticzero:
neither is your root method 100% fool proof....thats the risk you take in any rooting process
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
I, personally, thank you for your caution and can't understand why folks just don't get it -even the person that consolidated everything into the easier root method stands by your request to not release it and understands that request.

Kudos (god I hate that word) to all that you -and all the devs- do for us here. I'm not a coding type of person, so ADB does intimidate me a little bit - but I am determined to learn something new, learn how and why something works and I'm going to play around w/adb on my Eris before I take the TBolt plunge - just so I feel comfortable.

I know you don't owe us anything, and I think a lot of people on here also know that what you do you do because you enjoy it and you can and not because you feel you have to.

Thank you again! Sorry you had to wake up to this BS fest as you so aptly named it.:D
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
Actually, if you follow the directions -TO THE LETTER- it IS foolproof - they wouldn't have told us how to do it if it wasn't.
[Thunderbolt General] 92slammer:
please dont let the FEW that are *****ing stop any DEV from doing what they do...Myself and im sure 95% of the android community appreciate all that the DEV on this forum do for us...thank you!

now back on topic..please do not rush anything...i would much rather have it 100% and take longer than some half a$$ job that could possibly brick my new device.
[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
Well I for one appreciate Jcase's generosity in allowing other to make apps based on his work. I think folks should remember that when it comes time to donate that there is more than one person that deserves a donation and it starts with Jcase.

I also agree with the posters that say none of these apps should be rushed. Just as long as they are coming at some point is all that matters. I'm personally not even ready to root yet even if it was released today. I like to completely get to know my device first, that way if something is not right I know whether it's the device or something I did to it. :D
[Thunderbolt General] jdposhkus:
+1

Dont push the Devs.

What is the first rule of Cyanogen Mod???

Dont ask for an eta.
[Thunderbolt General] magneticzero:
the 1 click method was already made, has nothign to do with the dev in this case ;)
[Thunderbolt General] jcase:
Exactly correct, however after completing our method the user has the basic idea . Helping him/her recover will now just take a couple minutes.
[Thunderbolt General] jcase:
Nope, it is still risky. Dude was completely right.

Given that, 0 bricks so far with manual method.
[Thunderbolt General] failsaf3:
Anyone from the early Eris community knows jcase and his work (as well as andirc) knows he's not after any glory or donations. If you're not comfortable rooting with the current method then show a little patience- the phone has been released for less than a week. Please don't start driving off developers and ruin this community before it starts.
[Thunderbolt General] Diocrew:
I agree and am enjoying all that is happening right now with the Thunderbolt and Androids. Coming from the first Omnia, I see a lot of the same great devs here as I did for the Omnia.

Great work guys. I can't wait to see what will happen next.
[Thunderbolt General] andrew8806:
Technically source for root is available on the Android Police post. So the devs involved in the root method aren't holding back. The source is there. If you have issues waiting for a one click root or a more simple process then quit complaining and be patient. If users who want to root their phone and do not know how to use ADB or a command line, then in my opinion don't even need root especially if they can't understand what it does and how to use it.
[Thunderbolt General] smoody:
yo jcase, the one's doing the b***'n are the minority here, What about us patient one's waiting for one click?

I joined back in 2008 when I got my vogue, don't post to often but read daily, this is my first real android phone and I for one hope you re-consider your stand on the one click method.

eakrish should have never started this thread, it has been posted that one was in the works, leave it at that or root with current method, simple.
[Thunderbolt General] jaskru:
This is what results after spoon feeding. Heck, the root that was posted is basically copy paste spoon feeding. If you can't understand that then you prob shouldn't be rooting your phone. The people complaining about bricks are usually the ones that don't understand what is happening.

Immense gratitude to those that post basic instructions about how to root with the tools needed and adb commands shown for cut and paste actions.
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
With all due respect to what you're saying ....I *needed* root for my Eris more than I needed just about anything when it came to technology .... that phone used to make me want to throw it through a window on a daily basis (I'm totally NOT kidding, I hated it before 2.++ s/ware). I rooted w/o ADB and flashed and played w/more ROMs than I can remember - rooting and flashing was awesome, I couldn't get a new phone w/o paying full price until just this past Feb. I understand what root is/does (and doesn't) do.

Right now I'd *like* to root my TBolt just to get rid of a lot of the crap that came on it and hopefully get better 4G battery life out of it.

I do understand that there are a lot of folks out there that probably shouldn't even own a smart-phone never mind rooting it :D

(sorry about the chicken)
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
I stand corrected, thank you.

:)
[Thunderbolt General] jcase:
One click coming today or soon, I gave my input in pm.

My advice to you, from what your past experience sounds like, you should have no problem with the original root method. Not only that, when you are done you might come away with some additional knowledge that will help you down the road.

What is that lame old saying? Knowledge = power?
[Thunderbolt General] smoody:
I didn't get a pm from you?

I am pretty confident I could do the current method, I have 3 linux boxes, but scared to mess around with a $700 phone that I just got and can't upgrade from at discount for 2 years.

Thanks for what you guys do
[Thunderbolt General] jcase:
Input to the developer I mean.
[Thunderbolt General] aostl:
Yay!! Been lurking waiting for u to say that. Thank you sir.
[Thunderbolt General] smoody:
This may have been answered but, with the current manual method of rooting, can I un-root as well with that method? for warranty/return issues if they were to arise? I don't plan to use custom roms, I just want to be able to freeze/remove apps and use free wireless tether.
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
Don't try to cover your ass when you are blatantly arguing and stirring up the pot. You are doing more *****ing than anyone else in this thread.

Grow a pair and just learn how to follow the manual method! After all of the time and energy you wasted trolling... you could have a fully rooted TB and maybe know a little more about ADB.

Your complaints are not helping! If anything they will simply discourage developers and hurt the community as a whole. Do not be unappreciative. TeamAndIRC and JCase are both extremely helpful and extremely giving. They give credit where credit is due and are not doing any of this for personal gain (as many people have implied). Hell, where many people would be stepping up to accept personal donations... they are donating to charity and to the good of others!

Completely agree!! :cool:

Thanks for your response! I truly appreciate you addressing the mass of BS and personal assaults... when all you have done is help the community. Thank you for trying to keep us as safe as possible and minimize the risk of bricked devices.

If you would have rushed through the process and released a buggy, untested method then you would still have a bunch of angry, pissed-off people... but they would have a legitimate reason to be mad.

Don't let the haters bring you down! ;)

[Thunderbolt General] dbzfanatic:
I have released my easyroot program here for those of you interested. I did my best to meet the terms jcase set forth for release.
[Thunderbolt General] douglasmcusmc:
Just a heads up man if your doing this ( just my two cents) please tell people which all updates or versions this will work with.. and thank ya for your hard work.. PS just might thoughts Since I don't have a TB yet but have been keeping track of what all is going on.
[Thunderbolt General] jcase:
Can we just agree to disagree and stop the arguing between sides?

It will just hurt our VERY young development community.
[Thunderbolt General] Rom-Addict:
Well said jcase

[Thunderbolt General] pmdied:
This sounds great. I have a company laptop and am unable to install the java tools necessary to run adb so perhaps this method will preclude the need to do so.

I rooted my Inc with the early version of unrevoked so I have some familiarity.

[Thunderbolt General] bearklaws:

[Thunderbolt General] ApplCobbler:
Listen here, ms. sassypants IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME. Devs here need white knights rushing to their defense just as much as I need a one click solution for rooting!

Devs don't owe me ****, but if they weren't here to help common users and make things easier, this site wouldn't exist. And furthermore, I take offense to your derision of my analogy. THE AUTOMATIC IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND IT'S ON SPECIAL THIS WEEKEND WITH 0 DOWN!!
[Thunderbolt General] Samckaz:
Well not so fast plenty of problems are being reported with dbzfanatic's method. i hope something easyy comes along. thanks to all of you:(
[Thunderbolt General] harpcat:
Thanks from a noob....

There is always a group of people that can do things others can not. There are those that wish they could and would love some of the benefits the "can do's" get. There are those that could care less.

I am a tech zero who wishes he had the time to learn all this stuff. Alas, I just can not. Not that I have no aptitude. I think I might very well have the aptitude, but there are other things that I excel at that others do not, and they need me for. That is the exchange of society.

Ultimately, I just want to convey a heart felt than you to those of you who develop , who research, who brick, and unbrick, who tear it apart, figure it out, and come back to the noobs like me to share your results. Your gifts help push the boundaries for the enjoyment of these devices, and make them that much better than something like the imoan... I mean the Iphone. YOu are what makes the difference, and should be lauded for what you do to increase market share for the android platform. Sincerest of thanks!

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=one+click+root+and+s-off+thunderbolt+

However, I would only recommend to use ADB trouble root as it is helpful to understand how it works.
[Thunderbolt General] scotty1223:
be careful with one click and easy roots. i have seen a couple of instances now on other forums where the method did not complete the whole process... leaving people on buggy downgrade firmware and/or an s-on bootloader. :eek:

i personally used the "easy root" when came out,and IMO it was not so easy. i wish i had just done it the manual way. honestly,getting adb set up and seeing your phone is the hardest part. the rest is just cutting and pasting the lines in the right order,and doing a couple other things in between.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dmacrye:
*In case this was already posted, I searches the whole HTC Inspire Forum and Didn't FInd the right Topic*

I'm looking for a way to Dual Boot. For example be able to load CM7 or a Cooked Stock. I'm aware of Dual Booting WM but it's not what I'm looking for. ANy help or tips would be much appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
you just need to create a nand backup of each ROM you like to use. then when you want to bounce between ROMs, you just restore that particular backup. takes about 2 minutes, but its the closest out there to dual booting.

for example right now i have cyanogen 6.1 and gingerbread and i boot up each one depending on what i want to use that day.

That's what I currently do.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mervant:
Restoring a nan backup is nothing like dual booting :rolleyes: . As for real dual booting; there is not a predefined program or app that allows you to do this (yet). That's not to say it cannot be done. The reason a automatic tool has not been created is most likely because it would need to be written on a case to case bases. For example when you dual boot you are given the option to switch between 2 roms. If you decided you wanted to change one of those rom's then the code would have to be rewritten. Mainly because of the changes that are needed to be made to the actual rom. It takes a while to get everything changed and set up so you don't want to use a rom that updates frequently. But if you have a couple stable rom's and still want to do it you can pm me if you need any help with it.

Either way I hope that helps

This is the thread you need to follow for this. I have been beta testing this as he releases certain things. Took me a bit, but I got it running properly on my G1. Still working out some quirks on the Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crazydrummer95:
what about the app BootManager? I just now got it, and am kinda afraid to try it out, I dont want to brick my phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lordpipa:
With BootManager just select the Rom that will be for your daily use. Then backup in case anything happens, and just follow the instructions From the app. Worst case scenario, you restore your backup.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crazydrummer95:
Would it be easier than making a backup of each ROM I use in Rom Manager, and just restoring from each backup to change ROMs?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lordpipa:
It can hold up to 4 roms on your sd, think of it as if running windows on your phone and presing clrcad then haret to boot android. it even has a widget so you can press a number and it boots to your selected rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] neobirdrio:
info need

hello guys, i need some info.

1-i did couple of backup through recovery mode such like stock rom, miui, and litening rom. if i use BootManager app.. could this app recognize my previous backup made by CWM? or i need to install those roms all over again through BootManager as this app is stand alone app??

2-any feedback about using multiple rom ( changing rom like 3 or 4 time in a week )..is this safe and good to device?

3-and the last thing about using this method, if i switch to other rom, will i get the whole apps back as it is before? or i just get the clean rom without any apps then need to use titanium backup to restore the whole apps??

any feedback and advises will be highly appreciate. thanks.

How can I change the background to a custom picture?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] TheNewGuy:
the easiest way to do it is to unzip the rom with winrar. Then click on the Framework-res.apk in the system/framework folder but don't unzip it. Navigate to /res/drawable-hdpi from within winrar...click add from the winrar menu and choose the "status_bar_background.png" that you want to use like the one I attached..(I took this from some rom for the G1) let it replace the original one. Then use this tool to make the rom into an update.zip again.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717437

Follow the directions in the thread.. If you do this then flash like normal and you can have the pull down background that you want.... If you want to make your own status_bar_background.png then you are on your own.... I have know idea... But this is how you can take from a rom and put it in another rom.. also the last steps would obviously be the same even if you make your own .png.

Remember to make nandroid backup before you flash anything....

PS... This has been asked many times before so you could try the search button if you need more info...

I have attempted using CM7 rc2 but was handsome issues. I will try again. Currently I am running uncommon sense. I really like this one. I flashed in incredikernel and love it. I did have to flash in an older clockwork to get it to flash however. I have also used raider Athena and swarm Z twopointwo. There are a lot of roms out there to choose from. I would search around and read the posts for each rom and see what you are looking for. There was a post on here with a list of roms. There is also a list of different content at theincrediblelist.com.

Have fun and welcome to the Droid community!

I really liked the reviews and look of the warm 2.2 and want to try it out but the tutorial I watched on how to install it didn't work. So I used rom manager and am currently cm7 and I'm having avfew issues but they could just be a lack of basic knowledge. I'm getting a lot of force closes.

I've been trying a lot of the cm7 versions and I'm getting a lot of force closes when I pull up just about any app. I haven't found a stable one for me yet. But it may be in just doing some things wrong. Not sure. Kinda going into this whole thing blind. Surprised I haven't damaged my phone yet truthfully. But also on cm7 rc2. It doesn't reboot at all. It tries but gets stuck at the load screen. I'm going to try the nightlies version tonight though.
