[Thunderbolt General] t.k.h.:
The root tutorial is not difficult to get through, as long as you follow the instructions explicitly.

There is also a one-click solution out there for Windows users, that essentially is a batch file that runs all the adb commands for you...I'm sure there are setup dependencies with that though, so be careful before you pull the trigger.

One-Click:

I was nervous as heck when I first decided to root my phone as well, but after doing it I wouldn't go back. Just make sure to read how to and all that jazz before you make the plunge, and it definitely helps to watch youtube videos explaining/highlighting the process.
[Thunderbolt General] METDeath:
Following the root directions aren't hard, it was my first time actually using ADB, and it worked fine. I just took my time and verified everything I typed in. If something didn't work, it was usually because of a small typo.
[Thunderbolt General] mbh87:
Thats why you copy/paste ;)
[Thunderbolt General] Nusince:
Depends on how long you can hold your breath because it is going to be a long while before you see this, if you ever will see this. If there was an easy exploit that would allow unrevoked to work it would have been found already.

I hope sprint doesnt lock up the evo 3d as hard as verizon does. But doesn't seem like they care if the evo it is easy to root.
[Thunderbolt General] ksemtner:
I really, REALLY want to root my Thunderbolt, as the control freak in me just can't stand things like Facebook for HTC Sense/Peep/TuneWiki/CityID/etc. CONSTANTLY reopening in the background, even after a Force Stop. I know task killers are pointless on Android these days, and I don't mind apps I actually USE opening in the back, but it seems to just be the junk that's getting militant on me. Anyway, my worries lie in beginning of the root process. Since I'm a Macbook Pro user, I actually started (and completed) the first few steps (mostly downloads and prep) to root, but I got to a file that just wouldn't unzip for me, the firmware downgrade file I believe, and didn't want to push it any further in case I ended up SOL somewhere down the line. I really don't mind doing things the hard way, as I find it interesting, but at the same time I'm still too gun shy of accidentally bricking.
[Thunderbolt General] bilbobrian:
The downgrade file stays in.zip format, it's flashable. You follow the steps, rename and send to sd card when your'e ready to.

Well a friend of mine said that it's possible to bypass the trouble of unlocking, if you flash your firmware.

I have Xperia X10i and it's network locked. It's bought from france. Also he mentioned something that i have ''Orange''. If there is any guide to do so (i didn't find any on my own) i would be grateful if any of you guys forward me there.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrunoPGomes:
Probably not. I have an X10i which was locked to Orange. Simplest solution is to google "unlock X10i Orange" and follow the rabbit. There are a couple of sites where if you provide the IMEI for your phone, part with about 20 Euros, you will receive an email in about 4-5 days with the unlock code and instructions to use that code. Be very careful entering the unlock code, as a mistake can mess the phone. Its not difficult.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbsocol:
Hello all, clueless wooter here. I've been reading the forum for about a week now in preparation for receiving my Gtab, and I truly have not seen this issue raised anywhere else, so I hope I'm not repeating anyone.

On good advice from users here, I tinkered with the gtab using just its out-of-the-box OS when I first got it. I quickly realized that like everyone else I would be picking up a different ROM due to the gtab's lagginess and lack of features.

So I put in clockwork and tntlite 4.3. Everything worked great, I followed all the steps as laid out here, etc. Only one problem: the Home button on the right side of the tablet does not work at all.

This isn't a huge issue, since the screen-based home button on the left side is perfectly usable. But I'm worried that this lack of functionality might point to a bigger problem, so I thought I would ask about it. The other three buttons on that side all work just fine, and the tablet has no other issues that I have found.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
Download the screen calibration app from the apps and themes forum. It may reset it. I have had loss of button functionality and this has fixed it.

Also you couuld look into button remapper and button savior. The combo lets you remap the soft buttons to whatever you want (or just turn them off) and puts a small tab wherever you want that when pressed pops up an icon for the search, home, menu and back buttons.

This let me map the buttons to arrow keys which makes surfing the intertubes way easier and never accidentally hit the home key in the dark when playing with the tab in bed.

Hope that helps :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
i thought the same thing and even filed for an rma but it works if you go into the apps ie the icon on the screen with lots of sqaures then hit the home button it takes you back out of the app manager.. it is not supposed to take you to your home page.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roscoenr:

Which folder in the framework would I look in cuz theres alot..and im running an aosp rom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Most likely will be in drawable-hdpi, would be my guess. You can't miss it, because there are usually over 100 .png's for the battery icon. You'll see them, once you get the right folder.

The new popular launcher SPB Shell 3D is here! The problem is that it's not supported for our smal resolution yet. When it's starting up it says that there has been an error because of the app dont support the resolution. ( if i remember right )

My question is if its possible to rewrite the app so it support our phones? I mean, the android system should downscale the app so it fitt the screen (probably) ?

If someone is willing to make this as an project or experiment, you can send me a PM. If you don't want to.. you maybe is willing to learn me how to do.

It would realy mean a LOT for me ( and many other I think! ) if someone could fix this!

Try this

1.install the launcher

2.connect to the net and let the license check fail.

3. in the license check pop up choose "Exit"

4.do not reboot your phone or click the "Home" button.

5.Uninstall the SPB Shell 3D, again do not press the "Home" button.

6.install SPB Shell 3D again. Now press "Home", choose SPB shell and set as default.

7. Bingo!!!!!!! browse the net, restart the phone. do wateva it'll still adore your phone.

go to data/app and rename the file from com.spb.shell3d-1.apk to com.spb.shell3d.apk

then run the above commands hit home button after leaving the terminal emulator amd select spb home your phone might restart but it will work as soon you boot it up again hit home key again and make it your default home screen.

Dude Don't try to buy it.....becoz soon you will get frustated with it and uninstall it......I personally faced this prob.....This launcher isn't Optimized for our MINI's and therefore it slows our phones process,It looks really Awesome but it also need sacrifice of your phones performance...which means that you'll buy it for only 3-4 dayz.....And even it has a large buying rate too.

Ok. It seems like it's not a Gingerbread problem, but it has to do with the kind of custom ROM you use and which packages it doesn't include. It's an apk that wasn't included in Darky's Resurrection edition that wouldn't make the dual sim utility work. After installing the full version everything worked ok.

I will check the name of the APK and get back to you.

It's so easy. If you follow all of the steps properly literally NOTHING can go wrong. It's kind of frustrating to see all this posts pop up when smart people have given you step by step guides for root.

i think that the biggest problem for most people is the fact that setting up sdk and getting the nerve to take the leap to adb commands takes alot of know how that a lot of people on here take for granted. At one point in time we all were f'n n00bs.

I just get extremely tired of seeing people being asshats about helping others. Hell I am a noob just getting started to.

But on the other hand you can't help stoopid, and I agree most problems can be resolved with a few solid moments of reading and brain work.

.o2¢
[Thunderbolt General] pulser_g2:
no idea why this is posted in development.

If you can't run a few shell commands, then are you ready to root your phone? If something were to miraculously go wrong, you NEED to be familiar with your shell to recover.

Don't root until you know about how to flash partitions on a device. It's all well and good to use a one-click batch script, but come on... Rooting is a risky process. What if the power to your PC were to cut out while flashing? What if Windows were to crash?

Learn to use commands yourself, rather than using a one-click button... You learn nothing by pressing buttons. You learn by reading commands, working out what they do, and doing them yourself :)

The method of root using ADB is by far the most reliable way of rooting the thunderbolt. Unfortunately a "one click" root solution is bad in my opinion because you need to know whats actually happening when you are rooting your phone. If you need assistance send me a PM and I can guide you through the process of getting root on your t-bolt. I already helped one person do it and now he understands better how to use ADB and what needs to happen to root your phone. ADB is useful in so many different ways when you have an android phone its definitely worth figuring it out. Just my $.02
