Just tried. Downloaded, granted SU, and it failed to install. Said it couldn't gain root (go figure).

Thanks, though!:o

Next!?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
Well the rom is already prerooted so you could just install it over the current rom without wiping. If rom manager won't wow you to do it, boot straight into recovery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
Delete /system/app/Superuser.apk and /system/xbin/su

Then manually flash the superuser zip from recovery.

You said flashing Superuser failed and said it was bad? Sounds like the DL is corrupt then. DL 2.3.6.3efgh again and flash that.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDAThunderbolter:
Can't delete anything in system folder without root access. Or at least ES File Manager won't allow it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDAThunderbolter:
Tried this since it makes sense, but it didn't work. I'm going to full wipe and try reinstalling. I'll post if it works... Or doesn't.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
Yes but try it on a fresh dl.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDAThunderbolter:
Since I was reflashing I went ahead and downloaded the RC4. I seem to be the only one with the RC3 issue so I figured it was on my end. Wiped, flashed, and all good now. Thanks for the tips guys. OP updated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheeksta:
Is there a page where we can follow the new 2.16 hboot root status?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
yea its called xda....lol sorry man but honestly a little search would discover whats going on plus to be honest with the new 3D most developers are trying to root that I would assume. But to answer your question again check the irc channels... Do a search on xda for channels since I dont know each one but have seen few threads where people have asked same question as you. They say there is some chatter going on in IRC

Just got to be patient or try and come up with a root method- Those are your options unfortunately
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvoNotion:
Lame answer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LCL22:
there is some chatter on the IRC channels, somone said teamwin is working on it and hboot got pwnd , but they are working on a stable release..

how accurate this is i do not know , but this is what i have read as of today, hopefullly we can have a stable way to root this new hboot soon, as i cant stand the bloatware anymore gaaaaaahhh!!! :confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjgrantham:
Are you sure they weren't talking about the 3D? I think that's were the focus is right now....unfortunately.

If this is true though, this is some really good news! Keep up the good work devs!
[HD2 General] kidrythm:
so, after banging away loading EVERY tweak for over a year (xda is super win!), recently changing into a 3G sim (i missed the memo...the one tmo NEVER SENT!), and recently caving in and flashing 3.14 (yeah, i know, but getting nandydroidysuch on a wonky phone is foolish imho) i finally got a tech to mention a warranty exchange...

i've blown enough fire at them to burn the world (you do it your way, i'll do it mine thanks), and just NOW it's an option?!?

my guess, they finally recieved enough returns to let loose a refurby unit without feeling it.

could be wrong, but meh, corporations are what they are: looking out for the corporation.

no biggie, good on them right?

anywho, tomorrow before 6 UPS will deliver a (hopefully 100% unused) HD2...$5 fee, $337.00 if I do not return my "hindered" unit, warranty replacement.

it's actually got me giddy, especially since the HD7 & Sensation are dry humping each other in the corner like inbred rats....i.e. not the suitable HD2 replacement i was hoping for.

troll away!
[HD2 General] kidrythm:
btw my 3rd contract with tmo is up next April, surely 307 new htc winmo devices will have come and gone.

any futue speculators on style, design, guts, software, etc.?

all i ned is dual core, forward cam (maybe?), top noth screen/graphics, 4.3", and huge bewbs!

no wait, forget the bewbs...that's another topic.

if qpst won't recognize your phone,open it when your connected in htc sync,click on right bottom add com port and UNCHECK system determintation,i was stuck there for 3 days until i figured this out and it found my phone on com port 31(may be diff.for others)then I was able to turn my volumes up to 3,you can go to 4 if you want but it is possible to blow your speakers if you do.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] lanwarrior:
I have been experiencing the problem below and I am wondering if this is a HoneyComb issues (which can be fixed in the next Android OS release) or Asus specific issues:

1). Wifi

Many times, when my Eee went into sleep mode and I turned it on, it will show that there is no Internet Connection. Going to the Wifi Settings shows that it's in "Scanning..." mode and the previously configured access point is shown as "Out of range". I had to turn OFF Wifi and turn it ON back again and it will immediately connect to the Access point. This will also happen for sure if I REBOOT my Asus

2). Password

I setup "Pattern" as the password to access the Android OS and set it for 5-minutes delay. Problem is, there is just NO DELAY. The moment I put the Eee into sleep mode and turn it ON again, the password prompt shows up.

So both problems relates to the Eee going to sleep mode. Anyone have these problems?

[Verizon Droid Charge] Schneeder:
So Verizon has now announced they will cap data which makes this even harder.

The price of the charge is too much currently because I don't have a job. Hopefully will have one here soon but that is still any where from 2 - 4 weeks from a possible first pay check.

I would like to have the charge but unless the price drops tomorrow I am not sure it will happen. I want to get grandfather with unlimited data hopefully and was wondering should I wait a risk it or go for a sub $200 phone?

If so which one?
[Verizon Droid Charge] papi92:
Wait
[Verizon Droid Charge] turnerw:
Well depends on what you are looking for. I could have waited, but the 4.3" SuperAmoled screen, the hard buttons, and the camera/camcorder sold me. To me that made sense instead of waiting on this Bionic that may surface later, with probably the same crappy motorola camera. Beleive me, I have had original Droid and Droid X and although great phones I still love my Droid Charge over them. I have grown to love Samsung phones.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schneeder:
Well I would love the charge for the screen and 4g capabilities but at the same time it is still new and has its issues.

The reason for me having to wait would be for a job and to get the money to pay for it. My parents are will to pay for a sub $200 smart phone. They both have the Droid X's.

Is the wait for 4g worth it or for the next two years will 3g still be the leader or will 4g have taken over? With the charge part of the thought was that I would be future proofing myself you could say for the 4g to come.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dougdascenzo:
Not sure if this changes your situation at all, but costco has the Charge for 179.99 which is by far cheaper than everywhere else. Just got mine yesterday. Great deal plus you get 90 days to exchange the phone if you don't like it. I will likely never get a phone through anyone but Costco going forward as long as this policy and their great pricing is in place.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schneeder:
How would I go about getting it from there if I already am on a plan with Verizon and I just want to upgrade my phone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dlang123:
sam's

Sam's is actually cheaper than Costco, cause they give you a sale price and not a rebate, they dont charge tax on the full 300 like Costco.. that being said.. Costco does free activation and free accessories.

Also online from Sams it is 130. In store still 175.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schneeder:
Is it possible to get the phone itself and upgrade or do you have to get the plan through store? Cause if so I don't think that will work for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Costco has this phone on sale(until Jul6th or 7th I think) for $179.99, they give a free extended warranty, free car charger, 2 free screen protectors and a free leather case that clips onto your belt(that's where I got my charge, I really only cared about the discount but look at all the free crap!) Also I think Amazon just lowered their price of the Charge to $179.99 as well, just doesn't come with free crap.

I could have waited for the Galaxy S2 to hit Verizon(or the U.S. in general) but that seems to be ages away, especially considering the tiered data plans are coming on the 7th, same reasons I didn't wait for the Bionic, and neither of them have physical buttons(the GS2 has a physical home but the other 2 are capacitive and that sucks.. seriously that would have been a flawless phone if they hadn't done that)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schneeder:
Thanks to you guys telling me about the other sites selling the charge for cheaper then from Verizon I was able to order it today. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] notasimpleway:
This started with the update to Gingerbread on the Evo 4G. The power management settings were hidden from view unless you knew how to find them so I made an app that granted access to those settings on the Evo. I know that the Evo 3D has is listed in the settings menu, but there's no app drawer widget for it so I installed it on my 3D so I could easily access it from my homescreen. I'm just posting it here for those that might want to use it. It's a small app at 13kb and only sends out an intent for the power saving settings then finish() so it takes no memory outside opening those settings. Feel free to use anyway you want.
[HTC EVO 3D] alongmire22:
Thanks imma try it
[HTC EVO 3D] notasimpleway:
Let me know if you have any problems. I may change the icon to match the power settings one. The only difference is the bolt in the middle.

[Thunderbolt General] jonagpa:
ok guys i need ur gelp, i only got a 1/2 hour to decide. i found a great deal on a tb but i dont know if i should get it.

are you guys happy with the phone?

would u get a diff 4g phone

how is the batt?

a list of pros n cons would be great

might buy it for 175 used. i got burn with the fascinate and i dont wanna do the same.

tge reason i want a 4g phone is to lock in unlimited 4g before the limited plans get in.
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
Best 4g lte phone imo. Just make sure to get an extended battery down the road.

Great speeds

OK screen

Great dev support

Not so great battery life on standard battery
[Thunderbolt General] RootandBoot:
Get the damn TB. Put some BAMF on it. Enjoy.
[Thunderbolt General] zoso3319:
I can usually get from 8-16 hours from the thunderbolt on the standard battery, depending on use of course. I am sitting in wifi mostly, running das Bamf 1.8.6 right now. Over the weekend, I got 28 hours on a single charge on 3G, but I didn't use it much at all - just emails, a few websites but there was about an hour of pandora in there.

If you're interested in rooting/ROMing, I think the TB is definitely the best choice
[Thunderbolt General] cowisland:
I thought the Samsung phone was pretty good. Ofcourse I am not sure if it is worth the extra money, it probably sells for more than TB.
[Thunderbolt General] Dork6243:
Not saying this cause I own one, thunderbolt hands down. The development community alone should be enough to make it the most appealing LTE device.
[Thunderbolt General] teamgreen02:
I was wondering the same thing. Hardware wise the charge is superior but developer wise the thunderbolt has more support. I bought my tbolt used in like new condition for $350. The price jacked up once the tiered data plans were leaked. At $175 check to make sure the esn is clean and then go for it!
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
Samsung and I are not friends. Innovative products, poor product support. Their way of fixing things is releasing a new device. This has been my experience anyway.
[Thunderbolt General] jonagpa:
Not to be rude but no peons or cons list?

And as far as you guys know what exactly is grandfather in?

If I have unlimited data and I choose to upgrade later to a 4g non contract would I keep unlimited?
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
According to what's been floating around so far yes you do.

I also gave you two cons in my reply. Want me to start making up stuff?
[Thunderbolt General] jonagpa:
No, hahah sorry kinda stressed out abou it for some reason

I am getting it just in case they say u can't be grandfathered in for the 4g. I don't even have 4g here but 4g is the future and I only pay 10 for unlimited ( I got this crazy promotional deal last November) n I don't wanna lose it when I do get 4g around here.
[Thunderbolt General] CharliesTheMan:
I have to say I'm impressed with the Thunderbolt, and I'm not an Android guy. Well Im totally an Android guy, now. If I had gotten any other phone available currently, I would have passed it off in a week.

The thunderbolt's quality combined with developer support and the online community just form a smartphone-holy trinity.

I have an iPad 2, iPad, iPhone 4, and Thunderbolt. The short battery life the first three days was a con. Then I started customizing my settings, and about 3 hours after ordering an extended battery I realized "Oh ****, I've been pushing this dude pretty hard for 10 hours."

Needless to say, I only use it when I'm going to be out all night and she's pretty enough that I may not charge it first thing in the morning.

Rooted Thunderbolt on BAMF Sense 3.0 RC 4 with MR2 radio and latest dreamKernel.
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
By the way, I see you're in Queens. I work in Long Island City and get great 4g speeds. About 25 down and 5 up.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
you keep unlimited as long as you keep your plan (3g/4g doesn't make a difference), they have said that as long as you are unlimited with smartphone data, you are good (according to engadget). If you change your base plan in any way, then you will lose the unlimited data.

Thunderbolt is a great phone with minor hiccups stock. Charge has better battery life and a better screen. Thunderbolt has a lot better dev support as do most htc products. Thunderbolt comes with 40gb total memory, not sure about the Charge.
[Thunderbolt General] txyaloo:
Every Charge I've played with has just dragged. I attribute it to the way Samsung distributed the ram. Their battery life sucks too. I can get 2 days out of my TB. I've used a Charge that regularly loses 40% in 3 hours.
[Thunderbolt General] cowisland:
Why do HTC phones have better dev support, just curious? This is my first Android phone, so forgive me if I am missing something obvious here, could have googled it, etc. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] blueis300:
I love my thunderbolt. I bought it used for $350 went to verizon to activate told him it was used and he asked if I wanted insurance. I said sure. Had an issue that was within 14 days of purchase and they gave me a new in box. Yeah I know people will ***** I screwed verizon but people have a job and should be trained. Since I have had no problems, love the Roms put out and 4g is great.
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
I can't believe that nobody had mentioned that the.TB is the only verizon phone with voice and simultaneous data thanks to its dual antennas.
[Thunderbolt General] cowisland:
I like my TB, but this is my first Android phone so I can't really compare. People have gone over the pros for the phone, and I agree with them. Here are a couple of potential cons. #1 is the phone sound quality. I personally don't find it that great, and to me Verizon iPhone (my wife has one) sounds better. I thought the phone amp was such a basic part that it should never be an issue, but surprisingly it is an issue for me. #2 is the 4g battery drain bug. The good thing is that not everyone has it, and I hope MR2 radio finally fixes it (testing that right now). Other than that it has been a great phone for me, and I am definitely enjoying the dev support, thanks to the devs and people offering help on this forum!
[Thunderbolt General] mattsonhistb:
It will sound better if you pull the kickstand out, even if that's a little inconvenient.
[Thunderbolt General] jonagpa:
GOT THE PHONE!!!

Yep, now I am a member of the xda thunderbolt club.

Now I need to activate and root the phone.
[Thunderbolt General] jgalan14:
Did you check esn ? I would take the dude to the store and make sure is active lol, anyways nice job you won't be disappointed :D
[Thunderbolt General] crazyhtown:
If you root it is a great device. If you don't I would go with a charge even if it won't get software updates as fast historically.

If you need your phone outside during the day in the sun light charge also wins, hands down.

Hardware wise the thunderbolt feels a lot smoother and quicker in my limited testing
[Thunderbolt General] jonagpa:
Yeah I called Verizon and made sure it was not stolen or lost. They said I need a new sim card, if it wasn't for that it would already be activated.
[Thunderbolt General] jgalan14:
Oh ok that's good yeah it will take probably 10 minutes at the store the was a good deal tho :)
[Thunderbolt General] jonagpa:
Just rooted and installed bamf 3.0 with mr2 radio. So far so good. Deff better than my fascinate, except that it's just as bad with gps.
[Thunderbolt General] crazyhtown:
I hear that a lot about the gps....am I just lucky I only use it in major cities? I've never had one problem (Dallas,Houston, Austin)
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
Good choice with the thunderbolt. My friends has a charge. Most of the phone is made of plastic.... Pretty much the only thing the charge has on the thunderbolt is

More ram and better screen. Dev community on the thunderbolt is top notch.

Possibly. Either way, as I stand corrected, the only thing the charge has over the thunderbolt is the screen.

I'm just not in to a mostly plastic phone that costs $50 more than one that isn't... Maybe it'd just me lol

[Thunderbolt General] bthomp21:
The charge screen in person is horrible. Specs mean nothing..
[Thunderbolt General] greenstuffs:
I guess you never been at the GSG dev section.
[Thunderbolt General] txyaloo:
Out of the 512mb, only ~384mb of it is allocated to apps. The phone absolutely drags because of that.

I think the Charge screen is clearer, sharper, and more vivid than the TBs screen. Other than the screen and hardware buttons, the TB is a much better phone.
[Thunderbolt General] bogatyr:
TB has data issues sometimes. When using hotspot or listening to a streaming local radio on it, the data will start to drop. Once it starts, it drops every few seconds for a random period of time. It isn't as prevelant in the current update though.
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
I agree. My friends charge has a super clean and clear screen.

The charges battery life is the same as the tbolt.

unknown and I got overclocking working in the regular 1.2.6/1.5.7 kernel. This does seem to fully work with SetCPU. Wifi and sound still work. This is only a 1.1ghz overclock for safety. With the patch you can do more. Note, don't change the frequency it boots at from 1ghz. The original patch made it 1.1ghz, and it failed to boot for us.

This work is almost a straight port of faux123's code from the G2X. His work is based on others' earlier work. unknown got the final idea that made it work from looking at kholk's source.

Kernel

Ramdisk

Kernel source

Patch

Kernel config

Instructions:

1. Download kernel and ramdisk

2. Connect phone to PC via USB cable.

3. Boot phone into fastboot mode. Vol down and then vol up during early boot.

4. Run fastboot flash:raw zImage ramdisk.gz
