[Thrive General] dalepl:
guys, I do not think you understand something about one clicks. They use an exploit to gain temporary root. This allows everything required to be installed to allow root to be permanent. Currently, no exploit has been found to work on the Thrive. That being said, you have to install a boot image that gives you root access. Once this is done, you can add the additional files to gain fill root. So, at present, you will need two steps. One to flash a new boot image (and recovery if you want one to allow easier mods) and then installation of superuser update if there is on and busybox. The devs are working on a single flash to allow this to be automated, but you will still have to have adb working and run fastboot to get this to work. Hope this clears up some of your questions.
[Thrive General] teh roxxorz:
And still, if you can work command prompt, and have adb set up via sdk folder, it still takes 3 minutes to push the files via fastboot, and apply the update zip in recovery.
[Thrive General] primetime34:
I just installed the pre-root gingerbread update for the droid x2. I have a thrive. How hard is it going to be? (I run Linux Mint primarily)
[Thrive General] teh roxxorz:
If you mean for the thrive, you just need a adb set up, then flash the boot and recovery via fastboot and the update.zip in recovery.
[Thrive General] drum747:
The hardest part is getting adb and fastboot set up. Once you have fastboot its simple.
[Thrive General] virgo wattson:
i really hope and pray that this is soon accomplished, i think i speak for everyone in this thread when i say manually rooting can be a scary experience if your a noob or jus plain lack the skill, i mean who wants to play russian roulette with a device exceeding $500.00 in price anyway?
[Thrive General] mcarver2000:
Thankfully for us, there were quite enough brave folks that were willing to do just that, else we wouldn't have gotten this close......

But, I am with you and am sitting back and awaiting an more bullet-proof method of rooting.
[Thrive General] Natolx:
The only way to get a one-click root is to abuse an exploit. Finding an exploit is not something that happens quickly if at all and it wouldn't be an exploit that is Thrive specific, just specific to whatever version of Honeycomb.

I actually wouldn't expect any exploits to be found until Ice Cream Sandwich comes out and unites all the android platforms. More people = more chance to find an exploit.
[Thrive General] Lexus One:
From what I have gathered from the other site there is a r/w to r/o and back to r/w problem with the system partition using root explorer? And the Thrive wants to keep overwriting the new recovery with the stock recovery at boot-up. Are these things all fixed and included in the latest update.zip file?

In a nutshell, I'm ready to root my Thrive...or is it too early? I want to be sure the bugs I mentioned and the ones I didn't mention are fixed first. I was not able to find a listing of what is included in the update.zip file either.
[Thrive General] dalepl:
It is fixed as of today. :)
[Thrive General] Lexus One:
Thanks! That is good news! Do you have a link to the latest (all-in-one) rooting procedure? Or doesn't one exist yet? (btw, I'm a Windows user)
[Thrive General] dalepl:
Ther is not one yet. I am going to start looking into it. YOu can go to ThriveForums.org and get steps for rooting.
[Thrive General] Lexus One:
"Go to ThriveForums. . .for rooting?" That's a joke. When I go over to thriveforums, it would appear that the steps for rooting the Thrive are a well kept secret. The procedure is scattered all over the place. Just like the required files. And what's new and what's outdated material? How are idiots like me supposed to follow that kind of a procedure? People say they're rooted, but nobody wants to say how they did it. Would it take that long to write it down?

Sorry, just a little frustrated right now. But I appreciate you and everything you have done to help people like me. :)
[Thrive General] dalepl:
Did you ask for any help? The easiest way to root would be to load CWM recovery on your device. You can get the instructions and file here: http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/toshiba-thrive-development/1637-how-install-clockwork-mod-your-toshiba-thrive-via-fastboot.html

Once you have CWM recovery installed, you can load the rooted image files. You can get them here: http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/toshiba-thrive-development/1844-thrive-rooted-cw-restore-3-1-01-5-0029-image.html

After loading the rooted images, you will have the latest ROM with full root access.
[Thrive General] virgo wattson:
Netflix patch, overclocking

i only need root access for two reasons......NETFLIX PATCH, OVERCLOCKING TO 1.5GHZ, if i could somehow achieve these two things without rooting id have little or no use for superuser access lol
[Thrive General] dalepl:
There are other good reasons, like Titanium Backup, but root will not help you with overclocking until we get the kernel source. Without it, you cannot overclock.
[Thrive General] moe3754:
Until there is a one click way to root the thrive in windows then it is a waste of time for people that are not that great running the command prompt.,Guess I will just PM ATTN1 to see if he can help those of us that are not that brilliant!!!!
[Thrive General] Lexus One:
Thanks Paul, I appreciate your trying to help me. But you don't seem to get my point. What you just gave me were a couple of fragments to the Thrive rooting puzzle. You left out all the steps and links to the remaining required files and USB drivers - that must be hand edited -to get ADB/Fastboot working on my Windows computer. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't I need to do this before I can even attempt the pieces of the puzzle that you pointed me to?

I really don't care about a 1 click root right now. I just want to know how to root my Thrive without seaching through all the forums to find all the fragments, and hoping I didn't get any outdated files or information in the process.

You told me to ask someone. We'll I've seen people over at thriveforums ask for a procedure. And they get the same response. Usually a link to another fragment of the rooting puzzle.

Paul, I appreciate the links you gave me. But do you have the missing links that help me get adb & fastboot & usb & bootunlocker image & update.zip or whatever else I need to make the links you gave me work? :)

EDIT: :eek: I see a DOS batch file is in the works! I may want to give that a try.
[Thrive General] dalepl:
If you can wait it out, I do have a DOS batch file completed. I can add in instructions for loading the ADB drivers. I will then need it to be tried out by someone like you that does not have the drivers loaded. You want to volunteer to help out? If you do, go the ThriveForums anbd PM me. I will contact you with my Email.
[Thrive General] teh roxxorz:
It was a success. :)
[Thrive General] dalepl:
Glad to hear this. I am trying to make this as easy as I can without coming over and doing it for you guys. :p
[Thrive General] Lexus One:
Success for me too! Now if I'm not mistaken, installing clockworkmod recovery should be a piece of cake. . .I hope. As long as Murphy doesn't show up ;)

UPDATE: Thanks again Paul. I used your existing directory structure with fastboot, and CWM Recovery flashed just fine. Did a backup too.
[Thrive General] 3vilhomer:
so is there any one click root yet for the thrive??
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentg1001:
Could anyone possibly add higher frequencies lets say up to 902? And most importantly, could someone also fix wifi on this kernel? I can almost guarantee that this would be the absolute best kernel available if all of this was done. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970543&page=68

The Kernel is Drowningkernel 8-9-1
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dharris76:
Quick question: Would this work on the Slide?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentg1001:
Yes this already works on the slide. Just install thru clockworkmod recovery. its a very high performance kernel, the only problems are wifi and frequencies could be higher
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dharris76:
Ok, that's wats up, thanks

Sent from my Beast of a Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeddicus71:
I wonder. Setting such high frecuencies, wouldn't risk your cpu phone to get toasted???

Also, wouldn't it cause much more battery usage?

Br,

Zedd
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentg1001:
I'm running drowning kernel 7 and I'm stable at 902, and I get a few reboots at 921 mhz. And for battery life, the smartass governer takes care of that, my phone lasts all day.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixeddevil:
I was wondering why is it that when ever i install a new kernel with cm7, I can't connect or mount my usb to my computer?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentg1001:
Hmm that's strange I don't think I've ever ran into a problem like that. Not sure if I can help much with that but what I would suggest is, do a completely clean install of cm7 and then install the kernel or you could start a thread in the q&a section and maybe someone with more knoledge than me on that problem could help.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SKAm69:
Yeah, I've tried drowningchild's .35 kernel and it's very smooth. But wifi isn't working at all with it. I remember his previous kernels were fully functional. I wish someone could make that .35 kernel for CM7
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SKAm69:
Maybe someone could modify drowningchild's 2.6.35.x CM Aria kernel so wifi would work?
[HTC Sensation] Kennii:
Does the music get really loud, like if you was using Voodoo(Galaxy S, G2x)?

Im having a hard time choosing between the Sensation and the G2x because I love my music really loud in my ears to where I can't hear anyone
[HTC Sensation] falcon eyez:
well, I don't really know mate but, I'm telling u this

I tried beats headphones yesterday .. with iPhone 4 and with my sensation .. the sound from the sensation was nothing compared to the sound from the iPhone .. just thought it may be helpful to know :D.

waiting for other members answer .
[LG Revolution] doellski:
Any one have experience with a window mount for the lg revo? Anything you can recommend?

Thanks!
[LG Revolution] sephkeene:
I have the LG Windshield mount, and it is rugged. It holds strong, has a cut out for the camera, so you can record while going down the road. Also it has a bump for the extended battery.
[LG Revolution] doellski:
Thats alot! Do you recall how much and where you got it?
[LG Revolution] sephkeene:
ummm...I think it was $25 at the Verizon Store
[LG Revolution] rickt:
I have the window mount and while I'm impressed that the phone stays in the mount very well even with the vzw extended battery, I've found that in a sports car (I have an old MG, sort of like a Miata) there is a lot of "wobble" that sometimes makes it difficult to clearly read the screen directions etc. YMMV.
[LG Revolution] ExNukeSquid:
My girlfriend has the Revo w/window mount. It is a good product. It sticks well, almost too well. We have to use a small, thin item (credit card or nail file) to get it to pop off of the plastic stick down base pad, even when the lock tab is up...

[LG Revolution] wirelessrevolution:
Can you use any GPS app beside the Verizon Navigator? I can't seem to figure out how to make my default nagivation app as Navigon. I'd even Settle for Google Navigator
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Why do you need to record yourself driving down the road...
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
yah??? Try going to Google Maps. Find a destination. Then Navigate to it. When you select that you want to go there, Google Maps should ask you which navigation program you want to use. If it doesn't you have set one as your default already. Go into Settings>Applications>All(if given that option)>Program (the program, that you have set as your default) and then hit clear default and you will be clear.

Then go back click that you want to navigate to where ever, Google then will ask you what program you would like to use.

Now, if you are a white dude, Navigation will always, take you to the nearest trailer park. If you are a black dude, it will take you to the nearest Popeyes. If you are by chance Latino, it will find the nearest front yard so you can park.
[LG Revolution] drt054:
When you install Google Maps you automatically get Navigation Beta, should be in your app drawer.. looks like a blue arrow pointing up.

A question for the masses.. Has anyone found a case for the LG Revo such as a gel or silicone, or even plastic case that is thin enough and will still fit in the OEM LG/VZW Car Dock??
[LG Revolution] allyman90:
I went to the Verizon store and asked about the mount about 3 months ago. I asked the sales person if the phone would fit in the mount with the case i have (shell and holster) of course he said yes...bought it didnt fit so now im taking it outta the shell every time i want to use it...but overall its nice shakes a little but i like it.
[LG Revolution] Nihs07:
I find that the window mount shakes a lot, but the most annoing part is its not that adjustable. I came from an Incredible and the mount for it was very adjustable, but the one for the revo you can only pivot the anlge.
[LG Revolution] y2d2:
How about Asians?
[LG Revolution] Mr Frog:
The Mount is now only 7.49 at the VZW store!

https://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c...ryDetails&archetypeId=12651&accessoryId=47596
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
Seems like a dumb question but I'll ask anyway.

Will it fit with the extended battery? It doesn't appear as if it will.
[LG Revolution] vinylguy:
It will not clear the extended battery. Or a case. I have been really happy with my window mount... except when i have to take my case off to mount my phone in the holder.
[LG Revolution] brswong:
I cant post links but I like to stay away from window mounts, never really worked for me in the past, and so i found this website proclipusa.com where i could get the mount and put it somewhere else in my car, it can be near the shift or up where the clock is, etc. works great, easy to install, and i love it.
