[ALL IN ONE] The HTC Thunderbolt Tool!

[little_e]

As an admitted noob can I still receive OTA updates after using this to root?

[wallstreet123456]

I too am a noob when it comes to rooting. This will be my first attempt. Once I root using this tool will I need to do anything else or can I just use the phone as is. I ask because I see people talking about roms and I am not sure if there is another step I need to do after using this tool.

Also, supposedly HTC is releasing ICS soon. If I wait until after this update installs will this tool still work or might there be issues runing it?

Thanks,
Steven

You dont need to install a rom, its just an option.
And if you wait until after ICS comes out this tool may no longer work.

WHAT IS UP LADIES AND GENTLEMEN it is currently 2:20 AM and the ThunderboltTool v1.0.0 IS DONE

Months of hard work have finally paid off! The new version brings:

-Made EVERYTHING compatible with recovery mode!!!
(This does not include the recovery menu sadly)
-Made 4eXT the "standard" recovery!!!
-****COMING SOON****: Redid the entire recovery
menu, now has many
functions like backup, restore, and install.
-Detects if su binary is or non-existent and gets
version
-Gets android version for menu
-Phone not connected and waiting for recovery
prompts no longer flicker
-Redid unrooter screen
-Many text edits in rooter
-Removed exit options from menus, simply hit enter
on the main menu to exit
-Auto detects correct push of Stock RUU in unrooter
-No "error: device not found" if the phone is not
connected on tool startup
-No "error: device not found" on some "Waiting for
recovery"s.
-The word enter is no longer capatilized.
-Gets zip.exe and A .bat that packages the logs in
a folder
-Added stability to make sure files are not corrupt
-Cleaned up the code a lot with FOR /F
-Many edits to menus
-An erroneous key input in a menu no longer crashes
the tool
-Startup is cleaner
-Now sets PATH to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 at startup to
avoid any "'XX' is not recognized as an internal
or external command, operable program or batch
file." errors. But I run SETLOCAL so I don't mess
with the user's real path settings
-Can now detect a phone in fastboot but has no
major functionality as of yet
-Now starts revolutionary website in default
browser (Fixes not found error IE is disabled)
-Opens BusyBox app by Stephen (Stericson)
(pname:stericson.busybox) rather than manually
installing busybox
-Checks for leaked ICS radios and if they are found
downgrades user to older ones
-Waits for a full boot if the phone is in the boot
process
-Fixed bug where some redirects to %log% would wipe
out the entire log
-Reset tool option in extras menu

You guys should never have an issue with the tool again! (If you do, contact me! I'm always open to help!)

I hope you guys enjoy it!

I have updated the file at the main download link. By the way, we have reached OVER 9000 DOWNLOADS!!!!!!!

You guys rock.

As soon as i can scrap up $35 (I'm $35 short :P), I'll be moving on to the nexus 4, but the tbolt will definitely stay on my desk
If you'd like to help me out with that, I'd love you forever


WOOHOO!

I believe it worked! Let's see what I can do now...

Command prompt got stuck at "flashing recovery over fastboot..." and upon reboot I got stuck with the red triangle. How do
I tell if it worked?

Pull the battery and restart. Then re run the tool and install su

Hi, trter10. Before I try to do this, I was just curious whether the recent OTA Ice Cream Sandwich update could possible pose any problems since the firmware changed along with it?

I'd appreciate your input before I go on. Thanks!

Good question. ICS was loaded on my TB by OTA. Would love to root and roll back the phone to gingerbread. Wondering the same thing, can I use this to root with?

Thanks
Mike

Tool for rooting is useless as of now. There is another root method in the works IIRC(may be done by now) do a quick google of tbolt ICS root.
