Even if that's my only source of internet?

How do I check if I have the fastboot drivers?
(Sorry for all the questions I'm really new to rooting)

If you already pay for the hot spot, I wouldnt root because there is speculation that data speeds may slow

The only problem I had was the usb cable. After I got a good quality cable, the tool ran once and rooted. I downloaded root checker and verified root. I have since installed wifi tether on her device and she is surfing away.

Great find op, thanks for posting it here!

Question on OTA updates

First of all thanks a ton for the very easy to follow instructions for rooting. It works flawlessly. I noticed that during the process there was a step that asked whether you wanted to allow ota updates. It you said no, does this mean you don't have to worry about forced updates. Thanks again for the great information.

Just tried to root my Thunderbolt, following all the steps I encountered no problems, no errors. Everything appeared to run correctly. Rootchecker the first time I tested stated it did not have root access yet when I retested, it stated I did.

Fantastic tool and guide, many thanks!

I dont understand posting of that link, are you saying I should re-root? Or are you just posting this as an alternative to the guide in this thread?


In my case I noticed one problem, I can browse root, installed titanium backup and it ran.. but I cannot move any of the bloatware apps to the /sdcard/. I can copy them, cannot delete them. Seems I dont have true root access.

When you run the tool, it will ask you to install su which will fix root.

Ok so I downloaded the tools, ran the driver.exe, then ran the Thunderbolttool.bat. When it boots up, I get the following:

Welcome to the HTC Thunderbolt tool, by trter10.

Phone information:

ROM Version: 2.11.605.19 710RD - Android 2.3.4

Superuser binary v3.0.3.2

MAIN MENU
--------------------------------------------------------
1 - Recovery menu
2 - Boot menu
3 - Extras menu
4 - Unroot
5 - About
R - Reload info
--------------------------------------------------------
Choose what you want to do or hit enter to exit.

I was not prompted to install su, although I do see a Superuser binary v3.0.3.2 which I assume means I already have it installed? Or is it the incorrect one installed? I can see files in /system/app but I cannot delete them.

Try S-OFF but no root in the extras menu.

Did it, no errors. Rebooted phone, browsed to /system/apps and tried to delete Kindle.apk and got "kindle.apk cannot be deleted". Tried a few other bloatware apps and ditto, cannot be deleted.

Crud, this now messed up Titanium Backup, it hangs on the "asking for root rights" screen indefinitely. I re-ran the above tool again it hardbooted my PC :angry:
