Rooting HTC Thunderbolt

[Sam S.]

Just joined so please don't yell at me if this is the wrong place. Just point me to the right place. Thanks in advance.
I have a Thunderbolt and want to root it so I can get at hotspot feature. I don't have a clue on an easy way. Is there a one click app that will do it. Are there user groups in different cities that can help you out?
Thanks,
Sam

The ThunderBolt was the first LTE device released on Verizon Wireless.

I am pretty sure that it was also one of the worst phones for the Devs too. I am not 100% sure. I seem to recall it being the Thunderbolt. I could be wrong.

My recollection was that the Thunderbolt was an extremely *difficult* phone to root. A friend of mine, who was quite knowledgeable had one hell of a time rooting her phone and the process she described sounded closer to an exorcism than a rooting procedure - so good luck on your quest.

Either way, as expected, the Thunderbolt is no longer supported by development. It was definitely a well-built device, but like everything else, time eventually catches up.

I don't recall it being that hard to root, but again it's been a while since I did it. There for a while there was quite a few roms for it. BAMF what I ran most of the time.
