Rooting my thunderbolt.

[Alexander24]

The thunderbolt is my first droid based phone ever, and rooting it seems difficult. I'm willing to learn whatever is necessary, but I'm looking for the easiest method. I'm the programmer for my robotics team, but we use labView, so its totally different. Suggestions?

I used this method and got it done without too much stress.

these guys did a great job of putting these together.

there are other methods that are here on the forum,but I'm not familiar w/them...maybe some of the others will put in there 2cents and let you know how they worked out.
