I set up ABD and did it Manually eek:Well Copy and Paste). I think this is the best way to see what is happening and you will have ABD setup for other things.
There is currently only one root method, as laid out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996616 .
The other ones are just automations of our method. Choice is your's, you will learn more and be prepared in case something goes wrong.

Yeah, I would recommend going with jcase's method.
Ok thanks I will look into it...I have a rooted EVO running on CM7 n my friend just got a thunderbolt n wanted to know how to save battery life n well rooting to me was probably the best way to go in order to save battery but he is worried about bricking his phone...

I did the manual adb root instructions are posted in the development forum its really not that hard and you kinda learn the ropes that way too.
I believe a one step method is now available...
Spelling method correctly.

+1 for manual root. Personally I like to see what's happening all the time. The process was flawless. Just gotta make sure you look out for typo's and make sure your MD5's are good, and you should be fine.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...build-2-11-605-2-ruu-for-the-htc-thunderbolt/
Anyone deodexing and rooting this?
Nice find.
Hopefully its the released version of GB for the Tbolt and will work its way into a vartiety of ROMs, such as NonS3ns3.
Do you know what radios go with it?
Is it safe to flash this if I am rooted, running gingerbread with s-off? I know I would lose root. Thanks.
As it stands right now, if you are currently rooted then do not flash this ruu.
Wait until the devs gave time to build and test.
Once a Rom can be pulled from this build, we may get an opportunity to try it out ;-)

Still have the time bomb issue in this rom with Talk and the camera. Must not be that new.

Does it have a different radio?

I'm pretty sure he didn't mean the other way around. Think about it... If you take the camera libs from 605.2 put them in a 605.0 ROM you have added all the changes from the new version without creating another virtually identical ROM.

If someone can make basic rooted odex of this would be much appreciated. Still got my old ThunderBolt lying around and I want to see if certain things are fixed with this new update.

odexed, rooted?
What about debloated?
I have an odex copy that I have had sitting on my hard drive for a week or so.

Debloated not necessary. I'd prefer completely stock just rooted.
Months ago I had so many problems rooting my MT4G. Recently, I decided to load the stock rom on my phone, just to root it all over again. I was able to do it in about 3 minutes! Here we go...
The following prerequisites can be found by searching/googling the forums.
1.) need VisionARY r14 .apk file
2.) need MyTouchRootingFiles (zip containing hboot_dhd.nb0, root.sh, and wpx.ko)
3.) download and install Android Terminal Emulator from Android Market
Ok, now that we got that out of the way, here are the instructions.
1.) Install VisionARY to your phone
2.) Unzip the MyTouchRootingFiles file to your computer, then copy the unzipped folder called ROOT to the root of your sdcard using usb cable
3.) While phone is NOT connected to computer, start VisionARY. Press the TEMP ROOT option to gain temporary root access. Exit VisionARY.
4.) Start Terminal Emulator and type the following, hitting enter after each line
SU
CD /SDCARD/ROOT
SH ROOT.SH​5.) After rebooting, start VisionARY again, and gain TEMP ROOT once again
6.) Wait a few minutes (this is very important, don't rush), then press ATTEMPT PERM ROOT, your phone will reboot
7.) After rebooting, start Terminal Emulator and simply type SU. If you get the "#", you have rooted your phone!
Now you can explore the Android world by installing custom roms created by the community. You may want to research how to backup your device before starting to flash roms.
Good luck!
This will only work if you have the good eMMC chip set W/ 2.2.x. And it's a pretty well known method of rooting phones. Heck i have this method in my signature from when i posted the same thing months ago.
You do know this method only works for froyo 2.2. Now a days mostly everyone is on gingerbread 2.3. Gingerbread bread updated device is more complex to root. It requires you to downgrade then root.
When I started rooting mt4g's this is the method I used and it took me about 3 to 5 minutes as well. This is also without using a pc. Everything done from the device. Its not as easy now though.

Yup, I'm aware. But anytime you get a MT4G from Tmo, it's still coming with 2.2... My instructions were basically for people that have had their Mt4g, but were afraid to root...

Not true. There are more threads than i care to count. That is coming with 2.3. That's the #1 reason i put together my "newcomers" thread. with these very same directions. Along with a link to check the eMMC, and install the ADB drivers.

Search the forums on how to check your eMMC chip. (I'd post the link, but i'm on my way to work & don't have it off hand. If you really can't find it, PM me & I'll find it.) Long story short, this method may not work, depending on the type of eMMC in your phone. You will
need to root via the gfree method, also available in the xda forums. Mackster248 has a great tutorial on YouTube.

Hey no problem. The android community is about knowledge-fully (if that's even a word) helping each other. And i know we all have to start somewhere.
Glad you got it working. Happy flashing!
It's a fast process if you know what your doing. Even if you don't it can still take only 10 minutes with downgrading

I used the method posted on the Cyanogen wiki at wiki[dot]cyanogenmod[dot]com/index.php?title=TMobile_myTouch_4G:_Full_Update_Guide#Rooting_the_HTC_Glacier
It says to uninstall VISIONary. VISIONary didnt work for me either.
I have tried this sooo many times.. First it was r14.. Then I heard it had to be r11.. At any rate... I never got a root.. Never got a rom.. Never got any success..

Me too, I loved the Rezound. I still have three of them.
I flashed the root 66 ROM on my first boot with the G3 and it works awesome.
I was familiar with Odin as my Wife has a Droid Charge (used to be mine), but it's very easy to use & almost foolproof.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788443 There's a link in the thread to root in the first post. Just follow those instructions and you should be good to go.

Yea, that is another option although Odin is a lot easier.
Downloading a "massive Odin package" is no big deal (I think it took me 10 minutes IIRC) unless you don't own a PC.

Samsungs are really flash friendly and it's not too difficult to de-brick with Odin.. Had two HTC phones and the entire process of rooting, unlocking the bootloader, s-off and carrier unlock seemed like more work than I ever done with a Samsung.
Root it, it's okay, really!

I'm trying to update my HOX and for some reason it won't happen. My phone downloads the latest OTA (4.0.4?), the phone restarts, goes to the install screen, the progress bar gets a quarter of the way, then a phone with a red triangle pops up. I have no idea what's happening. The phone will eventually restart again, and a pop up will show up and say, "update unsuccessful, please try again later."
Can someone please shed some knowledge. I'm pretty sure this phone isn't rooted or anything. Android is pretty new to me, coming from iOS after 5 years.
It's helping you from making a mistake.
If you accept the ota, then it's lights out for you if you want to unlock or root. Search a little bit, there's a thread with a pre-rooted 2.20 update on here. I'd recommend that. Good luck!
PS: My phone did the same exact thing. I was rooted, which I undid temporarily using Voodoo Rootkeeper, and also I had uninstalled some system bloatware using Titanium Backup. That was enough to cause the ota to fail. Thankfully.

Not sure what the problem is but if your dead set on taking the update and losing the ability to root or unlock in the near future the ruu is availible in the dev section or you can download it direct from HTC dev. I would highly recommend you do a little more reading before taking the plunge

Hold your tongue before the angry mob of pitchfork-weilding purists descend on you for not wanting to root! LOL
If you're new, I guess it makes sense, but there is a lot you can do with root, pretty basic stuff, that you can't without it. Like fixing the linkify issue and unlock the tethering app, and the built in tools like flashlight and the FM tuner.
So let the ota fail all it wants while you do some homework. Then call the shot. Good luck.

i would root the phone just to remove the bloatware, AT&T installs alot of it and some your can uninstall with titanium backup some youll want to freeze to make sure it doesnt F your system up. so much crap installed out of the box. Cleanrom is good, and i have used the prerooted 2.20 update as well both are good, im currently back to cleanrom, runs stable and i dont have to go crazy freezing and removing bloat

Rooting is growing on me. Pretty much like jailbreaking an iDevice?
Anyway, I upgraded my HOX using the computer RUU program from HTC's site. Can the phone still be rooted? I read something about a One-Click Root. Can someone point me in the right direction as I continue gathering knowledge
*edit*
Can the One X be downgraded back to previous firmwares? I'm on 2.20 now, from reading, it doesn't look like there's a root.

There is currently no root exploit for the 2.20 update and because there was also a new hboot in that update downgrades are not possible either

Ah, okay. Typical rookie mistake and upgrading. Guess, I'll be waiting for one then. With rooting are there any ETA's on when one will be out, or the developers keep it hush-hush like iOS guys?

No eta most of the work on any root exploit is usually done behind the scenes more because of the fact that some previous exploits were security holes so not revealing till it is verified as working prevents att or HTC to block or patch it.
