This is probably asked a lot, however in my search I didn't see anything on it lately;
Is a reliable 1-click root process out yet for the HTC Thunderbolt?
I'm guessing you haven't looked in the dev section yet...

I looked (couldn't post in there at the time) but must have missed that one. Thank you!
I should have been more specific. Was hoping for unrevoked version.

No fully reliable 1click exists, your best bet is the manual method.
here you go This guy is very helpful.

Hi,
Had nexus s for about 2 weeks. Best phone I've ever had, but I'm thinking of rooting it. I've done loads of reading about rooting and been trying out the initial steps. I had a struggle getting the drivers installed, but using the pdanet workaround which I found on this forum (thanks to the op of that thread), I now have the option to go ahead with oem fastboot unlock. I haven't done it yet as I still have questions, and I've been searching all over the place for answers but I'm still not too clear, so had to post.
--------------
I want to root as I am sick of the phone resetting my ringtones and google don't seem to be responding to this bug. I know that if i root it I can copy my ringtones over into the system ringtone folder and get rid of the problem.
Also fancy installing cyanogen mod once they come up with one for nexus s.
--------------
Can I definitely get the phone back to stock if I need to. I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884097 and it looks like I can, but some posters said some things that make me wonder?
I've read that the nexus s can't really be bricked because of the recovery that is hardwired on the phone. Is that true? It was expensive and I don't want to brick it. Bricked an n95 a while back and that was depressing.
Can i get superuser access without installing a custom rom. I'd be quite happy if I could just get superuser accesss (or just be able to copy over to system ringtones folder) and the OS would stay the same.
Do I need a custom recovery. I downloaded one from xda after a bit of searching, but is it needed.
Sorry about all the noob questions - but you are always a noob sometime
Hope somebody can advise.
Cheers

Thanks for your post. It's too late now anyway. I rooted the thing and I am glad I did. No problems so far that I have found, and I got the poxy ringtones problem solved.
For anybody else that finds themselves in my complete noob position, I found this tutorial the most comprehensive - http://completeandroid.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/complete-guide-to-rooting-the-nexus-s/ .
Maybe not too late if you need to go back to stock for warranty purposs though eh?! ;-)

Lol that's sort of how it goes. You can check out the development section for some guides on just how to return to stock. If you can't find the links check the stickied thread about roms themes and kernels

Thanks, I was too involved in getting new rooted phone setup last night that i wasn't reading posts very thoroughly.
I've run across a three or so Thunderbolt root methods now, and I'm wondering which is the best way to do it now. I'm purchasing my TB this weekend after a long decision making process, so I figured I'd become knowledgeable about the root process before I get it. Thanks!
My vote goes for the manual root method. Helps with understanding what's involved in rooting our phones.
Let's say we already know what's going on with our phone, just need to root on the go.... Then what?

+1 for manual root. As long as you follow the guide to the letter you should have no issues. When I did it, I thought I was having a problem, but then I realized I was trying to repeat a step. Just take your time and you'll be fine.
There is only one root method, however automated versions exist.
Many cases of the automated one failing and causing problems.
+1 manual

+1 to that. There is also an auto root. you have to login to androidcentral.com, but much simpler if that is what you are looking for.
Thunderbolt Auto Root
Perhaps I'll manual root. I'm still on my Droid and I did the SBF root when 2.2 wasn't rooted yet. But I've never rooted in ADB before.
I just set up ADB on my new computer in preparation. Perhaps I'll read the guide in advance. RootzWiki guide the best idea?
What are the complications of the auto root? I'm just curious.
Thanks for this guys! My Bolt is due to arrive next week and this is just the info I was looking for.

Good Point. I couldn't find the thread. Much respect to you jcase.
Autoroot worked just fine for me. I have no idea what problems people are having with it but I suspect they're caused by not reading and following the instructions carefully.
Hello guys I'm new to this forum. I just got the htc inspire would like to know if I can root this phone with super one click root. I'm coming from the tmobile samsung vibrant and that phone is very easy to install and root the phone. All is needed just an update. Zip file to get into recovery. Or what's the easiest way to root I would love to see cm7 on this puppy.

No. Super one click will not work with this phone.
There are two rooting methods that are available, the hack kit by Attn1 and Simple root by bubby, both of which require the creation of a gold card, and are available in the dev section.
Please make sure you understand thoroughly the method you choose, read the manuals/faq's, and direct any questions you have to the method's thread, after of course, you have made a reasonable attempt at searching for previous answers to the question.
Chances are someone has already run into a difficulty and has had it assessed.
Good luck....

Hi fellas, YEAH !! I"m just a nob
I just bought my first Android Phone, yes....left behind my Iphone 3GS to get into the Real Game now ! ;-)
So, would you people help me know a bit more about this? I need to know how to upgrade my HTC Inspire 4G, from Froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
Thanks all of you beforehand,
RUben.
At this point, root is the only way. View the stickie, as it has the two root methods, and read read read. Start with reading the root method threads and decide which you want to go with. The key is, don' t be in a hurry to root until you have a fair understanding of what you will be doing.

And now that this has been quoted twice as well, make it 9 times.
Oh Thanks !! Well, I know the root process is the fact that being gaining admin access within the device, in order to make any kind of changes at the kernel level or anything else right ?
Now, my device is unlocked, that necessary means it's also rooted ?
Thanks,
Ruben

Oh Thanks! and Yeah, that was the first post I'd read when I came into this cool website... The thing is, the guide is amazing, and those two ways to root the device seems great !! it's just that, what else after that ? I'm talking about being upgrading to Gingerbread, let's think the bases are ready (rooted, flashed, unlocked..) so then what ? should I download something and use some king of soft to upgrade my Inspire ? You know, I know all about Iphone and the way to jailbreak and unlock and upgraded and so on, but NOTHING about android.. as I said, I'm just starting.. Thanks a lot for all the advises... And SORRY for being posting this on the wrong thread!
Thanks,
Ruben,

Upon reading it, did you miss the part about flashing a rom? Since you want Gingerbread you will need to instal one. Hence the how to instal a rom portion.
The Inspire forums have many subforums. one of them is the dev forum. This would be your next reading material. But I suggest you read the guide again. Good luck.
Oh.. I got it !! The flashing process is basically the installation of a "firmware" into the phone, which would be in this case a gingerbread.
Thanks !

There are quite a few good GB Roms available. I prefer Pure so I use an AOSP Gingerbread rom, but there are sense ones too.
See My Sig and many other users here for their personal set ups. And of Couse I stress the reading. Te Dev forum has so much.

Rom/kernel = gingerbread or whatever (froyo, etc.)
Though there obviously hasn't been an official inspire gingerbread release, what you'll find in the dev section has been modified as required from the gingerbread release for the desire hd, pretty much the same phone.
There's a lot of them. Most of the newer ones are based on gingerbread.
Just keep on reading and u will find all the answers you need. It's s privalge to have s answer given to you without reading lol trust me I know lol

Yes it can be rooted but you're going to have to do some reading and research. There's no quick "one click root" method.

Rooting this phone is easy. Make sure you have Samsung drivers installed, download Odin, download custom recovery, Odin custom recovery, download and flash systemless root. Done.
Do a search and you'll find what you need.

Please be aware that you will lose Samsung Pay by tripping Knox and there's no way of getting it back. You will also lose Android Pay while rooted.
