Unrevoked does not work for the thunderbolt

Doing things with ADB is a good way to start learning.
If you can't read instructions and can't simply copy and paste/extract some files on your SD card and copy and paste commands, you shouldn't root your phone.

Learned adb today and I feel so much better about rooting and flashing roms now.

Wasn't bad. Most of my time was waiting on the flash to complete.

Let me set this straight. Unrevoked are great people that make a great product.
We made EVERYTHING available to Joshua from unrevoked, prior to our release. He was more than helpful, and really nice. Any differences we had were put aside. We both have the same goals, a reliable easy root.
...
Then a single member, not a team as a whole (from what I understand that made the comments) made some uneducated and incorrect comments. He was rude, wrong and hurtful to our community as a whole. I have preserved a screen shot, since his comment was deleted from Engadget.

Matthew made it a point to be hurtful, but obviously does not pay attention. Let's address his concerns.
A) Correct it is an ENG HBoot, we could not set s-off in the nvram. The radio config seems to be locked, and the emmc attack does not unlock it. Of course if Matthew was paying attention, he would know this. FAIL
B) We have had over 1200 downloads of the root files, from our monitored mirrors (thats about 1/3 of mirrors). ZERO BRICKS to date. Not during development, not from users. FAIL
C) You can return to stock by flashing an RUU, it will not brick your phone. This has been proven over and over. Of course Matt would know this if he paid attention, but he didn't. FAIL
D) The "SECURITY WARNING" is easily removed, by flashing an RUU. If Matthew had paid attention, he would knows this. FAIL
Here is the big one..."Perhaps the real work should be done by scotty2 and the folks who know what they are doing as opposed to jcase and team".
Now this right here shows you that Matthew Fogle is a troll, nothing less. He has no clue what he is talking about, he did not read our root tutorial. scotty2 was crucial to it, and was as involved, if not more involved than anyone else. scotty2 continues to sit in our chat servers, and is always more than helpful to "noobs", including me. DOUBLE FAIL
Hopefully unrevoked does their magic, however they lost all of my respect today, at least until they handle their own people.
Get your crud right Matt.
-the noob "jcase"

jcase.... here is your best solution.... ignore everyone else and keep your thoughts to yourself on others... everytime you open your mouth you make yourself look worse and worse.
He pointed out valid concerns.. he never flamed you, if someone pointing out facts about a method hurts your feelings then man up bro....
Even scotty2 above agree's with his facts... accept it and move on... calling out FAIL and other bs makes YOU look bad...
And don't get all pissy about this post either... I'm being honest and direct so you will get it, in an effort to HELP YOU!
Thanks for all you guys do, but man up and stop the BS.

Everyone I think just needs to be happy we have root, s-off, and give credit were it is do. All this arguing is unnecessary. Not picking any sides let's just help each other to enjoy their phone the way they want to.

Is there a reason this thread still exists? Or at the very least isn't closed?
I'm not a noob, I've been in computers since before most of these people were born. That said, I like to know what's going on in the background when I do these types of things. I ALSO like to have the simplest way to get things done.
I did not use the first method AndIRC posted to root my phone. I looked at it and decided I would would wait for something cleaner, but I appreciated the fact that it was there. I did use the second method. It's cleaner, and ends with a current ROM.
I will however recommend unRevoked to anybody who asks me how to root a TB should they provide it. Why? Because it's easier than teaching them how, or doing it for them.
There's a place for everything.
This entire thread should just be deleted and forgotten. I don't know these guys except in passing, but I do know they are all above this sort of behaviour.
Just my two cents.

New Inspire owner here

I'm not to the sight but I'm not to the Inspire and so far I like it. I haven't messed with it to much but so far so good. I was with Tmobile and had the G2x and I have to say so far I loved that phone. I left Tmobile because there coverage sucks where I live at so I switched to AT&T to the Atrix and that phone was ok. Well my dumb azz dropped in water, so I used my G2x since I had it unlocked until I found someone to trade my G2x for the Inspire.

The only "help" I will offer is go the the inspire development section and see the hack kit thread. That is what you use to root. From there, as long as your read everything, you should be fine.

Exactly man! Believe me when I say it I was a huge noob when it came to this phone (i.e. see my noob debacle in flashing radios in the thread I created when I first became a member) since then and by applying a reading level above the 4th grade, I've been able to educate myself and eliminating the need for pointless threads that have been created and locked and created and locked and created and locked over and over and over again, you kinda see how that gets annoying from time to time

And while researching, it's entertaining see an occasional noob get torn a new one.
What does "root" mean, anyway?

Here in the inspire forums we like to do things ourselves. We also eat babies, beat our wives and not pick our children up from school. Now excuse me I'm going to go and cyberbully someone in another thread since they asked the same question.
Welcome to the inspire forums.

ROM Flashing Newb Question

I recently converted to the Android side, rooted, customized, etc etc etc. Now I'd like to root for further theming, bloat removal, and whatever other optimizations come along with that.
But, after reading various ROM threads for Skyrocket, it seems there are a ton of issues that pop up that, as a total newb, I wouldn't be immediately able to resolve on my own. Not just the threat of bricking my phone, but losing MMS capability, or WIFI not working right, and so on.
My questions: Is it worth the hassle? Are these issues minor and quickly resolved? Can I truly brick my Skyrocket ("brick" to me means render it permanently inoperable)? Which ROM is the most popular for Skyrocket?
Thanks for your patient responses.

Yes you can truly brick your skyrocket. If u accidentally have re-partition checked in odin is a good way to do that. Yes rooting is worth it. You cant just jump in and do it. You need to research, and understand what your doing before hand. Learn what rooting is. Learn the basics. What odin is. What a tar is. What cwm is. Just read read read. Then when you do decide to taje the leap follow all instructions posted exactly.
Everyone has a best rom of choice. Depends on the person. I choose red sonja rom. To me its the best. Butbonce you root, and learn how to flash a rom. You will have to try them, and decide which is.best for you
---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------
We all started as noobs. And through lots of reading and research weball learn. The ins and outs

Exactly what silver said. I crapped my pants with my first root and flash... Ended up soft-bricking and with all the research I did I fixed it. Youtube is a really big help too! Make sure you have a backup and backup plan. Good luck and welcome to the smart side of smart phones!
Knowledge is the way to go

Thanks. I guess the threat of bricking my phone is somewhat deterring. Guess I'll keep reading around on it.

It is but if you take the proper precautions and have all the available files you'll be alright. And for God sakes make sure you have debugging checked.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Just read the guides is my advice. I've only been doing this for a few weeks, and xda has provided with the best help by far. This is my first true smart phone.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^agree with everyone. i used to mess with my g-tablet while i had my iphone (jailbroken of course) and now i just got the skyrocket knowing that xda would provide tools to modify the phone from its orignial capabilities. having a little knowledge of cwm and flashing roms i felt that it would be fairly simple to apply the same tools to my skyrocket. after reading and reading through every thread i was skepticle about rooting and flashing a custom rom to my phone because of all the problems people were having. the MOST important thing is READ and UNDERSTAND the instructions before you do anything. even after my experience with the tablet, it still took me 3 weeks to fully understand what i needed to do and what i needed to do it. i rooted a few days ago and yesterday i flashed skyscreamsandwich, and today i applied the camara hack. i love this phone 10X more than i did stock and looking forward to more. the ones having so many issues are not following proper instructions and not doing reasearch thus soft bricking or even bricking their phones (and trust me i know from experience, i bricked an atrix) still takes guts do dive in, no guts no glory!!! just my 2c good luck...

Thanks again. Of course, if I do brick it, I probably wouldn't count on AT&T replacing the thing..

If you brick, don't panic. Worst case scenario a jig would be needed to unbrick. Soft brick can be undone without much grief. Just read before you do anything.

yup, we were all noobs at one point.
Most important thing to remember on the forums, READ before you ask questions. This is not because we don't like to answer questions, but when it's a question that has been asked hundreds of times before and answered......it gets aggravating.
Sometimes you will not find the answers you are looking for in the SkyRocket forums....sometimes you will need to venture into other parts of xda. Google is also your friend as well as other sites like RootzWiki.
Also remember to be polite and patient when asking questions. When I first started I always asked the question followed by a plea for forgiveness if I was asking something that had been answered. It also helps to post links or sites where you did go search for answers. It's a good thing to show you are being pro active in looking for your answer and not just expecting everyone to solve your issue.
We have to remember. These are OUR phones, not anyone elses on the forums, WE have to take responsibility for our own devices. Whatever you do with YOUR phone is entirely on YOU, not the Devs or xda or anyone else that may have answered a question for you.
Following these basic ideas makes for a better community. I believe in community, I had a great bunch of friends over in the Captivate forums......which most of them remain friends on Google +
I look forward to making more friends here on the SkyRocket forums.....and together we can make this a kick ass community.

I think it already is a kickass community. And hopefully remains that way.

So You Want to Root and Mod Your HTC One X/XL

Hey there! I’m guessing you've got yourself a shiny new HTC One X/XL, and you've heard about this thing called "rooting" and how it supposedly can let you do all sorts of things that your carrier won't let you do, or something like that. You arrived here a little while ago from Google or by clicking a link in some blog, and you're now nosing around trying to figure out what you're supposed to do.
But stop! Wait! You've skipped over the most important question: Should you even be here in the first place?
This is not a trivial question. Making modifications to the software on your phone is not like getting your car painted or putting on some new rims or a spoiler. It's much more analogous to replacing the fuel injectors, or modifying the intake, or changing the valve timing. If you don't know what you're doing, there's a very real chance you can render your phone permanently inoperative.
This post is not going to explain how to root, unlock, or do anything else to your phone, because there are already several other threads in the Development section about that (and no, I'm not linking to them—way too soon for that). The purpose of this post is to help you determine whether you should do it at all, and if so, what you need to know beforehand.
We're going to start by taking a short quiz.
1. Which is the most accurate assessment of your comfort level with computers and electronics?
a. I keep the Geek Squad on speed-dial.
b. I generally know what I'm doing, but I'm careful not to get in over my head.
c. I'm the guy my friends and family come to when they have computer problems.​
2. What is Linux?
a. It's, um, a computer thing.
b. It's the operating system upon which Android is based, but I had to go to Wikipedia to look that up.
c. chmod 004 linuxfordummies.docx​
3. How do you feel when your computer or some other gadget isn't working the way you want it to?
a. It's a royal pain in the ass.
b. It's not the end of the world, but I can do without it.
c. It's an opportunity to learn and problem-solve.​
4. Which most accurately characterizes your relationship with your smartphone?
a. Um, relationship? It's a phone—I just need it to work.
b. I like to play around with the settings and find interesting apps.
c. I'm not happy unless I've tweaked and customized it enough that I feel it's a good reflection of who I am as a person. Also, this reflection changes by the week.​
5. You're in the middle of trying to solve a particularly frustrating problem with your computer when your spouse/significant other announces that s/he wants to have sex. What do you do?
a. Drop everything and seize the booty.
b. Curse your computer under your breath and head for the bedroom.
c. Reply, "Sorry, honey, can you give me ten more minutes?"​
Give yourself 3 points for each "c" answer, 1 point for each "b", and subtract 3 points for each "a". Then total up your score and check the chart below:
13-15: Welcome, brother! You may proceed.
11-12: You'll probably be all right, but be careful. You may be setting yourself up for more frustration than all this is really worth.
10 or less:
Stop now, head over to Android Forums, and don't look back. Trust me, you'll be much better off in the long run.
…
Still here?
Okay. Just because you're coming in with the right attitude and background doesn't mean you aren't still going to get yourself in serious trouble. Before going any further, there are several rules you must commit to memory.
1. Do Not Make Any Changes to Your Phone Until You Have a Good Understanding of What You're Doing
You wouldn't go under the hood of your car and start rewiring things and rerouting hoses based on some vague understanding of something you read on the Internet, right? You shouldn't do the same thing to your phone.
This is the reason that “One-Click” and “All-in-One” solutions should be scrupulously avoided, no matter how attractive they may be to you at the moment.
I cannot stress this too much. Using these tools allows you to skip over important learning processes and avoid learning things you really need to know. They make it much easier for you to get into a situation you have no clue how to get out of (and we’ll come back to that below). You’re better off in the long run skipping the one-click tools and taking the time to learn how to do things manually. Basically, you pay cash now, or pay later with interest.
At a minimum, before you do anything, you should be able to explain these three concepts:
-What root access means
-What you're changing when you unlock your bootloader
-What you're replacing when you flash a custom ROM or kernel​
How do you find all this out? That's the next point.
2. Become Your Own Expert
You're probably feeling pretty intimidated right now looking at all these discussions throwing around terms, abbreviations, and acronyms that make no sense to you. That's normal—in fact, it's a good sign. If you're not intimidated, you should probably leave now, because you're lacking the sense of caution that will keep you out of trouble.
You're naturally going to be drawn to people who appear to know what they're doing. Be very careful about this. Some do know what they're doing, and some only think they do. The problem is that it can be very hard to tell them apart. That's why the worst thing you can do is go into a thread and start asking, "What am I supposed to do here?" before you know enough to be able to weigh the answers you get.
You may get help from someone who knows the answer you're seeking, and you may find someone who's just a recent noob feeling flush with a little new-found expertise. Or, worst of all, you may have the bad luck to run into someone who enjoys tricking noobs into bricking their phones. These folks are thankfully rare, but they do exist.
Ultimately, you've got to do your own learning, not piggyback on someone else's. That leads to our next rule.
3. Google is Your Friend
Yeah, I know, it's a cliché. But it's a cliché because it's true.
Your experiences are not new. Your questions, almost certainly, have been answered before (and in the case of most noob questions, hundreds or thousands of times before). You should start by reading the threads here, but every time you come across a concept or term you're not familiar with, flip to another window and Google it. "How to X" and "What does X mean" are your two most powerful tools. Use them often. (If you're not proficient enough with Google to manage this, you've got no business modding your phone anyway.) Bit by bit, you'll start to feel less lost and start developing the context to understand what people are talking about.
But didn't I just say not to trust what people tell you?
Yes. However:
4. Trust the Hivemind
That rule applies individually, not collectively. In fact, gauging collective experiences is an excellent way to see what's what. When a new exploit, ROM, or mod gets posted, there is invariably a flow of responses as people try it out. Pay close attention to these discussions before you do anything.
There are almost always a few bugs and updates to anything new. That alone shouldn't deter you too much. But it's best to wait until you start seeing people posting praise, thanks, and confirmation that their phones are working well before you dip your feet in the water.
But you're still not there yet. Just because other people are having success doesn’t mean you will.
5. Don't Do Anything to Your Phone That You Don't Know How to Undo
Who are all these people rushing to act as guinea pigs? By and large (there are exceptions), these are experienced modders who know how to get themselves out of any trouble they get into. In general, if you know what you're doing, you can take your phone back to stock without too much effort. But reverting some of these changes often depends on doing things in the right order, making backups before you start, and so on.
All of us were noobs once, and most of the people here are willing to help out new users with the right attitude. But few things are more frustrating than someone who jumps on a new mod or rom, and then posts, "That didn't work, I think I’m bricked, OMG what do I do??"
You need to figure that stuff out beforehand.
Also, it's worth pointing out that everyone makes mistakes. You're going to make a mistake at some point, probably several. Proper planning and preparation will minimize the fallout when you do.
But—there is another "but" here, and it’s a big one.
6. You May Kill Your Phone
Modding your phone carries a certain risk. Phones get permanently bricked around here on a regular basis, especially when new mods and tools get released. No matter what you do, no matter what precautions you take, there is a possibility you may render your phone permanently unusable, with nothing left to do but return it and hope you can get a replacement (and hope your carrier won't realize what you did).
This risk applies to everyone. Even experienced devs have been known to brick phones because they forgot a critical step to some routine process.
If you're not comfortable taking that risk, or you can't afford to deal with the consequences, you need to leave. Period. You've been warned. You'll get sympathy (unless you did something stupid and won't own up to it), but don't expect anyone to reimburse you, least of all the dev who posted the tool you were trying to use. It won't happen, and asking will just get you a lot of derision.
Got all that? Good luck, and happy modding.

Wow that is the greatest post I've ever seen. Gave me a good laugh.
Edit: I've gotta agree with the fact that using one click solutions to root etc really doesn't help you learn because I have almost messed my phone up on a few occasions and without knowing the basics of adb I would have been a goner. There is no one click solution to fixing your problems...

It's a funny post, but r-tards can pick up a part time job rooting phones.

Id have to agree on the one click deal also, im also leary of the aroma installer and hub now also. i know its very rare for someone to have problems with them but i did and now it cost me 60 bucks to fix. just because you learn what you are doin and are comfortable with the various things you can do, sometimes things dont go right or there is spaz in the hardware and it will render you useless

I'm happy to share it; I was just concerned that having this as my first post over there might come across as somewhat obnoxious.

If you precede the post with: "mdmower requested this post be ported to the fireball community" you'll run into no issues.

[Q] Updating the firmware

I am 2.20 rooted, supercid, and s-off'd and I want to update to the newest radio. How do I go about that? And should I?

Again, another one who is rooted AND s-off, obviously didnt do any reading. I just don't understand, if you can execute the first test, why not the next steps?

Smh, I can't stand these nerds who reply without a answer. You respond to post with a question to make you feel what? Have y'all ever thought that someone just doesn't understand and want tall to put it in simpler terms. Noob proof as you would call it. I go to the q & a to ask a question and expect to get answer. I ain't reading 20-300 posts in one thread. I even asked should I update it. I can't stand when people answer only one part of the question. I appreciate the reply from the first dude. I've been in there and don't know what to flash. And if I should.

First off, we all learned by reading. Too simplify it, it depends on what ROM you have. If are on a ROM based off of sense, then choose that. If not choose aosp. Simple. Obviously you want AT&T, right? Don't make it harder than it already is.

What he said. Sense radios for Sense ROMs, aosp radios for aosp ROMs. It's a matter of trial and error for what works best in your area, and which radio gives you a combination of good performance and good battery life. If you're with AT&T you don't necessarily need to use the AT&T radios. I'm with Telstra in Australia but I'm using the AT&T 3.18 radio and it works beautifully for me. In saying all that, is there anything wrong with your current radio? What is triggering you to think you need to change it?

Lol!! Sorry Gary for sending u here! Didn't think u would get flamed in q&a...guess if u were gonna get flamed might as well have posted in development! Jk. But OK I own n use a evo 4g lte. And we have firmware bits from the ota's. With things cut out like hboot recovery tp.img etc. It was also like this for my evo 3d. Since the one x n evo lte r almost the same phone I figured that the one x would also have a firmware thread. I saw the radio thread n that's cool but ota's have more than just radios in them from my limited understanding there r system wide improvements in otas. I did a mytouch 4g slide and u had to pull hboot n recovery yourself from the ruu then flash firmware. Is this a option? Aren't these things supposed to make your phone better. Just would like a better understanding from someone who has been here for a year. At&t BTW. Thanks for any help!

I am on at&t. I updated to the latest radio and did not see an improvement. As a matter of fact it was worse. I had to change settings to turn off lte auto. Would drop signal when connecting to different towers. If you plan on staying in one place it may improve your signal but if you have a 1.85 radio tower, it will make it worse until you change settings. My advice is if it's not broke, don't fix it.

My boy told me to update to the newest firmware and it said in a thread all these radios and I didn't want to flash just any cuz I don't want to brick my phone. I already bricked a xperia tl, doing something that I didn't know what I was flashing, so I asked a question in THE Q&A!!!! I'm pretty sure 8/10 questions in the q&a have already been answered. And I didn't get flamed. That's just how these people are.

I would just like to state that no one is flaming or being harsh. But this forum gets same questions asked over and over and over again. Which is why a frequently asked question thread has been posted. Now the community expects you to read that, and then of you STILL don't understand, then people we help. But if your first post is "how to root" no one is going to tale your seriously.
Why do you think there is a minimum post count? To get you used to searching and finding answers of the same question.

This is the ruu/firmware that I'm used to doing with all HTC phones I've had. This phone may b different n that's OK. There are more things in the ruu than just a radio. I obviously wouldn't want hboot n recovery to b flashed but the rest yea. Just prefer to b up to date as possible. Could it b possible that people have problems with new radios because they don't have the rest of the firmware that came with the radio??

No because all you're updating is a "driver" which would be independent of other hardware or drivers. A driver is only dependent on the hardware installed and not on other drivers.
It is possible however that certain roms perform better with certain "drivers".

Some people have had problems with wifi because the new base isn't fully compatible with older firmware. Flashing the new wifi firmware solves the issue. What's going on exactly, I don't know, but I had the issue and running the 3.18 ruu fixed it.
There's no harm in being fully up to date; you just need to be s-off before doing it.

I dont understand nothing yall talking about except for what Ielvis said. this is the reason why threads are so long because yall dont go str8 to the point. If i say how do you make a bowl of cereal? the answer should be STEP 1. CHOOSE A BOWL , STEP 2. CHOOSE YOUR CEREAL, STEP 3. POUR THE CEREAL INTO THE BOWL, STEP 4. POUR MILK INTO THE BOWL. EASY SIMPLE, ETC ETC... so with that said i have the 2.20 hboot with the 0.19as.32.09.11_2_10.105.32.25L, i live in Jersey and it says that the best radio is the
0.17.32.09.12_10.86.32.08L. how do I get that radio from that thread? Meaning which one should I choose?

If you rooted, it should all have made sense to you since you shouldn't be rooting without having an understanding of this stuff. If you rooted ignorantly, that's not my problem.

Awe come on Exad.... Hold his hand please.

SMH, I dont get people. Why do they respond without an answer? Really, Why? It was never YOUR problem, none of yall. Its mine, SO I come to XDA to find an answer not to have debates and arguments. If anyone one can just say flash this one ........ then post so I can end this thread, otherwise your wasting your time by wasting mine. I have to come here to see if I got answer but i get something totally irrelevant to my question. Im not going to respond to anymore comments other than the answer I am looking for. I rooted and flashed cuz I want to be different than everyone else. Strive53 put me up on flashing. If he doesnt know the answer then he'll tell me ask on XDA and thats what I did. Instead of researching for hours trying to find the answer, WHY NOT ASK?? I dont care if someone asked before, because alot of you dont give str8 answers. read the recent posts and youll understand. Only one of you wanted more info from me about my phone.

The problem with your question is there IS NO STRAIGHT answer, every phone reacts differently to different software/firmware combinations. Flash some radios and see which one works best. If you're radio is working fine right now, don't flash any radios. THE END.
The problem with doing things ignorantly, as you have now seen, is that you don't even understand the complexity of your question and as a result can't understand the answers.

Says AT&T 1.85 right there on the page. At least I think it does. Its kinda fuzzy and hard to read.
