Brand new Thunderbolt, I did have it rooted but just factory reset it, I no longer have root. I hold down the power button and BOTH volume arrows and get into the screen for recovery, when I go to it it gives me a black screen with a pic of a phone in the middle with a red triangle and a red exclamation mark over top the phone.
I want to root and get a new kernel but think it would not be smart to proceed until I fix this problem. Jeesh, had it less than 12 hours and broke it already haha.
So, how do I get it to let me in there so I can make a nandroid backup?
I'm pretty certain you need to be rooted to access recovery.
Well, last night when I WAS rooted I tried it and it didn't work either. Well, I will try that tonight around 5PM EST and let you know if rooting allows me in. Honestly, I factory reset the phone after I rooted it because I thought the way I rooted it messed it up. Now I am thinking that is not true.
You have to be rooted to get into recovery. Also, and I am not 100% sure about this, if you did a factory re-set and didnt re-root and then reinstall CWR then there wont be a recovery for you to access.
You're looking at the stock recovery. You need to reroot and flash CWM to be able to install custom zips.

A factory reset shouldn't cause you to lose root. That just wipes data/cache. I would return to stock, root again and go from there. There's a thread in the development section on how to return to stock.
Did you flash CWM after rooting??? You can't do **** without that.
Ok, here is what I did, i took a factory thunderbolt and followed all the directions on this link.
http://www.thunderboltforums.com/fo.../1233-rs-guide-how-root-your-thunderbolt.html
Then, I downloaded rom manager and busybox and was about to try and install a kernal. I wanted to make a nandroid back up and thats when I noticed this problem. I also think I lost my 3g access then too. So, I went to factory reset and then tested the root checker app and it said I had NO ROOT.
I am rather noobish so please make the directions on how to fix this simple HAHA. I am also wondering if the link above has good root instructions and how would I install a kernel on the thunderbolt? Even a link to a thunderbolt kernel thread would be sweet!! THanks!!
I will wait for someone to let me know if that link is any good before I root with it again.

Honestly, idk what that is.. Sry, the only other phone i rooted was my incredible through the one step Unrevoked method.
I think the directions in the link above might have missed something that a noob like me would not have picked up on. Something you guys prolly would have known right away.
Go to xda Tbolt dev section, find the root how-to thread and re-root

CMW is ClockworkMod Recovery. It's the recovery you flash in ROM Manager.
Follow this thread for rooting. There's a few other methods in the development section that have scripts so you don't have to manually push through ABD. Doing it yourself is more fail safe though and also a good learning experience.

Downloading Rom Manager is NOT installing custom recovery but a way to do so.
Once RM is installed open it up & choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. That will install the latest recovery from which you can run backups and such.

So... Just my 2 cents. You said you downloaded clockworks and busy box, but I never saw you reference super user. That should have been download number 1 after root. Without that, you're not doing anything.

In ROM Manager if you select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery", Rom Manager will do just that.
It will flash your recovery.

Ok I guess I am not fully understanding this. What does it really mean to "flash" your "recovery"?
Does this mean to make a copy of your current phone, like a nandroid backup? Or does it mean to access a copy you have already made and revert your system to that prior copy? Or am I wrong on both?

The answer to your first question of the first link being any good...that would be a big NO. Your phone never rooted from the start due to faulty directions posted. As far as flashing a recovery from clockworkmod that basically means when you need to get to the recovery screen this is the program that will bring you there with the understanding that you flash the recovery. NOW to do that there is an option at the top of the screen which says
" Flash ClockworkMod Recovery "
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.5
Once you flash it will show this:
Flash CLockworkMod Recovery
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.3.5
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.5
TO FLASH YOU SIMPLY SELECT THIS BOX AND IT WILL BRING UP A SCREEN TO CONFIRM PHONE MODEL AND THEN WILL ASK FOR SUPERUSER PERMISSION WHICH YOU MUST GRANT ACCESS TO AT ALL TIMES.

Yup - Read that. There is one additional ROM that is not in that list, which i personally prefer.
In the Dev forum, Xboarders has posted a GB OTA ROM that has been rooted - other than that, it is purely stock. If you don't want to run a ROM that has had many changes made (and requires it be updated quite frequently), i would suggest flashing this once you have clockwork mod installed.

Correct. Follow the instructions for the one click nvflash tool to flash clockworkmod recovery and then flash whichever rom you want. If you want the stock GB rom there is a pre rooted version of it in the development section that you can flash once you get recovery flashed to your phone properly.

Geovanny he's correct follow the instructions to install clockwork
1. Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Instructions found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
2. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery by turning off your phone and turning it on with the volume down and power button held down until you see the clockworkmod recovery boot screen.
3. Install the zip found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
4. You are now rooted with the stock GB rom.
i try doin the steps and in the 1st step of rooting the phone the superoneclick just froze like it says superoneclick is not workin and i got scare so i x it out... what can i do?
Why did you try superoneclick if you already knew it doesn't work and we already told you it wouldnt work?
Nvflash clockwork mod recovery using the one click tool. Boot into recovery. Wipe data, wipe dalvik cache. Flash rom of choice. Fix permisssions. Reboot. That's it.

Well u could but with the g2x its what we call a fake flash, basically if u installed a wrong file or something like that And u went into a bootloop u wouldn't be able to get into recovery, that's y we recommend flashing recovery the nvflash method this way if something bad ever happens u can get into your phone by pressing volume down and power. And fix it, with rom manager u can't do that, now once u have recovery installed on ur phone just download that rom they told u to do (xboarders) then go into recovery after u put xboarders zip on the root of ur sdcard, wipe data, wipe cache, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache then install the zip, then boot up andyou have a rooted gb rom and will stay rooted

The dalvik cache is basically Androids way of optimizing apps so they load faster and your system runs smoother. If you don't clear it when switching to a different rom it can possibly cause issues like boot loops, etc. Not sure if its cleared by clockwork with a data wipe/factory reset so I always clear it through the advanced menu. It doesn't hurt to clear it more than once so I figure better to be sure its cleared.
After you clear it your first reboot can take several minutes depending on how many apps you have installed as it has to rebuild the dalvik cache for all your apps.

Installing clockworkmod recovery will allow you to flash alternative roms onto your phone. If the rom you flash is rooted then yes you will have root. Most of the custom roms are rooted.
And yes you can do a battery calibration. What problems are you having with your battery?

Not at first because it's going to be released a CWM recovery flashable zip. If you go to the Charge developer forum and Odin over the latest CWM recovery by Imnuts, you will be able to install it easily when it is released.

Close. You don't need to install the previous version (1.9.1) but you can if you want to. You just have to Odin over the latest CWM recovery (this will root your phone). When the 2.0 zip is released then you just place it on your SD card, enter recovery by holding volume up + home + power until the SAMSUNG logo flashes twice and then choose to install zip from SD card. Make sure to do a factory reset, and wipe the cache partition and dalvik cache (under advanced) before flashing the zip in recovery. You may not understand all of that now, but when you're in recovery mode it will make sense.

You don't need to touch Altered Beast unless you want it. I'm fairly certain that using Odin to flash CWM will provide root (I haven't done it in a long while). If it does not, after flashing CWM, just install this zip from your SD card in recovery and that will provide root.

No problem chief. Feel free to post back with any question.
If you are on the stock kernel you will need to boot directly to recovery and flash the SU .zip after odin CMW, or else the recovery will be overwritten by the stock kernel.
Your best bet is to wait till GC FE 2.0 is released, then odin CWM, and boot direct to recovery and flash the 2.0 .zip. then you are done in a couple steps.
That'll work too.
so now the waiting game begins lol

I don't think they work with TWRP. They will flash fine but they wont boot. I had the same problem as the OP when i flashed them. I guessing its because they aren't setup for unlocked phones yet. OP all you need to do is wipe using TWRP then flash the cyanogen mod 10 leak posted by CVPS. Make sure you flash gapps and you will be good to go.
Locked or unlocked phone shouldn't matter as far as the Rom is concerned, it's been stated many times that the kexec kernels will boot fine on an unlocked phone. I would suggest starting fresh, stock ODIN, root, unlock, then flash CWM 6.0.1.0 with ez recovery and go from there.
Some people are not having any issues with the touch recoveries and others are, in my experience the CWM recovery has been the most stable and I could really care less about "touching" my recovery, buttons do the same thing. Just my 0.02

4-MAKE A ****ING BACKUP!!! very important...

Kexec roms don't but synergy should have. I use twrp and Synergy no problem. There isn't anything special that has to be setup for an unlocked bootloader.
Op you should be able to flash any non kexec rom. Did you do a wipe factory reset? If not you may want to give that a try
I have flashed my phone a couple times with the leaks from here and now I am at the JB 4.1.2. but not with the premium suite. Is it possible to go back to factory and receive the official update from Verizon or is there a leaked build with the premium suite available. I have looked and not found any.

The link is to a full ROM you flash in recovery. So if you have root, unlocked the bootloader, and installed a custom recovery, you can flash the ROM in the link (and the firmware in post 2) and be on the latest official OTA.
If you are still stock and haven't got the latest OTA, you may just have to wait until it gets pushed to your device.

That is what I am not sure abaout. Each time I downloaded a link and installed it I used Odin v3.07 and also got firles(from xda) that had No Data wipe. SO if that means I am rooted, I am not sure. I have downloaded, then connect phone to Odin, install file and voila, it is back up. That is why I do not know. Thanks a million!

I would suggest you install ROM Manager. Once installed (it will only work if you have root), you can have it flash a custom recovery (Clockwork Mod" or "TWRP). You can then use the ROM manager to boot into the recovery you just flashed. Once in recovery you can flash those 2 zip files.
You would be well served to understand this a bit better but the ROM Manager will get you there with a minimum of knowledge. You can search here on XDA for instructions on flashing with CWM or TWRP, whichever you choose.
Good luck

I am trying to root the phone and it keeps telling me that there are no privileges???? I am trying to root and just cant get past that.
Go to the play store and download a root checker (there are several free ones) and it will tell you if you have root. If not, use one of the many guides to root. I suggest this one, follow this guide to root and install custom recovery Once you are rooted with a custom recovery you can flash the rooted version of the VRBLMD3 and the associated modem, RPM. etc.
