How I rooted my Thunderbolt 2.11.605.9

I got a new Thunderbolt and it came with 2.11.605.9 on it and would not downgrade no matter what I tried.
All these instructions and links came from several different posts on various forums.
This is the combination of things that worked for me to gain root access to the device.
The information and links I take no credit for.
Hope this helps someone as it has helped me.
I did not loose my data with this.
The text in purple are links to needed files, just put http:// in front of them.

i used these steps and I still have s on. When I tried to flash a new rom it gets stuck at the htc boot screen. Any help would be great!

I think I would use the downgrade to .5 then revolutionary from there..

I tried this just now but when it goes through the integrity check it does not give me the option to update.

Yes, if you can downgrade at all do it that way. It's much simpler. If you aren't familiar with linux the above will be a hassle for you.
Reason being is, you have to remount the file system to read write every time you want to make a change. It resets to read only on reboot. Thus the s-on.

the weird thing is I already have a rooted devices cause I have the cwm recover still loaded on my device. Just can not flash anything over it. Im on windows 7 right now but I dual boot my laptop with linux mint.

I haven't tried to flash a ROM yet. I just wanted access to some system files so I could edit them.
But according to the post I got the Clockwork info from the below steps should work to flash ROMs.
1. Copy <ROMname>.zip (where <ROMname> is the name of the ROM zip file) to your sdcard root
2. Start clockworkmod recovery :
---A. Unplug USB
---B. Turn the device off
---C. Hold volume down button (HOLD IT) and press power
---D. Hboot will start. Navigate to recovery with the vol down button. Press power to select and enter recovery.
3. Select "install zip from sdcard"
4. Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"
5. Then select "<ROMname>.zip"
6. Then select "Yes - install <ROMname>.zip" to confirm
7. Then go back
8. Then reboot.
I don't know however if the ROM has to be signed.

need a hero
I followed this guide and every other guide to root my phone. I could not downgrade the way the other guides told me to the 2.11.605.5 at all. I followed this guide and when i was in the bootloader i did the whole fastboot flash and it worked but now my phone still says s-on (strange thing is that I have the clockwork recovery). I can flash any rom but nothing will take and I either go into bootloop or will not boot past splash screen. I need a true hero to save the day. It is my only phone and means of communication.

Did you get SU and busybox installed?

I'm not sure, I can't boot in any rom so if it was in the su.zip this guide linked me to yes, if not i didn't. Could this be the problem? Can I fix it through h-boot or recovery?

The method I used will allow root access but does not give you s-off.
I'm still looking for what has to be done for that.
apparently you have to have s-off in order to flash a ROM.

I was able to flash skyraider and now have my phone up and running. I updated superuser, installed Rom manager and flashed clockwork recovery. My phone still says s-on and will not boot any bamf 3.5 roms or the eternity rom, so I'm still kinda confused as to why. I would love to have a sense 3.5 Rom but I'm stumped...

That is strange, being able to flash one ROM but not others.
I still think it's got to do with the s-on/s-off.
Supposedly ICS is coming for the T-Bolt soon.
I'm hoping it won't be locked down like 2.11.605.9 is.

i rooted as soon as rooting was available, no downgrading or anything, it was easy as pie. js

Have you tried going to revolutionary's site after the OP method and try to get s-off... HTC method will not give you s-off & is not a true rooting tool..

Big thanks to the OP for putting this together!
This was the only way for me to gain root on a factory flashed 605.9 phone.
EDIT: i'm a linux user so i thought i would share what i did to get root. it's basically what the OP did with a linux twist.
1) Get Fastboot and adb for linux here: forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=630613&stc=1&d=1308537 331
2) Extract the zip to your home directory.
3) open a terminal and issue the following command: sudo chmod 777 fastboot adb
4) Unlock the bootloader using this site: htcdev.com/bootloader
5) you will need to register/login to use the unlocking features of this site.
6) once logged in follow the "unlock device" links to get to the instructions. use these instructions to put the phone into fastboot mode and connect it to the computer. you can ignore the rest of the instructions as most of them are for windows. just click through until you get to the part about submitting an "unlock token".
7) with the phone in fastboot mode and connected to the computer issue the following command in a terminal: sudo ./fastboot oem get_identifier_token
8) copy this token into the submit box and edit to make it look similar to the example on the same page. submit the token and you'll get an email with a file "Unlock_code.bin"
9) save "Unlock_code.bin" to your home folder then issue the command: sudo ./fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
10) download clockwork recovery to your home folder from here: downloads.unrevoked.com/recoveries/cwm-4.0.1.4-mecha.img
11) issue the command: sudo ./fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-mecha.img
12) Download and install the superuser package
goo-inside.me/superuser/su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip
1. Copy su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip to your sdcard root
2. Start clockworkmod recovery :
---A. Unplug USB

---C. Hold volume down button (HOLD IT) and press power
---D. Hboot will start. Navigate to recovery with the vol down button. Press power to select and enter recovery.
3. Select "install zip from sdcard"

[Guide/Tutorial][11/14/12] Lost Root ? after an update or new ROM ?

Have You Lost Root? - Can't find or reinstall su (su binary) ?
Issue:
Your Transformer or other device is unlocked and rooted, you have a custom recovery like ClockworkMod installed and you flash a rom or an update and when done you find you have partial root or no root at all.
Some apps that have previously been granted superuser permission may load while others, including superuser, super su, busybox, Voodoo, CWM say you don't have root, you are missing the su binary file.
When you run Root Checker it might look something like this link.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Most likely the flashed ROM or update erased the \system\bin\su and system\xbin\su files and didn't replace them.
Since CWM requires the su binary file to get root access to restore from my nandroid I had to use fastboot to get into recovery.I went to my SDK drectory, sub directory platform-tools where fastboot resides..
If you do not have an SDK directory just download SDK installer from [url]http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html[/url] to C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
Once the SDK Manager comes up put a check in Tools (this will put a checkmark in the two daughter files) Remove any other checkmarks..Hit the Install Packages bar at the bottom.
This platform-tools folder has fastboot.exe command and is the folder you will work from. You can also copy all the files you want to push into this directory but for now we will concentrate on our issue..
Connect your device to your PC, then turn off your device and boot into fastboot mode on your device.
If you don't know how:
hold down volume down and power button until you see white text on the screen, let go both buttons, use the volume down button to switch the highlight to the USB icon (this is fastboot mode), now hit the volume up button twice.
On your PC open command prompt and navigate to the fastboot directory which is C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
Once you there type the following:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img (check the specific recovery.img file that you have. It could be recovery-jb.img or recovery.blob etc).
Once the process is done type the following:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
your device will reboot.and can now boot into recovery.
Turn your device off and re-boot into (clockworkmod) CWM recovery
(hold down volume down and power button until you see white text on the screen, let go both buttons, now hit the volume up button twice.)
You want to hit wipe cache partition. When done hit advanced then wipe dalvik cache then go back.
Now hit backup and restore. Once there hit advanced restore from internal sdcard (where you put your nandroid) Then highlight the most recent date
In Advanced Restore hilight Restore system
Once done you can exit out (go back) to reboot system now
Once device boot up find and open superuser app, then download "root checker" from the market and verify that you have root.
RECAP:
Connect device to PC and boot device into fastboot
On your PC open command prompt and cd to C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
type
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery-jb.img (.img file exactly as it is in platform-tools) hit enter
when process is done, at the prompt type
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot (your device will reboot).
Turn your device off and re-boot into CWM recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache
go to advanced restore and only Restore system
go back to reboot system now
Once device boot up open superuser app, then "root checker" and verify that you have root.
Enjoy

Change from Philz CWM to TWRP?

I flashed Philz recovery and I want to change back to TWRP 3.1, but Philz will only recognize zip files and not img files. How do I get a zip version of TWRP or how do I flash the img file? I also cannot get Philz to mount to my PC, and a lot of things are crashing on my current rom so I can't install any apps.

Download adb and fastboot. and also mfastboot, extract everything to single folder
download twrp .img from https://dl.twrp.me/falcon/ and copy .img to adb folder
On your device, go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings. Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging. From your computer, open a command prompt and type:
adb reboot bootloader
You should now be in fastboot mode.
Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
mfastboot flash recovery twrp.img (you may get partition mismatch error but neglect it and reboot to recovery)
and reboot to recovery thats all

Need help to root into moto g3

Hi Team,
I was able to unlock the bootloader on motg3 and do a twrp img. However when I ran the command
adb reboot recovery it doesn't boot into the recovery img and it just says no command on the phone screen. Please help.
Thanks,
Arun

'No Command' means you've still got the stock recovery. Flash TWRP again by:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
(Where twrp.img is the filename of the custom recovery).
Do *not* reboot the phone into system, instead scroll down to select 'recovery' and press power button to load TWRP.
TWRP should load now, swipe to confirm modification (important). Now go to reboot>recovery. Allow the phone to reboot back to TWRP. Now you can select reboot>system and TWRP shall stick permanently.
Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli

Volume buttons aren't working on the mobile. So I tried adb reboot recovery. But still it didn't boot into recovery. Here is what I had tried.
https://pasteboard.co/HhTTVr1n.png

TWRP will be overwritten by stock recovery if the system is booted up before booting TWRP once.
If the volume buttons are broken, then I'd suggest you first copy twrp.img into phone memory, boot the recovery by :
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Allow modifications, then go to Install>Select Image (img), browse twrp.img on phone>select 'recovery' and swipe to flash.
Now reboot>recovery and then reboot>system. Now it should stick.
I'd recommend being extra careful if your volume button, especially volume down button is broken. If you somehow end up with a non-booting phone, you'd have no way (that I know of) to get to the bootloader mode.
Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli

I tried fastboot boot recovery.img but it says waiting for device and nothing happens.
https://pasteboard.co/HhVmOD9.png

Make sure your phone is in the bootloader mode and is being recognized by the pc. Run:
Code:
fastboot devices
and make sure it returns with 1 entry of the device along with the text 'fastboot'. Then the command should work.

Make sure you have installed proper Motorola drivers & Fastboot on you're PC / laptop,
You can get those files from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750
After installing proper drivers goto this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/orig-development/twrp-twrp-moto-g-2015-t3170537 download & flash latest twrp by given instructions by OP..

I just checked the usb drivers page but there aren't any usb drivers for Linux.
https://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/solution/MS88481
I tried the command sudo fastboot boot recovery.img and it returned there is no such file or directory. Should recovery file be on phone or on the laptop. Also should all these commands be run from a specific folder either on phone or system?
[email protected] ~ $ sudo fastboot boot recovery.img
cannot load 'recovery.img': No such file or directory

Yes, the terminal should be open to the directory containing the recovery.img file. For simplicity, place twrp into your home folder. The default location for most terminals is home, so no worries about directory now.
Just to be sure, type in :
Code:
ls
(LS lowercase)
Your file should be in the list. You are ready to flash now.
Try the fastboot boot command again.
As you're using GNU/Linux (guessed it early from your screenshots), drivers should not be a problem, at least for this device; unless you are running a minimal or highly customised distro like Gentoo or Arch.
Note: And yes, you'll need another copy of TWRP inside phone storage to actually flash into the device, the PC one is just used to boot temporarily into TWRP.

To add more clarity. There are two files here:
1) recovery.img
2)twrp.img
I was able to get the twrp.img file but where do I get the recovery.img file?

Thanks for all the help. I'm now able to root into the device.

I apologize for confusing you. They are the one and same. Just rename the downloaded TWRP img file to twrp.img and copy it over to both home folder in pc and into phone.
Use fastboot boot command on pc to temporarily boot up twrp in phone, allow modifications by swiping, go to Install>Install Image (img) option on the bottom>select the twrp.img inside the phone and flash it to 'recovery' partition.
Now reboot>recovery. This time the twrp should be permanently flashed and working properly. You are done.
Edit: Didn't see your last post, glad that you worked it out

There can be only one either recovery.img file or twrp.img.....as you are trying to replace your stock recovery by TWRP... And you need .img file for this.... Just check the name there should be just one if you have TWRP.img then there is no need for recovery.img file

Hi All,
After I was able to flash twrp and root into the phone I switched off the phone and turned on after couple of days. But now the display isn't turning on. However adb is able to detect the device and also I was able to access the file system through usb. Could you please help me troubleshoot the display issue?

Try rebooting into the recovery mode by:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
And doing a Cache/ART cleanup.
If the phone boots up (it should vibrate) but the screen doesn't light up (not even a blank dark grey screen), then I'm afraid the display is at fault.

Custom ROM for Panasonic Tab 8

I want a custom rom and how to root guide for panasonic tab 8 hd. There's an option to unlock bootloader in system settings. So it's easy to unlock it. I think I need to have microG as I have to use Whatsapp for my classes. I can provide you with the details of the device if required.

1. Activate USB debugging
2. Backup all your data.
3. Pull your boot.img and Vemata and save them in your external sdcard.
4. Install Magisk 22.1apk
5. Open it from home page and install the app.
6 now touch Magisk and chose force encryption.and enter
7. In popup dialogue tick selctand patch file and enter
8. Now chose the boot.img file you saved in the external sd card. Now the magisk will process it put the file in your internal sdcard in the download section.
9. Now save the magisk processed boot.ing on your desktop or in any folder and remember the location. It is advisable rename that with 2or 3 letters and paste it in th9/e ADB folder where you have installed the Platform files.
10. Now you open platform folder and open cmd inside the Platform tool. In the ensuing cmd window check for
adb devices.
Your device I'd will come to the next line. Then type
adb reboot bootloader
Now check
fastboot devices
your phone I'd will pop up.
Unlock bootloader:
Type fastboot flashing unlock
then click volume up bottom over.
Not you come again till the step 10.
Rooting process:
Now type
fastboot flash boot " the magisk processed, boot.img which you have renamed.
Now the patched boot.img will relace stock boot.img
Again come back and type
fast boot "-- disable-verification flash vbmeta " put your vbmeta file that earlier you have saved in the Platform folder.
that is all it is rooted.
please note that before starting the root activities you have to unlock your boot loader.
On your own you are doing. I take no responsibility.
by this process only I have rooted the phone. And with WWR MTK Tool and SPFT I have managed to get the stock firmware files. With native preloader. But flashing with this preloader needed patched boot.img file
