Shorts answer. Yes you can root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996616
But I would wait for some stable version of CM7 and any gingerbread roms because there are still a lot of bugs to be fixed still.

Thanks for the advice. After reading the board topics on those roms I was thinking the same thing. The only thing I look forward to with rooting is the custom kernels that would increase battery life. I think sense 2 is pretty satisfactory for now.

[Q] roooted, do i take update?

Hi, I'm rooted and I just got an alert to download an update! Is this normal?

Never take an ota when you are rooted, thats the rule of thumb. It won't hurt now because both versions of the hboot are unlockable using revolutionary, but i would suggest flashing a rom that's based off the ota.

Because your stock rooted. If you were running a custom rom you wouldnt, but on the stock system everything is the same except for root access and whatever you saw fit to change.
am I correct in assuming that there isn't any custom rom yet for the evo 3d yet. I'm on the temp perm root
There are already quite a few custom roms on the Dev page already, and it's still below 24 hours since unlock and root. Read the [ROM] posts and chose one to flash, after you Revolutionize.

Yes like he said this time is ok. We don't know if the bootloaders will change in the future though, so you can update to get back to the newest and start using custom roms from there.
Personally if I can stay stock rooted and just keep using the HTC updates I would.

sweet, thanks! are you planning on staying stock?

[Q] Root now or wait for HTC?

It will be a while before the custom roms are 100% stable so is there any advantage to the current root method or is it better to wait for the HTC to release their updates to the 3D?
double post, please delete
They are stable now. What we are waiting on is asop and deep themes. Do it now and you will not be disappointed

All the roms I've flashed so far are just as stable as stock. I would go ahead and root up right now. It's the cool thing to do

Current Tbolt users current Rom questions

Is anyone running the stock ota rooted? Or is everyone running the new ics roms? My charger port isn't working anymore and I'm looking to get a replacement Tbolt :/ I'm not looking forward to it at all. Is there a universal way to root the Tbolt still? Since there are different
"Versions" of the Tbolt and each require a way to root it, right? Or am I incorrect?

I'm running Infected Eternity, which is sense 3.5 gingerbread. I love the new ICS ROMs and the whole idea of having ICS on the Thunderbolt but right now, I need something more stable and with a working camcorder since I use my phone a lot to record my one year old.
To root your new Thunderbolt, use the program in the link below.
Before you root, just make sure your new Thunderbolt is updated to software version 2.605.19... which it should be.
Don't forget to thank trter10 for his program.

Have you tried NuSense or Unsense? Both are ics and the camcorder works fine with them.

Are there any current ics roms that are stable without any major issues? I've been reading through various pages and forums and it seems as if I need to have a great knowledge base in order to even flash one. Lots of technical grammar and procedures. I'm pretty much rooting my phone for the wifi tethering, debloating of Verizon junk, with a little bit of customization.

New To Thunderbolt! Suggest Best Way To Root? 1 Click?

Hey Guys!
I am new to the Thunderbolt and I was just wondering if there was a really nice and easy way to root the Thunderbolt like the Galaxy Nexus 1-Click [GNEX TOOLKIT V11.1.0]?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

This is currently the only working method to unlock, root and s off a thunderbolt that is running stock ics.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Thanks I'll give it a shot ya it seems other roms are creating BSOD on windows so hopefully this one works!
Man! Was the Thunderbolt not that popular? I thought it was... There is like 50 steps in that rooting process.
Why has not somebody developed a 1 click or simplified rooting program for the Thunderbolt? Just curious.
Do you know of any other way to root it without it taking forever or having extensive knowledge about rooting?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A new hboot came with our ics update which added about 20+ steps. It also made the old method from the allinone tool obsolete.

If you can find the Thunderbolt which had stock GB you can downgrade to the ENG HBOOT. It will never update if you run full stock. (plus there are several other different things you can do with it)

Is this still correct, or can we now use the 1.1 beta Thunderbolt Tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41384498&postcount=519 ?

As far as I know it didn't work correctly. You can try it you want though. Remember that's a beta though.

I came from an Incredible 2. Broke the screen on that, but a friend was upgrading, so I grabbed his old Thunderbolt for a few beers. Surprised that this phone is tougher to root and there are less ROM options, but it's a solid phone and now I'm using Santod's Jelato ICS De-Sensed.
I used the thunderbolt tool to get root and s-off about a month ago, and it did work. I remember I did have to switch from my desktop to a laptop because of BSOD issues described in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703455&page=54 TBTool thread. I linked to the page where they discuss the BSOD and the need for ICS radios when flashing ICS ROM.
Good luck. I does work.
The thunderbolt tool will work if you're on the old hboot and or GB. It will not work for you if youre on the ICS hboot.

As far as ROMs go it depends on which os version you are talking about. GB there was many different roms to choose from. Only reason there are so few ICS ROMs is by the time ICS was released almost call the devs had moved on to the gnex,n4,s3,DNA, so on and so forth. If HTC would have gave the bolt ICS when ICS came out the phone would have had many ICS ROMs..
Rooting if rooting a GB bolt was easier than rooting a rezound. Granted they made it harder with ICS but that's with all phones with updated bootloaders.

downgrade from ICS/root/S-0ff with 1.1Beta TOOL
I can confirm that today I used Santod040's amazing ThunderBolt-Tool 1.1 Beta on a sweet used TBolt
that had taken the latest OTA. It did the job! Now I'm S-0ff and running a custom rom that does WiFi Tether good.
Thanks for great effort, Santod040......
What made you ask that in this forum lol? It would appear though that most of the newer devices aren't that easy to root just yet. The HTC one for Verizon currently is still locked out.
