I am trying to root an HTC Thunderbolt with Hboot 1.04.0000. I tried using Revolutionary to gain S-Off and it has not been working. It recognizes the device, allows me to enter my beta key but it always says it's an invalid key and aborts, then closes. Why is this and is there anything I can do to fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated. I have attached a screenshot of the process when it is "completed."
Edit: I got it to work finally. It was my work PC's proxy config that disabled Revolutionary from downloading recovery. All is well now. Thanks for your responses though.
Got me, but neither of the sites for AlphaRevX or revolution are working so far as I can tell. From what I'm reading I don't think you can't obtain a correct key unless the site is up and providing them. That might be part of the problem.
I think that was the issue. I tried it later and it worked seamlessly. However it did not install clockwork mod so I am now facing that issue...

That's easy to fix. Download ROM Manager and install it through that.
That's the issue. It says something about the service not being good enough. I cannot remember the exact error message; it's my friend's phone. Anyway it has either full 3G or WiFi depending upon whether I turn on WiFi or not so there cannot possibly be an issue with the service. I won't have the phone in-hand again until tomorrow, but I can give instructions to my friend as to what to do.
Edit: He got root checker and it said that something was not configured properly. Could running Revolutionary again fix this or would it not do anything?
Revolutionary gives you S-OFF but DOES NOT give you root
You need to install this, straight from their FAQ
http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
You need to install superuser to get gain root.
as for the beta key invalid it's because you Need to COPY and PASTE it
You do so by clicking the title bar, edit, paste then it will work

In order to flash that you will need Clockworkmod Recovery installed. Use the directions in the thread I linked to install Clockworkmod recovery from bootloader. ~~> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179386
Also download the Su-2.3.6.3 zip from ScoobarSTI's post and put it on your sdcard. Once you flash clockwork recovery in the bootloader via the thread I linked reboot into recovery and flash the Su-2.3.6.3 zip. Once you do that you will be rooted.

I had a similar problem, mine ended up being my inability to figure out the case of a "C", worked perfectly after that.
Thanks to all that replied. For some reason, revolutionary did not install clockwork Mod after it got s-off. I ran it again and it ended up doing it fine. Now the Thunderbolt is rooted and ready for a custom ROM. Any suggestions on which ROM to go with? I need a stable one with sense 3.0 that is decent on speed and battery.

you probably have htc sync installed... if you do, you will need to uninstall it before you can run the revolutionary application.
Copy the beta key and then paste it.
This will work fine. I did the same thing typing over and over. I about gave up.
Good luck

NO IT DOESN'T. As great as the video is, it does not address the Beta key not working.
My beta key isn't working. I have tried the pasting using the title bar and doing edit paste and it does paste the key just fine, but it keeps telling me it is invalid. I uninstalled HTC Sync like one person said and still doesn't.
Any help?
Sorry, but none of us can help you with your key issue. That's something only they can help with. I got s-off last night with this method with no problems.

Ok so let me explain further what I have done as I believe I may have seriously botched this process at some point...
Step 1- I followed MobileTech Videos instructions on how to apply Adeo v0.1 . I downloaded all the drivers from their website. This worked flawless and I quickly rebooted and checked and had the Reboot option after pressing the power button so I continued on.
Step 2 - I downloaded Super One click ran the ROOT option and everything worked flawlessly once again.
Step 3 - Downloaded Boxy and after a reboot it worked and installed perfectly. After checking in Titanium backup I realized I had root.
Step 4 I downloaded the Theme pack from mobiletech and followed their video instructions.. I get stuck each time right before the boxy process..
Now when running Super one click and click ROOT or SHELL ROOT the application freezes (not responding from windows) and I get no where.
At the time my phone works perfectly but I am very curious what is going on.. Any advice for someone new to Android will help ease my nerves. Thanks!

Have you tried Designgears aroot? Superineclick installs busybox twice due to busybix already installed by moto by default. If you run aroot it'll clear up that mess.

Thank you so much for your reply... I downloaded A ROOT and ran it but it only took maybe .5 seconds to run completely and my phone never re-booted.. I re-booted manually.. Is this normal?
Sadly this did not fix the issues I am dealing with.. When trying to install the Adeo rom over top of itself I get an error saying "device not found" as well as having the installer of the gingerbread theme getting stuck. At this point, although my post has not been up long, I would be willing to PayPal someone for any additional help in fixing my issue.

Very good call and thanks again for the suggestions.. I am missing my ADBD file and have read the thread but am curious how to transfer this file to root explorer? I downloaded the app but can't for the life of me figure out how to transfer the file.
I was able to get the ADBD file to download and once unzipping the file and adding it to the correct location with the right permissions I am still getting the device offline error.. I truly am stuck at this point.. Anyone have any thoughts?

so then if it is just disabled it still must have some processes running that is interfering with revolution. Fully exiting must close everything then. As long as it works.
Just so everyone knows when my wouldnt work it was sitting at
acquiring root (method 3)...
so if that is happening to anyone make sure htc sync is fully exited or uninstalled! I never used htc sync i had just installed it for drivers so it was no big deal to me to uninstall!!
I have uninstalled HTC sync and am still stuck at acquiring root (method 3)

Icant get the recovery image downloaded... at that point, the program dies...? "Stopped working"...?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1884#tutorial
I first started out with Samsung Galaxy Note II Kit. But, the update said I needed to do something about unlocking my boot loader, so I went to the Adam Outtler page. But, he says in the first post that this won't work If you do it with an OTA update after January 18, 2012. Well, I didn't notice that first anyways and tried Odin, and all it would do mainly was fail, or setup connection would take forever, and even Casual says:
/system/bin/sh: su: not found
noroot
DEVICE IS NOT ROOTED! ROOT YOUR DEVICE! Install any VRALJB ROM --Adam Outler
What I think I need to do is uninstall the OTA update, but most people I have seen do it through a rooted phone, but I don't have one yet. I have no idea what to do, and I am really confused and don't want to hard brick or screw up my phone. Could anyone help me with this? I am sorry if I am being stupid about this, but the only thing I ever rooted was a NOOK tablet which was simple.
P.S. I am sorry but if anyone respond between the times of 10am-12pm today, and 4pm-12am today, I will not be able to respond due to work arrangements I have for today.
First confirm the baseband: System Settings > About Phone > Baseband. If it shows VRALL4, you have the update and need to use the updated root and unlock method here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118348
Just go slowly and follow the directions (measure twice and cut once), its pretty easy. Good luck.
start at section 1 of my guide...then if youwant to unlock follow adams thread. make sure to use his latest "jailbreak" method(the one linked in my guide).
If you on the latest software from Verizon, just use Adams guide. That's all I did. Need any help let me know!
Or just follow this dude here.

the last thing i would recomend is using anything other than adams or my thread. also the op may just want root, which he can simply place root66 in odin and be done. the latest software adds no benifit other than if you like to internet bench race.

Hi there. First thing is making sure you have all the proper drivers installed and HTC Sync uninstalled.
I then installed the app to temp root and ran Firewater. The terminal commands are on the firewater site....if you need more detail or even a step by step, I'm happy to help and write something up. I just can't tonight as I have an obligation to attend to.
Let me know how you make out and if you need additional assistance I'll write something up tomorrow around this time.

Haven't forgotten ya...I'm just getting home. Have a few things to attend to.
You can get the HTC drivers from this post right here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000896
Ok, download the SDK from here : http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=sk
Make sure USB debugging is turned on. Install the attached weaksauce apk for temp root. You can verify you're rooted by downloading superSU and root checker from the play store.
Unpack the SDK and you'll want to put the firewater file in the folder titled : adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321
Open a terminal from this folder by holding down shift and right clicking the folder, "open command window here"
Follow the commands given on the firewater site.
Profit.
Once S-off and unlocked go to the TWRP thread in original development and download a recovery. Flash that via fastboot.
Then flash super user zip for root...again, search that out. I'm running out of time so I can't right now...lol
This is all I did. Collect all your files first. Make sure your drivers are good to go before starting. Install the drivers, reboot the pc and plug the phone into the usb. Likely a driver install thingy will pop up with like 5 little circles...let it finish before you begin.
Good luck bro...I'll check in tomorrow or later tonight to see how you made out.

This is all I did. Collect all your files first. Make sure your drivers are good to go before starting. Install the drivers, reboot the pc and plug the phone into the usb. Likely a driver install thingy will pop up with like 5 little circles...let it finish before you begin.
Good luck bro...I'll check in tomorrow or later tonight to see how you made out.

Well, didn't work for me. I am guessing I might have tried to root months ago. I drank a lot back then. When I ran WeakSauce, it said I was already rooted and did nothing. Then I ran Root Check, and it said I wasn't rooted. But I moved on through the steps. But when I got to the last step in FireWater, it said I need to run as root.
I noticed I had SuperSU app installed. So I uninstalled that, uninstalled WeakSauce, re-installed both and started over, but got the same results.
Not sure where to go from here. I almost feel like I should just do a Factory Reset and start over, but that could really screw things up too.
Man, sure am sorry to hear that..maybe a full RUU would fix you up. Then start over...I'm not sure. Maybe someone with more in depth knowledge needs to chime in here..
bummer.....

You know, now that I think about it, I did have full root before, but I wasn't thinking one night and got an OTA update that made me loose root. Maybe that is why I can't use weaksauce. I decided to start in my bootloader. Attached is a screen shot. Tried to go into recovery, but that failed. Just came up with a picture of a battery or something. Had to hold the power button down for 10 seconds just to boot normally.
Does the screen shot tell you anything? It tells me, I think, that the phone is S-off'ed and unlocked. but firewater complained about not being rooted. I am confused.

Hey, your phone is already unlocked! So just flash supersu thorough Fastboot to get root.

As said right above me....you're all set to go. Use fast boot to push a recovery and then flash super su zip. If you need the zip I can attach it later.

Funny. There have been other threads where people are asking how to root DNA 4.4.2. They have been referring them to this thread So I guess I am not SO dumb.
Anyhow, as I remember, there are a couple of ways to flash. 1) from the PC using ADB and from the phone using an IMG file right? What is the easiest way to flash the Recover file? Which version of ClockWorkMod is going to be compatible with 4.4.2 and where would I find the download? Also, one last question, which SuperSU version is going to be compatible and where is the best download?
