For those of you that have endured the frustration of updating to the latest software version (2.11.605.9) There is hope! Apparently with this software version, the bootloader is locked. And for some reason this version would not allow the "Revolutionary" rooting method to work. (I would imagine everyone with this problem had issues with not being able to get past Zerg Root. At least that was the problem I had)
Anyways, I got my phone rooted....heres how.
Per the instructions for using Revolutionary, install the driver as stated on their website. (Make sure HTC Sync is not installed on your computer)
Download Mecha_2.11.605.3.zip (I'm a newbie here so I cant post links, but I found it through Android Police but if u google it its easy to find, its hosted on multi upload) rename the zip file as PG05IMG and put on the root of your SD card (as you would in other rooting methods) and run the bootloader.
Once its booted and all that fun waiting is over and your TB powers back up, make sure to turn off all wireless connections to make sure OTA doesnt try to upgrade you. (I turned on airplane mode as soon as I could)
From there run Revolutionary as instructed from their website. Worked like a charm for me, and hope it does for all of you with this same problem.
I TAKE ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIT FOR THIS SOLUTION. Thank you for all you developers out there that make our phones able to be so much cooler and more enjoyable. I'm just glad I could help in this marginal way, and hope that someone will find it usefull. SPREAD THE WORD IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE HAVING
So are you back at 2.11.05.9 & rooted after this? or are you stick at 2.11.605.3 (since that is the RUU zip you installed)?
Just run a custom ROM and you do not have to worry about QTA uodates. They are mainly to take the root away anyways.
I'm at .3 still. Older root is better than no root, so I'm not complaining. I'm sure someone will be able to unlock 2.11.605.9 for use with Revolutionary. These devs out there are crazy smart.
I tried this steps i got s-off but when I boot my phone is see that superuser app is not here and cannot install recovery any ideas
same problem
the night after my phone updated to 2.11.605.9 I decided to root. Tried revolution, but had the same problem op described. Attempting the same solution, but using Mecha_2.11.605.5.
Hope it works.
worked!
Finally got it to work!
Downgraded to Mecha_2.11.605.5.
Used revolution to get s-off and apply cwm
Used file on revolution manual to get root..
now to select an appropriate rom...
Does this method, downgrading using the zip file you mentioned, still proceed to root WITHOUT wiping the phone apps, settings, data, etc?
I really want to root without getting rid of all that... for now... so that I can then use Titanium Backup or similar app to do an image of my pre-custom ROM phone in case I want to revert back later.
will lose data

hey helikyler, downgrading will cause you to lose your settings and apps and what not. that is the drawback of this method. unfortunately you need root to be able to get a backup but you need to downgrade to be able to get root :-/
if its really that important to you to keep the data you may want to wait until revolutionary or another tool can obtain root on this release....
file found, thanks all
multiupload is down. you can find ruu files at bliynd [dot] com/ thunderbolt/ ruu/
There is Mecha_2.11.605.3.zip and Mecha_2.11.605.5.zip.
Thanks for all the help.
***LOCKED*** On Bootloader
Hello All,
First of all thanks for the awesome easy guide !!
This is the first time I am rooting my HTC Tbolt and have had an issue to start with.
Used the instructions in the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401959
After I download the 2.11.605.5 downgrade zip, I rename it, put in on the SD Card and go to HBOOT and it installs the downgrade just fine.
But at the end of this process, when I try to get the MR4 Radio onto the SD Card and install it, it simply does not happen. HBoot checks for the file, finds it, but nothing happens. I have renamed in properly and followed instructions to the dot.
I also noticed a ***LOCKED*** right on top of the screen and I think this could be an issue.
Can I go ahead and proceed with the Revolutionary Root Technique ? Would this be possible at this point ?
Is there anyway I can get Flash the MR4 Radio before I actually root ?
Also, would I be able to flash the MR4 Radio onto my device after Rooting ?
Any help is much appreciated !
Thanks in advance !
Cheers !

Hi, everyone who have been waiting for a way to downgrade their HBOOT so that they can get S-OFF, cause they upgraded to the Official RUU Rom... I think I found a solution for you!
Also give you permanent ClockWork Recovery!
I haven't test it on any other Slide, cause I have only one. So, sorry if it didn't work for you.
Here is what I did, in case you're wondering, I downloaded the Official RUU from HTC Support website, extracted the 'rom.zip' file from Windows Temp folder that it creates, replaced the newer 1.02 HBOOT with 0.52 HBOOT, that I got from 'ESPRIMG.zip' (the Stock rom).
And also replaced the recovery.img with ClockWork Recovery img file.
Then I just renamed the 'rom.zip' file to 'ESPRIMG.zip'
Put it in the root of my memory card, powered off, rebooted into BOOTLOADER, and it detected the file and asked me if I wanted to update, I chose YES, and it went on without a hitch. Next thing I knew, I had 0.52.0000 HBOOT, with permanent ClockWork Recovery(so I dont have to use 'update.zip' anymore), and also the Official Latest 2.15.531.3 unmodified rom, (I like stock Espresso, that's why I bought it ) but you will LOSE ROOT but SuperOneClick method works for me to gain root - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Method:
1. Download this 'ESPRIMG.zip' file - http://www.mediafire.com/file/cuemg74en7kk0a3/ESPRIMG.zip
2. copy/paste it to your memory card, in the root, not on any folder.
3. Make sure your card formatted to FAT32 file system, or it won't detect it.
4. Do a Nandroid BACKUP, if you can, cause I don't know if this will work for you. But it will wipe all your data and setting. SO BACKUP!
5. First you need to wipe data and factory setting, and wipe cache and wipe davlik cache (Otherwise it bootlooped for me). So boot into recovery first!
You can do that by going into BOOTLOADER first then selecting Recovery ( for that remove memory card from mobile or else it will start update) or if you have ROM Manager then you can use that to reboot into Recovery, any recovery will do stock or clockwork.
6. Ok, so after Wiping from recovery. PULL battery, then insert back the memory card with ESPRIMG.zip file on it. Reboot into BOOTLOADER, and apply the update.
It should do a reboot automatically to downgrade the HBOOT.
You will see the change if it worked. After applying the update, reboot phone normally.
And if all done correctly, you should have 0.52.0000 HBOOT, and also a permanent ClockWork Recovery. Now you can root by using SuperOneClick method. And also get S-OFF (I didn't need it, cause I have permanent S-OFF! , at least that's how I explain it)
Im guessing it worked for me because I have a factory unlocked S-OFF HBOOT from HTC. Because, to try this out first, I updated my phone via the OFFICIAL RUU from HTC Support Website and it showed S-OFF on my 1.02.0000 HBOOT.
Then I tried this method and it did downgrade my HBOOT and I still had S-OFF without doing the AlphaREV method.
So I guess I have a kind of permanent S-OFF??! :S :?
Hit thanks if it helped.
I am no developer but I am learning
Any feedback would be appreciated.
And yes, my major is CS and I LOVE IT!
Don't ban me please! Just helping the community! And this is kind of a rom
can anyone confirm this working?
EDIT: i got really curious and decided to try... its a no go, after loading zip it checks it but never gives the option to update. it was worth a try though...
Well I'm pretty sure since the phone already had the higher hboot with S-OFF, of course you can downgrade to an older one because there is no security to prevent it from happening, clearly.
But I did upgrade my phone from the RUU, wouldn't that have made my hboot S-ON?? But it didn't.
Also this is created from the latest Rom Update RUU from HTC, so there shouldn't be a problem with applying the update from hboot, and I think it shouldn't give tat error,that 'the version yiu are flashing is lower thsn the current', sonething along the lines of that.
But as you know I dont have anyother Slide available to me. So, it may be worth a try. Only you guys can tell.

But it should detect the ESPRIMG.zip, at least it should go on to verify the package and then promt for update. Was your memory card formatted to FAT32 and not just FAT??

yeah, it detected it but wouldnt get past the verification. and yes i formatted to fat32
Maybe you could get the hboot file from an old rom and switch it with a recent rom and try that
Hi, sorry for bumping an older thread, but I was wondering if anyone has the file from the media fire link?
I would like to downgrade from hboot 1.02 but I don't know where else to go to get the files.
Been lurking for sometime learning things here and there, but now I've got an issue of my own I been pulling hair out over for the last 6 hrs.
I Upgraded to 2.11.605.9 Verizon OTA release today... attempted to use the revolutionary tool to re-root after the upgrade. Well that didn't work. I just get the message "Zerging Root... this might take a minute or so.. Failed to get Root! "
I have tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009423 the non root users section. With no luck.
Pretty new at this stuff, so if someone can let me if its possible to get s-off, i'd just like to downgrade to an earlier pg05img and NOT get the latest update So i can use revolutionary root.
Thanks in advance.
Nick

This thread sounds like the same problem as what you are having. Read what the last two commenters did to correct the problem they are having.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308324
Also, the thread you originally posted is for returning back to stock, which is not the case. You want to refer to this thread at Thunderbolt Forums in order to acquire root...
http://www.thunderboltforums.com/fo...ry-5-minutes-less-root-without-data-loss.html
Confirm that you are following each and every step. In addition, make sure you are using the USB ports on the back of your PC opposed to the ones in the front. Good luck!

I've rooted multiple times using the method above, but since the update, I can't get past the Zerging Root step, even following the posts from the first link you sent
Flashed the Pg image using .androidpolice.com/2011/10/24/exclusive-gingerbread-build-2-11-605-5-for-the-htc-thunderbolt-fixes-several-issues-from-the-previous-leak/[/url] and it works, I was able to re-root using the rev.
Capt....
I am having the same problem as him. After I got this warranty replacement yesterday, no matter what I tried, I can't get past "zerging root". Cannot gain root access. I see you said to flash that image, but how do you do that if you cannot get s-off. I have also rooted thunderbolt several times using the "one click method" (which is also not working for this new 2.11. 605.9 build) and revolutionary. Any suggestions or instructions?
You dont need S-off to load that image... Simply download the file and rename it pg05img.zip and put it on the root of your SD card. Reboot the phone and hold down the vol down + power button to access the bootloader, push the volume button and it will search the sd card for the pg05img.zip file and load it. Just keep in mind it will reload it to factory settings, so back anything up that you have. It takes about 15 mins, but it does work. Once you have that image loaded from the link above you can use the revolutionary root. Let me know if you need help.

So if I unroot and my phone takes the latest 2.11.605..9 update, all I have to do is flash the 2.11.605.5 RUU, put phone into airplane mode as soon as it boots, then I can root again?
I am not sure if I missed something but I followed those steps. When I went into boot, it said my version is "older- failed" and won't revert to the .5
I am miserable here with stock. I want to be rooted again.
Any thing else I can do?
Not sure why it wouldn't let you revert to an earlier RUU. Have you tried other earlier versions other than .5? The RUU I used was 2.11.605.3. Try that one. What version bootloader do you have? Also is there Pink letter at the top that says LOCKED?
I have not tried an earlier version... Yet. Will try and will update you. But the bootloader says "***locked***" s-on on the main screen. So I am not sure any older one will work. I read other people were able to accept a downgrade so I am hopeful.
Bootloader 1.5 and yes... It is ***locked*** sigh...
Try loading the 2.11.605.3 If it works just make sure you disable wireless connections when it boots, so OTA doesn't push the upgrade
Even if the OTA comes up before you disable any wireless connection it will download the OTA but then ask if you want to accept or defer. Just hit defer and proceed with the Revolutionary method to root and gain s-off.
*Note: when you hit defer on the OTA, it asks you for a date to remind you, I just set the date to 12/29/2099. If anyone is still using this phone on that date, please tell them not to accept the OTA
Ok guys hold on now, this is kind of misleaing... so did the OP have s-off for the downgrade ? Revolutionary has a password protected HBOOT that was designed to maintain s-off during an OTA or upgrade RUU, hence the reason a downgrade would be possible... Is the OP able to confirm they had S-OFF during the upgrade or S-ON. If i upgrade to 2.11.605.9 on a stock phone S-ON, am i going to be able to downgrade with ease ? I would say no.. not without tricking the bootloader into thinking its an older version which is what the commands are for:
adb push misc.img /data/local/
adb shell dd if=/data/local/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
However you can't do this without a temporary root shell.
on build 2.11.605.9 there is no exploit for temporary root shell currently..
Please clarify.. ?

No matter how far out you pick, the limit is 5 days. Picking anything longer, the phone will tell you that.
Like I was saying before the OTA came out, this OTA patches zergRush.
Bootloader has always been locked, this is not new.
I have a few vulns found, and erishasnobattery and I have a couple working exploits done.
However I am on vacation and wont be home until late tonight, once I am we will get something packaged and released for root.
Until then (this isn't the one we are going to release)
Awesome, i just bought my wife a t-bolt Friday and it did an OTA (that i just assumed was the same old gingerbread update that my buddy got but apparently it wasn't because i could not root. Thanks jcase for working on this for us.
I was able to get root with 2.11.605.9
I was already on 2.11.605.5 with root and S-OFF (revolutionary). Perhaps you can try one of the earlier releases such as MR2? This is what you do to get root with 2.11.605.9 if you can get your phone back to 2.11.605.5 or older:
1. Reinstall 2.11.605.5 stock (no root). I got the file from Android Police. I had to rename the file as PG05IMG.zip and run it from the bootloader.
2. Obtain S-OFF with Revolutionary after 2.11.605.5 has installed. Do not install clockworkmod or super user yet.
3. Allow the 2.11.605.9 OTA to be installed. Let the phone do it's thing, the update took my phone awhile.
4. Install Clockwork Recovery (again rename it as PG05IMG.zip and run it from the bootloader)
5. Boot into bootloader again and select Recovery. Install superuser.
6. Reboot and enjoy.
PS. I stumbled upon this on another thread here.
So I'm on a new phone that just did the .9 update about 10 minutes ago and then I find this thread after failing to root. So I'm s on stock everything. I can't revert can I? I'm screwed. I hate stock phones. Adds everywhere. No tether boring no options. I want my skyraider back.
I have a Thunderbolt that I keep downgrading so I can root it but those dam automatic updates are unstoppable and I want to know if I root it while on .5 will they keep updating or will the new root/rom stop it once and for all. Cause i heard if it updates while rooted phone gets messed up. If your rooted you would know thanks for reading!
you can root the .5 then flash the new .9 rooted rom and it will stop the update notices plus most roms block the update from happening anyway

Would greatly appreciate if you or some else could post simple directions so I don't mess it up. I already no how to downgrade to .5 and I'm getting the idea that your saying use revolutionary to root then flash a rom. If that's the case then let me know and recommend a rom that everything functions normally on and I will be one happy android
1. Downgrade to .5
2. Run revolutionary to gain s-off
3. Boot into recovery and flash superuser.zip from revolutionary website to gain root.
4. Flash a custom Rom or stock rooted .9
And always check the md5 checksum of the files you download before flashing to verify the integrity of the file.

Go ahead and finish the root/recovery/superuser process. Take the .5 and radio images off your SD card for the time being.
You don't have to flash the radios yet, if at all, honestly - depends on what ROMs you wish to run - if they require radio(s) different than what you have, flash them then.
Obtain root and back it all up first, then next steps.

alright guys so my only rooting/rom changing/whatever experience comes from the Droid 1, which was an extreme breeze to install and get root access easily, well overall super easy to install all you needed well now I'm having trouble with the rezound as it's a little more complicated (for me) anyways here's what I need help with
I unlocked my bootloader following the super noob guide, In the super noob guide the directions say to install the ICS leak 3.11 and then install the All in one HTC rezound tool thing I did all of that and Managed to unlock my bootloader and I am not 100% sure if I instaled the custom recovery but It seems like I did, If AmonRa is the ICSandwichy looking bootloader with the blue letters, IF it is then I did install it then here comes what I need help with, I cant seem to get anything out of clicking the perm root on the extras I am running the program on administrator and also tried it without running in administrator, I tried and tried but I can't seem to get root (checked with app root access and odesn't give me it) I even tried installing it through the options of the clockworkmod thing/Adamnro by clicking on the install su & superuser? option it says it installs it but once I'm checking it doesn't work
I have however not installed any kernels nor roms im still running on the ICS leak from when I unlocked the bootloader, Help me great XDA community
any help will be appreciated
EDIT: I forgot I also run it in debug mode and when I try to get perm root I do it when the phone is on
The easiest way to install super user is through amon ra recovery,I believe it's under advanced or devoloper options.or just flash a rooted custom rom I suggest picking one that includes the boot image that gets flashed in bootloader. The newer roms are mostly set up for s-off only and don't include an easily flashable boot image.

I had to flash these 2 files in recovery to get root working. You might need to install busy box once booted up but not 100% sure if that was needed.
I could not get root working by using the option in Amon or the tool. Flashing these 2 files was the only way I was able to get root. I was on 3.14 leak though but should be the same for 3.11
If you are still having trouble and you have a windows based system, t wouldn't hurt to give my toolkit a try. It doesnt have the super fancy GUI but it is very functionable. I designed it to help myself when i was a super noob. It goes through the whole process step by step and explains in the simplest terms possible how you should do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571746
just a tip, make sure you have all of the htc drivers when you are doing this and then once you have finished the step telling you to install the recovery, go back into the bootloader by either doing it manually or using my program once your phone is on. (util, then roboot into bootloader) Once you are in the bootloader, see if you can get into the recovery section. If you got in successfully then you should be in a differnet menu, from there go to the development section of amon ra and then select root. Hopwfully you get success but if you did not do the following.
Go to the mounts section of amon ra and then mount the phones usb storage. It should still be plugged in so the device should show up on your computer. Go and download the latest superuser from here:
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
place it in the root of the device storage thats on your computer (the root is the main directory or folder)
then unmount the storage from your phone and go to the flashing section on Amon Ra. From there select the superuser zip folder from the sd card. Flash it and if it still gives you an error i would check your steps or request more help because i cant help you beyond this point.
I hope this walkthrough has helped and good luck on obtaining root. With root you arent limited to anything. If you are feeling good after you get root i would suggest trying to get s-off. To get s-off you have to do hardware tricks not just software tricks, but s-off is much harder and more dangerous. Have fun with your new and hopefully rooted device!
wow after having this post up for a matter of seconds i have a thanks, glad i helped!
thank you very much this worked magically
thank you for your great reply but I tried the above method and it worked beautifully I still checked out and downloaded your tool it is very nice good job on it dude and I got S -off already as well wire trick was tricky as I was trying to use a copper wire and it was workin then I got my old ipod charger cable and cuted it then got mad because I thought it wasn't going to work because they were like tiny wires tied toguether but who knew first try and it worked perfectly...
Ok, so I've been rooted but for he most part stock. The last OTA kept failing to download so I relocked my bootloader, used the ruu update tool from android police, accepted the update, but had the genius idea to run my nandroid restore after. Since then I have not been able to boot up and my efforts to fix the problem have only made it worse. I can no longer get into recovery and when I try it gives me a security warning. I am at a loss and miss my phone, forced to use Iphone 4 as back up and I refuse to learn how to use it. Please give ideas on how to fix in noob language as I am obviously not an expert.

I could use help trying to find the RUU I need, my search has been fruitless. What I have is a tool that updates my RUU for me and it only works when my phone successfully boots. I tried using it from the bootloader menu and that gave me a security warning.
