Has anyone and i mean anyone found out a way to root the damn thunderbolt yet? I need some major help with this issue and it would be much and i mean much appreciated. I have spent many hours trying to get this phone rooted and nothing seems to work i have prob tried everybody rooting method out there. Im actually doing this for one of my family members and it really sucks to be him because he bought the phone first thing to be done was the root and i cant find a way to do it so if anybody has found a way PLZZ help. Phone is on 2.11.605.5 I dont know if u have to downgrade or what has to done.
Have you tried the revolutionary method? If you are in fact still at 605.5 it will work.
A quick Google search will turn that up for you.

Hello, I'm new to the forum also the world of rooting. I have a ZTE Groove x501_USA_Cricket (Model) That I can't for the life of me find any information on rooting or doing anything on it. So I reached out here, and hopefully to get some help and possibly a guide to do so. Since I'm very new to rooting and don't want to mess up my phone. Advice, and such is really helpful. Hope to hear from some of you pretty soon. Thank you!
Bump.

I just recently went through the MANY problems that came along with rooting this phone. I was able to successfully root it using the giantpoon method. Just 2 files and the pooter does the work. PM me for the links.
As far as I can tell, there isn't a custom recovery or ROM for it, but I was able to remove some bloatware and improve the overall battery life by altering some minor settings (using ROMToolbox). My issue is that the wifi stopped working and in an effort to undo any potential damage I had done, I tried restoring (NOOB!)... Needless to say; I now have an unrooted x501 with no working wifi. If I choose to get my service turned back on for it, I should be able to reroot (the ministro ii app requires some resource files), then it's just a matter of finding a good backup of the stock ROM so I can do a complete fix.
hey I'm sure it gets old us newbies asking what you seniors consider stupid questions, but I own the Galaxy Note i717 that was rooted but running stock rom and kernel, I just done the update to 4. 1. 2 and lost root and I live in a new town and state and do not have access to a computer at this time and ofcoarse the library will not let me download the software to be able to root and I have tried every one click method out there including poot debug apk files and still nothing. if anyone knows of any way of rooting without p.c that I could use please share. Or if someone knows if chainfire has a 1 click method to root my phone. I have checked all his post and have went over all the information on his work that I could find on the internet and here and have found nothing for my particular phone. So please don't tell me to read because I have done nothing but read for the last 4 days as I am retired. And I am now desperate thank you so much for your time in advance and any helpful answers that you could give I have been reading these forms for a very long time now and this is the first question I have asked , there is so much great advice from everyone on this site and again thanks so much in advance.

Your best bet is to borrow a friend or family member's PC and get it over with, it'll probably take you 2 minutes to root it.

Just recently they managed to get root to work on it for 4.4. While I have heard that someone managed to get a copy of the bootloader, I don't think anyone has developed an alternate that works. Mainly because the phone is so old and that dealing with the bootloader on this phone tends to be problematic. (Can you say "BRICK"). Enjoy root while you can and look for another model of phone that has lots of mods still working with it. I did....
