Has anyone had any issues using the new Revolution root method? I have installed the fast boot drivers and run the revolution program and it ends up saying cant find root....what am I missing?
Got it figured out....thanks though.....
Did you have to downgrade?

Yes had to downgrade.

I had the same problem. Can you get it to root without downgrading and how?

Has anyone found a way to root a thunderbolt with version 1.70.605.0?
I believe the manual method still works on that. Haven't seen anything different.
Yes it does. I waited on it hen rooted.

I'm in the middle of rooting mine after just now taking the OTA. If the downgrade flash takes, I'm all good.
*EDIT* Downgrade took, next is copying the eng bootloader
works like a charm
Lol what's the manual method? I'm new to all this stuff.

Without the unlocked bootloader all you get it temp root. So, unless you want to do an ADB temp root on your device while running pre-release firmware, you're kinda outta luck on that front. Do you have an issue with unlocking the bootloader we should be aware of?
Hello all, I just rooted my ota 2.3 EVO using the new revolutionary. I got root, awesome. Did a back up and them tried installing a new Rom. I tried the synergy rc1 and rc2 and after booting either one I get constant Android force closes. Any ideas or maybe the best roms?
I did a search first and found nothing so any help gets a big thank you.

Also, should I stay with 2.3 or use the ruu thing and go back to 2.2?
And yes, I am a root noob

Did you install an recovery menu? Isnt your evo running revoked root?
I rooted for first time yesterday using the new revolutionary s-off. During root I was prompted to install clock something and did so. I also made a backup that I have used successfully after the failed Rom. I assume I have recover because I can access it from the bootloader

No offense, but you haven't looked hard at all. Everything you need to know is stickied at the top of the Q&A thread. There's also a link the my sig.
OK well let me ask this then. . . What is the best way for me to do it. Is there any "oneclick"methods that would be really good for me to use?

The only method I'd ever recommend that is like a one click method is the Revolution method, but the drawback to that is undoing the S-Off is harder than the old jcase method. I can't recommend any "one click" based of the jcase method because there's too many floating around out there and unless you know the exploits being used, they're unreliable. The Revolution method is the current preferred method, and can be undone. It's preferred because it wipes not data and all you need to do after using it is to flash SuperUser and a recovery of your choice. I believe those can be found in the wiki unrEVOked maintains, as well as other places.
With the revolution method is it easy to boot in recovery and flash different roms or do you have to go through the whole rooting method everything? Thanks for your help by the way.

It's just as easy as anything else once you have clockworkmod flashed. Replacing the ROM doesn't remove S-Off or erase your recovery. I also like to point out that Revolution doesn't really root a device, it merely turns S-off so that you can root and flash a custom recovery. But once S-Off is done, the rest is as easy as flashing a couple files. Once you're to that point, you can wipe and flash ROMs all day. If you need some help or a walk through on some of this, PM me.
Just rooted my Thunderbolt after the Gingerbread update using Revolution method. Happy to say I am rooted with S-off. Have the latest recovery downloaded with my current Rom backed up. Next move is to download a custom Rom. I waited for this update for what reason I don't know to root my Thunderbolt.
What Rom to choose? There are so many. This is the fun part.

hey guys im no noob but im coming from a droid 3 and getting a tbolt in a week or 2 and i cant find any guide on how to root if i use the official htc unlock. is there a way to root after that or do i have to use revolutionary method.
Revolutionary is best, takes 5 minutes

ok thanks for the help. Will use revolutionary when i get it in a week or 2.
would definitely stick with revolutionary if you need any help just let us know
Downgrading and using Revolutionary seems to be the word of mouth on this phone. Not really a problem except for wanting to back up app data first. I read about something called TacoRoot? Allowing temp–root so Titanium Backup can run before downgrading. Anything on this? Or a similar method of being able to root without downgrading (safely) or gaining temp–root?

Hey all. Finally decided to root my one. Does it make sense to wait for it's kitkat ota update and then root ? Would this change any of the steps in the root process?

You should wait, if you root you can download a Rom that is 4.4.2. But things like WiFi calling doesn't work.
Go ahead and root. After a official 4.4.2 is released someone will put out a custom ROM that will already have root as well so why wait

I just s-offed using firewater now, as it's possible the exploit could be patched in the next update...

Yes s-off that might be patched until a new exploit like gustav said and also imo a custom recovery to have some fun and trying out a few custom roms while you wait for an update just remember to use the update you need a locked bootloader and IIRC you need a stock recovery both not hard to get (someone plz correct me if im wrong about recovery)
Thanks guys I rooted but have been having trouble getting some tethering apps to work I think my kernel is write protected? Can anyone recommend a rom that has cool customization stuff and is also good with tethering?

Edit - I flashed insertcoin and the tethering works great.
