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?

so i just bought my thunderbolt yesterday and its brand new so its obviously never been rooted, is it possible to root now?
Yes. Verify what version youre running now that its "stock" and go from there.

Unrevoked and Alpharev just released an update to the revolutionary tool to work with the Thunderbolt. So It's super easy now. No downgrade or loss of data. Check the stickies on the dev section for the link. I think its http://revolutionary.io

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.

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?

I had the same problem. Can you get it to root without downgrading and how?
Please i cant get S-off I'm running the ics update and i need to root , I want to install deodexed please help
Until someone comes up with a unlock procedure for the new ICS bootloader you are Sol basically. Should have rooted first and not bother with the ota at all.
