Ok thanks, how do i update to android 2.2 after rooting?
Why bother with 2.2? There are other great rom's out there, Goto dev section and have a look.
If you really want to stay with android 2.2 you cannot go past blay0's froyo.
Oh btw follow the guides available on xda for flashing new rom's.

i would like 2.2 because your able to move apps to sd card, is that able on all custom rooms?
Forget apps2sd, that is the crappy meathod of making more space not every app can be moved either, best method is to partition your SD card to enclude an ext partition then use a2sd or dat2ext,
Blay0's froyo has native a2sd.
I really think you need to do some more reading in the forums. If your going to root your phone then you want to take advantage of the full benefits rooting has to offer otherwise just stick to the stock version of froyo...
Anyway just my opinion.

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.

Hi...
Is there a chance to downgrade an HTC Thunderbolt 4G from Gingerbread to Froyo? (2.11.605.9 to any 1.xx) withour ROOT?
Is there a chance t brick my Thunderbolt if I tried??
Thanks for any advice
No. To flash a rom you need s-off. To keep a froyo rom from updating you need a custom froyo rom with root.

Thanks a lot
So, If I have the 2.11.605.9 I can't return my Thunderbolt to any 1.xx?
Even if I go rooted?
Sure you can. Once rooted, flash the FroYo radios, then the FroYo ROM.

What can I do for make that downgrade!!?? Because the .9 can't be rooted as long as I now
Make sure the file is named correctly, and NOT in a folder on your sd card.
Also, make certain you have 40%+ of battery and that sd is FAT32 format.

I'm sorry if this question is noobish but I've installed the dumlock for the 1.5 hboot people (not sure if this has any relevance). I've been trying to install joelz cm9 but everyone I try to install it, it give me the status 1 error...tmp/sideload/(something else)...and I don't know how to fix it.
I can restore my miuiv4 backup and I can install other roms even other ics. I read formatting the sd should work but no one reported if our worked or not on the other forums.
Has anyone experienced this or know a solution

Bad download maybe?
I thought about the same thing. I downloaded it at least twice and moved it from a folder to the root of my sdcard.

i've had the same error and im using the twrp 2.0 recovery with a 3d that was rooted via the revolutionary method with eng hboot
When I get home I'm going to try to format the sd card and redownload the CM9 ROM even though I might just stay on miuiv4 since Chad has a kernel coming for it soon. I was trying to decide between the two.

Formatting my SD card did not work. But I read somewhere (and please forgive me for not having the link right now) that once you try it and it gives you the error just reboot into bootloader and then back into recovery and it should work. It worked for me, hopefully this'll help someone else.

Hi, I just got my legend and I want to root it and flash ics. I read some different guids and tried them all but every time I get stuck in one of the steps. The 2 things that I think that I've done right is installing the drivers and creating a goldcard. I'd like to get the easiest way to go on from here in order to root my legend and flash the ics.
Read this post for everything you need to know. Making a gold card and downgrading is the old way to do root and there's no need for it anymore.
