What happen to those guys? They saved my life about a year ago. They have to have something up there sleeve for this one. It only took me a few minutes to get fully rooted and have clockwork mod recovery. Good things come to those who wait? I'm tired of waiting. So what do I do? Keep waiting until one of you genius devs to figure it out.

JFYI this is the dev section, this post belongs in QA or General. Keep in mind for the future because people will give you hell about it.
Why would you create a new thread in the DEVELOPMENT section? Mods please move to GENERAL or delete all together.
FYI OP: There are different sections for a reason.

I vote delete. The OP is clearly trolling.
any thread title with 5 question marks should be instantly deleted and op banned
OP obviously isn't in the loop.
AHHHH!!! Unrevoked? Really? You create a thread in the dev section to ask a question and if that wasn't bad enough you ask about Unrevoked! Get outta here with that sh*t...its gonna be a good long while before you get your phone rooted! lmao

For all we know they may be working on a root method but with the lack of success of Gingerbreak and other one-click root methods I would guess that they, like many others, are having a hard time finding a useable exploit...
We are certainly working on something and will post if and when it's ready.

Why can't you just respectfully answer the damn question and then proceed to having it transferred to the QA section.

Its more fun to pick on people, especially newcomers than to actually help them, or at least it seems that way.
Submitting items in appropriate sections are a damned good thing.....but do people actually give a ratsass about catching "hell" or a threat of getting "flamed" on a freakin' forum?!

Agreed, takes 10 posts to post in dev section. His 11th post is this crap!
I've been a member here for a long time, but do not speak much as most questions I would have about any of my devices have clearly been discussed.
I also understand where new members would not know much about whats going on at times, but its nothing more than a simple search. I (and all other members new/old) have to search like everyone else. Its really not hard.
Its also believed with the great devs that are doing what they can (and I THANK YOU for that) to get root available for our device. I'm SURE they will have something up (as in a new thread) that they have achieved what we have been waiting for. Its going to happen. Be appreciative that we even have devs that are making the time to find out all that they can. Without them, we'd be in a world of hurt.
Just my .18 cents.
You 'section police' people are fkn pathetic.
Seriously hate coming to this forum now.
"I also understand where new members would not know much about whats going on at times, but its nothing more than a simple search. I (and all other members new/old) have to search like everyone else. Its really not hard."
Of course. No one argues with that.
Its how they're told that.
Members with 5000 posts don't have liscence to be a**holes. They're no more 'valuable' than someone with 1 in terms of basic civility.
And after 1301 posts...this is your offering?! Lol?
I'll take his 11th!

Think of "development" like a business...professionalism is important in business, no? There is a job that is being done here.
If you are looking for the tavern take it to General, if you are looking for the visitors assistance center take it to Q&A. This is all spelled out in the rules. If you have no "developing" to contribute to the "development" please take it elsewhere.
Posting non-development related posts is like showing up drunk to work, and your post is like an even drunker guy proclaiming how BS the professionalism is at said business.
I'll shut up now, as this is unrelated to development.
As the title states. Can I root my phone going off of last night's update? If so, where should I look?
Thanks!
Check the Q/A thread at the top of this subforum. It should have info regarding Revolutionary that should work for you, I believe.
I will never understand why people wait on OTAs and THEN want to root. I can't think of a time when an OTA ever made it easier since exploits are "usually" removed/patched. Add that to the fact that the user could have rooted by an already known working method prior to an OTA and still flashed a leak of the official release before it was ever even pushed out. I suppose it makes sense for someone that just bought their phone but otherwise :shrug:
Yes, the Revolutionary tool should work just fine. http://revolutionary.io/

This is easily the most unnecessary thread I've seen in a LONG time. You had to look right at a number of stickied threads that would have answered this question.
Revolutionary does work after the GB update, I rooted my Thunderbolt yesterday, S-off,
DL Recovery, flashed the SU zip file. Took all but 10 minutes. Working great.
Someone should try and count up the number of "I updated to GB and want to know how to root" threads

Yeah, I thought about that. But, I'd like to point out that using the search feature isn't optional, it's kinda in the rules and demanded.
If you took the time to type out those replies, you might as well have just searched this forum yourself and posted the link, as well as telling them what they should do in the future. Swfreak wins this round. Then have the thread closed.

1st post by this member and more helpful than many other members around here...
i understand forums have these search options and stickies and what not but reality is... most people don't/forget/not aware/don't care that the answer is around here somewhere even if it's right in front of them.
In fact 99% of the time any question that is asked the answer lays somewhere in this forum. so what? what's another thread that was posted in the correct sub-forum called "Thunderbolt Q&A".
Hell what's the point of this sub-forum anyways if members are not gonna give answers but DIY smart ass remarks.
at least he knew enough to post the question in the right sub forum, lol.
btw, how is the new ota? i dont know if im going to try it.

uh....... The link is in my sig!!!! Just me posting 10 characters answers the question!!!!
I always wondered why there are two sub-forums, Q&A and General. Then I looked closer and the one is for "questions" (and answers obviously) and the other is for discussion.... So, there should be NO questions in the General forum, right ?
Kinda silly, methinks. Combine 'em into one, I say.

Amen. I hope that's not trolling. I am sort of new to this posting thing Don;t know if this is the right forum, but I appreciate the help you all give to us new guys. I do agree about the "search" thing though.
Thanks and my 2 cents
Thanks for the info. I did use search to find my answer, and that's what I got. Let me first say that I am very appreciative of all of the time you guys spend here helping out the less knowledgeable. Now for the other...
You guys are obviously here to gain info and to give...right?
So I don't understand why so many of you insist on bashing newbies when they don't do things exactly right. I would just like to remind you that at one time you were also a newbie, and probably did not post in the right forum or just maybe posted a question that had already been asked! Let's take what our mother's taught us..."If you don't have anything nice to say," you now the rest...
I know that I have been reading these forums and have spent hours and hours trying to find the answers I was/am looking for. And sometimes I just want a direct answer to my specific question...though I dare not post a question fearing that I get flamed because it *may* be posted elsewhere...
In closing, please just try to be nice...it's not the end of the world if there is more than one place the same question is answered. Just reply with the link, and maybe the person will realize to do a search for his next question...
Thanks for listening... and please, don't flame me

There are a few branch-off ASOP ROMs though.
Out of my curiosity, what is your reason not to use the AOKP in here?

I think the the reason people might be giving you a hard time is because you started a thread and clearly put yourself self above the Golden Rule of using the search button. It is pretty clear what we have in the development forum dude. So whether you have you reasons or not for using whoever's rom here. It doesn't matter. You didn't search. You wanted others to do the foot work for you and spoon feed you. You are now just another statistic that is clogging up xda with useless threads. Thanks!

You are hilarious. Have you even looked at the total load of crap that is piling up in the AOKP thread? Talking about useless threads. really ?
Use the search button? you got to be kidding me. Some people may want to browse the latest technical issues that came up, and need to read thru pages and pages of total off-topic blabber.
I have a news flash for you. People will continue to post questions and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
Maybe a private forum is a good solution for you if you get annoyed by people asking questions.

Well basically what you are doing here defeats your whole purpose of this useless thread. You've started a thread that adds no value to this community and proves your disregard for the forum by using the search button. So to be fair. This seems to me that it could be considered to be about as "off topic" as my thread can get. Good job!

im not annoyed at all dude. im just stating a fact. the fact is, that you couldn't even figure out how to use the search button. thats ridiculous. the search button filters out what you're calling "off-topic blabber." so you should really begin to school yourself on how to use it. it would be awesome.
i don't need a private forum. but thanks for the suggestion. I actually add value to this community and keep the development moving. what do you do? I'm thinking it might be a good idea to take your own suggestion and start a private forum for yourself. that way your non-development and opinionated threads can be elsewhere from the actual development and XDA can continue to be what its about. DEVELOPMENT.

what im telling you is. and i am sincerely attempting to help you. is if you dont like the off topic stuff in my thread and thats the only reason keeping you from it. you can filter the thread with the search function. i fix a lot of things and there is a ton of actual development in there if you choose to search for it. i have to use the search button in my own thread at times. its just how popular threads go sometimes.

Man, if that's the reason you don't want to try Task's AOKP, you should try to come up with some other reasons. His ROM is awesome. He updates at a maddening pace and fixes a lot of things. He is an awesome developer. Also, like he's been telling you, the search button makes it easy to find something you may want to find, you don't have to read through all of it if you don't want to. Sincerely speaking, you should at least give the ROM a try, the download link is in the first page, so there is no off-topic posts to read through to try it. I promise you you will not be disappointed.
I was just catching up on the thread in the general section that says root has been achieved, and then the last post says that you can find the info in the development section? I don't see a development section for our phone yet, are they referring to the sprint models development thread? I'm apparently missing something here... When I first bookmarked our forum there was a development section, but I don't see it there anymore?
I think you need at least 10 quality posts to view the development thread. I've lurked here for a few years with not much to add since I'm no dev. It's time for me to give back where I can.
I believe they made all sections (General, themes, q&a and development) and opened them up together. After a few post in the General you should see it because it's definitely there

Ramjet, your answer was great. You took the time to guide this guy in the right direction and even told him the thread starters name to help more, also adding that download links were there and notified him that this is the wrong place for a question. If someone couldn't find the thread with the info you provided, they don't need to be modding their phone anyway. I see you around here helping anyone that needs it. Good job.
Twisted, what's the sense in getting on Ramjet? He's not a troll by any means and was only trying to help. He probably didn't post a link because of the good directions he gave in finding it. The guy probably found the thread before you ever posted your link. Troll me if you want but that's just my 2 cents.

Why help? This is a community that's built on helping and learning (at least its supposed to be). I spent months asking stupid questions and then I got to the point where I could start helping. We need to let the mods sort out where the posts belong.
If I were on vacation and went to a gas station to buy beer and I didn't see any on the shelves, I might ask the clerk if this is a dry county. They would say yes or they'd say no we're out. I wouldn't expect the clerk to say "go do some f..king research".
