Someone on here is going to kill me for posting this because I'm sure this has been covered somewhere in the Thunderbolt area....
I can't seem to find it though...
So the question... is there an app in the making for a one click root access to custom recovery?
TIA

GET HIM BOYS! But seriously, it's been reported that a one-click root method is in the works. Expect it within the next week or so.

Thanks man , metro Detroit in the house. Go wings.
I'm glad this is in the works because I really don't feel like ****ing around with adb on my phone. I'm running KaosFroyo v39 on my Eris and what a pain in the d*ck that was.

I feel you man, took me about 2 hours to get it rooted. Then another 2 hours to fix root on my custom rom, lol.

See there you go. I'll just go the easy route and grab the app. That's an app worth paying for/donating for.
Thunderbolt should be here Wednesday, I think I can live with it unmodded for a week or two ha.

Completely agree. The amount of work (not to mention fast!) that has gone into this device so far is definitely worth donating for. As soon as a quick root solution is readily available, I'd be glad to donate money towards it. Makes life quicker, though the adb solution couldn't have taken more than 30 minutes to follow carefully. Really not too bad if you copy/paste the commands and read it through first.

What big developers are working on the Thunderbolt? Does Kaos have his hands on one yet? I haven't been following xda as much since he stopped development for the Eris
unrevoked tweeted that they are doing something with the thunderbolt but haven't heard anything else since release... honestly doing the adb makes you more aware of what is going on with your phone so if anything goes wrong you can fix it yourself... took me 2 hours also to root and it went smooth til I started messing with a rom that I was unable to wipe/ nandroid... but now thats fixed with the newest cwm... I'd give it a few weeks anyway to allow a stable recovery to be made and for kernels to start rolling out that optimize the device... I only rooted to get back a few of my games with data (level 63 gun bros mainly, and yes all my 3* levels on angry birds)

Oh don't get me wrong, I know how to use adb I am just lazy, in the time I have been responding back and forth on this thread I could have had it done. I had 3 Eris's (trackball fail) and I even had the joy of having to unroot one, which was fun

Nice , so the current roms that exist for thunderbolt are basically just de-bloated almost identical to stock RUU I take it
I havent had time to try any of the ROMs but pretty much all you gain with them is losing stuff like blockbuster, city ID, tunewiki and all the other bull**** that comes on them. Any one played rockband on here yet? IDK if its not optimized for this phone or what but it sucks balls, and huge balls. it isnt laggy, it just doesnt seem to be able to keep up with the touches when you are playing on hard and the notes are coming by fast.

Hey All, I know it's probably early for this... but is it possible to roll the OTA Honeycomb back to 2.3.4?
i recently bought the View for the wife and she's spent a couple weeks getting to know it and had it set pretty much how she wanted it (her first Android, and not rooted). I told to go ahead and do the update and now she's flipping over how it's completely different.
Thanks
there is a sticky at the top of the page with the answer...no it's not possible and not likely to be for some time.
great... I've read the thread over a couple times and have also been refreshing this forum for the last hour. I saw a lot of talk about rooted Views, wasn't sure how that pertained to a stock one.
Thanks for your efforts!

No.
It is not early.
It is too late
Sell this one and buy a new one with GB from eBay.

I for one, would love to see the device with the official Honeycomb upgrade. If any early adapter would please do a 5 minute video, showing us the layout and operations. I'm really curious how the HTC Sense interface works in the HC system.
Secondly, if there are any apps that cease to function, I'd like to know ahead of time.

I know this is for the Flyer, but seeing how no one has put up a youtube on the HC View, here it is for the Flyer. I reckon it's not much different other than Sprint bloat on it.

I messed with the wife's View this morning... I really think HC is a step backwards on the View. I'm all for advancements in general and look forward to ics on my E4GT but I really hope I can find a solution for going back to GB, it just seems to be the better choice for this tablet.

Gladly on a 10" dual core tablet... I'll have to research ics on my phone before giving it a go. Feature, look and performance wise, I'm with my wife on liking GB better for the View at this point.

I don't have my view yet but I do have Sense 3.0 on my phone. By looking at that video, I think HC is a nice improvement even if the physical buttons are not functional.
okay, spent the morning on the phone with the store I bought it from, the local 'repair' store, Sprint support, Sprint Resolution, HTC support, HTC return/repair, and back to the store I bought it from.
No one will roll it back, either for lack of ability or desire... and I'm 2 days past the 14 day return period on the new device. LUCKILY... the local store manager gave in and is approving the exchange! I'm off to the store now... wish me luck.
Good luck, my ROM has updating disabled and I plan on updating my gingerbread ROM until we get ICS

Meaning you're skipping honeycomb completely?
I plan to... actually, for the life and usefulness of the View's hardware, I'm fine in locking it at gb.
I ran into a snag at the store... the one unit they had in stock was a 'ship to store' that landed today, but the person that ordered it bought elsewhere. The manager couldn't get it released from the other account. I have to go get it tomorrow.

I'm right there with you on that. I do not like HC at all, I like having buttons.
My plan is the same, wait for ICS or stick with GB.

I don't have the HC update yet, but I kind of scratch my head at all of the people complaining about the buttons taking up the screen. Right now along the top of GB you have a bar running. Now the bar is at the bottom and has buttons on it. I guess to me it seems pretty much the same, minus maybe a few pixel lines. I suppose it's a different story full screen, I guess it's just not that big a deal to me.
It is only a big deal because we have the hardware buttons.

I got the replacement one about an hour ago and just about to get it set back up for her.
If "No", please let us know why you chose to hold off, and if/when you plan to upgrade to the leak/ and or OTA.
I will start.
I chose not to upgrade yet.
Mainly because, if anyone reading this was around during the Eris, 2.1 leaked fiasco, you will understand my new and improved policy of waiting at least 3 full days on anything leaked.
Anyway, I also am holding out because
1) Joelz (I hope) will be making a patch for us folk who are waiting.
2) I have been getting better batt life on GB
3) hasn't been 3 days yet.. but now that the firmware is out, I may be editing this post in a couple days.
Reminds me of the 3 day rule for not calling a chick after you get her number. HAH!
I went ahead and updated....we'll see how this goes.
I just upgraded to CleanROM 3.7, so I'm going to wait for the official release of ICS before I flash a next ROM.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
I voted No... ICS is not that big of a deal for me. My phone is #1 a business tool and having it work is more important that how it looks. That being said, I am quite content right now with GB, how the device looks and works. Battery life is acceptable and I can use all of the tools I need to use. It is one very AWESOME phone as it is right now.
This might change if I see a lot of users using it without a lot of issues, but I might just wait until the Official OTA arrives.
There are more things to life than ICS....
Never ending... after the masses gets ICS they will want JB and then they will demand KLP.... it never ends.
I did almost bricked in the process as well
But all in all I say its worth it. We atleast have a method to downgrade the hboot if needed

I am holding off until I see there are no issues AND there is a way to get back to stock GB via Ruu in the crazy case I need to return to Verizon.
They may not check much but I'd rather be safe since 4.0 is noticeably different.

You can ruu back with the mainver fix
Unless you haven't unlocked it yet
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
Nope still on GB. when the ota comes and custom kernels for ICS ill take the plunge. Still hoping for cm9 as well.
I have upgraded but I'm having trouble with the service.
Phone keeps telling me to insert a sim card when I already have one...
Just saw in Scotts ics thread you can't go back to Gingerbread after Ics ruu (he even updated his op).....so I will be holding off....at least until gets proven otherwise
Edit: now Scott is saying you can go back but there's a sd issue...however he said there is a fix....
so looks like I will keep on waiting for everyone else to be the guinea pigs lol
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
I didn't vote because there's no option for "I'm on the second ICS leak and waiting for more ROMs to be based off of the third leak".
I just hope there will be a Rom that doesn't require the ics ruu as a prerequisite.
I am sure those of us with our tin foil hats would really appreciate it.
Also I can only imagine the forums whenever the official release comes and by chance it doesn't play nice with the leak.
Looks like gb for me, unless there's a Rom that doesn't require this leak. Guess time will tell...hopefully everything works out for everyone but I will just err on the cautious side.

That was the worst.. What was it? something like a few days after the 2.1 leak had been out, root was attained (but only if you hadn't installed the leaked firmware)?
Anyways, I installed the newer firmware despite all this. I have confidence the Dev section here will carry us through any issues that arise
I did last night. Scary but easy. Clean Rom 4.0 seems absolutely flawless this far. Battery is great. Stopped using extended battery its so good lol.

new firmware
I got the AndroidPolice all-stock zip of the new VZN ICS. Experimented all day with it including the TAMPERERED warning, and other stuff. Found out that when 100% bone stock, the new ICS will allow you to freeze/eliminate all the things I don't use, like VZN Navigator, Twitter, Trneds, NFLMobile, Lets Golf,Hot Pursuit, Freindstream, etc. So, I am ReLocked, and stock and happy because a bunch of bloaty things don't start and can't be seen in the app drawer. Bottom Line: the new ICS is gonna be so great, some folks won't have to unlock to get exactly what they want. Warning: if you check it out, getting back to GB isn't impossible, but it's a hassle.

Yessir, no root was for me. lol, after about a week, I ended up calling CS and getting a refurb, they said nothing about the phone being on a leak lol.
i would rather wait a get the official OTA firmware. rather than some leaked ****.
I was rooted and had CM7 installed, but SBF'ed back to 2.3.4 this weekend because of the WIFI and GPS issues. Coincidentally the phone did work better with CM7, but I needed my GPS and WIFI and couldn't stick with it. SBF'ed back to stock 2.3.4 and same issues as before (bad phone lag, multiple daily reboots, etc.) Called Verizon and they are sending me a replacement Droid X2... (blah, nut if it works correctly, I will be fine with it till later this year)
So, I am just wondering if I am going to have any issues with my return. Is there any way they can tell we were rooted? She said if they find anything or if there was damage (which there isnt, been in otterbox case since day 1) that it would cost me $299.00... Theres no way I want to pay that for another Droid X2, and was just worrying myself. Any other rooted useres who SBF have any issues with returns to Verizon?
Nah, you're good. I've returned two SBF'd phones that had CM7.

I sent a Droid x and 2 Droid x2 all rooted and sent back after sbf. No issues. If I was you I would activate the new one wait about 6 hours and call back with the same complaint and ask for possibly a different deivice like maybe a incredible 2. Worked for me you would not be sorry! Unlocked!!
Its going to suck if your new DX2 comes back with Android 2.3.5 (or whatever their latest version is) on it. Apparently it can't be rooted.

I'm sure it will have the new junk on it. No root. Can sbf. No big deal.

The ultimate joke would be if OP got a new DX2 with the updated 2.3.4 thats should be out in a bit and if it got rid of rooting or bricked SBF's.
Thats why you guys gotta complain to them so you can get an early upgrade to something better. Like the Rezound or S3 like I'm currently waiting for.

Honestly, I am not worried about it. Funny thing was I called about my phone and they offered an early upgrade to my wife... who also got her phone the same time as me and wasn't due till November. Not quite sure why. They said I could use her upgrade.. yada yada... but I am waiting right now. Want to see what the next iphone is gonna be and make my decisions then. I have been thru 5 or 6 phones now and three different models and I am willing to check out an iphone. That is, if it is 4G. Not wanting to be stuck with 3G for another 2 years...
But I am not worried about rooting this new phone. Gonna leave it on stock and let it screw up and I am sure they will offer me something else...

I was due for an upgrade a few months back and never owned a smart phone but was able to get this phone free 2 weeks ago so obviously took it. Was hoping to get a few of you photon lovers to guide me in the best direction to get the best perfomance out of it. I have gotten the phone rooted and that is as far as I went. Due to so many mixed messages as to what are the best setups I was just wondering if a few of you that have had long time success with a particular setup could give me some steps. Thank you very much for any help.

I guess my personal input is
1 -- if you are in an area where you can get 4G speed, then stop and just enjoy it
2 -- use it awhile and if it does what you want to do, then stop and just enjoy it.
3 -- remember that ICS is coming soon. if you are willing to use an alpha ROM without 4G, and there is also something you Must have, then consider a custom ROM. And then enjoy it!

1-- 4G isn't a big deal to me since it is in limited areas around here and my 3G isn't horrible.
2-- I am enjoying messing with it, just figured if I can give it a performance boost I would.
3-- As far as ICS goes, I have it on my asus tablet and love it but been getting mixed messages on when that will be available for us if at all. If we do get it, I'm assuming any changes I make can be reversed ( correct me if I'm wrong ). Also thanks for your reply.
i love the photon but it will never be 4gbunlocked so that sucks. i run gummy rom installed with kitchen sink. i have zero problems with anything. ive ran every rom on here. kitchen sink gummy is best. be careful about installing bravia through kitchen sink i could never get it to boot so i left it out. beats audio is cool though, as is the bigger ics keyboard.

If 4g is of no concern to you then i would definitely suggest that you unlock. The little tweaks and such you can make to stock rom just doesnt even compare to what throwing a custom on it would do for ya. The reason i would suggest doing that as soon as you can is because the latest updates will permanently lock your bootloader, this also includes the ics update that is soon to come. It cant be reversed at this time unfortunately. Do yourself a favor and dont get locked down to a rom that you will never be able to get rid of.

I guess my personal input is
1 -- if you are in an area where you can get 4G speed, then stop and just enjoy it
2 -- use it awhile and if it does what you want to do, then stop and just enjoy it.
3 -- remember that ICS is coming soon. if you are willing to use an alpha ROM without 4G, and there is also something you Must have, then consider a custom ROM. And then enjoy it!

That to me was well said thank you. That being said,unlocking is the first thing I am to do correct? Then I will be able to explore different roms and such correct? If this is the first step then I'm off to learn how to unlock this thing.
Here's a great reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393519

Cybiks pure CM7 if you want everything to work flawlessly. Cm9 if you can stand a couple bugs and want bleeding edge ics. If you choose cm9 be sure to read the cm9 fixes thread for proper installation procedure.

Has anyone had good success with Kitchen Sink and Gummy rom other than the guy earlier in the thread?

I said
4G is Much faster, but I travel a lot and rarely am able to keep a 4G connection for more than 30 seconds or a minute or so. And more like 1G in my house, but I use 6M WiFi so OK. So, 4G for me is worthless.
Addiction? LOL!
Peace !
I have tried CM9 and Gummy from Kitchen Sink and for both roms can not get past the boot screen.
Ignore this. Didnt mean to double post, i is drunk.
Yep, success with both. Tell me your entire installation procedure for each and ill try to point you in the right direction. Its probably just a simple mistake. Also, the versions from kitchen sink are not the latest versions. Installing a rom the good old fashioned way is less convenient but less prone to error.

I don't think kitchen sink has been updated lately. there are more recent threads for each rom. this will help with cm9 questions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22915493

Which version of cm9 are most people using? I grabbed the latest from Jokers site and seems good except I have no phone service lol.
Two different versions of cm9 and neither have a mobile network. I am using jokers recovery v3 to flash. not sure what I am doing wrong and damn the rom runs soo smooth, any help is appreciated. I am putting the roms on my sd card booting into recovery, doing a data wipe and cache then installing the zip from my sd. It boots into the rom fine although it does say something about an error once booted but the only problem I see is no mobile network.
Go to cm9 fixes thread, grab cm9 version 3.1. Wipe system/dalv/data/cache, install 3.1, boot, reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, install latest cm9, install gapps, reboot.
