Sorry for being so new at this, but I'm on stock firmware and have never rooted before. With this tool can I root my phone and then install Gingeritis v1.2.1?
Anyone with a Thunderbolt tried to use revolutionary yet?
Thanks in advance!
I flashed it and it gave me s-off but
Rom Manager acts like my phone is not rooted.

When I used Revolutionary, it hung/froze after it did the root.
I was S-OFF but had to manually install su, busybox, and CWM.
You're most likely in the same boat.

Does Revolutionary give me root?
No. You will need to flash this zipfile from recovery.

Easiest root I have ever done on any phone. Glad I waited for this to come out , so easy.
Sent from my Verizon 4GLTE HTC Thunderbolt
Can't wait to try this. Been stock forever and this might be the time I would want to root. So I basically Use Revolution to get S-off, and then download that zip and run it and everything is cool?
That's all you have to do, don't forget to download Busybox.

Hello All. Long time reader and first time poster.
I just ran this and I have s-off but when I attempt to run Recovery so I can install superuser su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip, my phone just reboots and I get the red exclamation point. Any advice?
Download Superuser from the market.
The easy way is not always the best way. You guys need to learn ADB so when your phone messes up, you can run commands and fix it.

IMO DBZ Fanatics is still the easiest root method for the thunderbolt. I have learned alot since rooting but would still recommend it to anyone who is a NoOb at rooting.

LOL.
Well I'll be the first to say, "I told you so!" when their volume buttons break and they need to un-root to make a warranty replacement.
ADB is your friend and "ADB for Dummies" on YouTube is your lifesaver:

When you ran the tool did you forget to check the box that said install recovery ?? If so you need to start over again.

+1. I've had to do the manual way so many times... I feel like there will be many more questions doing a one step method, rather than the ADB method, as one step doesn't really give you a detailed description on whats wrong.
Most of the mistakes are from not reading the instructions.
This is just out and the instructions for Thunderbolt have not
been posted yet. There are some general instructions that are
being used today. With one mistake I made it still only took five
minutes and I don't have any problems to fix.
FWIW... Use these instructions posted by XDA Member rivera82falcon in the INC2 forum:

EXCEPT FOR STEP 9c, where you will need to flash the Thunderbolt CWM file, located here:

Anybody know when the new revolutionary 1.5 hboot update is being released? I bought my phone from Best Buy and the sales rep took it upon herself to update my phone for me. HTC's way is gay and I'd rather wait.

haven't seen anything posted yet. the best places to contact (or be in contact with) revolutionary is their irc channel on freenode, #revolutionary.
it will be interesting to see how they approach supporting the later version, i.e. whether they completely replace the bootloader or exploit htc's unlock method.
we all anxiously await!
Appreciate it. I've been searching for a week now.

htc method works for me. its a little annoying to flash a rom (need to do fastboot boot recovery to flash it) but it's still full root and stuff.
the title is a bit misleading. and I hope it breaks through soon
i just got my fone off of ebay today. it was already updated. guess im dead in the water for now
I used HTC's method to unlock and get root, I am on 2.5 and updated as well because my first intentions for the phone was not to root it, and now I am kicking my ass for updating to 1.50 Hboot. But either way, here is how HTC's method has worked for me in case any of you are thinking about doing it and wondering if it is worth the trouble. Yes, it is worth the trouble. Instructions and time to do it all in all wasn't even that bad in my opinion, and now at least I can flash roms (which I have been doing a lot this past week back and fourth). However I want a pure AOSP rom, with pretty much NOTHING sense, no sense dialer apk, contacts apk, evo stock messaging apk... a lot of the "AOSP" roms out there now still have some of these things that I have tried. So basically I want CM 7, cuz that's the best AOSP rom I have ever used... and I downloaded the Alpha build from Toast, but it requires S-OFF.. which doing HTC's method does not turn S-OFF... so it makes me sad So hopefully this gets kickin soon!

I had no idea HTC forces two or more men to engage in sexual acts just to get the boot loader unlocked. That is just not right!
Oh wait, I did the HTC method and had no sexual contact with another male. I think you'll be fine there pal.

But you have no clue what is happening in HTC's server room or software development office. The homosexual acts may be taking place on their side.
BTW, if some tech support person updated my phone for me automatically, I'd tell them I didn't want it and they can change the phone.

Here are the instructions I went to and followed and worked just fine. the website requires you to create an account before you view the goodness, but of course that is free. Other than that, you just need to download a few things; one being the HTC Sync program, and a couple of Zip files, but after you do that, follow the instructions and you'll be good to go!

I did the HTC 1.5 "rooting" method successfully.
My problem now is that adb won't recognize my phone when I'm in fastboot (trying to flash ROM/Kernal). If I'm in the ROM it recognizes it, if I'm in recovery it recognizes it, when I did the 1.5 "root" it recognized it.
However when I get to the point of trying to fastboot into recovery it doesn't see it using the "adb devices" command.
I've tried reinstalling SDK several times, I've tried reinstalling the USB drivers several times, I've tried all of it on two different computers (one xp, one windows seven), debugging is allowed and fast boot is not checked.
This is a problem for flashing ROMs AND Kernals obviously.
Any ideas?

that's because you need to use fastboot, not adb, when you're in fastboot. google htc fastboot drivers g1. they're for the g1 but work fine for all other htc phones. put it in the same directory as adb. and the command is
fastboot devices
so yeah, there's your problem
omg I was stuck on a step that was already completed....thanks for your help! First droid, first root, first flash successful

Team Revolutionary has already the patch.. i presume they're working on it and they'll release soon but there's no ETA .. we're on the same boat .. HBOOT 1.49.0011 and 1.50 same exploit tool i guess..

So, I have gone through the whole process of rooting my phone, unlocking it. I have TWRP on it, Titanium backup (thankfully), Goo Manager. It is S-on. I have 2.09 Hboot. My TWRP-jewel is 2.5.0.0. Ok, now onto my question, I am trying to get CM-10 to load but it doesn't go any further than the load screen. No matter what I try. I have even tried switching to JellyBAM but all to no avail. Can someone offer me tips as to what I may have done or be doing wrong? Thanks in advance
[Q] trying to put CM10 on my rooted phone
Forgive me if I put this in the wrong group, but I feel this is probably the right one for it. I have Hboot 2.09. I have TWRP. I have S-on. I want to put CM10 with Gapps onto my phone but every way I have tried, CM10 just sits there and loops around, the longest being an hour. I figured some time was possible, but come on. Over on Google+, people are telling me to flash this and flash that, fastboot this or that. I have no idea what they are trying to say to me. I am loving learning all of this but I need a little more explanation than just flash something. I realize that flash has something to do with commands. I am running windows 8 if that helps on my laptop. My TWRP version is 2.5.0.0. I don't know if my phone has gone through the latest update or not. Thanks for any help you can give me!
You have to install the kernel separately from the ROM since you're S-on. Click the link in my sig for more info.
You most likely have the newest touch panel driver, so you can only use ROM's based off the latest OTA, software version 3.16. Your touchscreen won't work otherwise. You can gain S-off and downgrade your touch panel driver, at which point you can run AOSP ROM's like CM.

First of all you might be on the newest touch panel driver, and that's the first thing that gets you in trouble because aosp roms don't work with that, as of now, it might work later... Who knows... Secondly you need to flash the boot.img separately thru fastboot because your are s-on and on 2.09... To make your life easier try to get s-off either thru facepalm or dirty racun... That way you can flash any rom and also downgrade your touch panel driver to get aosp working on your phone... If you flash viper rom it has a senseless option so you can use nova and get stability and some sort of aosp look... Good luck!
Sent from my EVO
Yes, S-off is the way to go if you want to run CM. Otherwise, try meanbean or viper or sharkie or any other sense based Rom. They should work fine.

ADB commands must be issued when the phone is mounted as media share not as fastboot. Connect your phone as if you were transferring files between it and your pc.
Something new to try since you're on the latest OTA.

I do have it connected to the computer like that. Do you mean I have to go into TWRP and mount it that way? I tried it that way too. I downloaded and whole new android SDK to see if that is the problem. If not, I am going to factory reset my phone and start over. I can't imagine why I was able to root the phone, get it unlocked, but now I can't do anything else with it. Not even get adb commands to recognize it.

I went thru a process that with the steps combined with htcdev site got me to say unlock my bootloader. I used hoot 2.09 and I was supposed to flash this pimg175 zip to i guess install a recovery. Well that won't work at all... I cant get my s on switched to s off and so i am stuck with according to the hoot screen a tampered, unlocked with s on, unrooted phone. I am so confused with all the steps and files I had to download, rename and save to various folders that I gave up. With my phone at its current state what do I do next? I deleted all the files from the day I unlocked it but if you can explain to me... And explain like if I was a five year old cuz I'm that dumbfounded on this subject... But if u can maybe walk me thru the rest of the process or walk me thru a undoing of what I done so far. I'm lisa. My email is [email protected]

Try the method I described in the thread I came up with this morning - if you're comfortable with doing everything. It wasn't too hard to do. I just had to convert the jargon into words I could understand.
Try using the Moonshine method first though! It's easy and straightforward - if it will recognize your device (which it wouldn't recognize mine for some reason).
Here's what I did.
Good luck!

I get the same error messages. For the update one, make sure your firewall and anti-virus are off. That solved mine. For the "Error run distiller again" issue, that's what brought me here. Pleases let me know if you solve this!

I think the "run distiller again and read" part means you pushed some buttons and otherwise touched or maimed your phone while Moonshine is working. I solved my issue. I was unzipping Moonshine to one folder then cutting the visible files out and pasting them to a separate folder. This left behind a hidden file. Solved problem by unzipping directly to my SDK platform tools folder which contains adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Worked first try. I'd already stopped firewalls, turned off anti-virus and tried to switch to usb file sharing during install (which is why I was told to "read". None of those were required this time. Never touched phone even though it was not in correct file sharing mode, and it still worked.

To run the RUU from Windows 7 64 bit, be sure to install latest HTC sync manager and connect phone to finalize driver installation. Then try again.

I assumed that if the phone rooted and adb and fastboot work than the drivers were installed? Some times the ruu comes up and ask me to install with recomended settings
Htc ruu won't work without sync manager, period.

Also, if your bootloader is already unlocked, you will have to relock it for RUU to work.

Actually, I don't have HTC Sync installed, and it surely works for me. Sync manager allows for the drivers to be installed.
Now having issues getting s-off! Any idea?

Some more info would be helpful. What ROM are you on? What Hboot do you currently have, and what is your radio (firmware) version?
It's important to provide as much information from the start so we can help you. There are currently five ways to gain S-off on the HTC EVO 4G LTE depending upon what software/firmware you currently have.

Ill need to check this one out. Thank you
no dice! still s-on
if it is of any concern my s-on shows RL after it?
Why don't you just do the RUU back to factory stock and try it from the beginning? It seems like it might save you some time over trying to troubleshoot what is actually wrong.
Try rumrunner again. That's what finally worked for me one time. Rumrunner didn't take the first time and it didn't make a difference running it a second or third time. Firewater didn't work either, but I had success when I went back to rumrunner.
My worthless theory is that, for whatever reason, RR wasn't able to complete a specific critical step, but that FW was able to handle it. But then FW encountered issues on a subsequent step. Going back to RR worked because, this time, FW already took care of the task that RR couldn't do the first time around.
Of course I don't have a stack of evo's sitting around waiting to be s-offed, so I didn't get much of a chance to test my theory. I seem to remain s-off now even after ruu.
Remember to wipe well. It will help prevent a stinky ROM as well as awkward social situations.
I ruu to the one that had sence 5 and then rooted and ran Firewater (2 TIMES) and I'm good! Thank you for all your help
