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 revolutionary method has been confirmed working, saw on another forum as well but won't post the link as I believe against rules.

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

then you need to learn to be more specific and yes I remember when I was a newbie but I never posted stupid questions... I poured over literally thousands of posts... I just bought my SGS2 a couple of weeks ago, and used it completely stock for a week before even flashing it with anything.
So the fact the OP is new DOES NOT excuse him/her from the same rules I adhered to or the same rules the more experienced developers adhere to. Much less a thread on how to root when it's a sticky. and baby sitters such as yourself are just as much to blame as people such as the OP because you give them what they want without any effort on their behalf, now that person will post each time they get a bug up their tail because those like you allow them to.
So if my rant can keep curve the behavior of just one newb then I am more than willing to keep ranting at all the stupid and unneeded new threads that come up, but I will never clog nor rant a reasonable question or well maintained thread.
the way i see it, it someones stuck an they ask a question its good to help them, especially if theyve tried and couldnt find anything. the search bar on here is useless even when being specific, av seen plenty of users say the same about it. n does it really affect you in any way if someone posts a question that may or not have been answered, no it doesnt so its not a massive deal. also some people havent got the time to go through thousands of posts looking for an answer that may or not be there. am not wana get into a big debate with you, all am wanting to say is there is no reason to be so rude. this is a forum at the end of the day, its for helping people.

as a matter of fact it affects me directly as does it affect you directly. If a user has no time to look for what they need, then they need not tinker with their phone, that' slike saying I don't have time to learn to drive, but I need a car to get where I'm going, the logic isn't worth the time used to think it up. And posts such as these are what make the search function on any forum hard to provide relevant material because of all the junk that is allowed to be posted. and this is xda, which is for developers essentially, and the best devs are leaving in droves because of complacency such as yours to allow noobs that have no business posting needless threads, much less owning device that DOES need time to research before being modified.
and I can go on and on and on and on, there is ZERO reason to tolerate half thought out post from newbies just because they are too lazy or don't have the time to look through the information that others like theirselves post.. if there were hardfist rules then the forum would not be clogged with useless posts and thus no need for my rant
right mabye you have a valid point, but is there any reason to be so rude to everyone? also just say the OP had tried searching here but couldnt find anything because of all the useless threads on here, whats he meant to do then? after all its not really his fault theres loads of pointless threads on here because hes a newbie. the only option left is to post a new thread, or go without an answer.

keep searching until he finds it because posting a new thread is the very reason we have all the clutter. if he has no time to keep searching then he shouldn't fathom modifying his device, it's as simple as that.
yeah fair enough but what if the answer hes searching for isnt there? cus am sure at somepoint there will be valid questions unanswered. and if newbies do post pointless threads then you could state to them that they should be searching etc without being rude about it all.

I stated VERY clearly a couple of responses ago that I will never rant on a valid thread and will do my best to help the OP. I have never been rude to anyone that honestly NEEDED a hand, but I will flame anyone for stupid posting. Because you are completely right, how can you find the information if it's not there? BUT if the information is there, AND in a sticky, then there is no excuse for the laziness.
AND I did make the statement a few posts up that I would not rant or be rude to someone that needed the help. I was very clear.
yeah i know but what if the newbie has seached and cant find the answer, even if it is a pointless question, surley he has a right to ask the question without getting flamed. if hes a newbie he wont know what questions will have been answered n whats not. he wont know hes posting an answered question because hes tried to find the answer and couldnt. i dont want to argue with you but personally i like to be polite to people and manners go a long way. we just see it different. a can see your point of veiw about it getting cluttered but newbies dont really know any better so you should mabye cut them some slack

cutting them some slack just makes the problem worse. if the answer is there these is ZERO justification for the new post. If the answer is NOT there by some chance, there is ZERO justification for me to be rude to them and I will dedicate myself to help them find an answer, but if it's in plain sight, I will also dedicate myself to trying to make sure they think twice about not looking for their answer. such as this thread, does the OP think they are one of few that wants to root his/her phone and that's its done so little that the answer is not in plain sight? that's the only logic that fits into your argument, other than just flat out laziness.
THERE is no justification for being polite to those who are lazy and want spoon fed answers, that is one of the largest reasons many forums getting clogged so quickly
my arguement wasnt defending lazy people, its just saying to not to be rude to everyone who posts a new question, especially those who have tried but failed to find an answer

and my argument is against those that post new threads to answers that are there in plain sight... how many rooting threads are started everyday just like this one, I lose count... how many threads are started everyday about someone looking for stock firmware, I lose. how many threads are started everyday about now being able to download from a site that has been taken down, I lose count. and it goes on and on and on and on. Sadly you are not getting what am saying, IF it's a valid question, I will be one of the first to help, if's it's a useless thread I will be the first to rant

hi.
i bought a sim free s3 last year and used various uk sims in it.
then went to pakistan last year and took it with me. sims wouldnt work so had to get it rooted to work.
the guy said it had an international lock on it where you cant use it with other countries sims.
anyone got any idea i thought simfree means unlocked anywhere in the world.
dude, look through the section list again and tell me where the questions go. then hit "report" on the post and ask for it to be moved to the correct section. thanks

when we were new to this we were noobs too
edit: i have given you a thanks too show i mean no hate here
In that case presume you have reported the OP to the mods .
Why not ask the mods not to have a separate help section .

Can someone point me in the direction of the kt747 kernel that Beanstown refers to under the notes section for his Jelly 'Beans' - Build 5 [07/10/13]Perfection and Stability I545VRUAMDK ROM. I was able to find one thread with links to download it but wasnt sure which one I needed. Much appreciated!

Lmfao. That's like calling a cop a prick for giving you a speeding ticket when you were speeding. I told you that you posted in the wrong section because you did. There are rules on this forum. Also, you don't need to post at all to find what you're looking for. Hell, you don't even need to be on this website. Don't come around here expecting things to be handed to you. Look who else even attempted to "lend you a hand." Be happy with what you got. People need to learn how to do things on their own which is why a lot of us encourage that. If you see that as someone being a prick then I feel bad for you. I got 99 problems and knowing how to search before asking questions isn't one. You're welcome.
