do you have to have the bootloader unlocked to flash roms? this might be a dumb question. i just know on a few phones you don't need the bootloader to be unlocked its just better if it is.
This phone takes an app to root. Lol. And yes, the bootloader unlocked to flash non-factory ROMs

I was rooted on this Thunderbolt and went back to stock since the phone isn't really mine and I really didn't want to play the support role any longer. The owner of the phone now installed the latest Verizon update which is pretty good but the owners misses Wifi Tether so I agreed to re-root the phone. Everything is well until I try to do the "dd if=/data/local/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" command in adb, the md5 checksum is an exact match but I get a permission denied error which I didn't get before.
Any idea how I can get around this? Thanks!
I had the same thing I'm not sure what was the Cuase but I did the 3 click root and worked for me hope that helps

I just used the root procedure in the development section. It worked fine. Sounds like superuser didn't take. Try again and make sure you do exactly what is written.

I had to flash the recovery manually again from here->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218417 to get it back to a workable recovery. The one that rom manager flashes is completely unreadable and I even tried flashing a zip of the recovery from the link I posted, but it just booted back into the squiggly one without flashing it. So I had to push it manually with adb.
I flashed the linked version via Rom manager wiping dalvik and it restored just fine.

How did you "brick" it. With the sbf's available and rsd lite, these phones are pretty hard to brick. I had to manually push the recovery again because of the squiggly one, but that was the extent of it.
Im talking to koush via twitter now. Hopefully he can figure it out.
Apparently it has been fixed.

People have followed the steps correctly and are now soft bricked. This is not a bash against the dev's of the tool, as they did an amazing job. If there is going to be an updated tool with less risk some people may want to wait, thats all.

VirtualBox: For the few instances when you absolutely must have Windows to run a specific program. Much better than Parallels, imho. It runs flawlessly on my Mac, but in all honestly, I rarely have the need to boot Windows.

You're welcome. I had to ditch Parallels 5 when I upgraded to Lion because Nova Software refused to support it on 10.7. I did look into getting Fusion but I opted for Virtual Box since it was open source. Plus, like I said, I rarely have the need to boot Windows, so why pay for something I'll hardly use? I think the only time I've had to boot Windows is when I tried to theme a few apps for my phone. I've yet to find a decent Mac equivalent to zip7.

It *should* be possible. The bootloader just locks the boot partition for one. Just not the system partition which is where ROM root access is. I'd have to go over it with a fine tooth comb to figure it out, just don't have the resources (or time) yet.
But again, I've been getting literally thrown around a gym and choked for the past week, so my brain isn't at a 100%. Anyone, feel free to chime in if I'm wrong.
I always thought you could get temp root, but it reverts back on a reboot.

As of now, no one has a method of rooting the phone without unlocking the bootloader through HTCDev.com. However, HTC no longer supports unlocking the bootloader on this phone, so everyone is SOL unless you unlocked before they dropped the support. We will have to wait until someone finds an exploit to add root functionality.
