Hi,
A long long time ago I rooted my thunderbolt, using the revolutionary method. Right now my android version is 2.3.4 and I would like to update it to the latest version while still remaining rooted.
Is it possible to easily do this with my current setup? I have Revolutionary CWM 4.0.1.4 on my phone.
Not sure the proper order of operations to update android versions while still maintaining root status.
Thanks!

yep as long u rooted u can easily jump from 2.3.4 to other rom 2.3.5 or 4.x
just put ur new rom on sd card, enter ur recovery,wipe everything, then flash ur new rom.
ur stat rooted will stay:highfive:

Revolutionary is a bootloader... And keeps you locked into s-off... Your rooted status on any rom you install will depend on the rom and your super user binary... But recovering root is as simple as flashing a superuser binary if it is lost, so long as you don't remove your revolutionary bootloader (designed to be difficult to remove, can't be overwritten easily or accidentally, no worries) I highly recommend switching to 4ext recovery, especially for 4.0.4 ROMs... But, your device, your choice.

Sorry, but I am still confused on some things.
Switching to 4ext recovery -- What does this mean?
Also would the most popular 4.x.x ROMs work for my thunderbolt?
And final question: Would this completely wipe all of my personal data + apps or simply just upgrade my phone's android OS?

Most, yes, so long as you use an up to date recovery .IMG
In order to correctly install a new ROM, you must wipe /data, /system, cache, and dalvik cache in recovery prior to install... If you're already rooted and s-off, you can create a nandroid backup with your recovery. Search for that phrase if you don't understand what that is... Hope that helps.

I'm not sure if it will update hboot or not. I would assume not, but I'm not sure. What version are you on? And I'm not sure if it technically kills root, but I forgot to flash Superuser after flashing the custom recovery, then upon returning to my phone, Titanium Backup didn't recognize my phone as root. I just had to flash su again and problem solved.
I was on hboot 1.5, unlocked my phone a couple months ago via HTCDev (it keeps it s-on), and then flashed a custom recovery (never flashed a custom ROM or kernel or anything).
You can follow the steps in that thread, but basically, to get the update, I had to flash the stock recovery, install the OTA update, then flash twrp and su again to get my custom recovery back and retain root. This worked for me.

I literally just did this in the last hour, so I can't say for sure how the performance will increase. But from what I read, it seems to have a better overall increase in performance and battery.
Also, may make things easier to update to ICS when its released if I am more up to date on software and such
ALSO, do we know for certain whether this will upgrade the 1.4 hboot to 1.5 or not??
This does not change the hboot.
Thanks Kart, but you only have one post here under that usename
Can someone else confirm that taking the OTA does not mess with the hboot?

Its only been a day since the update, but my phone feels a little faster. My battery also seems to be improved. I've been off the charger for about 6 hours and only down to about 93% battery. Normally I am at about 60-70% by now. I also noticed no drop in battery immediately after taking it off the charger.

Moving to Q&A
Hello all, I've been a long time lurker around here, and I first want to thank all the devs for all their hard work in making this such a great device. In anticipation of a fully working ICS build in the near future, is there anything I need to do before flashing an ICS ROM? I'm currently running CM7 with HBOOT 0.57 with S-On. Do I need to get S-off in order to flash ICS, or can I just flash it as I would any new Gingerbread ROM? Also, what other, if any, benefit is there to obtaining S-off?
you are using CM7 but with S-On? i thought before rooting the phone, we need to s-off the first?

Rooting does not require to remove security (s-off).
S-off allows you to flash recoveries, hboots, radios via fastboot, which I think is classed as being safer than via recovery.
It also allows you write access to system while android is booted.

I originally had the old version of Froyo (or was it Eclair?) that came with the phone. This was before an update that made S-on prevent the installation of CWM. Back then, I was able to use the Unrevoked method to root and install clockwork recovery. I can't remember all the details, but needless to say, S-on with HBOOT 0.57 back then did not prevent root, CWM, or the flashing of ROMs, and possibly kernels. I've flashed new CM7 ROMs up to one that was stable and after the gps was fixed, so everything works fine. I believe I'm running CM nightly 184.
This is why I'm wondering if the installation process if different for CM9 than for CM7. I don't know if S-On will interfere with the new version of android.
Edit: Here is the thread for unrevoked that I followed way back when. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788737

Sorry for my noobishness, but does this mean I can still flash an ICS ROM through my usual way in recovery? I remember reading somewhere that the flashing process for ICS is slightly different than Gingerbread ROMs. Also, I don't really care about being able to write to the system directory unless that has some advantage that I am unaware of.

Alright. Thanks for clearing that up. I'll of course be sure to make a full backup and wipe everything before flashing ICS (I'm holding out until gps and camera are fixed because I use both quite freqently).
I tried looking around, but a lot of the posts were from mid/late 2011 about this.
Currently my EVO 3D is still on stock Gingerbread.
I tried to lookup a stock ICS rom, but almost all of them are custom roms based on the stock rom. Basically, ATM all I want to do is upgrade to a rooted version of the sprint ICS rom, not install a completely custom rom. Also, I have heard that with the official rom you can upgrade without losing any information. Is it possible to do that with ANY of the custom roms or would they all require me to backup my data because it will have to reformat my phone? ATM I am not looking for a custom rom and really, just want to be able to upgrade to the stock ICS while still having root purely so I can delete all those annoying preinstalled apps.
Will backing up data from a gingerbread rom and then restoring it to a ICS rom cause any problems?
And I have no idea how to go about doing it, I know I should at first use the temp root just to backup my information.... but I am lost on the whole S-OFF and flashing from past that point thing.

The HTC method will leave you with unlocked, s-on. That is what some folks seem to to refer to as the partially still locked issue.
I would just use the HTC method, and then use the wire trick method to get s-off. Then you are unlocked and have control of what ever you want to do.
When it comes to the roms, you need to do a little research and make sure you have compatible components. If you upgrade to the latest H-boot, then certain roms will no longer run. Personally I am running the cool rom as of last night, but have been on mean rom for the last couple of weeks. I have been using the "other kernel" with hboot 1.58 and things have been pretty good.
The meanrom 2.6 is a good choice for you in my opinion as it will give you root access with as close to stock as you can get. It has the kernel and new hboot instructions in it also so I would consider it a good fit for what you are looking for. I do not believe you can overclock the kernel it comes with, but you did not request that.
As to backing up your data. Everyone will have their preferred program or method. I have purchased the rom tool box pro edition from market, I use it to back up apps and data. Regardless of what you use, be careful when restoring the backups. I restore data like wifi, messages, contacts. I do not restore the system data, especially if I am changing between roms as it is much easier to type in a little data than to figure out why the thing is unstable.
It just takes a bit of research, but all the information you need is available.
Have a good weekend.

But dosen't the HTC method force me to reformat my memory, thus requiring me to do the temporary root so I can run titanium backup before doing it?
On a related note, I am not sure just how I would restore my apps actually. I mean, the first thing my phone would ask me to do is to sign into my Gmail account, and when I do that, it will automatically attempt to re-download all of my apps wouldn't it? (And fail spectacularly since I don't have enough space, nearly all of my apps are on my SD card and my internal memory is still full, lousy preinstalled bloatware that you cannot remove...)

Like I said, I just want a rooted stock rom for now, not a custom rom.

Shameless self promoting here but, for some background info have a look at:
[Guide]My Hboot 1.5x HTC Unlock/recovery/rom/kernel flashing notes
Evo3d(CDMA)HBoot/S-off Differences & Rooting Background Info
I've been using MeanRom ICS since it came out. Very solid, very similar to stock, smooth, reliable, fast, but all the extras. S-Off is strongly recommended b/c HTC Unlocked (S-on) users are hit or miss on being able to install ICS Roms. If you are still on Hboot 1.50 you can get s-off by downgrading Hboot to 1.40 or the Jbear wire Trick. If you take the official ICS update Jbear is your only option at the moment.
You may be able to use EsFileExplorer to back up your user apps w/o rooting, but an option to consider is to HTC Unlock, install a recovery, flash SuperUser and have a full rooted stock (S-On) phone that you can backup with Ti Backup or the custom recovery (don't think you will lose anything in the process).
With HTC Unlock, you wont be able to update to ICS while rooted, you'd have to relock and flash the full RUU (erasing the phone) and unlock/root again.
Upgrading to ICS, you should be able to restore your user apps, but system settings/google accounts (especially GB backups) etc will cause issues so you will most likely need to just bite the bullet and plan on re-entering things the first time through. FYI, Virus's update thread only works for S-off users.
Wait, if I do S-OFF and then use an official rom, would I be stuck with S-ON again?

Once s-Off, always s-Off. (unless u send the command via fastboot)
S-Off trumps unlocked bootloader (htc unlocked)
Running a full stock Ruu will not reset to S-on

Dont take the OTA!!!
You are lucky enough to have a device that is able to get S-OFF. Do this while you still can. If you take any OTA you lose this ability.
**NEVER** take an OTA. I can't stress that enough. Thats rule #1 of rooting
So if I want some of the new improvements / features....what do I do ?
If I were you i would run lazypanda to get S-OFF and TWRP on your device. Then do a nandroid, backup your stuff with titanium backup, and then download and flash the new ROMs & radios

If you're s-off, you can flash whatever you want...including all the beneficial things from the OTAs (radio, kernel, ROM) without the detriment (hboot). The latest firmware and stock rooted ROM have already been posted, so you can flash them just as soon as you get s-off.

Not as long as you don't wipe data in twrp. Depending on what ROM you flash you may run into some issues a clean wipe of everything is recommended to ensure that all the Roms tweaks and improvements are incorporated into the system correctly.

Hi all,
I want to apologize now if this is in the wrong section, I am very new to this forum. I recently want to install Cyanogenmod onto my HTC One M8, I got that to work. I created a backup on TWRP before installing cyanogen and I ended up not enjoying cyanogenmod. I restored my backup and I still have Superuser installed. I don't think it installed correctly to begin with because I get the error "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" I tried to uninstall the app by going into to root explorer and deleting it from there. Once I do that, I get the error "Superuser.apk cannot be deleted because the file system is read-only." I also went on root checker, and confirmed my phone isn't rooted. This is the toolkit I used to "root":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065
Now I just want to get my phone back to original stock, just like it was before I did anything. I am also clueless on what S-OFF and S-ON are.
BTW: I also could relock the bootloader with the same tool linked above, I don't know if that could help or not.
Thank you
Do you have the AT&T version of the M8?
Were you on Lollipop when you unlocked the bootloader and tried to root?
Notice the toolkit has not been updated in over a year, and you can bet there are going to be problems (especially if you were on Lollipop).
I suggest staying away from this and other toolkits. The steps are easy to perform "manually" using fastboot, etc. Plus, the toolkit being outdated is going to cause you major headaches.
Answer the questions I posed above, and we can go from there.

Its not completely clear what you've done to cause SuperSU to show up on the stock ROM. You've either:
1) Restored your stock Sense ROM while keeping app data (from CM12), which is not recommended, or
2) You tried to root before you made the stock Sense TWRP backup.
If #1 above, try either factory reset; or restore TWRP backup making sure to restore system, boot.img, and data (assuming all those were originally backed up).
If #2, the toolkit tried to root using a very old version of SuperSU that is known to not work on Lollipop (need around SuperSU 2.44 or newer). In which case, you were probably never actually rooted to begin with (note that root is not needed to flash custom ROMs).
If the intent is to be on the stock ROM, but have root: Make sure you have current version TWRP. Fastboot flash the latest TWRP version 2.8.7 from here: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
Then download the current version SuperSU 2.46 from the following link. Boot into TWRP, and install the SuperSU 2.46 zip: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU
Alternately, if you really want to return to full stock (no root, get rid of SuperSU completely), you can relock the bootloader (not required if s-off) than run the 4.28 AT&T RUU. But note, the RUU will wipe the phone (including internal storage).

Relocking the bootloader is a single fastboot command, and you don't need a toolkit for that: fastboot oem lock
If you don't know how issue fastboot commands, time to read and learn. And knowledge is a far more useful "tool" than any toolkit program you can fine.

The RUU is mostly automated and self-explanatory. Just connect the phone to PC (Windows 7 or 8.1 recommended, Win8 and especially 10 are known to cause issues) and run the RUU executable (after you download it, obviously) and it will launch and guide you through the rest.

You were never properly rooted to begin with, due to outdated version SuperSU. You can probably just flash SuperSU 2.46 to properly root. You can RUU to "full stock" if you want to be sure. But I'm pretty sure just flashing the correct version SuperSU will fix your "root" issue.

Just install the new SuperSU. It will overwrite the old apk app as needed.
