Ah, The instruction that said to make sure the phone was on charge only was a little misleading, I thought I was to have my device plugged in when i started the process. thank you

 

[trter10-imore]

You should have it plugged in, its just that I think you were having a random error and I just had you unplug it just in case l

Ah, well thanks it worked great!! Man, superuser looks A LOT different than the Eclair days... wow.

Superuser didn't install on its own, I had to go to bootloader to load CWM. Not an issue, just letting you know it didn't.

The popups said to tell rev to do it

I entered 'Y' when prompted on Revolution. HBOOT just didn't automatically load CWM. Still the easiest rooting process I have seen for the thunderbolt. This is awesome. It actually might have been easier than rooting my droid 1...

OH! haha I get it now. Thanks

Yeah sadly rev doesn't reboot to recovery, had that in the pop ups also... Just wish there was a way to automate it

Added a full text tutorial today for all the people that are daunted by doing this alone. I know I used to be.

Anybody have a 'review' on the new walkthrough?

Is there anything that needs to be removed from the SD card after rooting so there aren't any problems next time you boot phone or boot into revcovery?

Hello everyone. I am new here and any advice would be greatly appreciated : )

I did everything right up to flashing the recovery over fastboot. Now I selected bootloader, waited a few seconds..but before i could go to recovery what happened was this..

it says 'checking sd image'
image load failed' 3 times and then it gets stuck at:

HBOOT

parsing.. sd zip
1 mdm9k
2 radio_v2
do you want to start update?
vol up yes
vol down no
Please help me out.. also now my HBOOT is 6.04.1002 because i think i hit vol up the first time it came up thinking that was the recovery flash..

What do I need to do at this point? Thanks again everyone thank you for everything that you do

Reboot your phone and remove the PG05IMG.zip off of your SD card. Then power off and held volume down and power until hboot shows, wait a few seconds, then select recovery.

When I run the program, it doesn't move on from the "Waiting for device..." step 5. After checking to make sure the MD5sum matches (it does), installing (and even re-installing) the fastboot drivers, I've tried restarting computer and phone, turning off firewall, checked for the PG05IMG.zip, and even moved to a different computer to try it all again but came up with the same issue. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Any advice???

Is USB debugging enabled? Try disabling and re enabling

I'm struggling big time. I used your tool to root about a month ago. Received the OTA but denied it as I'm worried will brick phone. I downloaded 2.11.605.19 and put on sdcard. In Hboot, it asks me to download update and it appears to unzip and download but I'm still at 2.11.605.9. Can I flash this software right from hboot or do I need to flash from CWMod from sdcard. Very confused
