Anyone has done this on a Toshiba Thrive tablet (I have the 10") ?

Can you please post the steps that you did to achieve rooting?

Thank you

I am not able to find a thread in the toshiba forum that contains any combination of thrive_easy_flash_dos_v0.7

what am I doing wrong?

I found this in another forum:

thanks

thriveforums.org for the latested and virus free. that looks the same but might be old version. new version of clockwork mod frmoved partition sd card option which causes bricking ( your unit is totally dead) on the home page go to forums, roms and mods....you will find it .

If you still want to root your thrive,I would advise you not to update the system software 3.1.31.5.0011 As it removes fastboot that is used to root
The thrive.

Does anyone knows how to root a v3.2 device? I like to keep it simple and the Thrive forum takes you to 5 diferent pages and set of instructions and for a single root. Thanks

kind of long, but a good list of resources i was compiling for rooting mine when it arrives tomorrow:

(opinion link) stay on 3.1 or update to 3.2?:

Step 1-Root
Root it:

Root it for noobs:

If on HTK55D.31.5.0002 US HC 3.2.1 ROM, go here for the exploit to get it to be accepting root procedure :

If drivers are needed:

Step 2: CWMR (if not already flashed in Root-tutorials)

Step 3: back that tablet up using CWMR

Step 4: ROM-time
[/B]

(optional) Then, install ICS Theme:

Soooo ....should I root? I have 3.2
I need to get rid of these bloatware...its annoying. I need to be able to install these apps on my SD card because they take up lotta space.

I'm not sure that apps to sd works on HC currently, even rooted. So if that's your main goal, you might be disappointed.
