[ALL IN ONE] The HTC Thunderbolt Tool!

[Nivek1711]

SUCCESS!!!!!! Turns out the serial number on my phone was wrong so the Revolution site was giving me the wrong key. Now, I'm just wondering where the SuperUser app is on my phone, it's not showing up in in my apps. Sorry to be so noobie

What's up Mookie? Glad to see you finally decided to take the plunge! Trter is right; you don't have to flash superwipe. I do it, but only cause I think it's faster and easier. Here's the link:

Superwipe - mecha centre

Just download it, put it on the root of your sd, and then flash it from recovery before you flash a ROM.

I'm happy I've finally rooted also. Took me long enough. Still going on 2+ hours of 100% w/ below average use (at work). That's a HUGE plus for me. Can't wait to try out more. I'm going to use this Superwipe if I run into any issues in the future.

Thanks a ton for linking it.

Hi, where did you find HTC Sync to uninstall? I have searched on the pc and the phone can not find it.

Thanks!

Trter - to unroot - I assume it downloads the 2.11.605.9 RUU. ( [ALL IN ONE] The HTC Thunderbolt Tool! - Thunderbolt - RootzWiki - Page 3)

I already have it - its 441 MB, so is there a way and place to put it on the SD card so the tool will find it (with the right name needed - whatever you have selected it to be) and skip the attempt to download it?

AND . . .

how does it know which bootloader version to return to?? (1.04 or 1.05)

It outs you on 1.05.0000

If you put it in support_files\unroot\Stock-ROM.zip it should find it and skip the download.

Thank you, your response time is unreal!
Now I am noticing: (phone displays there is connection)
Device Manager Vista
"Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)"
Android USB Devices yellow caution triangle.
Windows solution can not find remedy on the WEB or on PC

Do you have a different computer to try on?

OK great - just to make sure - this is the same file as PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.9.zip - with no bootloader files in that Stock-ROM.zip the tool would need like hbooteng.nb0 or the like?

 

[one_red_thunderer]

Only other options, Mac Book and Unbuntu computers.

The file I use is the full ruu so that won't work

Ooooppss - glad I stopped and asked.

Is there a direct link to the dl.dropbox (if you still use them) link so I can use my high speed 4G LTE tethered 2 Mbps - plus - link to download it first - because I have to switch to a slow 384 kbps public connection when I use the tool. It will fail and time out on a file that large.

450 MB plus will take a long time to download over that slow of a link. (took me 5 hours for the one I have because "Rapidshare" has locked free downloads to about 100 MB per hour)

I am sure you know what I mean . . .

Whoo Hoo!!! I finally got it together. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!!

You can stay tethered while it downloads

I am talking about TWO different phones - and I do not have another USB data cable to use for the other Tbolt - and I believe the ADB process - won't know which device to use - so it will not work. I cannot see how the USB fake Ethernet connection of Easy Tether won't confuse the ADB process when it looks for attached devices.

I found this one => x/xxxxxxxxx/Stock-ROM.zip , BUT I do not know if it is 605.3 or 605.9 or if it is yours. [actual link edited to be removed]

I will have to use that slow 384 kbps (maximum) link - and it will fail on that large of a file - or take hours to download.

I am unrooting because I beleive this phone's first attempt to root used the wrong bootloader option in the tool - it was a 1.04 loader and I selected 1.05. The tool halted and failed after getting root and trying to install it - then I realized I had selected the wrong bootloader option - I restarted the process - and I cannot remember if selecting 1.04 or 1.05 the second time around got it to finish.

BUT - it ended up with screwed up WiFI and Bluetooth - the persistent "WiFi error" - where the WiFi had worked before.

Nothing has a possibility to fix it but to match the boot and kernel files back up before rooting and installing a rooted ROM I believe.

See Solve Your Sensation WiFi Problems and Learn More About HTCDev Unlock – xda-developers

I know it is a Thunderbolt and not a Sensation - but the WiFi Issue and the bootloader issue is the same issue for HTC period I am sure. Knowing Linux - it is the same for all Androids as well as Linux too - I am a Certified Unix Engineer and have worked with my share of Linux for years - and have found this issue on straight Linux too.

I have 605.9 on it now - and was going to use the manual hbooteng.nb0 method - but your tool would be "safer", since it was used to root it.

Besides - I am pretty sure your instructions say - somewhere - you need an Internet link that is NOT a phone.

 

[trter10-imore]

Alright, and yes the one on Dropbox named stock-rom.zip is the right one.

Thanks got it. - BUT . . . it did not work - the tool said "Sorry . . . Bad Download" (MD5 sums maybe different for this file if it was not yours ??) and started to re-download the file [I stopped it and killed the cmd window] - but the file WAS good as I flashed it direct using adb and the oem reootRUU command feature and it worked fine - and the file had a 1.05 bootloader in it - except of course it did not overwrite the 6.02 rooted bootloader.

I'll have to go the manual hbooteng.nb0 route.

441 MB in 15 minutes on 4G LTE that took me 4.5 HOURS on "Rapidshare" - because they have it "locked" to 100 MB per hour on "free" downloads.

Been trying to update and it hangs when trying to download thunderbolttool.bat. If anybody has this file somewhere else let me know. Tried to update using a direct link and dropbox says that it is limiting access because the max public gets has exceeded its limit. Help!

Sorry it'll be back Saturday
