[Auto] Root and Unroot (Windows)**Updated**5/20** w/MR1 update

[zero neck]

@sseth - sensed roms - das bamf 1.6.3 is good, as cyberwarrior suggested lightning rom (gets good reviews i havent tried it), perfect storm has a large following
desensed roms - tesla coil seems to be the leader in that category. newer one vanilla bean is looking pretty good also.

Battery life is great and its running Adrynalynes Bamf 4.3a kernel. Developer Dhemke17 is very dedicated to the rom and is constantly updating, improving and adding different color themes. The radio update is available on his rom thread.

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah I really like that red theme. I've always loved red themes going back to the Dark Cherry Flavored Ice theme for the Nexus One.

Thanks again man.

Anyone know if this will still work after installing the ota update today?

Root like normal then just flash the pre-rooted update RUU.

Thanks for this guys! I got the phone today and I can't wait to root. I just wanna know if there is a torrent or something of this, the file is really big and my download is going pretty slow.

Thunderbolt update being pushed tonight

DroidXcon, any chance of getting the new update ruu incorporated into the 4/23 update. The new firmware update is available in The Atlanta , GA area now, and just updated my TB, this current Autoroot , I assume is not compatible with the latest 05/12 release.

Attempting to un-root then re-root my phone to fix a couple issues.....

I am having issues int he first step of unrooting. I start it, then come to the screen where it says "Unplug the USB cable......fastboot will be selected........around 10 seconds later it will proceed to next step"

....Well it never proceeds to "the next step". It just sits there on that screen.

Help??

Also, even though my phone is just setting at that screen, I went ahead and "pressed any key to continue" in the cmd window and it closed!

Wtf?!?

yeah I think I just accidentally figured that out......I cancelled the update cause the cmd screen closed and about to start over.

Buuuutttt what's up with the cmd window on my pc closing? What if that happens again?

The wtf in the last comment was not needed...after you flash the ruu you are done anyway

My bad.

Oh that's it for the unroot? Thought it was a longer process given the auto-root procedure. Well cool beans then.

Unrooted and rooted scucessfully......but

.....after root I went into "Software Updates" to grab that ota update and it downloaded, powers down, starts to install/update, then switches to a a scary looking exclamation point screen and just sticks. The first time I had to yank the battery to start it back up. This time I am just waiting longer to see if something happens.

Any ideas?

You were not suppose to update after root. Its plastered all over the forums.

Unfortunately still getting random reboots as others seem to be getting
