I was just about to try this! Yes, if someone can post up a mirror that would be awesome.

One question that I'm sure has been answered but I can't seem to find:

Will this method work with Software Number: 1.13.605.7 ? Are there any versions that this WON'T work with? I just want to clarify before I start.

Thanks!

i dont know about versions since im not using a TB anymore, if that was the last OTA it should work unless there was a new one im not aware of.

I think that is the latest OTA. When I try to manually check it says there are no updates available. Thanks for the quick response!

Page 8 there is a link that works it is the right file

but page 8 isnt the updated version, but i think you could use that then flash the update later on

First off, thank you for putting this together!
I'm completely new to the Android world, and that was the draw of your batch setup!
So if possible, I'd like to bang it out in one shot, rather than trying to use your older version, then do some flashing...
Any word on a mirror, your current host site, or possibility of uploading this file to the page 8 server- the "multiupload.com" site?
I'm excited to root this puppy!

Thanks!

I just rooted my TB with your autoroot MR1...thanks! I have two questions..

1. Now that I have rooted, does this mean I can no longer accept OTA updates without un-rooting?
2. I moved VZ Nav (like my other bloatware) to a separate TB Bloat folder on the SD card, but it still shows up in apps for some reason?

Thanks for this simple way to root!

Any word on a mirror for the root??

Ok, rooted last night with this awesome method (thanks) and installed a DASBremirom 1.6.3 remix and rom manager keeps giving error saying my device needs to be rooted which i find hilarious because i used rom manager to dl and install this rom, any suggestions aside from install another rom? Thanks

 

[babydollnyroch]

dasBAMF not DASBremiron, way to go autocorrect haha

So the rooting process seems to hang for me right when it gets to here:

" * Unplug the USB cable from your computer.
* Bootloader will be highlighted in blue - Press the power button to execute.
* The screen will change and Fastboot will be selected.Around 10sec later
* it will then proceed to the next step.
* You should see several files loaded and checked.Don't freak at the warnings.
* The screen will eventually clear and you will see "checking PG05img.zip."
* Eventually, you will be asked: Do you want to start update?
* Press the volume up button to say yes.
* Once you do, you will see a progress bar in the upper right corner
* and a bunch of stuff going on in the middle.Patient and let it do its thing.
* You will see it check for PG05img.zip again
* If screen goes dark at anypoint just swipe screen
* When prompted,Press power to reboot.
* Once Sense is booted up, unlock your screen to enter the setup wizard.
* Hit Next - Skip - Skip Setup - Next - Next - Next - Finish
* Then hit the menu capacitive button
* settings - applications - development - check USB debugging - then click Ok
* Plug the Thunderbolt into your computer.
* Swipe down on notification panel.
* Make sure its in "Charge Only" mode, if not select it and hit done
* If all above conditions are satisfied
Press any key to continue . . .
Continue root after downgrade,Are you sure? y or n y
* Testing if your device is connected
*
adb server is out of date. killing...
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error:
*
* You should see the serial number of your Android
* If you are NOT connected please follow these directions
* Turn On Debugging
* Check usb port, cable and phone
* Make sure the phone is set to charge only
Press any key to continue . . ."

I'm not sure where to go from this point.

Is this the MR1 version of autoroot, if it is ...Ctrl+Alt+del > task manager >processes > find any open adb processes and end them. then you can start the process over from downgrade

Hi, last night I rooted my thunderbolt using the quick root method and worked but then I loaded dasbamf 2.0 and the phone would hang forever on the splash screen I assume because I had not flashed the proper radio file yet, I did volume down plus power button and it automatically would jump into checking an image and then ask if I wanted to update or not so I said yes and phone is back to functional but now clockworkmod does not recognize it as being rooted anymore, what do I have to do to get it where I want with dasbamf 2.0, proper radios and root? Please help
.

Thanks!
