EDIT: Nevermind, googled it and I just had to shut down HTC Device manager on the PC.

when i say it wipes data i mean it wipes EVERYTHING on your phone because it has to overwrite the whole phone with the exception of the sdcard....i have never used amazon market but i imagine it saves the paid apps like android market, but on that end i would confer to someone else.....but in order to properly permenantly root the TB and be able to flash anything onto your phone you have to overwrite everything..yet another reason i got rid of the TB. PITA to root it

Amazon market does restore paid apps. You may have to reload the Amazon apk and sign in again, but once you do that you can restore your apps.

This is probably a dumb question but will I be able to flash ROMs if I root with this?

Yes. Be careful and read how to do it all before you start...or end up in painland.

I going to very carefully follow this guide: http://forum.androidcentral.com/thu...-backup-restore-install-roms-thunderbolt.html

Because from what I've seen, that guy is a genius.

I got to the part in auto root right after it put the first PG05IMG file on my SD card, then it said misc failed, pull battery and restart. So when I re-open the auto root program, do I start from the beginning or after downgrade?

Depends on whether or not if it downgraded the radio. It would say it under.. baseband version ..under ..about phone. You can start from the beginning though.. it wont hurt.. if anything it will just downgrade the radio all over again.

I'm still having the issue. It says misc.img downgrade checksum error
And it also just started saying: adb server is out of date. killing.... *daemon started successfully*
Also, I tried killing adb.exe in task manager and that didn't work.

I used a different method to root my phone so I'm not too familiar with this one but there's a video showing what needs to be done in the first post of the thread.
Or if you have the time.. I know its a lot of pages to go through.. DroidXcon already answered a lot of the troubleshooting questions in this thread.

Hey guys,

I have everything downloaded, phone in debug and charge only mode and I cant get the Auto Root program to recognize my TB! HTC Sync recognizes it, but the auto root program will not unfortunately - I'm getting frustrated! Any ideas? I've already tried rebooting both the phone and computer, changed usb ports and redownloaded the files. Ugh. Thanks

Run the adb command: adb devices -- and see if it recognizes your phone there

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

it takes about 3 seconds to check and goes straight back to the bootloader screen again. i then choose factory reset. it goes back to factory settings, skip all the crap about setting up the phone, go into disk mode and PG05IMG.ZIP is on the SD card. not in any folder. directly on the card.

i do the steps all over again from the start and when it goes to the bootloader, i choose fastboot and it checks the PG05IMG and tells me "sd checking... loading... PG05IMG.ZIP (NO IMAGE OR WRONG IMAGE!)"

and i keep going in a circle with that error and the factory resets. :-/

Did this ever get fixed?, Ive got the same problem

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

When it is pushing the first files it goes for about 5 minutes then just shuts off and it only pushes most of the PG05IMG as far as I can tell. Am I doing something wrong?

Err why does it say hboot checksum error everytime?

Bad connection or the file is missing from the folder.
