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

I just rooted then unrooted. I'll wait till it's redone with the update. My phone started rebooted the minute it came back up rooted.

That is because you have MR1 once rooted. That radio is known for random reboots. After you root it you should flash the leaked MR2 radio(or OTA MR2) with a compatible ROM. i would suggest Das BAMF 1.8.6 to start. Then go from there as far as what ROM u would rather have on your phone.

About to do this... Wish me luck (First Android phone). I'll report back if everything goes smoothly, or if I need some help.
EDIT: AHH I LOVE YOU! This worked awesome! No hiccups at all, didn't take too long, and everything works great! Gonna flash my first ROM soon, thanks again!

Will or does this work with build# 1.70.605.0 Baseband # 1.39.00.0627r?

Can anyone confirm it working on that?

Thanks

The command prompt should not be closing. Try a different USB port. Here is a good walk thru video:

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

So I know this is weak sauce for me to ask.But I have downloaded all the files to root my phone from this thread but I am untrusting of myself to do it.Anyone want to screen me and do it while I watch to get a better feel for it? This is my first smart phone and my first android obviously. I would hate to goof it up.:confused:

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

I just tried it again and got the same error. Is there someplace I can download just the downgrade file and not the whole auto root package and see if that fixes the error?:-\
 
Re: [Auto] Root and Unroot (Windows)**Updated**5/20** w/MR1 updat

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

Someone mentioned to me that I need to rename the PG05IMG_downgrade.zip to PG05IMG.zip. Is this correct? I dont see anywhere that is says I need to do that rooting this method.??

Yes... if I'm not mistaking.. they should be posted in the other root threads that are stickied.

Yes it will downgrade you to the MR1... and then you need to upgrade to the MR2 for root users.. links are in the sticky.. How to Backup, Restore & Install ROMs on the Thunderbolt.

Yes... edit the file and rename it to just pg05img.zip Delete the "_downgrade" part of it.
