YouTube - ‪Auto Root For the HTC Thunderbolt on Mac OS X Very Simple!‬‏

Have any of you tried this rooting method for Mac OS X? I'm very unfamiliar with rooting but this looks simple, almost too simple. Any opinions would be appreciated. Tia

That looks like fryetech under a different name. His last autoroot for Mac worked.

Yea it's quite simple, You download the Stock Radio file from the OP in this thread,easy way to unroot! - Android Forums , Put it on your SD Card, go into HBoot and install, After it's done. Just update your phone to the latest update from Verizon and your good to go.

TitansJonne,

Which way did you use to return to stock?
The way with CWM? or without?

I guess this might be a n00b question, but is there anyway that I can do a complete backup (texts, settings,layout, etc. so that when I reroot after I update that my phone is completely the same?

Will using Cyper Warriors way through using CWM found at: http://forum.androidcentral.com/thu...-backup-restore-install-roms-thunderbolt.html work?

I guess my questions are: which way did you use to unroot and how did you do?
also is it possible to backup my current settings and etc. and restore them, WITHOUT using an Nandroid backup that would revert my phones radio to old settings? maybe my backup pro would help? I have titanium back up, but i dont know if that would help.


Thanks and sorry for all the questions. Bit of a n00b

Exactly what i said in my post. You don't need CWM. Put the file on your sd card. Boot into Hboot. Install. As far as back ups go, all you can do is make sure your data is saved with google. So once you log in, it will begin reloading your files.
