Sense 3.5 on thunderbolt

[honex97]

I've been looking around on a good tutorial on how to install sense 3.5 on my tbolt and all the YouTube videos are old from before the tbolt was updated to gingerbread. Is there an easy to follow tutorial on how to do it on gingerbread?

Are u rooted yet? If not I would check out on YouTube how to root the Thunderbolt with revolutionary and there is a great video. If you are rooted you should check out how to flash roms that is stickeyd in this section

I have not seen one... most will just load a ROM that has Sense 3.5 like [GB][2.11.605.3][Sense3.5]BAMF SoaB v1.03

No I'm not rooted I was a while ago but unrooted because I didn't do anything that required root so but after playing with my friends rezound I would like the new sense

If you want a different version of sense, you need a different rom. For that, you'll need to have the bootloader unlocked and a custom recovery installed. Generally, people include this as "rooted."

Then you'll need to find a custom rom that has 3.5 in it. You can't just "install" a new version of sense without a rom update - at least realistically.

BAMF SoaB is an AMAZING ROM. I ran it for a little while. Currently I am running Infected Eternity ROM which is a Sense 3.5 OS.

I am thinking of trying SoaB again.

Just to add to this...

You can't just install "Sense x.x" or whatever onto your OS like an app. Sense is highly integrated into the Android OS for the device itself.

The current official OS version of Gingerbread for the TBolt runs Sense 2.1 (I think). If you want Sense 3.5, your options are to convince HTC/Verizon to release a Sense 3.5 version of GB for the Thunderbolt (good luck), OR install a custom ROM that has Sense 3.5 builtin (which would require root).

This is one instance where you should probably start a new thread (or at least search through the ones here to see if your issue is similar to others)...

To help you, we would need additional info, such as:
What is your current OS version?
What method(s) are you trying to use to root?
What specific problems are you running into?

Check the stickies on this sub-forum. The Revolutionary method is the current root method, however if you have the latest OS version, you'll have to downgrade first.

Sorry if im bringing up an old thread or anything but can someone tell me the requirements besides rooting to run sense 3.5? I.e. flash radios or anything in that region

Should be nothing at all... if you've been running any Gingerbread ROM that is... because you of course would need a Gingerbread Radio.... I'm hoping you are not coming from a Froyo ROM.

I was rooted before i found i was running froyo. I unrooted 30 minutes later because i found out i couldnt do anything without flashing every single thing. that was a few months ago using the revolutionary s-off method. i have the latest update as of now which is droid version 2.3.4 and sense 2.1. i just want to make sure there was nothing to it besides downloading and installing the sense 3.5 rom.

Are you rooted right now? If so then all you need to do is download the rom and flash it after backing up your apps/data.

No not rooted im going to in a few hours though. Thanks all for all the help. Can you tell me if the bamf sense 3.5 is a stable rom?

 

[scottstatn]

I have used both BAMF Soab and the Infected Eternity Roms both I which are Sense 3.5 based. I prefer Eternity myself. There is Mikrunny that is Sense 3.5 to but I am waiting till they get v1. 03 up before I give it a try. Also don't forget if you are fully up to date with the over the air updates (605. 9) then you will have to flash the 605.5 RUU first for Revolutionary to work.

yeah. i read up on it last night right when i was going to start the root. should i wait for a new root method to come out or flash the 605.5? ive never flashed anything so i do not want to do something if i do not fully understand it. im sure theres a sticki or something on google. thanks for all the help though

I know what you mean some of this stuff can seem daunting but it is easy. Just follow the guide below:

Use the methods for rooting and installing roms in the stickies in this forum.

Either of the 3.5 roms should be fine.
