[Tool] Root 2.11.605.9 and .19, no downgrade or data wipe!

[trter10-imore]

I'm struggling big time. I used your tool to root about a month ago. Received the OTA but denied it as I'm worried will brick phone. I downloaded 2.11.605.19 and put on sdcard. In Hboot, it asks me to download update and it appears to unzip and download but I'm still at 2.11.605.9. Can I flash this software right from hboot or do I need to flash from CWMod from sdcard. Very confused

Do you really want the update? It's hardly anything.

If not just flash thie disable zip through CWM and it will block the ota

will ota unroot phone? If it does, can I re-root it with your tool?

 

[trter10-imore]

You can't take the ota with a custom recovery

ok - Thanks. But getting back to original question - I see PG05IMG.zip on root of sdcard. How do I flash it if it doesn't seem to take from hboot.

 

[trter10-imore]

It should work... Make sure It's not .zip.zip

I used your tool a few weeks ago. It was my first time rooting and was a very easy process. I have done nothing else to my TB other than root with your tool. What would happen if the OTA gets installed on my phone?

 

[trter10-imore]

Probably a bootloop, use the zip I posted a few posts ago

I've never done this before. Do I use "Reboot Into Recovery" via ROM Manager?

 

[trter10-imore]

Yep

Thanks! That was easy.

Hey guys, I'm getting a Revolutionary.exe error and it closes when it tries to download the CWM software. It asks me if I want to DL it, I say yes, it dies.

Please, help.

**** UPDATE ..... I had to manually install CWM following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179386

After I did that, selected Recovery (followed instructions) it seemed to install.

Here's the fun way to do the above!:

need fre3vo, su, Superuser.apk
install drivers, put phone in usb debugging.

1. get fre3vo

adb push fre3vo /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/fre3vo
adb shell /data/local/fre3vo -debug -start F0000000 -end FFFFFFFF

2. run revolutionary get s-off (revolutionary.io) (choose Y to flash recovery)

3. boot into recovery with phone plugged in

4. in recovery do this:

adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/app/DmClient.apk    (omit this line if you want to keep getting OTAs)
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
adb shell rm /system/xbin/su
adb shell ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb reboot

Added video walkthrough to OP!

I figured out that I was just flashing radios from RUU not whole OTA. Phone is working fine including 4g connectivity but on an interesting note - under Wireless Networks it says Mobile Network Connected but the box is unchecked/unhighlighted and under Quick Settings, it says Mobile Network Off. What causes this? Thanks.

WORKING for thunderbolt 2.11.605.19 !!!
thank you and good luck on future endeavors!!!!

Thanks so much for posting detailed instructions. Everything went great for me.

My only suggestion is that you edit the text instructions.

Step 10 is somewhat incomplete and I had to review the video tutorial to find out what to do.

After "-Restarting adb..." you may want to add the following:

Do you want to block OTA Updates? [Y/N]

Enter Y. It keeps you from getting bootlooped.​

Otherwise, totally awesome!
