I was seriously curious about this. It would seem that the Revolutionary method is using a different exploit than our previous root method, so I figured it may be possible that it would still work after the GB update.

Granted, I'm already rooted...but it's good to know that if the cr@p hits the fan or if I have to get a replacement device, (etc), after the GB update comes out, I can still get back to rooted goodness!

Please forgive my lack of knowledge, but is attaining s-off all that is required for one to be able to flash an older RUU? And then will this Revolutionary tool put back s-on if desired?

Is this true has anyone given this a shot yet?

Over on MikMik land, there was instructions on how to install the RUU untouched and give it root - and preserving hboot from future RUUs mucking the bootloader as well.

Permission was given to share as I saw fit...


1) Wipe data, cache, and dalvik
2) Download Thunderbolt_Patched_hboot.zip from XDA by Shadowmite.
3) Open Thunderbolt_Patched_hboot.zip, you should see PG05IMG.zip inside. Take PG05IMG.zip and place it in the root of your microSD card. Reboot into Hboot. (Hboot should say UNLOCKED--highlighted in pink).
4) It should detect PG05IMG.zip. Just install it. Then delete PG05IMG.zip
5) Install full RUU (will lose root and clockworkmod). Then delete PG05IMG.zip
6) Download clockworkmod (CWR4.0.1.5)PG05IMG.zip) from XDA.
7) Rename the clockworkmod download to PG05IMG.zip. Place on root of your microSD card.
8) Reboot into HBoot, it should detect PG05IMG.zip, install it, then delete PG05IMG.zip. Now you have Clockworkmod.
9) Lastly, install Superuser (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip) by downloading it from here. Install Superuser from Clockworkmod. Reboot.

You now have ROOT ACCESS (SUPERUSER), CLOCKWORKMOD, AND WORKING WI-FI.

Is there a way to unroot to return to stock ui for warranty work?

Every root method has an unroot method... so go back to the Auto Root thread or the ADB Root thread and look for the unroot method.

 

[recDNA]

I thought this thread WAS a NEW method so would require a NEW unroot method?

I also would like to know how to undo the Revolutionary patch.

I rooted via Revolutionary. Does this mean if I install the latest Gingerbread RUU (2.10.605.1) then I can reroot with Revolutionary? Has anybody already tried this?

 

[anthony2558]

Yes u will loose root privilege. Yeah u can reroot with it but I would do some more research do to the fact there seems to be some unresolved problems with unrooting after using revolutionary.

Thanks! Whew, I really wouldn't want to root in a way that won't easily let.me.unroot.

 

[nugiene]

waitaminute, so if I rootz using revolutionary, then update with the ruu I will loose root? I thought that revolutionary patched hboot so it wouldn't update?

 

[anthony2558]

When i used revolutionay I can say that I gained s-off and root. When I flashed a new ROM via ROM manager I lost root but still had s-off. I had to reboot in recovery and install the s.u file from sd card to regain root access. I have only flashed one ROM so I can't say 100% that this will happen all the time.
