Help with root

[vols fan]

Guys I have a Charge that is rooted. My wife has a t-bolt that I've been thinking if rooting. Both methods to root this phone seem much more complicated that rooting my Charge. Can somebody point me in the right direction to root this thing? Thanks.

Go with Revolutionary if your looking for root ease. Her thunderbolt will be rooted in minutes.

Personally I prefer the ADB method... but there is http://forums.androidcentral.com/thunderbolt-rooting-roms-hacks/77617-auto-root-unroot-windows-updated-5-20-w-mr1-update.html

Yeah, but he said he was looking for the least complicated method. I'm pretty sure my cat could root a phone with Revolutionary. Lol

Ya... and yet you can't provide the person a link to "Revolutionary"!!! There is not sticky thread here on AC... and I'm sure they can maybe find it... but wouldn't it be nice to include a link to something that would help them??? Or is your Cat the only one that knows the link to that process???

I actually did find the Revolutionary page. I downloaded the stuff it said to and all I got was a bunch of crap on my computer i.e. a new search engine called Babylon that I can't get rid of. Maybe the process is easy but the acutal site sucks!!! I'm going to try the auto root process that you linked above, Thanks.

Trust me... the auto root method is less hassle for you... and it is very easy.. just follow the directions carefully and you will be rooted in about 30mins good luck and post any issues

I'm on my phone. If I was at my computer I would have provided a link. I'm sure the man is smart enough to Google Revolutionary root or as such. That's how I found it.

I guess you did not read post #6 where the OP had issues with your great rooting recommendation, but I see that has happened to other people as well.

I'm thinking you were at the wrong site. I've never heard of that before. The link to the real site is in the post two above this one.

More people have had no problems with Revolutionary than have. You know you're just starting to sound like a hater now right?

I have to back this up, I did it and had no extra spamware or toolbars or anything.

Here is where I got it from.

I was about to say, where are you going with this? haha.

Just waiting to see if the OP has any questions on the Auto root process... since this other method did not work for them.

I could not get aut root to work for some reason. I tried it about 25 times (seriously). Then I followed the video and used Revolutionary and the whole process took maybe 10 minutes and you don't lose your apps or data. Revolutionary is a win!

That is the exact site I was using. I haven't tried the auto root yet cause my wife can't get it away from her ear long enough.

I don't understand the problem then because it worked perfectly for me. I guess you'll just have to do what fatboy recommended.
