Man i dont know what kind of "suped" up radio you guys have me on but it is HOTT! Its the 704 one. I literally stay in the middle of nowhere and never tried watching HD youtube videos out here cuz its always choppy. But man o man. Its like my phone is on crack. And its only 3g, not 4g. Wow! Im using cm7 with some boldnblue theme. I do have a question about lte onoff though. When i go to the app now i have alot more options. Which one is 3g/4g?

scotty85 · Aug 22, 2011

CDMA+LTE/EvDo auto for 4g

an even easier option is to add the power control widget to one your home screenies. you can select,among many other things,a 3g/4g toggle for the widget.

i used to keep LTE on/off on a home screen till cm came up with the super spiffy modified power control widget

Yea, mines used to say that but now it dont. I got like 6 or 7 options now. Wcdma, cdma only, evdo only and some more.

CDMA+LTE/EvDo auto is there. In wireless and networks>mobile networks>network mode scroll up and it's right above "global"

Quick question. In the power control widget is mobile wifi hotspot the same thing as barnacle wifi tether?

Does the 704 radio have a name?

Yeahha · Aug 23, 2011

...the 704 radio

I'll find a link for you. You could also try the new leaked one from last week.

Link in OP here http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=1669 that will take you to themikmik for the download

Link in post 3 here http://androidforums.com/thunderbolt-all-things-root/399301-new-8-19-gb-ruu.html for the most recently leaked radio.

tythunder · Aug 23, 2011

It's working fine, I was just wondering if it had a name. What new one?

Yeahha · Aug 23, 2011

From the RUU leak on 8/19. It is being called either 803 or GB2.10 or something like that

Guys need some help. I ran the revolution tool and gained s off. While downloading cwm recovery, computer froze. My initial thought was, no biggy, just find a custom recovery image.zip and update through bootloader. I found team win recovery and placed the image on my sd card. Bootloader update says ok, but only option I get is to reboot. So I tried running the revolution tool again, and this time it downloaded clockwork successfully. Yet it doesn't give me an option toboot into recovery only reboot. What did I miss? Got superuser in sd card to finish the root process, but can't flash it. Any help is very much appreciated.

Yeahha · Aug 23, 2011

Sounds like you are okay. I would think you can reboot and remove the PG05IMG.zip off your sd and then go back into hboot and choose recovery, then you can flash the superuser zip.

sasquatch080 · Aug 23, 2011

So there shouldn't be an image.zip on my sd card for the bootloader to recognize the recovery from the revolution tool?

Yeahha · Aug 23, 2011

I am not sure with revolutionary tool I have not rooted with it. Generally is there is a PG05IMG.zip on the root of your SD and you boot into hboot it will not let you get in recovery, it will prompt you to either install the update or reboot. Because you flashed TWRP instead of CWM the tool may not work as described. If you delete the PG05IMG.zip you should be able to get into recovery manually by booting into hboot and choosing recovery.

sasquatch080 · Aug 23, 2011

Ok gonna try to move the PG05IMG.ZIP to another folder then update in bootloader see if that works. Will update tomorrow since o gotta get to work now. Good thing about this method is nothing is lost on the phone so its totally useful. I will update though.

Yeahha · Aug 23, 2011

Moving it to another folder should work fine. All you need to do from here is flash superuser and you should be set

sasquatch080 · Aug 24, 2011

Yeaha, that worked perfectly!!! Now rooted, enjoying wireless tether, and soon to flash a rom. Ps. Teamwin recovery is what I have. Thanks again.

Nice welcome to the real android world

I'd prefer to use the new
Revolutionary.io program however I am using
HBOOT version:1.70.605.0 on Thuderbolt and and it isn't available on drop down.
So do I have to use the manual method .
I have either Windows 7 OS or MAC Lion OS computer systems.

tythunder · Aug 30, 2011

Does anybody have a mirror for the latest cm7 dark horse theme. It won't let me download

tythunder · Aug 30, 2011

I think you are referring to the version number of your software, not the HBOOT version. You have to go into HBOOT to see the version number, either 1.4 or 1.5.

I hadn't found a reason to root my TBolt, but had a rooted Eris. So far I am liking this, I rooted using Revolutionary today and flashed the BAMF Rom (4.9).

The only thing I have found is it won't let me move stuff to my SD card, I have not tried to figure out why yet. The error is that there is no space, but there is over 22gb available.

Edit:

I had never used Rom Manager before today, I did it manually on my Eris. Is there a problem with using it?

WormDoes · Sep 3, 2011

I wouldn't recommend using ROM Manager. Just flash things manually in recovery and save yourself future headaches

i know youve got it working,but thot id answer this as a general FYI for future searchers.

no,there will not be any images or files on your sd from the revolutionary tool. when the tool doesnt freeze in the middle of the process,it downloads a recovery image and uses "FASTBOOT" to flash it. after clockwork is in place,it will set up folders for downloads and backups,but they are just plain file folders.

when it does freeze,just run the tool again. it will recognize that you are s-off,and ask if you want to install clockwork.

simply taking a recovery from the sticky thread and flashing that in hboot is perfectly acceptable as well.

if you have any issues with superuser granting permissions,or FCing,try this one instead:

thats actually the one ive used and had no prollems with it at all.
