[Q] "1-Click" Rooting of Thunderbolt

[dmw_4814]

I am wanting to root my Thunderbolt strictly for the purpose of changing my system fonts and possibly removing Verizon's bloatware/crapware - is there a "1-Click" method of rooting my Thunderbolt available that would do that AND leave my phone as close to "stock" as possible? By "stock", I mean with all the same (or, most of the same) HTC Sense applications, wallpapers and skins that it has now? I particularly am fond of the HTC dialer, the HTC e-mail app and some of the included HTC skins.

I am a tractor-trailer driver and am leaving tomorrow morning. I probably will not be back until Friday and would like to do this tonight, if possible. I am new to rooting and don't know much about doing it yet, but I will learn all I can about it as soon as is possible. I would, as I said, like to root this thing tonight, if I can - I want to get those fonts changed!

Thanks,

Dennis

I do not believe that there is a working 1-click root method for the Thunderbolt. But the tutorial on the development section of the forum and a youtube video by nat3mil on youtube are two great resources, you will need to spend about 15 minutes reading and watching, and the process takes about the same amount of time. It is really much easier then it looks.

IMO the easiest way to root is using the Auto Root posted on AndroidCentral in the forums. I don't know it would be appropriate to post a link to another forum but if you want an easy easy way to root I'd suggest trying that out. It's easier than any other root method I've seen so far.

yup that's the method i used and while lengthy it does the trick.

I also used the auto root and it worked for me.

the android central one root method will leave you essentially at stock mr1 plus root, su, and maybe one or two other things. you will retain all stock htc apps, skins, widgets, etc.
