So I've tried to root with this tool now twice and everything appears to go through but when im done rootchecker and titanium both say I don't have root. First time I thought maybi did something wrong and unrooted with the program successfully but on reroot, same issue. Is there a final step I need to complete after the program is finished? I installedbusybox too but it too says I'm not rooted.

I made it on a 64 bit PC so I'm not sure what's going on

But, you can always use the old-fashioned zipfile method haha
I am having the same compatability error. I even ran the compatability troubleshooter for all past windows versions and I have still received the same error. Any other solutions? Also, what exactly is the old-fashioned zipfile method?

Downloaded both from goo.im and from your dropbox mirror, but when I initially run the thunderbolttool.bat, it starts, goes to updating, and stays there. I see the thunderbolttool.bat file being created and deleted, and the title of the window shows Wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/ThunderboltTool.bat

When I go to that link, I see that your public links have been disabled due to excessive traffic. HAve you got an alternative distribution link?
