Root Does Z4Root work on the Thunderbolt?

[kjjb0204]

Can't believe we've made it until after 5pm EST without the question coming up. Anyone load Z4 and root successfully?

I strongly recommend not trying it for now....It's a big risk and i doubt it'll work. The phone isn't easily rooted, and if it does, it's just temporary. Once you restart your phone, it'll erase it again...

I heard it works for temp but not perm

Yeah I kinda figured that would be the case...

No.

FYI:

I just tried it.... locked the phone up cold. Reboot and I will try again, but I am thinking DENIED.

Nope... kills it dead until reboot... acts like a huge memory leak and the phone is useless until you reboot.

This is the Temp root method, not going to bother with Perm.

So... no root for me to clean up all this bloatware..... YET.

several people in the andirc chat said no z4root does not work

While we didn't test it, we don't believe it works. Just hold your horses.

I can atest to the accuracy of this info. Perm root did the samething.

Trust me.. I am following your work on XDA. I was just overwhelmed by wanting to get rid of all the bloatware so I had a nice efficient machine.

Keep up the great work !

I sense irony on the horizon and the Bionic may actually be easier than the TB to root. That is just the way irony works things.

you may be right...

although they'll probably just change it on the bionic.
