Root Please help! Issues rooting TB with revolutionary :(

Hey all,

I'm having issues rooting my TB using the revolutionary method

I did do the OTA update when it came out
However, I did downgrade back to previous version as I read could be the issue in other threads

Here's where I'm at now....

Mount phone as disk drive with USB debugging on

Run revolutionary. It asks yes or no for clockworkmod. I say yes

Everything goes smooth. I reboot into bootloader

This is where the issue comes in

Normally I press recovery and it takes me to clockworkmod where I can flash superuser

Instead I press recovery and it goes to a screen with the red triangle

I rooted my previous TB without the update just fine

This TB I did the update and now I can't root

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance!
 
I went through the same yesterday, and I was able to root after doing some research. In my case, and I suspect and in yours also is that the clockworkmod was not really being put on the SD card. I downloaded it to my pc, renamed it and put it on the sd card. Then hbooted and it updated it. Let me find the instructions, I did that at work and don't have the history.
 
Doesn't revolutionary put the clockworkmod recovery on your sd card for you?

How would I go about doing this manually?
 
1. download on of the clockworkmod recoveries from the link above
2. rename it to PG05IMG.zip
3. save it on the sd card
4. hboot and install it

I also had to clear all data and cache because my phone was looping
 
Sorry I'm a little confused here...

Earlier I renamed a zip file to that exact file name and loaded it to my sd card

This put my TB back to how it was before the OTA update

Am I downloading a different file but naming it the same?

That's probably a stupid question but I just wanna understand what I'm doing lol
