You are right. It then took even longer for root that worked for everybody. The first was a race condition that was not totally understood IIRC, and some people could not get it to work due to their SD card speeds or a plethora of other reasons. Then unrEVOked came with 1 click. I think people here are being a bit hard on HTC. The fact that root was so quick to come is a sign they are not changing much. 1 click root is not so much a problem with HTC but with devs not having the time to have it ready the second the phone comes out. Most devs do have other, paying, obligations, you know.

The Thunderbolt root/unlock was NOT as fast as you think

The devs have had the RUU's and a leaked Tbolt for over a month now, and they have been working on it since then. They just happened to unlock it a day or so after it came out. Great timing right? HTC is making it harder to what we do, but MOTO is still king of the lock down.
