Those of you who like to have a little more control over your Android phones will hopefully be happy to learn that the HTC Thunderbolt has been rooted. Even though it only took about a day to root the HTC Thunderbolt, developers certainly had their work cut out. HTC made things a bit more difficult this time around by signing the Thunderbolt’s images, kernel, and recovery.
Rooting the HTC Thunderbolt is currently a nine step process. The process appears to be pretty simple, but if you’re looking for something a little tamer, we’re pretty sure multiple root methods will be showing up over the next few weeks.
