Thanks I will try it out when I get home. Trying to root a friends M I did my HTC M8 and used TWRP on it. Would you know of a good stock looking debloated ROM. Thanks

Would the same recovery I used for mine work for a Razr M or are they device specific?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using xda app-developers app
They are device specific. Is your friend's M unlocked?
Not yet just getting everything together program wise so I can do it all in one shot. Going to root it unlock the bootloader do a recovery and nandroid backup. Thanks for the help

Just a heads up, if he's on the latest build you won't be able to unlock his BL.
The build number says 9.8.1Q-94. If the bootloader can't be unlocked can the above still be done minus the bootloader part. Sorry if these are dumb still new to all this
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using xda app-developers app
You can't unlock on the last 2 updates, .94 being the latest. You won't be able to use a true custom recovery, but you can root with Safe Root. Then, you can use Safe Strap to make backups and load some ROMs.
Ok will have to look up the other program and do some more research. I really appreciate the information and guidance thanks again

My Thunderbolt received a full OTA update after I unrooted the phone and I was able to get the S-OFF via HTCdev site but I am unable to get root access or install custom recovery. Any idea how I could flash a custom recover to flash a rooted rom?

I noticed it after a while too. I guess the big UNLOCKED got me off track. Still root is needed
htcdev sucks. recovery cannot install kernels.
you need to either:
1)install your boot image with fastboot,
or
2)launch your recovery into memory with the fastboot boot command,then install your rom normally
i personally would try and downgrade back to an older build so you can root via revolutionary. older builds were downgradeable just by changing the main version,hopefully that hasnt changed.
since your unlocked and have a recovery:
-install this superuser to gain root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 (download link reads UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip)
-you can try changing the main version by flashing this zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23169557&postcount=4 (make sure to thank drellis and con)
-check that the zip worked with the fastboot command fastboot getvar mainver or fastboot getvar all
-if the zip works,relock and,try flashing an ruu that contains hboot 1.04
im out the door to work,but if you need help with the specifics,i can help you later. i believe that should work. if this thread gets moved,PM me a new link
A way to root has been found but the HTC dev method is the only way to unlock the new hboot atm. A way to downgrade is being looked into also. The current downgrade ruu doesn't work with the new hboot either. If you know how to modify the ruu so it can be used for downgrade that would be fantastic.

You cant modify the downgrade ruu.it needs to be stock,and signed. You just need to change the main version.
Try what I suggested above,I'm 99% sure it will work. I can put together some specific directions,but I can't really test since my tb is radio s off.

Are you allready htcdev unlocked?
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda app-developers app
Okay, I admit it, I am confused, despite having flash ROMs for over a year now. What exactly are the steps to get from point A, completely factory stock with the ICS upgrade, to point B, unlocked and rooted so that I can flash a rom? Or am I misunderstanding, and there is no such route at this point? I have the greatest respect for everyone on this site who takes the time to help people out. Thank you very much.

Awsome sauce! glad it worked for you guys. I can do a noob friendly set of directions in the next couple days,and if yall have seen a working temp root,link it to me and we can do a no htcdev unlock version as well.
For those that don't like manual methods,hopefully trter will add dowmgrade to his all in one tool.
Did yall go all the way back to hboot 1.04,or to 1.05?

Update to the official 4.1.2, use Matt's 1.20 utility to root, unlock, and flash a recovery.

Matts utility will do all the work for you. Just make sure you have a full battery charge.

Wish I could change the start up screen though. Then again I don't really restart my phone that often.

It is pretty unusual to lose root access suddenly. Just to be sure. Go on or play store and get root checker to see if u have or haven't got root access.
