Thunderbolt gets root and NAND access
While we have all been busy speculating when the HTC Thunderbolt will be launched (dare we say the 24th), the folks over at XDA have been busy achieving root access. Well, they did just that. What we have here is a pre-production Thunderbolt (Mecha) which has successfully been rooted, its internal memory successfully broken into, with Clockwork Recovery installed.
Keep in mind that because it's a pre-production unit, it's entirely possible that it's possible likely that there may be some changes, thus affecting the entire process. But it's a step in the right direction. Now, is it the 24th yet? One more picture after the break. Also be sure to check out the Andirc channel. [XDA via the Android Central Forums]
