HTC Thunderbolt Only 1 Penny at Amazon [Deals]

After the HTC Thunderbolt debuted at $250, we saw many discounts bringing it under the $200 mark users were comfortable with. We’ve even seen it below the $100 mark at once point in time. Nothing can beat today’s deal, though – Amazon’s offering the Thunderbolt up for only a penny.

It’s no Sensation or EVO 3D, but you’re still getting a great phone by HTC with access to arguably the fastest 4G network in America. And the single-core processor inside runs Sense (2.1) just fine, thank you very much. Amazon.com if you want in on it.

Another Thunderbolt Gingerbread Build Comes To Light 2.11.605.0 [Courtesy of XDA]

It seems like Gingerbread RUU’s are a dime a dozen for HTC’s Thunderbolt.  Just last week it appeared that an official Gingerbread build was closer than ever, however, if the 2.07.605.0 build was official, one would think we would have received it already or at the very least heard of it rolling out on a Thunderbolt near you.  As of now, we’re not sure exactly how many builds have hit the ground running for this device, but here’s another one for you anyway.  In RUU form, XDA member Football has released build 2.11.605.0.  Being an RUU (Radio Unit Upgrade) this means if you perform the upgrade using this build, your device will be completely wiped.  And as always, we caution you to do this at your own risk.  If you don’t know what you’re doing, get help from a more experienced nerd tech savvy, phone hacking guru.  After all that’s said and done, it’s obvious that at the very least, Gingerbread 2.3 landing on this device is still a pursuit, as developers are clearly still active with it.  And hopefully, in no time at all, we’ll see an official bug free build on the handset… soon.  Cross those fingers!

I don’t want to get too much excitement going, but with two official HTC Thunderbolt Gingerbread leaks out this week we must be getting close right?

Since this is a full RUU, it will unroot and wipe your phone should you choose to try it out.  Be sure to hit up the forums over at XDA if you need any help.

New Gingerbread Build Leaks for HTC Thunderbolt

Another build of the Gingerbread update for the HTC Thunderbolt has been making its rounds among the Android developer community. The latest Android 2.3 build goes by version number 2.10.605.1, a slight bump up from the intial build leaked earlier in the week. The necessary files and instructions are available over at XDA, but given the freshness of this leak you may want to wait until the community at large has a chance to dissect it a bit. Install-friendly ROMs will likely follow in short order.

HTC Thunderbolt ‘official’ Gingerbread build leaks

HTC Thunderbolt owners have been wondering where all the Gingerbread love is. HTC told us to expect it this quarter, but who wants to wait?
There have been numerous leaks, but the latest build 2.07.605.0 appears to be the official build. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee it will be the final build because if it did pass through all the testing, we would see it pushed by now.
If you would like to give it a try, chingy510 has posted an untouched and a rooted version. Just hit the source link to download and follow the instructions after the break, compliments of rootzwiki.
Instructiions:
For the Full Untouched RUU:
1. Download and rename to PG05IMG.zip
2. Place on the root of your SD card
3. Reboot into hboot (White turned off hold power + volume down)
4. When asked if you want to update hit volume up
For the Rooted Versions:
1. Download and copy to anywhere on your sdcard
2. Wipe the phone completely (Data, Cache and Dalvik)
3. Flash how you would with any other rom in recovery
Note: This has the same radio as the 2.xx.xxx.x post
