It's no secret that there's an update coming to the HTC Thunderbolt that should start tonight - but no one likes to wait, so - thanks to TeamAndIRC - we've got you covered with an exclusive download.

Instructions:

  1. Download the file below, and re-name it to (without quotes) "PG05IMG.zip"
  2. Place PG05IMG.zip on the root directory of your SD card
  3. Turn off your Thunderbolt
  4. Holding Volume Down and then Power simultaneously, wait until the phone boots into the bootloader - it should begin flashing the update immediately.
  5. Wait, up to several minutes, for your device to reboot.

It's worth noting that it is not recommended that rooted users flash this update, as it will break root. However, if you just can't live without it - our existing root method should still work.

Grab it, flash it, and enjoy.
