Greetings, to get into ClockworkMod Recovery (assuming you flashed it!). Go into the bootloader mode (volume up + powerbutton, I demonstrate in the video), and choose the middle icon, that looks like an Android with an open box. select it with the power button. That should take you into a "CWM-based Recovery" by DJ Steve. if you are not showing that, you still have the Toshiba Stock Recovery (it will have fewer options)

There is no way to officially downgrade the 3.2 official update, but you CAN root the latest 3.2 update. Visit Thriveforums, the devs there HAVE found an exploit to put fastboot back on, and to root your Thrive.

how i can get a firmware downgrade ???

my toshiva thive comes with a preinstalled 3.2 (not updated, from factory), is posible to get a downgrade from 3.2 to 3.1 for rooting & flasing the device ???

@jesus0zero0 Hello, there is a method @ Thriveforums and Tabletroms in order to hack the latest update. Your update does not have the "fastboot" available. The hack puts fastboot back on it, then you can root and flash ROMs to your hearts desire.

If you have been updated to the latest version using the Service Update, YOU CANNOT ROOT. If your Android Version is 3.2.1 and you've updated using Toshiba's update service, you cannot roll back. I am sorry, but Toshiba's updates canceled out our Fastboot access which allowed us root in the first place.

Must the ADP and Fastboot drivers be installed on CPU prior to executing this Root process?  If so, please advise from where/how to install those two drivers....thanks!

[hengineer]

@mbsjones43 Yes! please visit the links above, those Forum threads can help!

I Root My thrive but I cannot install clockworkmod recovery i really don't know what do ?please help

[Crazygarycrib]

can you shed some light on this I dotn see clockwork in this mod, is it not included in the files, or is it in the rom manager, I succefully installed the root on My Toshiba Thrive, but noticed the clockwork mod wasnt included so it must be run seperatly from the rom manager.

GOOD VIDEO, I MANAGED TO ROOT MY THIRVE AFTER I GOT A LOCK, IT WENT SMOOTH, NOW ALL I NEED TO DO IS GET INTO CLOCKWORK MOD, IT SHOWS NO ICONS ON SCREEN FOR THIS
