i have to go to work but hopefully when i get home someone has some advice to help me! my phone wont go past the first screen on boot no matter what i do even if itry to go to a back up.. i had bamf 1.6.3 installed and i woke up this moring to the data not working again like it always happens this phone sucks.. so i went to reboot to fix it and then it just stayed in a boot loop so i went inot hboot and did a back up and it still did the same thing.. i was emailing my gf fine all nigth and stuff then woke up and data was not working nothing would load so rebooted and boot loops non stop! i have no idea why i went back the the 4th radio on adrynalins thread to see if that would help with signal last night and flashed the rom and everything worked great until this morning..
Sounds like a radio issue to me, but I'll defer to the smarter folks.
Do you have a backed-up ROM from when your phone was working that you can revert to in the meantime?
I was going to help you till you said this phone sucks. Don't blame the phone for verizons mistakes.
Oh and I have no idea what you did to get the phone to not boot past the initial screen your best bet would be to get the rooted ruu load that up and go from there. If it still doesn't boot then you have a problem.

If you can still get into recovery from hboot and you have a rom zip still on your SD card, I would do a reset, flash rom, clear cache and dalvik, then boot to see if it fixes it. If it's still looping it might be a bad flash of the radio...

So the phone doesn't even turn on now? Are you sure the battery isn't dead?
As long as you can get the phone to turn on and get it into HBOOT then you should be able to fix it. And I doubt the phone not working is because it "sucks." You ****ed it up somehow.
yea doesnt turn on at all.. i got into hboot tried loading different roms and back ups and nothing would take just looped and quit being ass hurt about the sucks comment its not like you made the phone geez.. i dont know what happened i just rebooted the phone in the morn and it looped it took me by surprise..
would a bad sim card cause the data to just stop until a reboot? cause it would happen no matter what rom or battery or kernel i tried...

Seems to me you got some excellent advice from previous posts. You got/had a radio issue. You should have been using a newer radio....like the first or second one down from Adrynalyne's Thread. You flashed the stock radio onto your phone which is probably why the issues started especially after a reboot when everything was allowed to refresh.

There it is since the previous version requires it most likely does the newest!!
I believe from past experience, that is you pull the SD card, and put it in a computer, load the rooted ruu, then hboot and the phone will wipe and install a clean Rom, you may do the factory reset in hboot also

thank you for actually taking time to give some advice i hit the button.. i was just tryin diff radios cause the signal and data problem so i guess it was the radio that did it.. thank you
Can you get into hboot?? Not recovery. If so.. Download jcase's rooted RUU/Rename it/drop it on the SD Card/boot into hboot and let it go. If hboot can't bring you back from the land of the loops, I don't know what will.

Use the second radio down from that thread...it seems to be the favorite overall.

So I flashed one of those no sound AOSP roms, I instantly nandroided back to my Synergy #318. When I did it told me "System not responding" "Force Close" I figured bad nandroid. Super wipe and reflashed 318, I went through set up and then I get no 3G no Phone, here is a screeny of my about phone.
Do I reflash the radio???
EDIT...re-flashed radio and still get the same sh#t
I have a backup of my WiMax in clockwork form, flashed over to clockwork recovery, creating a backup to replace current WiMax with the one I have saved (Original).
EDIT...That broke the MD5 and would not allow a restore of WiMax
Trying a RUU now
Looks like the RUU made me a shiny new BRICK!!!
Bootloader is stuck here, its been like this for over 8 minutes.
WTF is really going on here
I followed this return to stock thread HERE
Well after 15 minutes I said F it and pulled the battery. Apparently it didnt do anything as far as the RUU goes because it booted back into my ROM. It stills says "Process System is not responding" Force Close or Wait.
I flashed synergy once and I had the Samething your showing... Everyother ROM I flashed all the info would show up. Sometimes on synergy it was just blank. So are you able to flash any roms?

Yes, it happens with all roms though. It never gives me signal, phone signal or 3G/1X signal. It says looking for service, but service never comes.
I installed aosp again, it offers better info in about phone. this is what I see, not looking good for the home team
In the aosp rom I flashed I found a update-binary, I will upload below. This is what F'ed me up! Can someone tell me how to open this, so I can correct what is wrong and re-flash? I ran aosp through rom kitchen and mustve hit convert to update-binary. Now I am F'ed!
I know you can't connect to data but Can you connect to wifi? Are you on 2.3.3 or 2.3.4? Hausx (sure I didn't spell it right) posted in CDMA the individual components..... Try flashing each one and see if that helps and maybe try going to 2.3.4 if not there. I'd stay away from hboot 1.5 or you will have to do htcs method to unlock which I'm thinking should definitely work.

I can connect to WiFi, I also tried the radio already. I also tried 2.3.4 and 2.3.3 this sucks ares!
EDIT...I found the thread, gonna try flashing them now! What about the factory reset within the rom, using dialer ##778# I think? Would that maybe help, get the hands free activation going maybe? Thing is if you look at that picture it is not even reading PRL
New radio/PRI did not help, what could keep phone from reading this info off of it? I just did a reset from within rom, that didnt help either.
OPST does not read my phone anymore either
OK, I tried RUU again and it went through! I had 2 things labeled TP and it bypassed the first one, and updated the second. I am rebooting now so we will see if I get signal back. If not at least I am at stock for warranty!
And NO GO! Same Process System is Not Responding! If I wait the phone reboots. What the hell can be happening here?
Now I did a factory reset and the phone boots, then re-boots during the set up process.
Sort of sounding like you may need to give Sprint a call and see if they can have you manually re program it over the phone or something. I'm not sure how you'd go about un-doing whatever it is that you updated that caused this. It sounds like something you'd need to mess with using EPST ## codes.
Did you just try the radio and PRI and not the full RUU? if the forced factory data reset through ## doesn't work and the radio didn't..... I'm wondering if trying to root it via htc website wouldn't fix it. Very wierd situation you have here

flashed WARM-3.5-evo3d-unofficial-r100.zip
from sdcard.
had down a factory wipe initially.. tried clearing dalvik cache again but still cannot get past htc screen. ugh
correction i flashed to r119.zip
Did you wipe system as well? How long are you giving it at the HTC Splash screen before you decide it's frozen? I haven't been keeping up to date with the Warm train lately, so I'm not sure if there have been any issues with the builds. I know back in the day, sometimes the build bot that myn used would bork a build from time to time and it wouldn't flash. Have you tried flashing any other builds, or just r119?
yes i did a complete wipe initially.. flashed.. got stuck at screen.. i left it there for 2-3 mins with no response.. just hovering at the HTC screen. I have not tried flashing any other roms as I wasnt sure what if any adverse affect this may have on the current problem

Before you go any further in trying to figure it out, I would let it sit at the HTC screen a bit longer than a couple minutes. I've had it hang there for 5 or 6 minutes on certain sense roms that I flash, especially on the first boot. Give it a solid 7 minutes or so, and if it's still hanging there..then yea it's stuck. After that, I would simply try flashing something else and see if it works. Perhaps you got a bad download as well, maybe try re downloading it.
suggestions on how to move rom to sdcard if phone isnt booting hence PC isnt seeing the drive?
is it possible to go back to stock rom if this doesnt work?

Transfer it to the SD card from recovery. I'm not sure what recovery you're on, but every recovery has the feature to mount the sd card from within recovery. It's like USB MS Toggle or something to that nature. In TWRP 2, I think it's under the 'mount' tab.
Did you just try turning it on again yet, and seeing if it will eventually get past the HTC Screen? Again, it could take a bit more than 2 or 3 minutes on the first boot.
EDIT: And yea, you should be able to get back to a stock ROM no problem, or at least get back to a functioning phone, lol. Did you make a nandroid of your stock setup right after you rooted, before you tried flashing warm?
no i didnt make a nandroid backup sadly. im letting it sit for 10 mins before i give up on tyhis version
I don't think that ROM will boot as I'm pretty sure it has no boot image in it. Joelz was doing some stuff on the later builds and removed the bootimage.
Go into the thread and look for Vin's post. He is on the front page or on post 2. He has been the one updating the ROM for Joelz. the last version I knew of was around 01/12 or so?

Ok, now you may have to call them ask to have your data reset. There is a specific thing to ask for. It's in the threads on how to root the Evo 3D.
I could really use some help here guys. Last night I flashed a new ROM - ThunderShed-v1.6_CM7.2-tbolt using Rom Manager/ClockworkMod (had been using CM7.1 without issue). I also updated the kernal to imoseyon_leanKernel_v6.2.1AOSP (didn't change ANY kernal settings) after reboot and install gapps. Everything seemed fine, however after powering off and back on again. I am now stuck in a boot loop. HTC screen phone vibrates, black screen, then HTC screen. I then attempted to boot into HBoot screen which I was able to do. Clicked on recovery and attempted to get into clockwork mod and restore the backup I'd created. Phone just reboots don't get to recovery and continuous HTC Screen black HTC Screen. This isn't my first rodeo with flashing roms (no expert by any stretch, but I'm pretty familiar with the process). Somehow I've screwed something up badly. I did attempt factory reset. I've also tried to downgrade to an older RUU although the RUU is loaded in HBOOT and seems to install (other than Bootloader is bypassed, due I believe because of Revolutionary ERROR - Can not roll back hboot version). Everything else Boot, recovery, system, splash1, userdata, etc all appear to update and show oK. After rebooting I'm back in the boot loop. I've tried installing stock roms rooted and unrooted without resolving the problem. ADB doesn't help either just never returns the device serial number. Loopfix just sits there waiting for device.
I'm am S-OFF (via Revolutionary)

There is no PG05IMG.zip file on my SD card. (apparently can cause boot looping)
I googled to my hearts content, browsed every forum and blog I could to find a solution. Found similar issues but was not able to use any of the know fixes out there. Part of the problem is ADB doesn't see my phone. I've looked at 'loop fix' and 'thunderbolt all in one tool' these don't work for me. Any suggestions would be welcome. I'd prefer not to have to throw money at the problem to fix it.
I know I screwed the pooch on this one, maybe someone has the skills to help me unscrew it.
Thanks much in advance!

What happens when you connect the phone via USB? Does the computer detect it? You could try flashing cwm through hboot

Windows 7 does signal that it sees a USB device but it shows unknown device. I've tried the HTC Drivers and the android USB drivers from google. Nothing doing.

Thank you for your suggestions!

I have the same problem.
I have a brand new(refurbished) thunderbolt. I recently installed
*07-25-2012* JELLYBLUR *V1.3* CM7.2 - SPJESTER Production
I completely wiped and cleared the device. All was running fine, until I unplugged it from the charger then poof, boot loop. I can also access hboot but nothing seems to work. I have flashed a few roms, but I'm out of my depth here.
I will try putting and image on the sd card, since it does try to flash a radio when it boots.
Either of you tried an RUU. Download 605.9 or 605.19, change it PG05IMG.zip and flash it through hboot, see if it goes through.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
I have successfully flashed both recovery, and the latest mr4 radio from hboot.
Without the sd card, I was able to get it booted once after each flash. Unplugging it forced it right back into boot loop(whether card was in or not).
The only options that work are hboot, and fast boot. Neither connects to adb, or the all in one tool.
Can I flash a regular rom from hboot? I have previous version of thundershed, and various stock roms on the SD card?

I've tried RUU both .9 and .19 both seem to flash fine. But after reboot same boot loop. After trying a few more times flashing various RUU I flashed .19 again. After rebooting the phone I was able to get into the phone, everything setup fine, google account, wireless, etc. But after rebooting again. Back in same boot loop. I've also tried using 2 different SD card to rule out a bad SD. Unfortunately same thing. Starting to think this is hardware not a bad rom or firmware.
Rem
Ok I tried a factory wipe, no go either....
Tried installing regular rom renamed as "pg....." that didn't work.
So I've been told as long as you have hboot you can fix anything...Not sure whats next? At this point I'd be happy to start over.
Okay, I'm gonna try and see if I can get a dev to check out this thread for you guys. Because I am not sure what to tell you to do next at this point. Its exceeded my knowledge.

ok, I am not exactly sure what happened...I left my phone with no sim, no memory card and no battery alone for about 7 hours.
I came home with the intent to flash twrp from fastboot usb. I plugged it into usb port, put memory card and battery in. The phone on its own turned on, and voila it was in Clockwork.
Note the SIM card was not in the phone. I accidentally left it in the other tbolt I am replacing.
I factory wiped, cleared cache, and then installed thundershed from zip on SD. It has booted twice and seems to be running as it should be.
I put the sim card in and now its boot looping again. Removing the sim it boots and runs fine. The sim works fine on another thunderbolt, so I must assume the sim is fine.
I compared phones both were running the same rom and same radios. Kernels were different so I flashed imoseyon kernel to match the working phone. No go still boot looping.
Assurion sent me a "new" retail sim. Verizon told me to use my old one in the new phone. However the "new" phone will boot loop continuosly with old sim card. I have verified that the rom, radios, etc are all the same.
The mystery deepens...

Attempted the above on my device but no luck. Just same reboot loop. Just FYI. Thanks for the tip.

Even the different sim, eventually led to the same issue. I finally just convinced assurian that my replacement phone is defective (which is may be).
The only thing I can think of is that the jelly rom, combined with the all in one root tool somehow made a bad situation or the phone is simply defective.
Now my task is to see if I can flash something to make this stock...lol...I really don't want to send back a phone to assurion with clockwork and revolution on it if I can help it.
I suspect its going to be tricky as ADB doesn't work..
Here is where I stand.
1. Flashed a stock room, through hboot
2. Flashed a stock hboot through hboot. (this didn't work, revolution is locked)
3. I rebooted back to hboot.
4. removed sim card, and sd car.
5. Then I selected "Recovery" it went into standard recovery i let it sit for a bit, then it rebooted on its own back to stock, unactivated state.
I used the files from this thread
After this is seems to function perfectly normal, except I still have a revolutionary boot loader, and soff.
I let the phone reboot, and once it loaded I was able to get adb to work perfectly fine. I then returned to the above guide and fixed the boot loader, and s-off as directed. Its now completely stock. I mean it might be a version or so from whats current but a simple ota update would take care of it.
Its all brand new...Of course, I am still going to return it to asurian as I have no idea if it had a hardware issue, or what it was.

Tonyagee that's for the step by step. Tried on my Tbolt. Still boot looping. I appreciate you documenting what you did THANK YOU!
Your welcome...I definitely was on the edge of my skill set for sure....
So my thunderbolt is is in the same boat. The main cause for the boot looping seems to come from unplugging the usb from charging.
Mine will randomly stop the infinite boot looping and boot up. Sometimes it's quick. Sometimes it will take hours.
Most of the time when I manage to get it to run it is very difficult to get back into a custom recovery. It has to reboot the phone to get into recovery which most of the time just puts it into the infinite boot loop again.
If I plug mine into a computer it will charge but will not recognize the phone.
I've tried every fix known to man. No luck. I've come to deal with it as I've had this problem for two or three months now.

Mine has done the same thing. I read that one of the failsafe ways to boot up clock work mod recovery is that it will automatically boot up after a battery pull and turn the phone back on with it plugged in.
If I plug the phone in while it is completely shut down it automatically powers it on and 9 times out of 10 it randomly reboots but sometimes it will boot up into recovery.

I think I killed my 4g. I don't know how it is just gone. I have had my phone rooted since I got the thing as soon as it came out. I have been on the Viper ROM for the majority of that time now. The other night I was here reading the forums. It was something about wallpapers that I had to flash. I downloaded and flashed. The flash failed, and my phone never booted up. I was unlocked and had S-OFF as well. It would just get stuck on the HTC screen. I first did a factory reset and wipe of it all. Nothing resolved, but I did have TWRP, so I could still get into that each time after. Since I did have that, I was able to sideload Viper again, but I never got 4g. Well, I finally have relocked my phone, RUU'ed it back to stock, and I still don't get 4g. And I know it shouldn't be a sim card issue, as the same one works in my Nexus, still in love with it, with 4g. Does anyone have any ideas of how Icould possibly get 4g back. I need it!!!

When I did use RUU, did it not flash a radio that should have bought 4g back. I am going to be doing that as my next step, but I thought my radios would be fine by now. I hope that helps me.

I got back into 4g from the hidden programming menu. Had to switch to lte only and get great 4g... When I switch to anything but, it always reverts back to 3g. Have done factory resets from pure stock. Flashed a new Rom, radios, done what I can think to do. I'm baffled. Anymore ideas?
Thanks
Well let me explain my predicament. The other day I flash somex's something explosive rom after a wipe of the everything I need to wipe ( Data,Cache,Davlik) When it was finished flashing I got to rebooting. I ended up with a blank, yet illuminated screen ( if that makes sense) I waited about 20 minutes. After coming to the conclusion that the ROM doesn't work I did another wupe of everything needed. Then i flashed JoseGalre's ROM since it has aroma it told me that it had an error and coundln't finsih the instalation. I wiped again and reflashed, same error. I wanted to see what would happen if it let it boot up w/o recovery and it ended up in a boot loop. I tried to go back to 4ext and it seemed to load up just fine but half way through the startup it ends up back in the bootloop. I ran Hasoon's all in one kit and flashed TWRP and it worked just fine until I flash a rom. It seemed to be working just fine then it suddenly crashes and we're back in the loop. I've been trying to fix for the last few days but to no avail. I marked the title as urgent because my parents are going out of town for the weekend and I really need a phone. They havn't a clue that it doesn't work becausse they get home before me. Any help would be appreciated a great deal.
I've had something similar happen and freaked out my phone was down for half a day.
Try booting into the boot loader by holding vol down and power boot into recovery, wipe everything then format everything except SD card and try restoring a backup. Hopefully you made one or two in the past.

I don't think you wiped properly. You needed to format ALL PARTITIONS. I can't stress that enough lol.
Edit: Go into bootloader first. Hold volume down then hold power as well. Choose recovery and format all partitions. If that works you're good! :thumbup:
Use the toolkit and flash 4ext. And make sure whenever you flash Roms that you format all partitions.
If that doesn't work you need to flash a RUU, get it back to stock, it will still retain S OF. Then flash 4ext again. Your problems should be fixed for sure if my first method doesn't work.

Hey guys it completly out of the question to format my internal storage so keep that in mind

You don't have to format internal storage just data, cache, system, and boot

Just choose format all partitions.
If you want to use a ruu use the T-Mobile ICS RUU.

So i changed the name of the RUU i download to PH85img.zip and use the all in one tool kit to flash it. The black htc loading screen came up. I waited until it finished and then the bootloader came up with a list of things it head to unzip and then load. After all of that was finished it gave me an error. After reading a message that you should get an error ( i now realize this was at another stage) so i though nothing of it and rebooted. A black screen with 4 warning triangles came up. I let it load all day and when i got home i plugged it back in and I noticed it looked like it was unplugging after securing the charger in I came the conclusion that it wasn't holding a charge and dying on the battery. Normally I would leave it alone but when you plug in the charger it turns itself on. I've began living with the fact that my phone is bricked. But any help would be appreciated.
BTW is there a way to get data (music pictures contacts) that were saved on the internal storage?
Probably should have gone with full caps on the PH85IMG.zip
It's easier just to put the zip on your external sdcard and gone in to bootloader.
