Hi, because of the GB scare, I went back to froyo, and now decided to go back to GB and so I flashed the radio and Gingervitis IX. I decided I wanted BAMF 2.05 which I had before downgrading and flashed it, but now the phone won't start. It get's stuck at the screen with the 'Thunderbolt' and BAMF, and when turning it on and holding down volume down it automatically goes to update in hboot so it doesn't let me recover. What do i do
You have to get that GB radio off your SD card ... you have a card reader?

Or at least another phone to throw the SD card in? Once you get that GB radio off there, I'd say redownload the ROM and wipe/install again ...

Nope, but i think i've got it, I used my old phone to read the card and put the update on my card for the tb to fix it, thanks tho.

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.

Note: Remember to grab the new radio which is the FIRST download.

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.
I was running Das BAMF 3.0 and then switched to anothe rom. I restored das BAMF and now I keep getting the message Sorry! Process system is not rssponding. I cant get past this screen.
If I reboot into recovery the I get an update message it wants to update:
[1] MDM9K
[2] Radio_V2
If I say yes to update then after the update I reboot and back to "Sorry Process...
If I say no then it reboots and same thing!
Help!
Wipe and reflash. It's what I had to do when mine did the same thing.

I had the same question when I started out. I'll make it easy on you.
Go into recovery, use the volume buttons to toggle up and down. Go to wipe data / factory reset. Select it and then confirm it. Then go to wipe cache partition and do the same. Then go to advanced and select wipe davlik. THAT IS HOW TO WIPE. This is recommended to do before flashing a new ROM.
Can't get past the update
I cant get past the update in recovery

That's easy to get past. Just load a PGIMG05.zip file onto the ROOT of your SD card. ROOT means without being in any folders. If you're on BAMF 3.0 then you're on Gingerbread. So find the RUU file for unsigned Gingerbread RUU and place it on the ROOT. Then do an Hboot. Which is Power down and volume up at the same time when the phone is off. Make sure you don't have any PGIMG05 files on the ROOT. You probably do because you rooted your phone. If you don't you could end up with S back on.
**You did flash the correct Gingerbread radio...right?
**I have no clue where the Gingerbread RUU is. If you find it, please post it. It will be a fairly large file. Probably around 300mb+
EDIT:
I'm sorry but the RUU for Gingerbread isn't out yet. Try Hbooting the MR1 then Hboot the MR2 Radio RUU which is 2.3.4 base.
Link to Jcase radio thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997724&highlight=RUU
I'm pretty sure, you'll need to flash the "PG05IMG_Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.13.605.7_Radio_1.16.00.0402w_NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64_release_182727_signed.zip" on that page which should be the last link.
Take your SD Card out, put in a reader or another Android phone and delete the radio file from it.

I've had this problem too and I've wiped and reflashed from scratch to fix it.
But this happens to all my backups, making nandroid backups virtually useless to me now. Anybody know why this happens? I've never had a problem like this before and it started after trying to restore from the new CM7 back to bamf 2.1....
A common solution would be to backup the SD Card and reformat it in Clockwork or with SDFormatter.. NOT IN WINDOWS.
When the house gets dirty, you have to clean it.

I have tried to format/system and every other piece of advice i can find I still cant get any nandroids to restore... Any ideas?
I have search every possible thread regarding restoring a nandroid and have tried every possible fix... my only solution, which DID WORK, was to format/system, do a full wipe of all three, and then flash the original zip, I cant use any nandroids at all!!! if any one know why please tell me how to restore a nandroid for future use. thanks
format did not work for me either.
restores worked for me at when i came off of Synergy's ROM back to bamf3.0, but coming outta CM7 to bamf 3.0 busted it again...very strange.

I am using th3orys inj3ct rom and just wanted to see what Synergy was all about, when I wasn't impressed i tried to restore my nandroid (which i made right before i flashed synergy) and that is when all the trouble started... i tried everything that I know of and just had to reflash the original ROM and start from scratch, sux but at least my phone is back on.
I had this issue over the weekend. However I did do a restore prior to getting the error... I was texting my gf, and all of a sudden my screen wouldn't turn on... Pulled the battery and when i booted up I kept getting the error.
I had a PG05IMG.zip on my SD card so if I tried to boot to recovery from boot menu it wouldn't let me.
I took my SD card and plugged it into a PC using an adapter. Deleted the PG05IMG.zip and then booted to recovery. Restored my latest backup (3 days old) and everything worked.

What the hell.. this same thing happened to me last night - never had this happen before.
Happened after restoring a backup of Das Bamf 3.0 RC 3
Guess I have to wait for my wife to come home with her old droid so I can plug my sdcard in to her phone and get rid of the pgimg zip
long story short. i updated my Radio using an all in one zip. the update went fine, but i never removed or renamed the pc.img thing. so i went to flash the CM9 Alpha for the evo 3d and when i went to use the superwipe to wipe everything the superwipe was taking longer then normal so i did a battery pull. now i cant get no further the Hboot screen because it keeps updating my radio because i never deeted that file. is there a way to get to the recovery where i can jut rewipe and reflash again? or can i delete that damn pc.img file?
Problem solved. I pulled the sd card out of the phone and put it in my tablet and deleted the pc.img file. Phewwww

I recently was trying to upgrade from ICS Dev edition 1.2 to 1.4 and i installed it just fine through recovery..... my device is S-ON still so rebooted to the bootloader to flash the kernel and it went smooth. Allow it to load up, skip the account install info..... get to the main screen and let everything settle in then reboot, upon the next reboot i get to the main screen and try and login to my google play account to start downloading apps and my phone reboots itself after the push from gmail comes through. It does this upon every attempt at restarting the phone. I did a battery pull and cannot get back into recovery because the kernel image is still on the root....I cannot figure out what to do as i have never had this much trouble with a rom before. I know there is away to relock my device and install the latest RUU and get back to working but i dont know how to get into my bootloader to do all this. If anyone could help me out it would be great appreciated as im banging my head here trying to get a functioning phone back.
If you have an external sd card reader, use it to erase the ph98img.zip file. Otherwise you can boot phone with sd card slid partly out, slide back in when booted into recovery, takes a little dexterity.

You could use an old phone, if you have it, to rename/delete the file. As to the original problem, if you are still on GB firmware, make sure to flash the patch, too.
If you would of just flashed the old firmware patch you would not of faced this issue

To make it easier, if you're using TWRP just mount USB storage in recovery.
Whisper ROM coming soon.
Your phone isn't bricked. You have to have the SD Card slide partially out and hold the battery down hard so it still powers on. Go to bootloader and go to recovery and then you can slide the SD back in and boom you're golden. No worries

I can confirm this method works. A little tricky, but it works.
thanks for the help guys.... i couldnt ever get it to boot into amonra recovery so i just relocked and ruu'ed the latest (and most likely official) ics leak..... im back up and running. if it turns out this leak isn't the final i will just have to run that ruu when it comes out.

I can also confirm that it is likely to blank your SD card if you're not careful. Make sure you backup your SD card before trying this method.
And yes, I it happened to me.

this method DOES work. all this method does is Bypass the "PH98IMG" scanner so it wont find it because the SDcard is not inserted in Properly. so it will then continue into hboot which would allow you to access your Recovery which would then help you to fix your problems.
Recently flashed the liquid ICS JMOD rom and it worked awesomely up until this morning. I guess it started two days ago when my SD card would randomly unmount and i couldnt access my music or anything. usually a trip to 4EXT recovery and a manual mount would fix it but when i went to restart it never came back on. I cant boot into boot loader or regular boot , any suggestions?
Have you tried booting without the SD card?

yeah no dice i cant get any response from the Power button it doesn't do the vibration no HTC screen nadda!
I forgot to point something out. when i rebooted to recovery it did go in but it wasnt getting a read from the SD so 4 ext booted in safe mode. once in their i hit reboot and thats when it decided to never start again.
Sounds like you have the dreaded broken SD port. Does you SD card read on your PC? If it does then backup the sd card and try reformatting it and put everything back. Then try booting.

Have you tried that yet? I have one that did basicly the same thing. Was restoring a backup cuz it was freezing. Recovery rebooted by itself twice while trying the restore. Finally finished and hit reboot. Stuck on splash screen so I pulled the bbattery. .hasn't booted since,computer can't see it, charging LED doesn't come on, can't get to bootloader. It pretty much died right there in my hands.swapped battery, USB cable and SD card with my other tbolt to check those possibilities.
First part about your sd card. I had this happen to my sd card and one day the card died. I tried to have it read on my computer and it wouldnt read. As for your second issue I have seen on different forums about this happening and so far no one has been able to fix it. Sad to say but your bolt is probably bricked.
