Ok so I was a victim of theft and got my Thunderbolt stolen, sux I know so I got my replacement brand new. I rooted following jcase's thread then proceeded to flash B.A.M.F. 1.7, clean wiped everything about 4 times to be on the safe side. The problem is it wont boot past the splash screen...just flashes goes black vibrates flashes goes black. Thought it was the Rom so tried The perfect Storm and same thing also tried flashing different kernels and still the the same s**t and its really starting to piss me off. With a battery pull i can get into recovery but i dunno what the f**k is up. I succeeded once at a full boot but when i reboot for whatever reason its the same s**t all over again. I don't know what to do or how to figure this out any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all for reading and thanks for your time!
Are you wiping data and cache before flashing each ROM?

yes sir religiously
How long have you waited for it to go past the boot flash screen? Sometimes it might take a while to boot up because it is your first time booting up after all.......

Be very careful using GB. It has a somewhat annoying habit of bricking phones. I wish I could offer some better advice about the ROMs. I used to have that happen on my D1. Some ROMs just didn't like it. Have you tried flashing the ROM, when it gets hung, do a battery pull and then try to reboot it? Sometimes that will get it past whatever is messing with it.

Okay so hope this is the right spot to post this....
My phone about two hours ago was on working fine. At about 30% bat...
I took a nap and now when i plug it in to the charger it will not turn on at all.. only thing that happens is the LED blinks that orangy color over and over...
If i remove the battery and put it back in.. still nothing at all ever comes on the screen.
After removing the battery and while plugged into the charger if i hold the power button it will vibrate once and thats it...
not sure whats happening.
I was on gingeritis 1.0 and everything was great up to this point.
any ideas??
Let is attempt to charge for a while, maybe 2 hours. Then see if you can power up into the bootloader. See if that works.
I had that happen once as well. I just let it sit on the charger for about 15-20 minutes, and it booted up with no problems after that. In my case, it looked like the battery was just completely dead and needed to build up enough juice to last until after it booted up.

Ditto, try pulling battery out for 5-10 seconds, put the charger. It will not blink, then it will flash orange blinks let it sit for some 15. Minutes. Remember that TB takes alot of juice to reboot sometimes 5%.

My phone got stuck on the white htc screen this morning all of a sudden without any perceivable reason at all. Luckily I was able to restore to a backup.. BUT... It wouldn't install any new roms on my phone anymore for some reason.. they all get stuck on the white htc screen.
My advice.. GB is f&&&ked somewhere deep down.. and which is probably why it isn't officially released yet. Keep off of it if you don't wanna brick your phones.

That's a sign of a hardware failure I had a bad touch screen and once it went out it wouldn't boot past the splash, I'm sure it's similar with other hardware failures so it's a bad device not the gingerbread roms
Atleast that's my opinion

I had this happen to just a few ago.
Picked up the phone and screen was off,Normal, I hit power and nothing.
Pulled battery, went bootloaded mode recovery and wiped and loaded bamf.
I have all the roms on my SD now.
Serious now, that was the second time I loaded th3ory.
The first time, I went to uninstall something and when I hit uninstall the button started flickering wild.
I kept mashing uninstall,I got it to switch to the next screen where you hit ok.
Then got a pop up over and over, phone force close sorry.
Pulled battery and went recover and loaded bamf.
So th3ory came out with v4 I thought ok why not.
Then I had the dead phone problem like you are talking about.
I don't want to bash any dev or Rom but I'm not sure about th3ory Rom guys.
I posted because this just happend to me and many post are talking about battery.
I don't think its a battery problem guys

For one all GB ROM have the data load issue when trying to uninstall. Second, if it was a issue, more people would have reported it.
Titanium Backup, a App you use in every ROM, CPU setting to low, not wipe to save some time, a multitude of things could cause you a issue.
In my defense, if it were my ROM, it would be heard.

Dude. Stop bashing the GB dev Rom. You run the risk of bricking with any Rom. Plenty of people are using GB and the 2.5 radio with no problems, myself included. If it docent work right on your phone then put something else on it. Not every phone is going to react the exact same way to a flash. Your always going to have those few exceptions, even with OTA's.

Not good advice at all.
Check your charging cable! I just had a bad cable the other day and my phone was doing the same exact thing... light bliking on and off. I found if I plugged it in and then lightly pulled it half way out the orange light stayed solid, but it took some work.
Before you start freaking out, just try another cable... hopefully its not the connectors inside your phone.

no need to get your panties in a bunch.. My advice is only worth whatever it is.. (which may be nothing too).. and I am not thrusting it on anyone to follow it.
Where the hell do you figure I am bashing devs??? The more time one spends on xda the more you come across these noob "police figures" who go around poking into unrelated stuff getting all worked up for nothing.. Like I said.. it is probably something to do with how the alpha gingerbread works at the core level which is causing all these problems.. it has nothing to do with devs.. and look around you.. plenty of people are reporting the same. I didn't see anyone complaining when devs reported the same with the earlier GB and asked people to stay away from it. Were they doing it so that they can bash other devs who had their GB roms out before they did? I don't think so. So quit shooting from your hips and move along.
If the led is blinking it means the phone is totally dead. If you let it sit the light will eventually become solid and be fine

I have a very unusual problem that i just googled and have not come across. I woke up this morning and found that my display wasn't turning on, as if the phone was off. I had encountered this problem before and a battery pull worked fine. Im on MR2 btw... but this issue is different, my diplay is completely dead, D-E-D, dead... after the battery pull i held the power button to start up again but all i got was the vibration on start up, no lcd screen response.
i know the issue is the lcd screen and i can replace it myself, if it had just been that. i have the total protection plan set up and can replace it, but my only issue is that the TB is rooted. upon fixing it they will realize it once the CM7 animation comes up. i need advice on how to handle this situation.
i cant bootload neither, display is completely off... i can hear sound going on so i know its on. Help please!
i had CM7 rc1.2, mr2 radio, clocked up to 1.6.. i was on bamf for a while but switched to cm7 2 days ago.
You cant boot into recovery mode? Try booting into hboot see if the screen works. If it doesnt just take it to VZW and when they fix it be like "What the heck! You guys rooted my phone?!"

Have you tried running a RUU (ROM update utility) to return your phone to stock? Download one of the .exe RUU's (not the zip) to your computer from this page http://dougpiston.com/ThunderBolt/RUU/ and run it from your computer with your phone plugged in and turned on. With any luck it will return your phone to stock.
i cannot multi quote for $hit, anyways no i cannot get into bootloader because my display wouldn't boot up... but out of sheer luck i finally got it to work!!! and heres what i found! the screen has water damage! then i remembered this morning before getting my phone i tipped over a cup of tea my son left there. im lucky the phone even boots up! i guess facing the phone downwards saved my phone but not the screen... ill hit up VWM and see what they have to say.

Glad you were able to get the RUU to work. I didn't specify one RUU because I figured you would use any one of them just to get your phone to stock, then you can take it to Verizon or mail it to asurion for replacement.

You're welcome. When you get the new phone don't hesitate to put CM 7 back on after you're rooted. I feel its they most flexible and up to date ROM you can put on an Android phone.

I had the same problem with the phone only ringing once, I changed the ringtone from Digital Phone to Bell Phone and that solved my problem. I read that certain ringtones don't work properly with CM7 and there is fix in the next update.
Ok, I have tried everything I can possibly think of to fix this..
I am getting a black screen after the phone boots up. I have tried various roms and kernels. I have tried factory resets, recoveries that i have had used before and so I know the work.
I have done some searching and other have had similiar problems but they say to remove the battery and do a reset, but that has not worked .
I do have HBoot1.5 and im using the HTC unlock.
The only thing that have been able to make it do different, it will get stuck on the HTC screen.
Also, when the Bootloader loads i see a couple things that say "No image or wrong image"(to fast to read) pg86img.nbh
Any help would very appreciated

you should probably relock then run RUU.
Thanks
I could not figure out the RUU as it would give me a error. After it was locked again it worked fine.
Now I had to ask for a refund for the 4g i bought on ebay(Thank-god they give a 30 day money back)
And now I just need to fix my problem that led to the furstrations I had today.
My digitizer has started giving me problems. So now ill just get a new digitizer, alot cheaper then getting a new phone, lol.
ok so my (edit) *Vibrant is not booting up...
I press the power button, the vibrant turns on, logo pops up, boot animation, Tmobile animation and galaxy s animation plus sound all happened, The phone gets to the lock screen and within 3 seconds just shuts down.
Anyone know what could be wrong.
Phone is stock, neither romed or rooted. is this a battery issue, hardware or software
Does it boot up when you have it charging? And which phone is it, the Vibrant or the Captivate? Those are 2 different phones.

Maybe you have a defective bootloader or phone. If it's still under warranty, just bring it back to T-Mobile and exchange it.
was trying to fix a vibrant for a friend of mine with a very similar problem
after many hours of work w/ odin & attempting to flash different things.. i concluded that it was hardware related bc i made it all the way to stock but it would just shut down randomly
does it give any sort of message when it shuts off? or just goes black?
have you dropped it a lot?

im starting to think its hardware related as well. at time when i boot into stock recovery the battery logo just shows up, the android man with the the exclamation point. idk if up to a certain level of currect is drained the battery shorts out. how can i possibly test the battery??
There is no message or anything... as soon as it boots up to the lock screen it just goes black.
i just acquired this phone. I have a HTC Glacier that i use for my everyday. this used to be my friends old phone and it started doing this, he just got another one and gave me this said if i could fix it i could have it to mess around with. as far as i know it hasnt experienced much rough and tough life. on the outside it looks almost brand new.
So I bought a brand new battery and the vibrant won't even charge the new battery...

sorry to revive this but did you try cleaning the battery contacts?
You probably moved on with life lol
So one day out of the blue, my phone starts acting weird. I think hey no big deal, and I just go on to restart the darn thing. When it boots up it acting normal again, but then I start to get a phone call. No big deal I answer it, but when I go to hang up it is still stuck at the point I answered it. With the answer or decline button. I think to myself to reinstall the rom again. Do that same problem still going on... I install another rom same problem two roms later same problem even after flashing a stock rooted rom.. Now here is my real question what do you think is my problem? I went from cm 10.1 working fine, to an older cm10.1 then fresh rom 3.5 then stock. With the stock rom it would boot all the way to the home screen then restart. But on my cm 10 it would boot up fine act normal then when screen timer turned the screen off it would be stuck off not like frozen the lights at the bottom would cut on but not the screen, and I'd also hear it click off.
Any ideas or is this just something for sprint tep to handle?
More information is needed to even begin to answer.
S-on or S-off, recovery version, clean or dirty flash? Take a look at the sticky for rooting and flashing roms to ensure you are doing the right processes etc.
