Thunderbolt on CM7 rc4 stuck in bootloop - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just flashed the CM7 rc4 from rc3 and my phone boots to the htc logo, then black screen, then restarts at the htc logo.
Now, I'm fairly new to this. Is there anyway to boot my phone back into CWR to restore my nandroid backup, or factory reset the phone? Or is there another way to solve the loop or did I just brick my phone?
EDIT: Nevermind, got it to HBoot and was able to recover.

You may have to boot into recovery and restore back to a working ROM and then try to flash CM7 again. To get into recovery, hold the volume down button and power your phone on. That will take you into the bootloader and from there you can choose to boot into recovery.
Make sure you don't have any radio files on your SD card (the PG05IMG.zip files) as the bootloader will flash them automatically if you do.

So im stuck guys.
I wiped everything (of course)
I was bout to flash a ROM in TeamWins recovery
but it didnt read it (due to scripting i guess)
So i Rebooted to flash a different recovery (CWM)
but since i wiped my system, there is nothing on my phone.
So i tried to get into recovery to nandroid (vol up +power)
But it wouldnt put in to recovery, just power on.
So i went into hboot. but cant get into fast boot cause there is an img there itll read and will only give you an option to reboot once you do (or dont flash it)
IM STUCK

adb reboot recovery ?
Also you could delete whatever is bugging you through a card reader.
BANG! from my shooter...

Thats weird...Id say try reflashing the recovery and if that doesnt work then flash the RUU
Just installed TWRP Recovery and tried to flash a new ROM through that and when I rebooted it opened on the start as well.
I am really stuck
Perhaps the volume button is inadvertently stuck down. This would make you boot into recovery every time. I suggest examining the volume rocker or even the internal buttons to see if it is being touched by dirt or something.
Tried looking at the volume down button and no luck.
Could this have something to do with the PG86IMG.zip file on the root of the sd card.
I removed it and thats when this started happening.

The PG86IMG.zip will either be a recovery img or splash screen...can you mount and unmount your card from recovery? Try doing that and removing the PG86IMG

Only other thing I can think is try installing the recovery img itself and then RUU and see if you can get into the rom....

Finally fixed it last night thanks to scrosler and yourself
Heres the fix in case anyone runs into this down the road
Download ruu ZIP here: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=20
Reboot to hboot
relock the bootloader using this command "fastboot oem lock"
reboot to hboot again by pulling battery this time.
Go to recovery
Rename downloaded file to PG86IMG.zip
Mount USB storage and copy the file over
pull battery again
reboot to hboot and it will scan file and flash it.
Then unlock re-install recovery and you can go from there.

[Q] Stuck on bootloop.. Can´t enter recovery

So.. I was using my phone normally .. but suddenly my phone went very very slow and then I turned off... I was running Unnamed rom.
But here is the deal , the phone didnt woke up! I mean , The phone got stucked into a boot loop , So I treid to enter into recovery with no luck!... Then I managed to go into download mode without any problem.
So after that I restored the phone to stock (One click root odin) . BUT the phone is still showing the Galaxy S Screen Boot loop.
HELP!
I´ve tried many things.. 2 Laptops and PC´s , ports , etc.. I also removed the sim card and the micro sd , but that didnt do anything.
So , any suggestion?
PS: Sorry 4 my english
I'm going to assume that you flashed UCKH7, either the stock without root, or the stock with root one click downloader. If you flashed something different than one of these, let me know.
Since you flashed the stock package successfully, you should now be able to get into 3e recovery by holding vol+ vol- and power buttons. Once in 3e recovery, you should do a wipe data/factory reset and your phone should then boot normally.
If you are unable to get into 3e recovery, then there is some sort of unusual problem, so post back here and we'll try to find out what it is.

If you can't get into recovery using the three button technique then there is something seriously wrong with your phone.

Yes... I'm thinking possible hardware issue. But since you can still get download mode, I'd try flashing the full stock package which you can get from the Download Repository. The one you already flashed did not contain the bootloaders and other stuff. If that doesn't clear it up, then I'm thinking repair or replace.
Noob question.. Where I can find the download repository?
thanks

[Q] Boot loop

Hi guys,
Yesterday I finally got to instal a new ROM onto my phone. I've done this before so my phone was already rooted and had the bootloader unlocked. I decided t ogo with Cyanogenmod10. My build was 4.1.B.0.587. I used the tutorial on cyanogenmod wiki and done everything as was said, step by step. I wasn't sure if ClockworkMod would be installed with the rom, so I donwload x-tools and isntalled it form there. Once thaat was done I proceeded to installiion. Everything went fine up until getting into CWM. I am now stuck in a boot loop, constaltly showing the xpera free project logo, then the screen goes dark and this all over and over again. So I searched the net and forums, but couldn't find any one with this problem. Most people either get into CWM and from there can't get further, or they turned the phone on adn after using some application theirs system crashes, but nobody seems to have problems with CWM. I can't get anywhere from here and have no idea what to do. If somebody could please help me, I would be very gratefull! Thanks

Hmmm...CWM is already available as built-in inside the custom kernel...no need to install recovery using x-tools anymore...just flash the kernel (boot.img) using flashtool...

you have to wait until the LED appears then you can press volume down (you can also try volume up or power button) to enter recovery....but i suggest you flash stock rom back first and make sure that your phone can boot fine...then flash custom kernel and flash CM10 in recovery...

WTF... So I charged my phone first so I reach the recommended 85%... Meanwhile I redownloaded the CM10 if it wasn't a bad downnload or something, from the original website. Once that was done, I turned my phone off, turned flashtool on a connected my phone in fastboot mode. I then flashed the kernel with boot.img from CM, unplugged and turned the phone off, waitign for the logo, pressed the volume down button many times and ntohing. I tried multiple times, different buttons too. Still the same. What can I be doing wrong?

When I have the phone flashed with stock kernel I can get into the CMW recovery. Trying to install CM with the stock kernel is i guess not a good idea right?
EDIT: So I tried downloading CW9 if that wouldn't make a difference, but it's the same story. Once I boot the phone it just keeps looping from the logo to black screen, no LED lights up, nothing. What if I did a factory reset either from CWM or in the normally booted? Could that help in anyway?

Hmmmm...how many times did i have to tell you, you need to FLASH STOCK ROM first...stock rom has stock kernel inside it...flashing STOCK rom will factory reset your phone...it should make your phone like new...after your phone boot normally then you can flash custom kernel (fxp kernel) and boot into recovery using that kernel...then only then you can flash CM10 into your phone....

probably bcuz u used CWM located in phone storage & deleted it. happens.
to shorten here all, i advice u to use allways kernels (built in) recovery. (forget about xparts its onlx for locked bl ppl)
also if u want to go for a cm (10+) build try LX from here bcuz FXP is NO longer supported! they kleave us. also its very outdated/old/bad
if u flash (any) kernel CWM is inbuilt, so just reflash the kernel using fastboot (cmd commands) , then on power on press the vol up button moretimes!! to enter CWM (must work) i really advice u to use some LX build. (dont forget to wipe partitions bfore flash)

Okay guys, I'm really confused right now. I just couldn't manage to boot into CWM with CM, I tried many versions, none worked. I then applied the exact same steps onto LX and it worked perfectly, I was in CWM after pressing the volume down butto na few times. Now it's been almost a month since I did this and I wanted to change to a differet version again, so I wanted to try CM again, but it's the same thing, I can't get to CWM. Any ideas?
Thanks

Does your phone not boot, or not turn on? You said both but it maybe a translation problem.
When you do your wipes, do they complete successfully, or give an error about unable to mount? The Rezound seems to have a very short life of it's embedded flash disk, they have been dropping like flies lately due to hardware failure.

Install latest TWRP and use the Clean WIPE script, then flash again, if that fails use one of the EXE RUU's to get back to stock and start over. If that fails, your emmc memory is probably bad.
Thank u dude i will test it

A true RUU is a program (EXE file) you run from a Windows PC, you put the phone in Fastboot mode in Hboot, and run the RUU on your PC and it takes care of everything for you, it will wipe all data on the device, rebuild the partition table, and write new data to all partitions to the phone. This is about the only way you can recovery from a corrupt emmc. This will return the phone to it's stock, out of box, state on whatever version of software the RUU is (leaving only S-OFF).
