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.

will come in tomorrow, i have 15 days to mail my damaged one or its 300 ;P. CM has always been my fav. its super fast. my favorite part is how fast booting up can be, unlike bamf sense 3.0. only problem i had with cm7 was that when it rings it rings once.. and when i get a voicemail notification it goes ape $hit.
other than that its still my fav.

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 posted in the "What don't you like about Photon" thread I was tired of people complaining about the same crap. I'm not going to complain (Yet) and when I get home, I'm putting the Photon back to Sprint Stock for a minute..............
@ 1.5 months ago, I had a friend over the house. She wanted Pizza. After @ 2 minutes of me dicking with Photon, she opened app on HTC Inspire, ordered Pizza and even got confirmation call and I STILL had screen freezing and app not open.
Me and same friend went to Hockey Game Sunday where my job had a suite. I took her phone and took picture of her and mascot. I took me 30 seconds to get my camera ready and no freaking clue what happen to picture. File size is 0! Not to mention 1 hour later after 8 pictures, battery was at 20% and I had to shut it off. She snapped all night (was at 10% when we left, but she made it)
Today in company IT meeting with 80+ people, damm thing IPL'ed into Bootstrap Recovery mode. 10 minutes to get out of Otterbox with no tools so I could pull battery out. Then when I put it back in, it got so hott I pulled the battery again. It was so hott i juggled like hot potato which brought unwanted attention.
Again, I'm going back to Sprint Stock.

I've been running rooted stock since I got my phone. and have had none of those problems.
Yes - if you're having those issues, you should go back to stock.
Either your phone is defective or you have done something to it that is creating conflict. I have had the Photon since day 1 release, stock rooted, and nothing even close to that has ever happened to me. Phone is responsive as well and never gotten that hot.

I got it 9:00AM August 2nd. It could be (and likely is) conflict, which is why I'm going back to bare stock. Although it has many features and app's, at the end of the day, I'm on call and need a phone.
As for getting hot, I have no freaking clue what that was about. When I had my Evo, tethering made it get warm. This was actually HOT and I dropped 50% on battery in a matter of minutes? I seriously pulled the battery and sat everything on the floor!

Going to try Sprint Stock first. Additionally, going to cut off the "Auto Update" in all my app's that way I know what to delete and when! Besides, I normally do 300Mb to 700Mb of data a month. Last month I did 2Gb (1.9Gb but who is counting!). and I use Pandora on WiFi!

I've been through the same issues, (among other crazy issues such as random reboots, deep sleep (still), and more.
My cam takes years to work... I get very embarrassed when this stuff happens. Like for example, I had to make a call for a friend, I go to the dialer, dial the number, and press the call button, then my phone reboots immediately, and we all know how long it takes to reboot.

I've not yet tried CM9. I use my phone frequently at work to take pics of whiteboards after meetings.
Realize the team needs to get the right drivers; then I'll try it!
I JUST thought of something.............I have ROM Toolbox Pro. All this s**t started when I moved almost everything from Phone to SDCard! Still going to wipe it though!
I just picked up my phone, unlocked it, held the camera button to get into the camera app, and snapped a photo all in under 10 seconds. What part of the process is slow for your guys?

I wouldnt put apps on the SD card. I had problems with things disappearing and stuff when I tried it.
OK boys and girls, first I dumped all my photos off the phone. I then formatted the SDCard, I then erased internal storage with took me 2.5 hours before I pulled the battery. I then did internal storage again and it took 3 minutes.
Now here is the odd thing.........I really, technically, did not lose squat. All of my apps were still there, just not installed. My e-mail, contacts, etc. all remained. Even my Bluetooth stayed paired. The only thing I did was turn on wireless, go to Andriod Market, and go thru 128 Apps and put them back (no, I did not want to use the restore of Titanium Backup. That would put the curroupt crap back)
And this is the REAL killer, I went to bed at 10:30PM with Photon un-plugged with BT and WiFi on. I woke up to 80% charge!!! something was definately wrong before and I think me moving apps to card was it!!
Anyway, so far so good!!
So two days ago my rezound started randomly rebooting...I thought it was the new ICS rom I had just put on (the newest leak) so I desided to nandroid back to an older ICS that ran smoothly before. Same reboots... and the phone gets hot. So I figured I would just let it rest a night and took the battery out. No Joy.
Today, I RUU'd back to stock and things were running ok for a while... but as soon as I plugged it in my car... reboot after reboot.
I bought it at Best Buy as they had a better deal and better insurance. My only concern is that big ReLocked on the bootloader.
Has anyone successfully returned the phone after unlocking? Hoping doing that didn't negate that insurance. I guess I don't mind stepping on accident on it if need be.
Have you tried this fix?

No, I hadn't until now... will try tonight, but the phone will stay operational for a while... just seems to be when I charge it from the wall or car charger... charging using USB trickle charge, it doesn't reboot as much. I don't hink is has to do with the network connecting thing....as it does boot up and I can make calls... and search online, and use the navigator... until it just gets to hot.

I know this might be a long shot but since our devices don't have s-off, restoring nandroid backups don't restore the boot.img. did u try flashing the stock kernel? I'd try flashing the latest GB kernel, then flash the latest GB stock ruu? I had a similar issue and found out it was the kernel I was using. Was on anthrax kernel

Well, I RUU'd back to the OTA...renamed the .zip to PH___.zip and rebooted into fastboot and it updated everything. I then restart and everything is back to square one, like I just opened the box and activated it.
I presume the RUU flashes over the right kernel as released by Verizon.
I'm really thinking the battery is crapping out. can't hold a charge more the 42% and gets hot...then run out in like 20 minutes... throw in a couple reboots...and higher blood pressure ensues.

I don't have insurance, but I returned a relocked Rezound to VZ online for overheating a couple months ago with no problems.
99 out of 100 times, the rep will not check to see if the phone is relocked, let alone if he knows how to check it.
You're worrying over nothing. If the device is defective due to manufacterer defect, and breaks down becaue of said default. They will honor warranty/exchanges since they are the ones at fault. Now if you fragged your phone because of an oc, bad flash, wrong software, that's your own bad and you're on your own. Unless you have insurance and the phone met its untimely end under your vehicle.
Thanks for all the help... I went and bought a new battery for it, and it does the same thing. Re-locked and bringing it back to best buy today. Fired up my ole OG and flashed the newest MIUI release... the phone is still kicking!
So, two days without the rezound and I'm tweaking..... need to flash a Rom! (Maybe this will be good for me.....)
TL;DR check the last post
Has anyone else been experiencing random reboots lately? Mine seems to be intermittent, i used my phone for three hours straight two days ago and everything was fine. The damn thing just rebooted on me three times in the span of about an hour, two were within ten minutes of each other. I'm running cleanROM v1.4 with no cpu control apps, and I haven't changed anything in about 1.5-2 weeks.

I'm running CleanRom 4.5 and have only experienced 1 random reboot. My girlfriend on the other hand is running stock gingerbread and experienced 5 random reboots yesterday. I asked her what she was doing at the time, and she was of no assistance. Definately something to keep an eye on!
I got pissed and wiped everything, then reinstalled CleanROM DE with only the apps I use frequently and everything has been fine so far, haven't had one yet. Maybe it was a buggy app or something else because during this time my extended battery said it was at 80% then after one of the reboots it said 17% and I was like wtf? After the clean install it said 66%!

Are you s-off ? if not make sure you are flashing the boot.img after installing the ROM. Or if you are on GB firmware your installing the firmware patch if installing an ics ROM.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Yea I have, it's nothing that simple sadly. At first I thought it was a buggy app so I wiped /data and only installed a few apps I use constantly, but it still happened. So I did a fresh install of the current rom I was on and didn't install any apps or restore any data, but it still did it. I just flashed another rom without restoring anything to see if it still happened and it did. I had an idea that it may be the latest radio image that caused it so I flashed to the one before the latest leak, but it still does it.
I'm currently in the process of flashing the original GB RUU to see if it still does it. If it does then I know it's definitely a hardware problem. If you couldn't already tell yes I am S-Off
So the RUU didn't fix it but it did lessen the reboots. Now when I wake the phone up while running Gingerbread the data connection will take a minute or two to connect and will drop out sometimes while the screen is on.
It rebooted on me last night. Also during the night it did a factory reset (or I did it in my sleep!) because when I woke up the phone was at the "choose your language" screen and after I left that all my downloaded apps were gone.
I also just got the OTA adr6425lvw_2.01.605.11-1.02.605.6 but it won't stick.
WTF is going on here? Do you guys think I need to do an insurance claim?

My GF's stock Rezound reboots pretty frequently too... Mine never does, even stock it didn't. After the last fiasco with VZW and sending phones back and forth she's not going to want to swap it out again :-/

While your on the stock unrooted untouched ruu do a factory reset from hboot. Then boot up reboot to recovery and flash your Rom.even though I'm soff I still reflash my kernel in hboot after wiping boot.

Edit: In the past 8 hours I haven't had any random reboots or radio problems (yet), but the battery stats still seem to be wacky (another symptom I forgot to mention). I had the phone off because the battery was dead and I was charging it at my cousin's house. When I left I turned the phone on and in a span of about ten minutes it first reported a reading of 40%, I opened an app for a few minutes and when I looked at it again it was down to 20%, a minute later it was down to 9%. I decided to shut it off for a few minutes, took the battery out and put it back in, then after I booted up it showed 55%! I also had my extended battery with me at the time which I thought was full but when I put it in, my Rezound just went to the white HTC screen and after a battery pull it wouldn't turn back on so I figured it was dead. I just put it back in now and tried to charge it, it's actually at 94%!
I'm currently on GB Firmware, running CleanROM DE v1.4. Before yesterday (?) I have been on ICS Firmware since the initial leak of ICS IIRC.
It just started this crap again about 4 days ago, I was getting one per day on ICS. I ran the original GB RUU four times (twice, tested it out for a few minutes and noticed that data kept dropping out, then ran it again twice) and it still does it.
Before I ran the RUU I was on ConROM when it started so I flashed Nils latest work, when it started to happen again I flashed the kernel in TWRP, when that didn't work I flashed it directly via HBOOT (extracted the PH98IMG from the zip), which still didn't fix it.
I'm beginning to think that I did damage the radios during the S-Off process since I was one of the people that had been trying to run the exploit since v0.01, also during the later tries I realized that I was shorting out the wrong pins at one point After I switched to the correct pins and used v0.02 or v0.03 it works and I had S-Off.
I'm about to go back to S-On and see if it still happens.....
Just came back from Verizon and they're going to replace it for free since it's covered under the MFG warranty since the phone is only 8 months old.
I love how clueless their employees are: I told a guy that my phone was rebooting constantly and that that it keeps losing its connection to 4G (then demonstrated that it had lost it's connection even though mobile data was turned on and when I cycled it it would re-connect), he was about to mention a factory reset but I said I had done about 20 factory resets (didn't mention RUUs or anything) before he even got the words out, so he passed me off to their "tech guy".
Here's the real kicker...
I told him that the data radio keeps shutting off and it reboots constantly. His response was "the what?!" I told him 4G/the internet connection and that I've done numerous factory resets and he then said "we'll ship you a new one."
This is about the 5th time and 3rd different store where Verizon's employees have no idea what the hell I'm talking about. Half the time it isn't even tech related, I've schooled them on their own products and promotions multiple times (namely the 2 month return policy before christmas and the half-off extended battery deal [2 out of 3 employees in the same store didn't know that one])! It's pretty damn sad when a customer who reads Android blogs knows more about the promotions than an official Verizon employee....

If a phone randomly reboots in your pocket, or while you're sleeping... Would you know? I had 7 origional droids, 5 bionics, a rezound, a gnex, and a galaxy tab. I have yet to own an android device that doesn't randomly reboot. I have had devices up tor 11 days without it happening, but inevitability, it happened. I think its related to ram. I never really looked into, but its just a hunch. From what I see on my rezound it is just the shell rebooting and not the device. You are just too much of a fanboy to see that due to many factors, especially fragmentation, that android is super clunky. It is also generally bugged. I am typing this on my bugged sense keyboard, from my bugged WebKit browser. What made android good was open source. It isn't like that anymore.
Just trying to gauge everyone else, but for me battery performance has been horrible since the update. It'll lose 5-10% in a matter of an hour. No more apps are running than when I was on 4.4.4. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

Yes I was having the same issues as you. Phone was perfect before the update. Charged quick and discharged normally. After the ota to lollipop everything went down hill. Was not rooted or bl unlocked all stock. Took my phone to att tech repair store and was told that I was not the only one they have seen with this issue. They did try to flash the firmware in store but it failed 3 times. Tech told me that he believes there are still bugs in the firmware. They did a swap for new device but I did not allow them to update it. Think I'll just stay with 4.4.4...
Edit....
Mine however also took almost 5 hours just to charge from 20 percent to 25 percent. I cleared cache factory reset and still did nothing to fix the problem. I tried ruu but unfortunately my win7 pc would not recognize in fastboot. Always had prob with pc in fastboot . But like I said above it prob would not do anything since att could not flash with the flash tool they use...

Yes I was having the same issues as you. Phone was perfect before the update. Charged quick and discharged normally. After the ota to lollipop everything went down hill. Was not rooted or bl unlocked all stock. Took my phone to att tech repair store and was told that I was not the only one they have seen with this issue. They did try to flash the firmware in store but it failed 3 times. Tech told me that he believes there are still bugs in the firmware. They did a swap for new device but I did not allow them to update it. Think I'll just stay with 4.4.4...

My battery life has sucked since the update thanks to the GPS randomly turning itself on even though I've turned it off.
Here's the thread where I mention it, it was a 4.4.4 thread but various people have had issues with lollipop as well.

I also tweeted #ATTSucks to twitter and their ATTCares representative has responded although I really don't see how they can fix this.

Mine is weird. When idling, discharge is fine. Recharging I'd fine as well. It's when I use the phone when it drops like crazy. Like right now. Unplugged the phone about 25 minutes ago and the phone is already at 96%.

Poor battery life confirmed...
I can confirm that my battery life has absolutely sucked since the update to Lollipop. It was bad enough that AT&T delayed the release of Lollipop for months, but now to finally have it and actually have a worse device than before, is really frustrating.
I have not changed any settings or installed any new apps since the update. I used to not have to worry about charging my phone until 10-11PM at night. But now, I often have to charge it between 5-6PM. Man, do I wish I could revert back to Kit Kat.
This battery issue is seriously making me consider rooting it so that I can install an older boot loader and revert back to stock Kit Kat.
