Hi.
I am about to unroot and go back to otb stock. I am wondering if anyone knows for sure when the random reboots that I, and several others encounter, first started because I need to know whether to do the OTA after I go back to stock.
From my memory....... :
Wasn't there 2 OTA's?
And the random reboots started after installing the 2nd one?
So should I just install the first one.......orrrr......does it automatically only give one OTA direct to the 2nd one released?
Or should I not install any OTA's at all and patiently wait for Gingerbread........
Thanks!
We have MR1, MR2, and MR2.5 but I think only MR1 was an official OTA (dont quote me on it tho since I have been rooted since I got the phone and have never received an OTA). I think the reboot issue has been a problem for a lot of people for the entire time and isnt a new thing. IIRC MR1 caused quite a few reboot issues but not for everyone. I personally ran w/o any reboots until I got to 2.5 and even then I have only ever had 1. Its just what works best for you.
You will be waiting patiently for quite a while for official GB from what I have heard on the boards but you can always try out some of the GB ROMs that we have already.

You are correct Beast there has only been one official OTA. My wife is not rooted but I am
Well I went back to stock because I was gonna try to go to Verizon today and swap it out.....
I find it funny this exactly what I was going to ask today myself. I'm also running bamf remix 1.8, have tried all the radios and even installed bamf 2.0 for GB with the Mr 2.0/2.5 radios. Still got reboots. Now I want to go back to stock and unroot so I can go back to the store and swap it
Just wonder if its worth it, maybe if they let me swap SD cards
I just un-rooted my phone about two days ago. After, I did the OTA update. I hadn't seen any problems until today. I live in a 4G area and work in a (up until Monday) 3G area. Since Monday they have been testing out a 4G tower. I have had 4G until this morning, I just figured that they were still testing it out and had switched it off. Well, about an hour ago I got my first Reboot. When the phone came back up I noticed that the 4G had just came back on. I'm pretty sure that's what triggered my reboot. So in short, as long as they keep the 4G going I don't have any issues.
Just curious is the update worth doing? And if i do it do i go ahead and install the GB bamf rom and radio? or just go back to my current 1.8 remix?
im curious what you guys have your phones overclocked at? I am rooted on the RC3 bamf 3.0 and the only time I have seen reboots is when i had my phone overclocked to high. now that im at 1.42 on the bamf cpu (I disabled my setCPU) and it has been solid.

Ive just about had it with the resets like crazy ive had this tbolt for more then 30 days i know thats way pass the 14-day mark but im just curious would they let me exchange it out for a different android device just curious
Have you considered you have a bad device? Maybe you should exchange it first? (got another tb I mean).
I would say try and get a different thunderbolt. I don't know if they do this yet but back in the day when I was rocking the blackberry your. I had about 3 your replacements that were "bad" and finally offered me the bold. I think you need to go threw 3 device or more of the same and then they will let you get something else

i was thinking about getting it replaced with another tbolt just fear i may get another in the same manner in which mine is in... ive did hard resets till i was blue in the face- pulled the battery tons of times... i want to love this device but just isnt flowing right
for me my motorola droid was the champ compared to this wish i didnt sell it now
Are you rooted? Did you flash any radios?

yes i was rooted at one time and yes i did flash the new radio but ive reverted back to out of box stock un-rooted with s-on stock kernel and radio -

Have you experienced any more reboots?
Sent from Verizon in Phoenix, AZ, running a rooted Thunderbolt, with Lightning Rom v3.3.1 / Adrynalyne 4.4.3
Sounds like you just have a bad device. I'm rooted running BAMF 1.6 and the newest radio. I've never had a reboot.
Okay so i want to update to to the latest radio version, the leaked gingerbread one, but ive heard a lot about random reboots and other problems. what are peoples experience with those? also, im running the latest virusrom and waiting for the new update thats been promised is the radio gonna affect whatever rom im running? and if i change roms could it change the radio or are they totally separate things?
PS- if the leaked radio is too glitchy then which should i update too? (im still on stock 1.16.00.0223r) ive looked through -->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13093559&postcount=1 but im really confused. the first looks the newest but ive heard people complain about glitches too. id really rather not flash each one at a time if i dont have too :/ no 4g in my area so its no big deal.
Also thinking about going to das bamf 2.x beta if virusrom isnt updated soon. comments? feedback? anyone try it?
I would look for the radio list and download the 2nd one down on the list, it is a combo of the new with the old and it seems to be working for most.
I ended up going with the first on the list. the newest cdma and lte. no problems so far. Getting better service at school too
I'm on latest MR1 radio with CM7 and it's working fine. Was told by Slayher not to use GB radio yet. If you want to use the GB leak though, you must use leaked radio.
Having trouble with the Radio for GB... i cannot get the phone past the HTC quietly brilliant, I have tried taking the battery out and then restarting but when I boot into recovery it tries to update the radio and then restarts to the quietly brilliant screen
I'm on the GB radio and Gingeritis and I'm having no reboot problems so far.
how do you like gingeritis? ive been considering switching to it or another gb rom but i was hoping to get one with sense 3.0 that new lockscreen looks sweeeeet. does that one have it?
Hey guys could anyone help me out, I received a refurbished phone from Verizon 5 days ago and it keeps rebooting. I managed to root my phone using "BAMF GingerREMIX v2.0 Beta #6", Radio: 1.39.00.0430. The most I can use my phone is for about 10 min. unless I leave plugged into a charger. Can anyone help me out???
Are you sure your battery is any good?
Yeah my battery is good, i got a brand new one and its still acting up..
Change the radio to the mr2 radio. Seems the most stable of the gb radios. That might help
Sent from my thunderbolt
This happened to me as well as soon as the screen went off. Rebooted. If I kept playing with it it was fine.
Had to go back to Froyo roms because of it. Happened with MR2 and 2.5 radios.
Sometimes when I mess with the kernel settings a lot this will happen. Try flashing a new kernel or even the same one and see what happens.
Mine has started doing the same thing after receiving refurbished from VZW. My old one never rebooted with same setups. Something quirky going on with it. I can flash back to stock and stops. Its not the rom or kernel i'm using because i have tried all combinations that used to work flawless on old device.
So I am a proud owner of the Thunderbolt now and I am loving this phone a lot. I’ve moved over from the Sprint EVO. I was rooted since day 1 with that phone. I ran CM7… and while my overall phone and speed test were faster than the stock phones in the house… I still seemed to have constant issues… be it from the phone itself or the network.
Of course I can’t leave well enough alone with this phone. I wanted to put Gingerbread on it (it still has 2.2 WTF?!) and I wanted to put Sense 2.1/3.0 on it. So I successfully rooted (WOW that was easy) and installed clockwork recovery. I decided on SHIFTS3NS3 V1.4F as it seems to have exactly what I want (I kind of don’t want to go back to CM7, everyone claims they have no signal issues but I am sure they do, especially when my Sense loaded Evo could get 4G where CM7 could/would not).
So BEFORE I rooted or did anything, I did several speed test throughout my home and work. Smooth scaling and great speeds. After rooting and installing Shifts3ns3, I started running test. My speeds dropped… and now I was seeing “skipping” with the speed test (gets to a point, stops, drops, stutters going back up, drops again, etc). So I get to work this morning and the speed test is doing the same here. I did a nandroid backup of my stock set up last night before I installed the new ROM… restored it this morning… and ran the test at work again… lo and behold I am getting faster speeds and no stuttering.
So perhaps a radio issue? I noticed there are Froyo radios and GB radios (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128)... When installing the GB ROM does it update the radios? Was I running Froyo radios on a GB rom and is that bad? Should I try upgrading to the latest GB radios and run test again? Does any of this Rom switching/radio switching affect the simultaneous voice and data ability (that’s actually huge for me and the main reason I got this phone)?
I appreciate any help. I’ve been a XDA board reader with EVO since 11-2010… so while everything is familiar to me… this all seems different with the Thunderbolt.
First off I would upgrade to the latest radio. Although these are *beta* radios, they work much better than the stock radios.
Second, after installing the latest radio try, Bamf 2.4.1. Just like you I like staying close to stock, but like extra elements with my ROM. To me Gingeritis is just too far from stock, plus the Carousel home screen is a pain in the ass. Bamf 2.4.1 is just stock with sense 3.0 weather and lockscreen, and without the location icon in the status bar.
Also, my speedtest on Bamf 2.4.1 was a straight shot. No drop offs what so ever.
And, of course this is all just my opinion but I strongly believe that Bamf 2.4.1 is what you want.

Quick question, since I am on page 10 and not seeing this answer... what is the difference between ADR and non ADR? He mentioned on page one that its "Adrynalyne. Its what I made according to my own wants"... but I am not sure what that means LOL. Only reason I am concerned is that there still seems to be a sense 3.0 lock screen bug that someone said is a known bug and to flash the non ADR version.

Gingeritis doesn't have a carousel home screen. Gingeritis3D does.

The ADR version uses elements of sense 3.0 while the normal version is basically stock. You want the adr version.

i came from the evo too so welcome. IMO the reason people are having soo many data issues is not from the radios but from the 2.3.5 build that was meant for the nexus s phone. 2.3.4 doesn't have those kinds of problems. just my 2 cents!

if i could find a decent 2.3.4 aosp build id jump on it. the only thing keeping me from sense is the low volume issues.

Low volume in call? Geeze... I wish I could turn it down! Gingeritis3D is blaring loud. I never use it more than half way up.
Thanks everyone for the responses!
I guess I am just scared to do anything to mess up my phone. I trouble shot and tinkered with the Evo so much so often.
Right now the phone works. And works great. I just wanna help the battery life some... and remove Verizons bloatware.
It seems the Thunderbolt handles radios differently depending on the build? With the Evo I would just flash a radio and I could bounce around from sense to AOSP, froyo to GB, and it wouldnt matter. The thunderbolt has MR2 radios... Froyo radios... GB radios. So my last question here is... right now I am on stock. If I go to a GB based rom, do I flash the radio first? And if I go back to the stock rom, do I flash the MR2 radios first (my phone updated to 1.70.605.0 while it was being set up in the store) then flash back to stock? Basically do the radios persist throughout the builds and I flash them according to what ROM I am using?
Thanks again.

The latest radio's available will work with all ROM's out right now (Including the latest Froyo ROM's).
If I remember correctly you should be okay to just flash the ROM (No need to flash the new radio as MR2 works with both GB and Froyo).
The Radio's persist through everything except a RUU or PG05IMG.zip flash (Depending on what you are flashing of course).

OK so it IS like the Evo then. The radio thread isnt stating that they are Froyo/GB radios... but where the radios got pulled FROM. I was totally reading it wrong.
Thank you for the clarification!
I "flashed" the stock ICS leak 3.11.605.22 and it worked awesome for like 2 weeks. Today I restarted the phone and it never came back on, it never booted up no matter what I did. I now have the replacement rezound and want ICS again, was this just a freak accident or did the RUU mess up?
Did you try a different battery? Id say the ruu had zero to do with it.
I certainly will not flash the leak on my phone. Its working too perfect to risk messing with uncertainties.
Personally, with all the reports of bad devices I would just wait a week or so to make sure your new phone doesn't have any issues before flashing anything.
I really wonder how many people blame the leak for bad phones. Seems like HTC had bad quality control when it came to the rezound. I feel lucky to have had no problems with my phone after reading all the reports of returns and heating issues.
I have had the ICS leaked RUU on my phone since the day it came out and have not had the first problem with it. The RUU didn't mess your phone up, a dead or faulty battery probably did.
It wasn't the battery, the Verizon rep tried a new one and he also tried both batterys in the new phone and they worked fine in the new phone.
The phone that messed up, I had for about 3 weeks or so with no problems. Then I used the RUU and it worked flawlessly for about 2 weeks, then BAM! now I have a brick.
since flashing the RUU i have radio issues galore. data just stops working. sometimes on wifi, sometimes on 3g, whatever.

See I never had problems with the RUU itself. The radio worked tons better than it did before the RUU.
Now my new rezound won't read my sd card. I tried reformatting still doesn't read it.
For those of you who have flashed the RUU and are having problems, try flashing it a second time.
I paid particularly close attention during the flashing process and hand verified the versions of subsystem I could after the update. It turned out that the first flash only applied the hboot, kernel/boot, and a few minor systems successfully. After a second flash, everything applied correctly.
For instance, a number of people reported that the radio versions didn't change from the update, when in fact the radio changed significantly (currently running @ 1.22.10.0310r, 1.22.10.0308r).
After the update, I've found my battery life is significantly better than the GB kernels (I used BAMFs modified, Incredikernel and the Stock OTA). My reception is noticeably better, but I can't give a qualitative judgement other than that. And, most importantly, the phone is easily 100% more responsive. I used the stock OTA and BAMF 1.0.2 on and off for a while and unless I repeatedly killed background tasks my home screen (ADW Launcher EX) would stutter and lag, games would periodically slow down, web browsing would periodically freeze, etc. Now, my phone consistently has 300MB of RAM free (before it was usually less than 100MB). The leaked RUU is the best thing to have happened to the Rezound so far.
Note: despite my complaints above, my phone was always more usable than my OG Droid and my wife's dinc2, I'm just giving a comparative description.
