Back to stock.. - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering what I need to do to get back to stock, but stay rooted... I'm running infusedtheory currently. Just getting tired of reboots and freezes with every ROM I've tried. Unless someone can point me to a rock solid ROM... Thanks..

Install one of the stock roms for rooted phones if you want stock on a rooted phone. Gingeritis 3d is rock solid for me

If you're getting freezes and reboots on custom roms, that to me sounds more like a kernel/O'C issue or maybe even a hardware problem.
My phone hasn't been unrooted since launch but even when I flashed my first custom Rom everything was much smoother.

infusedtheory is a beta ROM using the new htc kernel. Every ROM using that kernel is having issues.
I would use gingertheory or the older senseless rom by droidtheory. Those have been rock solid for 95% of the users. You might need to play with speedtweak, but droidtheory's roms have been very good.

I got reboots on the old radios but the new mr2 has run great with no reboots on any BAMF roms I've run lately.

Official 1.70.605.0 MR2 OTA
This is the official OTA MR2 ROM rooted and deodexed. This is a stock as you can get while still rooted.

thanks to all of you... i installed the gingeritis 3d and it is running perfectly. i don't think i've used a rom/kernal combination that didn't reboot or turn off on me at some point and i've ran this for nearly 2 days now and its been flawless. just fyi to you guys, i was getting reboots on the mr2, mr2.5, and the newer .627 (i think thats the one) radios, with numerous roms. i installed them correctly, i'm sure of that. not sure what the deal was. oh well, gingeritis 3d is pretty awesome. thanks again everyone.

[Q] How is CM7?

I was just wondering how CM7 is working on the Thunderbolt now. Heard that for some it's stable enough for everyday use. Anyone who is running it, how is it? How's the battery?
Same battery as before, but it seems to last longer.
I've been using it as my daily driver for well over a month now without any issues!

Well thanks for the input, I'm going to flash it tonight and see how it goes
I have been wondering about trying this as well. Kind of new to the custom roms, so I've been a bit hesitant to try something that isn't stable.
Right now, it's perfect to be used as a daily driver. I haven't encountered any issues at all on RC 1.3.
I love CM7 so far. I'm running it with the .627 radio, and it is very nice. GPS does not work though, and that is pretty standard for AOSP Roms. I know there is a trick where you need to flash a stock rom(or some other HTC Sense based rom) and obtain a good GPS lock with that, then flash back to your CM7 backup afterwards.
My nandroid backup (the only different ROM backup I have right now) is froyo, and I don't think it will work with the radio I have installed, and I don't really want to have to flash a radio as well, so I'm not sure which sense based ROM I should flash. What is the best Sense ROM with the .627 radio right now? das BAMF?
Everything seems to be working for me and has been working good for about two weeks. I did the sense gps lock trick before flashing CM7. I have the latest radio installed and used bamfs to get gps to lock.

[POLL] What ROM do YOU use?

Just as a reference point for some people who like to see what "Most" people use.
If you put "Other" please post which ROM.
Also, to ROM Devs, if you don't see yours listed, I didn't single any out on purpose, I just did a quick skim of the available ROMs and This board won't let me add any new Poll options it seems... So, Sorry if I missed yours...
I'm using Senseless 2.0. By far my favorite rom, until we get CM of course...

Was using Viperrom but now using latest stock OTA deodexed version. The camera fix is mainly the reason. Eventually gonna go back to Viperrom once he makes one based off the latest OTA.

I was running viperRom for a few weeks, but decided to give Virus a shot and absolutely love it. I'll probably jump back to Viper whenever the new release drops to see what kind of changes were made.
I'm on vipermod right now but am interested in synergy but I'm a little intimidated..I didn't understand half of the tweaks that were in the op and i don't know how to flash nightlys ..I don't have a desktop so I'm not sure if you need one to.flash the updates ..only way i know is to download right to my phone, put on root of SD and flash ..anyone with synergy how do you flash nightlys and can you do it right from your phone
rooted stock.
I have been wanting to flash but the damn phone is just running too good in all aspects and I have it right where I want it. Some days I secretly hope I could find an issue/bug that would give me a valid reason.....

S-off and wanting to return to GB firmware?

has anyone done this yet? i want to stay on ICS, but ever since the ICS firmware that i got when it first leaked, the battery has gone to ****. i see some people getting crazy battery life still on GB firmware but running ICS roms, so i'm wondering, where can i go to get the GB firmware back? if i were to flash that RUU or whatever (with s-off), then restore my nandroid from right now, would that restore my ICS firmware, or would that be good?

im doing it and i absolutely love it and you can still enjoy ics roms and sense 4 roms and have crazy battery.
to go back just backup and run the gb ruu and install the rom of your choice.

as for your nandroid question i honestly have no clue. youd have to ask someone whos more familiar with recoveries and how nandroid works
thanks dude! so you're running ics right now, and on gb firmware? what kind of battery life are yo getting?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
Personally, I did the same , but didn't notice appreciably better battery life. Then again, I never really complained to begin with. I recently did flash back to the newest ICS leak so I could quit having to flash patches . I only have 3g though, and use wifi at home so your use will definately vary than mine .

Well this week im trying out clean rom gb. Last few weeks I was on the pokemon rom.
I get an easy 14 hr day with 3-4 hrs screen time and close to 5 if I'm lucky.. But you gotta take into account a few things if you want this kind of life:
1. I have debloated and desensed very extremely
2. I don't EVER use task killers. More harm than good
3. On incredikernel and have uc/uv
4. I use watchdog and autostart manager to watch my cpu usage.
If I didn't do this stuff my screen time would only be around 3hrs which is still great but I just like to push it

There's a couple of custom kernels, but they're basically the same as stock with little tweaks.

Not really. If your running an ics rom stick with stock kernel. I have a custom one because I'm running gb clean rom

just like the title says my friends, what ROM and why? likes? dislikes?
Thank you!
Clean Rom 4.5

Because I'm stupid at HTC phone modding and it seemed easy as hell to put on my phone
the complete 3.14 leak, only rooted it and froze all the bloatware.
it's fast, it's stable, and I get the same, if not better battery life than the stock GB I was on previously.
Currently at 53% battery at 10.5 hours on battery with 50 minutes of screen-on time.
I am s-off.

any idea if the nwe 3.2 version with the RIL fix is better? i was not very happy initially with that rom. was slow to me anyway. but i LOVE sense4.0.
CleanROM DE ... closest thing available to AOSP. The thing I really wished I had while on AOSP on the EVO 4G was the Sense camera and phone. This has it!

Cleanrom 4.5 standard. I've ran many other roms as well and they are all very good. I like the stock look and feel with some minor adjustments which cleanrom provides.

I also just installed Ineffabilis Deus 1.0 this morning and I'm liking it. I was a fan of the Ineffabilis GB roms also.
Rezrom 2.4, because I wanted an ICS ROM with Sense 4.0 and it looked to be the most stable. First time unlocking/rooting/flashing and I managed not to brick it
I was tired of waiting for the OTA, and that didn't even have Sense 4.0 so as far as I'm concerned right now this software is better than anything the Rezound will ever get officially.
Scott's stock rooted ICS leak (3.14)
Updated firmware just to see how it works and have s-off.

I'm using my own ROM based off the initial ICS 4.0.1 leak.
I'm using this particular leak because it's an early build, so HTC hasn't made as many significant changes to ICS yet... it has a lot less "Sense" in it, and plays nicer with more true AOSP files, and requires little work to fix most of the annoying bugs. I've added in my own ramdisk, init.d support, SebastianFM's OC kernel, a lot of the usual optimizations (zipalign on boot, sdcard tweeks, etc), and its great! I am trying to get that 100% AOSP look, however I still have the stupid Sense call screens to figure out..
Clean Rom 4.5 because it works and it's pretty fast. I'd like to try a Sense 4 Rom, but I need Bluetooth so until that's stable I just can't do it. Not for any length of time anyway. Looking forward to AOSP and maybe MIUI (fond memories on my Inc) or at least kernels for better batt life.

MR4?

What's the difference between mr4 roms and a rom like gingeritis 3D? Now I'm running clean rom 1.0 n its a mr4 rom...like what's the mr4?
Sent from my HTC Mecha using XDA
MR4 was a leak with Sense 3.0 and Android 2.3.6, I think. Unlike other sense 3.0 ROMs which ported Sense from ROMs designed for other devices, MR4 is a Sense 3.0 ROM that HTC actually put together. I am now running a version that is very close to the leaked RUU and it is great. The built in WIFI and USB tethering work out of the box.

Ok cool. I was curious what the difference was. I'm running clean rom 1.0 right now n am thoroughly impressed with it HTC should've releases this in an ota or something lol

Strangely enough I've begun getting terrible data speeds on MR4 roms lately. There's only 2 that I know of, and both of them I barely get 1mbps. I just flashed InfectedROM and now I'm back to 20mbps+. I tried a few diff radios and such and nothing made any difference other than flashing this new rom.

Could be the build.prop from the MR4 roms, not sure though. Try replacing the build.prop from Infected with the build.prop from the MR4 roms, see if it makes a difference.
Easiest way is to copy it to your sd card from Infected, flash back to MR4, then paste it back. Reboot and check it out.
The slow data speeds is a kernel issue. Flash imo's 6.2 and you should be good. I get about 5mbs on the stock MR4 kernel, but about 10 on Imo's.
I use the stock MR4 kernel because on all Sense roms my in call volume is way too loud, except the stock MR4 for some reason.
