Have an HTC Thunderbolt that I am trying to get up and running but I am unable to pick up any signal. No 3g, 4g or anything. I have tried to flash different radios (via bootloader) but the phone doesn't recognize the file( with the correct name). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I am rooted. At the moment I am running ThunderStick GENII v2.2.0. The file name I am trying to flash is PG05IMG.zip. Originally it was (MR2)PG05IMG. Trying to flash it via the bootloader by placing it on my sd card.
Are you sure it didn't get named .zip.zip? If you d/l it from a windows computer that is set to not show file extensions and then rename PG05IMG.zip it ends up as .zip.zip. Also be sure you didn't get a space in there before the .

If it was literally named (MR2)PG05IMG without the word zip after it, then you have file extensions hidden, which means you ended up actually renaming it to PG05IMG.zip.zip, because the first .zip was already there. If you dont know how to unhide file extensions, then just rename it to PG05IMG without .zip and see if bootloader takes it.
This is why I don't explain flashing radios involving ADB, downloads to a computer, or renaming things anywhere except on the device using a file manager of some sort in my q AND a thread. These files aren't huge. They EASILY download inside half a minute, then you move them, rename them, and flash away. No confusion with file names.

Will this method work if you get a different device? Say downgrading from a Vibrant to a MT4G?

From rommanager flash clock work recovery then boot into recovery and find the zip and flash
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yes rename the zip file to update.zip but that should have already been done when you rooted your phone.
^ no. you never rename a rom.
Flash cwr
Reboot into cwr
Install zip from sd
Check out the noob guide (signature) for much more detail and steps.
You can do it from rom manager, but cwr still needs to be flashed.

Not trying to flame you, but what exactly caused this to happen? We need details to help you out!
What happens when you try to boot the phone not in Hboot?
Which directions did you follow to try to unroot?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009423 is this where you got your info from?
Is there an existing PG015img.zip on his sdcard that isn't a stock RUU file?

Well my best advice would be to go here http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=2703 and download both files and follow the directions. If he can't boot the phone up to put the files on his SDcard then he is going to either get an SDcard reader or use someone else phone. The PG015img.zip has to be on the SDCard's root (in no subfolders) and it will flash in HBoot, after you flash the first file completely 100%, let it reboot and battery pull. Then delete the first PG015img.zip and put the second file on the SDcard's root renaming it to PG015img.zip and letting that flash through Hboot (you might have to press volume down and power to flash into Hboot this time) and let that file flash onto the phone. When it is all done, let the phone reboot, and you should be all set to go. Unrooted and back to the way it was out of box. DELETE THE PG015IMG.ZIP WHEN YOU'RE DONE! This whole process should take awhile (especially downloading the big RUU files. Post the results/if you or him need any additional help
If you are using a SDcard reader to put the files on the SDcard from a computer, if the computer does not list the file extention, DO NOT rename the files to "PG015img.zip" because the phone will read it as "PG015img.zip.zip" and won't flash the file. In this case, just make sure it is named "PG015img"

Haha I remember a year ago I was the clueless one, even though I never started threads stating my semi-bricked statuses. I hate to see new people getting flamed for asking questions. Its scary when you deal with your first boot loop, the last thing you want to hear when you ask a question is wise cracks and snide comments from the "Illuminatis" of XDA. We all sucked at one point. Simple enough

Install in recovery. Make a backup first of course, just to be safe. Can't be stock recovery I don't think. Haven't looked to see if you have to be rooted or not but I assume you do.

I do that but when I hit power it goes deeper into the files and wont start...It has two subfolders and it shows both of those...Im guessing the file I downloaded might not be able to flashed so maybe I just got bad download or something Im not too sure.

The file you downloaded should be camera blah blah.zip. There are probably a couple of files in it. I don't usually look because I don't care. I'm thinking you're getting side tracked in the menu...Here is how using AmonRA3.15:
Put it on the root of your ext-SD card (SD card). Boot into recovery----->flash zip menu---->Choose zip from SD card---->(select it)---->power button---->press power to confirm...and done.

Turn off automatic extraction of files in whatever browser you're using. When you download it it extracted it to a folder with the same name as the zip. Or you could use windows to put it back in a zip file.

My buddy rooted my phone last year and flashed cyanogenmod 7.1.1. My bluetooth piece will not connect to my phone and I'm thinking I need to flash a new rom.
I have no idea how to do this. I tried to read up on stuff like adb and sdk.
I could really use some serious guidance on how to update my rom.
I'm running Android 2.3.7 with Cyanogenmod 7.1.1.
Can I install any type of mod, now? Like Sense?
I hope I am posting this in the proper place.
Thank you
This needs to be moved to q and a. Anyhow, you can now flash other roms. There is a guide posted somewhere im sure. Just google thunderbolt Rom flashing guide or something like that.

How do I move this to Q and A?
And I can run any other type of ROM? Would I have to re-download rom manager and all that? I've been reading up on titanium backup. So I really just download the file to my SD card then delete data/dalvik then reboot to recovery and install new rom there? There redownload titanium and do a restore?

Thank you much. I will read, then re-read this, then ask any questions I may have.
Have a great Monday!
What I really need is the ability to use my blue tooth headsest. Do I have to flash a whole new ROM for this? Or should I flash a radio?
I've been reading up on flashing a new rom but am still confused. Do I need to flash the rom THEN flash an RUU (radio?). How about kernels?
I'm worried that I would have issues with the small things...like clearing/formatting my data/dalvik.
Also, how do I add my Radio/RUU to the "Root" of my SD card?
And can anyone clarify how to verify M5sum? I have a program downloaded for it, but don't know how to use it.
First off radios and ruus are two different things. The radio does need to be on the root of the sd card to be flashed. It doesn't really matter if you flash the radio before or after because that won't change between flashes. I find the best way to do it is just download the radio using the phone. Browse with a root file explorer like es file explorer to the download folder, rename the file to PG05IMG.zip, copy, paste it one folder back (that's the root directory). After you flash it in the bootloader browse to the file and rename it.

Thank you for the reply. I'll download a root file explorer. How should I download a radio on my phone?
Do you think the radio is the issue with my bluetooth not working?
Thanks again.
Hi.
I'm very new to the concept of hboot/rooting/etc. I'm trying to figure how to stop hboot from checking for new zip files on the sdcard, all it does it go through each possible zip file for the model of phone, and it then hangs when it gets after "nv.zip", which prevents me from going directly into the recovery.
The phone is a TMobile G2 (also called the HTC Desire Z), rooted, and uses CyanogenMod11 (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-desire-z/development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-0-nightlies-t2854386 (thanks to them for continuing the builds for my device )). Using HBOOT-0.76.2000 and is S-OFF.

You just have to remove any update zips from the SD card. The phone is made to check for that every time and you can't change this behavior, nor should you as you might need that function at some time to go back to stock or repair the phone.

Does it look for _any_ zip within the top level directory of the sdcard? So if I remove all zips from the top level will it work?

It doesn't matter if you have zips there or not, it will scan the card for them. You just need to make sure nothing with the official RUU zip name can be there on the root of the card (PC10IMG.zip for the HTC Vision / G2 / Desire Z) and it will not try to load anything after scanning.
