flashing thunderbolt back to verizon - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

can someone help me with flashing this thunderbolt back to verizon, ive been trying to figure this out. thanks

You want to go stock, right? Try flashing one of the old froyo roms and you should get a vzw ota for gingerbread. Don't know if that will get you s-on tho....

it is currently flashed to pageplus right now and i want it to go back to verizon

Restore back to stock

I havent used my droid Eris in a while because I got a droid incredible. I need to sell my eris because of the rough economy. Im running kaos froyo and CWM recovery. What steps should I follow to bring my phone back to total stock? Im unfamiliar with the restore process of the droid eris. Is their a PBM1img.zip file that i can flash? I would like it to have the latest (Rom)software available for it from HTC.
I very unfamiliar with the stuff for the eris so if their is a back to stock thread i can follow please let me know.

Just flash the flashback 1.5 Rom. It will take you back to stock 1.5 and stock recovery. Only exception is your bootloader will remain at s-off and there is no way to change that

Or just send me your DI.
Search the Eris Android develpment thread for Flashback 21 look for the threat with restore to factory stock in the title and follow the instructions in this thread and you should be good to go. The eris will not ota to 2.1 anymore. If you want 1.5 the instructions are there for that one as well.

I was in the same situation.. since they took away my hotspot, I used it as the chance to put a custom on it. I ended up going with bamf 3.0. Liking it so far... CM7 was my other choice.

USC 2.3.5

Just curious.
Has anyone come across a hack for the US Cellular 2.3.5 sbf to allow a flash back to the Sprint sbf?
This would be fantabulous since it was just announced that the Photon will be getting the ICS update in a few months. I'd like to get mine back to stock before that update comes out.
Thanks!

The US Cellular Electrify will get it at the same time if not sooner.

But I don't want the Electrify sbf. I need it to be back to Sprint. I'm trying to get the OS back to the Sprint Photon sbf so that I can do the OTA to 4.0 when it becomes available.
If you are rooted and unlocked, you might see a downloadable flashable version of the official rom in here shortly after it comes out.

That'st the problem. I can't be unlocked with the Electrify 2.3.5 sbf. It's impossible. I have successfully rooted it but can't install a ROM from recovery. Keeps giving an error. Probably because the bootloader is locked and can't be unlocked.
This is exactly the reason why when I had the 2.3.5 Electrify SBF that I didnt make it a public post.
To this day I still haven't posted it.
People PM'd me for it so they could use it, hack it, whatever, and I warned them that it would lock the phone down.. Of course once I let it out, other people spread it....
Lesson learned I guess.

I only flashed it in desperation after I had already jacked my bootloader. Before I flashed this sbf, I tried fastboot flashing every img file out there. None worked then I tried flashing sbf file after file and this is the only one that took without erroring out. I didn't load it on purpose to hack or modify it.
I just want my bootloader unlocked so that I can have at least a fighting chance to get one of Sprint's sbf's flashed.
check your pm's
I have the same issue!! I need to get my phone back to Sprint as well!!! I have the USC 2.3.5
I need the stock uscc 2.3.5 sbf because i am rooted and did the ota and now its partially rooted somehow and im having an issue with my phone speaker and need to send it in under warranty. If anyone could please help id owe you my life. Thanks in advance.
Honestly we should start a bounty for this. I would certainly pay to have this thing unlocked so that I can get back to my regularly scheduled programming.

If you had backup made with bootstrap cwm then root with torpedo and put back bootstrap then install recovery and restore the backup, that's what I did.

If you flashed the leaked ICS RUU, then you cannot go back to the Stock GB RUU. (May be possible soon when the devs release how to achieve S-OFF)
Until then check out this thread...

going back to bone stock

Ok,
Want some input before i do this and screw something up.
I'm currently running Scott's CleanROM ICS (built off the VM leak)
I honestly have no idea what FW (stock sprint, stock VM, modified, etc) i have.
I basically want to get my phone back to bone stock, all sprint software (FW, Radio, OS, etc) and go from there
What is the easiest way to get this done? And once i do, and upgrade to the latest OTA, is there a way to root HBOOT 1.58? All i really want root for is to WiFi tether..
Suggestions appreciated.

Where to start....well how about development is for well development and I know this sounds obvious but I guess this needs to be said seeing the circumstances....questions go to the Q&A section seeing as its a question and answer section....(that's what q&a stands for in case you didn't know)

via fastboot and now i'm back to the following:
Appears locked (Bootloader no longer says "revolutionary")
S-Off
HBOOT 1.40
Radio 0.97.10.0530
Android 2.3.3
Sense 3.0
Software Number 1.13.651.7

Since you ran that ruu, you should have stock gingerbread. There is an ruu out there with the latest Sprint stock stuff (ICS). If you run that one, you will be ICS stock but still s-off.
