[Q] Broke my Thunderbolt, need help - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to return my tbolt to stock so i can send it back into verizon. Everything was going great untill the last step. That is when this screen came up.
I cant get it to do anything now. It keeps coming back to this screen everytime i start it up. PLEASE HELP!!!!
Thanks guys!

I am not quite too sure on this but you have s-on which means your unrooted already so i think your good to go but you should wait for a 2nd opinion nonetheless

You need to flash an RUU.

Think My Amaze Is DEAD.

so today i got one of those crazy auto reboots on my phone. it turned off, i turned it back on, unlocked my phone, and it turned back off....repeated this process for about 10 times. did a few battery pulls, and nothing.
now my phone doesnt get passed the HTC screen. spent over 4 hours on trying to fix it and nothings working. flashed EVERY rom available for the phone along with different kernel combinations. still nothing. i am a very patient person but COME ON! this is getting ridiculous. im a pretty "important" person, if you will. and i know i have tons of calls and texts i cant get back to that are probably important.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know asap.
HTC ville here i come
My phones been running hot as of today..I hope it doesn't end up like yours. Gonna go stock when I get back home. Gonna even wipe the phone internal memory just to see if there mite be something causing it to suck.

Which recovery did you have installed?
This can actually get closed now
I charged the battery all the way then took the battery out. Let it sit for a few hours then wiped, reflashed another Rom and it went through smoothly
VERY weird.

Sounds good to me! The Note already boots up 2-3 times faster than my previous phone...

Parsing Swype beta

I am trying to install the Swype beta on my wifes Rezound and I am getting the parsing error. I have it installed already on my Rezound with no problems. We are both out of box stock. Any suggestions?

I'm having the same issues on my sensation xe. Think it's a problem with their servers, downloaded thousands of times before only today I'm getting parse errors. I've re-flashed my Rom too, after a superwipe.

Re downloading Swype didn't make a difference. I think it is her phone. Seems like the screen won't time out either. Phone is 2 days old. Looks like I'm going back to the store.

Same thing happening to me I don't think it's her phone. So calm down. There's slide keyboard. Try swiftkey in my opinion is best keyboard on market

Same issue here updated an evo3d to ics and cannot get swype to work at this time with the parsing error.. This is pretty concrete it's not client side
It seems to be working for me now. Maybe give it a try. Checked their forums earlier and a lot of people were reporting the problem.

Not being able to install Swype isn't the reason to go back to the store. The fact that the screen won't turn off (time out) is. I will give Swype another try. She just got the phone Friday and I noticed right off the bat that if you didn't push the power button, the screen would stay on. This phone is still way more awesome than the charge. Thanks for the advice.

This may be a stupid suggestion, but did you check the timeout settings? Mine never times out either, but it's on purpose.
Right, I know its weird but after flashing 2 roms friday, I went this order each time. Downloaded the beta and ran the apk, went to the sign in screen, put in my email and pw. Hit the download english swype, got the parsing error. Backed out to the login screen. Put in the activation code there instead for the pw(my account was already activated...but was trying anything.) Said incorrect pw. I then relog back in with the correct user/pass. Aaaaand it worked. Both times...don't ask me why, it just did.
Restarted Phone
I have the same issue using the Swype Installer on the Samsung Captivate. It's happened to me no matter how many ROMs I've tried (4 separate ROMs so far). I have this parsing error, I simply restart my phone.
On a side note:
I noticed I only have this problem on the first boot of any ROM I have flashed. For example, I flashed Team Nyx ROM earlier and on that first boot, I couldn't get the installer to download. After I restored all of my apps, I just rebooted and it worked.
... This has been my experience, so I hope this may be helpful to someone else having issues.

Dude, you were right. I think it's not so much putting in the activation key as it is just trying repeatedly. After about 10+ tries it finally installed and works.

You were right, it worked today. Screen still won't time out. I double checked the settings and it is set to turn off in 30 sec.

Getting new phone under extended warranty

Hey guys my screen went out yesterday. I took it to Verizon and I am getting refurbished rezound under the total protection plan.
I am rooted...unlocked....custom boot loader...and Rom...c
Do I need to try to relock and factory reset every thing?
Since the screen went out due to bad hardware...does me having custom Rom and software screw me when they put a new screen in the old phone?

Its hard to do without a screen. But if you use the rezound toolkit you can run the ruu and that will get you back to stock. the progress will show on the command prompt so you will know when its done. Like the post above said, better safe than sorry. Chances are they won't even check though.

Best to unroot if not and they see its rooted they can deny your claim and charge you full price. Not worth the risk
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Didn't unroot. Didn't S-ON. That's just me, though. Mainly because I forgot. I had no problem with it from Asurion. Though, as others said, better safe than sorry. You never know.

Random random reboots.

So I bought this phone used and it would randomly reboot and so I installed 4.4.2. But that didn't solve it so I ran the Viper RUU and then flashed it back to 4.4.2 and that still doesn't solve . Two curious things: when I bought it it came with a locked bootloader but s off and when it boots up it says for development use only. And now it won't boot at all I might be able to get it to boot temporarily though if I'm lucky. Any ideas?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
Sounds like the previous owner may have had issues, ran a RUU & got rid of it. Running a RUU would put the bootloader back to being locked, even with it being S-off. It's hard to say what the issue could be, honestly. The red development disclaimer you're referring to when the phone boots up is normal on a rooted device. I'm almost wondering if the battery could be at fault, particularly since you say you can't get the phone to boot at all now. Will the phone charge at all?

I had a similar problem using the 4.4 roms. So since then I have just been using the older roms waiting until the new ones get the issues ironed out.

It was giving me trouble on pure stock too so I don't think that's the problem it could be the battery though how difficult is it to replace that?

Phone will now charge and boot but it is still really fussy with reboots and getting it to boot.
