I am not a newbie to rooting or at least I think that
But, my EVO 3d has been acting very wierd since rooting in december. I used the HTC method with hboot 1.5 and used reliable roms (infected, miui, mikrunny)
It has never been the same, I have to periodically reflash new roms because the phone would freeze up, ghosts start typing on the touchscreen, certain part of the screen I can't touch, pressing power button would wake the phone and start the music
I have used various recoveries (twrp 1, twrp 2.0, twrp touch, cwm 4, cwm 5, cwm touch) with most stable being twrp 1 except for the fact that turning off the phone and restarting it causes it to be stuck on the HTC splash screen.
Just to explain the severity of the situation, the volume and power button have almost been fully pressed inside the phone from starting recovery and bootloader menus, the back case tabs are broken
I am soo bogged down with the phone, that I just want STOCK HTC software with 100% reliability and nothing else.
Sounds like your digitizer is going. I had the same problem. Bring it in and they will either replace the digitizer or the phone.

There is a sticky for going back to 100% stock and s-on. Or u could wait for the next official update and just take it

Yeah that's what I was wondering, can I just accept the newest HTC update and be "fully back to stock"
i personally belice its either you or the phone ( most likely the phone) doing weird things..... just go stock and get it replaced brother man

OK. This might sound like a dumb question... But when was the last time you pulled the battery and left it out for thirty seconds? An all voltage clear is sometimes all it takes. Also... Do you use a screen protector?

I had the same problem with the ghost typing. the problem was the digitizer. If you have insurance on the phone then set it back to a stock ruu and bring the phone in to sprint. this is what i did and i got a new phone overnited and had it the next day.
Its as I feared I dropped my phone in water like a month after I got it on launch day, I just didnt want any bias if I told you guys first.
BUT the problem was NEVER there when I had stock HTC, it only started after rooting since december, where can I buy this digitizer?
I do have a screen protector so I'll remove that and put a new battery in, maybe it'll fix the problem

that literally is what happend to me. all was well for a little bit but then it got out of control. Good thing I got it at BBY Mobile and they got it replaced with a new one. Luckily it had HBOOT 1.4

Update: I have taken off the screen protector and there was some water left in it
I have installed a new battery too and most of the ghost touching problems have gone away.
But I have a new issue, I cannot get any rom to reboot for some reason, I have tried all the recoveries (ext4, twrp, cwm) I have to flash boot.img from fastboot if I want to load the rom after turning off the phone. Is there a solution for this problem?

This time I have really f***ed up guys. I really think this time I have actually bricked my Thunderbolt. I was on Bamf Remix 1.63 I believe and everything was running great. I was obviously rooted also. I was bored and decided to flash Protekks Battery Sipper Kernel. Right after I flashed it, the phone would not boot. I pulled the battery and booted up again and it got stuck in a boot loop. So after a few tries I finally got it to boot into the bootloader. I got into recovery and tried to flash a backup and it rebooted in the middle of restoring it. I tried that a few more times. I then let the battery die. Then I charged it up a lot and tried to power it on and got nothing. The screen will not even turn on. When plugged into my computer it sometimes vibrates and my computer detects it and then my computer makes the sound like it was disconnected. I think it is still stuck in the boot loop with the screen off though. BTW the charging light does light up when plugged in. I tried the stock and extended battery to make sure it was not a battery problem. I finally called up Verizon and after I told them it would not turn on he said he is shipping me a free replacement. I told them that after a OTA update the phone would not boot. He warned me that if there is any evidence that the phone was rooted or hacked, I would be charged the retail price for the phone. That is really the only thing I am scared of. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Sorry for the long post, I wanted to get in all the details that I could.
Thanks

Wtf? This isn't Samsung. OP do you bootloop in bootloader? I recommend you go to the irc and give them any info you can.. you will probably end up flashing a stock ruu through the bootloader but first go to irc.

I already have the stock zip on the SD card so when it does boot up, it will return everything to stock. I have read online that some people have been charged retail because there phones have been rooted but most of them have gotten away with with it..

I think you're almost certainly fine. It's a lot of work and time for big red over one phone. Plus, your etf is less expensive than a replacement device
Sent from my Thunderbolt using XDA Premium App
thanks for the response man. etf= early termination fee? I might not have said in my original post but they are sending me a free replacement device. The rep on the phone specifically said that if they find my phone to be rooted or hacked, that I will be charged around 629$ for the refurb replacement. I really cannot afford that (

I got out of a bootloop on my friend's Insipre 4G (which is very similar to the TB) by mounting the microSD on my computer, and then putting a stock ROM on it. I had to rename the stock ROM PG98IMG (PG05IMG on Thunderbolt), and flash it through the bootloader, but it did work.
Thanks for the post man but the Thunderbolt does not show any signs of life at all besides the flashing orange LED at the top blinking and the computer detecting it on and off every 5 minutes. The stock zip is already on the SD card so when it finally boots up it will flash and hopefully Verizon won't charge me out the @ss for a replacement.
powered on! for a second...
UPDATE: I just had it hooked up to my laptop and it booted on the the white HTC screen and I almost had a heart attaack :O but then it powered off and wont come back on. FML

how long have you had your phone and what hardware revision was it? did you try to run the RUU yet?
i think some people just got a batch of faulty phones because this doesn't seem to affect many.
I highly doubt verizon is going to receive your broken phone and boot it up and it will magically work. The only way it will auto-update is if they boot it into HBOOT. If they somehow just power it on it won't automatically apply anything. Keep that in mind. But I really wouldn't worry too much about it. If they charge you call them and tell them wtf I wasn't rooted. I don't even know what that means lol.
I have had the phone since the very first days it was released. Another slight annoying thing I have had happening prior is the glue on the screen has not been holding it down very well and and I can easily get a nail under it. And it wont let me do anything. I have a Droid X as a backup for now but I miss my beast

that's what im starting to think as htc has since released a revision 2 thunderbolt. i know as i just bought mine a few weeks ago. im wondering if the faulty phones were version 1 phones and have since been fixed. i also do not experience the high battery drain most of you guys do either.
I need to get this phone in a bootloop.
How can I do it?
I need to return the phone to the Sprint store because of light leakage but they said 'that's not sufficient reason for a return' so I need to bootloop it. Help me out guys, please?

I also have this problem that when I go into teamwin recovery my search button has a dim light on it while all the other buttons are not lit on. I'm talking about the capacitive buttons at the bottom.
Do you think If I show a sprint employee that screen it will raise a flag or are they too stupid to know?
Also, I was thinking of just flashing a ROM and midway through the 1st boot I just battery pull. Does that sound like it would loop me?

I have seen many threads asking how to get OUT of a bootloop, but NEVER have I seen one trying to get INTO a bootloop. lmao. So you're going to get yourself into a bootloop, and take it in rooted, with S-off and all? I wonder how well that will go over. They'll be like,"oh look, it has a software problem because it's bootlooping. Oh look at that, this thing has S-off and super user installed, guess no software warranty on this thing.". The reason I say you'd be taking it in with S-off and super user is because you'd need that to flash something to get you stuck in a bootloop....and if you unrooted it and turned it back to s on before you brought it in, that would mean you had to run an RUU, which would at the same time fix the bootloops! LOL Just demand they replace it for the light leakage, rather than intentionally trying to make it bootloop. That is the funniest **** I've seen all day!

That light over your search button is light leakage. The other buttons are supposed to be off while you're in recovery. Just deal with it. I have that problem and many other people do as well.
I don't know why you're so worried about light leakage. It really isn't a big deal. There is no point in taking your phone back for this. You're just screwing the rest of us in the long run.
It's not just light leakage. Ever since I took the OTA I get random reboots, even tho I'm using SupraROM. I'm within my 30 days, they have to give me a new one.i just tell them that doing the OTA the battery died.
Take a leak on your phone. Lightly.
Every now and then when I activate the screen to unlock my Rezound I get a blue screen. Sometimes it's a split screen and others it's the whole screen. It flickers back and forth between the unlock screen and the blue screen.
Sometimes after maybe 15 seconds it just goes back to normal. Other times if I turn the screen off, it will turn back on just fine.
Has anyone else had this issue? What was the solution?
Here's a video I made of it happening. Sorry it's sideways I had to use my DInc

So wait, if we work at the store, we could just swap our **** out whenever **** happens, instead of waiting 3 days for a refurb?
Damn, makes me hope I get the job even more now, lol
nah lol my store has a 2 week return policy..if it's a defective unit, we swap it out for them, and send the defective one right back to verizon.
My first one did that too occasionally... About 5 times in the second month of owning it... And then one day the screen just never turned back on.
Return it.
I would take that back. As many have said, it could lead to more serious problems down the line. Give the Verizon rep a link to your youtube video.

dev section should have all the stock roms, I would probably flash the newest GB stock ROM, RUU would be best to make sure it isn't a software problem.
So I flashed back into gb with the latest GB RUU it finished fine but... afterwords I entered Hboot and bam it turned off, Never to be awakened again. I have 2 batteries I tried and nothing tried adb reboot, still nothing. So I called vzw and I'm getting a "replacement". This will be my third rezound lets hope it works fine. anyone else have any stories for me while I wait for my phone to arrive?...
No, first phone works great right out of the box.
Via my HTC Rezound
Never had a single problem but maybe because mine was made in September which was likely one of the first productions
Proximity Sensor Died
Had my Rez for around 4 months. Noticed in the last week or so that the screen never shut off during a call. Rolled back to the latest GB RUU and relocked the phone. Tested again and still a no go.
Spoke with Verizon and they sent out a replacement. This one has another issue with the proximity sensor. Right after I dial, the screen goes black. Have to keep hitting the power button to wake the screen when I take it away from my head. Unless I have the phone tilted toward a light, the proximity sensor turns the screen off during calls. This one also has pink buttons.
Guess I'll be getting back with Verizon shortly...
You did check to make sure the sensor is not blocked right?
Blow it with some canned air. Lint gets in the way all the time.

Pretty much the exact same thing happened to me with my original Rezound as I was trying to prepare it to send back to Verizon. Originally the screen just died, so I was using fastboot to restore to its original ROM and recovery, and somewhere along the process the Rezound just decided to die completely. Charge LED never illuminated again, and I couldn't get it to turn on at all after that. Oh well, it was on its way back to Verizon anyways.
First phone purchased on Cyber Monday, sent out December 15th when it came back in stock on AmazonWireless. It was January or February when the USB port just gave out, no charging or data flow at all. Had to get a CLN. Both with pink keys and light leak on the bottom >.<

Here's my sad story. I spent a good 3 - 4 days getting my rezound working on CleanROM. It was not easy; re locking, downgrading the main very files, wiping, flashing Ruu, wiping again, flashing CleanROM, and so forth.
The next day I was charging it, and noticed it was hot at the plug (USB port) I re plugged in the charger and the heat was gone, as was the charge. Long story short, the USB port was fried. I called Verizon and they sent me a new one.
I was just about to start rooting it when I noticed the touch screen was not responsive in one area (an inch above the bottom of the phone).
It was at this point my wife ask when I would just stop with this phone and get an iPhone, b/c it just works. I won't go into the fight that ensued :-$.
So after proving to big red that it was not due to an application I installed, they agreed to send me a new new one (which I'm writing to you on now)
So far, so good. Fingers crossed.
I'll probably try rooting this guy tomorrow. Wish me luck .

So last night, my phone decided that it would no longer like me to use it. The screen is a full screen of (for lack of a better term) rainbow snow. It is pixelated. I can't see anything except the snow. I have gotten it to show my lock screen by kind of tweaking the phone by bending slightly. When I get the lock screen, the touch screen no longer works. I can hit the power button to turn the screen off, and then again to only get the snow. I am thinking it's probably a hardware issue. I haven't dropped it or gotten it wet. Which leads me to my next question. I am rooted and running CM 10.1. I can't get in to recovery mode to restore to a stock ROM. If I take it in to Sprint for repair/replacement will they have a way of seeing I am running a ROM and decide they wont't work on my phone?

Is it possible that you CAN get into recovery and you just don't know it because you can't see it? Work with me here.
If you can power down the phone, try powering up into bootloader/fastboot and try to flash an appropriate RUU from fastboot/usb. Just a shot in the dark...

That is a very good chance. I will give it a shot tonight. Thanks for the idea.
I pretty much have no idea what to do now. My phone won't mount the SD card on any computer. The phone recognizes the SD card, i just wont mount it. When trying to use RUU i just get the error 170. So, i guess i will be dropping my phone off at sprint and hope for the best.
Same issue. Was running Carbon which is cm based. Tried everything, nothing worked. Took it to the Sprint store yesterday and they got me a refurbished LTE. I'm thinking of getting the HTC one but can't afford it right now. Refurb phone works alright so I'll just keep it for know but I know what you're going through. it sucks and although the ROM worked awesome it may have been the culprit.

The tech thought it was a connection issue with the display, but he couldn't get it fixed and thinks the motherboard went bad. They are replacing the phone with a new one, but they are backordered so I have to wait a week.
Yeah but what caused all of our phones to have the same issue that doesn't exist on sense roms? Kernel overpowering the motherboard causing it to fry?
