I got the Thunderbolt the first day it came out and I've loved it ever since. I rooted it early before there was a "one click" simple rooting tool using adb. I didn't flash any ROM's and played around with a few root apps. A Verizon update failed a few times so I unrooted the phone in an attempt to get the latest OS. Unrooting the phone didn't help so I just decided to live without the update since the first version had mobile hotspot for free. Mobile hotspot was all I really cared about so I left the phone unrooted. I now want to try some different ROM's so I rooted the phone and tried to flash some different ROM's. Everything went well up to the point that when I boot into another ROM, I get no service. Can anybody tell me why I get no service with the ROM's I've tried to boot? Verizon continues to try the update with no success. Even if I try to update from within my original ROM, it fails every time.

Are you unlocked and s off? The issue you are having with your signal may be because you need an updated radio.

I'm wanting to install [ROM][AOSP]LiquidSmooth-ICS-v1.5-MR3[10/02/2012] But I can't get it or any other rom to install. I'm running ota ics with root and all that good stuff. I don't know all that much about the thunderbolt because I'm always had Motorola and my nexus 7. When I try it just doesn't do anything. Fails. I have been trying for months but have taken a long break from it due to just giving up. But now my phone is trying to push a 20 Mb update that just makes my phone not boot because of my recovery.
which recovery are you running as its known 4ext has issues with ota ICS. also did you check the md5 to make sure they match. it sounds like its not downloading right and your download is getting corrupted.

The problem is that you downloaded the second update that Verizon pushed out. It wasnt very big since it only patched some apps to update them, updated the cdma radio and fixed an hac audio issue people were having problems with. I doubt it will work but try flashing santods ota killer v2 and then clear caches in recovery.

I'm really more worried about installing that liquid smooth rom rather than the annoying update. I just defer it everyday. I have downloaded it SEVERAL SEVERAL times and it always does the same thing. I tried again last night and It made me remember what exactly happens. It does install and boot but I can't get signal at all and then the whole rom just stops working. Doesn't let me do anything. The whole updating applications or something.
I have searched and found some old threads, but none of them have what I am looking for or the download links are broken.
I have a stock Thunderbolt, but it has a really old ROM (Android 2.3.4) still on it, and I do not have Verizon Service, so the OTA updates are not working.
Is there a way to get the official HTC ROM and load this offline? I should also note that I cannot root the device...at least not permanently, because I need to use this device for testing MobileIron and one of our checks is for a rooted/jailbroken device.
TIA
Have you tried putting the phone into airplane mode and turning on your WiFi. Then try to get the ota?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hadn't thought of turning on Airplane Mode....When I try this and connect to my wifi, the check updates button is now greyed out. Is there an RUU for ICS?
I need to find the same thing, apparently there's no way to get it the official way without service.

The following link has downloads for the latest OTA update being ICS 4.0.4 and Sense 3.6 in ROM form along with the radio updates. This does require you to be rooted first with S-OFF to install the ROM. This is the only format for updates that I could find. Keep in mind this does wipe any data in your internal storage but everything in your SD card will be fine. The thread suggests you use a recovery to wipe the internal storage your self before applying the update. I used clockwork recovery, which was installed by the root method I used, to do that.

After which you can use the play store to automatically redownload all your apps in the My Apps section.
I was running skynote, and attempted to flash a couple miui roms off of their website. I could not get a signal with any of those roms, so i restored to my back up (sky note). Now everytime i make a call, my signal bars dissapear and a circle with a line through it replaces it. It never connects, nor can i get it to connect. i also did a complete wipe and reinstall with no luck. I absolutley need my phone for work. Please help!
edit. i reflashed the m9 firmware with no luck. also, im downloading things of the playstore successfully without wifi and an occasional text is coming through.
Have you tried restoring to stock VRAMC3 and then rooting and unlocking again? If you try this make sure you don't odin 4.3 or accept any updates while on stock.

When I last rooted and ROM'd my GN2 it was shortly after the first OTA. I haven't touched it since then since it's been a great phone for me. I have been unhappy now for about a month with the performance and other issues. I have an issue that's requiring me to factory reset and since I will be basically losing everything anyway I want to update to the newest ROM.
Here's where I am now:
Android Version 4.1.1
Baseband Version I605VRALL4
Kernel Version 3.0.31-414933 [email protected] #1
Build Number JRO03C.I605VRALJB
Hardware Version I605.06
This is where I want to be: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765021
I have the files downloaded and on my SDcard. I have the 4.3 MJ9 firmware ready to be flashed in Odin. But the post says I would only need that if I am coming from 4.1.2 (which I am not) so would that even be needed?
I can't seem to recall how can I tell if my bootloader is unlocked? I used the CASUAL root method originally. I have never had an issue with Root function so I know I am rooted still.
I have the PhilZ/CWM installed as my recovery.
I have a current backup to my sdcard.
Should I just flash as the thread says?
Thanks in advance and I've been at this for 5 hours now and in searching the forums for information about updating from 4.1.1 and there has been none. I've seen the "no posts found" page so many times I could throw my computer! haha!
Hey there,
Yeah you should have an unlocked bootloader since I used casual as well. Flash with Odin the firmware, they mention 4.1.2 because they assume everyone is already on that. You basically need the 4.3 firmware for all the new roms to ensure WiFi works specifically I believe while radios will still work.
So once you Odin you can flash the tw 4.4.2 ROM and expect it all to work. If you have been wanting to try stock aosp 4.4.4 now is a good time, they have gotten very stable since our phone has official cyanogen support.
Good luck
Yeah I followed a post from the thread that was a long process. I flashed 4.1.2 stock. Re-casual rooted. Then flashed 4.3 and the firmware. Then did the 4.4.2 radio and such. It was like a 4 hour process.

Well I had good luck yesterday but now seem to be having issues. And I can't screen shot so I don't know what to do.

Can you describe your issues the best you can?

When I plug in a headset or take out the S pen I get a consistent message about Pagebuddy closing. It won't stop popping up until I put the pen back or unplug the headset. I disabled pagebuddy in the settings hoping that would stop it. I cleared the cache and data from the app and also went into recovery and wiped cache. It was working fine for the first day. Then just started erroring.
Sounds like you have an app installed that's not playing nice. I would use Titanium Backup and freeze all user apps, then unfreeze one at a time to find the culprit

Today it stopped doing it. No messages for a headset plugged in or S-pen removed. I don't know what happened.
Verizon Note 2

Hi everyone. I'm having some serious (or at least I think so) problems with my I777. I live in Colombia, and I bought it over two years ago, had it shipped over by a friend, unlocked. Up until today I'd been using it normally, without any major problems.
However, the last couple of days it started behaving strangely, (turning itself off every once in a while, losing data, etc), so I decided to update my rom today.
I tried to install a new CyanogenMod 4.4 from this site, but I got some kind of status 7 error and it didn't behave properly after that.
Next thing I did to try to fix it was flash a stock JB 4.1.2 rom via Odin.
It worked, but that's when the major problem struck... Apparently my phone got locked for AT&T again or something. It's not recognizing my sim-card anymore. It shows the "no-sim" notification on the top bar, yet it also shows it has a signal (no data, just phone signal), even when my sim-card isn't inserted. When I go in the settings to try to access the mobile networks it says insert sim card even when it's in there.
I did a lot of searching and I used GalaxSimUnlock, which I got from this site too, and it confirms my phone is unlocked.
So basically... What the heck happened?? Is it possible that after three years of using it perfectly with my Colombian sim, the AT&T lock just "came back" or something after flashing a stock rom?
Any clue guys?
If you used galaxsimunlock the unlock is permanent.

After you flashed back to stock, did you try to root again and flash another custom ROM?
I could be wrong on this, but the AT&T stock firmware may not be giving you the choice to register the SIM or change the APN settings for you particular network. I can't confirm this though as I never flash to stock long enough to actually use it. I always root and go back to something else immediately afterwards.
The only suggestion I have is to go back to a custom ROM and try again.
If you are trying to go to KitKat, be sure you have the newest compatible recovery (CWM or TWRP) as the versions of those that work with JB will not allow you to flash a KitKat ROM. There are plenty of threads that will tell you what versions you need. If it's an SGH-i777 model then all you should need to get the proper recovery is to flash one of the two KK compatible kernels as the recovery is packaged with them.
Good luck!
