So here is the deal. I am running a rooted unlocked s-off rezound....well I was until I dropped it into a pile of my own **** in the toilet. I got the phone out, and dried it out good. Its been working right for two days. Then I go I try to reboot to recovery and get a boot loop. Just a battery pull and trying to start normally do not work either.
I can get into hboot, and try to get to recovery from there but I get the same boot loop.
Next i tried the factory reset on hboot, just sent me back into loop.
Next I put amon ra on root of sd card with my wife's phone and rebooted to hboot again, I got the message about the update, updated and tried to reboot into recovery and still boot loops.
Also tried to use adb, but it can't find device even though when I plug it i can hear the usb beep on the computer.
any ideas of what to do next?
I am currently on the venasaur bamf rom, upadated that with no issues and been running it for over 24 hours,
Re run whatever RUU you're currently on. Or fastboot flash amon ra again and restore a nandroid
Please change the title to poop loop help lolol best thread ever.

Hopefully your signal isn't CRAPPY after you fix it... sorry.
Yeah a RUU should work. You can do one with s-off it will just revert everything to GB or ICS as far as the hboot version and stock recoveries etc...
Have you booted phone with battery door off?

hey guys im kinda in some desperate need for help lol. so i had twrp 1.1.1 installed, but i wanted to go to 2.1 and try it out. i successfully flashed 2.1 and booted back into system. i wanted to flash leedroid tweaks so i booted back into 2.1 recovery and flashed it. it went through but i cannot get past the splash screen. i tried to boot into recovery through fastboot to make some changes, but i cannot get throuh because i still have that zip on my sdcard and it asks me to apply the update every time. im not sure what to do at this point...anyone have some help they can give me?
Another reason why twrp sucks.
Just do a full wipe and reflash the Rom you were currently on.

PG86IMG.zip is the file you speak of and no...youll know if you install that bc of the screens that load up
finally got it. i couldnt access anything because my phone couldnt get to recovery. i ended up having to go and buy a sd card with an adapter to manually move the files around. i had to go back to twrp 1.1.1 through bootloader and then reflashing a rom. what a mess. but its all good.

damn all you had to do was pull the sd card, boot to bootloader, take the back off, pull battery, put sd in, put battery back, and unplug. Glad you got it figured out though, I just wish I got here sooner.

Lmao that sucks did you have another phone layin around with a usb cord for it.
it seems I have the worst of what the gentlemen has.Actually I have been stuck at the splash screen for
more then and 30min each time before the boot loop.I have had it unlocked in managed to install sos m rom but never was able to boot into it so I tried mean roms same issue.I then re locked ,installed the
htc dev stock rom still stuck at boot screen,now have unlocked again and still stuck
at boot screen following your immediate method no results any help is greatly appreciated
hboot 1.5 S-on unlocked
cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.img
I'm having the same problem. I figured out by holding down the power button for 20 seconds when its stuck in the splash screen it will bypass the issue. If that doesn't work pull the battery out and put it back in. Hold down the power button down 20 seconds while it attempts to boot.... hopefully that will get it to boot into what ever Rom you previously flashed. I have flashed, several differant roms, done super wipes, modified wipes, flashed differant recoveries, updated the radio, and I'm still having issues where I get stuck in the splash screen or I have issues where I can't boot into recovery (its a hit or miss after a couple of different approaches)
This all happened after I went from ICS back to GB (mean rom)

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Stock recovery PG05IMG.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/PG05IMG-Stock-Recovery.zip
Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

Right. I also have a recovery zip that installs the stock recovery if anyone wants it?
It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip
(warning: I have tested it and it works but it did cause me a bootloop, and im assuming this is becuase im on a different rom - - - so not responsible for any damages)

Ok, so apprently I am running cwm, I thought I was running amon ra to be honest but here is my problem:
Ok, I had cleanrom on my phone, lost 4g so started messing around. When I go into CWM Recover v5.8.1.4 and try to reinstall a rom or anything I just get the little CWM icon, It will not go into any option I choose. I have to pull the battery to restart. But the screen will not turn on when I push the power. Only think I can do is boot into bootloader. VZW rep said they can replace it, but was afraid I would get charged from HTC since its prob my fault. Any suggestions?
Hmm. Boot into bootloader, plug in via usb. Flash Ruu or new recovery (probably RUU)
I think that should work.

alright I have discovered what I've done wrong....the phone still isnt working but heres how it happened.
I did flash amon ra, and clean rom. Once I got it all setup, I downloaded ROM Manager, this has killed the phone. Like I said everything I try to flash a new rom from zip on sd, the little rom manager dude blocks me. Any suggestions on how to get rid of him so I can reflash. When I plug the phone into my computer to adb device it is not found. I have download HTC Sync.
you need to be in fastboot for it to be found
Ah the old charging problems. That's right. This guide should work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722989&highlight=clockwork+boot
Your phone isn't bricked, relax. For some reason none of us quite know, when any rezound with clockworkmod on it reaches fully low low battery and turns off it no longer charges correctly.
My cousin gave me his Thunderbolt.
I was able to operate the device fine. Then I did an OTA update. I wasn't able to complete the update cause I needed more battery. So I re booted and now I'm getting this screen.
When I re booted and hit menu it has an exclamation point symbol with an android on the screen in the back ground with Revolutinary CWM v4.0.1.4.
Now I'm stuck in this screen and can't get out.
That's a lesson learned.
Download a rom and put it on ur sd card. Take battery out then back in. Hold down power button and volume key down. It'll take u into recovery mode. Do a wipe and flash rom.

He didn't flash a ROM, he took an OTA update and rebooted before it was complete. Obviously he doesn't know much about root, the cousin should've explained things before giving him a rooted phone.

I'll try to make this brief and to the point. I just got my Thunderbolt a few days ago and it was already rooted. My original goal was to flash it myself and put it on PagePlus. (I posted in another thread, but no one answered) I ran CDMA Workshop and I noticed that my T-bolt wasn't showing up in the ports under device manager. I then attempted to unroot it but that failed badly. I ran through a bunch of articles online and I figured out how to install customs roms. I thought that would fix the issue.
So far I've tried 4 different roms and they've all installed fine. It's just the reboot that's the issue now. When it turns on it goes to the white HTC screen and then it hangs on a blank screen until it reboots again. It's stuck in a loop. So if anyone knows what's wrong, I'd seriously be very thank full.
Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
I guess I didn't ask the question correctly. I dunno. I installed a few custom roms and and it gets stuck after the HTC screen. what can I do to fix it?

OK, so I went to this site and got the radio, renamed it, and then moved it over to the freshly formatted sd card. I ran bootloader, it's been at the HBOOT checking ...

Lol you're s on so you cant flash a radio. You need to run the revolutionary tool and get s off. Then flash the radio in the bootloader.

Is there another way to turn s-off? I can't get it to recognize my phone at all and the drivers are installed. I turn on the phone and then it goes go the htc logo and then to a blank screen. it hangs there for a few and then reboots into a loop. since s-on can't I just install a stock rom and be done with it?

before this phone becomes a victim of Hulk Smash, does anyone else have any ideas?
So are you able to connect with ADB from a computer? The All-in-One tool might be able reset to factory, so you can start over. It can also walk you through Revolutionary/S-Off.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41384498&postcount=519
Note on Windows 7 with the latest version of the tool I linked above, I had to use Koush's Universal ADB Driver instead of the HTC one -- it kept causing my computer to blue screen/reboot.
If you're still looking for a GB ROM as someone mentioned a few posts back, the ThunderShed ROM on rootzwiki is very good.

Oh, yeah. I'm way passed all the issues I had earlier. I'm back to rooted and running smoothly again. I installed airborne, but I really don't care too much for it. It seems real boring. I am considering going back to stock so I can use the legit ICS. All I have to do is just flash the update stock update file and I should be good to go right? I think it's on Android 2.??? and I'd rather have it on legit 4.???
Whatever you do don't take the update.... Just make sure you have ICS radios flashed before you flash the ICS ROMs.
