My ex-wife's Thunderbolt has been having problems for awhile, and recently it stopped connecting to the internet. I re-flashed the radio, changed radios, re-flashed the ROM (running SOAB 1.04), and finally decided to return to stock for replacement. So I downloaded and flashed PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.19.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310014 and decided to see if it was still malfunctioning, and it worked fine. Now I need to root/flash SOAB again, but when I enter recovery mode it acts like it's not there. It was rooted with Revoloutionary previously. What do I need to do?
The ruu you flashed wasnt rooted so you'll have to flash the recovery in h boot again.

To be clear, download recovery, then change the filename to PG05IMG.zip? What about SU?
After you flash recovery you go into the recovery and flash superuser for the thunderbolt.

Thanks, I thought so but wanted to make sure. I almost tried to flash SU first LOL! Glad I came here first!
Yea I don't think that would work lol.

I have loaded this radio then I booted into recovery and tried to install Das BAMF Sense 3.0 RC4.9 from zip and the download starts then about halfway though it goes back to the bootloader screen with the android guys skateboarding. It has fastboot highlighted with the only options being bootloader,reboot,reboot bootloader, and power down. I have tried to reboot, boot back into recovery and restore but it keeps going back to this screen...any idea's??

Well, if you can get into the bootloader you are not bricked. Go to Jcase's stock recovery thread and get the rooted stock PG5... to load in hboot. It will essentially get you back to rooted Froyo and then you can reflash the recovery and whatever rom you want.
Or I believe you can rename a ROM to PG5... and flash it in recovery as well, although I've never tried that method.

I've never heard of anyone flashing a rom through hboot by renaming it to pg05img or whatever it is. I wouldn't try that without evidence of out working

I have. I've just never tried it. It's not something I've ever had to do.
I still would advise caution though.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I've tried it and it works! Be careful, I would recommend using the stock rooted PC05img that was in the first post, it usually works, you just have to noodle with the 4g settings after.
thanks guys, I am a happy camper. I am loading the stock rom as we speak....Man I lost sleep and could not work.

P.S. @ sOOpasold3r, if you want to wait until about 10pm EST, I can send you the exact radio that will work and it will bring everything in to working order for you.

Good luck. Rooted stock usually does the trick. Just be sure to name it correctly. I always screw that part up, lol.

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)

hello guys. I had done a nandroid of my previous rom, flashed a new one and didn't like it. So now I recovered to my old rom with recovery. Everything seemed fine but one thing.
Every time I try to get back in recovery the phone just reboots. Maybe recovery didn't flash back? Should I just flash a recovery via the bootloader?
Thank you guys in advance.

A restore shouldn't have touched your recovery partition, regardless just try flashing it back.
Check to make sure you don't have a ph98.img on your sd card

Flash it again long time ago that happened to me after a nandroid I couldn't boot to recovery so I just went to hboot and flash it with adb.
I just reflashed via the bootloader. Everything seems to be running alright now. Thank you.

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?
What recovery are you using?

thank you for replying. I'm using 4EXT Recovery Touch. I make sure I wipe / format everything first everytime.
When you boot into the bootloader does it list your radio version?

yes, it's Radio - 1.48.00.930w_3
Here is the complete list:
MMECHA XD SHIP S-ON
HBOOT - 1.05.0000
MICROP - /
Radio - 1.48.00.930w_3
eMMc - boot
Have you flashed either of the official ICS ota radios? I think you have the wrong baseband.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
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 ... [PG05IMG.zip] screen for about 5 minutes now, I'm about to reboot and try again. I don't understaned the part about having s-off. I know it means security off, but I don't know how to turn it off.

edit: still hangs at the HBOOT checking ... [PG05IMG.zip] screen
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.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
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?
Try flashing a GB ROM.

Yea I can't help you much there. I'm sure someone else might have a link. You could try infectedrom.com. I bet the link to eternity still works
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
I think all I need it to get s-off. I found a rom that is compatible with the radio I have. Is there another way to turn s-off with a bootloader or through recovery?
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.

Hello there
I've been happily flashing and using recoveries for several years now for myself and for others. Never had any real problem. Everything has been generally foolproof. But a few months ago I installed Santos unsense ROM on my phone and today I decided to switch it up to maceks galaxy clone. Well when I went to flash my new ROM I set it all up and hit reboot on EXT4 recovery and the phone just rebooted normally.
I tried again... Reflashed my recovery and eventually went back to clockworkmod. I also tried booting into recovery straight from hboot ... No luck... Anyone got any ideas on what I've screwed up?
