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.

Thanks for the quick reply! How would I get into download mode. And I was on froyo before.. Shouldn't I download a froyo based rom?
Yeah I did not think we have Odin for HTC phones, and I already have the stock zip file on my MicroSD card but my screen will not turn on at all. I can not get into anything. Any advice?
Talk to jcase. Hopefully you have some adb knowledge.

OK thanks for the replies. Do you think the Verizon warranty center people will actually go to the trouble of getting it to work and then charge me full retail for a new one if they see it is rooted. 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 (
Call back and tell em you accidentally dropped it out of moving vehicle and that it was run over 5 times...and that it was raining outside. Then pay your deductible.

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 bricked my Note, I was flashing cwm based recovery when it hung, screen went black and sat there for about 15 minutes before I decided to do the dumb thing of pulling the battery. Now it won't turn on, but there's good news! I hope. I get a driver sound and error when plugging it in, so it is recognizable. When checking Computer Management, I show a QHUSB_DLOAD under Other but the phone won't connect at all. Any ideas?
Have you tried putting it in download mode and see if Odin recognizes it?
Sent from my GALAXY NOTE LTE
On my vibrant and my behold 2 (both Samsung devices)
I took out the battery and plugged the USB in while holding the buttons for dl mode and it would get out of the soft brick. Once it goes into dl mode, pop the battery in, Odin should recognize it, and flash away.
Don't know if it will work, but it sounds like you didn't hard brick it

It won't turn on to get into DL mode. I tried to see if Odin would see it but nope. I was hoping there was another driver to allow it to see it.
Thanks for the idea, it didn't boot though. It tries, it makes the sound of the USB being inserted but then makes the error sound for failed drivers. I wouldn't think it's a hard brick either, but even my JIG won't get it to boot.
i had a hard brick after flashing a kernel. not sure what the problem was but it wouldnt go into download mode, so i pulled the battery for about 5 minutes and it went into download mode and odin recognized my phone.
Would the phone turn on? I'll give it a try. I've left it out for 30 seconds and that didn't work, I'll let it go longer.

I left it out for awhile, I think I'll see if Best Buy will give me a new phone tomorrow. I just found a thread on the other note side that had this same issue, he ended up not being able to fix it too. Thanks for trying to help though, it's what makes XDA what it is.

That's what I planned on doing. lol. If nothing else, I could sign up for their black tie program, come back monday during my lunch and get it swapped then and they could say nothing about it.
An update on the situation, I left the battery out of the phone overnight and tested it when I woke up, nothing. So I took the phone to BB and they said they wouldn't take it back unless I wanted to spend $170 to replace it. I took it to AT&T and they did everything they thought would get it to work, it wouldn't naturally, so they warrantied it and I have a new one coming in a few days.

Ive never heard of anyone getting radioshacks insurance and I sell phones. A quick google search on their protection showed class action suits against them for misrepresenting their protection. Oh and it's more expesive them best buys lol
And to the OP, you could have also done the monthly best buy protection instead of the 170 2 year plan, they could have also replaced it under manufacturers warranty for your situation. I hate when people work for the same company as me and are uneducated at their jobs.
Glad all is well but for future reference what should you have done? I mean, if i flash something and it goes wrong, the first thing I'd do would be pull the battery. What should we do?

If you were hard bricked, your phone wouldn't have booted. A hard brick is a permanent thing. What you had was a soft brick.

Best Buy is pretty good about exchanges. Whatever you do, DON'T tell them what you did. Just say your phone got really hot, froze, and wouldn't turn back on again.

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 >.<
im on my first, soon to be second. the big crack ive had for a month now is getting on my nerves. time to call up the insurance....

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 .

I am expecting my 4th Rezound in a little over two weeks. Each one was not able to lock onto a 3G signal not to mention 4G. And after the 3rd Rezound they sent me a Razr Maxx with the same issue, did not like the Maxx any way. They and I are scratching our heads on how unlucky it has been. Before you say anything, yes all setting were correct, I even stop using custom roms and either way 4 phones with signal issues yet my ole Fassy still locks onto a 3g.

Try unplugging everything connected to the phone, removing the battery, and then hold the power button for around 15 seconds, then reinsert the battery. Try turning it on again. I'm sure there are other things you can try doing, but this is the first thing that comes in my mind.

Since it stopped turning on have u tried her battery in your phone or your battery in hers? Maybe its just her battery gone bad, which is very common

So does her battery run your phone? If it does then its not the battery, return it under warranty, I dont think there's anything else you can do
Tried the trick with pulling the battery and hitting power, no dice. Doesn't matter which battery is in either, it won't turn on. All I want to do at this point is have it on long enough to get any useful data from the internal storage.
And stupidly, I DID NOT opt in for the protection plan thru TMO.

You could try removing the battery, then putting the battery back in, and then plug the usb cable to the computer (so the amaze and the computer is connected to each other), and then try turning it on.
This probably won't turn on the phone, but if you do see something on the computer, something like its trying to install drivers, then you MAY have a chance.

you don't need the protection plan, that will cover you if you lose it/break it etc. You should have 1 yr warranty, so taking it back shouldn't be a problem. How long have you had the phone? Its still not a year old yet..
Ok, I'll contact HTC. Thank you all for your suggestions
Yup HTC is your only option, T-Mobile doesn't cover if you don't have insurance.

Lol, not really. He never stated how long he's had it. And if he's had it less than a year (which is the case for everyone since the phone is less than a year old) he can call T-Mobile and they will most likely send him a new one and have him send his back. All I'm saying is that u saying T-Mobile won't do anything for u if u dont have insurance is not true.

If it's past the 30 days, they'll tell him to call HTC directly if he doesn't have insurance, how I know this? Read past post about phone replacements with no insurance, it's a lucky few who get replacements from T-Mobile despite being past that thirty day period, HTC one year warranty is not upheld by T-Mobile, if anything happens to your device past the thirty days, they always ask or check if you have handset insurance coverage, js since even when I spoke to a rep about replacing the battery on my old amaze, which was merely two months old, he told me since I didn't have insurance on it, I'd have to call HTC directly since it was still under the one year warranty but my sister called about her g2x that didn't have insurance and wasn't even bought from T-Mobile about 6months old and got a replacement in like 5 minutes without any hostile arguments, just a simple my device isn't working and they sent her a replacement, understand where I'm getting at?
Hey guys, just to clarify...we got our phones in May 2012. And I'm pretty much screwed at this point now that my wife let my 3yr old play with it thinking it was totally fried. She threw it and cracked the display. I had a chance at having HTC diagnose it as an internal issue; now they are gonna think it was a user issue.

In my opinion you have two choices here:
1) You could still try to talk to HTC. Explain to them that it was not responding before the screen got cracked and see where it gets you
2) Go to a local repair shop and get the screen/digitizer replaced. It shouldn't cost you more that a 100 bux. Then talk to HTC for the possible internal issue.
Hope that helps!
I flashed newest deck cm 11/24 build. And Komodo kernel rls 20. I was using it for an hour or two. And then it went into random reboots. Now the phone rebooted one last time and turned off. I think its bricked. I installed the same way as i always have. Didnt install the wrong rom or kernel. I cant get to boot loader or recovery. No charging light. Ive tried holding down the power button, power and volume down etc no luck.
Anyone have any other ideas?
And if it is bricked whats the best way to get it replaced? go through sprint or htc without the least amount of trouble. I do have the Total Equipment Protection from sprint
anyone?
It's possible your battery is borked, leave it on the charger overnight. I'd that doesn't work your best bet is telling insurion you lost it. Pay your deductible, and you get another evo. Keep your old one for parts.

even if it was rebooting it could have been the battery being messed up? Because the charge was full. It just seems really weird.
And should i even go to the store to replace it or get help, or will they just tell me to call or go online to file a claim.
Or just dont bother with going to the store and because i did root my phone and its unlocked etc, and with the insurance they dont care?
Yes, the battery can cause reboots. If you can't get into recovery. Try to run the latest ruu, if your phone won't even respond to that. File a claim, play dumb. I said to claim lost because it's easier than playing dumb lol
