So I followed all the instructions for loading the latest leak. Even flashed it twice, now I am having some serious problems. I can't keep data for more than a few minutes after I reboot. It will show 4G then just go away. Says I have network but it just won't connect. Also seems to be burning through the battery. Oh yeah, it did not see my sim card after the first install when it was doing the first boot up
Any ideas what is going on?????

While your unrooted and stock on the leaked ruu. In hboot not recovery do a factory reset.

thats right still lockked factory
Will do a reboot now
Thanks for the super fast reply!!!
Chris
OK, silly question but do I need to delete the leak off my SD card?? it seems to want to try and reinstall the leak everytime I go in to hboot
Chris
Yeah delete it. As a rule of thumb delete or rename as soon as u finish a update like that.

Worked like a champ!!! Had to go and delete the rom just like you said then did a factory reboot then all seems well!!
Thank you so much

I would just keep the leaked RUU on the card and rename it to something so it won't try to reload it every time you reboot. That way, if something happens and you need to nuke the whole system, the file is already there.
kept the rename on my desktop. can drop it onto the SD quick if needed, thanks for the heads up

I always keep them named properly and just put them in a folder labeled waht they are. When I need to flash I just copy it to the root of the sd card.

Hello all,
I'll be upfront with all of you - it has been a long day for me! First, I shattered my old phone's glass when dropping it to the ground. I then went to Verizon and purchased a Thunderbolt.
At least I was excited to have a new phone! I successfully rooted the phone and then tried to install the BAMF 2.1 ROM using ROM Manager. The upgrade seemed to go properly, but after rebooting, I am now stuck at the Thunderbolt boot screen.
I pulled the battery a whole bunch of times and no luck. I can't seem to find a way to get into a recovery console if possible from here. It's late and any help would be deeply appreciated.
I'll be glad to provide any more details for anyone who is willing to help...
Thanks very much in advance!
--Isaac
How long is it "stuck" before you are pulling the battery? That first boot might take a few minutes.

So after the battery pull then reinserting battery have you tried to get into h_boot by holding the volume down while holding the power down at the same time until you get into h_boot then toggle into recovery?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Okay - Now I've read from the forum that I can get into the bootloader by holding down the power and +/- volume keys. That worked!
Would my best bet be to try and update again?

You need to check the md5 of the rom you downloaded. If it doesn't match the download it and check md5 again. Might not hurt to delete the radio and re download too?

I assume your coming from froyo to ginger bread right? If so did you download the mr2 radio to go with the ginger bread rom?
Edit+ mr2 or mr2.5 radio. Mr2 works better for me...
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Yes - coming from stock rooted froyo. I am aware of the 2 and 2.5 version of the radios, but don't know yet how to install or incorporate them. I will check around right now to figure out how to do that.
Your not flashing the rom as an update right? Also do not flash through rom manager. Use cwr by getting into h_boot recovery the way you just learned by holding the power and volume buttons down.

Flash the radio through cwr. When finished flashing pull the battery and go into cwr again to flash the rom. afterwards re-name or delete the radio file set your up and running

Check md5 of the radio of you can. The radio needs to be in the (root) folder on your sd card our or will not flash properly. The rom should be located in the (download) folder of your sd card.

Happy 4th of July to all!
so i just rooted/flashed my phone with das bamf,
as ive been reading and watching videos people have been flashing the rom before the radio..
so i flashed the rom and was going to reboot with my adb so i could flash the new radio.. but whenever i flashed the rom it rebooted automatically before i could type the reboot command.. so i thought ok this would be fine and i would just do it when the phone rebooted itself..
so when the phone came up i tried to mount as a disk drive and my computer doesnt see the sd card or the phone and my adb doesnt see the phone online either.. so i cant reboot it to flash the radio i need, i still have the stock radio on here so i dont have any service right now..
so i either need to know how to make the adb recongnize my phone.. or i need to know if their is a way to reboot into the bootloader so i can flash the radio.. its already on my sd card and everything. thanks!
Hold volume down while pressing power will get you
to the boot loader.
Thank you so much man, i just did it and flashed my radio and now everything is working and im becoming in love with this rom!

Select internet pass through, then give it 15-20secs. Then change to sdcard. That is a little trick they mentioned in one of the threads.

No need to start over. Just pick up where you left off. The computer crashed, not the phone. Since you already downgraded, all you need to do is pick up in the directions where you left off. No damage has been done to your phone because your computer has nothing to do with flashing updates from the bootloader.

If you just finished the downgrade, check Settings->Applications->Development to make sure Debugging is on and fastboot is off.
Also make sure you are in htc sync mode
Sent from my rooted stock OTA MR2 Thunderbolt
when i rooted my phone on sunday, i had a random reboot of my phone as soon as the downgrade was loaded. After that, the phone would show as offline in adb.
What i did to remedy that was to turn "USB Debugging" off, wait, then turn it back on. Then check if it shows up as online. Repeat this process until it works.

If it doesn't go right, make sure you start all the way over from the beginning. I don't know why, but this phone was a pain in the butt to get rooted. It took me a good six or seven tries before it finally worked for me.
Oh, also, for some reason you'll probably need to enable check "unknown sources" in applications before you'll be able to copy stuff to the SDcard. that freaked me out the first time I stumbled across this problem.

It's pretty straight forward if you follow the step by step root guide instead of trying one of the scripts that have become oh so popular.
And I'm not sure about the "unknown sources" to copy to sdcard. The only reason you should need that is to actually install an apk that wasn't dl'ed through market.

For some reason after downgrading I wasn't getting the option to copy stuff to my SD card, i would charge but it wouldn't detect the connection.
I was following the guide.
The only reason I say put it in htc sync mode is because my phone shows offline unless it is in htc sync mode. Odd though.

Rooting problem also
I have tried and tried and tried to root my Thunderbolt. I have followed the guide on xda to a T. The problem is this, once you get to step 4 where you boot to the bootloader and try to get the PG05IMG.zip to load, it loads it[blue status bar] checks it[gold status bar] then back to the hboot bootloader screen. Also i should note that when i put the file on my sd card the md5sums match, but after the process in hboot bootloader, they don't match. Oh, and i have asked in the irc chatroom also, they tell me im doing it wrong. Should note also tried to pull the ota update and no go either. It downloads and fails everytime! Bought the phone off of craigslist so no warranty, just would like to root because the phone force closes every program i bring up on it and its frustrating me. Thanx Dra$tiK
Well for the force closing problem, just try to do a factory reset on the phone. As far as the ruu failing in hboot, it sounds like maybe the misc.img file you pushed didn't take. Try restarting the whole process over again, and also redownloading the downgrade.

No it is name PG05IMG.zip on my sd card.. this must be a common problem at least im hoping it is.. and a fixable one at that
I think i might have got to comfortable with my phone and possibly screwed something up in the process.
I recently have been Installing and Removing various ROMS on my phone so I can find one I am happy with and stick to as a DAILY.
I recently deleted from the SD Card all the folders in it besides DCIM, MUSIC, and my own Media. I figured its just an SD Card even if I removed it the phone should still operate. But I haven't touched anything Internally on the phone itself. Just always making CLEAN installs before installing ROMS under Amon Ra WIPE ALL. Which it skips my SD.
So for some reason now I have no Mobile Network on my phone it says its Disconnected. It also shows Full bars but with a TRIANGLE
over it now. I want to go back to regular data. I have a Nandroid Backup of my HTC Rezounds FACTORY ICS Build. While it help if I reverted to that? and started over with the ROM I like?
Have you tried long pressing on Mobile Network in settings and seeing if you it shows LTE/CDMA?
It does, and it is selected.
Take a look at this.
I found a way to take it off of ROAMING. In system select I switched the CDMA ROAMING MODE from Automatic B (I think it was) to Home.
I have a feeling it has something to do with a rom I installed last night. MIUI it might have change some options in the phone internal system
to thinking its not in the US. Im running stock ICS HTC at the moment from my NAN backup of Amon Ra. But at the moment its showing FULL SIGNAL BARS
& then seconds later no Signal Bars with an X over it. The verizon wireless rep told me that I was connecting to their SERVERS. I can also make calls but only under Automatic B settings in Roaming.
Im not sure what to do at this point. I wish there was someway I could reset the phone SIGNAL OR DATA OR CONNECTION SETTINGS or radio or something. o DEFAULT. I even reset back to my NANDROID Backup and WIPED all before I did that and I was still having the same problem. It doesnt make sense to me unless its a TOWER near by that is Out of order.

i would say start from scratch, flash the global ruu twice, pull the. zip followed by a factory reset. thats what I would do, if I was in your shoes.

Or reflash your ROM. If you can do a dirty flash you can just flash over it and I think you won't lose your set up. That should restore any necessary folders/files if that's the issue.
Oh! What about this... Format it in recovery or via your phone in settings. Since there's that option it should put whatever is needed on there.
If you can't tell, I'm just brainstorming here... I don't know what the files and folders are but seems to me formatting it from within the phone should work or why would you be able to do it?
EDIT: I just reread your post where you posted the pic. I guess you probably have more issues than just the ext sd. Probably best to RUU it and get back to stock and start from scratch. Then you know it's all good and clean.
Thanks

You don't need to factory reset after running the RUU, it puts it all back to factory stock anyway. Relock before you run it:
fastboot oem lock
And after it's done you'll need to unlock again and flash a recovery, root, then flash custom rom.

Are you S-On or Off? If S-On, your nandroid may have missed a file that is necessary that can only be replaced by flashing a RUU. Just throwing ideas against the wall.
If I remember correctly, a nandroid from S-On can't touch the kernel and coming from MIUI there may be files that are missing or modified.
In that case, you may be able to pull the stock boot.IMG from the RUU you were on and push that to restore the files.

The android police website did have the RUU files but they are .zip only to flash in recovery they where PH98IMG.zip files.
So im not sure what to do.

Quoted the wrong post this is for the zip files.
You should only have to shorten the name to PH98IMG. All the RUUs I've seen are some longer name (usually the name of the site hosting them_PH98IMG.)
Then just place it on the root of your external SD and boot into Hboot.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Are you still working on this?
You should be able to RUU from a zip file. Just make sure it's named PH98IMG.zip, put it on your card and then boot into hboot. It should find that file and run it. Let it run through a few times, do its thing and it should reboot when it's done.

I did try going into recovery wiping the whole phone wiping my sd card and then placing the zip file in my sd card. I then booted into H boot and from ADB locked my phone rebooted and then it started to read the zip file and reinstalled to factory reset. I let it reinstall the files let it do its thing it restarted a couple of times reinstalled everything needed went back into the lock screen and was still having the same issue till now. But it's okay because I called Verizon Wireless spoke with him on the phone and I still have my extended warranty on the phone and they concluded that it was a hardware issue so I got to replace my phone for free lol

Although the problem wasnt solved I still appreciate everyone's help on the matter.

Go to phone dialer and put *#*#3646#*#* then go to phone information. Look for a drop down menu and make sure its on CDMA/LTE Only (or anything really with CDMA and LTE in it, that specific one may not show up on your list depending on what ruu your on.) That changes the specifics of how the radio operates incoming connections. Set your data settings back to HOME and turn off roaming. Lemme know if that works.

I tried flashing the Mean Bean rom. I'm not a noob when it comes to flashing, but I made a noob mistake. I just got my phone and forgot to image before I wiped and tried flashing. The rom was stuck at "format /system" for 20 minutes. I held down the power button, and now, since I didn't image the stock, I can't start the phone (it gets stuck at the white screen) and now when I try to install the rom again, the zip is missing.
I have no idea what to do next. I am downloading all of the ruu files and I'm going to run each one until one works, but I'm not sure if that's even going to fix the problem.
Any help would be more than appreciated.

Can you expand a little bit? I went into settings and there wasn't anything there to mount. I went into mount and marked "mount SDCard," and I went back to install and nothing popped up. I do have a ROM on my SD card, but its not the same rom. Its a rom I know that works.
EDIT: I noticed it was wanting to use an internal SD card, not an external. Switched it, and bam, works. I'll let you know if it flashes properly. Thank you for the help. This forum is the best, without a doubt. Never lets me down.

Got it to flash properly. Thank you again everyone, especially gmoe65!
Do you have any data you need or can you do full wipe? if that is possible this is a easy way to flash a ruu. 1 download the ruu from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744700&highlight=how+to+root the one that is titled PJ75IMG.zip 2. you will need to put it on your external sd card somehow ( easy way would be taking it out of phone and putting it in a different one then move it using that phone, or mabye using twrp recovery if possible make sure it is the external sd though), make sure you put it on the root of the external sd card. 3. boot into bootloader and the file should be recognized and it will ask you if you want to processed click volume up for yes this will bring you back to stock ics and it will also flash a image to the phone. hope this helps
