My thunderbolt got stuck in boot loop about a week later after flashing Liquid ICS MR3V1. If I attempt to reboot the phone numerous times it will eventually boot up and work fine. The phone will not allow me to get into recovery - it will just go into boot loop once recovery is selected. I did manage to get the phone to go into recovery one time and I wiped everything and installed an infected eternity rom that I have been running for a long time without any issues. I thought I was okay once I flashed this rom but when I restarted the phone it went into the boot loop sequence again. Currently after 15+ attempts at starting the phone I got it to boot up without the SD card. I rooted my thunderbolt through revolutionary...if it matters?
From reading other threads it appears I need to install an RUU? Can I just install a RUU that will not un root my phone or do I need to change my modded Hboot, go back to s on and unroot? I flashed roms numerous times without issues and I always wipe multiple times and I am not sure what happened here. Unfortunately I do not have any backups to revert back to -- since I read flashing an RUU without the proper steps can brick my phone I wanted to seek advice to make sure I do it properly.
ys RUU can help you . just my own thought.
good luck to you :laugh:

Sounds like something is just wrong with you recovery. Try flashing another recovery. Also, IF you're using the boot manager app, it may be acting up. If the boot manager app is on your phone, I'd recommend removing it.

Do you mean try re installing cwm? I currently can't get into cwm because it goes into the boot loop sequence. I will try this later tonight and see if it helps. I do not have a boot manager app, I believe when I rooted through revolutionary it modifies hboot? (I have been rooted for over a year now withoutproblems)

No, boot manager is just an application from the play store.
Yes, try downloading cwm recovery again.

Update - I reinstalled CWM and got the phone into recovery, and did a reset, wiped everything and got stuck in boot loop. I eventually got the phone to boot up and I deleted a couple roms, etc in my download folder. After this was done I power cycled the phone twice without any issues.

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)

Have you tried an ruu?

Ok, I'll try to be short about this.
I did the RegawMOD method and was able to install Liquid Smooth on the phone. (1.45)
When I was going to install an update for that things when odd. (I always back up, reset and wipe before hand)
The update didn't take however I was able to the home screen. As it was weird I went back to restore and the Trwp did not back up correctly. The file was bad.
I was able to get back to the home screen and then setup my phone. I decided to wait for a while until the roms grew up a bit.
Now I was going to install Mean 1.4 today so I downloaded as the post said and installed the radio. Downloaded the rom. When into recovery backup, reset and wiped. When I tried to flash the rom TWRP just started rebooting.
I have tried it several times and also tried to recover and TWRP keeps rebooting. Now I am stuck on the HTC screen.
What do I do now? I feel the recovery is bad.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Maybe a bad recovery flash or corupt download.. Try reflashing recovery through fastboot, download the ROM again, do a FULL wipe and reflash the ROM.

Thankfully I was able to install an earlier backup so at least I am running now. I have tried using Goo Manger to reinstall twrp 2.2. Just stays stuck at the download.
I haven't used the fastboot method before so I'll have to look that up. I want to get to mean 1.4 as included the OTA fixes because I have the wifi issue. Guess I'll have to wait until I have more time.
Thanks for the help.
Ok so I got goo manager to reflash the recovery.
Now I am on mean 1.4 and very happy. No more WiFi issues either!
Finally as useable as my OG EVO and dandy like this phone was ment to be.
Thanks for the help and thanks developers.

i just upgraded to 2.2.1 and now my phone keeps rebooting when i try to do anything with system (wipe or write a new rom). phone continually rebooting, if my current rom tries to load phone reboots again.
when i plug in light does not come on...
any ideas or is this thing dead? i can still get into recovery and have some battery life just not sure what to do... already reflashed recovery
seems like my /system/ is hosed not sure how to fix if possible
tried nandroid restore.. it reboots
tried to reflash existing.. it reboots
i can still get into recovery though but if i do anything with 'system' it reboots
any ideas how to get that fixed or probably have to replace? i cant even overwrite my custom boot logo. ugh lol

thanks im downloading the RUU..
How exactly did you update to the newest base?
Figured I would update this thread in hopes of helping someone else if they get stuck here.
I had upgraded to the new base with PJ75IMG and that went well - had used other ROMs on that new base.
What had happened was I was flashing venom on TWRP 2.2.0 and it rebooted phone when it hit system (why system was damaged in first place not sure, i had just rebooted into recovery).
I had to oem lock, ruu, oem unlock (even though it said s-off for lazypanda it was not working) and then i was able to re-flash twrp (this time pushed 2.2.1 through fastboot).
I've put a lot of evo's in bad spots but the behavior I saw on this was new for me.. Anything I touched 'system' from twrp or if my rom tried to load, phone would cycle. Light would NOT go on when plugged in.
Either way rocking new rom and am good! thanks guys
I unlocked my bootloader, flashed with Trickdroid, found some bug, then I decided to try the Renovation HD Rom. Got frozen during Aroma twice. Then I rebooted twice. Now my device is half-bricked. I can't get into recovery anymore. Tried CWM, TWRP. doesn't work. everytime I tried to get in recovery, it will just jump to the HTC screen. and after the HTC screen, it will reboot itself, and keep looping...
I want to try to restore using RUU, but there is NO RUU for AT&T version now.
I can't get in recovery, I can't get in the system.... I am stuck. Hopeless now.
Am I the first to brick a HTC ONE?
After 5 hours of struggling, IT got into the recovery again!!!!!!!!! didn't know what I did to make it work. and flashed with Renovation HD Rom and working now.
Update: If you keep getting boot loop, or can't get into recovery, try the ALL IN ONE kit and use the "erase cache", that fix my problem, and I learned it the hard way..

Use android debugging USB push over image may need to add time delay to allow next available time there is an opening to load image.

Hi I am a complete noob and just got my HTC one and went way to fast with rooting my phone and may have a bricked phone as well. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the clockwork mod recovery using the all in one kit. I proceeded to boot into the bootloader, and then went into the recovery. I backed up my phone at the point using clock work mod. I then wiped my phone to factory settings and wiped the cache. At that point I forgot that I had not put my ROM that I wanted to use on the phone storage. So i pressed reboot now. Obviously this was a mistake because there is nothing on the phone to boot off of. Now I have an HTC One that is not turning on no matter what I do and I have no idea where to start. Anybody know where I can start? It is also worth mentioning that I made another noob mistake by starting this process with 35% on my phone so is it possible that it is out of battery and not able to charge?
Charge battery copy ROM to SD card press volume up and power look for clockwork mod recovery go to SD card and install rom . Hopefully nothing more is required. Don't panic if clockworkmod is giving you brick sign usually its a sign you have wrong clockwork mod installed.

First, if you have a back up, restore just the system partition (this will also format your current /system) Then do a factory reset and reboot. Now I if that doesn't work, Odin is your best bet.

FOR anyone installing Hyperdrive, the most probable cause of boot loop in the Walkman Music App. Don't choose it in Aroma!!!
If you already have, the only way to fix the boot loop is to ODIN back to stock, as Dark Menace suggested.
He can PM you the stock image, which you will have to flash in ODIN to successfully boot up again.
hey I do plenty of flashing, and from time to time get into trouble... But ODIN is not the first choice to fix... Please read the forums:cyclops:
Sent a few PM's to see if that helps. You can try the kernels first then go from there.
