Good Morning All,
I'm wondering if anyone would be able to assist me. I recently installed CM10.1 on my I777 and all was fine until this afternoon when it suddenly began losing mobile network connectivity. One minute I have full bars, the next, nothing; it happens every few seconds or so. I thought that maybe it was the rom causing issues or the modem (had UCKH7 installed at the time), so I decided to revert back to Stock ICS (the build compiled by AJ Newkirk, normal, rooted stock), but the problem still remained. I tried flashing a different modem other than the UCLE5 that comes as default in the ICS build (flashed UCKH7), but that didn't work either. Finally, I decided to use creepyncrawly's guide and revert back to stock Gingerbread but still the problem remains. At this point I'm wondering if there is anything else that can be done to get the phone fully functional again; maybe it needs to be opened or something? Getting it replaced via warranty is out of the question due to my location so if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

I would highly advise you that it's your network provider, not your phone. Had the same problem traveling over here in Afghanistan suddenly. Called the provider and they fixed it. So I suggest waiting a day if you can, then calling customer support.

I'm not so sure, because I tried my wife's sim in the phone and still had the same problem, but both our sims work fine in her S2 and an old Blackberry 9300 I had laying around. I'll still give it a try though... thanks for the response.
Another possible thing to try that has worked wonders for me is to go to recovery. Advanced. Fix Permissions. I had my signal cutting out in the middle of calls and that fixed it for me. Hope it helps.

Just to be clear, there was no physical impact to the phone, right?
Flashing new modems can make a difference, but it's pretty marginal; it won't create signal.

Nope, no impact to the device whatsoever.
FWIW, I tried swapping the rear of mine and the wife's S2's since the antenna is located at the base of the device along with the loudspeaker. I got the same problem when I did. I placed the rear of mine onto hers and her device gets full signal strength. Therefore, I have to conclude that there is something wrong with the board itself on mine. I'll probably try and see if I can get an I777 off of Ebay for parts and make the necessary changeouts. If it's too pricey, I'll just abandon it and get a new phone. Thanks all for the suggestions/assistance guys. :good:

So what you're suggesting is that there may be a remote possibility that something in CM10.1 is triggering this issue? If someone else chimes in with the same issue, then we could say for sure, but otherwise we just look like two random cases. Did you try any of the stuff I did? Maybe you might have more luck than me.

Lol... I hear you man... I think I've tried everything I can think of except throwing it against the wall or dropping it a couple feet off the ground.. lol.
Just an update.... I did some more flashing between returning it to stock rooted GB, then ICS, then I decided to flash ShoStock 3. Afterwards I put the phone to charge since the battery had run down to about 20% and when I checked back a few minutes later, it was super hot.. so hot in fact, that the phone refused to charge the battery stating that it was too hot to do so. So I unplugged it, removed the rear cover to allow it to cool down and left it alone for a while. Later on when it was much cooler, I checked it and noticed that the cell reception was no longer cutting in and out, but I was still skeptical. However, after a couple hours, as of this post, it still works as it should, even after rebooting. I plan to flash a different rom tomorrow to see if it holds out which may be kinda risky, but after what happened today, I'm confident that it will.:fingers-crossed:

...you've got one messed up phone.
I know right? It didn't hold out anyways and is still giving the problem, but I finally figured out after doing some serious googling, reading and part swapping that it's the board that is causing all the problems. I was thinking of ordering a replacement board I found on ebay, but it would make more sense to just put the extra and buy another s2 on auction.... They're pretty cheap now anyways.

I was using AJ Newkirk's Semi 18 and I experienced occasional loss of the cell radio - no calls or texts. A reboot would fix. I think it also happened when I used a different ICS ROM but it never happened when my S2 was stock. I'm now using ShoStock3, a JB based ROM, and haven't had any occurrence. In fact, this is the fastest and most stable ROM I've ever used.
Just wanted to chime in. My network loss is fixed now. Turns out I had a dying sim card! It fully died today overnight so I woke up with no network at all. I thought my phone ****ted out but bam! New sim card and I'm golden

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
Adam

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.

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?

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 don't know what happened. All of a sudden, my phone's WiFi functionality is totally shot.
No access points are detected, and when I try to switch WiFi on and off again, the phone locks up and reboots.
The last time I had flashed something was a week ago. I haven't even downloaded any new apps recently.
I was on jokersax's CM9 0.6.9.2 and 1.0 GHz kernel. After wiping data/cache, re-flashing joker's CM9, upgrading joker's CM9 to 0.6.9.3, and switching to faux's latest 1.0 GHz kernel, the problem persists.
Could I possibly have fried the WiFi chip on this thing somehow? It sounds crazy, but there were virtually no software changes made to the device prior to the incident.
Have you a nandroid backup of a rom with working wifi? I had same problem several times and restoring a backup with it working has always fixed mine.

I had the same. Mine just kept getting worse, until the phone kept rebooting at every phone call, and eventually every few minutes. Called warranty, and the said it is well documented problem and replaced both of my atrix phones. They said it was a hardware issue.

That's unfortunate. Well, at least I know I'm not an isolated case.
So after charging overnight, WiFi worked for like 5 minutes, then proceeded to cut out again and continually reboot the phone until I turned off WiFi.
I would just send it to Moto, but of course their refurb/replacement units are bootloader locked... I doubt they'll even replace an unlocked device.
Looks like I'm screwed.

I mean, the problem just started randomly; I was running that version of CM9 for a week already, so I doubt the ROM is the issue. I suppose I can try, though (if I even have a recent nandroid backup...heh)
Mine was unlocked and rooted. Just flash the latest sbf, and send it in. That returns it to locked stock.

Yeah, that's the main reason.
So it seems Wi-Fi isn't 100% toasted. After a few cycles of toggle on, toggle off, toggle on, toggle off, lockup and reboot, toggle off, toggle on, lockup and reboot, toggle on, etc., I can end up connecting to Wi-Fi. It works, but then locks up and reboots after some amount of time (5-10 minutes usually) and then it doesn't connect anymore.
I don't know how, but maybe this could be a software issue? Could some system file that governs Wi-Fi have gotten corrupted somehow by some random process? Is there some system file I should check? Maybe flash a radio? I don't know.
All I know is that I'm gonna easily blow through my 2GB cap if I don't remedy this somehow.
(EDIT: My Smart Keyboard Pro settings got randomly wiped about the same time this started happening, but I have no idea how that could relate...)
EDIT2: Well, never mind, I found the thread in the Dev forum that has a bunch of people talking about this issue. Case closed, I guess, to some extent.
I unlocked the bootloader of the new phone. So, seems to me it is the way to go. Let them send you the new phone. Had to combine a few of the unlock methods, but everything is fine.

That makes two of us then. Its still worth a try, because you can't hardly use the phone the way it is. At least with warranty you get a new one. If you are worried about bricking it leave it alone. At least it is useable.

Very well, I stand corrected. I read the posts when they were first posted but didn't follow them to the point that there was a resolution.
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 >.<

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.

You sure it's not a bad SIM card? That would explain having the issue across two different phones.

I have an unusual issue that I can't really find an answer for....other than it's shot which I hope is not the case :\ Anyways a while back I had some battery issues that caused the phone to go a little haywire. One of the issues was the usb port started getting worse and worse until finally it stopped working completely. So I bought a couple new batteries with an external charger to cope with the bad usb port. Then finally after watching a couple videos and doing some research I replaced the usb port myself. It wasn't difficult at all since I've done work on my iPhones and stuff. Well now we come to my problem. When I plug my phone in it does nothing if it's ON. I've tried wiggling the cord a little but nothing, no charging or connection to the computer with multiple cables. However if I plug my phone in when it's OFF then it comes on automatically and charges just fine with no issues but there's still no connection to any computer....so I can ONLY charge the phone if it is off first. o.0
I just restored it today hoping that it was a firmware issue and it might be fixed but the restore didn't do anything but take me back to 2.3.6 (it only restored the firmware actually all my files were still there....). And with no usb connectivity I can't upgrade to ICS.....but the biggest issue I would like to get fixed is just getting connectivity to a PC via usb.....if that's possible.
Any ideas? let me know if you need more info. Thanks!
UPDATE: I rooted the phone and installed clockworkmod and wiped the whole phone hoping it was firmware glitch and a fresh install would do the trick. Well I formatted the whole phone and installed the official 4.0.4 firmware but it's still having the same problem. So I wiped it again and installed SuperNexus (looks awesome and works great btw great work to all involved ) however I still have the same issue.
But the thing that I don't understand is the usb port worked like a charm when I plugged it in for Odin but it just won't work when it's on. I've searched for this and I know it's a common issue but nothing I found was quite the same problem or had an answer. Any ideas?
So nobody has ANY ideas? This is the best place I've ever found for android help. I came here when I wanted to root my tablet and never went anywhere else because you guys really seem to know your stuff. And yet no one has anything to say about this? I would even welcome someone telling me I'm screwed and there's nothing that could be done at least I would know and wouldn't be sitting here in the dark....

Honesty, it sounds like you got a bum replacement part. Perhaps the data pins on the port are damaged or the ribbon cable isn't in all the way.

Well I checked the part multiple times so I know it's not a matter of it not being plugged in or attached completely. I was starting to assume it's either a bad replacement part or there's something else on the motherboard where there's a problem somewhere between the usb port and the phones firmware. However I've always thought that if anything is wrong in the motherboard itself that it causes more than just one problem like this....
Is there a possible more reliable place where I can order a new part? I searched but I could really find and official store or anything I mine was the only one I found on eBay.
Thanks for your suggestions btw I would like to get this fixed as everything else on the phone works perfect except this....

I have an I777 that I fixed using parts from http://www.cellphonerepairshop.com/ All the parts I bought from this shop were all good. Good luck!

Oh yea the site looks a lot more reliable. They even have a repair service which is nice. Thanks for the help guys and/or gals! Even if it's not fixed at least I have some more reassurance to my own speculations.
So last night, my phone decided that it would no longer like me to use it. The screen is a full screen of (for lack of a better term) rainbow snow. It is pixelated. I can't see anything except the snow. I have gotten it to show my lock screen by kind of tweaking the phone by bending slightly. When I get the lock screen, the touch screen no longer works. I can hit the power button to turn the screen off, and then again to only get the snow. I am thinking it's probably a hardware issue. I haven't dropped it or gotten it wet. Which leads me to my next question. I am rooted and running CM 10.1. I can't get in to recovery mode to restore to a stock ROM. If I take it in to Sprint for repair/replacement will they have a way of seeing I am running a ROM and decide they wont't work on my phone?

Is it possible that you CAN get into recovery and you just don't know it because you can't see it? Work with me here.
If you can power down the phone, try powering up into bootloader/fastboot and try to flash an appropriate RUU from fastboot/usb. Just a shot in the dark...

That is a very good chance. I will give it a shot tonight. Thanks for the idea.
I pretty much have no idea what to do now. My phone won't mount the SD card on any computer. The phone recognizes the SD card, i just wont mount it. When trying to use RUU i just get the error 170. So, i guess i will be dropping my phone off at sprint and hope for the best.
Same issue. Was running Carbon which is cm based. Tried everything, nothing worked. Took it to the Sprint store yesterday and they got me a refurbished LTE. I'm thinking of getting the HTC one but can't afford it right now. Refurb phone works alright so I'll just keep it for know but I know what you're going through. it sucks and although the ROM worked awesome it may have been the culprit.

The tech thought it was a connection issue with the display, but he couldn't get it fixed and thinks the motherboard went bad. They are replacing the phone with a new one, but they are backordered so I have to wait a week.
Yeah but what caused all of our phones to have the same issue that doesn't exist on sense roms? Kernel overpowering the motherboard causing it to fry?
