Stuck in bootloop, how do I stop it? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My wife has a Thunderbolt that was given to us about 6 months ago. I rooted it following a guide I found on here and everything has been fine up until now.
The other day it must have downloaded an update and is now stuck in a never ending boot loop. It will boot like normal and somethimes you can use it for a few minutes before it restarts itself and boots into CWM other times you can use it for hours before it does this.
How can I get rid of this update and stop it from doing this?
Please help ASAP, the wife without her phone is like a squeaky wheel without oil.

Can you boot in to the boot loader and see if you still have s off. If so boot in to recovery wipe everything and flash a backup or do a full wipe and load a new ROM. If you was on a custom ROM I can't see how you could of gotten an update as awhile back all devas disabled the ota update on the phone. To boot in to boot loader press power and volume down at the same time.

I didn't flash a custom rom, I just rooted it so she wouldn't get the ads in some of the games she plays.
Yes when I boot into the bootloader S-OFF
I was hoping to just use astro or some other file manager to delete the file that checks for updates or something like that. Is that not an option?
I know it's an update because when it stays on for a while I can watch it attempt the update download, which I can longpress on and press back and it stops it (I think that's what I was doing)

Try wiping cache and delvic cache. If I remember correctly it will clear out the ota that's trying to install but can't because your s off. Worse thing is to do. A full wipe and reload her phone.

If you're running the stock rooted 2.3.6 it may be trying to update. You can stop it by deleting or renaming the otacerts file.

If its there you can just add .bak too the end of the file extension and that will prevent it from workimg

I found 2 of them, but the phone restarted before I could try to rename it. I also found wipe cache partitioni, so I wiped that and dalvik again, we'll see what happens.
This time when it booted it said update failed and so far it is still on. For some reason astro found 2 files (which obviously I can't rename with that program), but root explorer only found one, which I renamed with .bak so........hopefully it worked.
I'll know in a few hours and will post results for future users with this problem.
THANKS!!!!!

So far so good! Thanks to everyone that helped!

If you are going to run rooted stock might want to look for an ota blocker so this doesn't happen again.

No need for it. Renaming otacerts or deleting it does block the ota.

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.

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)

[Q] Constant Reboot, S-OFF, Rooted

So out of the blue my phone starts continuously rebooting. Typically right when it gets to the point where it's loading the unlock ring. Sometimes it will get passed that where I can navigate the phone but will always reboot with 5 minutes. Going on for about 2 days now.
I s-off'd rooted a month ago with no issue until now.
I've already tried reloading the RUU and performing a factory reset, locking/unlocking the boot loader. Re s-offing with no luck.
Any ideas besides attempting a return to sprint or htc?

I would go the the development thread download the stock rooted rom from the 3.16 update. Reboot into recovery wipe system, factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache. Install rom. Reboot
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
Tried that...
I've done everything suggested above, but to no avail. I've tried restoring Nandroids and flashing the stock rooted ROM. None of them make it completely past the boot animation. I get about 3 sec. in, and it reboots. Any ideas? I'm truly stumped, and I REALLY don't want to go back to my back-up phone (I do love my Opti S, but still...). Can anyone help?
EDIT: I've flashed the most recent CM nightly (b/c I was on the milestone when the problems started) and that's where I get the farthest. I can get to the screen where the phone tries to turn on Wifi before it locks up and reboots. As a matter of fact, the problems started this morning when my phone wouldn't connect to Wifi or data. Could a bad wifi radio be the reason for the reboots?
Thanks!

Hmm..tried everything, still reboots. Seems like I can buy myself some time by going airplane mode and turning off NFC. Thinking this is a hardware issue.
Anyone have advice about attempting a return with Sprint or HTC with S-OFF/rooted then back to stock?
Take out your SD card, boot to recovery, wipe everything (data, system, cache, dalvik) and then flash something like cm10 and try fast boot flashing the boot.IMG from the ROM...just for the sake of trying.

[Q] Stuck at launch screem

I have a p4wifi that is stuck in a boot loop. I think the term is 'soft bricked'.
Basically, last night I turned my tab on for the first time in ages, and it all worked fine. I had rooted and flashed custom roms before (I'd been running a nightly of CyanogenMod for a long time, and it worked well), and I considered myself an expert. I updated loads of apps and stuff, and then realised I wanted a new font. I went into ROM manager and found the font I wanted, Ubuntu. It told me there was an update to ClockworkMod recovery so I wen ahead and updated it, checking the thing for Touch (I'd already bought it). That want ahead and it updated, throwing me back into the OS. I then went to get Ubuntu (I downloaded it within ROM manager), and didn't deem it necessary to create a backup, nor wipe anything. It processed it but returned an error, I though ok but never mind and I told it to reboot. Again that worked fine. I realised I was on a very old verson of CyanogenMod (probably ICS, it was around 201304). As I always do, I grabbed the latest version (again, in ROM manager), and elected to install it. I didn't wipe the delvik cache or whatever, and hit 'Reboot into recovery'. That was where the problem occurred. It wouldn't go any further than the 'Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1' boot screen (see attachment) into recovery. A similar thing happened before, but it just eventually went away after an hour or so. This has been running for a day, and there has been no progress. I've tried various key combos, like the normal way to get into recovery, but they won't work.
If I need I could find the instructions I followed, but it would be hard.
Is it completely broken? Can a save my data? Will I have to factory reset it? Will I keep my root/ClockworkMod? Will I keep my rom?
Thanks in advance to the person who can answer this
Do you have any ROM zips in your SD card? If you do, boot into recovery, full wipe and flash it. Piece of advice, don't use the recovery in ROM manager. Download pershoot's version of cwm instead in here. www.droidbasement.com

I have a few nandroid backups, if that counts? I do have a few ROM zips on my SD card too, though. Will a full wipe delete photos etc? I'm guessing it'll get rid of the apps, but that's no problem. But how would I get into recovery? I've already tried to get in with no success.

If you can find a way to get into recovery, then yes you can use your nandroid. You problem now is you can't get into recovery or download mode, right? Well can you try using adb? If you can then type adb reboot recovery in command prompt to reboot to recovery.
Oh yeah, full wipe won't delete photos etc unless you wipe your internal storage/SD card.

Just tried that, when I selected recovery it just turned off
So you can get into download mode?
Download mode, yes. I've got it open now, in fact
Now that's easy. Your tab can't boot because it doesn't have any sort of recovery(don't ask me why I don't know ). Apparently ROM Manager wiped your recovery clean and didn't flash the new one. Just flash cwm or twrp via Odin and try to boot. If it still can't boot, then restore your nandroid. Ironically, the same thing happened to me yesterday when I tried to flash latest twrp using Mobile Odin.

I actually have no idea. I think I used a program similar to Odin that did the job. I remember booting into download more before. Oh yes, I flashed the disk image for the root and CWM using the default windows tool. Anyway, I've fixed it now. I couldn't find a .tar to do the job so I converted a random file to a .tar and flashed it that way, tricking it into thinking it had a recovery and therefore booting. In the OS I used ROM Manager to get CWM.

Have you tried flashing a stock ROM from TWRP?
-------edit----------
I just remembered. This used to happen on the Note 2 at times. If you're booting and get the Samsung splash screen, try going to TWRP and doing a Factory Reset a couple times. No idea if it will work, but with the Note that would usually clear whatever block existed and allow the ROM to boot past the splash screen. Good luck.

If it exists, it would basically be that ROM stuck into a .zip file which could be flashed from TWRP. I'm not sure it exists, was just browsing the Dev thread for you to see if anyone posted it.

If Odin isn't working for you, a solution might be had via TWRP since you can still get into the recovery. If you flash your ROM or try your backup, does the install complete or does it crash? Have you wiped cache, dalvik, system, and data before the flash?
-edit-
Sorry, just saw your OP where you said you wiped and tried. If I were you my next step would be trying a different ROM just to see if you can get something booting.

Trying again. First wiping wiped cache, dalvik, system, and data , then restoring back up. I've tried this multiple times before hopefully it works this time. But generally when i hit reboot system afterward it just hangs at the Samsung Galaxy IV boot screen and does nothing.

After your backup restores, try using TWRP to do a Factory Reset a couple times before rebooting. Also wipe cache/dalvik again before the boot.

Well went to restart the phone and now its stuck on a Samsung logo with a unlocked icon thats says custom underneath it and just sits there.

System status: Custom?

So I was trying to check for a update and my phone keeps telling me that it is modified and can't update. I never rooted or did anything to it yet . has anybody else encounter this?

Run the tar garwynn posted in Development, when it's done, boot into recovery and do a factory data reset, run the tar again. That's what got me back to complete stock so I could update.
