Lost data after Beast 4.3 / or to sideloading and dirty-installing the M7 rom. Flashing different roms/radios made no difference.
SOLUTION TO DATA LOSS:
LakerStar25 said:
Just a heads up to anyone that's on the Verizon version having extreme data loss. If you messed with your apn it could have screwed something up were you might need to run the RUU to fix. It happened to me and micromod. So if that has happened and have tried to get data back and nothing has worked you will need to
1. Nandroid then install the pre ota hboot
2. Relock
3. Backup internal memory then Run RUU
4. After RUU finishes do a factory reset.
5. Reboot and data should be back.
6. Unlock if desired or just install ENG hboot and install recovery and flash your nandroid and good to go.

Was running Newt's M7, and flashed beast 4.1 fine, wanted to try flashing beast 4.3
After flash it began to boot-loop and ( foolishly ) without a backup I had to use ADB sideload to reflash M7. That worked, but now I have no data, it won't detect the sim card. Tried reflashing the radios+hboot ( yes unlocked and S-off ) to no avail.
Backed up to a stock rom made after S-off but that also doesn't have data ( and keeps yelling "droid" every 10 seconds ).

at this point I would suggest going back and read the flashing your recovery. Then after you do that go back in and try and flash kernel again.seems like all your problems are caused by bad last of the kernel.

I have spent the whole day flashing and trying to get my data back. I am so happy that LakerStar took the time to write out those steps. After flashing RUU there was still no data, but factory reset afterwards did the trick!

I was running A05PTH3ORY V1.4X and wanted to put on a new kernel to see if I could get better batter life. I flashed Tiamat's kernel and everything seemed to work fine for a little while while it was sitting on my desk. About 30 minutes later I reached over to unlock it and nothing, it had shut off.
I go to turn it on and I get a boot loop on the white HTC screen. I get into recovery to restore a backup and it get a minute into the restore and automatically reboots. So I try again but wipe data/cache first, same thing. So I try to just install a new ROM, same thing, reboots.
Don't know where to go from here....any help?
Can I rename a ROM to PG05IMG.zip and flash it through the bootloader????

Same thing happened to me. You have to find the correct RUU to flash in bootloader. I flashed the stock RUU. Although I lost root, phone was fine again.

Another member had the same problem as you and what eventually fixed it was a factory RUU run from the computer. You would then need to root the phone again. The other fix to try first is a different Micro SD card. Apparently if the Micro SD is bad or corrupted, when the phone is trying to restore the backup it encounters an error and reboots. If you don't have another Micro SD card then you can try formatting the current one. Formatting the Micro SD card will erase everything, I'm sure you know that. If you want to run a factory RUU from your computer this site has a couple different RUU's to choose from http://dougpiston.com/ThunderBolt/RUU/ Download one of the .exe RUU's not the .zip RUU's. Once you download it to your computer run it from your computer with the phone plugged in and turned on. Running the RUU is a last resort because you'll have to root your phone again, but if you've exhausted all your other options then go for it.

Tbolt! Thanks for the help on the IRC! It worked!
I flashed the MR1 RUU and it got me in. So all is well!
Question though....why? I can understand a boot loop because of my phone not meshing well with the kernel, but why wouldn't it let CWR work correctly?

My brother tried to install a rom in rom manager. Did not work. He got stuck at the hboot screen. He panicked and tried fixing by flashing the newest ruu. It does the update then when you reboot it gets stuck at the white htc screen for ever. Not sure what he did is even fixable im used to the samsung phone and we just odin back. I have tried to reinstall his cwm and flash the ruu thru there but same result. He was rooted running bamf and he still has s-off even after flashing ruu.

I wish more people would stop flashing roms in Rom manager. Reboot to recovery clear data,cache,davlik cache, hell format system while you are at it, wipe it all 3 times for good measure. I have always followed the same steps from day 1 and never any issues with roms other than known bugs. Another thing when something doesn't go right don't just flash with no reguard to your device. If something does not work try to clear everything and reflash again. If that does not work clear everything and flash your backup (yes you should always make a back up) rant over.

Hi,
I accidentally updated to Gingerbread on my Thunderbolt, and I forgot I rooted my phone, by the time I remembered it already had a blue android and an explaimation mark. So I did some random crap, and probley made it worse.
First I did the vol down power thing went to factory reset it loaded CWM v4.0.1.4
I wiped cache patition
Dalvick cache
and Battery stats
then I wiped data/factory reset
It loaded like it was brand new everything seemed fine till I updated and did same thing so I wiped the data again and now it keeps auto updating so I have to keep my internet off
and it's annoying as crap
I'm a noob so I don't understand stuff
should I go ahead with this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009423
I couldn't understand it and if your not rooted why would you unroot I don't get that part...
Do I still have root?
What does flash exactly mean?
Current Specs (I don't know what to give but I'll guess)
Thunderbolt
Top says
Mecha XD S-OFF
HBOOT 6.04.1002
eMMC-boot
Android Version 2.2.1
(tell me if you need any other info)
Should I upgrade to gingerbread any way
Download a customer rom, put it on your sd card and flash it in CWM. I'm running BAMF forever and like it. There are plenty of roms to choose from. This should stop the update. After running the rom if you decide you like stock better you can flash the stock rom back and take the update. You will loose root.
Pull the update off the SD. It will stop flashing it

1) The phone will not boot all the way up?
2) is the recovery stock or CWM?
3) do you have a recent back up made?
4) do you have s-off?

1. it boots up all the way, turns off after 10-20s each time, regardless of what action i'm taking
2. cwm recovery
3. no backups recent or not
4. i don't know if i 'have it' but when i load hboot the status is 's-off'
Does it crash or shut off? Maybe a hardware problem?

If you clear the cache, the shutdowns will stop.
But the OTA will download again, and in a few days you will have to repeat the process.
A custom ROM fixed me, but now the same thing poped up.
May go back to stock .... trying xdabolt, but in the process lost my data.

What am I looking for on the SD card to remove?
sounds like you still have s-off. Anything you are trying to save like app data is gone if you do not have a back up. I would down load a customer rom or even one of the rooted stock versions with the latest OTA and flash that with CWM recovery. Be sure to clear cache and dalvick wipe first when you flash it. There are RUU you could use to return it to stock, but you will lose root. I'm running BAMF forever 1.0.9 and like it. Play around with some roms and if you don't like them use a RUU to restore you back to stock. Most important is make sure you read up on things first.
Hey I endded up just unrooting using this video
(can't show video url)
(Search how to unroot on youtube you should see it by nat3mil and I think that's only if you have revolutionary)
and I guess the video would work too.
If you restored to factory settings using power and vol down buttons and wiped the data in the revolutionary thing, and then followed the video...
phones working now and the video's idiot-proof
just posting this if anyone else needded to unroot

unrooting is good and all, but if that happens again, just look around for the newest ruu and find a rooted version. most ruu get rooted that day... heck i had 2.11.605.5 rooted b4 verizon released it (the 2nd leak, the one WITH working vm notifications) thanks to eris of course. then you'd be up to date, stock, rooted... all you'd have to do is wipe dalvik, cache, and system... keep the data (if coming from sense 2.1 rom) and you'd be good.
i don't mess with sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid or 3.0 roms anymore, for this very reason. a ton of incompatibilities between the roms and framework, causing you to have to wipe data when switching... what a pita! i haven't wiped data in months. keep the data always to make life easier...
if you have problems, use clockwork's "fix permissions" and reboot. problem not solved? then retry rom installation WIPING EVERYTHING, then at least you tried to keep your stuff. titanium backup is great for backing up apps + data, so you can import the data back when you're stable on the new rom... just restore the apps + data for the necessary apps, and app only for the stuff that doesn't mnatter... never restore system apps + data for roms with severely different basebands or from completely different roms. unrooting won't be necessary next time
I had my phone half rooted, OTA came and I selected to defer, well I forgot and now I have the security warning.I tried flashing through the bootloader on my SD card the stock file and I still have the security warning. I use my phone as my internet source so it's been a big PITA. The phone starts, goes to 1x, then 4G, then restarts over and over.
Won't load into recovery, won't factory reset, using HBOOT USB and the command prompt the device isn't recognized.

If the phones rooted you can prolly get into recovery VIA hboot.
If its not rooted you can prolly find a ota ruu and flash it in hboot. U can do that if its rooted too but ull lose root. Or if its a locked s off there's methods to roll back to factory and turn s on. And yes delete the orig update off the card

IF S-ON = True:
Then you have to flash the boot.img kernel file via fastboot. I would also try downloading the ROM file again and double checking MD5 just in case.
IF S-OFF = True:
Download the ROM again and check the MD5, make sure you wipe the hell out of your phone, and if your coming from another ROM or Stock, don't recovery any Nandroid info, you should have to reinstall your apps or recover via MyBackup or Titanium Backup (app + data, no system apps).

Definitely sounds like you might have a bad download. Also download the superwipe zip and use that too. With hboot 1.12 you should be fine to flash without any special procedures.

A known issue in CMX is that phone process will crash, it does this while the phone searches for a signal, once a signal is found it should stop. Just try waiting it out, it doesn't really affect anything, once the message is gone you will be fine

That is only for HBOOT 1.15 and up. HBOOT 1.12 allows for flashing of kernel from recovery with S-ON.
When you say you tried "wiping and reflashing", what exactly did you wipe? You should do a factory reset, then wipe data, system, cache, and dalvik. Then flash the ROM.

Don't forget data too
One user kept corrupting his phone with a backup of user data, I don't know how or where he got the relevant knowledge to obtain just an image apps and user data but it was corrupt and he stuck himself in an endless cycle of reformat and reflash apps and data. A human boot loop lol I was thinking about adding it to the troubleshooting guide but what are the odds that someone who doesn't know what they are doing will create a zip install of backed up data (or fail really since it is corrupt) and flash it *looks around in baited breath* well OK then
Well i think the factory reset worked now i get a not so frequent dialog saying process.phone.android has stopped. Should i reflash or just wait it out? lol
I would wait it out
I had this exact same problem. My issue was I had flashed a modified mail app that got rid of the Exchange Security Lock. Once I factory reset I was fine. When I tried flashing that Mail app again, I got the same Phone has quit error over and over.

That is a known issue with CM10. Phone process will force close upon boot until you get a signal. Once you get a signal, it will be fine, and not happen again until you reboot.

Google market back up has been a long time feature. Its just that OEMS won't include it or for some reason disable it. Every HTC Android phone I have own has asked permission for Google market back up but upon factory reset or flash, sense will disable it the automatic restore

Hi,
I have a very strange problem now (at least for me).
First some facts about the phone: It's unlocked Virgin Mobile phone, S-off, rooted, and has a usable 4ext recovery installed.
I also did some days ago when 4ext was installed a backup before trying anything else.
After that I tried different ROMs and most of them booted fine after flashing, and I used the last 2 days a JB 4.3 ROM until I found problems with the camera and wanted to see how this is for one of the other ROMs I tried before.
But after try to flash another ROM, it was stuck with on the HTC logo (the same ROM I flashed before without any problems, and of course after wiping all internal partitions like always). Also flashing any other ROM didn't help - even restoring the backup from the original ROM didn't solved this. Only using fastboot from the computer to write the boot image changed the hanging on th HTC logo in a boot loop now - and still no usable flashing is possible.
Does anyone has any ideas what the reason for this could be and how it can be solved to have a working phone again?
Thanks!

It's hboot 1.50.5050
The hboot was only changed at the beginning after getting s-off. With this hboot all the ROMs I try now were working before.
However, for the original restore maybe this version could be a problem (hboot 1.58 was on the phone before), but should be no reason for the other ROMs to fail.

So far I wiped everything but then installed directly the ROM after it without a reboot. No I did like you proposed - wipe, reboot, wipe, flash - and it works again.
Is there a reason why it hasn't worked directly after wiping and needed a reboot between?
If all else fails try ruu through bootloader, you will still have s off

Just in case for the next time:
I can only find RUU for Sprint but not VM - do you have a link to a file for a VM phone?
Thanks a lot for the help!
Glad it worked, don't know why but there must have been an issue with recovery
Here is the pg86img I use for vm.

Place on root of your sd and rename pg86img.zip
Reboot to bootloader and accept update
This will give you stock Rom and recovery and hboot...s off stays
So if you want to flash again, all you need to do is flash recovery...no unlocking necessary
