So my phone turns on fine, connects to wifi no issues but my phone does NOT get ANY reception any signals at all!!!! No matter where I go, I've 3 lines and the other two get full reception where as my amaze gets none! It's practically unsusable. There's no physical damage or water damage at all, it's so weird it just stopped working!!!! I tried flashing all the roms I could find, they are all the same, I just simpley can't get any reception! My sim card works though as I'm able to use my sim for other phones so it's not sim card unfortunately. I called TMobile who told me to upgrade with 2 yr contract. I'm 4 months away from my contract and don't want another 2 yr with T-Mobile. PLS PLS PLS PLS help!!!!

Need to know what rom you're running. what kernel, are you s-on or off?
Another thing...
If you remove the battery often, the back of your phone case has contacts that can corrode or get dirty.
Take a pencil with a rubber eraser, orjust an eraser and rub ot on all the gold contacts on the case and the phone main body.
the antennas are in the back case. make sure you dont get any rubber in the phone.
get it cleaned and put back together and see how it does!

Ohh yes, off course - forgot to add that info. I'm S-OFF (jopuntubear) and perm rooted was still on stock rom when this happened. After that I've tried every single rom - viper amaze, cm 10.1, pretty much every single rom with over 4.5 rating, no luck. I also did factory reset, deleted cache and dalvik cache, also deleted all partition except SD card, backed up and formated sd card as well.... did all that i could. And oh I'm on the default kernel (haven't flashed the custom kernel yet).
I'll try the cleaning contacts and pray to god it works

Lol I think your doing wrong
1.a ruu can't be loaded from 4ext it only works on bootloader when you name it PH85IMG.zip
2.the zip has to be in the EXT SD card to load ruu cuz it wipe the internal sd in the process

Hmmm that's what I'm saying that for some reason the RUU (named as PH85IMG.zip) does not get recognized at all by 4-ext recovery (still on ROOT of sd-card). the same file PH85IMG.zip when i go into ext_sd folder from 4-ext recovey; i can run it by selecting it manually.

Nope it didn't - I've been doing it for last 3-4 days. I flashed roms, ruus, formatted phone, sd card, boot, cursed HTC, amaze, T-Mobile. I kept the phone turned off, stared at it from some distance for a few hours, prayed different lords and chanted "buzz buzzz buzzz buzzz buzzzz" standing on just one leg - none of it helped :silly:

Okay so here's what I'm doing
1) Place PM85img.zip to the root the external SDcard.
2) Reboot into recovery (power + Vol down)
3) It doesn't recognize PM85img
4) select install zip file and navigate to ext_sd folder where I do see the PM85img, when manually select it; it did take me to Android 2.3 factory reset (Note: the ICS RUU I flashed errored out by saying some build file missing - I'll post the screenshot later).
5) Still no luck with the signals.
NEXT: I'll try to connect the phone to computer and place the file to internal sd storage (root) and see if it picks up the PM85img.zip automatically.
Please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong.

Hi Guys, I am new to android and one of my friends convinced my to root my thunderbolt. I did it and everything worked fine, then i flashed many different roms on to it using rom manager. I kept flashing roms because none of the roms I flashed would let me connect to mobile network. (I used the mr2 radio) So then I "tried" to flash just the thunderstick 3.0 lockscreen, because i thought it wasn't like a full rom, and everything was normal but then when it was out of recovery mode and the HTC logo came on everything looked fine. But after that the wallpaper of the 3.0 lockscreen came and nothing else the 3.0 ring didnt come or anything else. It just froze on the wallpaper. the only thing i could do was put it to sleep and turn it back on. I tried to press the power button and the volume down button at the same time, but nothing happened. I also took the battery out and put it back it in and it froze on the wallpaper again, just like the last time. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
P.S - I'm sorry if some stuff i said didnt make much sense, I'm really new to this.
Flash a workin nandroid, and try chingys new radio leak, if that doesnt get your radio workin you probly need a new sim card
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
I would, but when I connect the phone to my computer, nothing happens!
Since your pc doesn't recognize you phone, pull the sd card out, and then put a rom on it. One that you know will work. Delete any PG05IMG.zip file off the root of the ad card. Then put the sd card back in, put your battery in, and boot into the bootloader by holding volume - and power button. If you can boot to the bootloader, select the recovery, and wipe data /cache / and dalvik. Then flash your rom. If you can get your rom to boot and still have not data connection, reflash a radio.

Ahh finally some good news, I just got of the phone with Verizon and they said that they would send a new phone to me by mail!! ohh yeah I couldn't do what n8theshredder said, because my computer (2010 macbook pro) doesn't have a place for a micro SD card, but anyways i really appreciate you guys trying to help!!
You requested a replacement phone because you flashed a problematic lockscreen? wow
So many ways this could have been fixed.
I realize you said you had radio problems but I'm not convinced you ever actually installed the correct radio for whatever rom you flashed. Eh...guess it's too late to fix your problems now.
Question about sending it back to Verizon. Can't they tell you rooted it? Doesn't that void the warranty? I'm having similar problems and I'd love to send it back, but I don't want to pay full price just yet. If you get this posting, could you reply and let me know how it went?
Hell claim a lost phone and I will take it off your hands, phone is still perfect.

I found a guy via a local classifieds website selling a Thunderbolt with clean ESN/MEID. He explained he got the phone wet (aparently it didn't get wet enough to trigger the moisture stickers), it worked for a few days and then would no longer power on.
I live 30 miles away from him, so I had a family member meet this person and pay the $20 for the phone. I had him make sure it came with the 32gb micro sd and it did! He is coming to my house this weekend, so I'll get the phone then.
I'll try my wifes Thunderbolt's charger and battery to see if either of these are the problem, but if it is water damaged, would the rice trick do any good at this point? Would leaving it on a heater vent do any good? Any other tricks to try?
Water's already done it's damage, vent nor rice would help.
Maybe open it up and check the internals
You'd have to replace it completely from the logic board, up.
A pain, but if you're that patient, you could repair it. But you don't want to put more money into it than its worth. Especially if its not worth a lot.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Open the phone up - remove battery and cards.
disassemble according tot he videos on youtube. remove the screen from the motherboard (its just two cables.
Soak the motherboard in 98% isoproopyl alcohol. let it soak (it can't hurt) and try cleaning the water deposits with a soft brush. The alcohol will displace the water and it evaporates cleaner than water. Make sure the motherboard is out of the plastic frame of the phone when you do this.
Then put it all together and try charging.
As a last resort u soul try taking to a nationwide chain called Cell Phone Repair (CPR). I took my Thunderbolt that got soaked in a heavy rainstorm and they took it apart, treated it with something (for all I know, it could have been rubbing alcohol as the previous poster suggested ) and returned it to me good as new for $100.

This is exactly why I posted this question, I figured someone would have something I can try.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, I'll let you guys know if it works!!!
No worries, btw, there are dis-assembly videos floating around. eg:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdPiT82gWKw
and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywDkNUxULSQ&feature=fvst
It appears that if you (1) get something that helps you pry it apart (without damaging the phone) and (2) take your time and go step-by-step then taking the phone apart yourself is doable. That said, it might be worth it to have someone who has done a few tackle it if you aren't comfortable with the process shown in the videos. Good luck!
Ok, so I got the phone today. I used my wifes Thunderbolt battery and the phone powered up (YAY!!!) however the touchscreen doesn't seem to work and as soon as the screen goes to sleep, I can't get it to turn on again without pulling the battery and restarting.
My question is...I've read that rooting the phone can cause this issue and noticed that there was a "clockworkmod" folder. Does this mean the phone was rooted?
UPDATE - I just restarted the phone again and as soon as I saw the unlock rainbow thing (for lack of the right word) I was able to drag it down and unlock the phone and it immediately went to a screen asking me to pick my language, both English and French were selected and it seemed to be frozen and eventually the screen went to sleep. I've got the phone plugged into my computer because now it seems to want to charge it's own battery (YAY) and I noticed that the 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen were still illuminated after the screen went to sleep. Then I noticed that the lights at the bottom went out, so I pressed the power button and the phone came on and I was able to use it for about 4 seconds at which point it stropped responding to touch again.
Does this seem like a software issue or should I just replace the digitizer?
I was able to get it to work long enough for me to enable usb debugging, so tomorrow I'll download a program that lets me use my pc as the phones screen. I figure if I can use the phone through the computer without it locking up, then I know for sure it's a digitizer issue rather than a software issue.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong or should try something else.
I would try reflashing a new ROM and go from there. Can u boot into recovery? If it is a touch recovery, u could test digitizer there.

Or might I add that because it says S-On doesn't mean that its not rooted. S-On just means the bootloader is locked; S-Off means the bootloader is unlocked. If you can, download root checker from the playstore and see if it gains root access... which I doubt it will, but you never know.
There are phones out there with S-On that are rooted.
If this is the case, you'll want to S-Off and install a custom ROM before the ICS OTA drops or you'll have a paper weight.
But I highly doubt this may be your case.

Are you sure it has water damage and not a botched unrooting try? I ask this because you say it has a clockwork folder on the sd card that came with it.

Thats my question..... I was told he got the phone wet and a few days later it wouldn't turn on, but when going throuth the SD card I noticed the clockworkmod folder and thought this was only created when the phone has been rooted and or flashed.
I did some research on the touchscreen not working and see that there are numerous threads stating that a bad rom/flash can cause this, so I'm wondering what my next step would be?
Should I try rooting the phone and just flashing a different rom or would connecting to the phone with a remote control program be a better option? It doesn't appear that the phone is frozen, because the time stays accurate, but sometimes the screen will not turn on after pressing the power button to wake it up, so I just sit it down and after a few minutes try it again, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't????
Delete/reformat the SD card entirely. Reset the phone to factory.
Reroot the phone, get S-off, flash a recovery, and then flash a ROM.
May as well try it out.
It won't hurt anything.
Just a note to get a clean ROM flash:
Clear data/factory reset 3x, clear cache, clear dalvik, and then flash the ROM.

I would also suggest to format system. I usually always include system but one morning after too many sleepless nights and trying to rush things, I formatted sdcard, not system, as they are one after the other in the list in CWM and both begin with 's'. So now I double check and switched to 4EXT.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
In 4ext you can just use the format all except sd card and get the same result as a superwipe. Works everytime for me.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
I would try and load 4ext and get rid of CWM. Seen to many people have issues with that recovery. Then wipe everything but your sd card. In your case I would wipe that to. Then just install a new rom. He might have gotten the phone wet but if none of the moisture stickers are triggered then most likely the water didnt reach the internals. So if that does work you just made a hell of a deal. I wouldnt tell the person that you got the phone working as he could call verizon and say his phone was lost or stolen and then the phone would be useless to you and might as well have water damage.
That lying son of a *****!
Oh well, that's craigslist for ya, besides the 32GB SD card is worth it.

First off, this happened when I got the phone when it was fully stock.
Now it's rooted, unlocked bootloader, s-off running carbon aosp.
Randomly my phone will shut down/off and will NOT power back on until I plug it into a charger (house charger, car charger sometimes works).
I;ve tried getting into recovery when it does this and it does nothing at all.
It's a PITA like today I was riding my mountain bike on trails miles away from my car and I was supposed to give my buddy a ride to work and my chain decided to snap (and of course I forgot my multi tool in my garage) so I had to walk back and had no way to call him and let him know.
I've read it's happened to other people and they had their phones replaced and it still happened, is this that common? what can it be
There is some instability with the new 3.4 kernel on certain AOSP ROM's from what I've read (not sure if Carbon is one of them). First thing I would do would be to flash a stable Sense ROM and see if the problem persists. If so, you may have a hardware issue. At that point you can take it in to Sprint and let them look at it. If you're concerned about the phone being rooted & S-off you can run Viperboy's RUU tool, which will restore your phone to totally stock condition.

Do you think it could be a SD card issue? My card is a few years old. I took my catf out and put it in I guess only half way and the phone shut off and did the same thing. I put it back in and un mounted it and so far its fine. I formatted it before switching from my epic 4g touch.

Similar problem with random reboots
I was on vacation and in the middle of the trip my phone just started going insane by rebooting on its own. Most of the time it would only get half way though the boot screen then shut off again. It varied how far through the bootscreen it would last then shut off. Occasionally the phone actually made it through the entire boot process, once i was at my home screen it would pop up the power menu and ask if i wanted to power off, reboot, or airplane mode. Then the three hard buttons at the bottom of the phone would flash and then it would shut off. This happened all through vacation. Also, the phone did not always recognize a charge, however, sometimes it did. Once I got home the problem stopped and the phone is not having the random reboots. I went to Gulf Shores, Alabama if your curious..
However now my sd card will not mount to internal storage and I cannot take pictures, use spotify, watch videos i have saved, etc. When I try to pull up these apps, the phone says no external storage available. The thing is, if I go to file manager, I can see the sd card and all of the files, its just when i try to open them from file manager, it loads the gallery app and then it tells me no external storage.
When I go to setting>storage, the option to mount sd card in the sd card spot works. But when I try to mount sd to the internal storage, it does not work. Im seriously confused as I did not download any new apps, or download anything at least within a week prior to going on vacation.
Im running..
CM10
S-On
Hboot 1.15.000
OpenDSP-v25.1.0.32.0405
eMMC-boot
If Im in the fastboot menu, and I click bootloader, it says
SD checking..
Loading [PJ75DIAG.zip]
No Image!
I have done a factory reset and the problem still persists.
Any help would be great.
anyone have recommendations?

If you can, backup your sd internal and external, boot into recovery and mount as usb, then format both...

thanks for response, sorry for being late to the party.
I cannot mount as usb. the loading circle just spins. when i try to do it in TWRP, it wont let me either.
also when i go to wipe cache or whatever else, it said failed to mount sd card in the console log and it wont let me wipe anything.
when i go to storage in settings, the problem seems like it is with internal storage. under internal storage, it says "mount sd card", when i do this, i get a notification saying preparing sd card but then it goes away after about 2 seconds. then the internal storage area says "mount sd card" again.
I am willing to wipe everything because I got all my photos off the sd card so im okay with wiping it all and starting over. i already did a factory reset but it didnt help. unfortunately i cant wipe cache and other things so i dont know what to do. thanks for your help!

So last night I updated twrp to 2.6.3.0. After updating, I flashed carbons latest rom. Everything went smoothly until it booted. Once it booted up, I noticed I did not have any signal. So I went back into twrp and restored my beans 22 rom. Booted back up and still no service. When I go to the mobile network in settings and try to switch it to lte/cdma, it just searches for lte signal for a few minutes and then a pop up that tells me to switch to global mode pops up. Any ideas on whats going on???
Oh..I also noticed that my bluetooth wont turn on on my phone as well.

You flashed Carbon for another carrier (T-mobile or AT&T), which changed your baseband radio and now you can't access the Verizon network. Odin back to bone stock and you should be good.
Lessons of the day:
1. ALWAYS verify what you downloaded and are about to flash before swiping "do it" in twrp
2. ALWAYS make a nandroid before flashing anything, including mods
The carbon I downloaded was for my phone. I'm gonna try to go back to stock and see if it helps. Thanks everyone for the help!!

I also had a similar problem. it was only my lte though. 3g worked. My sim was faulty. Try someone elses sim card in your phone.

I would go with the other guy and say odin back to stock. At least this way you can be sure all your software is as it would be when you take the phone out of the box for the first time. Look into hardware problems from there.

take your sim out and see if the problem with the screen goes away. I don't see why they would be related, but stranger things have happened.

Yeah probably;. try taking out the sd card as well. if that isn't it, it might be time to think about getting a new phone lol. You are probably still under factory warranty.
It's not the sim or the sdcard.... It's the files which are missing and causing trouble

Can you point me in the right direction on where to the missing files and how to install them. Thanks in advance!!
Verizon & HTC patched the current SunShine temproot with this update, however we have a downgrade path.
If you are on 1.85.605.9 you can downgrade to 1.85.605.8
If you need this RUU from @dottat - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862670562
To flash the RUU, two methods exist. This should not wipe data, but always backup your data just in case. Again back up your data.
Method 1: (preferred)
Rename the file 2PS6IMG.zip (it is .zip, not .zip.zip, check to see if your os hides the file extension).
place the file on a sdcard, put sdcard into the follow and reboot to download mode using adb (adb reboot download) and follow on screen directions
Method 2:
Reboot the phone into download mode with "adb reboot download"
Use htc_fastboot (not the google version of fastboot) reboot the phone to RUU mode "htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU"
Then flash the zip
"htc_fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG_PERFUME[email protected]60722.2_CNV_0.93_002_release_486126_signed_1.zip"
Thanks

Thanks man those files were what i needed. I also had something wrong either the name when flashing or the file was not in the right location. I added the .zip to the command and also moved the file into the fastboot folder not sure which one worked but i am currently "optimizing apps" and ill let you know what version it is when the phone finishes.
HA! you guys rock 1.85.605.8. Thanks to both of you sunshine passed when it used to fail. Thanks man for the help.
For some reason the advanced calling features no longer work every time I am on a call it drops to 1x
Edit:I swear I'm not a complete idiot but the advanced calling seems to work fine earlier today it was not working but I just checked in the exact same place and it is working now so I do not know exactly what was going on but it seems to be working now I'm going to S off when I get home. Thanks again for this downgrade
I currently need to send my HTC 10 in for repairs on the charging port/battery charging issues I'm having and I have a concern. I'm currently unlocked and S-OFF and if I RUU back to factory settings I will remain S-OFF regardless. When HTC gets my device they (I assume) will relock it and return it to S-ON status or shoot me a new/like new device. If they do return my device will I need to re purchase sunshine considering I sent my phone directly to u guys to have it S-OFF'd I'm just curious as to what my options will be. Thanks

Yep I've done everything I can think of to try to get my phone to start charging, got a new cord, used 5 different chargers, did the whole factory reset/RUU (that worked for about a day and I got it to charge to 84%, held down vol+ and - and power for 2 mins nothing is working

To the best of my ability with some cotton and alcohol
I also have lots of battery charging issues. Mine will not charge unless I reboot while plugged in. Tried multiple chargers, cables, Roms, full whipes, formatted data, stock rom, ruu, everything. Just when I get frustrated enough to do something if starts charging again.
Quick and yes maybe for sure "noobish" question.. Feb 17th VZW is disconnecting this line. (unlimited data plan) and my htc 10 is only 17% paid off. Obviously the first thing I did when I got this phone as well as my M8 was you sunshine. (unlocked/s-off) Now for noobish sake does this mean VZW cannot possibly anyway block my phone or IMEI or Blacklist so I would be unable to stick another carrier SIM card in and use my device with them? You know, bring your own device, byod? I never thought I'd be in this situation but I'm kind of freaking out so thanks for your understanding, thank you..

I put it in these words because when I add up to the HTC 10 nothing at all was ever mentioned about ganking my account and leaving me with an unpaid device that I could not use unless I surrender to them and use the limited g*y data plans. So I just figured if they wanted to be bullies it would be pretty sweet for me if they try to lock my phone or Blacklist it and they couldn't. Thanks again

They can't do that to your device, it would be illegal. You can bring it to any carrier also. Sticking to stock Verizon rom will get you a pop up saying sim is not from Verizon but everything should function.
You could really stick it to them and fully convert your phone to us unlocked after you switch and no more sim pop up and completely Verizon-less system/firmware, that's probably way to go anyways if switch carriers

Cool, thank you for the confirmation. Tomorrow I am speaking with Stephanie B. A supposed VZW executive. I only average to 241 gigabytes a month, I was never made aware of a 200 gigabyte cap so I'm going to see what I can do about keeping it open but I also have a second line that is also unlimited data which they don't care about at this time because it doesn't come close to 200 gigabytes a month so I think I might have some wiggle room but I don't know. I just wanted to express to her my main concern is the fact I was never made aware about what happened over 200 gigabyte cap and also we as their customers we're never given a questionnaire or survey as far as the 1% of their customers who have unlimited data goes what should happen to us as far as going over 200 gigabytes is concerned. I doubt anything will happen that's not going to already but I'll let you know if I get to keep my line. Thanks again

I just got mine back. Took to Verizon a complete brick. I've only had 4 months. Finally got the new one in mail
About to downgrade and use sunshine and yes it has to be paid for again. Geesh these 10's are much more fragile than my old m8 . First device I've ever bricked. Now I didn't have to pay anything for replacement to be sent. I know people personally there though
Good luck and happy flashing

Just wanted to say thanks for this. Got my replacement in the mail after a brick. Immediately before reading the latest ota blocked sunshine from working. I took ota and set up device. Searched & downloaded your linked file : renamed and moved to SD card. Here is where it got strange. Battery over 50% mind u. Ran first time failed near the end. Left device useless. Tried to run again after booting back to download mode. Failed again. Only to boot device into white HTC screen. Well after about an hour of trying to figure out a way out the hole I've dug again, because PC will not recognize phone like this. And I could not fastboot said file. Anyhow after about another hour I tried again. And finally the same thing loaded everything properly and finished without an error. So successfully downgraded firmware so I could run ☀ . Ran sunshine and am s-off,now.and all is well. Any understanding why it would fail twice then work. Same method.?
