I have a very unusual problem that i just googled and have not come across. I woke up this morning and found that my display wasn't turning on, as if the phone was off. I had encountered this problem before and a battery pull worked fine. Im on MR2 btw... but this issue is different, my diplay is completely dead, D-E-D, dead... after the battery pull i held the power button to start up again but all i got was the vibration on start up, no lcd screen response.
i know the issue is the lcd screen and i can replace it myself, if it had just been that. i have the total protection plan set up and can replace it, but my only issue is that the TB is rooted. upon fixing it they will realize it once the CM7 animation comes up. i need advice on how to handle this situation.
i cant bootload neither, display is completely off... i can hear sound going on so i know its on. Help please!
i had CM7 rc1.2, mr2 radio, clocked up to 1.6.. i was on bamf for a while but switched to cm7 2 days ago.
You cant boot into recovery mode? Try booting into hboot see if the screen works. If it doesnt just take it to VZW and when they fix it be like "What the heck! You guys rooted my phone?!"

Have you tried running a RUU (ROM update utility) to return your phone to stock? Download one of the .exe RUU's (not the zip) to your computer from this page http://dougpiston.com/ThunderBolt/RUU/ and run it from your computer with your phone plugged in and turned on. With any luck it will return your phone to stock.
i cannot multi quote for $hit, anyways no i cannot get into bootloader because my display wouldn't boot up... but out of sheer luck i finally got it to work!!! and heres what i found! the screen has water damage! then i remembered this morning before getting my phone i tipped over a cup of tea my son left there. im lucky the phone even boots up! i guess facing the phone downwards saved my phone but not the screen... ill hit up VWM and see what they have to say.

nevermind i got it, the process seems similar to updating touchpro2, half way through updating.. thanks man! although i got my phone working im going to be bothered with the watered down screen. i can simply open it up and clean it but that'll waste my total protection plan i have with VWM =P

Glad you were able to get the RUU to work. I didn't specify one RUU because I figured you would use any one of them just to get your phone to stock, then you can take it to Verizon or mail it to asurion for replacement.

You're welcome. When you get the new phone don't hesitate to put CM 7 back on after you're rooted. I feel its they most flexible and up to date ROM you can put on an Android phone.

will come in tomorrow, i have 15 days to mail my damaged one or its 300 ;P. CM has always been my fav. its super fast. my favorite part is how fast booting up can be, unlike bamf sense 3.0. only problem i had with cm7 was that when it rings it rings once.. and when i get a voicemail notification it goes ape $hit.
other than that its still my fav.

I had the same problem with the phone only ringing once, I changed the ringtone from Digital Phone to Bell Phone and that solved my problem. I read that certain ringtones don't work properly with CM7 and there is fix in the next update.
sooo im on my 2nd evo3d due to what i thought was just a bad phone.... my phone keeps rebooting or just shuts off and the only way i can turn it back on is to pull the battery... its all completely random.
I called sprint today and complained and they knew about the problem and it is , in the techs words " a wide spread problem and we are waiting for a fix from HTC" tech also told me she had to give back her 3d back and go back to a 4g because hers was so bad with this exact issue... hers was obviously stock unrooted
so i got to thinking. thinking about the 4g battery issues and the use of an SBC kernal. hear me out ... i swear i have seen this problem before, in RC cars using LiPo batteries when the battery drops to low and the BEC shuts down or limits the ESC. now if these evo3d batteries are like the 4g batteries and have a chip in them to keep proper voltage and that chip is bad or has bad connections i think it could cause these kinds of reboots and even shut offs requiring battery pulls. Is there a Dev out there or a program that can log battery outputs so we can track to see if this is all indeed a battery issue.... i like the evo 3d but these restarts are driving me nuts , and with all the treads ive read about the shut offs, no charging, hot phones and reboots. im on my second 3d , both have been roots , eng , hboot 1.04, and new radio and wimax............
Anyone ........................
...........
I think we have the EXACT same problem.... it's starting to piss me off. This is a flagship phone and HTC released this phone with a LOT of bugs.
Have you noticed this problem more after using the GPS navigation?
One of the members here suggested an incomplete battery terminal connection, but my battery fits pretty snug. Plus, I've witnessed random reboot cycles when the phone is laying still on my desk.
If Sprint knows about this and HTC hasn't done anything, then we should be eligible to exhange our phone for the SG2 or Photon, even if we're beyond the 30-day policy.
My phone just started rebooting. Its pretty annoying. I personally think on my device its a dirty Rom flash. I am going to do a full wipe,RUU, re-apply S=OFF and really root. And see hoe it goes from there.
But yeah, it just randomly reboots. The other night it did it every 20mins it seemed. I reflashed the current rom I'm on (Synergy 435 I think) and it stopped doing it... Until probably 1hr ago when it just did it again.
*sigh*

Hopefully that one will work and be flawless man. My original one was like gold, no dead pixels, perfect screen, no overheating and most importantly, no rebooting.
Then I dropped it like an idiot. Got a replacement and I had the SAME isse you're having. So the insurance company sent me another one and its all fixed now =) (well except for ONE stuck pixel, but I'll live).
I've got this problem too and I think you're right. It has to do with the battery. I have a spare and I think it only randomly shuts off when it's on that particular battery. Will mark the battery so I know for sure which one I'm using. Anyone else have any updates?
I haven't had any reboots like that and I have flashed the living snot outta mine
It could be the battery tho... I have used the stock ones and seidio 1900mha one.... Never had any reboots software 2.17
Same issues here I have been saying its the batt for weeks now to my friends ... One thing is it does not do it as much if its charging.. mine resets so much at times I have to just turn it off for a bit, which is not cool lol.

Hope yours works fine for you I know they had some funky things with them such as random resets and so on from the last update they got....
---------- Post added at 01:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------
Also is your phone new? Did you over clock it? I know some folks over clock the phones a bit and sometimes spank the cpu which would cause all sorts of things to resets and so on...
Rooted mine even before it was active on Sprint. It was brand new from the sprint store. Zero problems with it resting or reboot. I love my epic touch 4G
i baught an evo 3d with hboot 1.40 off someone a few weeks ago its rooted and was working just fine.. last week i baught another rooted evo 3d with same hboot 1.40.. i got this one for a good price thats why i baught another one. both of the evo's were fine no rebooting.. and for the last few days both are rebooting?? i keep flashing new rom's and still both reboothing i flashed new recoverys thinking that mite help and same thing?? i dont kno what to do anymore. im not overclocked.. im willing to try anything at this point!! at first both phones were fine its just been this last week that this has been happening.. anyone else thats had this problem please get back to me it driving me crazy that i cant seen to fix this!! lol!!!!!

As a generally disclaimer, "random" issues can be the most difficult to solve as thre isnt an known reliable method to trigger the issue which makes troubleshooting much more difficult.
Nothing very technical was posted as not sure your technical ability to investigate issues with the device.
If you revert back to stock kernel and recovery and remove all 3rd party apps, there should be no random rebooting. If there is, it would point to a possible hardware issue.
There are many things which in theory can cause a random reboot. They range from poorly developed 3rd party apps to custom kernels/ROMs. The process can be very difficult to narrow down.
If you're technically inclined, after the reboot, you can grab the file /proc/last_kmsg and the last portion of the file should provide some kind of helpful insight. Should point to either the issue being kernel related or not kernel related which will at least eliminate one of the possible cuases.
Another approach is to revert back to stock and start installing 3rd party apps in sets. Once the reboot occurs, you've narrowed it down to a set of specific 3rd party apps.
Hope that helps!

did you try 2.17 on them?
My guess is if both are doing it gotta be a app you have running on both phones . Since if you rooted correctly and are flashing the proper way.

Do they reboot after some 4g usage? Mine seems to reboot if I use 4g for about an hour and it keeps rebooting even though 4g is turned off...I have to wipe cache and dalvik to make it (temporarily) stop

When you bought your phones online . Did you ask if they been overclocked some people spank there phones cook them then throw it up for sale cheap.
I've spent 2 about weeks trying to figure out why my camera is no longer working. I tried to get s-off but with no luck so went ahead and flashed ICS while being s-on. I did run into some problems where the phone would get stuck at the htc screen but it turned out to be a bad download.
The phone runs great but for some reason the camera just doesn't want to load. When I launch the camera the phone acts as if its about to load but just freezes at a black screen. The phone is unresponsive until after a battery pull or on occasion it will restart on its own after some time. Hitting the back key and home key don't do anything but give some unresponsive haptic feedback.
The day that I noticed it wasn't working was the day my amaze overheated when using navigation while on the car charger. It's overheated before with the same setup and has always worked fine same goes for my HD2 and TP2. I've already called HTC and T-mobile to see if it's a common problem, which it isn't, so it's either a repair or refurb.
I'm a little weary thinking that it could be a hardware problem since the heat is generally around the camera lens when the phone gets hot. Especially with the risky method of achieving s-off again around the camera. I'm hoping I'm just paranoid and this turns out to be a software problem.
I would like to get some input from you guys regarding my problem. I love this phone too much to get a refurb and doubt htc can fix it if it turns out to be a software issue. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I actually had this problem when I first got my Amaze. It worked fine for one day, and then the next day, when I tried to open the camera app, it would give me like blank screen and freeze up (like your phone). I did a factory reset, went back to stock, etc, but nothing fixed it. Luckily, it was only my second day since I received the phone, so I called TMobile, and they replaced it with a new one using expedited shipping . I don't know what your situation is, but if you try going back to stock, and it still doesn't work, I'd trade it in for a working one.
IF you dont have a reciept, call HTC And set up a warranty exchange as camera is a hardware issue not a software issue (since uve voided your warranty on teh software by upgrading to ICS)

Yea I got a warranty replacement through t-mobile yesterday. I'm hoping I can still get my original Amaze working because there are a few minor things with the replacement that are going to bother me, not to mention getting everything back to the way i had my original phone.
Backup via recovery and restore to the new phone.
Hello Everyone,
I am very new to this and I do not know a lot of terminology of developers so it is quiet hard for me to figure this out on my own.
I got HTC One X Plus in May and I did not root it or anything, just used it normally. I think I made a mistake of not charging it for 24 hours the first time, because my battery drains very quickly, even when I don't play games or use 4G. Yesterday when my battery level was very low, the phone shut off, and turned back on again, but didn't get past the HTC Logo, and a few seconds later it shut off. And since then its been doing just that. I'm suspecting that the battery cannot charge or something, because I tried a hard reset and reboot, recovery, factory reset and everything. I did notice that when I got to the screen with three Androids, a message, that said "battery too low to flash". Now, I know there are lots of posts about this, but they're all about rooted phones or custom ROMS, and I honestly don't understand what they're talking about. I have almost two years with this phone and I can't afford a new one and even though Im still under warranty I can't send it back, because I have a small crack in the glass(not the screen) and apparently ATT warranty will charge you $500 for physical damage. Please help, if you can.
