It looks like you may have a hardware issue (on the board). Did the phone get wet or damaged in any way?

I know that the hardware starts acting funny if it get wet since the contacts for the buttons can short out. I would get HTC to take another look at it. Also, make sure that you are not damaging the device accidentally by crushing it in your pocket or things of that nature.
Hey guys I need your help asap!!!
I already rooted my HTC Thunderbolt but I'm still fairly new to all of this. I was going through my phone and I seen that I had a firmware update available so I decided to start it up. I thought it would be a quick and easy update so started the update and left the room. I came back 2 hours later and my thunderbolt had a black screen with a exclamation mark inside of a triangle to the left of a little android guy. I couldn't leave that screen unless I pressed the power button and volume keys at the same time. Once rebooted everything looks normal, and everything begins to load up but only 10 secs later my phone begins to power down again and I have no control of it. Once powered down, a loading droid comes up as if something is starting to download, but once the loading bar reaches the middle of the status bar, the image I mentioned earlier comes up again.
If it helps the last two things I have changed on my thunderbolt was I flashed Lean Kernel extreme and installed Launcher Pro....Any help is appreciated, I just hope I didn't do what I think I did (bricked it)

Tried a factory reset?
It doesn't give me time to get to my Rom manager
You are rooted so u shouldnt have done that update...
hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time...see if you can boot into recovery....
damn...so what do you suggest???
read my post # 5
yeah when I do that I just reboot back to the phone again then 10secs after Im rebooted, it says "powering down" and gives me the same exclamation mark inside the triangle and the little android guy next to it

when you hold down the power button and volume down and it reboots....doesn't it go to a white screen? I beleive it says recovery in blue......if you use the volume down to highlight it...then press the power button.....it should reboot into recovery.......
alright I just turned it off and I pressed the power button and the volume down....the white screen came up and its now asking me if I want to start update. If I press the "no" option I should be good right? I just want to make sure before I do anything else

what you have to do....is let the phone reboot normally.....then when the phone bbot up...connect to your computer.....delete the radio file on your SD card...it will say something like PG51....zip...then hold the power button and volume down.....then it will not ask you for an update when it reboots...then you can go and highlight recovery...
Do you think it will be just as effective if I took my sd card out and just deleted that file you mentioned?? because seeing that my phone turns off after only a few secs of it being rebooted I dont have enough time to syc it to my computer

that will work!!! take out the card...delete the radio file....should be PG51xx.zip...put it back...hold power button and volume down button...phone reboots into white screen...use volume button to highlight recovery...then push power button....phone will reboot into recovery.....
also..save the file that you are deleting off the sd card...you will need to reinstall after you restore the rom you want...
okay so I guess I ended up doing it the hard way but its cool I guess...
basically I held the volume down button and then pressed and held the power button until hboot comes on like you said but it didn't allow me to select anything other than "yes" or "no" to continue the update or not. It will check the file, then ask if I wanted to update. I pressed volume up for yes. After update, I pressed power to reboot.
After pressing the down key to stop the update, and I seen that it didn't work after 5 or 6 tries (because it just rebooted and did nothing), I just pressed the volume up.
Once it rebooted after I pressed the volume up key it restored my phone like the first day I got it. its a little annoying because now I have to download everything again but at least its not bricked
Thanks a lot man, I completely appreciate your time and effort...
glad you

glad you got it...but all you had to do is delete the PG51..zip file off your SD card and you would have been able to reboot into recovery...if you have the P51...zip file on your phone.....it will ALWAYS ask you to update....
For the record, when that black screen with the exclamation mark comes up, you are in recovery. All you had to do was press menu. I just made this same mistake like a noob, now I gotta wait until my lunch break to fix it.
This is a pretty common mistake
After Rebooting the HTC Radar yesterday, it reboots every time in "Serial Mode". There are some options on the Screen like APPSBL, Image SRC and Factory Reset". Every time i long press the Power Button, it comes back to this Screen. Today in the Morning i preset Power + Volume Down + Camera Button and it boots up normal. All Data are there, but i cant use the Hardware Volume Buttons anymore. If i press this Buttons, nothing on the Device responds.
Does anyone have a idea, what i can do? The rest of the Device seems to work ok.

Now after some days, they work both. First only the volume down, some days later, also the Volume Up. I think there was some steam in the shower which disfuncts the buttons. but thx for your suggestion.

Hello,
I'm posting this for a friend, because his phone is "dead" and he is unable to post himself.
Earlier this year he brought a Galaxy SII from a second-hand phone shop, and it's worked fine up until now. He updated the ROM to the official 4.1.2 and since then it's had issues connecting to his home WiFi (unrelated, but it lead me to suspect the ROM) but it connects everywhere else. Then yesterday his phone just went blank and turned on again - the boot sound played at the touch buttons lit up for a moment and then faded as with a normal boot. But the screen was blank apart from several white spots, and a load of coloured pixels. I saw it myself today, and the colour of the pixels is random, although usually red or green, and the phone gets incredibly hot about a minute after turning on.
Is this a ROM fault, or could there be something more serious to it?
Just a shot in the dark, as I've never owned a Samsung, but could it be the "sudden death" bug that they allegedly have?
Thanks
Does it go to recovery? Factory reset. If not does it go to download mode?

I'm not sure - I think I managed to get it into the bootloader, but there's no way to tell because there is nothing on the screen but the white dots and random pixels. All I did notice was that when I removed the battery and turned it on again even more pixels appeared. We only went by the sound and touch lights, so it appeared to boot, but we don't even know if it switched straight off again

you are not sure ? did you try to go into recovery or download mode ? shutdown the phone first
Recovery = Volume up button + Home button + Power button
Download mode = Volume down button + Home button + Power button
Press vol+and home button and power button till it boots to recovery. Keep them all pressed down till it boots. If not try vol- home and power till it boots to download mode. Has he dropped it?

We tried that, and the touch lights came on but with no boot sound. The screen didn't change, just white dots and pixels, but it was working fine the day before.

Tried both, the screen just did the same thing and the phone got very hot very fast, and he said he hasn't dropped it at all, but that someone in his family may have, he's not totally sure because nobody admitted to using his phone.
Screen is prob broken. Pixels on it..not good. No recovery or download mode..really bad. For it too get really hot really fast may be a mb problem. Send it to service centre

Okay, thank you! He tried calling them and getting a quote, but the guy on the other end didn't seem to know what to do, and the man who owned the shop he brought it from offered to repair it, but for almost double what it cost him to buy the phone.
Thank you!
No problem mate. Get a second hand one. Prob be cheaper to do that now the s4 is out. Mb cost alot.

please remove the battery for like 10 minutes, wait a little bit, then try to go into recovery or download mode,
if that doesn't work, try this:
1.Press the key combination for recovery
2.Samsung logo appears - hold the buttons pressed.
3.Prompt disappears shortly - you still hold the buttons.
4.Samsung logo appears again - hold the buttons still pressed.
5.Count to 3 & let go, dont press the buttons anymore.
After 1 - 2 sec farther the Samsung logo disappears and the recovery starts maybe, i did that on my old i9100

Thank you, but that hasn't had any effect. Still a blank screen with white dots and thousands of coloured pixels. Thank you for all of your help though!
i got s3, suddenly it started to reboot itself all the time, what i see is only the samsung logo and then black, and samsung again.
the funny thing is that when i put the battery in, it automaticly start with this loop.
during the loop, when i press home+volume up, i can see the cwm screen for two seconds, and then it reboot again.
if i press home+voulume down, i see the warning in the stock recovery, but when i press volume up, nothing changed, and eventually after two seconds it reboots again.
i tried to connect it to my pc, but it dosen't show it in device manager, and have no indication that i connected it.
also, when i connect it the charger, i see circle, and then a battery for a brief second, and then the circle again.
is it simple hardware problem (stuck power button? even though it seem okay, but it may explain the automatic turn on), or half SDS?
anyway, are there any recommondations? i have'nt flashed it recently or anything like it.

as i wrote before, i can enter to both recovery modes (volume up or volume down) for something like two seconds, i can't do anything in it.
if i try to get to download mode (home and volume down) i see the warning, but either i press volume up or down, it reset itself.

the regular, about flashing custom roms, if i want to continue press volume up, restart, volume down.
either way, it restarts.
any way it is the power button stuck in 1 mode?
If phone starts on battery insertion, before you push the button then yes, power button is shorted out.

Try leaving the battery out overnight/long time, it helped when I got my phone stuck in a bootloop. But that was due to oc/uv...did you try something risky, causing it to bootloop?
no, it was in regular use, nothing risky.
yesterday i dissassembled it and checked with multimeter, it seem that the power button shorting the circuit, so i ordered a new one, going to be a surgical operation...
