Hello all,
I'll be upfront with all of you - it has been a long day for me! First, I shattered my old phone's glass when dropping it to the ground. I then went to Verizon and purchased a Thunderbolt.
At least I was excited to have a new phone! I successfully rooted the phone and then tried to install the BAMF 2.1 ROM using ROM Manager. The upgrade seemed to go properly, but after rebooting, I am now stuck at the Thunderbolt boot screen.
I pulled the battery a whole bunch of times and no luck. I can't seem to find a way to get into a recovery console if possible from here. It's late and any help would be deeply appreciated.
I'll be glad to provide any more details for anyone who is willing to help...
Thanks very much in advance!
--Isaac
How long is it "stuck" before you are pulling the battery? That first boot might take a few minutes.

I've waited over 5 minutes several times. Right now, I've been waiting at that screen for over 15 minutes...

So after the battery pull then reinserting battery have you tried to get into h_boot by holding the volume down while holding the power down at the same time until you get into h_boot then toggle into recovery?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Okay - Now I've read from the forum that I can get into the bootloader by holding down the power and +/- volume keys. That worked!
Would my best bet be to try and update again?

You need to check the md5 of the rom you downloaded. If it doesn't match the download it and check md5 again. Might not hurt to delete the radio and re download too?

You don't want to update. You want to apply zip from sd card
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Yes - that works. Thank you.
Can I then re-apply the BAMF ROM again or do I need to try and go back to the rooted ROM before doing anything else?
Thanks again for helping me out!!

Hash on my computer checks out okay, but I am going to re-copy the file onto the SD card to make sure it didn't get corrupted somewhere and then check the hash on the SD card. I'll then re-install and hopefully that works...

I assume your coming from froyo to ginger bread right? If so did you download the mr2 radio to go with the ginger bread rom?
Edit+ mr2 or mr2.5 radio. Mr2 works better for me...
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Yes - coming from stock rooted froyo. I am aware of the 2 and 2.5 version of the radios, but don't know yet how to install or incorporate them. I will check around right now to figure out how to do that.
Your not flashing the rom as an update right? Also do not flash through rom manager. Use cwr by getting into h_boot recovery the way you just learned by holding the power and volume buttons down.

Flash the radio through cwr. When finished flashing pull the battery and go into cwr again to flash the rom. afterwards re-name or delete the radio file set your up and running

Check md5 of the radio of you can. The radio needs to be in the (root) folder on your sd card our or will not flash properly. The rom should be located in the (download) folder of your sd card.

Worked after flashing radio and re-flashing BAMF ROM. I will let it all sync overnight and it should be good to go from here.

I have loaded this radio then I booted into recovery and tried to install Das BAMF Sense 3.0 RC4.9 from zip and the download starts then about halfway though it goes back to the bootloader screen with the android guys skateboarding. It has fastboot highlighted with the only options being bootloader,reboot,reboot bootloader, and power down. I have tried to reboot, boot back into recovery and restore but it keeps going back to this screen...any idea's??

Well, if you can get into the bootloader you are not bricked. Go to Jcase's stock recovery thread and get the rooted stock PG5... to load in hboot. It will essentially get you back to rooted Froyo and then you can reflash the recovery and whatever rom you want.
Or I believe you can rename a ROM to PG5... and flash it in recovery as well, although I've never tried that method.

I've never heard of anyone flashing a rom through hboot by renaming it to pg05img or whatever it is. I wouldn't try that without evidence of out working

ok chris, I think I have the MR2 Radio on my phone's SD card, if I do, I'll email it earlier.
If it does get bricked or bootlooped is there a method similar to odin, or rsd to unbrick? This is my first HTC device. Thanks
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Brick means there is no recovering. You toss it and get another one.
As long as you can get into bootloader, you are not bricked. As posted above, the correct definition of a bricked phone is a phone that will not boot anything including the bootloader. This goes for any phone from any manufacturer, not just HTC. The phone ultimately is a paper weight at this point, and there is nothing that can be done, unless you have money for a JTAG device. I'm not even sure if a bricked Thunderbolt has been successfully revived with this device. Someone else will need to comment on that.
Now if you mean recovering a phone where its OS no longer boots, yes it can be re-flashed through bootloader (full RUUs and Radio) or recovery (custom ROMs).
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Thanks for the help. Is there an app similar to odin or rsd that is run from the pc or is it all done through the phone on HTC?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Most work is done on the phone itself. In case of a non booting OS, the computer is only needed to transfer ROM files to the root of the SD card and to check the MD5 checksums. Custom recoveries such as Clockwork Mod or Aman_Ra will allow USB connections to set the SD card as Mass storage in case of a non booting OS.
Odin and RSD are flash programs, where as our phones are capable of flashing themselves without use of a flash program.

To reach the Hboot where you can flash a recovery ROM turn off your phone hold volume down to reach this screen any flash should be named PG05IMG.zip

Yes it is needed as this is the flash file. The correct file name is PG05IMG and it is a .zip file. Full stock RUUs and Radios must be named PG05IMG (if when you DL it and it is not then re-name it)
Any file with this name MUST be flashed through HBOOT (bootloader). Just remember once you are finished flashing, you need to delete the flash file from your SD Card.
Custom ROMs are different in that they do not need to be renamed however they MUST be flashed through Recovery and not HBOOT.
Sent from my brain.
Ok so custom roms can be flashed in cwm. Does this include rooted stock roms or are those still in hboot with the pg05img.zip file?

Sorry for the late response but yes, rooted stock ROMs get flashed in recovery.

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.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
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.

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.

hmmm... CDMA user? or GSM? i remember that bug being around in the very early builds of CM7. are you on the latest nightly or stable release?
i might also recommend changing some build prop info (which could be causing this?) to make sure it tells the radio to operate in the correct mode. gsm or cdma. if you look for ro.telophony.default_network=? the ? should be a 4 for CDMA or a 7 for GSM. change to your liking. then reboot. this was an issue in CM9 for the longest time and this is how it was resolved. it's possible it could be the same for CM7.
another option is to of course start over. wipe the cache,data,system partitions, possibly even twice. flash cm7. twice to be safe. then gapps. twice to be safe. then give it another shot.
other than that it might be a bad download or a bad build. so try another if it doesn't work. hope this helps you!
CDMA user, for now I am able to have my phone back on, but I will probably steer away from CM7 AND perhaps try CM10. All I keep finding is an unofficial release, is this the only one there is?

there will never be any officials releases unless somehow Motorola decides they want to give us drivers/source for ICS or JB. which is never. unless we get a leak.
