I noticed that fast boot on the GB roms gave me issues when booting. Wondering if its a compounding factor of having this turned on. I have not seen a single reboot issue on either Froyo or GB roms and we all seem to be running the same hardware configurations....
I really don't think you understand how fast boot works. Fast boot is not bricking anyone.

All I know is when I have my phone on fast boot and go to shut down, my phone turns off (obviously). However, sometimes the LED light goes completely dark. Upon unplugging and plugging it back in it will come back on but the phone wont turn on when I try. Takes 5-6 attempts and sometimes reboots on the HTC screen.
That's because you have an app installed that isn't playing nice.
Fast boot is a suspend to RAM like feature. It will not work or function or affect recovery. Bricked phones reboot in recovery.

So what you are telling me is that fastboot is no longer in the bootloader and cant possibly be a problem?
I'm really starting to wonder if alot of these "bricks" are not really bricks and just people not knowing what they are doing?
I know not all, but some of the ones that are bricks maybe were caused by inexperienced users trying to do things they shouldn't be doing without knowing how to do it?
Just my two cents.

I wonder the same thing... I read the post by a very respected Thunderbolt rom maker who made the original 'go back to froyo' post... But I LOOKED and LOOKED through threads trying to find this 'high percent' and couldn't find ones that were people just messing up going to HBOOT and flashing the new baseband/radio... most were trying to flash the new radio through Rom Manager or something else... and eventually found a way out (which isn't a brick) a BRICK is something you cannot get to work ever again, as far as I'm concerned...
so... I'm not sure what the risks are, because I'm not a developer but I have faith in the guy who helps make BAMF rom... I jumped back to froyo (reluctantly) but have a nandroid backup of GB just in case I feel frisky lol

Interesting that the CM7 build, which uses the GingerBread kernel, but the Froyo radio is not impacted.... really seems to tie it to the radio.

Just talked to a friend from vzw, he told me that if something happened he will hook me up with a replacement for my tbolt.
I've been using gb radio since the 1st day it was leaked, i have no problems on my phone, just some random FCs but that's given.
Since we don't have a solid demographics on how many people got bricked, Im going to take the risk and see if i get bricked.
This morning i just got into a bootloop but looks like its just the battery giving false stats. Its been more than 6 hours now in my external charger and i assume battery doesn't hold charge anymore, Im going tommorow to vzw to have it replaced.
Question is, will logcat be enough to monitor my phone in case i got bricked so i can pull some important data regarding how it happen?, that way we can find a clue on how to fix a radio-bricked tbolt.
Have you cleared battery stats under cwr advanced?

From what I've read, that's not possible as the bootloop happens even booting into recovery.

Lol you obviously didn't read his post. No risk involved.
I hope someone could shed a light to my questions.
1st. How does the radio firmware work on our phone? Does it work like a driver where it acts a mediator between the roms(software) to the phone's hardware.
2nd. What are the possible trigger to recreate the bootloop of death? There are some cases that my phone overheats because of non responsive apps and ever since i flashed on GB rom there i times i can feel my phone hot, which could be the case from some of the boot loop victim that they fried something inside their phone.
3rd. What are the chances that same bootloop of death could also occur in froyo radio? Just because vzw officially released the radio doesn't mean it has same risk like the leaked GB radio. It is like how HTC manufactured the phone, they tested most of it but some are still lemons.
Everything is in theory right now, there are no fix because it happens in random and the reason is still unknown. I'd choose to participate for the fix instead of waiting for someone to figure out the fix. We all do take a bold step in rooting our phone, flashing different roms, putting our faith on the battery that it wouldn't fail during the flashing process. Once we modified our phone from its stock settings we acknowledge the risk, and that risk is the one of the few factors the fuels the development of the rom/kernel community.
I've noticed several repacks of the GB radio:

I just called verizon 611. My phone is not bricked and still functioning properly, but i told the operator that my phone constantly reboots( I pretended that my phone was bricked), i was passed to higher level tier support and they said they will be sending a new phone to me and there will be an extra envelop where i need to put my old phone to return to them. The call only took me 10-15 minutes and I believe VZW is aware that Tbolt has this issue even if its GB or the stock froyo rom.
i reverted back last night but i will def be back once things are more stable.. i already miss it
I was about to make the jump back to Gingerbread "I.e. The ROM/Radio of death" and just wanted to know how many people have gotten over the bricking debacle.
I have yet to hear of anyone who has had a bricked device since a day or two after the incident was brought up.
Ya, I'm starting to think this may have had alot to do with just user error. I remember back in the early days of rooting when people used to brick phones because they didn't know what they were doing.
I think I'll wait another week and if I don't hear of anymore "bricks" I may switch back to GB.

I'm one of the ones who's Thunderbolt's bricked. I can tell you that mine had zero to do with user error. I have been rooting since the G1 days (not my phone but I rooted it for a friend) and this is the first phone I have never been able to fix.
My Thunderbolt was running the best it had ever run (not even overclocked) when it bricked.
I was running BAMF 2.0.4-1 put my phone on the charger when outside to mow the lawn and when I came back in, BAM it's booting to the splash screen then rebooting over and over.

And to add to the above I do all my rooting via adb, I have never used a one click root. I'm also an Official Themer on another forum, so I know my way around Android a little.
I had insurance that made me send it off to try to have it repaired first. I just got a new one yesterday.
I'm waiting on a new Gingerbread radio to come out before going back to Gingerbread even though how much I miss it.
Well right before the news was posted, I noticed some connection issues, it was kind of a weird issue. So I reverted back right after seeing the brick thread....
SCARY!
I was just about to make a thread similar to this. Seems as though the bricking phenomenon has blown over. I just flashed gingeritis beta IX and I'm loving it!

I think that is where the real problem is.
The issue is so random, there is no set explaination at this time to explain why/how it happened.
Since the one person that I know of sounds like a very creditable person based on feedback on these forums, I myself am going to error on the side of caution.
I was running GB with no issues as well, but I would hate to kill my phone, just because I "thought" it was safe to reload GB.
I have been on BAMF since they came onto the TB scene. Less than a week from phone release I rooted and started rom'ing. I loaded the new ginger radio about a day before the first report of the brick came out. I havent had any problems. But I have been keeping my eyes open to see when or what will cause a brick so every two seconds I cheack my phone BUT i can't post in the development forum yet So i gotta wait till ten UGH
i'll wait for our developers to give the thumbs up on going over to GB roms, whats the rush vs the risk? Not a big deal to wait another week or two considering what u could be going thru. BAMF remix 1.7 is running flawlessly for me after I dropped back from GB.
I was using Gingeritis from Beta 3 to Gingeritis IX. Honestly, I haven't had a single random reboot or any problem at all.
However, I did have a data issue. If my phone would change to a 3g signal, it wouldn't bring back 4G. But, once I rebooted the phone one time, the problem was fixed from there on.
I still have Gingeritis IX on my phone, and its great. I'm running Imo's test6 kernel as well.

Honestly the bricking thing threw me off first, then I noticed it takes forever to charge, drains quicker and camera and camcorder sucks on gingerbread. So I'm sticking on froyo Bamf for awhile.
Yeah I'm back on froyo. And to those who are "watching my phone and no signs of bricking", there will be no signs. You'll pull your phone from your pocket and have a bootlooping phone, unfortunately. I'm running CM7 gb, 95% of things work like they should, and since it's a froyo radio, I'm immune to the brick of death.

I'm coming from a samsung vibrant and although it's slower it seems like it multitasks a lot better. I'm pretty sure this is due to sense taking up way too much ram. The phone is pretty fast opening up apps and I'll probly end up keeping it but I'm very disappointed in the multitasking. Also I can't count how many times I have pressed the home screen button and it has to reload the home screens because it runs out of ram. Is anyone else having this issue?

Yes I have thought about rooting it but I'm kinda scared. I'm not new to rooting phones( I've rooted every Android phone I have had) but this one scares me because of no removable battery. My vibrant was nice because of a program called Odin that saved me quite a few times when I've had a bad flash. Odin was a program that would flash the phone back to stock firmware no matter what happend to your phone which made the vibrant virtually unbrickable. Does HTC have any software that will do that?

Oh and if hold the power button for ten seconds or so it will do a hard reset of the phone no matter if the phone is stuck in a boot loop or not. I was stuck in a boot loop because I was trying to theme something and it was just boot looping and I held the power button and sure enough it turned off the phone and I was able to get into boot loader again. So not having a removable battery shouldn't be an issue

lol, I watched that video before I bought this phone however, what the video doesn't show is that when you click on a app in the recent apps menu it usually has to reload the app so its not really truly multitasking. Android has a built in task manager that closes out the other apps when it needs more ram for the new app and because sence is a ram hog sometimes It will only allow me to run one app at a time. And i never said the phone sucks, I just said I was disappointed. I like the phone and I even like sence, ( its very sexy) but it uses way to much ram. Probably doesn't help that my home screens are loaded with Widgets too. : P

@ jriv,
My vibrant would also do a hard reset when you hold the power. However when I would bootloop and did that it would only reboot into a bootloop. Are u saying that you can reboot into recovery this way during a boot loop? I also had a Motorola cliq that I almost bricked but was able to pull out my SD card and put it in my computer so I could put another file on it and reflash the rom. With no external SD I am also hesitant.

Yes if you hold power it will turn off the phone then you can hold the power button plus volume down and it boot into boot loader then from there u can select recovery.

"Loading" message on the home screen is caused by enabling a setting in "Developer options" called "Dont"t keep activities". This setting instructs the phone to "destroy" every activity as soon as you leave it. So in essence, everytime you leave the home screen to do anything else, the phone "destroys" HTC Sense. The loading message is HTC Sense being restarted once you exit to the home screen. Unchecking this "feature" will eliminate the "Loading" message.
Destroy activities seems clear by default. Was wondering if anyone played with the background process setting though...it has a default and 1-4 processes allowed.

I think I hit it by mistake while in the developer options. It was only after being in here that the "loading" started happening. Clearing it resolved it for me. Not sure how the background processes setting changes things. I left it at default.
forget the developer options or scripts. they don't help.
as many of you know there're no multitasking issues on other recent android phones. you can leave games or streaming apps and come back to them half an hour later and still be in the same spot. with HOS as soon as you leave them, you're going to start over. the oom values don't help much with the situation as the phone has plenty of memory for any applications. the issue isn't the memory available, but how the phone manages saved states and KERNEL is responsible for that. so until a talented soul would be able to fix it on KERNEL level for us we're are stuck with it.
I have a Vibrant that I still mess with, if you ask me Odin sucks big time. It's more of a crutch then anything if you ask me. Of all the 5 android devices I hate the Vibrant the most. That being said it still is a good phone and the one I use currently is run Slim ICS.
I can tell you that you don't have to worry about the non-removable battery. Holding down the power button will always power off the phone. No need for a battery pull.
I can also tell you that multitasking SUCKS on the stock One S rom. The phone reloads apps much much more often then my other android devices.

Bingo! Mannequin is spot on about the multitasking problem.
I hate posting threads with questions cause I hate feeling like a noob who doesn't read but in this instance I really tried to fix the problem myself and just can't.
My wife's infuse keeps rebooting. It did it when on stock and I thought I could solve it by rooting and loading a custom ROM. In my experience loading custom ROMs almost always makes things better.
So far I've tried yumaporn ICS and Scott's broccoli ICS. I've tried the v6 supercharger. I've made her get rid of all her apps and even change off of go launcher. Which I had used on my infuse without problems.
I'm thinking of bringing her back to gingerbread but I am not sure its software related.
I've checked the battery connections and they look just like mine. I don't see anything broken. The battery is a little loose but I put a piece of paper around it and it doesn't move at all anymore.
I don't think its the power button because it doesn't loop.
I don't know how to get a kmsg or ksmg? Log cats I don't think will help because it isn't any 1 thing that causes it.
I tried the supercharger thinking it was a memory thing. Tried setting background processes to 2.
Got rid of all task managers, tried wiping caches.
I just don't have the knowledge to do anything more than I have done. I really think its a hardware problem and am hoping someone can prove me wrong.
10 post thanks and a +1 to whoever can fix this. If it can be fixed!

I couldn't heimdall so I put a stock uclb 3 ROM on it. Its running now and I hate it. Thankfully its not mine. I can't stand stock. What's worse is we went to a store today and they had an s3 on display. Shouldn't have even touched it. Even being the display phone the damn thing was zippy. No upgrade for another few months. Hoping the note 2 is that fast

Wiping battery stats does nothing but delete a log file. Will not calibrate or anything of the sort.
Google it for those of you that dont believe.
But as far as the different readings. This device is so messed up with the BS that is put on it....mainly BMM. we nolonger have a standalone system, so nothing will ever be right. Call me old school. but first phone with BMM and worst phone I've ever had. Coinicidence? you tell me
Strange, my phone certainly isn't perfect, but I like it much more since installing BMM and custom roms. My battery life has suffered but I'm much happier the way it is.
My thoughts are dig in and fix it or flash back to stock. Nothing wrong with pointing out issues, but but it's not very productive to run custom software and just complain about how crappy it is.

Haha.. Guess its normal for multibooter to suffer this kinda stuff constant reboot and stuff.. Tho i think i only have this with one rom.. Im tryin to use other rom for a while and see the difference..
bmm and bs is the only way around so like or hate it.. Its a tool to at least feel what flashing means.. When I bought this phone I've see this coming but I took the risk..

Don't blame BMM, blame Motorola and the locked bootloader. If it wasn't for that we wouldn't have so many hoops to jump through just to flash these ROMs. You should instead, be thankful to whirleys for BMM and giving you a workaround so that you can have something other than MotoBlur running on your phone.:thumbup:
