Thunderbolt won't update

Just got a new to me thunderbolt that has been in the box since may last year. Needless to say it hasn't seen any updates. It can't find an ota update. I have downloaded 2.11.605.3 and .5 and tried to manually flash in bootloader but it keeps telling me no image found 3 or 4 times then goes back to menu.
I have tried to find older updates and do it in series but everything i find was on multiupload we all know that story.
My current version 1.13.605.7.
Someone please help

Was the phone already rooted or is it stock with old software? It sounds like you already tried Settings > About Phone > Software Updates and hit check new? When you download these updates your finding are you placing them on the Root of your SDcard and naming them Exactly PG05IMG.zip?

The phone is stock and never rooted. My brother got it as a replacement last year used it for a couple days then got the charge.
Yes I downloaded the run and renamed it exactly that. When I boot into bootloader it acts like it wants to start but it says a couple times no image and then says something else then no image etc. Then instead of showing a percentage bar on the upper right of goes right back to fastboot menu.

Ok. With a new sim card and different sd card now it is loading... we will see how it goes.

Cool let us know.

Got it squared away. Not sure what the problem was but with a new Sim card and different Sd it loaded just fine. Now on latest firmware..
I'm coming from an x so things are a tad different. Just need to get used to the different setup.
Hope I didn't screw myself by taking newest update. I was planning on rooting and trying out a few roms.

usually it's best to root with the older updates that don't have the exploits patched yet, and then update manually with radios and roms once rooted . . .
also, hows the b16 in the DA? is that thing pretty stable in second gear on the windy roads at high rpms?

Don't have the da anymore. I got rid of it years ago just kept the name, it's easy to remember, lol.
It did ok though.

Atrix 2 weird case

Hey Guys, how's everything? I hope that you all are doing great. My friend has an atrix 2 and wanted me to check it out and root/etc. The person he bought it from somehow screwed up the phone during rooting or something like that as the seller told him. The problem is that i have literally tried everything in my knowledge that would possibly work but can't seemed to understand why the issue is and unable to understand anything to it. I would really appreciate any help.
The Issue, seems like the phone boots up fine, but when it comes to "touch the screen to set up" or whatever it is, it stays there for merely a second, whether i click it or not, it automatically goes to the main homepage. Now i have the at&t sim in but it won't read the sim, heck it won't even charge the phone though the phone is charging. I only see the option to dial emergency numbers.
What i have tried: I thought if i would just flash the sbf file and take it to stock, i can try to do stuff from there. I have...
Hard Resetted> no dice
Can't do soft since i can't really access the phone main apps/pages etc
Used the sbf of stock> Flashes fine, everything goes perfect, but phone still acting the same. I have never seen an issue like this. My major concern is that the battery doesn't charge and i only have about 15% battery left. Don't know what to do or what to try, You guys have any idea what exactly is going on here? Is there any way to still recover etc? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

do you have the right sbf for your phone??

Hey, I hope so. I got the file from the roof section. I believe it is only for at&T, is there a different sbf that I might need that I might be missing? Could you post the link to the sbf tha you might think I should try?

First off to everyone in this thread, it is not an SBF it is an FXZ for the atrix2, always has been.
Here is the link to all the FXZ files for the Atrix 2, you will need to know which one you have:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php

The phone is locked to a carrier, and it is not the SIM you have inserted. You must have a functioning SIM card (does your SIM work elsewhere?) from the carrier or get it unlocked. I don't know how to find out which one it is locked to, maybe your friend/original seller would.

Nope. It's not locked to the carrier since it is an at&T phone. I am with at&T and currently using my sim with a different phone. I was testing it out since I wanted to get something to working

So, a new problem arose. I tried the mentioned like and down,and downloaded the att us file. Now, i am able to add it to RSD but when i put the phone to AP Fastboot and try to flash it, it automatically fails. I tried several times but it still fails over and over. What should i do now?

Invalid Sim Card

Hello All,
Earlier I had a boot loop problem, which was easily solved with One Click Unbrick Heimdall. After which I installed entropy's daily driver, installed CWM, and updated to CM10. For whatever reason, I kept losing signal and data. Originally, I thought it possibly a bug in the rom, but after trying Paranoid Android and also qkster's Clean_Wipe script, I decided to go back to stock.
After going back to stock, I now get an "Invalid Sim Card!" message after a few minutes with the screen off (I have signal and data working before this), and this problem persists until I reboot the phone. After rebooting, it will show this message again.
One weird thing I noticed was that I do not get the "Invalid Sim Card" message, nor do I lose signal when my phone is plugged in and charging. Any ideas on what is causing this and what I can do to fix it? It's the same sim card I've had all along.
Thanks

I've had the CM10 issue where EFS folder gets lost, which wipes out all radio functions, but never an invalid SIM error message. I don't have anything to offer that'd address your specific problem.
One thing that may be worth trying would be to Heimdall back to stock again, and then flash the bootloaders. After the initial flash, leave the Heimdall screen running and check the "Flash Bootloaders" box. Once the phone is booted up after the initial flash, shut it down again and boot into download mode. Then flash again, but this time it'll also install the bootloaders.
May or may not help, but there's always the remote possibility that something could have somehow been corrupted with the first flash, and this will at least help eliminate a variable and let you start troubleshooting with a clean slate.

I didn't get the invalid SIM error message on CM10 (just lost signal), only on stock gingerbread. But I'll try flashing bootloaders and let you know if that fixes my problem.
EDIT: I keep getting a message saying it cannot upload pit file. Any suggestions?

Reboot PC and try again. Sometimes it's just a random USB quirk. Maybe try switching USB ports. If you do reboot the PC, you'll have better luck with getting a good connection afterwords if you pull the phone's battery and reboot it into Download Mode.

I guess I should put out this warning: IF you're having alot of trouble getting a reliable USB connection for Heimdall, you should be cautious when considering flashing the Bootloaders. From my understanding of things, a bad Bootloader flash is about the only way to really brick an Infuse.

I rebooted. No such luck. I can still boot into download mode and recovery, but not into the actual OS now. I've flashed the bootloaders before when I was semi bricked, so I thought that it would work again. This was the only computer I had success on before. So I'll have to see if I can get another computer to work.

I always keep a decent selection of ROM zips on my internal SD for such occasions. Since you can get into CWM, see if you can mount USB storage and transfer a different ROM to your phone, assuming you don't already have some saved on it. It'll at least give you functionality again, while you figure your Heimdall issues out. Assuming that it was a wiped-out EFS folder that caused your JB connectivity issues, I'd try flashing back to that for now. I've only had that happen once, in approximately 10 JB flashes, so it seems to be a bit of an unlikely occurrence, for the most part. Odds are, it'll be fine this time around.

Err I don't have CWM anymore since I used Heimdall to go back to stock. And I don't think it was the EFS folder for my connectivity issues, because I had the same issues on stock.
EDIT: got it back to stock on a different computer. Will post again if I encounter the "invalid sim card" problem again
[EDIT2: back to stock, still have the problem /I]

Maybe there was a slight issue with the SIM card reader and the flashing about exacerbated the problem to where it showed itself. If you're still within your warranty period, maybe look into getting a replacement?

Not within warranty unfortunately. Are there any other options do you think? Forgot to mention, I put my sim card in a non smartphone for a little while. perhaps that messed with my sim card?

Seems unlikely. As far as I know, the only thing that can be written to the SIM card is new contacts. If you happen to have another AT&T SIM card available, I'd try putting it in and seeing if it still gives the same error message. If it does, obviously, it's something with the phone, or at least the software. If not, maybe the SIM did somehow manage to go bad. It's not a problem I've ever run into. I'm out of ideas.

did you remove SIM when flashing the JB roms???
OP's have warnings about leaving SIM card in for flashing, at least first flash anyway.
also suggests doing EFS back up.
always tell people "read read read"
not trying to do the "told you so" thing here, probably not helping.
can't you get new SIM from store?

Perhaps you should take your own advice, and "read read read" again. You have your cards mixed up. The recommendation is to remove your external SD card, not the SIM card. I've never removed my SIM for flashing, and never had any issues because of it.

If I read this correctly, you went directly from gb to cm10.
Your error wasn't so much as sim or signal. It is due to the mtd conversion from gb voodoo.
Seems like the correct way would be: gb to cm7/cm9, then cm7/cm9 to cm10.
If you check about phone, you will likely see garble on the imei line.

np...I have always recommended ppl to specifically state the problem they are experiencing in complete detail, step wise and leaving nothing out.
It helps those to are willing to help others better understand where you are coming from.
In your instance, to isolate the hw vs firmware issue, you may want to consider Heimdall 1 click uckj4 or uclb3 package with complete boot loader box checked to get back to a complete stock.
Or Odin one of the leak package with pit and repartition.
If you have successfully done this and the sim issue or signal remain, it is possible that it's a hardware issue

Yes, after using Heimdall 1 click and back to stock a few times, I'm starting to think it's a hardware issue. Thanks ApexPredatorBoids and qkster for the help.

[HELP] 4G LTE no longer working.

My phone no longer goes to 4g. if I flash back to the stock rom, then it works.
I've tried slimkat, slimbean, andybonestock, and cyanogenmod. On any custom rom 4g no longer works, only 3g.
Also I am on the latest firmware/radio/modem
My Phone is set to CDMA+LTE/EVDO, and whats weird... is that if I set the subscription type to NV then I GET LTE... but sms and calls do not work, only data.. Switch back to SIM then everything works but only 3g..

This happened to me. You'll need to flash the root66 build with odin. There's a set of instructions somewhere. I would link it but I'm on my tablet. Google it and let me know if you need help.

Do you have a hard case on your phone? Before I put one on I walked into a table corner and busted my sd card. Not a stretch to imagine it happening to a sim card. The back on this phone is way to flimsy.

Ive never dropped it and ive had an otterbox case on it since i got it.

[Q] not getting data at all?

Heya! My friend gave me an HTC one m8 (verizon) after my at&t was stolen. I popped in the sim card and I can make calls and send txts and all but no data. I tried changing roms and flashing kernel but nothing seems to work. called att and after some adjustment they made to my account it still didnt work. went to att store to change my sim card (they said at support that it might be a sim card issue) and still I get nothing I know that I wont get LTE but having no data at all just sux. Do you know anyone who is using ATT sim card on verizon m8?? or maybe can someone give me directions on what to do? Ive been reading about it for past few days and I see that it works great for tmobile users.
Im rooter, soff, unlocked and cid 1.
please help?

Hi my friend have the same problem, can make phone call and send SMS but no data at all. Have you maybe found some solution to this? I also wanted to try to flash other roms, but now that i have read your comment i gave up. Have you tried with cyanogenmod?

What fixes on VZW is RUU back to 5.01. Some say further but it must be Stock. Let it boot. Before doing anything else, boot into STOCK Recovery and Factory Reset. You really need to read hear as the process is covered in detail over, and over, and over, and over..........
Worth a try.

Ok, so I am having a similar issue and I've tried this with no luck. I've used all RUU except for 6.0, booted immediately back into recovery (stock b/c RUU, correct me if I'm wrong), and performed a factory reset. Any other ideas? I really love this phone, but I'm starting to lose patience.

It took some effort to get another sim, but that did the trick. Essentially the folks at VZW gave me a thoroughly busted SIM. All is well now.
