Ok so today I mow my yard and I plug in my Thunderbolt in to the USB charger on my PC when I come inside my phone is bootlooping. So I think ok whatever I will flash one of the many backup's I made.
So I pull the battery and boot into the bootloader, then when I go into recovery after about 2 seconds the phone powers off and starts bootlooping again??? Ok that's a first for me and I have been flashing and rooting since launch day of the OG Droid, (ok, ok not since the first day but like a month later). So I pull the battery again this time for 30 minutes because I read someone else had something like this happen yesterday. When I put the battery back in same thing! Now I pull the battery for 4 hours...same outcome.
Now I'm thinking RUU time so I grab the stock RUU pull the SD card from my Thunderbolt pop it in my Incredible load the RUU renamed to PG05IMG.zip and put it back in the Thunderbolt. Load the bootloader and flash the RUU. Reboot after it's done and would you believe it...the same thing! the phone won't load past the splash screen before rebooting.
I forgot to mention before trying all this I tried using adb to reboot into recovery and I kept getting "error: device not found" and I know how to use adb.
It's only been about 9 hours since I've been able to use my 2.3.4 GingerBread with parts of 3.0 Sense Thunderbolt and I already having withdrawals how am I going to make the next 2 to 3 weeks while it's being repaired???
Ok end rant...
Go to verizon, swap it for a new one. Warranty case for sure.

Thanks, but I rooted it, therefore I have no warranty. I knew the chance I was taking when I rooted it so I'm paying for it to be repaired.
I'm loosing faith in the Thunderbolt. I really feel we are all just a bunch of beta testers.

I understand your rooted but if it cant boot up then there is a problem. Just go to verizon and show them. Once they see it cant boot properly they will exchange it or overnight one to you.
I apologize if Im missing something..

You may get away with getting it swapped through warranty. But I can't promise you it won't come back at you. Someone may have a solution for you though. Wouldn't give up yet. Sorry I don't.

He has a problem, I do too. We both own Thunderbolts. Maybe I should have been more specific.
To each his own. The end.

Well then relate your problem with his. Just saying "your losing faith in Thunderbolt" tells me nothing. Don't mean to sound like an a$$, just saying. When I read your first comment I got nothing from it.
That being said...I haven't been a Bolt owner for long, but it does seem like a strange issue. You would think flashing a radio or backup would resolve the issue. But hasn't.
//Tap'd on my TBolt while grounded\\
Definitely sounds like a Warranty Issue. I'd try to get it exchanged if no one can come up for a solution to the problem.
I had a G1 back in the day that had some odd problem and I was rooted, Tmo looked at it and wouldn't touch it. So, I called HTC. I told them that I purchased the phone off Craigslist so Tmo couldn't help me, and asked how the warranty works on their end. They said that since the production of the phone started less than a year ago, they knew it was still eligible for warranty even without a receipt. There would be a triage fee if it was found to be a non-warranty issue, and it was something like $40 including the shipping back. I acted dumb when they asked if it was rooted...asked them what that meant? LOL. Sent it in, they fixed it and sent it back to me, no charge. Fast too. I was very happy and that is why I have stuck with HTC since then. It may or may not work for you, but it was painless for me.

They don't care. Take my word for it. If it never boots they won't care.
I'm actually having this exact same issue. Has anyone found a solution yet or is the only solution to have the phone replaced?
Wow. I thought for sure hbooting the unsigned stock RUU would fix this. How about hbooting a signed ruu? It wouldn't hurt at this point.
Also make sure when you renamed the pgimg05. Zip that there was nothing at the end of the extention. I've heard some people say that windows has been known not to show that full file extension correctly.

I thought hbooting the stock RUU would fix it as well, and yep it was named correctly. It's funny because it would stay on the hboot screen as long as I let it with no issue what so ever but within 2 seconds of going into recovery it would reboot.
I went back to Best Buy today as that is where I bought it to see how much they would charge to ship it out to be fixed. The mobile manager remembered me because I was 1st on the pre-order list. (I'm sure we all remember the train wreck the Best Buy pre-orders became) So any way he really went out of his way to help me. He said he has had 3 other Thunderbolts brought in for the same issue. He was able to send my phone in under their Black Tie program.
I told him I rooted the phone and was willing to pay for the repairs but he said he was pretty sure that the other 3 phones were not rooted. He said that he knew FOR SURE that at least one of the phones was not rooted because the lady that owned it did not have any branches in her family tree, (his words not mine). Since he has seen it 3 times he was not charging me. He only asked that I had the stock hboot on the phone. I had already flashed that in my attempt to get it running.
I'm with cstrife, I managed to destroy my tab with a mix of flashing and charging via outlets in India. It bootlooped for a while then just kind of gave up and began to display a strange download screen when I plugged it in to charge. I brought it to VZW and played stupid, I told them I woke up and it had this weird screen... I had a brand new one at my door the next morning and haven't heard a word from them... It probably just costs more to check it out deep enough to find out its rooted than it does to just give you a refurbished one, gut swap yours, and then send to someone else as a refurbished one...

Hey folks,
I am experiencing big trouble with my phone. When I was updating apps over the market, my phone froze and i had to remove the battery. Since then, my desire s is stuck at the htc logo. i can start the bootloader but selecting "factory reset" causes the bootloader to freeze.
my phone is S-off with alpharevX and rooted, so i think htc won't accept it. i was using virtuous unity 1.27 .
installing a new ruu doens't function also, its stuck when ruu says "restarting bootloader" .
i don't know what to do, it would be great if someone could help me!
Thanks a lot!

Search for eMMC chip. Sounds like another case. There are several threads with things to try, but if hboot ain't playing ball then sounds like its worth attempting a warranty repair.
Of course, forget to mention you rooted. There is a chance they won't test for it. Else it'll be a repair bill.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Very sorry to hear that brother.
Sounds like a dead eMMC to me...
Didnt you read about battery pulling on this forum? Its spread across everyone's signatures for God's sake! I know there's no point stressing on this now but this may serve as a warning to others and help them...
As for Morial, i'd suggest you simply take your device to HTC and tell them you were updating all apps from the market, (DO NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT ROMs, BOOTLOADER, RECOVERY, etc) and it froze, so you had to do a battery pull and now it won't start.
HTC knows this is an acknowledged scenario even on s-on phones and usually just replaces the handset or the eMMC depending on availability, without asking questions. Just go to them like they owe you, not the other way around!!
Again, do not even speak about modding, flashing etc. Just pretend you have the I.Q. of an iPhone owner. That should do the trick.
P.S. iPhone owners, no offence intended.
^^
i brought the desire s today to a local electronic retailer who will send the item to htc. hope they don't recognize that its rooted.
i wasn't browsing xda-developers for about 3 months, so i didnt know about not pulling the battery
anyway thanks for your answers, very nice folks around here!

I'm pretty sure you'll get a brand new replacement set!
How long before you hear from them? Did the retailer commit to any timeframe?
dunno, they say it can last about a month. i`ll tell you when i hear from them
Sorry to hear what happened here.
I had a similar issue myself recently here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257772
Hopefully they will repair it without checking it properly like I suspect they did with me. I pulled my battery out without knowing the eMMC problem too.
When I sent my phone back to HTC they told me that the only way it wouldn't be covered under warranty was if it had been water damaged.
Good luck
bad news
htc said my phone isn't under warranty anymore because of a small damage on the edge of the phone, so they sent me an email in which they proposed to repair it for 210 euros. i think this is ridiculous - my next phone surely won't be an htc-product :-(

It happens exactly the same thing yesterday. I updated applications on the market. My HTC has had a lag and when I restarted ... He stuck on the start screen.
Is it possible to reinstall the ROM?
I never install Custom ROM before...
I test that night to install "Clockworkmod Recovery v3.2.0.0"
I rename in "PG88IMG.zip"
I start the bootloader and he do :

they said that my software failure could be a result of letting the phone fall on the ground. so they cannot say which was the cause for the phone to not boot anymore - letting it fall as the y suggest by the damage on the phone or the market suicide.
i am pretty disappointed by htc. i guess i won't buy a htc phone anymore :-(

The phone was never rooted it's 100% factory. I have no idea what to do. I did search but none of the answers were on point.
Thank you in advance!
Is there an option under the hboot menu to restore the phone to factory defaults?
If so, this would wipe out everything on your phone, but it may start booting again.
Having subjected the hardware to an unfortunate water incident puts the hardware into an unpredictable and unknowable state. The best we can do is guess at this point. T-Mobile is unlikely to RMA it, sadly, as they have water detector stickers on the phone.
It sucks being in this predicament, I know. I wish you the best of luck!
Take the battery out and put everything in a Noel of rice for at leather 48 hours to completely dry the phone. The worst thing you can do is turn on a phone once it has gotten wet. Dry it before trying anything else, this is very important!

i would do the rice for sure. i stepped in the shower with my G2 in the pocket of my bathing suit..... the phone was wonky at first, then i kept it in dry white rice for a day or two, as long as i could, and eventually everything came back fully functional. i thought the vibrator was dead for good, but even that came back after a week or so!

Actually that's what I'm planning to do. I would like to do it as soon as I possible actually. The phone has been soaking in rice for about a day and half I think it's dry enough, I think it just needs the stock file for the bootloader. I also wouldn't know how to load it up from there.

ah ok, did you try booting it up, is it still bootlooping?
also, might you wanna try and get S-OFF first? it would give you more freedom, and if you flash one of the factory ROM files with S-ON, you might get to where S-OFF wouldn't be possible anymore, with what we know at this moment.
or if you don't care about S-OFF, you could check this out and download the 1.55.531.3 ROM file... and follow the directions for flashing it.....

Well yeah, it may or not work, depending on the state your device is in..... but could be worth a try?
Basically, go to Revolutionary.io, download the program, and run it while your phone is trying to boot up.
If it doesn't work, I think you'll have to try and flash a higher stock ROM version thru the bootloader.
Also it could be worth noting, there was guy around who said he knew the fix for water-damaged phones.... it had something to do with opening it up and scraping off some corrosion somewhere...? Not sure if this would apply to you or not. And in any case, it can't hurt trying to restore the device software-wise.
boot into recovery and run it
I followed the instruction for the this link that yogi2010 provided me and the phone did update but still no progress, the phone is still under boot loop even after it updated.

Guess I'll wait for the HTC One S haha
...that my time with HTC One SV is running out.
But lets start from beginning!
I'm very sad to tell you, that my device has an error. Something i can not reproduce, its happening randomly, from time to time and that makes it hard to solve.
The phone is shutting down, from one moment to the next. Without any logical reason, and without i get noticed of it. That means, until i see that my phone is off, nobody can call me. And thats the reason, why i can't longer use this phone anymore.
Missing calls or connectivity is a no go for me!
Of course i have sent in the phone for warranty/repair, but without luck. Every time i've got it back, it was ok some time, but always this error came back.
What i know is, it is related to GSM network. Its happening, when the phone is trying to connect to mobile internet. But like i said, not always, only sometimes.
Without Sim-Card, all is fine (changing Sim-Card to a new one did not solve it). While plugged in for charging, also all is fine.
This situation was also the reason, why i stopped almost all of my development activities with this device! I had to make it sure, that its not coming from buggy mods
So now i came to the point, where i had to make a decision. And the answer is: HTC One (M8) :laugh:
Yes, i've bought it. And it is great. And i love it. Yes, Kitkat and Sense 6
It feels so good to hold this alu-unibody phone (i know, its "only" a phone, but its simply fantastic). It feels like One SV was the step i needed on the way to a 5" phone.
Back to HTC One SV:
I'm not sure, maybe i'll try another time the repair service, but i always have to pay the cost of the delivery. Maybe i'll sell it as defect. Maybe i'll keep it as "Wifi-Surf-Machine", lol. Don't know yet.
But that means, my phone is back to stock, completely "Locked". No TWRP, no root, nothing.
That also means, no development or testing or anything like that from my side for this phone anymore.
Sorry, this was not planned, but the situation was not longer bearable!
Well, i will try to look into this forum here and keep my threads up to date, but i also will not promise anything (i can't look what happens in the future).
You still can contact me, if you see something in my threads that needs to be updated or if you want something added to my index thread.
All in all i think it will be a long slow goodbye! :crying:
At least, i wanna thank all people here, for the funny time i had and for the good things i've learned!
Special thanks i want to bring up to @Modding.MyMind @russellvone @xpirt @rollon76 @BrateloSlava (and all i forgot, can't mention all), who helped me to bring this device going up and growing better from day to day!
Thanks guys! :good:
Thanks a lot for your great work on this device and bringing up this forum!
Just one last question! Is your car holder compatible with the M8!?
Thank you for you help and for everything that you do for us ! Enjoy your new device I will leave the phone soon too ...
I may be joining you @old.splatterhand. Battery on my device is becoming unstable and I am not in the mood to deal with repairs. Can't afford to be without a phone for a week or so. My line of work won't allow it lol.

Thanks so much for help, for ROMs and any other things you've done for our One SV
Regarding unstable phone... Try to clean gold connectors on battery and phone. I had similar situation. Phone 10months old just started to shut down. I press power to turn on screen and htc sign - turning phone on...it was off. Random, once-twice a day. I think also network coul be problem... So I did twrp restore and clean those connectors because i read somewhere that it can be oxidized and need to be schrached a bit. Since then phone is ok. Maybe weak signal + some apps load phone to give more energy and oxydation on conectors cause instability... I didnt do any big mods. Stock one sv lte 4.2.2 root supersu, twrp, rumrunner s off. Just deleted some bloat. In time of restarts i started using app superbeam, but restarts happened random. Also instaled call recorder, but didt use it. Thats it. I have now super beam and works ok. Didnt try call recorder again, dont need it.

Maybe weak signal + some apps load phone to give more energy and oxydation on conectors cause instability... I didnt do any big mods. Stock one sv lte 4.2.2 root supersu, twrp, rumrunner s off. Just deleted some bloat. In time of restarts i started using app superbeam, but restarts happened random. Also instaled call recorder, but didt use it. Thats it. I have now super beam and works ok. Didnt try call recorder again, dont need it.

Interesting find!
What did you use to clean? Can you make a picture of yours?
Actually my wife is using the One SV as her main phone. Without a problem!
But she has no mobile internet in her provider contract, so it is disabled all the time. And for me it crashed always when it was connecting to mobile internet.
The idea about the "higher energy load could cause instability" was also in my mind, but i had no idea how to resolve it.
I think i will take a look at this :good:
I used small knife, pocket knife..didnt press hard. I read that affects some htc phones, sensation i belive.. when it happened i was in forest, weak signal...
Report back if that helps...i dont know is that solution or twrp restore solved things...i did everything i could think off so dont know what solved problem..
I will try as soon as the problem comes again.
Right now i don't want to wake sleeping dogs...
There is nothing strange you do. Just pull battery out an clean...
Now my phone works ok 2 months without turning off.. fingers crossed..

I'm sorry sir I've just now noticed this....The m8 is great, I bought two early this year.

Hi Russel, nice to talk to you again
Sometimes i have seen your posts in M8 forum or in Sunshine thread, always great to see "old" folks again :highfive:
Yeah, i have the M8 since early May now and its great. Nothing to worry about, for me!
That also could be the reason, that i maybe skip the M9. My M8 is just great :good:
And honestly: i'm in hope that HTC releases a tablet with Sense, similar size like Nexus 9 and with Snapdragon CPU...
I think its amazing to see your dedication to the sv forum..
All the work, time, effort and time you have put into this..
Its simply amazing..respect!!
Did the error also contain inernet browser shutting of randomly?
I have never had any issue with my sv..
I did not do much to it, dont know much about all the how to's, why not's, but have shyed away from the stuff i thought to be too risky for me (well for my sv).
In the mean while i bought a m7 and tried a bit of the risky stuff, wich made me smile and think back to my sv..
Yesterday i did s-off my sv for the first time and wanted to remove red warning, wich, in the end resulted in my sv not booting up into rom any longer.. will look into that to solve that, but...
Before i did this, i wanted to change my boot animation, turned on 'show gif' in internet browser and immediately i experienced random shut down's of internet browser.
Maybe you forgot about the sv, maybe you still think back once in a while, maybe this info is of any use, maybe not...
Thanks
Hey guys. I have a problem I tried to speak Spanish as forums but got HTCMania solve anything.
Before I thought it was problem of CM 11 that I turned off the phone suddenly (not restart, it shuts down) and occurred 1 time every 3 or 4 days, now increasingly occurs more often, yesterday I turned off the phone 6 times, this night while sleeping 3 times went out. It made me late for work again because the phone was turned off and the alarm did not go off ... following tips, did not solve anything. I factory reset everything I installed the stock ROM without root or anything, I installed Paranoid Android, SlimKat, Illusion ... nothing, with all the ROM I just turn off the phone. Not have more than 3 ½ months of use and this has been happening since 1 month. I gather it can be battery problem or the device itself, but it is something that has no solution for me. I live in Venezuela and bought me phone my mother and sent from Spain, along with the bootloader already unlocked, the warranty is not going to accept me or have possibility to send. I have searched a thousand Internet sites (Venezuela because the outside you can not buy anything here) and I do not find the battery moto G, to buy and to me installed in a technical service, but even on Amazon U.S. found nothing .
I fell into despair because I can not find any solution, I've calibrated the battery and also keeps shutting off, so I already was without resources, ideas and nothing to do but to stay with the phone and continuously be aware that if the phone turns off,,,, I have to turn it on again, buy an alarm clock to not be late for work again.
Continue pending if anyone can give me some solution, try anything, because nothing I lose ... buy a phone in this country is an impossible task because notice that a regular phone range Moto G (which is cheaper) costs Complete 4 months my salary.
Again thank you very much for your help and am awaiting any news that they can provide me. Hughs
I can't help you, nor I'll even bother trying.Your phone probably has some hardware fault ( too much gaming on it? ).
But what I wanted to tell you is that, you shouldn't have screwed around with your phone, if you can't afford to lose it. You should have never unlocked the bootloader in first place.
A lesson has been learned.

I unlocked the bootloader because I live far from the site where phone was bought. if phone got any problem I can't send it to warranty anytime so whats suposed I must to do? to be on stock frimware and don't root my phone? so all we must do that? then can't understand why there are lot of scene about root ROMs and all that. of course I know my rosks when I unlock my bootloader and root my phone but is my decission, if noone must unlock the bootloader then this kinds of forums would be useless.
Anytime, this community is the best for this kind of scene, root, ROMs and all around that.
I didn't play too much just played a bit, you really think that suposed hardware problem is because I rooted my phone? I bought it 3 1/2 mounth ago and I didn't have any problem, just 1 mounth ago started with this. I think is a factory problem, maybe hardware maybe battery, but not around root or ROM installed.
I was asking just because maybe someone got the same problem and can help be. I appreciate your cooperation like all kind of cooperation but need solutions, not lessons of what I souldn't do.
Thanks anytime
Replacement batteries can be found on eBay. I'd try that first.

They can't import stuff there that easy, thats one of his main problems.Probably eBay is not an option for him.Not 100% sure about that tho.

2- after that,you turn off your phone BY YOU and plug chager for 1 day.
3- restart your phone and check.

With that said, I don't think you'll understand even if I paint it for you.
Try reading my post again, give it a thought for a while, eventually it will come to my mind what I'm saying and why.
