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...

Thanks, now I just have to wait 2 to 3 weeks to get it back. What to do with all that time!!!
On my skyrocket from AT&T I was having an issue with the battery indicator getting stuck at 100%.
I updated the phone to the latest OTA update, no root or anything on this phone, all completely stock.
After update phone info is as follows:
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: I727UCLA3
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.11
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UCLA3
After I did the update the battery indicator has not come back (awesome right?, not so fast.)
Now I have an issue with call quality, my best attempt at describing it is like the ear piece sounds blown out, it kind of has a vibrate when people talk, Its not just one persons phone either, its any call I get/place.
I'm not sure if I should try a factory reset, revert back to 2.3.5?, Go to AT&T for a new one.
If anyone has had this issue and knows how to fix it please post. I apologize ahead of time if this is already posted somewhere, I looked for a few hours on google and couldn't find it anywhere. Also even if you don't know how to fix it, could you please post if your having the same issue so I know I'm not alone and have some ammo if I do have to go to AT&T.

Of course I'm 4 days outside my 30 day trial period so I would have to get a replacement mailed to me if I can't get it to work.
Lady I spoke with there was very nice (as always) but didn't have any idea what to do (as always) and advised I try and factory reset it. What the hell, mine as well.
Also got her to tell me that if I root and custom rom it and it still dosn't work I can still RMA it. So she went against what all their documentation says so now I can do what I want
Figure ill factory reset first, if that dosn't work I'll ODIN it back to the original 2.3.5 if possible.
Ill keep updating this thread though incase anyone else has a similar issue.

Haha, just because she said that doesn't mean anything. Read the contract, that trumps what some lady says. Anyways, you can flash back to stock and warranty it, so it doesn't matter what anyone says

As the title says you absolutely correct. Lady probably didn't have a clue lol.
I called their warranty support line and am going to drive to their wallingford exchange place.
I was talking with my father before I called and figured if I went in and said get a manager, and told him/her if I don't have a new phone in my hand in 10 minutes, your losing a customer in 10 minutes, I bet I would get my phone
Regardless I'm getting a replacement, I did try the factory reset, didn't work. Also tried downgrading the device to 2.3.5 stock, and this also did not work.
Think its hardware, the static is only on the ear piece. Speaker phone, head phones, and bluetooth do not have the issue so I think its a odd coincidence
To anyone that may have been checking on this, it seems I got a rare case, there was actually a hardware problem on my device. Just a coincidence that I noticed it right after an update, I took it to the Customer Service place AT&T has in Wallingford, CT and the lady tried to re-flash the phone (what she said was standard procedure, she HAS to with every issue.) This didn't work so she gave me a new one.
All in all, only bad part of the experience was that it happened at all. New phone is working great.
Glad tohear that you got this taken care of.

Right now running synergy 1.6.....need to call into customer service for replacement. Phone calls drop, stutter go in and out and I have updated to latest modem and tried different roms. Didnt happen in first 3 weeks of ownership but now it's a major problem as I can't carry on a convo without this happening.
Question is....will I be okay just flashing to stock rooted "no sympathy" whilst on the phone and while I wait on replacement? Mianly I don't want them to ask what build I am on while making sure it's teh most current and tell them anything incorrect from what it should be. Any ideas?

Well I think going back to a stock rom would be the first step in diagnosing your issue. If you say "Didnt happen in first 3 weeks of ownership but now it's a major problem as I can't carry on a convo without this happening", and 1.6 came out 2 days ago there is a good chance that something with the rom is causing your issues.
Also, keep in mind that many people, myself included, have been experiencing network issues and a new phone is probably not going to help you. I'm on my third phone, and still experience these issues.

my main concern is if they ask for build # what should I say...i'm on rooted no sympathy now but what is latest build/baseband.
It's been going on for 2 weeks now...multiple roms, not rom specific. It's a bit more than a network issue...I can't have a phone conversation without it dropping out at all....quite problematic for business calls.

Well, on my first s3 I just followed the directions that came with the phone, and it worked. Pretty sure there is nothing special to do. On my second s3, I used the exact same sim and it worked.
Then on my third s3, the original sim would not work. I do not know why. The CSR I was speaking to said something about you can't use a sim from a different phone (seemed like she meant different model) on another phone. This didn't apply to me because I came from an DINC, and did not have a SIM at all. However, maybe this applies to you?
well got new sim and still having problems with reception cutting in and out. Unacceptable. calling in again...
Dude they don't ask for a build number. Don't tell them your rooted. Just return the phone to stock you have 5 days to send it back after you get a replacement don't stress about it. This is how the convo will go.
You: yes I need a replacement for my s3 it is having signal issues.
Ver rep: we need to try troubleshooting first. Have you factory reset.
You: yes
Ver rep: take battery out for five seconds did that work.
You : no
Ver rep: try installing advanced task killer did that work.
You: no
Ver rep: okay replacement on the way

Put full stock back on your phone. Check if the problems keeps happening and if it does just try to get a replacement from verizon.
Just got my Galaxy S III on Friday. It's on 4.0.4 right now, and I'm just checking to see if there's an update available and I get this message:
Service unavailable
Check for System Updates under Settings > About device when service is available
If it helps, I've disabled most of the Verizon apps that are included on the phone, but I don't think that would affect anything. *I enabled all of the apps that I disabled, but it's still giving me the same message when I try software update.
I also reset my phone to factory and it still did it.
If there wasn't an update, it would say something like "You are up to date" Right?
Thanks
Depends on which verizon apps. The software update comes from verizon.

I know i have had some odd issues with this phone...its been locking up, GPS causes the phone to reboot (not all the time tho). im ready to go back to VZW and swap it out. Im back on stock, NO ROOT,NO NOTHING, just pure stock.
I just recently started getting the same error too. You are not alone my friend.

Just to let you all know I wound up having to get a new phone. The guys in the store all tried telling me that nothing was wrong with my phone, and that the update would come to me 'eventually.' Kept telling me I don't need a new phone.
I had only had the phone for 6 days, and the return/exchange policy is 14, so I demanded they give me a new phone. They said "The new phone's gonna do the same thing dude."
So I get a new phone, and the first thing it does when it's powered up and set up...."UPDATE AVAILABLE!"
I said "Gee, imagine that."
Don't take no for an answer.
Anyone know what controls updates? I cleared data for "sdm" which is part of the check but I don't know what else is. It's pushing and pulling data when checking for an update but always comes back with service unavailable. If this doesn't work when I the next ota comes out I guess verizon is giving me permission to root and install a custom recovery
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Are verizon customers able to update via Kies or is that international only? That might be a way around this problem?

It was upgrade time, so I decided to buy the S3. In the event of getting it, I could not get it to activate, so the next day, I took it to Verizon to do it. I rooted it and did all that jazz. Then about two weeks later (If that), I decided to try a MIUI build. Why not? It worked pretty well, then noon the next day, I didn't get service. My thought was that it was the SIM card. I took it to Verizon to find out that they had to factory reset it to fix it, I was beyond ticked off... So they did it, that did nothing. The guy told me my phone is "Fried" and that he will send a new one. He told me this last Tuesday. He said it would be at my house that Friday, It came today... (Wednesday). So obviously, I was upset that I waited 5 days in advance. I opened the box to see a refurbished Galaxy SIII with no back and no battery. Is Verizon trolling me now? I decided to go get my old S3 from Verizon and fix it myself. Any ideas on what is wrong with it? It had an R above the bar signal. I can include a screenshot of the carrier status that I took of it later.
so put your battery and back on the new phone (which is probably refurbished)....?

Seems to be happening with a lot of people and MIUI. It happened to me (though I wouldn't touch MIUI) and after days of messing with it I finally took it in to verizon and they swapped it. They made it very clear that it would ship without a battery or backplate.
I found this thread the other day and I think it would have helped me if I had seen it a few weeks ago. Maybe it can help you:

I just did all that, tyvm. It works again. My only issue is that I cannot get the bootloader to unlock. In EZ Unlock, It says unlocked but when I reboot, it will say unlocked if I open it again. I think it's something with superuser.

glad you got it fixed. theres certain versions that work and some that dont with EZ unlock. check the downloads thread for the one that works. i think it was version 1.2. if you did that maybe someone has a better answer. i think there is a manual way to unlock too.

Version 1.2 is the correct one to use, at least until the dev fixes what messed up. Until he specifically posts that he has fixed it though it would be in your best interests to stay with 1.2.

I tried it. When I click Unlock, it says "Bootloader unlock failed! Are you rooted?" but I know I'm rooted
Try starting the superuser app first. I'm glad you fixed your problem. I was struggling all day yesterday but I was able to fix. When I flashed synergy it made a backup of my EFS so when I flashed miui and get that R, I just flash the zip and it works again. But before I figured that out I Odin backed to stock but realize it's not necessary anymore.

Same thing happened to me. i went to Verizon and they swapped the phone for me. I actually wanted the refurbished phone though cause my phone took a couple of falls before and got scratched. Now its back to looking new.
OP, I had the same problem after installing MIUI, and I believe it was my phones IMEI getting wiped from messing with something in the network settings. I had followed the guide to back up IMEI beforehand, so I just restored it to fix.
