same thing happens to mine, i have to tap it to get it to work, but that only works sometimes. and even though its under warranty, I cant return it because i have a little ding in one corner.

I followed the instructions from the link found in post #3 and the speaker hasn't cut out anymore. Although it appears a bit daunting at first to be pulling the phone apart, it really wasn't too bad. It was well worth the effort to get rid of such an annoying issue....thanks for the post.

Been lurking for sometime learning things here and there, but now I've got an issue of my own I been pulling hair out over for the last 6 hrs.

I Upgraded to 2.11.605.9 Verizon OTA release today... attempted to use the revolutionary tool to re-root after the upgrade. Well that didn't work. I just get the message "Zerging Root... this might take a minute or so.. Failed to get Root! :("

I have tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009423 the non root users section. With no luck.

Pretty new at this stuff, so if someone can let me if its possible to get s-off, i'd just like to downgrade to an earlier pg05img and NOT get the latest update So i can use revolutionary root.

Thanks in advance.

Try this..

This thread sounds like the same problem as what you are having. Read what the last two commenters did to correct the problem they are having.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308324

Also, the thread you originally posted is for returning back to stock, which is not the case. You want to refer to this thread at Thunderbolt Forums in order to acquire root...

Confirm that you are following each and every step. In addition, make sure you are using the USB ports on the back of your PC opposed to the ones in the front. Good luck!

I am having the same problem as him. After I got this warranty replacement yesterday, no matter what I tried, I can't get past "zerging root". Cannot gain root access. I see you said to flash that image, but how do you do that if you cannot get s-off. I have also rooted thunderbolt several times using the "one click method" (which is also not working for this new 2.11. 605.9 build) and revolutionary. Any suggestions or instructions?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itchyfishnv:
You dont need S-off to load that image... Simply download the file and rename it pg05img.zip and put it on the root of your SD card. Reboot the phone and hold down the vol down + power button to access the bootloader, push the volume button and it will search the sd card for the pg05img.zip file and load it. Just keep in mind it will reload it to factory settings, so back anything up that you have. It takes about 15 mins, but it does work. Once you have that image loaded from the link above you can use the revolutionary root. Let me know if you need help.

Rooting after 2.11.605.9 on TB solution

For those of you that have endured the frustration of updating to the latest software version (2.11.605.9) There is hope! Apparently with this software version, the bootloader is locked. And for some reason this version would not allow the "Revolutionary" rooting method to work. (I would imagine everyone with this problem had issues with not being able to get past Zerg Root. At least that was the problem I had)

Anyways, I got my phone rooted....heres how.

Per the instructions for using Revolutionary, install the driver as stated on their website. (Make sure HTC Sync is not installed on your computer)

Download Mecha_2.11.605.3.zip (I'm a newbie here so I cant post links, but I found it through Android Police but if u google it its easy to find, its hosted on multi upload) rename the zip file as PG05IMG and put on the root of your SD card (as you would in other rooting methods) and run the bootloader.

Once its booted and all that fun waiting is over and your TB powers back up, make sure to turn off all wireless connections to make sure OTA doesnt try to upgrade you. (I turned on airplane mode as soon as I could)

From there run Revolutionary as instructed from their website. Worked like a charm for me, and hope it does for all of you with this same problem.

I TAKE ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIT FOR THIS SOLUTION. Thank you for all you developers out there that make our phones able to be so much cooler and more enjoyable. I'm just glad I could help in this marginal way, and hope that someone will find it usefull. SPREAD THE WORD IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE HAVING
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooritnfly:
So if I unroot and my phone takes the latest 2.11.605..9 update, all I have to do is flash the 2.11.605.5 RUU, put phone into airplane mode as soon as it boots, then I can root again?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mau134:
I am not sure if I missed something but I followed those steps. When I went into boot, it said my version is "older- failed" and won't revert to the .5

I am miserable here with stock. I want to be rooted again. :(

Any thing else I can do?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grapoidinc:
Not sure why it wouldn't let you revert to an earlier RUU. Have you tried other earlier versions other than .5? The RUU I used was 2.11.605.3. Try that one. What version bootloader do you have? Also is there Pink letter at the top that says LOCKED?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mau134:
I have not tried an earlier version... Yet. Will try and will update you. But the bootloader says "***locked***" s-on on the main screen. So I am not sure any older one will work. I read other people were able to accept a downgrade so I am hopeful.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mau134:
Bootloader 1.5 and yes... It is ***locked*** sigh...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grapoidinc:
Try loading the 2.11.605.3 If it works just make sure you disable wireless connections when it boots, so OTA doesn't push the upgrade
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rberry88:
Even if the OTA comes up before you disable any wireless connection it will download the OTA but then ask if you want to accept or defer. Just hit defer and proceed with the Revolutionary method to root and gain s-off.

*Note: when you hit defer on the OTA, it asks you for a date to remind you, I just set the date to 12/29/2099. If anyone is still using this phone on that date, please tell them not to accept the OTA :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfcab123:
Ok guys hold on now, this is kind of misleaing... so did the OP have s-off for the downgrade ? Revolutionary has a password protected HBOOT that was designed to maintain s-off during an OTA or upgrade RUU, hence the reason a downgrade would be possible... Is the OP able to confirm they had S-OFF during the upgrade or S-ON. If i upgrade to 2.11.605.9 on a stock phone S-ON, am i going to be able to downgrade with ease ? I would say no.. not without tricking the bootloader into thinking its an older version which is what the commands are for:

adb push misc.img /data/local/

adb shell dd if=/data/local/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

However you can't do this without a temporary root shell.

on build 2.11.605.9 there is no exploit for temporary root shell currently..

Please clarify.. ?

No matter how far out you pick, the limit is 5 days. Picking anything longer, the phone will tell you that.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcase:
Like I was saying before the OTA came out, this OTA patches zergRush.

Bootloader has always been locked, this is not new.

I have a few vulns found, and erishasnobattery and I have a couple working exploits done.

However I am on vacation and wont be home until late tonight, once I am we will get something packaged and released for root.

Until then (this isn't the one we are going to release)

Awesome, i just bought my wife a t-bolt Friday and it did an OTA (that i just assumed was the same old gingerbread update that my buddy got but apparently it wasn't because i could not root. Thanks jcase for working on this for us.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MkVsTheWorld:
I was able to get root with 2.11.605.9

I was already on 2.11.605.5 with root and S-OFF (revolutionary). Perhaps you can try one of the earlier releases such as MR2? This is what you do to get root with 2.11.605.9 if you can get your phone back to 2.11.605.5 or older:

1. Reinstall 2.11.605.5 stock (no root). I got the file from Android Police. I had to rename the file as PG05IMG.zip and run it from the bootloader.

2. Obtain S-OFF with Revolutionary after 2.11.605.5 has installed. Do not install clockworkmod or super user yet.

3. Allow the 2.11.605.9 OTA to be installed. Let the phone do it's thing, the update took my phone awhile.

4. Install Clockwork Recovery (again rename it as PG05IMG.zip and run it from the bootloader)

5. Boot into bootloader again and select Recovery. Install superuser.

6. Reboot and enjoy.

PS. I stumbled upon this on another thread here.

I'm sure I'm not one of the only people that thinks of this. Well I own multiple devices with different OS's are there any Applications that Dev's allow you to pay for once and be able to use on multiple OS's without paying for the same app twice? I like to support the Dev's but I can't afford the IOS apps majority of the time. Android mostly $1 which I can afford but then can't use the same app on my other devices :-(

1) Android (Most of my paid apps)

2) IOS (Very few paid apps) makes my 4s boring or full of adds cause I can't afford to buy the same apps over.

3) Rim (Probably going to be my last Rim device)

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonypaulfrost:
Hi all.

Hopefully everyone hasn't wrapped up keeping tabs on the forums until after the holidays and can throw me a bone here. Tried doing all the usual searches and stuff so if you know what or where my answer might be and can just kindly point me there that would be appreciated.

Anyway.

I have a US Xoom that I sent in for the upgrade to the LTE modem. Don't have active service at the moment though. Had rooted and played a little in the past and locked it back up and ran the stock updates for a bit. Decided to give root and some custom roms a shot and now have a semi bricked device. Followed the instructions to install the HMJ37 zip file from cwm recovery and all seemed to be going well until the reboot. Stuck at the Moto dual core logo and wouldn't do anything else.

I can and have pushed the stock boot, recovery, system, and userdata img's according to Moto's instructions on their site. Locked the bootloader, reboot, nothing. Adb and Xoom both showed the files being pushed and installed properly. Tried unlocking, clearing user cache, going into recovery mode, etc. Everything sticks at the Moto dual core logo.

Ideas or suggestions highly welcome.

Thanks.

Paul

I don't know how you treat your phone but I have a pretty good idea because it is an incredibly durable phone. How much are you dropping your phone and if you're that clumsy, why don't you have a durable case like Ballistic? I just don't really understand the point of your rant. The answers lie within.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
How many turds have you purchased? Lol.

It's the same glass as the Evo, it's the same 3G service as the Evo (I was a launch-day-rooted-in-the-parking-lot-5-minutes-later Evo hardcore enthusiast)...the radio might not be as strong, but, I thought the same of my Evo3D...then I returned it and got back to my Evo and realized that's not the case....YMMV based on region, time of day and expections.

So, to sum it up...you left a legendary phone (The Evo4G) and had expectations through the roof. After getting this phone you decided that the same Gorilla Glass that was on your Evo4G wasn't as strong on a Samsung branded device, the Sprint 3G service that got destroyed by the Evo a year and a half ago was no longer as awesome as it was as when the Evo came out and those two factors make this the worst product ever sold for money....

oh yeah, I can't tell why, but, U MAD.

No case since October and I have no scratches. No dust under the screen, my speaker works,my volume rockers don't look like a 4yo put the phone together,my screen isn't seperating,and I pull about -5 dbm better signal than my buddies 3rd Evo.

The OG evo is a great phone btw, I loved it after I got my 2nd one due to glass separation. Mine took a large beating of drops and what not the only this g wrong g with it after a year was a few nicks and the battery was horrid. This phone is nicer in almost every way. People complain about the plastic chassis but its so well put together it doesn't matter. Plus plastic is lighter and flexible
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
I know you're a troll but I'll bite. I had the EVO myself and while it was a good phone, that phone is a MUCH bigger POS than the E4GT and it's not even close. Light leaking, phone cracking near the power button, and the phone looks like it is almost about to splitting in half! I barely had the phone for a year and I baby my phones (never dropped it once).

The E4GT is a much better phone in EVERY single way and it is not even close.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Battery life is great, myself coming from a long line of HTC's I was very impressed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Well....yes and no.

As long as you have something on the Mohs scale that is harder than what is doing the scratching you will be fine. Gorilla glass is impervious to damage from pretty much everything except diamonds and sand.

Sand.

SAND.

If you have no screen protector and dusty pockets you will eventually scratch your gorilla glass. Silica is harder than gorilla glass...it will tear it to shreds. I have a friend with a Droid Incredible....Gorilla Glass....plays a lot of volleyball. It took him, oh, 2 weeks? Tops? Maybe not even that long....the phone looked years old. Keys? sure, scratch the fnck out of your screen with keys....metal is always going to be softer than glass.

Someone mentioned a way to use the new T-Mobile OTA on an AT&T Nexus S. It wasn't totally clear so I figured I'd put up a little more info. I'll get the rough guide up and fill in links later. This will require a computer with fastboot, and either a wifi connection for the phone, or using adb on a computer to push files to the phone while it isn't able to connect to AT&T.

I take no liability for anything going wrong with your phone, cat, significant other, or anything else, as a result of the contents of this guide.

Problems

- Stock recovery keeps replacing Clockwork Recovery. I have to reflash clockwork by fastboot every time.

- This method will leave you with a non-rooted phone

1) Get the phone onto T-Mobile Android 2.3.6 - I did this by using the "Stock" install in Rom Manager, which is 2.3.3. It automatically downloaded the update to 2.3.6, which I then installed. This step is needed because the ICS OTA is an upgrade, not a full install.

2) Update to ICS. I had already directly downloaded the zip from Google, but you might be able to get it by the system upgrade check, or by Rom Manager.

3) Install an AT&T radio - the original stock image (2.3.3) works fine, but once you upgrade to 2.3.6, you have a T-Mobile only radio. The upgrade to ICS will stick with a T-Mobile only radio. Grab an AT&T radio from this thread and get it on the phone. Use fastboot to reset the recovery to ClockworkMod Recovery, and use ClockworkMod to install it. UCKF1 didn't work for me, but UCKE1 did.

Delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. This probably something people have long forgotten...

You can do that right after flashing 4.0.3 in CWM. Just

Remember to mount /system if it's not mounted already.
