[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprinks542:
PS...When I try to put a factory rom on with PG05IMG it goes through the process fine and asks if I want to apply the update and I hit yes and goes through and unzips and updates just fine until it gets to mdm9k and then just gets stuck on updating. I tried just updating mdm9k and radios but can't cause phone is Locked with S-ON and I don't have root or anyway, that I know of, to obtain Unlocked or root through fastboot. Believe me I've been trying everything I could find for the last 3 days. How can I get it to recognize phone using adb if the phone is not mounted??? Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprinks542:
No...if I go into hoot and hit recovery the white htc screen comes up and then it goes to a screen with like a picture of a hard drive briefly and then to an inverted triangle with an exclamation point
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATHORNFAM2:
so you can get to recovery right

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

Pull the battery...wait for 30 seconds and place the battery back in and try to power up...if it happens again and you are not rooted leave it alone for 10 minutes try this and i'll keep looking for you. can you please take some pics so i can better see whats wrong with it
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drowe:
It sounds like your adb isn't set up correctly. I would work on that first until you can see the device. Once there, you can use fastboot to flash recoveries or roms. Here is a link to a procedure that seems to work well, but I haven't had to do it myself. http://androidforums.com/thunderbolt-all-things-root/480350-easier-way-flash-pg05img-files.html
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprinks542:
Thanks for all your help guys but nothing seems to be working. It's like I have no os/system , no recovery, and the phone is locked with s-on. Nothing is working at all.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprinks542:
I've tried this an everything else possible and NOTHING!!! It's getting so frustrated.

I followed this link and did exactly as it said and adb does not work and I'm thinking it's because the phone has to be on and mounted for adb. However I was able to use fastboot as described and I flashed the PG05IMG and it worked like it said it would and appeared to flash it and I got so happy only to reboot phone and find it was still bootlooping, so I tried going into recovery and still no recovery, and then I tried a factory reset again and again nothing just a constant bootloop. I plugged the phone back into the computer and went into hboot only to find that when I go into fastboot it no longer says fastboot usb only fastboot, so now I have no way to get into the phone at all! I'm at a loss and have no idea what to do!!! I have tried everything and cannot get fastboot usb or the computer to even recognize the phone when I plug it in like before.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprinks542:
Very busy weekend but I will try and get some pics up as soon as I can...Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATHORNFAM2:
thanks i was asking for the pics because my friend works on phones all the time and really knows how to fix them so i was gonna show him whats wrong so maybe he can walk you through it although he hasn't really worked on the htc thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dizzyman1180:
Now have you tried downloading cwm and flashing it through hboot?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
If he cant get past the splash, he cant use adb.

I had another person with this issue contact me. We never found a fix.

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

He is S-ON, therefore cannot do that unless he HTCDev unlocks.

Which I personally think is a bad idea if it is still in warranty.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
If he can get into fastboot and put the phone into fastboot usb ads should recognize it right?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
No only fastboot
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Hmmm kk... Things aren't looking good then.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
yeah :/

i think if its in warranty run it to verizon

if its not then htcdev unlock and try from there
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprinks542:
The phone is not under warranty and I tried the HTC Dev unlock but when I got to the part where the phones screen went to the unlock page and it asks if I'm sure I want to unlock I hit the vol up button to select yes and then the power button to select and it does nothing. I don't think it has a system or os to go to or something, posibbly radios?!?!? Idk??? Something is severely corrupt. Ever since I followed the link posted earlier about the mini-adb and followed the link to a tee for flashing the stock PG05IMG through fastboot now I can't do anything. I can get in to hboot but when I click on fastboot it says fastboot but usb does not come up anymore so therefore my computer can't recognize it at all now!! I'm out of ideas and ready to chalk it up as a loss and that I got burnt!! Thanks for all the input guys and if anyone can help me let me know!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] untruestory:
MMS, data, voice all work fine. I can receive SMS. SMS was working before. This problem occurred after I flashed a custom ROM and then restored the backup from CWM. My Nexus is on Straight Talk using stock rooted ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] S7evinK:
Try changing the SMSC (SMS Centre) number.

You need to dial

*#*#4636#*#*

and select the first option.

Telekom (GER) offers a service to setup everything for you.

Had the same issue before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] untruestory:
How do I find/ what is my smsc number?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] S7evinK:
Getting the real SMSC for android is a bit tricky

1.) Find the SMS centre number of your carrier (e.g. for t-mobile DE -> +49 171 076 0000)

2.) go to http://twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode

3.) Enter the SMS centre number in the field "SMSC" and clear receiver and the message "How are you?"

4.) Click on "Convert"

5.) On the right side you'll see something like (in my example)

0791947101670000110000910000AA00

the first two digits show you the length. (7)

6.) 7x2+2 = 16 (+2 cause of the length needed[?]); Mark 16 digits from the start of the number. (here 0791947101670000) Thats your SMSC Number.

Go back to

*#*#4636#*#*

first option, scroll down to "SMSC" and enter your SMSC, click the button directly next to the input field.

Leave this screen and go back to it. Scroll down to the SMSC section and click the right button. (if everything is correct, you should now see the correct SMSC number instead of "00")

If you need further help, feel free to send me a PM. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] untruestory:
Thanks a lot. That link is dead but I found a post with the number:

07913121139418F0 which worked for an ATnT customer and now it's working. I'm about to search for another udp encoder so I can use the proper straight talk smsc. Much appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediDru:
DUDE!!!! Double thanks for posting this question and SMSC number. I am on Straight Talk and had somehow got my SMSC wiped. Its been a week raising hell with ST when I read something about the no SMS and their SMSC reading as 00. Checked mine and sure enough 00. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stevensoaj:
NO KIDDING! I was having the same problem, and now it's fixed, thanks to you guys! ST is not very helpful over the phone, however I have found they have much better customer service over facebook.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sparx639:
I tried using the number in this thread and the att number and I still cannot send messages. When I refresh the smsc number after entering the att number, I get the same number with an extra 0 at the end. I know why it was wiped, I just cannot get it back. No matter which number I try, I still get a message not sent error
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediDru:
I hope you got this sorted. But it needs to be said your SMSC number is carrier specific. My carrier is Straight Talk specifically but I am using the At&t MVNO not the T-mobile. Since my service is through At&t's network, I'm using At&t's SMSC number. You will need to find or decipher your carriers SMSC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sparx639:
I ended up getting it. My code was exactly the same but when I tried it, I did not capitalize the letter and it would not work. As soon as I did, it worked so all is well

You should check how well supported they are, in their own section.

When you restore a backup with cwm do you get all your apps back?

And what exactly does it restore?

The only time i tried the restore function was when i flashed ics but it was a gb backup and i got an error .so help me please :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
If u want to restore a gb. backup when on ics, u need to flash gb. Kernel. then u reboot directly into recovery(advanced/reboot recovery) and restore your backup.

And yes all your apps and settings will also be restored.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthJe5us:
thank you..putting a gb kernel wont brake the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
No, bootloader on i9000 ics roms is ginger. And you don't have to wipe anything.

if u know witch ginger kernel u were running,flash that kernel and restore your backup

But DON'T boot up your phone. Just reboot into recovery from recovery and then restore your backup from the ginger kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r11pp3r:
Can you backup custom roms? Because im having trouble.

Yesterday i updated from dark knight v3 rom to v5.5 and backed up the rom through recovery mode because rom manager wouldnt work (kept getting the android guy on its back with an exclamation mark)

I decided to go back to v3. I booted into recovery, wiped date/cache then restored my backup rom. When it finished, it stuck at the boot animation for 30 minutes. I pulled the battery and tried to boot into recovery but it just kept rebooting until i took my fingers off the up+power the proceeded to animatiin where it would just hang..... did i do something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karrb:
I just got a razr maxx and I still have 7 days to change it out... I and debating between getting the nexus instead.... what do y'all think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
Depends. Do you really want/need an HD screen? Would you be okay with the size? Okay with radios that aren't as great as Motorola radios? Do you prefer custom roms to stock roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karrb:
Who has the better screen? the sizes are roughly the same. Is the radio that noticeable and I do like custom roms a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blempka:
Of course, everyone is different, but for me, the Galaxy Nexus hands down. While the Razr may have better radios(I actually have no first hand experience with them) I can say the latest radios are greatly improved.

Screen goes to Galaxy Nexus hands down. 720p at this size is incredible, and also gives you something to watch on 4g(bandwidth providing).

I took a look at the Razr forums here at XDA and noticed they still don't seem to have a fully functioning ICS. Again, I don't have one so I may have missed it somewhere, but either way, keep in mind the locked boot loader really hurts development. For me at least, it's stock ICS over any skins, so the official update wouldn't do it for me. Let alone when Jellybean rolls around!

It's all subjective of course. Play with a Galaxy Nexus in store, but keep in mind that the screens and performance of a real device are going to be even better. If available, play with a friend's Gnex to get a better idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karrb:
Yeah I posted this on Rootzwiki (don't know if there is a rivalry, but I use both) and they did plenty of convincing me.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aegrotatio:
I've looked around the forums and I am not finding instructions on how to unbrick a Kindle Fire that has ClockworkMod installed. I installed ClockworkMod and installed a late ICS build with kernel 3.0 and the Fire is stuck in an infinite boot loop with the Kindle Fire/Android mascot logo.

I can get into ClockworkMod but re-flashing with the CM9 that I have doesn't do anything to fix it.

I know that if I were able to put the stock Kindle firmware on that /sdcard volume I can fix this but how do I do this with ClockworkMod?

I've tried all the unbricking utils (even the Java front-end) and they act like they're fixing things but they all make no changes.

I do have the correct drivers and can send adb commands to fastboot, normal boot, recovery boot, so I'm pretty sure I'm just missing how to unbrick a Kindle that is using ClockworkMod.

Thanks in advance.

:confused:
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
When you say "infinite bootloop" do you mean the device turns on, shows the boot logo, then reboots?

If so... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25400963

Also CWM will not work with the latest versions of ICS, you need to flash TWRP.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aegrotatio:
I recommend people copy both the Kindle standard image as well as the customized image to the /sdcard volume. That way if you're stuck with a bricked Kindle at least you can re-install the original Kindle image and get back to where you were before.

I ordered a factory cable to get it to boot into factory recovery mode, which I know works in all cases.

In the meantime I'm going to attempt to try the steps in that post.

After that I'll try to mount the original Kindle system image from a USB drive (using the USB boot feature of CWM) and then try to install it from there and then go back to TWRP or FireFireFire.

I've successfully used FireFireFire before, but using CWM bricked my Kindle hard. I'll update this thread when it's working again.

Thanks for the info.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aegrotatio:
Okay, I successfully unbricked it.

It wasn't so much a hard brick or a soft brick but more of a firm bricking.

I went into CWM and told it to mount the USB volume. The 5 gigabyte drive appeared on my computer and I formatted it.

I took the Amazon stock update and changed its file extension to zip.

I then copied it from the computer to the mounted volume.

I chose the zip for installation and then installed it from CWM.

After shutting down and rebooting a few times it worked.

I didn't even have to do any ADB tricks. This is because I had a working CWM boot image.

Now it's off to more hacking!!

I am having the same problem... how did you get into clockwork? it doesnt stay on long enough for me to connect it to the KFU
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffjoleen:
I did the same thing. You'll need to go into CWM and mount it as usb storage and then it will show up on your desktop as a disk drive. Format it from there to wipe out the crap that's hanging it up and then reinstall either your rom or stock amazon rom.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xCurtisx:
I am int he same boat. How did you or can I get into Clockwork
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregory99mar:
I'm not very knowledgeable about CWM but I do have an idea. Try turning off kindle by holding down power button, plug kindle in to computer and turn it on. Open KFU, if it says that adb is online, then you have your fix. Just set the boot mode to recovery and you should boot right in to cwm.

extract the rar file using winrar

copy the "dload" folder to ur sdcard (dont put it in any other folder, just paste it in the sdcard)

pull out the battery and put it back

and then while holding volume + key switch on the mobile until it shows update on the screen

note: u need to have other mobile or sdcard reader to put dload folder in ur sdcard.... u cant access r sdcard while being in bluescreen of ur u8800

Thanks All, finally I am able to solve it. Here is what I did incase in future some1 has same issues.

when I formatted my mobile last time (a year ago), (by mistake) I took backup of stock rom images.

amss.mbn

boot.img

EMMCBOOT.MBN

recovery.img

I created a folder called Image and copied all 4 in that folder. Now my Blue screen is converted into Pink one. on my other SD card i put 2.2.1 stock in "dload" folder.

I installed foryo normally by pressing power button and volume keys

I went in pink mode again to copy CWM image.

I went to CWM and installed CM7 (geno) I don't know I tried 10 times to install ezet. It is not at all working with me. anyway But m very happy to be back to CM7 after using ICS MIUI (very much ram hungry).
