[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dizzyman1180:
Either of you tried an RUU. Download 605.9 or 605.19, change it PG05IMG.zip and flash it through hboot, see if it goes through.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyagee:
I have successfully flashed both recovery, and the latest mr4 radio from hboot.

Without the sd card, I was able to get it booted once after each flash. Unplugging it forced it right back into boot loop(whether card was in or not).

The only options that work are hboot, and fast boot. Neither connects to adb, or the all in one tool.

Can I flash a regular rom from hboot? I have previous version of thundershed, and various stock roms on the SD card?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remillard:
I've tried RUU both .9 and .19 both seem to flash fine. But after reboot same boot loop. After trying a few more times flashing various RUU I flashed .19 again. After rebooting the phone I was able to get into the phone, everything setup fine, google account, wireless, etc. But after rebooting again. Back in same boot loop. I've also tried using 2 different SD card to rule out a bad SD. Unfortunately same thing. Starting to think this is hardware not a bad rom or firmware.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyagee:
Ok I tried a factory wipe, no go either....

Tried installing regular rom renamed as "pg....." that didn't work.

So I've been told as long as you have hboot you can fix anything...Not sure whats next? At this point I'd be happy to start over.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dizzyman1180:
Okay, I'm gonna try and see if I can get a dev to check out this thread for you guys. Because I am not sure what to tell you to do next at this point. Its exceeded my knowledge.

Dizzyman any help is appreciated. Thanks for taking an interest and trying to help!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyagee:
ok, I am not exactly sure what happened...I left my phone with no sim, no memory card and no battery alone for about 7 hours.

I came home with the intent to flash twrp from fastboot usb. I plugged it into usb port, put memory card and battery in. The phone on its own turned on, and voila it was in Clockwork.

Note the SIM card was not in the phone. I accidentally left it in the other tbolt I am replacing.

I factory wiped, cleared cache, and then installed thundershed from zip on SD. It has booted twice and seems to be running as it should be.

I put the sim card in and now its boot looping again. Removing the sim it boots and runs fine. The sim works fine on another thunderbolt, so I must assume the sim is fine.

I compared phones both were running the same rom and same radios. Kernels were different so I flashed imoseyon kernel to match the working phone. No go still boot looping.

Assurion sent me a "new" retail sim. Verizon told me to use my old one in the new phone. However the "new" phone will boot loop continuosly with old sim card. I have verified that the rom, radios, etc are all the same.

The mystery deepens...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remillard:
Attempted the above on my device but no luck. Just same reboot loop. Just FYI. Thanks for the tip.

Rem
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyagee:
Even the different sim, eventually led to the same issue. I finally just convinced assurian that my replacement phone is defective (which is may be).

The only thing I can think of is that the jelly rom, combined with the all in one root tool somehow made a bad situation or the phone is simply defective.

Now my task is to see if I can flash something to make this stock...lol...I really don't want to send back a phone to assurion with clockwork and revolution on it if I can help it.

I suspect its going to be tricky as ADB doesn't work..
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyagee:
Here is where I stand.

1. Flashed a stock room, through hboot

2. Flashed a stock hboot through hboot. (this didn't work, revolution is locked)

3. I rebooted back to hboot.

4. removed sim card, and sd car.

5. Then I selected "Recovery" it went into standard recovery i let it sit for a bit, then it rebooted on its own back to stock, unactivated state.

I used the files from this thread

After this is seems to function perfectly normal, except I still have a revolutionary boot loader, and soff.

I let the phone reboot, and once it loaded I was able to get adb to work perfectly fine. I then returned to the above guide and fixed the boot loader, and s-off as directed. Its now completely stock. I mean it might be a version or so from whats current but a simple ota update would take care of it.

Its all brand new...Of course, I am still going to return it to asurian as I have no idea if it had a hardware issue, or what it was.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remillard:
Tonyagee that's for the step by step. Tried on my Tbolt. Still boot looping. I appreciate you documenting what you did THANK YOU!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyagee:
Your welcome...I definitely was on the edge of my skill set for sure....
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dst1134:
So my thunderbolt is is in the same boat. The main cause for the boot looping seems to come from unplugging the usb from charging.

Mine will randomly stop the infinite boot looping and boot up. Sometimes it's quick. Sometimes it will take hours.

Most of the time when I manage to get it to run it is very difficult to get back into a custom recovery. It has to reboot the phone to get into recovery which most of the time just puts it into the infinite boot loop again.

If I plug mine into a computer it will charge but will not recognize the phone.

I've tried every fix known to man. No luck. I've come to deal with it as I've had this problem for two or three months now.

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

Mine has done the same thing. I read that one of the failsafe ways to boot up clock work mod recovery is that it will automatically boot up after a battery pull and turn the phone back on with it plugged in.

If I plug the phone in while it is completely shut down it automatically powers it on and 9 times out of 10 it randomly reboots but sometimes it will boot up into recovery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mooneyspam:
For the people who get a full boot up then the phone starts randomly bootlooping, try turning airplane mode on. If it doesnt reboot at all it may be what happened to my phone. Guessing it was something with the towers here. I was finally able to turn airplane mode off and quickly enter the LTE On/Off settings and turn CDMA Only on and it stopped for me. I'm in a 3g only area and for some reason having the LTE turned on made it bootloop over and over, usually when it got to the point of connecting to 3g after regular signal.

just curious, has anyone made any mods to work with jellybean? the stuff i've seen about changing the color temp is for ICS and ICS roms/kernels. this phone has a real bad yellow tint to it compared to my rezound, so i'd like to make it look a bit cooler if possible. anyone have any input? thanks!

jesus christ, almost $4 just to make my screen something that it should've been from the factory? no thanks.

thanks for the info, though. ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
You can use root explorer to change it. He just has an app that uses a GUI instead. And yeah I know 4$ is a lot for some shell commands...

Here are the files to change. Multipler is the RGB multipliers. v1_offset is the RGB gamas. Highprefor enables high performance audio. Either 0 or 1. For off and on. And volume boost is yhe amount. 1-3.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayochs:
cool! my question to you: did you have one of those launch nexus phones with the horrible yellow tint to the screen? i'm just trying to make it look a bit more natural like my rezound, that's all. his stock settings for the kernel looked god awful..it was drenched in blue and actually hurt my eyes! i went back to the stock kernel and the yellow tint actually looked much better to me lol i'm trying to figure out what settings will do just that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
It did have a tint of yellow to it. But my values should be good... I'll post em.

Yes the multiplier is the same but the gamas make the difference.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayochs:
hey thanks for the info. unfortunately, it's still way too blue for my tastes. should i play with the RGB then rather than the gamma?

changing these things seems to do absolutely nothing. is trinity kernel's stock setting over riding these settings or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayochs:
actually, every time i reboot, it goes back to the original settings, so i can't change them with this trinity kernel. wonder if this guy did that so you have to buy his app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:
Just make a post in the trinity thread, they'll be more than happy to help you get your screen set up. (For free too, so you don't have to sacrifice that one more gin and tonic or whatever you drink :rolleyes: )

Me, I just use the default colors. Morfic and I have similar screens in our phones, apparently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayochs:
perhaps I will. didn't know if they would just shoe people away and tell them to buy the app if they want it working or if they'd actually give you a hand... didn't wanna go in there asking first and looking like an asshat by the end lol :P either way I just went back to stock kernel for now... yeah its a little warmer and yellowish of a hue, but his kernel was way too blue stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
It shouldnt... are you changing them with root explorer and then saving the files? it should apply as soon as you save them. And yes play with the gamas. If anything just lower the the last value in Multiplier which is the Blue value. I'd lower it to 190 or 195. Then make the Blue gama -4 or so... play with them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:
It's like a different world in there. :p

Nothing like the rest of xda.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
i shouldnt comment on this, but this is just ignorant. the app is just for people that want to support the developer of the wonderful kernel. all it is is a simple gui that makes controlling the kernel easier. everything the app can do, you can do without the app. you dont have to have it to enjoy the kernel. and yes, you can set stuff to boot up how you like with the app. now the comment about the developer doing it on purpose so that you have to buy the app is just wrong and disrespectful of one of the best developers on xda, and probably the developer that supports his users and helps them more than any out there. i think he deserves an apology from you for making a comment like that without even knowing who he is. beside, look at my signature in this post :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayochs:
i think you're taking what i said a little too seriously, guy.

it was just conjecture. meant no disrespect to anyone; it was simply my thought process.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayochs:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayochs:
look man, i'm not going to argue with you. you took what i said way too seriously, and it just shows you need to lighten up. like i had already stated, i meant no disrespect to anyone by what i said; it was a simple thought process. nowhere in there did i say "wow, this guy is blatantly blocking the use of manually modding these settings so we have to buy his app!! get your pitchforks, boys!" and you know why i didn't say that? because what i wrote wasn't intended to be taken that way!

seriously? chill out. it was a simple question because i've seen devs before who offered things and then wanted "donations" to unlock full use of their creation, sometimes at ridiculous prices. i donate when i have a dev that i like, especially when they don't do something like that. but clearly, as a few have pointed out here, this isn't the case for this dev. but again, i think you're taking what i said way too seriously.

again, for me, i was simply looking for a way to un-yellow the tint on my nexus. i was looking to do it manually, since i'm new to this phone, and the reason i got it was that it's supposed to be super customizable, more so than i'm used to coming from HTC products, meaning i want to be able to do it on my OWN. therefore, i didn't see a justification in spending $4 on an app i'd use once and most likely never use again (like i spent the $2.50 or so on LogoME, which i used only once just to change back the splash screen on my nexus because the dude who sold it to me had some Michigan state logo on there.)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
For the record, it doesn't matter what you use, those settings don't stick after a reboot because the files get generated from the ramdisk each time. That's why all the kernel control apps set them during boot. Your other option is to use an init.d script, which I do just to have the colors set as early as possible, but I also paid for Franco's app because he deserves it and the app is excellent for controlling his kernel. I'm sure the same can be said for morfic and Trinity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:
Unyellowing is free.

To unblue well that'll cost you a cheeseburger ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morfic:
You can't save values in a virtual filesystem like sysfs

If you want your settings to persist on any kernel for any sysfs value you create a file, make it executable and stick it in /etc/init.d/

inside you

echo "-10" > /sys/module/panel_s6e8aa0/parameters/contrast

and so on, add your gamma, and your multipliers and aftger this they will "persist", meaning on each bootup they will be rewritten

This works on every rom that supports init.d scripts.

Hope this helps.

thanks for the writeup! only question is that I don't have an init folder under etc.. so do I just create one and create a text document?

Yea alot my friends want to xfer to boost for their low price plans but wanted a awesome phone. Now with the et4 in the future if roam is not a big deal for a persons cell usage and sprint coverage is good for their needs this is a no brainer.

Heck i pay half for unlimited everything compaired to what i was paying with sprint, not having roaming is no big deal for my cell usage so that is ok.
