So how many times did your TBolt reboot this weekend?

[rugbyua9]

same here....called verizon cust service and they said the only work-around was to do a hard reset (wipes everything off your phone and erases everything)....not sure what i'm going to do but its affecting my business

Don't do that it doesnt work. Thats just buying them time.

Im on Thunderbolt #3 which has already rebooted 5 times this morning.

Factory reset didn't work for my reboot issue either. I'm waiting for the OS patch.

Well my phone was rooted and I was running Bamf 1.63 remix but before that it was 1.6 something and I was getting the reboot several times a day.

I restored my phone back to stock and I was still getting several reboots a day.

Went to verizon yesterday and got the same response, do the hard reset while they were talking to the tech people. All of this started after the 4g went down. Prior to that no problems at all

So hard reset did not work and they are shipping me out a replacement phone that I will have tomorrow.

So my phone was on the old operating system not the new update and I still had the problem so its not the update, it has something to do with 4g going down

Techs said its the phone but I don't know why the 4 g going down would do anything to my phone which was rooted at the time with the above remix

Got my first reboot today

I did a factory reset (which I was completely against, but just couldn't handle the reboots every hour) and I have gone all day without one! I would suggest you guys give it a try if you have not already done so. I am pretty pleased.

 

[soccerfon711]

And just like that, I had 2 reboots in the past 30 minutes. Whatever the reset did seemed to work for a little bit, but the problem is definitely still prevalent. Please get a fix out Verizon/HTC!

I did the hard reset this morning after Verizon reccomended it. Already rebooted twice. The Thunderbolt is obviously faulty. I will request my 3rd replacement tomorrow.

My fricken phone started rebooting, called VZW and they never heard of this problem. Here comes a certified-like new Thunderbolt.

I hate to buck the trend here, but I was rooted this weekend, running BAMF 6.3 and a learn kernel, but I still had about 3-4 reboots, all while I was in the car. Makes me think that it really is something to do with the towers. I went back to stock today, and I am going to run it stock for while to see if that helps...

QUOTE=mclarryjr;934553]I'm not trying to tell anyone they need to root their phone but I have only had a reboot a few times right after flashing a Gingerbread ROM which is expected. If you do decide to root make sure you read up first and ask a question if your not sure, we have a number of experienced members in the hacks section.

Man I really feel bad for you guys. I have had one reboot every 7 to 10 days or so and most of those are probably due to kernel settling issues.

I'm rooted on the recent radio. I do a factory reset once a week though by flashing roms.

I think it's partly network related. Judging by how many replacement phones have the same issues.

 

[Sparkyvett]

The factory reset didn't work for me. I average 2 to 5 reboots a day even after doing the hard reset. I'm just waiting for a correct fix. I don't want a defective refurb phone like what they sent my buddy. I have Zagg screen protector and skins on my phone and I don't want to loose them to only have the same problem when I get the replacement.

0 reboots since I've owned the phone. Rooted and flashed it the night I got this bad boy. And have had 0 reboots on GB das bamf rom. Freaking loving this phone, the new 2.0beta5 has had amazing battery life. Sucks that others aren't experiencing what some of us are.

so where do you get that rom at

 

[koalabear]

I got a replacement late last week, did NOT seek or install an update - and NO reboots in 5 days, it works people just get them to send you a new phone.

 

[Chrisy]

Factory reset don't fix it and replacement phones are sometimes worse than those they replaced. Rooting and flashing doesn't guarantee a bug free device either. I'm getting tired of people.say.g to just shut up and install a new ROM.

[robdec17]

Rooted with BAMF and the latest radio for a month now and not one reboot or shutdown.

 

[nmscuba]

Well after rooting and unrooting the reboots continued so last night I decided to unmount my sd card, formatted it and so far it has not rebooted at all.

Everythings been good. I might be speaking early but I have about 12 hrs on it now without a reboot where I was getting several a day.

See what happens, my replacement phone is due today so maybe I will wait till tomorrow to try it and see if this fixes anything

Rebooting woes? Return the phone for a replacement and wait for yet another fix.

Wow, you are soooo negative. I thought people who bought Droid phones expected bugs and enjoyed rooting and fixing their phones to get them to work properly.

That's alpha firmware so there's always a chance that your phone might go in smoke since there's a reason Verizon hasn't pushed it out yet. I assure you that a much higher percentage of rooted/rom'd users are happy with their devices than the percentage that are non-rooted. Plus those who don't want to risk staying on Gingerbread can always flash back to Froyo-based das BAMF 1.7 which is still 100x better than the latest OTA Froyo build.

I haven't experienced a single reboot... I just moved from a Nexus One and when I first powered up the TB I was prompted to download the OTA. I said no, and rooted the phone with the MR1/OTA from XDA... Currently running the Tesla Coil ROM with Imoseyon's lean kernel.
