Well I've really done it now! I have been running my Thunderbolt rooted using the CM7 RC for a while and decided that I would like to see the official Gingerbread in action. I restored to my stock rooted backup and tried getting the update. It started to work but then got stuck at a screen with the bugdroid and an exclamation point surrounded by a yellow triangle. I pulled the battery and then booted back in only to have it give me the same screen after booting. I then decided I didn't mind wiping the phone anyways so I followed the instructions here (http://www.droid-life.com/2011/09/2...date-appears-to-be-ready-as-build-2-11-605-3/) to install the ruu that leaked over the weekend. It displayed a failure during the update and asked me to reboot. Since then it only boots to the bootloader no matter what i do and has the pink ***LOCKED***, ***SECURITY WARNING*** at the top. It also now says MECHA XD SHIP S-ON, HBOOT-1.05.0000, MICROP-/, RADIO-1.16.00.0223r, eMMC-boot, Jul 19 2011, 14:51:08. I read that the revolutionary tool might be able to fix this, went over to their irc and they say i need to boot the phone to use that. They also said i am basically screwed. Please if anyone knows what to do I could REALLY use some help!

I don't know for sure but at this point I would say that you could try installing one of a couple officially released RUUs via hboot - perhaps performing the manual root method may prove fruitful as well.
For the record, you should NEVER try installing am official update unless you are pure stock, no root, and S-On unless the devs say it's okay.
