If you can’t wait for Verizon to fix the issue, xda provides the following fix that will get you back on 3G speeds until the network is fixed. Personally, we are just using WiFi today, and hoping for a speedy recovery.
How to Fix 4G Outage on HTC Thunderbolt
- Dial ##778#
- Press Call button
- The password is 000000
- Choose Edit Mode
- Go to Modem Settings
- Choose Rev A
- Switch from eHRPD to Enable
- Press OK
- Commit Modifications (reboot phone off/on)
Keep in mind you’ll likely need to change this back to get your phone back to normal after the nationwide Verizon 4G LTE outage is fixed.
The issue has cut speeds down from the incredibly fast speeds we are used to back to near dial-up speeds of 129kbps down and 151kbps up, compared to the normal 4G speeds that are measured above 12MBps down and 5MBps up or higher.

OK if any of you out there have done this change to your phone to get 3 G service while 4 G service was down just reverse the steps and then pull the battery out for 15 -20 seconds to do a soft reset and re-install battery and turn phone on you should have 4 g service again I did it and it works.

I got mine to go back to eHPRD. ?? Used the steps in reverse as well. Try it again.
So under Settings-About-Network, yours says eHRPD for Network Type? Are you in a 3G-only area? I had mine set to eHRPD and went to bed with 1x, woke up with 3G but it's Rev-A as the network type. Still shows rev A after switching it to enabled rebooting and then switching it back to eHRPD.

I don't think it's really related to changing the setting. Some are reporting that they're stuck on Rev A and didn't change anything. I'm wondering if they just changed the default network in the switch just to get people back up and running.

I should have looked here before posting in the other thread... I am stuck on rev.A and did not do the manual fix yesterday. Was at 1x all day yesterday. This morning 3g is back but on rev A now. I am not in a 4g area.
