Battery Life Solution
If your having short battery life issues with your thunderbolt, I would suggest buying some cheap batteries off ebay and carrying a fully charged battery with you throughout the day. If your phone runs low, just swap the battery for the fully charged one. Most packages come with a wall charger just for the batteries, so it makes having extra, fully charged batteries very simple. I bought two 1500mAh batteries and a wall charger off ebay for $10 shipped. Yes, they aren't really 1500mAh batteries, but they do last me a good 6 or 7 extra hours after my OEM battery runs out. When I have a fully charged, extra battery in my pocket, I'm never afraid to use my phone to it's awesome potential.

According to @LayherDaddy, you might get bootloops if you wipe /data & flash the 20110307 GApps. If so, try lithid's, or another from XDA.

How to Flash Leaked Radio 1.16.00.0402
In order for this to work, the HTCThunderbolt needs to be S-OFF. Flashing the radio with a corrupt file or interrupting the flash, can brick the device, please proceed with caution.
Note: There have been reports of gps issues with this radio. Although, I have not had any problems myself.
1.) download the new radio Here
2.) You have to check the md5 sum! It should match this exactly. 8e166e93a9a72cb7955440720ba8869a
If you don’t know how to check the md5 sum watch the beginning of my video Here
3.) The file is already named correctly, so you just need to place it on the root of your sd card. Not in any folder or subfolder.
4.) Shutdown your phone. Then hold the volume down button and the power button until your phone boots to the bootloader. It should then find the zip file and ask you if you want to apply the update, select yes (volume up). It will flash, then tell you it was successful and push the power button to reboot.
