Resetting the networks on a ThunderBolt can be useful for:

A first confirmation message will appear reminding you that all mobile network, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth settings on your HTC ThunderBolt will be deleted. This means you will have to reconfigure the mobile data network, re-enter Wi-Fi network passwords, and all paired Bluetooth devices will be unpaired, and therefore you will have to pair them again to use them.

Once the process is complete, for the HTC ThunderBolt to obtain mobile network data, I recommend removing the SIM card and reinserting it after a few minutes. You may receive a message from your network operator with the correct settings.

You will also need to reconfigure the Wi-Fi networks you wish to connect to and pair the Bluetooth devices to use them.
