I rooted and installed the leaked OTA. After hearing about the possible 2.2 I tried to downgrade the radio. Something messed up along the way and now I'm stuck with an incredible that is showing no internal memory (won't even let me save a picture), will not read an SD card and keeps rebooting when I remove the usb cable. I'm stuck in a real hard place. If anyone can assist me in restoring my phone and how to go about it, it would be appreciated. Also it is now showing my phone as an unknown device when I connect to the pc and I can not get into adb.
Can you reboot into recovery? (power off, then hold volume down while powering back on) then select recovery?
If you can get into clockworkmod recovery, we can get you back up and running.
do a hard reset. if that doesnt work, take it back to vzw and make up a story on how it got the way it is.
TIP: i dont think you can downgrade the radio.

I started following this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeuiURZZZds and after trying to run 'flash_image misc mtd0.img', it said I did not have enough memory so I just unplugged the phone and tried to reboot, but it brought me to the recovery console and it's the stock one. So the stock img was able to install. I don't even have clockwork now. I should have left it alone. I have a constant sd card icon with a ?.
just hard reset or ruu . if this doesnt work, then i think you bricked your radoio. do you have 3g?

Jd is right. Just ruu back to the leaked ota. If you can get to stock recovery you should be able to ruu. Once your back up and running we might be able to help you downgrade. First things first.
Just tried the hard reset it was a no go. I have 3G service and I made some calls to make sure it worked. After the hard reset it is still showing the sd card icon with ?. For the RUU do I need any drivers because the phone is showing up now as an unknown device.
Just give it a shot.
ruu is the way to go. your problem is more sever than hard reset fixijg.

P.s. If you follow the downgrade tutorial by "IncredibleDoes" you can use an sdcard adapter and put the card into your pc (since your phone usb drivers aren't working), copy the "pb31img" file over, then reboot back into hboot, and it will put you right back to the original stock in one step.
If you have a card reader on your pc, turn the phone off, put the card in the pc and make sure it's formatted properly. Then put the ruu file on the card. (Follow the instructions in the unroot sticky topic.) Then put card back in phone and boot into stock recovery. It should apply the update.

hows the ruu going?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
I'm still trying. It's not looking good. Hboot is still version .79 after I flashed the stock img. I'm probably going to have to call it a night for now though. I'll be back tomorrow to trouble shoot it some more. I'll write more after I try it again. Thanks for the help tonight!
of you need additional help feel free to pm me anytime.

Hboot is NOT going to downgrade....no matter what you do. The stock (pre-ota) rom will run fine with the newer hboot version.

Yes it will downgrade, as the ota leak is a newer version of .79. that is, if you follow the procedure right.
Also, yes you can downgrade the radio, in response to an earlier post.
If you got out of memory type messages running through that method, then you did it wrong. Maybe you tried it outside of clockwork? I haven't watched the video to do it, but seeing how I made the original post for it, I know it works.
Interesting! I wasn't aware of that breakthrough (hboot downgrade).
In that case, I suggest ruu'ing back to the leaked OTA (so that your USB and SD are both working again), then try following the instructions that adrynalyne referenced.
Good Luck.

I ruu'ed the img. The phone starts up and works normally. Except it still shows the internal and SD card memory as unavailable and the usb restarting after removing the cable. I tried to reload the leaked OTA through recovery, but it gets an error saying the file is not on the SD card.
I rooted then unrooted my phone. Or else I thought I unrooted it and the first time I tried to boot back up it did nothing. I tried popping the batt out and that didn't work. Can't boot to "boot up" menu by hitting power and volume down either.
Thoughts?
What was the process you took to unroot it? That will help us figure out what may have went wrong.
root problem
I downloaded
PB31IMG.zip
I copied the zip file to my SD card and booted with power and down volume. Selected update then when it was supposed to restart it did nothing.
OH F*** did you check the md5

Where did you get it from? Im willing to bet you have an SLCD and you downgraded to 2.1
I'm sorry I don't know what MD5 is. I'm a novice at this. I can't put the website on the blog here until after the 8th post I believe to prevent spam.

What is the site that led you to this DL link??
I can tell you thats exactly what you did. You can run the RUU or flash the correct PB31IMG through hboot blindly
Correct PB31IMG: http://dougpiston.com/files/RUU/bui...and-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip
RUU: http://dougpiston.com/files/RUU/RUU...4k_NV_1.70_PRL58006_release_152016_signed.exe
You'll need to install HTC sync to run the RUU.

That would be awesome. When you get a moment if you could provide the link that would be great. In the meantime, I'll charge my bb pearl when I get home. No joke...that's my backup phone.
I forgot the mention that I formated my sd card to FAT32 prior to moving the unroot zip file there.
I googled "HTC Incredible unroot" and it was a few links down.
Ok,
I got the RUU file and I do have HTC Sync on my computer. I'm assuming I need to reformat my SD card prior to doing anything else? After that I'm lost as to the step by step.

^^with the RUU it's pretty much this
1. have more than 30% battery
2. DO NOT UNPLUG AFTER IT HAS STARTED
3. run the RUU and follow the instructions
4. hopefully have a working Incredible instead of an Incredible Paperweight
( I did the same thing as you with my first Inc so I know )
EDIT: I see no need to format the SD card again, the phone can use it just fine on FAT32
Download and install HTC sync on to your pc. Then plug in phone to PC and run the RUU
All,
Boom! It works. I'm very grateful for your help. I ran the RUU, which went for about 5-10 min. I hit the power button and it works. Genius.
I downloaded an and flashed an Incredible Rom and I have an HTC Evo.
It is now stuck at the HTC screen, and when I boot into recovery mode, and go to "recovery" it just takes me to Fastboot USB."
Usually it would take me to I believe Clockwork recovery?
Is there any chance you guys can help me or point me in the right direction =/
I really hope I didn't brick me phone. I've been searching online for hours and can't find anything that works. Even downloading the android-usb-driver.zip
I figure as long as I can get into Clockwork recovery or somehow read my SD card from my Phone I can just flash something else to fix it? I can't seem to find a way to do that though =/
Thank you for helping this moron in advance
First off you are not bricked ( take a deep breath) now since you can go into the bootloader you are going to flash clockworkmod from the bootloader look for his thread and download it
evo on cm7
Thank you for your prompt reply.
The thing is, I don't know how to Flash clockword mod from Bootloader. I know I have all the files on my SD card, since I've been rooted for a while and have flashed other roms, I just don't know how to access and flash it. Even if I did not have the file (which I believe I do,) I wouldn't know how to get it onto the SD card and flash it.
Thanks for all your help
PS, it has S -OFF.
Please someone help i'm freaking out here.
Calm down, are you holding volume down and power when you turn the phone on?

pull your card, if you have a card reader, put the pc36img for Amon Ra on the root of yo sdcard, put it in the phone, boot up by holding power and vol down at the same time, you'll go to bootloader. it'll scan, find the pc36img (which must be named PC36IMG.ZIP) and ask if you want to update, select yes, then it'll install recovery.
You can do a search for dougjamal. he has a link to the Amon Ra file in his signature, so find one of his posts
Thanks HipKat!
My friend is coming with his Galaxy S. I'll just put my USB in his phone, download the file to the SD card, pop it back into mine, and it should work, right?
THank you so much.
Can I message you for further help?
LMK how I can use the "Thanks" button. Still somewhat new to this.
I'm at work, so I can't stay on here. That dougjamal guy is really good and has links in his sig for a lot of important files.
IF the AR ps36img file doesn't work, you may have to run the RUU and start over fro mstock, and he has a link to the RUU files in his signature, too. just make sure you use the one for your device in the same way as I described the Amon Ra file, then you'll have to re-root.
ALSO, if you used unrEVOked to root your phone, go to their site and get the s-off tool and run that from recovery, if you're able to get to recovery before you run RUU (I doubt you have to run RUU though. I'm thinking recovery should work for you)
If you still need help you can pm me for it.

Not sure if caps makes a difference or not but try naming it PC36IMG.zip instead of pc36img.zip. All my PC36IMG files are always in caps and I've never had an issue at all.
I got it figured out. I had to reformat the sd and it went perfectly.Thank you guys for the help.
I purchased a used droid incredible off of ebay to fix. The phone powers on but doesn't get past the droid incredible splash screen. It is able to boot into HBOOT but when the recovery option is selected it just goes back to the white splash screen. There is no sd card but I have put one in myself..it's not formatted and it's empty. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
What info is detailed in hboot? S-on, s-off, etc; provide any relevant info that you see once you boot into hboot. Do you know what os the phone is on: froyo, GB? Did the seller provide info on how the phone got in this situation?
Here's a photo of hboot. The owner said one day it just turned off and went to the splash screen. It was not rooted.

Aight, you may have to perform a factor reset. Have you done that yet? If so, you may have to download an RUU from here:
pvillecomp.com
It is under "Stock images." One download link is for the froyo RUU and the other is for Gingerbread. Place the file onto the root of your sd card in no folders and then boot into hboot. Hboot should prompt you to upgrade using the volume buttons.
Factory reset did not work. I will try the second option and get back to you
thanks!!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I would not do the gingerbread ruu as that will upgrade the radio making it harder to root. I would try the froyo ruu first, if that works run unrevoked.
When I boot into hboot nothing happens. I'd this because the RUU is an exe?
Edit: I'm downloading the PB31IMG file now
Edit 2: The PB31IMG didn't seem to work. It said SD checking ..loading PB31IAG.zip: no image. And the same for PB31DIAG.nbh, PB31IMG.zip and .nbh

Is your sdcard fat32?
Yes it is. PB31img didn't work and RUU says I have under 30% battery so I'm just charging the phone. If the phone wasn't even rooted in the first place what could the cause of the problem be?
jared, did you ever get this to work? I have one that is doing the exact same thing.
I did not! I tried to use the RUU through the computer and it seemed to restore everything but the radios but then failed. I was then prompted to do a recovery and try again but the phone went black and would not power on no matter how much I charged it.
That sucks....thanks for the reply though.
So I figured I would give you an update.
I ended up trying several micro SD cards (ones that I had laying around the house), started with SanDisk 2GB, then a Transcend 1GB, and finally a generic 4GB HC. When I used the generic 4GB, the Inc was able to see the PM31img file and downloaded and did the upgrade. Only problem is that I used the gingerbread image, and not sure what happened (my guess is slcd issue) but the radio failed everything else passed. When it rebooted I have nothing, no display and it doesn't look like it will even power up.
So I figured I would let you know, since I was having basically the identical issue you were, that it might be your micro SD card. But make sure you have the correct image on it too before you start swapping SD cards.
