HELP!!! - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've had my phone rooted for about 2 weeks now. I've been playing around with ROMs and their all great. Now, I have a huge problem and I don't know how to solve it. My phone loops on me when I try to get into Recovery (Clockwork). what should I do? ADB is not working anymore. FREAKIN Windows 7!!! I have an unrevoked bootscreen and the phone stalls. So I have no ROM on the phone. Any help getting my phone working again would be appreciated.

Have you tried to reflash the Clockwork?

Did you update your radio? If not RUU it. It will wipe you back to the pre root stock image.

he said he can't get into clockwork so he won't be able to do any of that.

ok. I'm liking what I'm seeing because it sounds like this is fixable. However, The phone has been completely wiped and I'm lost as to what to do to try to recover an image. Please point me to a link with directions.
ps - Thanks for all the help.

Do you need a clockwork image? Its at www.unrevoked.com/forever
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I have a copy of clockwork, but how can I flash it when I can't use unrevoked because I can't get any further than the initial boot screen on the phone to establish USB debugging.

Put it into a PB31IMG.zip with an android info.txt from a splash screen....MAKE SURE THAT THE CLOCKWORK IMAGE IS NAMED recovery.img

I also have s-off. I'm probably over thinking this whole thing. If I could get clockwork back on the phone, things would be fixable very quickly.

You are awesome. Worked like a charm!!! Thank you so much!!!

Very haooy it worjed for you.

Original htc recovery

I rooted and flashed clockwork orange. Now I want to revert back to complete stock recovery and all. How do I do this? I don't know if this is the right area for this topic.

flash the RUU .exe which will load the stock system, recovery, kernel and everything.
If I were to restore my EVO to stock, then run the official Sprint OTA update that just came out, will I still be able to root it? Or does the new update block Toast's root method?
Clockwork ORANGE??? lmao! I loved the movie though, loved it... U mean clockwork mod right? Oh yea just get the stock RUU.

This is EXACTLY what I say in my head when speaking about Clockwork Mod.
I was able to get past waiting for bootloader by putting the phone in bootloader mode before running the RUU. But it gives an error message saying the bootloader version is incorrect.
dammit all i want is to go back to stock no root no nand because 4g is broken with these new ota rooted crap that came out today!
Can someone post the stock recovery or a method of going back to a stock recovery pleaseeeeeee

The steps below worked for me. I had the latest clockwork,dc rom and The latest rooted ota updates installed.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/
I unplugged/plugged my phone into the computer a couple times,switched to htc sync mode when it asks what type of usb connection I wanted(to install more driver updates), and did 2 reboots on my computer (windows 7 ultimate x86) to get all the drivers updated/installed and working as they should,
then I just turned off the phone, held volume down and held down power button to get to bootloader,
then I pressed Power button one more time to get to the menu where I can reboot bootloader,
then I rebooted bootloader once or twice BEFORE the unrooting process for good measure.
Stock RUUs
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
RECAP
Download and install HTC Sync Update http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/ (if you already have it installed then click the repair option, or better yet uninstall your current one even if it is the same one, reboot your computer and then install this one again, all for good measure.)
Download either one of the RUU Stock Roms, I would do the first just to be safe http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
Plug your phone into your computer, make sure ALL Drivers install properly if any, you may already have drivers installed, but double check, switch to HTC Sync mode and let it install any extra drivers, then turn off your phone and start it in bootloader (Hold Volume Down +Power button) Reboot your computer for good measure too, to make sure everything has been properly installed.
Then you can finally double click (right click run as admin imo) RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe and start the unrooting process, good luck!
Will this work if I have clockwork mod as my recovery?

if you have clockwork, you still have system access and should beable to use any of those RUU's to downgrade back to stock.
i did the same thing and now im back at stock and have latest update running stock rom.
put phone into bootloader mode, then run RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253.exe
follow steps. and then you should have stock evo.
check for OTA updates and install it.
wait 10-15 minutes before rebooting after the update completes..
mine kept saying there was an update. which there wasnt, it just kept trying to download same update.
Yes it should I had clockwork too.

Quick Question

So recently I tried running unrevoked 3.32 on my Evo. Unrevoked pushed all the files, flashed unrevoked forever, rebooted, then even after my phone rebooted sat on rebooting. After around 10 minutes of waitng, I would unplug the phone. One thing I noticed however was that when this happened, my phone can not be recognized by my computer again until I restart it. Any ideas?
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10
My hardware version is 0003, hboot 2.10, and software version 3.70.651.1
Note: When booting into the bootloader, it shows s-off so I know unrevoked forever was successful, however, I have no recovery flashed and no root.
I've seen this same issue, but in Windows. All the Windows user has to do is reboot PC and restart UR3 until it succeeds. Linux is likely different.
UR3 sometimes gets hung up and you just need to restart the process until it completes.

Thanks for the advice, will give this a shot.
After a restart can your computer see the sdcard? Maybe you can put the newest Amon_RA recovery PC36IMG.zip on the root of the sdcard so that bootloader will see it and install it. Then you can get into recovery, add the ROM of your chowing on there and flash it and be back up and running instead of being stuck in bootloop hell.

Haha that would be a good idea. However my phone does boot and works just fine just can't get root with unrevoked, only nand unlock.

Gotcha, my bad for misunderstanding. Maybe switch it up and try the script version on rooting?

Trying to recovery partially bricked phone

Okay, so a friend asks me to fix her Dinc... here's the story.
When I first got the dinc, it only powered up into FASTBOOT (HBOOT 0.92, Radio 2.15). The volume and power buttons don't work. She said it crashed when she FC a program to get more memory.
I tried to flash the phone using pb31img.zip on a newly formatted (fat32) sdcard. It scans the card and errors with older version.
Next I try to flash with RUU. That was successful and I can boot into the phone... in safe mode. In addition, if I shut down the phone and power up again, I get stuck in FASTBOOT and have to redo the RUU.
Okay, I figured with the phone booting into Froyo, all is not lost. I tried to use unrevoked to get root and poke around. That failed with error asking if firmware is too new.
I try to install z4root... that doesn't work either since safe mode seems to mean only default system programs work (I can install, but can't run). Probably why unrevoked failed also.
I'm starting to think it is a hardware issue since the RUU should have fixed everything.
Any ideas???
Thanks.

When it takes you back to hboot and it loads the ruu and it asks to update say no and it should ask if you want to reboot.... if it don't highlight fastboot tap the power button and it will take you to a menu scroll down till you hit reboot device and tap power button and it should reboot....

When it boots and goes into fastboot, none of the buttons are responsive. I have to pull battery.

As I mentioned, none of the buttons in fastboot seems to work, so I can't reboot, just a battery pull. Interestingly, when I have the pb31img there, it scans and tells me its an older version, but then the buttons work... reboots back into fastboot.
I'm thinking of trying the revert to 2.1 and go from there... is it safe to flash over the latest Froyo RUU with 2.15 radio with the following?
RUU_IncredibleC_Verizon_WWE_1.22.605.2_Radio_1.00.03.04.06_hboot_0.79_release_161494_NoDriver_0514.exe

Can't get the fastboot to recognize any pb31img.zip file now... it only worked when I first got the dead phone. Now that I have flashed with RUU, the fastboot won't recognize the pb31img file.
I'm going to have to try to manually flash or root using adb... trying to get all the files now.

It's always been s-on... could never get root, so couldn't get s-off, otherwise I would try flashing recovery and custom ROMS or poking around with Titanium and rebuilding apps from another dinc.

Any luck Woz?
Yes, Doug gave me a bunch of roms to flash. Nothing worked. The last step we did before I took a break was to get into recovery using adb. Then I wiped cache and data. That didn't seem to work. Flashed another rom using recovery. Nada.
I put the phone down for a few hours. Then I decided to crack it open to see if it was a refurb (cheap label makes me suspicious). Nothing unusual inside, I put it back together and powered on... the thing booted normally... everything worked.
Doug suspects it was the data/cache wipe, I don't know. I think it was the bug that got let out when I cracked it open.

[Q] Phone Stuck booting into Clockwork Recovery v5.0.2.0

Tried to root and flash a new rom. I believe the root worked however phone keeps rebooting into clockworkMod Recovery. Prior to rooting it i tried to downgrade my operating system but that didn't work. unlocked the htc bootloader and i was even able to flash clockworkMod Reocvery v6.0.1.1 touch on the phone. Still everytime that i install the rom which is cm7.1.0.1 it always reboots into CMR v5.0.2.0. I may have flashed recovery reboot onto the phone which may or may not explain what happened. i don't know. I just know that my phone is messed up and I want to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. I can bring up HBOOT and CMR 6 in addition to v5 but thats all i can bring up. Please HELP

[Q] Indefinite boot screen, regardless of ROM

Hi guys,
Hope you can help with the below. Ive recently bought this phone to be used globally.
I had unlocked (HTC dev), rooted, and ROMed, and it was running fine for a few days.
However, it was starting to freeze up on me and i pulled battery to prevent it from overheating. When I got home, I tried reflashing a few roms on it, but regardless of rom, I can't get past boot animation. I have tried with and without, fastboot flash boot boot.img, but either way has not helped get past bootloop.
I had wiped everything, even formatted the SD card but still nothing works. The phone is able to get to HBOOT and recovery, but am I SOL on this? Could it be something screwy with the partitions?
Any ideas? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Go to my dev thread n download antivenom sdw give that a shot then reinstall rom
