OK I just bought an Incredible a few days ago and tried my luck at rooting. I did a lot of research before hand and I am usually pretty good with this kind of stuff but obviously not good enough. I have tried everything I can find online but nothing seems to work properly. My phone came with stock 2.2 and I rooted with unrevoked 3. The rooting actually worked fine, there is s-off and I have the super user app, I have even been able to download the tethering app and use it. The main problem is that the Clockworkmod recovery screen does not pop up. No matter what I do, even right after the rooting process, my incredible goes to the HTC screen that is all white then a black bar or two appear on it, followed by a complete black screen with two white edges going down the sides. No green text nothing and then it just boots up normally. I have tried rooting on a mac, Windows xp (via boot camp), on a windows 7 computer. Nothing changes. I just wanna know is there something simple that I am just not doing properly, maybe some sort of setting that needs to get adjusted, I have selected charge only, remember this, and usb debugging. Please let me know if it is the fact that it is stock 2.2 and I have to wait until a new version of unrevoked comes out or am I doing something wrong. The phone works fine and everything for the time being but I want to be able to overclock, undervolt, remove bloatware, etc. I greatly appreciate any help that someone could give me. I am to the point of trying to find someone local and paying them, but it seems like no one nearby even knows how to do this or just has an iphone and can jailbreak that...lol....
So you ran unrevoked 3.21 first, which roots your phone and also installs clockworkmod. And then you ran unrevoked forever, which enables s-off. Correct?
How are you getting to recovery screen? Since you have superuser access, download the app Quickboot, which can reboot into recovery. If you flash everything right, and unrevoked had no issues, recovery should definitely be on there.
Download rom manager, titanium backup, and setcpu from market. Use TI to do a batch backup, use rom manager to boot into recovery. You will have to flash a different kernel to get anything out of setcpu, you could just pick a rom that has a modified kernel.

To get to the recover screen from a powered off stand point:
1. Phone powered off
2. hold down vol -(volume down) and Power button at the same time until hboot comes up.
3. hit the vol -(volume down) once or until Recovery is selected and press the power button once.
4. Should show splash screen of HTC Incredible and then should be in ClockworkMod Recovery.
To get to recovery while phone is running you can download couple apps that will do it. Rom Manager will which you can reboot into Clockword Recovery and many more things. As mentioned before Quickboot will work also.
You say you just got it, is this one of the new Incredibles with an SLCD screen (instead of AMOLED)? They are the ones with "VW3" at the end of the sku. If so from what I have read in the last few days it seems clockworkmod recovery does not support these yet. There are a few posts on this forum about this, try searching "slcd incredible clockworkmod" or some variations. The general idea seems to be that amon ra recovery is working on these phones and that you gotta use that instead of clockworkmod for now.
I have one of these on order and should be able to mess with it this week ...
Help! I just rooted my new Desire with the unrevoked method. Then I installed Rom Manager, saved its recovery mode and backed up my ROM. Everything seemed to go well enough, but now my Desire is stuck endlessly rebooting to the HTC Screen.
I can access the Clockmod Recovery screen however. I've tried the system reboot option but that just gets me the Htc screen rebooting again and again.
I'm pretty much a newbie to this and didn't want to choose another option (wipe data/factory reset, restore saved rom) without checking it out as I don't want to brick my new Desire.
Could someone give me a step by step plan for recovering my Desire?
Many thanks,
Joe
Nice thing you have a nandroid backup. Just restore the backup. it should work.

You have to wipe all the data and just flash a new Rom.

stuck on htc screen after using rom manager
Thanks for this. A couple of other newbie questions. As I understand it, I wipe the data using the Recovery option, and I found the how to flash a rom instructions. If I want a stock rom (like the one that came with the Orange Desire here in the UK) where would I get that? And do you think it might work if I restored the first backup I made, or do you think that's faulty...
Thanks again,
Joe
stuck on htc screen after using rom manager
Things went from bad to worse. My battery seemed to stop charging so I wasn't able to get back to the recovery screen, and when I plugged the desire into the computer via the usb cable I simply got a flickering htc screen. I've had to send it back to Orange.
This experience has certainly made me leary of rooting and using rom manager again!
Does anybody have any explanation of what went wrong?
Joe
When the phone gets stuck in that loop when its trying to boot it wont charge, im not sure why.
The same thing happend to me using Rom manager. (maybe its a bug with the new version, or maybe we just didnt use it right)
I managed to get my phone to charge by taking out the battery and putting it back in ... so the phone was off, put it into the charger until it was fully charged and then did the recovery.
Battery affected by rom manager?
There's an addendum to this story. I replaced my Desire but had the same problem again, which seemed to be down to the battery in the end. Is it possible that the (virtually new) battery was affected by either rooting or rom manager backing up the rom? It seems very weird!
Joe
This might work for you
Remember to power down your Desire totally and charge it for about 2 hours or so (just to be safe) and continue.
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck

Thanks for the long reply. Sadly, I'm unable to test it out as I had to return my phone to Orange. I'm still rather mystified by what happened in the end (how could rooting affect a battery?) but I'll keep your reply on hand in case it happens next time I root.
Joe
Hey, I rooted, s-off/hbooted my phone and used Clockworkmod to install a ROM.
Now it won't go away no matter what I've tried and I want to be able to turn my phone off and charge it without seeing that annoying recovery screen.
I've backed up all my apps on to SD, wiped data and factory resetted with CWM and the phones built in factory reset yet it still comes back to haunt me.
What do I need to do to make this go away and revert my phone back to it's original out of box state?
CWM should come with an uninstall guide and a notice of how annoying this is, I see it's quite a widespread problem for everyone trying to calibrate the battery with no clear answer
Install the correct HTC RUU for your desire hd.

Much appreciated, you get my first thanks.
For anyone else in need here's where I got mine (every other ROM and RUU is there too)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868610
Just to be sure, can I just put the RUU on my storage card and use CWM recovery to install it?
Thanks for the.. thanks lol
I don't know but it really doesn't matter, better if you flash it from bootloader. If you were eng hboot s-off then your dhd will become 100% stock (if you installed the correct htc ruu). If you were radio s-off you will still have s-off afterwards. I don't think this affects warrentee issues as long as you have installed the correct rom.
On another note, I am sure I read somewhere some instructions on how to calibrate your battery and fix this problem. But you may have to do a little searching for it.

Maybe I am being simple but I see this posted everywhere as a problem, it in no way affects battery calibration, yes when the phone is turned off and plugged in it boots into recovery (it also does this with the stock ROM) so what? It's still charging and from CW you can then wipe the battery stats which is required to complete your calibration anyway.
What exactly is the problem with it booting into CW when turned off and plugged in
and to answer the question, reflash with the appropriate RUU
Or just flash recovery.img from a stock rom
Is the s-off that stops the receiving of OTA's ?

First of all I'd like to thank everyone for the responses, should be able to get things sorted now.
In response to the charging in CWM, I tried it for over an hour after full charge on and the LED remained amber, I turned the phone back on and the battery was at 99% which leads me to believe that it doesn't actually charge in CWM recovery, I tried this on stock and within 10 minutes after full charge on I got the green light off. I've asked in other threads if anyone can confirm the phone charge whilst in CWM but so far no confirmation, just similar results.
I'll keep my eyes pealed for answers but I don't think it works with CWM and can't find a way to charge whilst off without CWM recovery popping up.

I have spent quite a while in recovery and I am fairly sure it's charging I wouldnt be surprised that the green led didn't function though? I don't really see how it wouldn't charge surely it a hardware thing when the power is attached?
Update: I use QtADB to give a GUI interface to ADB, have spent the past 15 minutes monitoring the battery state whilst in Clockwork recovery and it is most defintetly charging so you needn't worry about that
I bought the phone from Hong Kong with stock ROM. Rooted, S-Off and installed CWM but never flashed any ROM. But I have same the problem, screen will boot to recovery when I want to charge. I found there are a lot of DHD guys have the same problem here in China or Hong Kong..... and no solution found in any forum here yet. Some said it's a bug on CWM.
Anyway. I found an alternative myself. Instead of using the DHD original charger, I used the I9000 charger to charge the DHD. It worked perfectly (100% charged) and no recovery screen appeared so far......
Hey guys!
I have the original Desire HD stock ROM but I have clockwork mod recovery.
Could you guys provide a step by step guide on how to remove and replace with original recovery image?
I would really appreciate all the help!

I have a file recovery.img. How do I flash it to the DHD?
I'd like to know this as well. I have the Clockwork bootloader installed. It's OK, but I changed my mind - I'd like to keep this phone as close as possible to factory-standard and use a different phone for hacking. Is there a step-by-step guide to reverting a DHD back to normal so I can benefit from the regular OTA updates?
Thanks!
Reflashing the ruu is the hard and long way.
Just download the stock recovery.img which west2cool was good enough to post for me. (Cheers again I didn't really feel like installing windoze just for that).
Then use fastboot - "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

And make sure it is FASTBOOT mode. Flashing fails otherwise (unless I did something stupid).
Sorry, I'm a newb at this.
When I boot by doing vol-down + pwr I get a mainly white screen with three Androids skateboarding at the bottom. At the top it says
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0007
The top option is "FASTBOOT", so I press pwr once to select that.
Next I see four options:
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
I do not see an option to reflash a recover image.
If I go into "RECOVERY", I see the green text on a black background of ClockworkMod v2.5.1.3. There is an option to apply an update.zip, however that's clearly not the same thing as I was instructed to do.
Detailed step by step instructions would be much appreciated!
THANKS!
I'm resurrecting my laptop with ubuntu 10.10 x64 right now (so I can build gingerbread) so can't help until later. If someone doesn't beat me to it, I will up a proper set if instructions along with the links you will need once my laptop is fully functional again.

Ok buddy, my lappy lives again
1. Download the recovery.zip posted earlier on in the thread.
2. Extract recovery.img from the recovery.zip (best to extract it somewhere easy like a new folder called c:\fastboot)
3. Download fastboot from here. http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2
4. Make sure fastboot.exe and recovery.img are in the same directory (e.g. c:\fastboot)
5. Reboot your phone as you did before (while holding vol down + power)
6. Select fastboot and push the power button
7. Plug your phone into your computer - it should change the message to "FASTBOOT USB"
8. Open a terminal (push start button and type in "cmd" to get one if you don't know how).
9. Type "cd c:\fastboot" and press enter.
10. Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
11. You should see a message which says something like sending ... send complete ... done.
12. To test: Push the power button on your phone once, push volume down once to highlight recovery, push power button. It should boot you to a screen with a red triangle.
13. Push vol up + power button to bring up the stock recovery menu
14. Push power button to reboot
Hopefully thats detailed enough
Hello,
Mytouch 3G slide
- won't boot to OS or recovery - just mytouch splash screen
- never been rooted
- loads HBoot
- can access fastboot
- will not boot into recovery - just mytouch splash screen
- I went through steps to flash rom etc..
- can not get adb access because can't get to OS the enable usb debug etc..
- can't do anything through fastboot because remote not allowed - but it does communicate with phone
- esprimg.zip on sd card results in "older version in main error"
It feels like I've gone through every option possible to recover.
It seems like if I can get root then I can flash a new rom and be back in business? But I can't get root so I can't flash.
Any other ideas out there? Thanks!
have you tried a different sd card?
Yes, 2 different ones. the .img is being read then checked then it comes up with the "older version" error. Everything I could find about that says I need to push a few files with adb first but I can't do that because I can't get to root since I can't boot to OS. Thanks.
Edit: Just kidding I lied don't download that ESRIMG.zip as it is the Engineering build and that is what you are probably using too and that is why it is giving you errors! So... Hold tight for a bit while I get everything together because I want this to work for you.
Bro I have a solution but it will set you back to stock. Okay so here it is, You are going to have to flash the champion build(Stock Rom for the slide) which can be found here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713507 , After you download that put it on the root of your SD card (Now I know what you are going to say "I can't access my SD card without being able to boot into the rom!" WRONG!!) get a MiniSD Card reader. Once you are able to put on the root of the SD card if not done already rename it to ESPRIMG.zip and then boot into HBOOT ( Hold Power + Volume Down, but you already know that don't you?) It should automatically check for the ESPRIMG.zip and it will load. Push Volume up to apply the update. DO NOT POWER DOWN OR REMOVE THE BATTERY AS IT WILL LEAVE YOU WITH A HUNDRED DOLLAR PAPER WEIGHT!!! When the update completes press volume up to reboot. You should now be able to boot, but now you don't have root so (Oh wait you never did! Why???)... NEW ROOT METHOD FTW!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896148 So once you complete the rooting be more careful, I cannot emphasize this enough! (BTW if you do root I recommend the CM7 Nightlies!!!) But if my foolproof tutorial that I wrote just for you doesn't work then your phone is F**ked up man! Call HTC for Warranty purposes cuz there is a problem! And if that works Well you are welcome!

Thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded the esprimg(2).zip, renamed it and put it on the root of SD. HBoot finds it and says loading. It goes throught the load then say s checking image. Then it says:
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
Vol Up - Yes
Vol Down - No
It doesn't matter what I do at that point. A reboot is a reboot. If I say no, it takes me back to HBoot.
Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!
I have very similar issue and same result on scree, without USB debugging we cannot get adb to work, thus no rooting, thus no replacing roms.

Well, it appears it isn't possible to get to root without first being able to get into OS to enable usb debugging.
I gave up and bought a phone on ebay that was working except for a broken screen and replace it's lcd with mine.
I'm now back in business.
Thanks to all for your suggestions.
Earlier today, I ran the updated 15/10/11 version of the ace hack kit. Like it was suggested, I read through the manual then I re-read it and re-read it again. As suggested, I disabled / uninstalled all security software on my pc and the other superfluous services. Ran the executable drivers file then I set the phone to charge only and usb debugging was ticked.
I then ran the hack-ace.cmd file as administrator and let the program do it's thing.
It appeared to have completed without any glitches in the suggested 6 minutes.
However, on the phone, all was not well. Since running this, the screen remains blank. When I power on, I get the HTC logo and then it disappears / disintegrates into a blank screen and nothing happens.
The only reason I ran this was to get rid of the irritating apps that I never use but have to Kill every day.
Can anyone help to overcome this problem? This was a replacement handset that I had to fight with my insurance company to get only for this to happen.
I am literaly at my wits end.

i think you need to install custom rom and flash it in recovery follow the steps in instruction in ace hack kit because it happen to me also when I ran the ace hack kit..

Yes this is the best thing to do. Something must have corrupted your stock ROM. If AAHK completed properly, then you should have ClockworkMod recovery installed.
The first thing I did was install 4EXT recovery but thats not necessary, that was just a personal choice.
So these are the steps you should take:
1: Download a new ROM and put it on your SD card in a convenient place (I recommend the RCMIX32 Runny 3.1 ROM)
2: Remove the battery and reinsert the battery
3: Hold down the volume down button and then hold down the power button. You will get to a white screen with some green robots on the bottom. This is the bootloader screen. You will have to wait a bit for it to finish scanning the SD card. It will tell you when it is finished
4: Use the volume buttons to select recovery and press the power button to select it
5: After a few seconds the recovery environment will appear
6: Go to the wipe menu. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache (and system if you have the option. I havent used Clockworkmod in a while so I cant really remember what options you have there)
7: Go a few menu's back and select Install zip from SD card
8: Select the zip file
9: Press yes on the confirmation screen
10: When it is finished, click reboot now. It might be on the menu back
This will install a new ROM and it should work properly. If you have any problems along the way just say and we will help to the best of our ability
Thanks for the responses.
I don't think ClockworkMod is installed as there are no options available when I select recovery. It just reboots the device back to the HTC splash screen which as mentioned then fades / deteriorates to a black screen. I had tried the Android HD Revolution rom but no difference.
One thing I did yesterday in my panic was to select 'Factory reset'. Will this have usb debugging setting?
Finally, when I connect to a pc, it doesn't see it. Is this because it's still set on charge only mode?
I'm probably my own worst enemy
If you finally press "Factory reset" you will reset USB debugging, then you can't root your phone using this tools kit. Try to reinstall the stock rom.
If you didn't root your DHD. Phone may still under warranty.
Hi Guys
I've managed to get this back up and running again.
After a lot of playing about with various file downloads last night, I finally managed to get my pc to see the phone. After that, I just downloaded a stock rom and installed it.
After this fright, I am reluctantly going to stick with this and not bother with rooting / custom roms.
Anyway, many thanks for all your responses, I really appreciate the time you took to helpo me out.
This forum absolutely rocks.

Did you check the MD5 Checksum of the .zip before you copied it to your SD Card? as it might is some way have got corrupted.
Here is a link to what I always use before I copy anything to my SD Card or install on my OS System:- MD5 Check 2.1.
Take Care

Thanks!
I'm all sorted (I think, fingers crossed).
It was principally because of the mac unzipping (Safari preferences not checked), this was the original and prime fault.
That caused me to doubt my partitions on the SD card (google is sometimes your enemy) which I altered.
So what then happened was CM7 installed but upon reboot looped continuously on the android skateboarding screen.
I finally resorted to formatting the SD Card, reapplying the CM7 zip and the google zips and so far it looks good.
Of course I (me and me alone) has stuffed up all the user data I had on the SD card. I might try to recover some photos but stuff like contacts I can regenerate no major loss there.
Thanks for replying!!
CM7 - the experience thus far
Well its 72 hours since I took the plunge!
Initially it looked odd and felt flakey, the Market refused to download 80% of the apps I tried. I resolved this (not sure if it was the right way) by going into recovery and clearing the cache 2-3 times and eventually downloaded all of my old apps.
Some apps cause frequent force-closes, I assume because they've not been updated for Gingerbread? Thats a very minor irritant, I can easily live without these apps anyway.
Battery life hasn't noticeably altered yet but I suppose I have been constantly been tinkering, playing with settings, trying wifi (seems a little less sensitive to signals) and gauging how the radio is working - I seem to get HSPDA a lot less and resort to 3G more than I previously did?
So, done it, like it despite some minor reservations - now what, is there anything else I can do to improve the experience?
I must add one thing this has shown me - I really really know very little about what goes on under the hood. Despite 20+ years experience in CIS this is a very different world and all credit to those who have developed CM7!!

Hello!!
I am desperately seeking some guidance. Please.
So, I used to have a HTC Inspire 4G and in June I rooted it successfully.. then installed Cyanogenmod 7 etc.. everything worked great. I unfortunately lost the phone and because of insurance got a new one.
When I rooted the first time I used the old school method that was in the XDA forum.. ADB..etc.. but today... with the new replacement..
I downloaded Advance ace hack kit 29102011 (ahhk 29102011.zip) which after reading all the stuff I thought would be just a quicker way to get rooted. I used the same PC that I used before.
This time, unfortunately I am getting a black screen, right after the HTC splash screen shows up.. it fades to black.
I can get to the "Hboot" screen but removing the battery, then restarting by holding the power and the down vol button.
Tried Factory reset.. still fades to back
Tried Recovery .. still fades to back
The device will not be recognized on my laptop when connected to USB..
Am I stuck? Do I have any options?
I should have done what I did before.. but am at a loss right now.. will you please help me.
Please.
Thanks a million in advance for your responses.

I downloaded Advance ace hack kit 29102011 (ahhk 29102011.zip) which after reading all the stuff I thought would be just a quicker way to get rooted. I used the same PC that I used before.
This time, unfortunately I am getting a black screen, right after the HTC splash screen shows up.. it fades to black.
I can get to the "Hboot" screen but removing the battery, then restarting by holding the power and the down vol button.
Tried Factory reset.. still fades to back
Tried Recovery .. still fades to back
The device will not be recognized on my laptop when connected to USB..
Am I stuck? Do I have any options?
I should have done what I did before.. but am at a loss right now.. will you please help me.
Please.
Thanks a million in advance for your responses.
Please help.
