Hi everyone,
I can't post in the developers section cos I'm a new user so I hope you guys can point me in the right direction.
Okay to give you a brief summary:
My phone was rooted by using the latest Unrevoked 3.32
Then I did a NADROID Backup of my files.
Then I took S-Off With AlphaRev 1.8 Custom HBOOT.
Everything was successful and it said S-OFF.
Now when I boot up my phone normally all I get is the "Why So Serious?" image by unrevoked.
I restored my backup but still get the same image.
I'm guessing it's to do with the HBOOT version and my Radio version?
Please check attached images.
You do have to change the splash if you want to, thats why the image is how it is because it has changed from the HTC one, to AlphaRev's. Your radio is so old, really old. Try and install a newer one (been tested) or the newest one (get the second radio). See if that does anything for you. Just let things load up, they can take a while to do.
Thanks for the reply.
The thing is, i don't mind the splash, it's kinda cool.
The problem is the fact it just hangs, just stays on the splash screen.
I'll try what you suggested, unless others have another suggestion?
If you wanted S-Off badly, you could just download the correct RUU and then freshly install the stock ROM. It would wipe everything and you would need to run Unrevoked and AlphaRev again. But nontheless, you would have S-Off. Or you could download the stock rooted ROM and then S-Off from that.
Just an update.
The problem has been solved thanks to GoogleJelly's steps in pm.
Why did you sort that out by pm?
Maybe there are other people experiencing the same problem and are interested in the solution too...
just sayin...
lol yeah true, let me ask his permission if I can post the pm
Okay here are the steps I got:
If your able to get into the recovery then you're ok. You can try to install a stock Froyo ROM if you like, pre-rooted. See how that turns out.
If not, then I guess all you can do is install the RUU. You need the correct on that represents your installed radio so you can update. It will reset everything and I mean everything so you will need to root and S-Off again. Hopefully that will of fixed everything. But I don't recommend restoring. I have had some weird stuff happen to me through restoring before but your welcome to try it again.
To Get Into Recovery
1) Turn off your phone
2) Hold down volume down and press the power button
3) Wait for it to check your SD Card then press vol down to highlight recovery and press power button to select it
4) Should take up to 30 seconds to boot into recovery
Whilst in the recovery, you're able to mount USB to transfer the pre-rooted stock ROM across and then you can install it that way.
I hope this helps you out. If you need anymore help, just ask.

Sounds like there weren't any ideas in Q&A for this one, and I haven't seen much in terms of not being able to access recovery, so here goes...
I was happily using CM7, and while reading through a Diablo III news page (hopefully it comes out soon ), my phone rebooted into a boot loop. Weird, but I figured at worst I would wipe data and reinstall a ROM. Unfortunately, I can't get into recovery any longer.
If I boot the phone normally, I see the white HTC splash screen for a few seconds, then it reboots. I can use HBOOT fine, but as soon as I try to reboot normally / boot into recovery / boot into Restore Factory Defaults, my phone will reset. Let me clarify...
Pull and replace battery
Boot into HBOOT (volume down + power)
Select Recovery
Phone reboots and reaches CWM Recovery 3 for about 1/2 second, not long enough for me to click anything
Phone reboots into boot loop
I've used HBOOT to flash to CWM Recovery 3.0.0.8, downgraded to the stock radio, run the 2.2 RUU. I'm still running up against the same boot loop problem.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a hardware problem, but I'm anxious to hear if anyone has ideas to try first. Additionally, is there any way to restore to S-ON through HBOOT in case I need to bring this into a Verizon store? I have fastboot.exe that can recognize the device over USB while the device is in HBOOT, maybe this will help?
Thanks!
Current state: Ran 2.2 RUU, S-OFF, HBOOT-0.92.0000, AMOLED, 2.15.00.07.28 radio
Thanks again.
Had this exact issue while running cm7. First couple of from when it was crackflashers. I couldn't find anything to help or fix it. I got a new dinc because I can't afford to be without for long.
Good luck dude.

Thanks for the note. Maybe my fate will be the same. Did you get any sympathy from Verizon?
Doesn't sound like there are even any suggestions using fastboot, lol. [crickets chirping]
Can you flash cwm 2.5.x and try? Not sure if it will help but worth a shot?

Yeah take out battery, then pull out sd card put it into a adapter and insert it to ur pc. Then find the file that was shipped specifically for ur device it looks something like this PC130mg.zip or some crap like that anyways put that on the root of your sd card. load ur card back to your phone now into hboot(volume down plus power) mode. Your phone will auto detect that file and start to ask if u want to install update say yes boom it will flash back to stock.....however my only concern would be if u need to turn s-ON before u do this.
I did this for a evo 4g and it worked but I turned s-ON first as it was in the instructions I was following. I think maybe the update file checks to see if ur S-off or on. But don't quote me on that.

Yeah, I agree with popasmurf. Put the PB31IMG.zip on your sdcard. Then let hboot discover and update it. It'll be back to stock and youll have to reroot but better than a paperweight.

@phazeone let's say he just does that. Now his phone reboots and is on stock and looses his root, now he can root it again and then turn the S-on by the single file flash from recovery mode, and then use the update file again to flash the phone back to normal stock without root ( if he was taking it back) so whenever u want to manipulate the S security u must be rooted correct?

Thanks for the replies.
I tried this method to flash back to the stock 2.2 image before I started this thread. That's what I meant by "I've used HBOOT to ... run the 2.2 RUU." The stock image seemed to install properly in HBOOT. I have evidence that it successfully went back to stock, since I get the original ! triangle graphic instead of CWM when I try to enter recovery from HBOOT. However, I only see the graphic pop up for a brief second before it reboots again. Trying to boot into recovery or the ROM itself still result in a reboot.
I cannot achieve S-ON without having access to recovery, at least there's no way that I've found to do it through HBOOT.
Any other thoughts? I think it's a hardware problem. It appears the phone is back to stock (except it's still S-OFF), but everything outside of HBOOT causes a boot loop. I stopped in at Verizon this afternoon and they'll be sending a new phone to arrive by Tuesday. At this point, it'd be nice to try all avenues of repair for the future benefit of others that run into this problem.
Probably bad memory chips on the phone. Since it happened all of a sudden during normal use it usually indicates hardware failure.
That is pretty much what I determined. Bad hardware. Sorry for your trouble but is nice to know I'm not the only person to ever have this. Also nice to know I didn't miss something that could've brought it back to life.
I filed an insurance claim. Figured since I have had it for years and never used it I'd take advantage.

You can boot your phone like regular right? Just let it launch up or do you get loops?
Nevermind i see what ur saying. when i was flashing incorrect kernals i would get the same behavior from my phone. So i suggest you take phazeones link and try that file.Because u might have the incorrect file. There might be more than meets the eye make sure u got the right file.
When i searched for my zip file for my evo there was like 4 of them. They had to match what was said in the upper left corner of my hboot screen. So let me knoe if it worked
I wonder if he could just wipe that SD card, place a new Rom etc on it and reinstall. Bricking displays no response you've got a better shot at recovering course your SD card/battery could be bad
Since you're trying to flash the 3.x.x.x version of CWM, that may be your issue. Here's a zip for 2.5.0.5, one of the most stable earlier Recoveries. Flash through hboot as per usual.
If that doesn't work, (I'm assuming that you can boot the phone normally at this point) try re-rooting with the Unrevoked tool.
Then use Rom Manager to flash a newer Recovery (be sure to check Erase Previous Recovery under Settings). If that still doesn't work, I'll see about packaging an RUU in a PB31IMG.zip with a valid version of CWM as the recovery.img within that zip. I'm not sure about the practicality of this final option, but if it comes down to it, I'll attempt to package that up for you.
This sounds incredibly frustrating. Thus my interest in the matter.
There's gotta be a way to fix this... even if it's just long enough to get S-On and keep your warranty valid.

This would work if he could access CWM Recovery, but he can't, thus the issue.
I wonder if he could mount something from within hboot and replace the binary code for the recovery image with a bunch of zeroes and then try flashing another through hboot again.

I was JUST about to post the same topic when I came across this. I have done the stock image restore, restored BACK to hboot 0.92, back to the most current INC radio, and have tried flashing CW3.0 and Amon_RA. Everything flashes fine but the boot loop continues and if I try to enter recovery, it lasts maybe one full second before rebooting again. The only thing that I can think of that would create this situation for me was that earlier I was trying to update the PRL via *228 on MIUI but the dialpad never popped up so I hung up.

I'll take another crack at it, but I don't think I had gotten the wrong image. No worries though, it's easy enough to try again using the link on page 1 directly. Can't hurt, right ;-)

Thanks for the sympathy . Like I mentioned, I visited the Verizon store and a new one is on its way... doesn't that mean that it doesn't matter (other than for science sake) whether this gets S-On or even fixed?
[waiting for flash of build-3.26.605.1-release-152016-baseband-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip]
It just seems unlikely that this is a problem with flashing the wrong recovery, or the wrong stock image, since booting into recovery and booting normally both exhibit the same behavior. If I could boot normally into recovery but not boot into a stock image, I would suspect that I had flashed the wrong image. Since both have the same problem, I think it might be something else.
[finished flashing build-3.26.605.1-release-152016-baseband-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip]
Same behavior. White htc Incredible splash screen -> darkness for a second (presumably while the ROM tries to boot) -> reboot.
Alternatively, HBOOT -> Recovery -> White htc Incredible screen -> Triangle / ! error screen for a half second -> reboot.
[finished flashing CWM 2.5.0.5]
Same behavior:
HBOOT -> Recovery -> White htc Incredible screen -> CWM recovery 2.5.0.5 for a half second (this confirms that it flashed properly) -> reboot.
I tried to go back to unroot and stock HTC rom, Flashed wrong ROM, downloaded BOTH, now, phone vibrates one time (like its supposed to), but the screen does not work. Charge light does not work as far as I can tell so far.
Is there any way to get this back working or is it pretty much gone?
Edit: Charge light comes on..
Can you get into recovery through Hboot? Power it on while holding down the volume down button and see if Hboot loads.

Nope, I downloaded two recovery images. One for SLCD sreen and one for the other screen. I looked, and apparently flashed the wrong one. I get just a black screen.
So, you can't get to recovery, not even Hboot? If Hboot is black, I don't know if there is much you can do...

If I cant get HBoot to open..or anything for that matter, will verizon be able too? I took it to the store, told the guy very simply "the screen wont show up and nothing happens besides the single vibrate (as usual) on start-up). They hooked it to something...had the phone for about 20 minutes. Then came back and told me they ordered another one...
Edit: Once the recovery image flashed, Hboot came back up initially. S-ON was displayed. S-ON was the one thing I am glad happened.! lol
LOL, I hear you, I had a similar issue with my PSP a few years back. was getting random memory errors, and crash to reboot. I had enough sense to flash it back to stock fw, before bringing it back in. it crashed around 78% thru the stock fw flash. So that was kinda a godsend, since the only data they will be able to get off of it if they try, is stock.
Well your issue was the image you flashed. You went to unroot and flash a stock 2.1 ROM. Although this sounds correct, there is a problem. The stock 2.1 ROM was made for the release DInc's, and those, my friend, come AMOLED. So by flashing that stock 2.1 ROM, it does not contain the correct hardware drivers to support the newer batch of DInc, the SLCD.
What you could have done was:
Download the correct ROM that supports the SLCD from here (which can be found on http://dougpiston.com
Place that file in the root of your sdcard.
Now since your phone's display doesnt work, like you said it vibrates once, like normal, your phone still functions properly.
Boot your phone into HBOOT and allow it a few minutes, like normal to find this PB31IMG.zip file. It then will prompt you to press UP to confirm the update or press DOWN to not update. (you will not see this, but if you have flashed a radio then you know this process)
when you press up, it will then start updating to the stock ROM. however, you wont see any of this. just a black screen.
allow that to run, usually for 10 minutes. to be safe wait 15-18 minutes and then press UP. When the update is complete you are asked to reboot. UP for yes DOWN for no. again you will not see this. Then when it reboots....you will be happy and see the HTC Incredible white screen
It got me too, same thing you did. Just dug around and figured it out.

I have had my phone rooted for about a month now. I was running CM7 and things were fine and dandy. Decided that I wanted to try a different ROM. Downloaded and installed Skyraider 4.0 today. It seemed to be working fine. It was nice to have some sense back on my phone. Out of nowhere the phone reboots. Now I am left with a phone that cycle reboots and will not even get to the boot animation. Just the HTC Incredible white splash screen...black screen....vibrate....HTC Incredible white splash screen...cycle and cycle and cycle. I am able to get to the hboot screen by pressing the volume down button. From the hboot I tried to get into recovery mode but it goes back to the splash screen cycling.
I tried to reflash a stock ROM back onto the phone through hboot and it said that it was succesful. On restarting though, it went right back to the splash screen cycling.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! I have searched and searched and am still stuck cycling with on the splash screen.
So you used the PB31IMG.zip that restores the phone to stock? And you can get into hboot but it wont boot into recovery from there? I'm not really sure what else to suggest, there may be some things that can be done with adb but I haven't ever gotten that far, I'm sorry. Typically the RUU is successful in getting people out of bootloops or other tough spots.

Exactly. I used the PB31Img.zip. Hboot cycled through and said that it was successful. I excitedly rebooted thinking that all of my dreams had come true. But I was none-the-better with the cycling issues. I used Doug Piston's method to get the phone to stock.
I am still in S-Off. Would it help to get the phone back to S-On before reflashing to stock or would this make a difference?
I could be wrong but I don't think S-ON would really effect anything as far as flashing the stock rom. How long have you let it try to boot up? And you can't get into recovery from hboot? It sounds like it could be a hardware issue but it seems really strange that it would just quit working like that.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I didn't think that S-On/Off would make a difference but I'm desperate for an answer. I have let it cycle through the splash screen....phone turning off....splash screen 20-30 times before realizing that it wasn't getting anywhere. I am able to get to the hboot screen, but unable to get into recovery. I've flashed three different versions of clockwork to see if that might be the issue but no luck there.
I believe that my warranty may have ran out on the phone so I don't know what to do next.
It seems weird that you can get into hboot but not recovery. I'm really not sure what it could be, I wish I could think of something that would fix it.. I was thinking there was a tiny chance that maybe you just weren't giving it enough time to boot but if its looping that many times, its not gonna do it. Have you flashed any radios or anything else that could have possible messed something up? Is your hboot version the latest (.92)? Tried flashing the stock radio (7.28)? I'm really not sure if any of this could help, I'm just trying to think of anything you might be able to try since you can only get into hboot..
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Never flashed any different radios. I went from stock to CM7 to Skyraider. Hboot version .92. The radio was flashed to stock when I used Doug Piston's PB31IMG.
So now, the configuration of the phone is:
INCREDIBLEXC XC SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 0.92
MICROP 0417
TOUCH PANEL ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO - 2.15.00.07.28
Jul 23 2010, 18:06:51
I believe that I was successful in flashing the 2.5.1.2 ClockworkMod Recovery onto the phone. I previously had 3.0.0.8 or whatever ROM manager flashed onto the phone for me.
Nothing that I have done has made any difference on getting through the splash screen onto the boot animation.
Everything looks correct as far as stock settings go. I really can't think of anything else to try as my knowledge is limited to things you can do in recovery or in hboot and you've already done everything that I can think of to fix it. The only other thing I can think of is trying some things in ADB, but its been so long since I've used it I couldn't help with it. I'm assuming you've tried all the options in hboot, I think there's a data wipe/factory reset option? I'm sorry, I can't think of anything else, wish there was something I could do! If you got the phone from Verizon, you should have a one year warranty. The incredible came out like 13 months ago so I would think it would still be under warranty?

I know. It looks like a lengthy read. But all the information you could possibly need I've provided. Please let me know what you think. Also, I've done some searchign around but none of the scenarios I found were a result to flash back to stock sprint RUU.
The error reads as follows: "Attention. A network error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen."
What actually happens: Anytime I open Marketplace, Facebook app, send a message through KakaoTalk or GroupMe, pretty much anything that uses the 3G, 4G data, it doesn't work. The message only comes up when I try to use the marketplace app. All other apps just say there was a connection error, connecting to the server, etc.
When I hit "Retry" it goes right back to the same dialog pop up, as if it doesnt even re"try". The top notification bar goes from 3G and then disappears, then goes from 3G and just continually disappears. It doesnt matter if I have 4G on or WiFi, it will just goes back to 3G when attempting to gain data, and then disappears and the error happens.
My Timeline of events: I first had been running Synergy and everything was fine. Suddenly my wall charger (or any wall charger for that matter) stopped working when plugged in. The car charger still works, but no HTC wall chargers, odd. So I decided to use that insurance for good and bring it into sprint. Gotta unroot and all that jazz first though. I downloaded the "RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe" and found a way to connect my phone to the PC, and finished the wizard. Mind you, before I did this, I went into recovery (while on synergy) and did a dalvik cache wipe, data/factory wipe and cache wipe, then went back into hboot and ran the wizard from there. Everything went fine, the ROM install was successful, I no longer have recovery and it was the stock sprint ROM.
Where things got fishy...: After it was running through all the constant reboots and things, I let the phone sit while I did other things. I came back to it, signed into my gmail and facebook fine, then went to marketplace. I started downloading all my purchased apps and since that was going to take some time, I let it sit again and went off.
Fishy part: I come back to he phone, and would normally just pull down notification taskbar, and hit clear all notifications, since it said a bunch of things had sucessfully installed, but I notcied it also said "System update complete." Hmmm, I didn't start any system update...did it do it automatically? It had to of. I went to check for an OTA (HTC software update) and it found "System upgrade 1.47.651.1 (30.15 MB) - FOTA update." I canceled it since I pretty sure doing an OTA update on a rooted ROM is a no-no.
So what the heck is the problem here, I never had these issues before until I went back to the stock sprint ROM. I've already updated PRL a few times, does nothing.
Should I go back and reflash it and this time make sure it doesnt do a system upgrade until I've turned S-OFF back to S-ON? Once the phone is S-ON is it safe to update OTA?
My About Phone details are a sfollows:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 1.39.00.05.31
Kernal version: 2.6.29-a2443432

Any help, advice, suggestions are welcome!!!!! Please hook me up fellas, I'm a little bogged down about the upset.
UPDATE:
Okay. Since I am an impatient person and the last resort was going to re-flash the RUU, I'm just going to do that. And then make sure there is no system update. Once that is done, I'll run the S-ON tool from somewhere, hopefully I won't need recovery for anything, aaand then we'll see where we are. If you're reading all this PLEASE reply with something, anything to let me know somewhere out there is alive! lol, please.
With phone s on and stock ruu loaded it should be fine to accept update...wow u might get froyo lol. And it might help with your data issue...idk much but I know a little.
Edit: maybe try a newer ruu that might help with the data as well. not sure how HTC updates but i think it goes one at a time instead of newest available

Well the phone is still S-OFF right now, but now that I'm on the stock sprint RUU I dont have a custom recovery anymore, so how am i supposed to flash the unrevoked-forever-son.zip and the PCIMG36 thing!!??! How do I get back a recovery, do I just reflash something like synergy...!?
Here is amon ra recovery. Put on root of SD card and flash in bootloader. http://db.tt/TOsdM52P
This should get u recovery back so u can flash the s on tool. Then run a newer ruu, there is a thread in the EVO dev section with the latest, and hopefully it will also fix your data problems

Okay, I downloaded the file, put it on SD card, unplugged it, opened hboot and it tried loading the PC36IMG file, it said wrong image or soemthing like that about 6 times and then went back to the regular screen. Although, it has ALWAYS said wrong image for me, so I'm not worried about that.
So now I just went down and hit recovery and its a no go.
OKAY! Now my phone goes straight to the black screen with a Phone on it, and a little red triable with an exclamation point inside everytime now. It used to only come up when i tried going into recovery. now it comes up everytime i load up the phone. does this mean, its bricked...
EDIT: nvm, I was able to load HBOOT thank god, but still having trouble getting the damn recovery.
Well go to amon ra thread in the EVO dev section and dl th pc36img from there...maybe u got a bad dl...
It's here: recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img - MD5Sum: c00243750cc79e4a1dd4888db175b19f

Okay, so downloaded the file "recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img", put it (recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img) on SD, turned phone off, and now powering on in HBOOT.
After its finished doing whatever it does, can i go straight to recovery, or do i need to reboot again for changes to take effect?
Well, it did the wrong image no image thing again like it always does, and then i tried going into recovery aaaand it didnt work.
Also u should read these I think:

Yyyeeaaah, about that. I forgot to rename it. *facepalm* Just did it, powering in through HBOOT AGAIN. still did the wrong image no image thing, but this time, about it actually did some progress bar thing on the right hand side. but just for a second, and then went back to saying it was the wrong image or no image.
I highlighted the entier file name "recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img" and renamed it to "PC36IMG.ZIP" and then it turned into a zip file. restarted the phone in nboot and didnt work.
Oops I posted the .img for adb sorry here is the pc36img...*facepalm*

Okay, so check it out.
I ran the "RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_rele ase_171253.exe" before and flashed that, but i remember that i had to unroot my gf's phone back in june, so i went to my downlaod list and saw that i used "RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe"
So I just did that, and the 3G data seems to be fine. [email protected] Now onward to unrooting.
Now that I have stock ROM, do I just run a S-ON tool and fix it? But I dont have custom recovery, wtf this is effing confusing...

AH HA! lol, okay cool. So when I download this, and put it on my SD and then reboot into hboot, i'll have custom recovery? and then i can run s-on with 3.70? then eventually update OTA...?
Maybe I am wrong and it won't flash recovery with a non rooted ROM but I thought would because of s-off it should... Should of flashed the s on before u ran the ruu. It's signed with HTC keys and would of been fine.

How to Unroot the HTC EVO 4G
◄●REQUIRED DOWNLOADS●►
Unrevoked S-On Tool
PC36IMG
◄●SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS●►
If you're comfortable with everything Android related(flashing, recovery, etc.) then its just 2 simple steps:
If you used Unrevoked Forever at any time, flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip from recovery until hboot shows S-ON
Flash the PC36IMG.zip from hboot
◄●DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS●►
If you need a little more guidance, follow these instructions.
◄●If you have used Unrevoked forever, start here●►
Make sure you have downloaded the files linked above. Do not extract them
Connect your phone to your computer via USB and change to "Disk Drive" by dragging down from the notification bar.
If you have NOT used Unrevoked Forever, skip to the instructions below. If you have, transfer unrevoked-forever-son.zip to the root of your sdcard. Do NOT transfer the PC36IMG yet. It'll only cause a hassle and make this take longer.
Once complete, power off the phone
reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY.
Depending on what recovery you're using, you need to flash a zip. Select the unrevoked-foreverson.zip that you just transferred and complete the flash.
When complete, power off the phone. Reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. If it says S-ON at the top, select RECOVERY and skip to step 9. If it says S-OFF, repeat steps 5-7 Until it does.
◄●If you have NEVER used Unrevoked forever, start here●►
Power off the phone and reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY.
Connect via USB. There is an option for this in both Amon RA and Clockwork.
Transfer the PC36IMG.zip to the root of your sdcard.
EJECT THE PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER and then turn off USB in Recovery
Power off the phone and reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen.
It should check the PC36IMG.zip and then ask you YES/NO to apply the update. Press VOL UP for YES
Once complete, Press VOL UP to reboot.
You are now unrooted!
Have I ever used unrevoked? idk if i have! where do i start, or do i just run the s-on tool...?
Yes as long as u rooted with unrevoked and NOT REVOLUTIONARY... make sure to remove/rename the recovery pc36img on root of SD...once s on is achieved either run a ruu or the pc36img from that thread...off to kickboxing I go glad I could help...
