Please help, I think I bricked my Incredible and would appreciate any help or suggestions. I used unrevoked3 to root and flash the cynogenmod 6 nightly rom and then the google apps. Today i downloaded v3.1 of unrevoked to update my phone to a newer rom. I downloaded and installed the drivers but when I went to use unrevoked it would just reboot my phone and get stuck on the message "flashing recovery, do not touch phone" and never change, but my phone was just rebooted and working normal. So in the process of trouble shooting the problem I did a hard reset on the phone to see if it would help using a fresh clean rom. But when I went to reboot the phone, it got stuck in a boot loop. So now, my phone wont turn on all the way and I cant get to the recovery screen using unrevoked to utilize my nand backup that I had made. any help would be very appreciated!

Have you tried this?
While the phone is turned OFF, press and hold the VOL DOWN key and then press and hold the POWER button... (So, you should have VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON held down) and wait until it boots into HBOOT.
In HBOOT, you should have 4 options: FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, CLEAR STORAGE, SIMLOCK.

You do realize that you don't use unrevoked to flash ROMs, right? For that, you either boot into CWM Recovery or use ROM Manager.
Yea, but nothing in the hboot menu seems to do anything useful. I just end up back into the reboot loop. Unless you know any tricks in that menu?

Yea, download the ruu, extract the rom.zip from it, rename to PB31IMG.zip and toss on sd card. Your phone will go back to it's factory shipped state.

the unrevoked tool is only to establish root and INSTALL the recovery, not to actually run it for you. to get into recovery you just turn the phone off, then hold volume down + power until it gets to the bootloader, then you just press volume down to highlight recovery and press power to select it. this brings up the recovery. (or download Quick Boot from the market which can automatically reboot your phone in recovery for you.)

Um nope. Figure out a way to get the pb31im file onto your SD card. Or your up a creek my friend.

Best trick I know of is this awesome hackers megamart called Walmart which will sell you a excellent hacking device capable of reading sd cards from your pc... I think they call it a sd card reader...
sorry for a little sarcasm, I couldn't resist.

/sigh. when the phone is off, you hold volume down + power and it opens the bootloader screen. the options are:
1)fastboot
2)recovery
other options...
by default, fastboot is highlighted. therefore, if you press volume down once, it highlights the recovery option. pressing power after that selects it. this will open up the recovery.

yes, this would be your last resort if for some reason the recovery doesnt run. this way you can put the pb31img.zip onto your sd card so that when you get into the bootloader it will automatically find the zip and begin running on its own.

Wow Shadowmite, he set it self up for that one (LOL)
Yeah, you simply need a SD card or microSD card reader--Walmart, Best Buy, your local corner store probably have 'em.
If you decide to get a SD card reader, make sure you have the microSD to SD card adapter (usually comes with the purchase of a microSD card).

got it. then your only option is to either get an micro sd card reader or borrow a friends phone that has a microsd slot so you can somehow get your sd card connected to your pc to put the pb31img on it, then put the card back in your phone and get into the bootloader. from there the phone will walk you through it. then, only run the unrevoked tool ONCE.

Lol no problem. I had an idea tho, I think I might be able to use the sd card slot on my eris to download the file onto the Inc sd. Is there any foreseeable issues with that? Just trying to be careful

nah. just put the file on the root of the card, put it back in your incredible and boot into the bootloader.
Pull battery then put it back in
Hold volume down and power till it boots.
Hit volume down to highlight recovery
Hit power
Hook your phone up to your pc
On phone go to ( partitions ) with optical mouse
Press mouse (enter)
Go to the bottom and mount USBsdcard
On computer copy the .zip you need on the card.
Unmount card on phone
Then reboot in recovery and apply the file by selecting yes.
Hope this helps.

Can You reach The recovery?
From there go to installation zip and install a new ROM (previously downloaded an copied to the root of your SD)
From recovery usually you can activate SD card for transfering files from the pc.If not, insert the SD on the pc in order to copy the rom.
Dont forget to swipe all from recovery before that and i Hope that you already made a backup of everything with titanium

If you can't enter The recovery i don't know how you can flash a new rom.
Maybe you can describe one by one all the steps you made in order to understand where is the problem.
1. Goto http://unrevoked.com and download the software
2. You now have a choice of recovery, Amon RA has released an SLCD version of his recovery, which in my opinion is much better, it has a few more features than Clockwork. I recommend Amon RA, but the choice is yours.
Amon RA Recovery v1.7.0.1 R5 SLCD: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4481275/recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5-SLCD.img
Clockwork v2.5.0.7 SLCD:http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip
3. Go to HBOOT, this is done by shutting down your phone and powering on the device while holding the Power button down and pushing Volume down at the same time, once HBOOT is loaded do a wipe (Clear Storage). You can navigate the menus by using the volume rocker and the Power button to select your option.
4. Load Unrevoked and load the custom SLCD recovery file on your PC:
Goto File>Custom Recovery and point it to the recovery image that you downloaded in step 2.
5. Restart your phone, it will take a few minutes because you did a wipe, just wait it will load (up to 5 minutes). As soon as the welcome screen loads plug your phone in to the PC and Unrevoked should do it's thing. If Unrevoked doesn't start, then hit the Menu button go to Settings --> Applications --> Development and enable USB debugging.
6. The phone will restart a couple of times, and will look like it's hanging on the HTC screen but it's not! If the HTC screen is present for more than 5 minutes pull your battery and start again ( I had to do this a couple times myself). If Unrevoked pauses half way through its process, it could be because for some reason you don't have the proper drivers installed. You can load them as Unrevoked does the root process, while the phone is rebooting if Unrevoked pauses and Windows prompts you for a driver point it to the C:\android\tools directory and it will load the drivers and Unrevoked will continue its root process.
7. When Unrevoked is finished you will be left at the recovery screen,
8. *** VERY IMPORTANT*** Before restarting do a "wipe cache partition", "factory reset". And now would be a good time for a Nandroid Backup
9. Now reboot, and Android should load. Check for Superuser Permissions app, if you see it you're good if not restart from step
I followed these instructions i did got superuser on my phone but when I installed busybox and titanium backup it said its not rooted and I installed rom manager from market and try load my leedroid from SD card and it reboot the phone and that was it. I can go to HBOOT but when I pick recovery it turns off the phone or maybe it just blackscreen. My phone did work till I installed the ROM manager from market and messed it up. And thank you soo much for your replys
So You have amon ra?
Go to recovery And make wipe of everything except battery.
Then, put the battery out from The Desire.
Put it back, enter The recovery again and allow SD card (i dont remember now exactly The name of the option) After conecting the Desire to the pc.
Transfer From The pc The new rom.
If you dont have one, look for Modaco custom r9 for Desire, because it is very close to the stock rom. In order to get it you will have to pay but it's worth the price and in the future you Will have full access to new custom ROMS!
Then go (in recovery of amon ra) to flash zip And flash the new rom.
Sorry is recovery when using press volume down and power?
Ya I do have amon ra
And when I go press down volume and power and plug USB to computer my computer doesn't find it. It doesn't show up but it does show on phone USB is plugged
Ok,You press down volume. Now choose 2nd option (recovery) by moving vol down and when in recovery option press power to select.
Desire reboots and enters in amon ra recovery.
From the options choose usb-ms toggle and connect the Desire to the pc. Rest of the steps as explained.
But when I choose recovery the screen goes dark or turns off not sure which 1. When I connect the USB only phone says HBOOT USB plugged nothing on computer
is" your" desire branded? e.g orange, telus
have you tried installing an official ruu preferably a wwe version?
If you enter the recovery and the screen swich off...i can't help you. I don't know how to bypass that issue!
I'm sorry
trying to root my evo 4g. using revolutionary. how do i move the superuser folder to my sd card? everything worked flawlessly until i tried to recover at the end. phone locked up and showed a exclamation mark. had to take out battery. luckily it didnt brick the phone. sorry... this is my first time rooting
If you hboot shows the 6.16 hboot, you're rooted; you just have no recovery. You can go to the dev section, download and flash the amon ra (style), cwm, or twrp/2.0 recovery at your choice.

Save flashable zip from here to desktop. Then mount phone as disk drive via usb and copy flashable zip to root of sd card. Boot into custom recovery and flash zip. If you are rooted and do not have a custom recovery I suggest Amonra recovery from here.
You can also download super user from the market here

Hmm, that's odd. Twrp 1.x works fine; it must be either the .2 or .3 version of Twrp 2, because I used the initialize version just fine. The only issue was that it sometimes didn't wipe a second time after flashing an initial rom.

man... still want work. i put the recovery on my sd card and it still gives me the exclamation mark and the phone locks up. i guess i need to start over. how do i start over the whole root process? this really sux. this is like 20th time ive tried to root this phone and gave up
Dude i promise you when you get it right you'll realize that it wasnt as hard as you thought. Trust me i been there before. Look w/ revolutionary if you did it right it'll ask you do you want to download clockworkmod from the internet. Hit "Y" for yes.
It does it automatically. I did a bunch of phones the same way.

Put the recovery on your sd card as PC36IMG.zip (make sure it's not PC36IMG.zip.zip).
Turn phone off and pull the battery.
Put battery back in and hold volume down while pressing power (press the volume down first before pressing power).
Hold until white Hboot screen comes up (should say Revolutionary at top).
Wait for it to scan your sd card and press volume up to let it update.
You can reboot phone or go staight into recovery by not rebooting and selecting recovery with power button in Hboot
here's a link for AmonRa 3.11 (recovery that I recommend) http://www.multiupload.com/UW89IC4DBW

If you downloaded from the link I gave you in post above then rename zip to "PC36IMG" (all caps) and place on root of sd card and boot into hbot.
Notes:
To boot into hbot hold "vol. down' and "power" at same time. When you boot into hbot it will ask if you would like to update recovery. Select volume up and let it do its work and yes to reboot when finished.
PS: When you have finished updating recovery either rename PC36IMG zip or erase from sd card.
great.... now it want even reboot when i hold the power and volume button down. wtf!!!!
Pull the battery then try again. I had that issue once awhile back.
this is getting on my last nerve!!! i downloaded recovery ra supersonic and finally got it on my sd card. i click to download through revolutionary and it says cant open file. this is getting old! ok... please remember i am a totall noob with all of this. i suck bad with software. awfully bad. i can build a computer but i can not do programming and stuff like that.
after i download a recovery tool to my computer... what do i do after that? unzip the files... what? ive just been copying the folder and moving it to disk e where my sd card is. wow... this aggravating
i dont see how in the hell it shows the recovery file in my sd card then when i try to upload the file through revolutionary it says bad file... did not download. what in the hell else are you supposed to? this sux!!!!

Wrong. Leave the recovery zip, [named PC36IMG] zipped on your sd card, then boot into the bootloader [power off the phone, hold vot+down until you see the white screen] it should then prompt you to update and should say recovery, select up, select up to reboot, hold vol+down, this time decline the update, select recovery, and you should be on amon ra.

so the first thing i tried to do is to reinstall it , but it sad it having problem with getting a superuser permission - and yes i checked it , and it actually do getting positive permission from the superuser ...

so after I tried a several fixes , without luck , I decided to restore my nanadroid backup ;
so I went to the bootloader and when I press the restore option it doesn’t go to clockworkmod it just like rebooting and coming back to the same bootloader ,only with other options (reboot , bootloader, shut down…) .
so this is my problem , I already delete my personal files (apps…) from my droid , so I have now a clean android …
while I tried to fix my problem I noticed that i am getting problems with all the superuser permission staff … for example apps that need a su permission doesn’t work (root explorer) .
so my droid is pretty f%^ked , I am having s-off , but without clockworkmod restore , and problem with the su, and again WIFI .
a help will be much appreciated .
I've had a similar issue. I personally prefer the Amon_RA recovery. Try this:
-Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026.
-download PC36IMG.zip and place into the root of your SDcard.
-Power off phone. Boot into boot loader(volume down then power button; make sure fast boot is turned off)
-In bootloader choose to "update" when asked to by pushing volume up button.
-try to enter recovery.
-Flash whatever rom you want.
-If you want Clockworkmod recovery: Once you have access to your phone install Rom manager and install Clockworkmod recovery
Download Amon Ra recovery. Rename to PC36IMG or PC36IMG.zip. (i don't remember if it needs the ".zip" part or not. Try it both ways. Put on root of sdcard. Boot into bootloader. It will ask to update. Select yes. You will then have a recovery. Go into recovery and reflash the rom.

I think you have to leave the ".zip." Not 100% sure though. I leave it intact and it still recognizes it.

After you reinstalled the latest version of buisybox go to recovery and fix permissions,that would have solved your problem.Theres no need to reinstall a new recovery.

It wouldn't let him reinstall busybox. He couldn't go back to recovery either.

I'm saying the first time he did it,before everything got screwed up,anyway,download the latest release of RA's recovery,if its not already,rename it to PC36IMG.zip,don't unzip it,put it on the root of your SD card,turn off your phone,turn it on while holding down on the volume rocker,once in Hboot,it will ask you if you want to update,hold the volume rocker in the up position,then it will install the new recovery,it will then ask you if you want to reboot,hold the volume rocker in the down position,then scroll and go into recovery,have you partitioned your sd card yet?
no success ;
i put the file in the root of my sd card , and when i go to the bootloader the only thing that happen is that it like freeze for a 3 seconds and write after "searching for PC36DIAG.zip ...... .. .. PC36diag.niff ... no success/didn't find " (something like that) - not something new BTW ... and than i get the standard menu.
and no , i didn't turn fastboot off , because i don't have this option , for my knowledge its a option from the retail htc rom , not on CM .
and for what i need to partition my sd card , the rom is in the internal phone memory.

The file should read PC36IMG and its a zip file.
Its better to partition,most newer roms are requiring it and its great on saving internal memory.What Hboot version are you running?
Is what we might have to do is update your Hboot,sounds like yours could be corrupted.

Try it both ways, PC36IMG.zip and just PC36IMG.

The recovery has to be named PC36IMG.zip as it is a zip folder.containing a script telling boot loader what to do and how to doit if u downloaded it as a zip file DO NOT NAME IT PC36IMG.zip.zip just change the file name prior to the
.zip extension to PC36IMG which is case sensitive and must be in caps

Correct; I'd just like to add, try to call the .zip a package, cuz in the past, when people have referred to them as 'folders' people started creating actual folders named PC36IMG.zip and placing the zip inside them...lol
A second addition, a PC36IMG file is flashed only in the bootloader, not the recovery screen.
i tried all the options ... no success ...

If you're on 6.1.x or whatever, doesn't that mean you have revolutionary root?

Revolutionary doesn't root your phone it just nand unlocks you (s-off). That's a common misconception with noobs

Don't make me come over there.
Ok , so i have HBOOT 6.16.1002 , radio 2.15.00.0808...
i think maybe i need to unroot my phone and than root it again , god knows how ...
please guys (and girls [if you are a girl - dibs ]) help me !!!
Try this if all else fails.
First boot into your bootloader, select FASTBOOT, then hit the power button. Then connect your phone to your computer. It should read FASTBOOT USB in red.
Since you used Revolutionary, you should already have the My HTC driver installed under your device manager under Android USB devices. If not this will never work until My HTC is installed.
Extract the zipped files attached to a folder called sdk on your C-drive. Then open a command prompt and type
c: <ENTER>
cd /sdk <ENTER>
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-supersonic-3.11-gnm.img <ENTER>
fastboot reboot-bootloader <ENTER>
If that works, hit the power button to select bootloader, then see if you can get into this recovery (it's Amon). I also believe you have and issue with your SD card, but I could be wrong.

Adding adb in linux is a bit of a chore, as you have to add the respositories and change the bashrc file. Though you can always use windows as a fall back.
I am hoping someone can help me. My boyfriend recently had his HTC Evo for Sprint rooted to Boost mobile. It was rooted to Syneagy Rom. Things started going wrong for instance, icons disappearing, sound and ringer stopped working, etc. So he was informed he could just reset the phone and things would start working. I tried to do a factory reset both on the rom and on the phone itself. Nothing happened still rooted with more issues. So, I downloaded the free rom software from the android market and in the android magazine they tell you how to install a custom rom. I tried Cyanogen. Everything was fine til it rebooted then I got stuck with the white logo Htc Evo screen. I tried to connect to the pc but wont recognize anything, also tried to download files to my sd card and do the bootloader but no such luck. Any thoughts or ideas, on how I can get this phone to work again even if it means unrooting. Thanks!
Give us the specs of the phone.
Ex: Bootloader
Recovery
How it was rooted (unrevoked, revolutionary, bootloader unlock)
Then we can try to help. I already have a slight idea as to what went on

If you have the phone, go into bootloader. (Hold Power + volume down) and it should say at the top.

Then says fastboot underneath and below that says bootloader....Not sure if you needed that info but thought id list anyways
Start by turning your phone off. Then, press the volume down button, and then press and hold the power button, as you did above. Let the bootloader boot up, and then use the volume keys to move up and down to the recovery option. Then press the power button. The phone will boot into recovery mode. You should see an option that says 'Wipe Menu', or something along those lines. Use the volume keys to change the selection, then use the power button to select it. Select Dalvik cache, and use the power button to confirm that you want to wipe it. Then select data, and wipe it, also. At this point, back out of that menu and reboot the phone and see if the phone will boot up. If it does, you're all set. If not, I'd try flashing the ROM again from the recovery menu. Also, once you get things going, I'd dump ClockworkMod recovery and install Smelkus. Here's the link:

As stated above, try flashing a rom. Try something other than CM7 because I read somewhere that it doesn't work.on some hboots. If you are looking for stock rooted, check out captain_throwback's 5.07 rom.
Yeah FinZ! Teamwork! :highfive:

Okay thanks FinZ and death by soap for your help. Appreciate it. I followed your instructions but will still not boot. Is there any chance you could give me step by step instructions on how to flash a rom. I feel like a newbie. I just want to make sure I am doing it right. Thanks!
Download this ROM to the root of your SD card (not in any folders):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671395
You can download it via recovery, by selecting USB-MS (it may say Mount USB storage, instead) and turning it on. You can also remove the card from the phone and place it in a card reader and hook it up to your computer. If you downloaded the file via recovery, select USB-MS and turn it back off before you go any further once the ROM has downloaded. Boot your phone into recovery mode and follow the wipe instructions I listed above. Then, choose the option to 'Flash .zip file from SD Card' (or whatever it is in ClockworkMod-I can't remember). Find the ROM you downloaded and use the power button to make your selection. When it's done installing, go back to the wipe menu and wipe everything as you did before. Then, back out to the main menu and reboot the phone. Hopefully the phone boots into the ROM
I still also recommend changing recoveries, but for now, let's worry about getting the phone to boot into the ROM, and we'll worry about that later.

Okay one other question, the sd card is blank....was it suppose to have folders on it? Somehow everything got wiped. I will keep trying. Determined to get the phone to work! Thanks for all your help. It is appreciated! I installed from the link that you posted onto the SD card.

Not a problem. Just install the ROM as previously stated, then flash it from recovery. We can worry about formatting the card once we get the phone running properly.
Now that I think about it, though, I wonder if the SD card being wiped is part of the problem here? Just try and flash the ROM, and we'll go from there.

Okay so this is what it says everytime I try to load info...Install from SD card, finding update package, opening update package, E:cant open sdcard/update zip no such file or directory installation aborted.
Do you think I am better off buying another phone? I am wondering if this phone is just corrupt. Had issues from the time I had it rooted.
Sounds like an issue with the SD card, not the phone itself.
One more thing to try without changing cards out. Rename the file on the card PC36IMG.zip (make sure there is no extra .zip extension on it or this won't work). Make sure the file is on the card, and turn the phone off. Load into the bootloader by pressing volume down+power. After a few seconds, you should be prompted as to whether or not you wish to install the update. Use the volume keys to move up and down, and use the power button to make your selection. If successful, the new ROM will load and you can reboot your phone. If not, we may need to look at swapping SD cards.
