[Q] Help: Did I brick my Incredible? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i rooted my incredible and tried to install a theme from the ROM manager i think it was called and when it went to reboot it just went to a black screen with a white stripe down each side and now i cant get passed that point even if i hit factory restore in the s-off menu thing. i am very new to this stuff so i am an idiot for just jumping in but if anyone has any ideas on what i could do it would be much appreciated. HTC Incredible on 2.2 rooted.
thanks

Turn your phone off then back on normally. I think someone mentioned once that this happens with newer DINCs i may be wrong but i believe that may help

SLCD bug strikes again!

ok so i tried just turning it on normally and it goes to the HTC incredible screen and then it turned off again and turned back on by itself and after the HTC incredible screen for a second time it just goes back to the black screen with the two stripes down the sides again

The newer Incredibles have an SLCD screen, the originals have AMOLED screens. From what I understand, they use different display/touch drivers. Not really a "bug" but I'm sure it bugs a lot of people... Did you just recently get it?

Have the same problem **sorta**
Ok new incredible as of the last friday. Unrevoked 3 worked until it hit the rom selection. Rebooted into recovery & thats where I get the black screen with the 2 lines & cant select anything. Pulling the battery will reset it and I'm able to boot but I still cant get the ROM to install.
Any suggestions

Search is your friend. You have a SLCD screen. Since your phone has different hardware, it requires compatible software.

PM'd cause i cant post links cause im still a noob

If you haven't fixed it yet you can search in the Q&A section for black screen and get instructions for a complete restore to the day you got it. The SLCD thing got me too.

This is exactly my problem...then I reflashed with pb31img. Now all it does is turn the charge light on...
How did you get it fixed.
I don't know if my phone is slcd or amoled....almost sure its AMOLED

the way i fixed it is on this thread......http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...t-after-incredible-boot-screen.html#post56442

Bud the rosie and your widgets are all connected through sense so if you messed up your rosie your best bet is to flash and start over or restore a nandroid that you made b4 it happened

i just noticed that its only that specific htc widget, the clock with weather, and a couple of just regular widgets that are missing. but i can still make it work. theyre just gone for some reason.
Whatever you flashed messed up sense on your Rom which will eventually cause you problems

there was no FC. i had my phone on and it was working perfectly, the battery went down to 1% then died and an hour later when i connected it to charge and turned it on it was just all gone. it was just my wallpaper, the app drawer,phone,and shortcut buttons on the bottom. and widgets had disappeared. i dont see what i could have done to cause it.

oh i just adb pushed the rosie.apk from the skyraider rom and it was fine. i had rebooted twice after i did that too so i dont think it was that. and sorry i thought you were talking about the more recent problem.
Well that first problem is the cause of your new problem you probably want get those widgets back unless you reflash.... sense is weird everything runs of of each other and the launcher is a big part of it

HELP!!! Restarts after 10 seconds

I've had my evo rooted since i got a replacement back in oct 2010, never had a problem flashing roms, and trying different ones, i was running MikG 1.0 - 2.2 rom without a problem, the other day my phone fell on the carpeted floor, battery came out and everything, so i put it back in and powered on the phone, but i noticed, it just kept restarting after 10 seconds it was all booted up on the lockscreen, i can go into the phone and everything but it keeps restarting exactly after about 10 seconds.
Tried different roms but keep getting the same problem. Unrooted phone, and it was working fine, got it rooted, and kept doing the same thing, so i thought it had something to do with the kernel, so installed a different kernel from savaged-zen, but didnt get further the htc evo screen, so installed stock kernel, and then it was working fine running MikG 2.2. Decided to restart the phone, and then again the problem came back, doing the same ****, so this time i installed a stock rooted rom, and so far its been working fine. It seems my phone doesnt like any other roms but stock ones anymore.
Can someone please tell me wtf is going on? Thanks in advance.
Wow, thnx for all the support, you guys are great!!! (sarcastic)
What recovery are using? What mainly does it happen with? So at least the phone boots into a rom?
Also take a look at the SD card it could be loose. That happened to me on my hero it fell and kept getting boot loops the finally took SD card out and put it back in properly.

Im using latest amon ra, it boots up into the rom but prolly about after 10 seconds it restarts, i could go further into the phone if im fast enough, it doesnt do it when i go into recovery or try a stock rom.
Im gonna check on the sd card, when i get home, thx!!!

huh? why would he want that if he's rooted?
Because the hboot is used for newer installs and if its not right everything will not work correctly.

black camera

a friend of mine has an EVO 4G, hardware 004, it has been working fine until a few weeks ago when his camera showed a BLACK screen when you clicked on the camera app. he was rooted running SPRINT LOVERS 2.2 rom. Well, we couldnt get the camera working so we did a hard reset and flashed MIKROM 3.0... camera was now working great..... TODAY. the camera is showing a black screen again. you dont even get any of the buttons in the camera app but you can press the home screen to get out (no force quit or anything).
any ideas how to fix this without another hard reset?
The best advice is to try another rom, specifically a stock sprint rom. If it still doesn't work, or works sporadically, its likely a hardware problem with the camera itself.
It sounds like a hardware issue to me I had the same problem an had to get it replaced.don't quote me these guys ate pretty smart but I couldn't get mine fixed
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Sounds like the camera hardware maybe staring to fail or has become loose from the board next time it goes black try pressing the lens down and see if it tries to work that would indicate loose connection, otherwise the sensor may be failing
Go in to recovery and fix permission's

OK so today we tried pushing down on the camera module.. then started up the phone and guess what.. it works again...
Sounds like the camera sensor is loose on the board, may need to take it on for repair, or if your techsavvy try opening it up and repair it yourself

Cause i had the same problem and ur cam is a app and sometimes it goes black when app is started, permissions fixs anything screwed up with your apps.

It fixes permissions for a lot of things like apps folders etc your android phone is a linux based system so in order for things to execute they need to have the correct permissions. For instance something with 777 permissions means it has full read write and execute permission for the owner, group and other here is a calculator for linux permissions just to show you what the different permissions are.

The permissions can sometimes change meaning the app or folder or whatever isn't able to execute because it doesn't have permission to fixing permissions is just supposed to fix that so your things can execute correctly hope this helps

Really 3 posts to answer the same question with 3 of the same answer when we already found the cause of the issue
Funny cause ive been combing the net trying to find a working fix. I've been having the same issue for weeks. Once did the "fix permissions" and it worked. Another time i re-flashed the same ROM then a different ROM and they both worked.
IDK what it is but everytime it works bout an 1/2 hour to 1 hour later its back to the black screen again. I'm stuck guys. I even had a friend of mine extract his HTCcamera.apk from his phone & load it on mine...guess what...worked!!! Hour later.....same crap
Comeon guys lets put our heads together and figure this out!!!

[Q] Info gone on Evo

I have an issue with an HTC Evo, I woke up this morning and the phone didin't had my information. Contacts, media, downloads, widgets and icons are gone, all of the phone screens are blank. Any idea on why this happened or if anyone knows how to fix it. Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks!

No, device isn't rooted, no custom ROM's. No recent apps installed.
I had to start over from scratch and put what I wanted on each screen.Hit the plus button at the bottom of the screen and add what you want to each one ie shortcut,widget,app etc.If widgets are actually missing from the widget menu,first try a reboot and if they don't show up you'll have to do a factory reset.
