alright so i was trying to install ruby and my SD card said it was full so int he porcess or trying to format my SD card i think i formatted my phones storage instead. so not knowing i went and tried to install the ruby rom like normal realizing that it would never boot so after trying to format all the partions of the phone through clockwork and still nothing worked.
so i went and decided i was gonna try and just downgrade or unroot so i ran this
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...ideo-howto-unroot-incredible-downgrading.html
and placed the pb311img on the SD card and excuted it and it disabled the clockwork and all that but not it just keep hanging up in the screen that you get when you hold vol down and power and it wont do anything when i try and reboot it it just keep going back to this screen..need help ASAP as this is my only phone and i dont wanna get a refurb
You're going to have to explain your problem a bit more clearly. Is it freezing on the bootloader screen? Like it loads and it doesn't do anything?
Please slow down, calm down, and try again
its difficult to explain but it wont go back past the HTC incredible white screen.
how i got to this point was i think i accidentally erased the internal memory off the phone and yes i know stupid me
so i went into recovery and when into mount and storage and formatted everything and then wiped the data and tried to install the ruby from off my SD card is said install was complete so i clicked reboot and itll reboot but once it gets to the white HTC incredible screen it just sits there and does nothing so i was like hmm maybe i can downgrade and found a PB311IMG file for a complete downgrade and tried that and it would just get stuck in the HBOOT and so i went into recovery and it was the stock recovery so i tried to apply update.zip which would be the ruby rom and it failed.
so i found a PB311IMG of clockwork recovery so i reflashed that and went into it and tried to re install ruby from that and rebooted and stuck at white HTC screen

Nice dude.
i have the exact same problem and tried this method and it didn't work for me. it told me the main version was older and doesn't work. Hopefully im not bricked!

Hey, well I made a mistake (supprise). I was following a guide on here and mixing it up with cyanogen's own guide for flashing their rom and well basically I whipped my phone without having the rom on my ssd, i took the ssd out and put it into another phone to put the rom on and now when i put the ssd back in i'm getting:
E:can't mount /sdcard
when I try and install the rom from it.
Suggestions? Please tell me i've not bricked my phone. I only just realised I should have done a rom backup but it wasn't said it the guides I was following and i was so fixated on doing it word for word It only just poped into my head.
Cheers. Fast replies would be nice, I don't like sitting here with my phone in clockwork without anything on it.
:EDIT:
I have another ssd card current set up as a gold card. Could I use that? Both are htc supplied ssd cards.
Ok so i just pluged my gold card in and it could open it. Should I just use that or reformat my other ssd and use that instead?
:EDIT:
in the process of backing up my ssd and formating it, going to see if that fixes my problem. Figure I should probably start a new rom on a fresh ssd anyway.
Be nice to know for future if wiping everything is actually needed for roms
You said your goldcard was recognized correctly by the phone? Did you use another card before?
Where does the error occur, when downgrading or did you already downgrade and are already rooted and want to flash the rom already?

I've done everything but the flash so far. I was on the final bit and I had "full wipe" zip on my ssd and it opened fine and then i reset to factory settings and cleared cache and then my ssd couldn't be read any more so I couldn't flash with my rom.
However my other ssd which I had to previously format to turn into a gold card can have the zip's read on it. So I figure if I reformat the ssd I wish to use (not gold card) and put the rom back on it will be fine.
Also can you charge the battery while in recovery? I think my battery must be getting quite low now as it's been stuck in it a long time and was only about 40% when I started. I presumed 40% was enough to install a rom, didn't expect this delay of a few hours.
I'm also presuming I can't boot into anything any more as I think i've wiped the previous rom no?
Ok now after formating it and putting the rom on it says "no files found" :/. Does it even matter if I use a differnt ssd to flash as to the one I wish to use long term? i was under the assumption it would install other things to the SSD but now I realise thats probably totaly wrong.
:EDIT:
Put the rom on my other ssd and now also says no files found. it appears the rom is causing the problems?
Put the rom on my goldcard ssd and now also says no files found. it appears the rom is causing the problems? It could read the zips on that ssd 10min ago
If you did a full wipe you have to get it going again by flashing a new one ^^ So yes, go ahead with flashing. The Goldcard was especially necessary for the DHD to load the downgrade-zip, because when I did that originally it gave me an error (had wrong goldcard). Of course, I now have a working one, still using it.
You could try twice, like 1. reformat the sd you wish to use and put the ROM onto it or 2. use the other one to load the rom. Think about it, worst would be "yo man, wrong card"
Edit: this is confusing, indeed. So you actually did a new format of the SD and tried to open it in CWM and it says NO FILES FOUND?
Just to confirm a few things.
DHD rooted, S-OFF , etc....
Full wipe
Removed SD
SD No longer recognised
Rock > YOU < Hard Place
My suggestion, would be to format the first SDcard in your pc, copy ROM to it, place in the phone, reboot recovery.

Well aparently neither of my SSD's work. Is it possible to boot into clockwork without going into the software? Ie can i get into clockwork straight from boot? Because I might need to restart clockwork to get this to work now.

Exactly, but tryed and the moment I put this rom on it apperas it cant read the ssd.
Its cyanogen 7.02 and google addon.
Ok then, my formated ssd (which is apparently empty according to clockwork) formatted and was empty on windows, put the roms on it. When i plug it back in to windows it has all my old **** back on which was several gig so there is no way I accidently copyed that over with the roms and didn't notice.
You can boot directly to the bootloader by holding volume down then pressing power.
Did you download the ROM from ROM Manager or direct from here/cyanogen
EDIT: What version of clockwork you using?

Sure, Power off the DHD then hold Volume DOWN and press POWER. It then boots into Recovery.
I dont think you will have bricked it. As far as I know you cant brick a phone by flashing a rom. Bricking is as a result of radio installation gone wrong. If your SD card is being recognised, just wipe it and put in in empty. Then install the desired rom using ADB shell on your PC. About charging in recovery I think it will work. If not just turn the phone off and plug it into USB.
EDIT. This is sounding above my level of understanding now. Ignore my advice. I was assuming clockwork is behaving itself
Downloaded from CM7 them selves, ah ok I will reboot. Yup now neither of my ssd's have data on them apparently.
Rebooted recovery and now not working. I click to use an option and it just goes straight back to the top of the list, even reboot option.

I would suggest power charge instead of USB, because the real charger loads your phone faster due to lower power values over USB. Afaik.
OK, worst case scenario here is having to flash a 1.32 RUU and rooting, ENG S-OFF-ing again. I don't think your at that stage yet. Did you Radio S-OFF before this?

The light on the dhd only comes on when the phone is turned off and charging for me atm.
Ok then how do I use ADB, i was getting real confused by that earlyer today.

YES!

nvm got the right rom.
k i have a Evo 4g and i was flasing a rom and now the rom doesnt load... just the lockscreen apears then the phone restarts....i did a nandroid back up and tried to restore the back up and same thing happens...
i formated everything and even the sd card and i have that same problem... i also get the 5 vibrates and green light problem sometimes... i have recovery...
what should i do flash PA36IMG.zip from hboot???
What ROM was it?
Did you totally wipe EVERYTHING (Except the SD Card)
it was the mikg 2.1 +3.0 rom... yes i wiped everything except the sd card...
whats weird is the lock screen shows up then just restarts and keeps doing it....

First of all, go back into recovery and wipe everything in the wipe menu except the SD card and then flash a 'rooted' stock rom (whether ODEX or DE-ODEXED is irrelevant). A link is in my signature. If you can successfully flash a stock rom then it is safe to assume that your current rom is corrupted somehow. Also, what radios & kernel are you using with your current rom? Are they compatible?
i almost feel like when the rom tries to read the sd card it restart..... i did switch sd card same problem

Try downloading and flashing the Synergy rom. It is almost the equivalent of the one you were trying to flash. Let us know if you are successful or not. Disregard my previous post for now, please.

It could be and that is why I always suggest a re-partitioning & re-Formatting of SD cards from time to time. Do you happen to have an ext4 partition set up on your card?

If you are unable to install any other roms, then yes, back up the contents of your card and then, especially if your recovery is amonRA v2.3, re-partition it while in recovery. You should see 'Partition SD card' in the recovery's menu. You will be asked to set a size for the SWAP, ext2 and FAT. If you want to simply have use of the entire card as a FAT, enter 0 for the SWAP & the ext2 partition. If you have lots of 3rd party apps and you plan on installing a rom like Synergy or it's equivalent, you may want to set up an ext3 partition. If you plan to use a Synergy-like rom, I 'suggest' you set up an ext3 partition in this manner:
0 for SWAP
either 1024 or 2048 for the ext2
the rest for FAT and after the process is complete, select 'upgrade ext2 to ext3'. All of this is done from within recovery.
Afterwards, go to the wipe menu and wipe everything in it including the card. Then copy a freshly downloaded copy of the rom you want to use and then flash it.
i tried that.... now the sd card dont want to mount or format... and Synergy rom is doing the same thing it boots to the lock screen the reboots..
If it were me, at this point, I would run the RUU for your phone and then click on this link and follow my guide.

Baron, are you still S-OFF? If you are and if you don't think you need to re-flash your recovery, then I agree with HipKat that you need to flash the ruu. If your hboot version is 2.02/2. 10 then yes, flash the ruu with software 3.70.. If you have a Windows computer, you can download the exe version, connect your device to your pc and then run the exe. You can download either version from the link in my signature.
Posting & replying from my EVO 4G
i am still s-off... with h-boot v 2.10.0001

If the .exe version doesn't work, then give the PC36IMG version a try. I've used that one and it works well.
i run the app and its giving usb connection error at what state does my phone have to be it for this to work?? im in recovery mode right now... htc recovery..

Yep. Make sure it's called PC36IMG.zip and when you boot to Hboot and it does it's scan and asks if you want to update, say yes.
Be ready to flash recovery right after that, btw, so you'll have to get the PC36IMG for recovery on your disk after Hboot Runs RUU. Just let it boot up, if it will and then try to connect to your computer, and swap out the PC36IMG's
i flashed the ruu then Amon_RA-supersonic-v2.3 recovery and it just does the same thing boots to look screen after a few secs it reboots. and sometimes it get stuck at a black screen and green blinking light.. then i have to pull the battery...

I'm dealing with a very very weird issue
Recently i flashed ICE beta 6 rom but it was slow and not good enough for daily driver, so I decided to restore latest nand backup from my last sense 2.3 rom
I did as usual. Reboot to recovery. Noticed that sdcard is recognized as 'null' but did not pay attention to it (which seems to be very stupid now)
I wiped all the partition and system and cache and factory reset etc... as usual
Then i chose restore but it said "error can't mount sdcard"
Tried to mount /sdcard but it said error
So i thought, ok we could try powering off and detach/attach the sdcard again
I powered it off, and now i can only enter Fastboot. Everytime when choosing BOOTLOADER, it enters but then i cannot use Vol up + Vol down + power to navigate through options. Have to pull the batt off to turn the whole thing off.
But when i remove the sdcard, the navigation buttons are MAGICALLY working again! But it does not make any sense because i need the sdcard to restore!!!!
So, any one, help me, please!!!
Very appreciated and thank you in advance!
Somebody helps me please!!!!!!!!!! Super urgent
Maybe your sd is messed up. Put the sd in a card reader and read it from pc. If u can, perform a backup. Then format the sd and see if u can enter recovery !
Or try a different sd card of you have one

I had an Inc for a while, I have moved on to a RAZR maxx. I haven't worked on an Inc for a while. My friend asked me to help her. She is totally stock. Low storage space warning. Factory reset , from ROM or hboot , leads to android with triangle/exclamation mark. I think she tried to update OTA and the download failed. She has 3mb free. Under "SD and phone storage" the internal phone storage lists the total and available space as "unavailable". When I try to go to recovery from hboot it sounds like a bad hard drive, not the phone vibing but a drive spinning up an stopping a couple of times. Any help or recommendations? Thanks.

You need to do an ruu thru hboot. Download this http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip and place it on your sdcard in no folders. Boot to hboot and wait a few secs, hboot should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install. That will ensure everything is there and not corrupt.
Then you will want to root the phone, and flash the ext4 no data limit mod, or flash a rom that its built into. That will solve the low space issue.
Fyi, these phones do not have hard drives with spinning disks like pc's. They use flash memory which is a chip, no moving parts.

I pm'd cm for help, but figured I would start a thread. I tried to do an ruu through hboot, but the file isn't recognized. I formatted the SD on my computer using SD formatter 3.1 and also formatted in the phone. I downloaded the file twice. I tried 2 sd cards. I have flashed radios and such in the past, so I am familiar with the process, and it is ignoring the file on the SD card. The phone boots up and seems to run okay, but I can't factory reset it. I know that it has flash memory, I was trying to make the point that it isn't "vibing", but it is making a slight buzz when recovery is selected. Any help is appreciated.

What hboot version doed the phone currently have. If its 1.02 or 1.07 you can try to use htcdev site to unlock it, then get a custom recovery on there. If you can accomplish that, then you can see if recovery will see the sdcard. If it can read it, you can wipe everything and flash a custom rom.

Hey all,
Recently I tried to format my sd card from my phone to create extra space, as it was getting clogged up. I pressed unmount, expecting to mount it again as the format option was greyed out. However, I was unable to get it mounted again (ie my phone no longer recognises a sd card is inserted).
I tried to perform a factory rest to get my phone back to the settings it should have once had. However it didn't manage to do this properly and now its stuck at the htc logo screen. Formating or partitioning the sd card didnt do a thing.
I can get into the bootloader, and it was rooted beforehand. I was running the official Miui ROM. Now I am unable to start my phone normally, nor get into access my sd card.
Unfortunetly, I have had my phone for quiet a long time now so I doubt the warranty is still valid. I need help urgently.
Thanks in advance.
Try clearing cache and data and then install a new rom for example Jellytime r26.2.
if it dont work the first time try one more time. I had the same issue ones and had to install the rom twice before it worked.

Are you S-OFF? Can you get into recovery? through the bootloader? If so, just flash a new ROM through recovery.
How did you try to do a factory reset? If you can get into the bootloader, go to recovery if you have it. Then see if the sdcard is being recognized or not. If it is getting recognized, put the zip of any ROM on it and flash it after wiping like the guy above me said.
Post what your bootloader screen says here. Your phone is far from being bricked as far as I know.
RESOLVED
I've managed to resolve this issue. For the benefit of others I will explain what I did.
1)I went into fastboot mode and connected my phone to my pc (running windows 7). Using cmd I reflashed the recovery image.
2)Went into recovery and installed a custom ROM.
I hope this helps you as it really saved my life.

I formated and wiped all the data i could from the phone itself and the from recovery. Lucky you were right about me being far away from bricking it completely.
Since I firstly unmounted my sd card from my phone settings, it didnt get recognised at all. I couldnt mount it again. So i formatted it with windows, then in recovery made a backup image despite the phone being stuck in bootloop. That allowed me to finally access my sd card for some reason.
Then as you all suggested, i just needed to reflash everything, including recovery using fastboot.
Bit of a strange scenario really
Lesson learned ? :
1.) If youre going to start from scratch then start in Recovery;
2.) wipe all partitions (twice)
3.) enable USB drive and transfer new ROM to SD Root
4.) flash new ROM
