I rooted my Incredible a few months back using UnRevoked, and recently realized I left security on. I know my phone needs to be s-off in order to run the new SkyRaider (it keeps rebooting as is), but I seem to be having some trouble with it.
I'll run UnRevoked, and it gets to the part where it says "waiting for root (safe to restart if this fails)." At this point, my phone will be stuck on the white Incredible splash screen, where it will remain indefinitely. Restarting the application doesn't help since the phone isn't exactly on.
Should I have unrooted first, or what?

I ran into a similar issue. Are you using the most current UnRevoked flash tool?
When you say the "White Incredible Flash Screen", Do you mean the White Boot menu? That is where I was hung up. I just selected FASTBOOT & then the REBOOT and when my Incredible rebooted the UnRevoked tool finished doing it's thing.
I was actually talking about the HTC Incredible splash image. The white image that shows up before anything else, even before the HBOOT.
I was using the latest UnRevoked. My solution was to just unroot and re-root with s-off.
I have spent about 12 hours screwing around with that and experiments in trying to figure out how to remap Rosie. Most of that time, my phone has been useless. You know, one of those days.

I recently followed the unrevoked guide to root my phone and put on the clockworkmod custom recovery image (for slcd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748618). Everything appeared to go smooth, unrevoked said it was a success, been using it for a few hours now and all of a sudden it wont boot sits at the htc screen, I also can't boot into recovery mode (shows a black line at the top of the screen then powers down). Its a brand new telus desire. Anyone know where i go from here to trouble shoot this/reset the device.
run unrevoked again.

Kind of related:
After running rom manager and asking it to reboot into recovery it no longer will. Stuck at HTC screen.
So it's safe to just re run unrevoked? Won't try and reroot my custom rom or anything?
What did you do to solve your problem? I have the same problem.
Hi guys,
Just tried to root a friend of mine Desire. Already rooted two Desire (including mine) without issues. This time, he updated to stock 2.29 rom, he has a PVT3 Desire with 0.93 bootloader (amoled).
Used unrevoked 3.22, at the third reboot the phone got stuck at the HTC logo and unrevoked said "waiting for reboot".
Thus I downloaded the original 2.29 RUU, put the phone in Fastboot and reflashed the phone.
Now, after few minutes after the flash, when changing settings and reinstalling apps in the stock rom, the phone reboots and is stuck at the HTC logo again!!! And so on... If I restore again on fastboot, I get the same problem again and again: the phone works for just few minutes, but then it reboots and gets stuck at the htc logo!!
Any ideas????

Possible an issue with the Urevoked version. Try 3.14 , it has worked hundreds of times for me without issues.

Hey! Did you get it sorted out? I have a stock unrooted Desire with the latest update. I have the exact same problem as you. It started out of nowhere.
Reformat SD card after flashing the phone. There are obsolete data that are messing the phone up.

Recently flash a new rom (done many before) and after rebooting the phone just vibrates 5 times and the led flashes green. It does this going into recovery or normal boot. I can boot into hboot. I updated with latest RUU and it flashed successfully, still does same thing, cant get in recovery or normal, only hboot. Now heres weird thing, I was s-off and now I'm s-on. Soon as i went into hboot to apply ruu i noticed it.
So any thoughts on helping me? Thanks for any help you can give.
Have you pulled the battery and tried turning your phone on? I think this is some sort of diagnostic mode that you're in.

Yep, pretty sure it's qualcomm diagnostics. Battery pull should work.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm Two Point Two RLS5.
Pulled battery about 20 times.
If it were me, think I'd try to run unrevoked3 to make sure I had a good recovery in place, then run unrevoked forever again to get back to s-off. Then flash another ROM.
But that's just me. I'm not a dev. So proceed at your own risk. I'd check some of the precautions on the unrevoked website to be sure I had compatible hboot and radio versions.

Phone wont boot into recovery so I can't flash any roms. I had phone s-off with unrevoked forever but somehow it went back to s-on. I never ran the s-on update. I did reflash the stock RUU 2.2 and it still wont boot. Flashed fine but goes to black screen after the splash screen and just vibrates and greed led blinks.
Does the same thing trying to get into recovery. I can only get into hboot.
You can download a new recovery image at the link below. The link is in the third or fourth post.
Rename it to PB31IMG.zip so you can load thru hboot.

I've got an AMOLED screen so the regular recovery works fine. But since I'm not s-off anymore I don't think I can flash a recovery. I tried the 2.5.0.5 on crack one. I was using 2.5.1.2 before.
I think you only need root to flash a signed recovery image. S-off allows you to flash unsigned images.
The original unrevoked tool just gave us root and recovery, right? Wonder if you can run unrevoked while the phone is at the hboot screen? Maybe you can pm one of the unrevoked devs.

I've had this problem with two phones now... The only savior is to flash s-on while still rooted. Then run the pb31img.zip of the most recent ruu since it is signed you can use it with s-on and you'll be stock, and call for a replacement, you'll get amoled since you bought it with it. I've gone through 7 lol.
Well think I figured it out. Turned it on with the usb-data connected and it booted fine. Pulled usb cable and it rebooted. Testing further it went to a black screen with the 5 vibrates when pulling the usb once. Looks like the usb port is fried.
It boots fine if you dont hookup the usb cable now.

this same thing happened to me twice.. you can sometimes even get it to fully boot and pull power cord and sue the phone, if your lucky. mine was a three vibrate though not 5
Because of no reception i flashed RUU,
flashed successful, thn tried rooting using Unrevoked 3.21.
rooted successfully,
booted into Aman RA recovery,
after that i pressed reboot device now.
from then its not booting not even showing HTC splash screen,
just dead as phone is switched off.
but im sure before rooting battery was 91%
desire is connected to charger since 45mins still not booting not even showing orange led notification of charging..
HBOOT: 0.93.0001
EDIT: reflashed RUU and Booting problem solved.
But not able to Root it.
when ever i try using Unrevoked 3.21 sucessfull rooting dong but desire hangs on HTC splash screen
Can you get into hboot/fastboot? Hold and press the volume down or the back button and then the power button. After a few seconds a white screen with three androids and the bottom should appear.
reflashed RUU and Booting problem solved.
But now unable to Root it.

Which pvt version does your desire have? You find this out, when you boot into bootloader and read the number behind the word pvt in the first line.
Okay so i have had my Incredible 2 for about 4 months s-off via revolutionary, any way i flashed ukb evolution 1.1 a couple of weeks ago and it has been working great, the other day the phones battery died, and when i went to reboot the device after charging it, all it does is sit at the white HTC screen, and nothing else, then i did a battery pull loaded into bootloader and tried recovery (Ext4) with the same result, stuck at the white screen, so i figured my phone was messed up so i downloaded the pg32img file from condemmedsoul's goo.im, loaded to sd card and let the ruu run, when it prompted to reboot i did, but on the reboot it got stuck on the white HTC screen yet again.
So at this point i need to know is my phone bricked? if so how would i go about flashing the 0.98 hboot (since i can still access bootloader) and returning to s-on? or is there an easy fix that i havent thought of?
