This is my first post and I was wondering if anyone can help.
I have an incredible, 2.2, rooted, with Rom Manager. I flashed the lastest recovery through Rom Manager but when I try to boot into recovery the screen stays black with a thin white line on both sides. I had some backups from another Dinc I had and took a chance at a restore from one of my older Roms. Although the screen stayed black it did load the backup so my recovery appears to be working fine only I can't see it.
Doing this before I am scared if I load a bad rom or something and get locked up I won't be able to see the recovery to restore my backups. I have tried older recoveries through Rom Manager with the same problem however when I flash RA_GNM Recovery v1.7.6 it works perfectly. Only problem is Rom Manager won't use that.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Search for slcd recovery.

ok now I am really confused. I research the slcd and not quite sure what I have or looking at. How do I know? My old Dinc was literally only about a month older than my previous one. Can you give me a brief "Dumbed Down" version of what exactly this is?
Sorry to be such a newbie.

From what you're describing, your phone has a slcd screen, not amoled. As such, you're going to have a few issues here and there with recoveries as well as ROMS (due to your hardware not being supported by the included kernel). Search the forums for slcd and you'll see suitable workarounds for this.
To see what screen you have... Menu > Settings > About Phone > Hardware Version. If yours is 003, you have a SLCD screen.
Anyone who has the.new guy Rom ..is there a way to get the HTC pot penguin to as my boot image. That penguin is great lol

Just incase anyone is having this problem I did find a site with a fix. Download the file, change the name and flash through hboot. It has worked for me and now I can get into recovery. Here is the link:
**Sorry the site wouldn't allow me to post the link***
Only problems I have now and I am hoping someone can help is that I can't seem to install any custom roms that don't have sense. When installing MIUI or CyanogenMod, etc I get locked up on the white HTC screen.
Anyone know a solution?
http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...nly-see-black-screen-white-bars-recovery.html
That has the custom recovery you need for an slcd screen. I used that exact dl link to get the image. Then i used the unrevoked 3.21 tool to set it to flash a custom recovery then let the tool run. All went flawlessly
*Edit sorry i didn't see you fixed it. As far as cyanogen mod goes, I know it doesn't work with slcd screened incs because we have different display drivers. I believe that is true for all aosp roms. If you want a vanilla feel go with skyraider vanilla 3.0. It works perfectly for me
Thanks for posting that link and the help. I will keep checking to see if a solutions for slcd screens comes around so that I can install some other roms.
I just hate that I thought I upgraded my inc and as it turns out it was probably a downgrade.
To my understanding, I believe all roms work except aosp roms. I remember reading somewhere (but don't remember where) that they were working on a fix. So maybe it'll come before you know it
Koush's test #2 kernel works fine and will boot aosp on my Slcd.
Just wanted to let you know I found a way to make MIUI and cyanogen work on a slcd Dinc. I found the fix in one of the forums so I don't want to take any credit for it but it worked for me so I wanted to pass that info along to anyone else having the same issue.
I downloaded the Koush test kernel from Rom Manager, then I flashed the MIUI rom. Once flashed it gets stuck on the white HTC screen. I pull the battery, go to recovery, and then open zip from SD card. I find the Koush kernel, install, and reboot and it has worked for everything I have tried so far (MIUI and Cyanogen).
Hope that helps someone.

Really? My post above says that.
Your kidding right?? i didn't see your post as it was on page two so my apologies. I didn't mean to steal any of your credit!!! lol. I am just trying to help others out.
I'm pretty new to this rooting for Android, I recently got my Incredible.. I used unrevoked to root my incredible. I did it normally like USB debugging and all that. Soon as it started to root it, the phone rebooted itself like it was supposed too, got to the HTC Incredible screen (the first screen on the boot up) and black screen and white bars on the sides. Now I got this phone like November 27th.. and I'm pretty postive my screen is an SLCD? And that seems to be what the problem is with the black screen white bars.. Thing is, of course the black screen white bars stayed there, so I pulled the battery out and put it pack in. It loaded up normally and it seemed to be rooted fine. It had the Superuser (ninja). And everything was normal. I downloaded ROM Manager and then downloaded the Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery, and then I clicked on Cynagen Mod and went down to Google apps. Downloaded it, installed it, then it asked to reboot. ALL OF WHAT I JUST DID, (followed from The Start to Finish Guide to Rooting Your Android Phone, I con't post links yet) .. So as it rebooted it got the HTC Incredible screen (the first screen on the boot up) and it did the black screen white bars. I removed the battery either twice or three times.. And still nothing, I THEN FOLLWED THIS Incredibleforum dot com (I rooted and now I only see a black screen with white bars in recovery.) and went to the Hboot menu and went down to recovery and selected it. It rebooted and still black screen white bars at the HTC Incredible screen. I then tried his other method and went to download that file and went to unrevoked and did the custom recovery and put recovery in the file and plugged my phone in. ( He actually said to like check USB debugging, which I couldnt actually do because I couldnt get to my menu..) So then after plugging it in and showing the orange light for charging. It did nothing other then charge. I turned it on ( I'm pretty sure, it might have turned on by itself) and it worked. It got the menu screen. And everything was the same. ROM Manager was still there, same with superuser. And the 3 game apps that I downloaded before I rebooted for Google Apps. I haven't found Google Apps, I'm not really sure where Google Apps would be anyways.. But what I'm getting at here is, What actually happened????? Why those white bars?? And will this happen everytime I have to reboot? If someone could just give me their best answer or an explanation It would really help. I'm new to this stuff.. But I'm getting nervous with this black screen thing white bars.. and I'm debating wether to just unroot..(how easy is unrooting?).. But my phone is fine now, I haven't tried like downloading anything but everything seems to be working fine.. Where could I find Google Apps? And which ROM? Cynagen Mod Or Bugless Beast.. Please Help
You have an slcd screen. Your recovery is for smiled. Use unrevocks recovery for slcd screens. As I have read you need that one for recovery to work properly. I don't have an slcd so I don't know to much about that end
Just cruise the forums there is tons of info out there.

I had similar issues, and poster above is correct... I was able to flash a modified clockwork recovery to get it working with slcd...but I'm halfway afraid to try any ROM Manager abilities due to the different recovery :>
Just flash the modified Clockwork- very simple and works perfectly. I have the zip if you want it.
Ok cool can I have the zip file? And would I have to like uninstall anything in order to use revoked again?... and just a quick question.. 'recovery' is basically _______?
P.S. Whats like rebooting into recovery

You don't need to uninstall anything from your phone obviously, but I'd uninstall any unrEVOKed stuff from your computer before you do the new version. Recovery is basically the tool that lets you modify the phone. You go there to do nandroid backups and restores, and to flash zips. Let me know if you need instructions on how to apply the fix.
Yeah I'm new to this rooting stuff so if you could just give me a few instructions it'd be really helpful. thanks

1. Mount your phone as disk drive (I'm assuming you know how to do that, if not, lemme know)
2. Move the file to the root of your sd card (not in any folders) and make sure you don't re-name it at all.
3. Disconnect your phone, wait for the card to format, and then yank your battery.
4. Put the battery back in, hold Volume Down+Power.
5. You'll see your bootloader and it will find the file automatically, let it install it.
6. Once it's done, yank your battery again and repeat Step 4.
7. This time, choose not to install it, and instead choose Recovery- should load up Clockwork just fine. Easiest way to access Clockwork in the future is thru ROM Manager- there's an option to boot into recovery.
PS. might wanna check your clockwork version first thru ROM Manager- my version is 2.5.0.5 and I'm not sure if Koush has included the SLCD fix in any of the newer versions, so I'd make sure you have that version before doing this.
From what I gather, the black screen and white bars is the ClockworkMod recovery that you booted into. It works fine, but the SLCD is incompatible with the current ROM Manager ClockworkMod (I have it too, ADB works when it's running). So the display is the only thing messed up.
I'd love to get ClockworkMod to work correctly though. Anyone know how I can flash the recovery to Amon Ra, or get ClockworkMod working? I have a mod .zip file for Clockwork, but I'm unsure on how to use it.
Edit... responded too late. Thanks for the advice!

Didn't see it at the time. I'm still ungodly slow at typing on this, haha.
Do you have any advice on flashing with CyanogenMod? I read the wiki and it talked about updating a radio, but there were several options. What should I be looking for?
I'm kinda terrified trying it with these new SLCD phones, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry, I haven't found a ROM I like as much as stock Sense, so I just use that, but with my own mods. shipped-roms.com is a nice website.. Otherwise, almost any Android forum site will have a CM section since it's so popular..

thin about your question, find out what you are talking about, look in the correct thread....
stuff to think about next time
1. what recovery are you talking about
2. what rom are you using
3. what are you trying to do when this happens
You're going to get drilled if I don't say this, so please post questions in the Q&A section from now on (some people are REALLY uptight about that :\)
Anyhow, is it just an aesthetic thing? Or is it actually causing problems?

Don't worry, the mods will take care of it for you
Many things have been changed in new recoveries to make them run faster and work a little smoother.
(Kernel updates within recovery, etc)
I have noticed this too and it is not an issue, don't worry it's common.
its just called screen tearing the easiest and IMO best fix would be to switch to amon ras recovery and itll go away just like that
Yea when I flash clockwork recovery the other day to dl a cm7 nightly it did that and now I'm back to amon ra so my guess is its just cw

mine does the same thing but it works fine i was using clockwork until updated then went to the new RA but now it wont do backups and im back at clockwork and i get the same nasty looking lines, but as you said my phone as well as backups are working just fine..

what do you mean Amon wont do backups and also if you go into the Amon recovery thread there is discussion about screen tearing. I know people use clockwork but after trying both IMO Amon does it all and seems to be causing way less issues than Clockwork...
So I tried installing Both Lou's Kernel #6 and 7. As well as Ziggy's latest beta. I cleared the Dalvik Cache as well. I still cannot seem to figure out what the issue is.
I'm running Myn's Warm 2.2 the latest release.
I have the newer Incredible with the SLCD screen but I didn't think the touch sensor would have changed at all...
I hope somebody can help me clear this up.
Thanks in advance.
What version of CWM do you have? It requires a certain version. I think it's 2.5.0.5, and it has to be unmodded (no fast scrolling, etc.).
I recently upgraded to 3.0.0.5. I hadn't had any problems with 3.0.0.5. I'll try downgrading and trying again.
Chad has a modded clockwork out that supposedly fixes it. I've never tried it personally.
So I couldn't get chads version of Rom manager to download clockwork 2.5.0.5 and I can't seem to find a 2.5.0.5 version of clockwork anywhere. I tried flashing via amon ra 1.81 for incredible but that didn't seem to work either. What exactly is the issue here? I'm not understanding how the clockwork version would interfere with installing a kernel.
Thanks a ton guys.
So I finally found a 2.5.0.5 version of clockwork, however it doesn't support SLCD screens (Just get the black screen and white lines). On top of that I booted up the phone and the touch screen wouldn't respond at all. Couldn't even unlock the phone. I had to install the SD card in my old enV 2 and rename and move the Amon Ra Recovery back to the root of the SD card and reinstall.
I'm gonna try to figure out where I can find Chad's modded version of clockwork, but this is getting very frustrating.
This has turned into an ordeal. AmonRa didn't fix my touch screen. I tried restoring an AmonRa backup but it errored and told me to restore using adb commands. I am currently at my parents house in and don't have access to ADB here. This computer is terrible. I won't be back to my house until Monday.
I reflashed Clockwork 3.0.0.5 and now am currently restoring a backup. I hope this fixes the issue...
So I found a version of clockwork 2.5.0.5 that was modified to work with SLCD, (Doug Piston's Website) and still no dice. Only 2 touches registering. I have no idea what else to try...
Bump. Im really stumped here guys. Thanks for the help.

I use clockwork 3.7 & get 5 on chads & 10 on tiamat. Amoled tho
sent from dinc
Try opening term emulator: and type su, then cat /sys/android_touch/vendor and put the output here:
If it's AMTEL_x004F_x0016, then 2 touch is likely the limit. During all the testing that went on by Chad, I don't think anyone with SLCD or AMOLED that had the x004f_x0016 panel got more than 2. I guess they figured 2 was enough for that panel. It made no difference what version of cwm or which kernel was used. They all got 2.
If it's not what was mentioned ^^ then you can probably keep messing around with cwm versions and kernels until you find some magic combo that works.
Thanks hamchacha. I do have that panel, that's unfortunate. Not the end of the world though...
Thanks again.

Sure thing. I've got it as well. I went to the Amtel website and tried to look it up, but they don't use those numbers on the site or if they do they're in some other format I can't figure out. They do , however, talk about 5-10 touch panels, and 2-touch and 1-touch panels all in the 'cellphone' (or so it appears) section, and those panel pictures all resemble the ones on our phones.
I know you can buy another one from some reseller if this is a big deal for some reason, but I'm not sure if that reseller (I could find them again) will tell you which you're getting. I think they were 30-40 bucks. I'll see if I can dig up the link. Getting it all apart might not be too simple as well.
It was for a MIDI controller. Which someone wrote an app that turns your phone into a wireless one. If you're unfamiliar, a MIDI controller allows you to program and change values in music production software with faders or different input methods on my phone.
However it is a fairly small workspace for sure a use. Because of this a plan on getting a tablet very soon. So i think it would be a waste to buy a new panel.
Thanks for all the hard work on this. Can never learn enough about my phone.
Hello everyone,
I just want to say I did not make this thread prematurely. Iv had this current issue for over a month. Iv talked to various people on here and other related forums and tried everything others have suggested with nothing working, So I come here to hopefully, somehow, get an answer or a fix.
I've had my Evo since Feb, rooted almost immediately and have been trying different roms ever since. Yet I always found myself going back to CM. Well just recently, Iv run into a problem where ALMOST every rom I try to flash, it gets stuck at the white htc evo 4g screen, constantly rebooting over and over. I actually waited once for hours to see if it eventually would go into the rom but it didnt. Iv tried battery pulls, clearing cache and davlich, nothing works.
Here is what works with no issues that iv tried: Any CM, Miui, Mikfroyo, MikZ, Myns, MynsZ
WHat iv tried and does not work:Mikg, Virus, Kings, Leo, Alliance, Stock Gb,
Btw, I was originally using clockwork and was told to go to Amon Ra(latest version yes)-
Heres what exactly happens:
I download the rom, which Iv tried from my phone and my pc both. Put it on root of sd. reboot into recovery. Wipe: Cache,Davlick,Boot,System,Sd ext.,Data,Sd secure, All userdata/factory reset in that order and sometimes 2 and 3 times. I then flash the rom. The screen shows the progress of the installation of w/e rom it is, always says complete or successful. Reboot.
Almost immediately Shows the screen with the squigley colored lines then after a second or 2, phone vibrates, reboots right to white evo 4g screen. Sits on that screen for approx.10-15 seconds, vibrates goes black for 2-3 seconds and then back to the white evo 4g screen and it does this over and over til im forced to pull the battery. Very VERy frustrating.
I was told maybe the links of the downloads were bad so i tried multiple downloads of the same zip. I was told to check to see if the md5 sum thing matched, it did. I was told to download sd formatter, did that. I was told to update all the latest radios,prl,ext.
I do not know a whole lot about this but Im thinking that every Gb rom i try doesnt work. With the exception of 2 Aosp roms(cm and miui). I could be way off here but im just throwing that out there.
One thing I will mention. In the middle of trying to figure all this out, I deleted my sd card when trying to wipe. Now what is important is this issue was def. happening before I ever made this mistake. SO maybe its a moot point, I just want to mention everything.
Im hoping, praying that some of you MUCH more knowledgeable flashmatics can point me in the right direction because Iv been pulling my hair out for over a month trying everything I can read or was told to come to a conclusion as to why this would be happening.
Thank you for your time. Its much appreciated.

You are the only response Iv gotten so i thank you.
Someone else mentioned this.
So I downloaded: Htc kernel #15
WHat I did was flash the rom(had been various ones) then flashed this kernel, rebooted, same result. Is this what you mean?
Have youve ever even heard of this? WHere every froyo rom iv tried works, 2 specific gb roms work(CM and miui) yet various other(gb) will not work.
Has anyone EVER heard of anything like this?
What hboot version?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
My suggestion is go completely stock. Unroot with a 3.70 RUU and then root your phone again. Start from scratch and then load up or attempt to load up one of the Sprint Lovers rom and see what happens. Maybe just maybe you had a bad root. I do recommend Amon as well though.
Or try this get Caulkins wipe all zip and format your phones harddrive and load up Sprint Lovers and see what happens
I would recommend flashing the kernel first before the ROM,however,since you can successfully flash froyo ROMS,playa may be right and you should try running the ruu and starting over.I was thinking the problem was an incompatibility between an ASOP ROM and a Sense kernel but doesn't hold water if you can get froyo based ROMS to boot up.

I mean I obviously would know how to flash a sprint lovers rom but im talking about the un-rooting step regarding 3.70 ruu??, Iv never did it and probably would be lost(noob).

Not a problem. Turn your phone off and hold the power button and the volume down button. This will take you to the bootloader screen. The hboot and radio versions should be at the top. I'm betting your hboot is .76
I had the same issue that you did and nothing worked, I was unable to flash any new GB Rom besides cm. I tried flashing stock, using multiple versions of clockwork and amon ra. Nothing worked, updating my hboot to the latest version fixed my issue, I'm guessing its something to do with the hboot version and hardware combination. You may lose fastboot commands, if you're unsure of what those commands are I doubt you'll miss them. And recent developments have allowed for downgrading of hboot. I'll dig the link up for the latest hboot.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7027238
I personally flashed the 2.02 hboot for downgradability. I'd avoid 2.16 since it is so new and I've heard of issues after flashing. Anything prior to that should be fine.

This.
I was having the same problem htcevo4g03 was having and I had hboot 0.76.2000. Here is what I did:
Made a nandroid backup
Using rom manager I downgraded to clockworkmod 2.5.0.7
Downloaded hboot 2.10.0001 under Evo Stock and Radios
Wiped data and cache (I don't know is this is necessary but probably not a bad idea)
Flashed hboot 2.10.0001
Downloaded and flashed fresh evo 4.2 (a rom that wouldn't flash before) via recovery and it worked!

Not a problem. Turn your phone off and hold the power button and the volume down button. This will take you to the bootloader screen. The hboot and radio versions should be at the top. I'm betting your hboot is .76
I had the same issue that you did and nothing worked, I was unable to flash any new GB Rom besides cm. I tried flashing stock, using multiple versions of clockwork and amon ra. Nothing worked, updating my hboot to the latest version fixed my issue, I'm guessing its something to do with the hboot version and hardware combination. You may lose fastboot commands, if you're unsure of what those commands are I doubt you'll miss them. And recent developments have allowed for downgrading of hboot. I'll dig the link up for the latest hboot.

I personally flashed the 2.02 hboot for downgradability. I'd avoid 2.16 since it is so new and I've heard of issues after flashing. Anything prior to that should be fine.

Hey Man,
I haven't tried anything yet but im going to this morning.
Looking at the bootloader screen, says:
Supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.10.001
MICROP-041f
RADIO-2.15.00.05.02
Ok so I should download anything prior to 2.16 and flash like a rom?
Thoughts after youve seen my version?

This.
I was having the same problem htcevo4g03 was having and I had hboot 0.76.2000. Here is what I did:
Made a nandroid backup
Using rom manager I downgraded to clockworkmod 2.5.0.7
Downloaded hboot 2.10.0001 under Evo Stock and Radios

Might sound weird, but have you tried reformatting the SD card?

hey the reply is much appreciated!
If you read my op, I mentioned someone told me to dl sd formatter on my pc which I went through the steps and it didnt work.
Hey man If you get a chance please read my op, this is prob going on a month and a half and no fix to this point. I would have though if I brought the issue here, it would be resolved like that but it hasnt. Iv tried everything ppl have thrown at me and not a thing has worked. Other than froyo roms and 2 gb roms(cm7/miui), cannot getting anything to work. Ill flash a rom, it always says successful I reboot, turns to the white screen and gets stuck, rebooting over and ove, always back to the white screen and Im forced with a battery pull to do anything else. AMAZING!
If you can just look over the OP maybe just maybe you might have something you think could work.
The very last thing i tried, in which 2 ppl said they were having the same issue, was to downgrade the Hboot. I did this and it didnt work. SO frustrating.
The one thing I did not try that was said to do was unroot, go back to stock, and root again.
SO lost here. Again thanks for contributing to this thread.

I would just go ahead a unroot,wipe the hell out of it then go a reroot the see what you get. With everything you have tried so far that maybe the thing you need,sorry I couldn't be more help.
Same situation here now
So.. i'm in basically the same situation.. with a wrinkle.
I just tried.. about 8 roms.. ALL of them get stuck on the white screen
Except.. CM 7.0.3.1.. that seems to install
Any thoughts on what the heck that could be?
Roms I tried:
miui
warm 2.2
calkins new one
kings 3d
fresh 4.2
I agree... unroot, run the s-on tool form unrevoked.
run the RUU for your phone
re-root
flash Amon Ra recovery and try a new ROM
Hey hip,
OK if I have to start from scratch I will. But since I'm a super noob, can you please be a little more specific on the steps I have to take? I don't know much about s-off and s-on tool and also what ruu is. If you can just point me in the right direction then I can follow the directions.
And ty for your time
