I am having problems rooting my HTC Dinc with the Slcd. I rooted it with the unrevoked3 update, but when I go to clockwork and choose recovery the screen goes black and does nothing. In order to reboot it I have to pull the battery.
Any advice?
Thank you,

You have to use a different recovery on slcd. Read here:

Hello All
Having tried to do all my research before getting my new desire, which came today i was quite confident that rooting would go smoothly. How wrong i was..
The Problem is...
I have changed the hboot as you have to with unrevoked and also changed the recovery image as my phone is the slcd version (0.83). However when running unrevoked, and having now completed the 4th attempt, Unrevoked continuously stops an waiting for 5 second after the recovery image is being put on.
Somebody please help, i have gone through the forum and can not seem to find what can help me overcome this problem
Thank you
David
From what I gathered in the unrevoked thread, slcd is not fully supported, might take a few days. Are you sure you have the latest version?
There is another thread (or 2,3,4) in development about slcd and rooting, did you read them?
Download a Ubuntu live cd. Boot up.in it and use unrevoked in Linux.
http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/desire/howtolinux-root-your-desire-using-unrevoked-in-linux/
That method worked sweet for me.
For whatever reason unrevoked on windows wasn't as easy as Linux.

Clockwork supports slcd now.

Thanks guys, all is sorted now. I just ran unrevoked without a custom recovery image and everything worked out. Took nearly have a day but i got there.
Now struggling with the partition in clockworkmod, as soon as i select partition sd in rom manager it reboots and goes straight to an exclamation mark in a white triangle and an android bot just below it.
How would i overcome this?
On Monday my replacement Incredible is supposed to arrive because my old one had an issue with the GPS but after doing a little research I see that there have been issues with ClockWork Recovery and the SLCD models. Have these issues since been fixed? I don't want to go rooting the replacement phone (which I'm assuming will be SLCD) and ruin it. I was able to root my AMOLED one fine and return to stock for the return. Thanks for any help
I have an SLCD DInc as well. I know a few people have said they found a CWM Recovery that works with SLCD, but I can't seem to find it yet. With Unrevoked still working on a fix for the Nov OTA, I'm hoping they offer a package with CWM for SLCD.
One that works well is this one:

Hello all
I have a Rooted DInc with the original AMOLED. Cracked my LCD so now I have to replace it with a SLCD. My question is will the rooted Dinc freak out when I install the SLCD since it's not a AMOLED? It was rooted using unrevoked 3 but unfortunately I can't remeber what ROM and kernal i used last.
Thanks in advance

you're replacing just the screen? does it not need different drivers (which was the big issue with unrEVOked3 in the first place)?
if i were to hazzard a guess, i would say HECK YES.
i cant say i know what will happen replacing the screen but unrevoked works with SLCD as does the latest clockwork recovery. i have SLCD myself and had no problems rooting and flashing CWM. also want to make sure whatever ROM youre on supports it...
yeah just the screen, touchpad digitizer still works. I remember reading that about unrevoked awhile back before i rooted but was hoping I read it wrong! daymn!

All i remember was it was a Sense ROM. Just remember the Dev finished it but wasn't going to support it anymore.
Hello everybody. I bought an Incredible with the SLCD screen. Droid Incredibles come with either amoled or slcd screen types. The newer Incredibles have slcd screens. Not knowing this Incredible had the slcd screen, I went ahead and rooted it with Kinsellea2's rooting tutorial vie a Mac here: [How To] Root 2.3.4/downgrade and Get S-off
Anyway, Clockwork Mod recovery does NOT work afterwards as this tutorial was meant for the amoled screen type Incredibles only. Now when I go into Clockwork mod recovery on my phone, I do see HBOOT but as for recovery, I'm seeing is a black screen with two white lines on both sides of the screen. No recovery, no backup, no restore, no nothing. To top it off, the phone does not read the internal or external micro SD memory cards anymore. It's saying both are unavailable with no space information.
Again, the phone is rooted with no S-OFF as I could not get Unrevoked 3.32 to work.
I need help to flash or restore a SLCD type screen Clockwork Mod onto this phone. Could someone give me advice how to accomplish this PLEASE ?
What android version, hboot, and baseband are you on at the moment? Could you also post a link to the thread you were folowing.
Your best bet probably is to just do an ruu and then start from scratch with rooting.
EDIT: Nevermind you said it wont see the sdcard. How are you trying to access the sdcard, with the phone booted? I would still try an ruu, its possible hboot will still be able to read from the sdcard.
I've used Unrevoked method 3.22 and then 3.32 along with Clockwork Mod 5.0.2.0 to root the phone. No go as Clockwork Mod 5.0.2 is only for AMOLED sctreen types.
I can't post outside links yet. But can someone post a link to the RUU method for this phone ?

Cwm 5.0.2.0 should be compatible with both slcd and amoled. Its only the earlier versions that were screen type specific. If im not mistaken if its an incompatible cwm you will not be able to see anything, even hboot or the os when booted. Sounds like your cwm img file may be corrupt, i would not use that one again.
Are you downgraded to 2.2 yet or are you still on 2.3.4?
You can get the ruu here http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip, and here is how to flash it http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=79.
Unrevoked 3.32 was not able to downgrade me to 2.2 I'm still at 2.3.4 I can boot to HBoot but I can't get to recovery, backup, restore screen. My screen is black with two white lines on the sides.

If your on hboot 0.92 i would use this guide and try again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306400
If you are on hboot 1.02 i would try with this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258
cmlusco, I'm on HBOOT 0.92.0000. The guide you linked to was the exact tutorial I followed which got me to this predicament. Again, when I got to HBOOT and I scroll down to recovery, all I'm seeing is a black screen with two white lines on the sides. No menu selection like a normal recovery screen.
I did used Unrevoked 3.22 initially then the tutorial said to use Unrevoked 3.32 afterwards, which I did. During Unrevoked 3.32's operation, it gave me some sort of error and the operation stopped. That's when I tried to go into HBOOT and realize the black screen with white sides. What's weird is that the phone will not mount the internal and external memory cards anymore. That's the reason I can't use ROM MANAGER as it needs the SD card to be mounted. I can mount the cards thru recovery in HBOOT but I can't even get to that screen
Have you tried to ruu yet? Sounds like your best option at this point.
Thanks a lot for the advice and suggestions. After trying three days to root this phone, I finally got it rooted. Issue #1, during the rooting process the phone somehow lost connection, lost ability to detect or read both the external and internal SD card memory. I was able to solve this problem with the this procedure:
SD Card Fix
Press & hold vol down and power on the phone
Select fastboot by pressing the power button
ADB commands (from the command line in Terminal)
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
Issue #2: I follow the tutorial exactly but somehow the phone never was able to turn s-OFF. I had to run Unrevoked 3.32 like five, six times before it finally was able to. During this whole rooting process, I've learned quite a bit.
So I was trying to root my Droid Incredible, following the instructions from here:
androidforums(dot)com/incredible-all-things-root/427344-how-root-2-3-4-downgrade-get-s-off.html (replace the dot with a period)
And after the instructions to use unrevoked 3.22 to install a custom recovery instead of the one bundled with unrevoked (I have a SLCD screen Incredible so I had to install a custom one) but unrevoked installed the bundled one for me, along with trying to root, and now I can't boot into recovery (older version of clockworkmod gets a black screen with white bars on the side) and I also can't boot into anything besides hboot.
I can't figure out how to reflash anything, and I really need help since I need this phone fixed as soon as possible. If anyone needs more information just let me know and i'll provide all the information needed.

I've seen this before, if you flash this PB31IMG.zip through hboot then it should reload 2.3.4, granted you wont be rooted but you will have a working phone.
http://www.mediafire.com/?1ovb6959r9qyg6w
Make sure it is named exactly "PB31IMG.zip" (without the quotes) and your SD is formatted to FAT32, I would imagine that since you had already gotten to the part with flashing unrevoked that you are familiar with this already but I just want to be sure.
I don't know how, but I stumbled upon the 2.3.4 RUU last night (this morning?) and reflashed it, and holy damn, it worked. All my things were deleted from the old OS, but it's alright.
Im now running ICS with an experimental build of Cyanogenmod 9. Thank you for trying to help, I appreciate it. :good:
