[Q] What the hell has happened?? - SOLVED

ok, phone was on charge, phone rang, went to answer, phone rebooted!. Left it but it stayed on 02 screen??.. Battery out, reboot - same thing!
Tried going into recovery but again it hangs on the o2 boot screen?
What the hell has happened?????
Was running DeFrost 3.6 with no problems!
Someone please tell me my phone is not kaput!!

First of all, pull off your sdcard.

Tried that - removed sdcard - still same.. o2 boot screen...

Can anyone help me please?? I cant even get into recovery to to a nandroid restore.. everything i try the phone just sits there on the o2 screen... is there a way to reflash an original rom incase i have to send it back???
I just dont undestand why answering the phone on charge i have ended up with a f**cked phone???

So i imagine you can see hboot screen.
You may try to flash a new recovery with unrevoked.

Yes i can see the Hboot screens.. i tried the unrevoked methos but it wont go any further than saying: waiting for device enable usb debugging... as the phone wont startup.
Vicious circle eh.. thanks for quick reply though..

What i was going to say .... if you cant get to the hboot screen well then bad times indeed

Extreme solution
If you can get the Hboot screen, as extreme solution, just copy in your SDcard (root directory)the file PB99IMG.zip or similar (I have no brand phone, maybe O2 requires a different file).
Be carefull, because this method will reset completely your phone. You will loose Root, every data, and you'll come back to the original branded phone.
You can search for this file at:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/
Download the zip file corresponding to your version and rename it in PB99IMG.zip
Put this file in the root directory of your sdcard, start the device in Hboot mode and it should start automatically!
I hope this can help you.
If anyone more expert has a better solution, please help him

No i CAN get into hboot screen.. i just have no idea as to what to do now???

Ok, i will lose root but will i be able to use the unrevoked method again??.. or am i completey screwed then as hboot will be too high etc...
I have put my goldcard in.. but just cant do anything

So...the alternative is to have a not working phone. In any case, Unrevoked or not, you should give it a try if you don't have other solutions. But I suggest you to read a lot of threads before you proceed... many similar experiences could help you to understand the procedure.

Yeah agreed.. would rather a working phone.. I have been looking at the bricked threads but they are not so easy to understand.. Appreciate the help though..

follow the hboot steps using the .zip file everthing will return to default so then you can use unrevoked to root you phone again #

Ok, i am completely stuck now.. I think i can repair the phone but i just have no idea how. I have trawled through bricked threads..just cant find a solution.
I think if i could get usb debugging enabled unrevoked might just work.
Using the cmd tool i can use enableqxdm 0 and it says okay - however unrevoked still does not see it as neither does my pc!
I have no idea how to restore my nandroid without getting into recovery???
I am unsure weather to flash the PB99img.zip as i have a branded phone and i am worried i will completely brick it!
Just so so lost....
Heres a tip though - dont answer your phone when its on charge!!!!

Can i use any of the PB99IMG.zips then as it was an o2 branded phone??? Or can i use the update.zip (is this the nandroid backup??) thats already on my sd card - have card reader so can mess about with that no probs..
I have just seen where it checks for the image afetr getting to Hboot so i understand what its looking for now... Question is what image do i use..
Really do appreciate all the help guys

Ok, i tried flashing one of the pb99img and i get a CID error (incorrect). It says this is because goldcard is not present but it is???? Is it because i am using a different standard rom to the one that was on the phone???

I give up for today - i gotta go to work. If i could get USB debugging to work i would probably be ok, but when i do the commands via cmd prompt it says okay but it doesnt seem to do anything!
My goldcard now seems like it doesnt want to be one, thus the cid error..
I am just going round in circles here..
Think i might just throw the damn thing out of a window - Its doing my head in!!!!!
All from answering the poxy phone whilst plugged in!!!!!

wow.. was hoping for a few replies.. guess no one has any ideas.. guess i am buggered then... ok so if i send the phone back to o2 - what is worse case scenario if they do see its flashed??.. will they just charge me for the fix or just not touch it at all??

I would suggest you put your SD card in your computer and verify the content. Or even better, I hope you have a backup of your SD Card after you rooted your phone. I think your partition may have gone, so you can't boot up anymore. Try to format your sd card, partition it with Gpartition or whatever prog you have and copy back the content of your SD Crad back up on your newly formated SD card. It should do the trick. The same happened to me when I changed my 8gb SD Card for a 16gb one.
Good luck and let me know how it works (or not).
forelli, in Darth Sidious mode.

The sd card seems ok in a card reader? I did do a backup a while back but i have a spare sd card so i will try that? Would the sd card problem stop me going into recovery though??? I thought that was phone based and not sd card based??

[Q] "Used" SD Card Causing Problem with Root? Now it's a brick...

I used Unrevoked to root my Incredible with no problems. When I copied some other ROMs to test, the phone wouldn't give me any options. It ran thru the following error message (in high speed...had to take a pic):

Upon investigating this I think I realized my problem, but don't know how to resolve it: I pulled the stock SD Card from my new Incredible and dropped in my "used" Eris card (rooted, too). Now I have two sets of directories on the card; one from my old Eris and the new Incredible one. I'm guessing this is confusing the OS. Here's what I've tried:
* deleting the old Eris directories, but to no avail
* when going into Recovery, I have the SLCD problem with the screen not reading right, but since I can't get the phone to recognize another ROM, I can't address that problem
I'm thinking of reformatting the card, but worry that once I do that, how will the phone be able to even boot when it's looking for a ROM?
***UPDATE*** being impatient, a risk-taker and a man of adventure, I have now done myself in, I'm afraid. I went ahead and reformatted the SD card and to my surprise, when I restarted, it found the PB31IMG.zip and updated it. After it completed, it asked if I want to reboot, I selected "Yes" and now it won't boot at all. When I hold the power button it vibrates once and that's it. After that, nothing works. When I do a battery pull and hold power button again, it vibrates once and...nothing more.
Next steps or suggestions from those much smarter than I am?

Can you get into HBOOT, at least? Completely power down, then hold the volume down button while powering up. Also, reformat your SD card to FAT32. Look around the forum for the SLCD recovery.

Why were you trying to flash a new PB31IMG.zip? To flash a new ROM, you should have booted into recovery and selected "install zip from sd card," navigated to wherever the zip (such as SkyRaider_33_Sense_Final.zip) is located and installed from there.
BTW... those are not error messages. The phone will search for those files whenever you boot into the bootloader. After it cycles through them, you have the option of selecting recovery.

The memory card shouldn't have mattered. I used my Eris card on mine with no problems.

i'm actually running into the same exact problem...any help at all would be wonderful

first do a search here on xda for clockworkmod on crack...that file has a fix for your slcd in recovery.download that first and rename it to pb31img.zip put it right on the sdcard not in any folder. now download a rom from one of the forums to a computer, any rom for dinc, put your sdcard into the pc. put the rom u DL on the sd somewhere youll remember. unmount the card put it in your phone, hold vol down and power this takes you to the bootloader. now it will automatically search for pb31img.zip, click yes let it update.normally you click no but this is an exception, now press vol down to select recovery. takes you to recovery, goto install zip from sdcard, choose file on sscard, now goto that rom I said to remember. click yes, should be good to go

the problem i am running into with this is that the screen won't turn on at all. like the OP said, i get a single vibrate and thats it, the screen doesn't turn on. if it did, would be an easy-peasy fix. but since the screen won't turn on, i seem to have run out of options. took it into best buy and they just told me the battery was dead. its been charging for a few hours but to no avail.

ive been trying to help 3 diff ppl wit this problem, if its just doing the vibrate its cuz ur just trying to pwr it on, thats NOT what were trying to do. its easy do exactly what I type
1, take batt out, put it back in
2, hold vol dwn, dont let go, now hold pwr dwn til a white screen comes up, takes a few seconds
3, now if this doesnt work, its b/cu have an slcd and u didnt install correct drivers b4 rooting, and I cant help u nemore after that

[Q] Swapping SD cards

Hi,
I'm having trouble swapping SD cards and I'm hoping someone can help me out!
I have a Desire, rooted with DeFrost 6.1a ROM, ClockworkRecovery, HBOOT 0.80.0000, S-ON, Radio 5.22.05.14 accoring to 'About Phone' and Radio 5.11.05.14 according to the Bootloader. I want to put in a 32GB card. It hasn't quite gone as planned! I've spend several days looking through the forums and trying things out but nothing has solved it so I thought I needed to ask for help.
I tried the obvious route of copying the SD card to the new one and then turning the phone on, but it hangs during the boot - I get the Nexus One X image thing that pauses, stops and then starts again (it's not a continuous flow like it should be)
When I rooted the phone I did it the gold card way because it was before Unrevoked did Desire. I tried Unrevoked again to see it if made a difference and to get S-OFF, but it comes up with 'Internal error - couldn't find misc'
Another strange thing - I have flashed ClockworkRecovery, but when in Bootloader and I select 'Recovery' and get the red ! and triangle icon, I press volume up and power and I get 'Android system recovery <2e>' rather than the Clockwork Recovery menu, plus text in yellow along the bottom saying E:/can't open /cache/recovery/command. I have reflashed it several times from RomManager, but it doesn't seem to change this screen. I also tried to flash AmonRa recovery but have had no luck trying to do that!
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?? Is there something simple I've messed up? Or should I reflash to the stock T-Mobile ROM, swap SD cards and then re-root again?
Many thanks for any help,
Happy new year
Andrew

[Q] Can't boot into recovery...

Hoping someone can help me out - I have a rooted Incredible, and went to use ROM manager to flash back to a backup made 2 months ago. Also flashed an older version of CWM recovery (because for whatever reason the newer releases never worked). The phone went to boot into recovery and do it's thing, but then the version of CWM I flashed didn't allow the phone into recovery, and now I'm stuck at the boot screen and a battery pull didn't work. I can't even power down/reboot the device (unless it's plugged in), it just goes black for a second, then HTC Incredible screen shows for 2 sec, then back to boot screen. Any ideas? I tried putting an older version of CWM onto the root of the SD, but it's not recognizing it as an available "update" on the Bootloader screen.
Thanks for any help!

You would need a PB31IMG version of CWM. You can get it here http://dougpiston.com/?page_id=85. Put it on the root of your SD card the hold the volume down+power button, and wait for it to load it, except the update and that should do the trick.

Would I need to erase the ROM manager file from the SD card so that it picks this one up? It's not picking up the .zip and prompting me to install...

I don't think you would need to do that. Make sure that the file is named correctly PB31IMG. Ive had the issue before where I named it PB31IMG.zip and I did not have to put the.zip after it otherwise it won't be recognized. Maybe that's the issue you are having...

You sir are a genius! That worked perfectly. Thanks!

Glad to help! I think the reason your wife's SD card doesn't work either, is because it is not in FAT32 format.

[Q] Red Exclamation when Factory Restore nonrooted

I've tried to search around the fourms but every seems to have rooted their phone. I never have, but it's been acting laggy and shutting itself off from time to time, I've had my Incredible for about a year and a half and just wanted to wipe it in hopes that it wouldnt shut off randomly and run faster but when i go into settings and into SD & Phone storage and do Factory data reset I end up getting stuck on a screen with a phone and a red triangle with an exclamation in the middle.
When that happens I can hold down the power button and the up volume button and try and restore from there but it always just loads my phone back up how it was, nothing gets wiped and it also puts it into auto roaming so I have to call and reprogram my phone with verizon.
Any ideas?

It sounds like either you have a custom recovery installed (rooted), or your stock recovery may be corrupt. First i would try to do a factory reset from hboot. To do that power off the phone pull the battery and reimsert. Then hold vol down and power till a white screen pops up. Then use the vol keys to navigate to factory reset and the power button to select. If that dosent work i would do an ruu. To do that download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip and place it on your sdcard in no folders, do not rename. Pull battery, replace, vol down and pwr to enter hboot. Hboot will automaticly find the file and prompt you to press vol up to update. Do so and then when propmted again press vol up to reboot. Once rebooted your phone should be like new.

Tried it in hboot and it seems to of only wiped half my stuff. Apps and everything are still there but it's almost as if they reset and are taking me through tutorials again and all my setting are back to default.
I'm downloading the ZIP file ya gave me now, i'll let ya know if that works. Thanks for your help!

Okay, took my SD card out of my phone to make sure i placed that file on it and not somewhere else, i did NOT unzip the file onto the SD card either, just simply copied and pasted the ZIP file onto the SD card, it's not in a folder either. Put the Sd card back in, turned phone off and entered hboot, hboot isn't prompting me to update though... any ideas? :\

Try backing up the sdcard to your pc. Then with the pc format the card fat32, and then put the files back on. If that still dosent work, you could do an ruu.exe with your pc. Install htc sync http://dinc.does-it.net/HTC-Sync/3.0.5606/setup_3.0.5606.exe, then download and run this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Image...0_Incredible_C_hboot_1.02.0000_4.08.605.2.exe, with the phone connected to the pc. Follow the steps provided and it should reflash the phone for you.

Okay I tried to do your second suggestion first but when i ran the program it said that the phone was not connected to my computer, and to check to make sure the USB was plugged in. It was though, it was in charge only, should i have set it on something else? I was literally watching it charge.
Then i reformatted my SD card, it did find the file and it tried to update with the file in hboot but it said it had failed because the version on my phone was older.
What a pain huh?

Having htc sync installed should give you the correct drivers. I think its suppose to be charge only mode, try it on sync mabey, worst it can do is say it cant find the phone again.
It probably said the version you were trying to install is older than the one already installed. What android version are you on again?

Moving to Q&A

says im using version 2.3.4

just tried the ruu again and put my phone in sync instead of charge only and htc sync and the ruu still say my phone isnt connected but my phone tells me it is.
The main reason I'm trying to factory restore is because none of my apps hold. I try and download new ones and they end up force closing and disappearing. Apps that I update do the same thing. My phone will keeps apps i've had if they update and disappear but they go right back to needing to be updated again. New apps just go away and if i try and redownload them they just disappear again.
