Ridiculous Boot Loop - Two bricked DINCs

Both experiencing the same problem,
One UD 8.0 got stuck in loop after I tried installing Koush Kernel
2nD one is running CM6.0.1, was fine until I tried using to read Phone #1s MicroSD to figure out what was wrong.
2nd phone (CM6) then restarted randomly while plugged into PC, which started the bootloop.
Tried everything, nandroid (Couldn't mount /Data), I wiped, factory reset, tried reflashing update.zip for CM6 phone.
Both phones are completely useless, not sure what to do at this point and CM6's owner was leaving town.
Any ideas? Ultimate way to unbrick a DINC? If you know of anything, please help.

A boot loop is not a brick. I would nandroid back to stock(you did this right?) or use an RUU.

Does this mean you can get into hboot?
If yes, you should be able to ruu an official release..

I do not have a great deal of experience, but since you can get in recovery, place King Kernel #3 on your SD card, boot into recovery and apply the KingKernals #3 zip file from your SD card for the 1st phone. See if that fixes it. Just sounds like incompatibility with the kernel if it happened right after you flashed it.

UD is an AOSP Rom, King's kernel does not support it at this time.
I would try a fresh install of the 8-26 leak. Do wipe first, then do dalvik wipe under advanced settings. Get deodexed version of rom Here
If that does not work let's get some information
Did you run unrevoked forever and get S-off status?
What radio version are you using?
You should not be borked if you are getting into recovery you should be fine.

@ToyTank
BOTH phones are - 2.05.00.6.11 S-ON, Neither are unrevoked forever.
Problem with phone 1 (UD) is that the SD card is completely messed up now. It's an 8GB that has nothing on it, the compuiter is reading it at 758MB. Any function of Recovery leads to errors mounting, so flashing stuff isn't working, nandroid as well.
Phone 2 (CM6) let's me flash stuff onto it, "Install from sdcard complete." but will continue into a bootloop when I restart the phone.
I attempted RUU last night and maybe I'm doing it wrong but the software is giving me an error connecting to USB. How should I go about installing the 8-26 leak? Just wipe > throw in PB31IMG and install?

I assume I don't need unrevoked forever for this, I tried 8-26 and flashed PB31IMG.zip, Device 2 Starts dancing until it says "Main Version is older! Update Fail". Anybody know a workaround?

Try formating the sd card to FAT32 using a computer. That might help with phone #1. Error with usb can be solved using these steps.
1. Try the RUU executable. it will give you that usb error, taking you to the black htc screen.
2. Exit the ruu program (leaving phone in that state) and run it again. This worked for me when I RUU'd mine.
Who knows though. It may have been a one shot deal.

sounds like you are trying a bunch of stuff without READING about what you are doing. you flashed kernels with a rom that CLEARLY states that they will not work and then you tried to flash unsigned roms through hboot which will not work without s-off and then you try to downgrade when you have the ota leak (radio 2.05) which will not work.
you either need to get the ruu working, get s-off applied or follow the steps to go back to stock hboot.
time for you to start doing your homework to get yourself out of this mess.

Neither are bricked. Ruu back to stock.

yeah bro not good practice

@Fretless, @Lafester, @GermanBrat. Thanks for the comments - going to try RUU 3.21.605 and report back.

Hey guys RUU worked for Phone 2 (CM6) but is not playing nice with Phone 1. USB connection error. I appreciate the help so far, any more ideas for this phone?
It's basically stuck in white htc inc screen and will go no further. It's completely wiped and nothing will mount in recovery. RUU can't detect a usb connection but the PC beeps when I connect via usb

[Q] I need a bit of help

I've search up and down all night looking for a solution for my problem. The other I let my lil cousin play with my phone. Somehow he got into the recovery and started formatting everything. After I found out my sd card was cleared completely I was like "its ok just put the rom back on the sd card and flash it" lets just say it didn't work. Each time it gets stuck at the splash screen. I was thinking maybe the custom splash is locking it up but I'm not sure on what to do. Anyone got any advice on what to do so I can get my phone back up and running?

If it were me ... I would start over, reflash the recovery image, do a complete wipe, and flash a full rooted rom/radio image. Once everything is back working, update profile, prl, and then move on to your custom rom of choice.

i've re-flashed the recovery image and everything
I've tried flashing Synergy but just isn't happening. Could the custom splash be effecting it?
So after a while messing with i stuck my ad card in my friends hero to see if the data,android.secure file etc etc would have any effects but nope

When you wiped, did you use something like Calkulin's "format all" zip? If you already did that then I would try going back to a stock splash image. Perhaps something went wrong with the splash image install.

Grab one of these PC36IMG.zip here and put it on your SD card.
It contains the stock splash screen and will basically RUU you. You will still have S-Off. Just get the one that corresponds with your HBoot. Then try reflashing recovery and wiping everything 3 times and flashing the ROM of your choice.

Help Possible Brick

My buddy's incredible seems like it may be bricked. I can get into recovery, I actually installed the team win 2.0 recovery over top the cwm recovery he had before. I have tried a couple of roms after wiping everything and I cant get past the first splash screen. I have made sure that the radio is up to date, the recovery is good to go but it doesnt seem to want to get past that splash. Anyone got any ideas?
Hard to tell what rom he was running before, I think I installed some version of skyraider (froyo) for him about 9 months ago.
Im not new to android and know my way around fairly well.
I believe its SLCD. Would definitely appreciate any help.

I suggest downloading CWM recovery from "http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=28" and installing either CWM 3x or 5x. Label the file "PB31IMG.zip" make sure it is NOT labeled "PB31IMG.zip.zip" I just took a look at the Twrp recovery thread and several others are having issues.

I don't think its bricked, just try flashing a new rom by using USB during recovery or updating a PB31IMG.zip over it

After trying multiple things, the issue seems like it was from a corrupt ext3 system. It now works after repartitioning the sd card and the ext3 partition.

I hit another snag. After I got the phone booting, I flashed MikRunny and now all hell is breaking loose. The phone will not boot unless I trick it into turning on by plugging the USB cable in when I see the splash screen. MikRunny just loops the boot animation so I cant get into the android system. I can get to hboot and recovery but the phone is not recognizing the sdcard at all now. My PC does recognize it and I have formatted the card multiple times. I cannot get adb to recognize the phone. I dont know if this is a driver issue or an issue caused by the problem. I tried flashing a new recovery by using the PB31IMG method, but I can't because it doesnt recognize the sd card. I tried a different micro sd card and same issue.
I could follow this guide if I could get the SD Card to be noticed (the phone is giving the 5 vibrations when I try to turn it on without the USB cable):

I tried installing an RUU while I was on the hboot screen (not sure if this is even possible from this screen) but the RUU keeps telling me the battery is less than 30% when the recovery shows about 75% and I just charged it recently.
Anyone have any insight on what else I could try? Thanks in advance.

It's a hardware problem unfortunately... You will have to send in for a refurb... I've had the same thing happen to me twice. Wish I had better news for ya, just make sure you flash back to stock through hboot before returning

Not sure how to flash to stock through hboot because it will not read the sd card. I have been able to get the pc to recognize it using fastboot.
If I could somehow get a rom flashed using fastboot I could fix it. Is there any way to flash a .zip update using fastboot? Or a way to force install the RUU exe without it checking battery level?

Does ADB recognize your phone in CWR? If it does you might be able to get away with Mounting the /System and simply swapping out the Mik Bootanimation for the Stock HTC Bootanimation found in /System/Media? (Correct me if I am wrong). Then basically tricking whoever checks if the phone is rooted with a Stock Bootanimation that bootloops
Hope this helps.

[Q] Can't get dinc back to stock

Ok so here's the problem I'm having. I'm trying to take my phone back to stock so I can send it into verizon. The charging port is broken, so there's not RUU option. I've flashed gingerbread, and have gotten back to s-on. Now, I've been following the guide (stickied) and once I get to the PB31IMG.zip flash step it won't do anything. I can't get rid of Clockwork, and the superuser icon is still present on the phone. Whenever I try to flash the zip (I've downloaded from multiple sources) it gets to the "checking" part and then goes back to the hboot main screen. What am I doing wrong, and what can I do to fix it? I'm on a time limit because I need to send it away by tomorrow night. Thanks for all the help.

What hboot and gingerbread version are you on?

I'm on .92 hboot, and i think it's 2.3.4.... it's the 2.15......28 radio.

Ok first backup and format the sdcard fat32 with a pc. Then download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip, and place it on the sdcard in no folders. Then put the sd back in the phone and boot to hboot and see if it will find it. Sometimes if there are errors on the sdcard it wont process the file correctly, reformating it should fix this. If it flashes correctly go back to hboot and do a factory reset, this will ensure all data is gone.

Thanks a thousand percent! That link is what did it. I've tried numerous sources over the past few days and it never got past the "checking" stage. Everything is all sorted out now. Thanks again.

Phone will only boot into HBoot

Hello,
Well, hopefully someone can help me out with an issue. While I've rooted and flashed phones before this, I probably know just enough to be dangerous. So, I was planning on moving back to my EVO 4g and thought I'd like to put ICS or JB on the phone to use as my normal device. So Sunday, I started playing with different ROMs in the forums. After flashing several ROMS I had an issue start. The phone would go through the White 'HTC EVO 4g' boot screen, stay there a moment and then reboot. I tried to reflash that ROM and had no luck. The only way to get out of this loop is to pull the battery. After searching on the website all week, I've tried several ideas, however nothing works. The last thing I did was to basically go through the process of rooting the phone again. After I did the fastboot command, I put the su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip file onto the SD card and used the recovery tool to install the ROM. After I did this, I restarted the device and no joy. However now the phone will only boot up to HBoot screen. I can get to recovery, however I can not put any ROMs on the phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you got a custom recovery or a ROM installed? You've only mentioned su binary zip which, I believe, isn't either of the previous.

Actually, No. So I went back and looked at the directions I was following and realized that the 'su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip' file was not a ROM or recovery file. When it was flashed onto the phone the stock rom was still on the phone. So ... I sent the 'TeamDIRTremicsUXv1.3' ROM over to the SD card and flashed it ..... IT WORKED .... thanks for the help!!!!!
Rob

Good to hear!
Enjoy the Team D.I.R.T goodness!!
Happy flashing!
