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

I was trying out a custom rom when my phone suddenly goes into boot loops. I can get to HBOOT but it bootloops when I choose recovery, factory reset, or clear storage. I get the splash image then it reboots after a few seconds.
My phone:
Incredible AMOLED
S-OFF
Hboot v .92
Baseband 7.28
What I did so far in HBOOT only with no success:
-formated my sd to fat32 and
-flash the PB31IMG.zip of radio 7.28 ( I was on 9.01 )
-flash the PB31IMG.zip of 2.2 RUU (got back the HTC splash since I had the Chicago Bears splash on it)
-flash the PB31IMG.zip of Clockwork Mod 2.5.05
-connected the USB and rerun the Unrevoked (see if I can reroot) but it won't connect to the phone. Just wait for device.
I want to S-ON so I can send it back but I can't get past Hboot to get to recovery mode. Is their another way to return S-ON by just flashing PB31IMG? I'm really screwed now and its Thanksgiving.
TIA

That's Qualcomm Diagnostics mode, because you pressed vol up while booting the phone with a USB cable attached. That will only happen when you have S-OFF.
To get out of diag mode, unplug the usb cable, take the battery out, wait a few seconds and then boot as normal.
With respect to the OP..the only way to get S-ON is using the S-ON patch by unrevoked. If your HBOOT is verion .92 then you didn't flash an RUU (maybe the latest RUU has a newer hboot? didn't think so). You should flash an older RUU, like the 2.1 one.

thats whats odd.
the usb wasnt plugged up
i flashed theme from clockwork
im s-on ...
and ive now tried to flash stock img from hboot... and still does the same ..wont allow me into recovery
in hboot right now this is what it says...
"INCREDIBLEC XC SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.92.0000
MICROP-0417
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_12ab
RAIDO-2.15.00.07.28
JUL 23 2010, 18:06:51"
so it looks like it flashed back to stock but still odd boot problem
Regardless if you're booting into HBOOT make sure you're holding volume down and not up.
HBOOT is version .92 now for stock? I didnt know that.
Ok so I pulled my SD card out yesterday and when I reinserted it all hell broke lose. Everything was FC'ing so I did a battery pull and when I turned it back on it stuck on boot screen. I tried doing a nandroid restore, stuck on boot screen. I tried wiping system and reinstalling rom. Went through copying files 4 times then errored out.
Then I became a dumbass. I had an old Stock IMG of 2.1 and figured that I would go back to stock and retry again. Well I forgot that 2.1 was only for AMOLED and I currently have a SLCD. So now I'm stuck with a phone that has no display and even acts like it has no system. I can't boot into recovery or anything like that.
When I connect it to my PC it shows up as HTC BOOTLOADER under devices. Its not recognized in HTC sync nor with it show up when I run ADB DEVICES. I know I need to install the current RUU but no idea where to start.
Thanks in advance for any help I could get.
Can you get into hboot? With phone powered off, hold volume down and press power at same time.

Hey all,
I'm at my wit's end. After a random reboot at one point while I was running CM7 Wimax beta 6 my Evo began continually restarting after hitting the white HTC EVO 4G splash screen. I can get into HBOOT, but I cannot access the SD card via USB, nor can I get into recovery. Thankfully I have USB MicroSD reader, so I can access at least attempt to flash things.
I've tried to flash new recoveries, stock ROMs from a PC36IMG.zip, various methods of unrooting so I can just physically return the device, with no success. All I can ever seem to do is hold the volume down button while it's booting to get to HBOOT, and nothing I flash seems to let me get any further.
Does anyone have any advice? I'd be happy with just unrooting the bastard and exchanging it at this point, but obviously if I can flash a ROM again that'd be ideal.
Thanks in advance.
your best bet would be to grab the ruu, pull your battery, boot into the bootloader, let it find the ruu and flash that. That should restore all of the files on the phone. After that you can run unrevoked or whatever you want and root again.
I've tried flashing the latest RUU and while it seemed to have updated my HBoot to 2.10 it hasn't fixed any of the issues I've been having.
Here's the information I can retrieve off the HBoot screen:
Supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.10.0001
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac
RADIO-2.15.00.11.19
As of this morning im having the same problem from cm7. Can only get to hboot not recovery. 1 random reboot put me into white htc screen loop. Can't use pc36img, says its updating my recovery but then just loops again. plugging in via usb doesnt work.
Thanks for replying. This is a crappy position to be in, but at least now we know it's not isolated.
If anyone has any suggestions please let us know.
i guess we are the only 2 people having this exact same problem,
I was running Liquid Metal, and wanted to to flash to RC 2.1
Earlier that day i "upgraded" to the latest CWR.
however, the CWR did not work via rom manager,
so i attempted the VOL DWN plus POWER.
the HBOOT worked, but the RECOVERY did not.
it would go to a black screen, with white bars on both sides.
and it would stay like this.
i attempted to simply reboot, but it would be stuck on the HTC INCREDIBLE screen.
any ideas? i think i flashed CWR wrong, and thats the issue.
i want to simply be able to boot my phone, etc.
I had a similar problem yesterday and when it was stuck on the screen I pluged in my USB and ran reflash_package.exe from unREVOked.
That fixed the problem, and I was able to wipe and reload a new rom.
All good now.
how exactly did you do this?
I get the error "Failed to Push. Terminating"
The white bars on the side means the recovery is incompatible with your screen type (I'm betting $5 you've got an SLCD screen). As for it not booting past the splash screen... I'm not exactly sure what would fix that... :/

slcd screens are fixed in cwm 3.0.8

Two notes:
1) If you can get into HBoot, your phone is almost never bricked.
2) As someone said, CWR 3.0.0.8 has fixed the SLCD problems.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970032
for CWR info and optimal install procedures.
So I was running Cyanogen 7.0 for a couple weeks now and have tried a few others. I downloaded it with clockworkmod and everything was fine until I updated it to the newest one and while it was updating my phone died. Now it is just stuck in blue boot screen with the arrow going around and around. I tried Hboot but every one I pick including recovery, clear storage, and factory reset just gets me stuck on Dinc white boot screen. Trackball isn't responsive here so I us power and when I try to boot with up volume or both up and down with power it just vibrates a couple times and doesn't do anything. (I have to pull battery after this to Hboot or boot with stuck C& screen.) Please help! I have been reading so many threads on here and Cyanogens forums and everyone else seems to fix it with recover from hboot or clockwork recover comes up for them. I am very stumped. I have had a rooted captivate, EVO, and tried moto atrix and back to captivate before deciding to try out Dinc (and verizon)
I had that problem a while ago. I recall using the the in revoked program all over again. Hope that helps

the only solution that I would think can work on this case if going back to stock.. since you said you can get in the HBOOT.. you could be able to go back to stock and then reroot you phone again... I was on similar situation once I flash the alternative recover in RM... and I couldnt get to the Recovery and I had to go back to stock by putting the PB31IMG in the HBOOT to get it working..

Download the file and place it on your sdcard once you get to the HBOOT its gonna ask you if you wanna update.. then just vol - for yes and you are good to go...
Similar Problem
I am facing a similar situation with my Incredible. I was running CM7.0.3 when my phone randomly restarted but only got to the white "HTC Incredible" screen before looping over again.. and again..
I have tried loading the stock image (used the files from dougpiston site) as well as others through the HBOOT but I still cannot get past the "HTC Incredible" boot screen.
Is there something that I am missing? Does anyone else have a suggestion? I know it isn't bricked since I can still get to the HBOOT but I just can't seem to get it to boot an image. I did notice it is still "S-Off" if that matters.
If you cannot get into recovery and flashing a recovery from hboot doesn't work, you may need a new phone. This was mentioned in another thread somewhere recently.
Make sure your sd card is formatted to fat32.
