If your LCD is not coming on I suggest this
Take your phone apart again, then make sure your ribbon cables from the LCD are plugged in securely and snug. The cable might not of been pushed in enough and after a few weeks it fell out.

If I remember correctly, that means you have a new screen, which the current Clockwork doesn't support. There might be a workaround for Clockwork, but I haven't looked into it. Try an alternate recovery.

So that answers my question about whether or not this is a SLCD? LOL
Trying a custom recovery now....
this should do the trick
Refurbished Incredible? Sounds like you have the LCD screen. Download this:
http://www.dougpiston.com/files/Reco...MG_cwm_mod.zip
Rename as PB31IMG.zip and put on the root of your SD card. Flash via HBOOT (Turn phone off, then hold volume down + power). Follow the prompts and it should flash recovery for you.
K, I installed the alternate recovery and it worked.
phew!
So do these SLCD screens suck? And if its a SLCD does that mean its new and not a refurb?
im still waiting on koush to fix this problem..but how i load roms is go to recovery through the bootloader...it works that way..but when you try to flash them the new way..the screen messes up.. i wrote koush on twitter and hes working on it as we speak to get it fixed....hope this helps
Download rom manger from market, open,it will ask you to use rom manager recovery,flash it..scroll down to bottom where it says flash alternate recovery. flash ra gnm recovery v1.7.6..good to go
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Clockwork does work, you just can't see what it's doing. If you wait it out then it always boots through flashes, at least for me.
it never worked that way for me....it always just stayed there....hopefully itll get fixed soon...i had to go back to the g1 days of using amon ra lol...clockwork spoiled me

The SLCD screens don't suck, but they don't have as vivid of colors as the AMOLED screens. However, they're said to be better in bright sunlight where the AMOLEDs can be hard to see.

I got a refurb a few days ago to fix my 3G signal issue, and I got an AMOLED screen in it. It seemed pretty new to me though, I might even say it felt newer than my Incredible did when I first bought it.
It's vibrate is much stronger than my old one was too, which is kind of weird.
So I'm not sure if Verizon is sending out new phones as refurbs, but if they ran out of the AMOLED devices it seems possible that they'd start sending new ones out.
From what I've read the SLCD screens are also sharper than the AMOLEDs, making reading text on webpages and other things easier. They also use less battery on white screens/themes, where AMOLED screens use less battery on black screens/themes.

As someone said before, they aren't as vibrant, but they give are more power-efficient. SLCD's mean that it's new...er. Verizon / HTC are only selling SLCDs now, and, if you happen to get a AMOLED screen, it's just because they're trying to deplete their current stock. However, if you started with a AMOLED screen and request a refurbished incredible, you will get a AMOLED refurbished screen back.

quick question. If i root with unrevoked and then use rom manager right after to make a backup, does it back up my stock 2.2? I just got my incredible yesterday as an exchange for my fascinate.
thanks in advance

Yep, but it's going to have Superuser which is kind of a give away.
is there anyway to make a backup prior to the root. in case i need to go back to stock? thats what i thought doing a backup right away with clockwork did (when you use unrevoked) but being that i cant use clockwork, idk what to do

I believe that a Stock backup is made when you root. Its either that, or after you install clockwork, as my incredible has a stock backup that was made without me knowing, and its a good thing that it did, lol. I've had to use ut a few times now.

[Q] Need Help!! First time EVO Root/CM6 gone bad...

OK....long story short...finally decided to delve into rooting and custom roms. Flashed CM6 yesterday and everything was going great. Then suddenly yesterday evening as I was swiping between home screens on my device everything froze, and I have been trying to recover ever since.
Anything I flash now just freezes, and i have a touch panel-fail so even when i do get a rom to boot i cant actually get into set it to usb mode or anything.
using bootloader i can not get it to connect using the adb driver so that I can push via adb.
about an hour ago I was successfully able to run the latest RUU and it ran successfully, but device is still way laggy (takes 15 minutes to boot) and no touch screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! don't know where to go from here. From what I have read its not bricked because I can get into Bootloader and Recovery???
Just a shot in the dark here, but it sounds like since you're stock now it's an actual hardware failure.

Is there way I can verify that the RUU did indeed flash *EVERYTHING* back to stock?
It seen like you have a HARDWARE issues, Re-Boot the Stock Rom. Call Sprint and explain what's going on with your phone, please *DO NO'T MENTION YOU ROOTED YOUR PHONE* Tell them you try to wipe your phone and it was really laggy before you wipe, since you gonna Re-Boot the stock rom the phone is going to get UNROOTED, I know this cause I work at Sprint... So good luck...

I definitely wont rule out hardware issues...this is a refurb device i just swapped my original EVO for on Monday. I guess I just want to rule out any software issues for sure.
You mention that re-booting the stock rom will UNROOT the phone...however I hav no way to currently re-boot the rom??
Also looks like i can not get into recovery now, when I select the option in the bootloader it just takes me to the screen with a picture of a device and a red triangle

Get a Memory Card adapter for PC or use anything that will let you connect your SD card to your computer... As soon as you put the *ORIGINAL STOCK ROM* in your SD card your phone will do everything by itself...

It loads the zip then says parsing for about 1 second then just reverts back to the HBOOT option ???
Doesn't ask me if i want to install????
Looks like I grabbed only the OTA update rom that was posted on that page. I am going to try the odexed version on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251

OK, so I was able to flash the file in the bootloader. It looks like it won't load past the 'HTC EVO 4g' splash screen.

[Q] Bring me up to date

Hello every one I have been away for a wile and I don't know wish upgrade I should do. I have the firmware version 2.1-update1 software number 1.47.651.1 is rooted because I mostly use Wireless tether... this is the most importing app i think i have in my phone i use it every day.

Not to be a **** but you could easily find the links you need by using google or the search function here. You are running some seriously outdated software, I suggest you do your research and update accordingly.

We need more info to help you out. Ok, you have the 1.47 software. Is it a stock rom which was rooted, or was part 1 and part 2 of rooting done? If you did part 2 and you have the engineering bootloader on your phone, then you can just flash the 2.2-based rom of your choice over what you have now after doing a full wipe. Turn your phone off completely. Press the power button while holding volume down and it will boot into a white screen. Post all the top few lines you see on here so we know what you're working with.

Turn your phone off and then power it back on while holding volume down. Tell me what's listed. We are looking for S-OFF at the top and then your HBOOT version.
if you were rooted and NAND unlocked before all you have to do is flash a new ROM based on the latest OTA's easy peasy man.
any Evo based ROM in here as long as your full NAND unlocked and ROOT will work

I was going to recommend that he flash the all in one sprint lovers ROM so he can update his radio/wimax/pri and ROM in one shot. Just wanted to make sure he's S-OFF first.

i have another question will i still be able to use the wireless tether?
If you unroot, you won't be able to use wireless tether [for free] at least. You can try that z-4root, if you just want a temporary root, but I have no experience with it.

Well, where do you currently stand then?
Okay. Now do you have a recovery? If not, go to the market and download rommanager. Then, it'll set up a recovery for you. Download a rom like myns or mikfroyo or cm6/7 if you don't like sense. And then go to the radios link and download the all in one. When rommanager is done downloading, don't let it automatically flash. Make sure you have the all in one radio and the rom downloaded. Turn of your phone, turn it back on while holding the volume down button down and go to recovery then press the power button. It'll tale you to the recovery. Now, you'll probably have to wipe everything(make sure you backed up everything) first, create a nandroid back up tho. And then wipe and then flash the rom and then the radios all in one. You're golden
Someone confirm these instructions so nothing gets ****ed up

Well, seeing your other post, it says you are S-OFF, which is rooted. So you technically can go flash a new rom and be on your way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10992006#post10992006
That thread has all the latest radios, ect. Since you are S-OFF, you can download the first link, the combo. Boot into recover, wipe your cache and dalvik cache, then flash the file. You'll be set then.
What type of ROM are you looking for? If you want to stay close to stock but just be up to date with everything, I stand by my recommendation of sprint lovers. It is essentially stock, but it has some performance tweaks.
Here is the download link for the ROM. As I stated before, it will update your radio/wimax/pri and will be the most current build of software for your phone.
Here is the link for the thread for the ROM, in case you want to check it out, and I recommend that you do.
Download the file, put it on the root of your SD card (directly on it, not in any folders). Turn your phone completely off, then turn it back on while holding volume down (like I had you do before). Give it a minute while it scans for the file and loads it. Once it's done loading it will ask you if you want to update, choose yes (use the vol keys to navigate up and down, power button to select). It will then update everything for you. Be sure to have a charged battery and do NOT under any circumstances pull the battery out during the update as you will most likely permanently brick your device. When it's done, delete the file from your SD card.
This will wipe your phone completely so make sure your contacts are backed up and use Titanium to back up your apps.

Phone went pop and won't boot up.

Went on the market and my phone went pop and keeps bootlooping. Now I can get into the bootloader and fastboot mode but nothing else.
Now what should I do any suggestions?

Did you do a battery pull? Sounds like it just crashed.
done a battery pull etc. just flashed stock images now and its booted up ill see how everything goes. It was just weird because I was already on stock images so I don't see how what I done made a difference.

[Q] PAC 23.0.0 WiFi not working

I just flashed PACMan 23 at the urging of a friend, and scrolled through their post. Several complaints about the wifi not working, and no answers or solutions. I even downloaded the newest nightly. My phone is unlocked, running CWM recovery if that matters and the latest PAC nightly Ace_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v23.0.0_20130707-013802. The Wifi reverts to Europe, then refuses to even turn on, then when i set it back to America, it reverts AGAIN to Europe and won't even turn on. Any ideas?
HTC Desire HD
Pacman 23.0.0
Unlocked bootloader
Also just noticed that it's not properly recognizing that it's connected to the computer via USB, only charges, not letting me debug or anything. When I had Jellytime it worked...
Am i leaving something out? Is there something more I need to post to get replies? This is fairly new to me, but I catch on quick, so if i need more info just ask and ill put it up
