Early this morning, I rooted my Droid Incredible using the Unrevoked 3 method. After doing so, I completely forgot to create a nandroid backup and went ahead to install a custom ROM (Cyanogen Mod). Now here's the issue. I want to get back to the Stock 2.2 sense. I tried to unroot my droid, but nothing seems to be working. Can someone please help?
You need to flash a stock rom back before unrooting.
Where can I get a stock ROM. I think I just bricked it now because it won't even boot Cyanogen Mod. It's stuck at the HTC Incredible white screen.
Do you know what type of screen you're using? Slcd or amoled ? Each method has a different way of unrooting. Just in a Google search engine type in who to unroot Droid incredible, and then the what screen it is. You can potentially brick your phone if you use the amoled method on a slcd one.
With the amolcd screen it's as simple as finding the right file, hence doing the search engine. When you get the file, all you have to do is just place it in the root of your phone, and turn off your phone and press and hold the power button and the volume button at the same time.
With slcd you have to do it different way. Assuming you haven't messed with the radio, if you did, you have to flash a 07.28 radio. But assuming you didn't touch that, you have to flash something that puts s-on. Ans then after that you have to put a file into the root of your SD card and then flash appropriately.
Now I did this multiple times, rooting and unrooting, and for some reason there's always so
Something drawing me back into rooting and flashing a new rom. There's no greater satisfaction than knowing you can do anything with your phone. But it's entirely your choice.
Oh yeah, to figure out what screen you have go to settings then about phone then hardware information and 002 is amoled and 003 is slcd. Google is your best friend after you figure out what screen you have. Good luck!

You haven't officially bricked it until you can't power it on at all. Try taking out the battery and then holding the power button and volume down. If you can access the white boot screen where it gives you a choice of accessing recovery there is still plenty of hope. Don't freak out you haven't bricked your phone

I can't load anything. The farthest I can go is to ClockWord Recovery, and when I try to reboot the phone, it's stuck on HTC Incredible. That being said, I can't check what screen type I have. However, before it was bricked, I did flash a file to make S- on. And, when I tried degrading my firmware, nothing happened. :/
OK first off the name of the first that you flash should start with a "p" I don't exactly remember the exact file name. Make sure you have s-on, I'm sure you do. And then put that p something file into the root of your SD card. root as in, it isn't in any folder.
Now when you flash this, you don't do it in clockwork recovery, you do it through hboot I believe. Hboot is the white screen when you hold on the power button and volume down. It should automatically read the p something file. And it'll ask you if you want to update. Say yes and then just let it install

PB31IMG, I attempted to Flash it in HBOOT, but it didn't work. Now, I can't even connect my Droid to my computer.
I'm screwed.
Sorry for the double post, but I just followed some whacked-out tutorial that told me to format everything via Clockworkmod Recovery...now when I boot my phone, it goes straight to HBOOT and won't do anything...
OK what can you do exactly, you can get to hboot and what else. Also when did you buy your Droid incredible ? We might be able to figure out which screen you have based on that. Oh yeah and where did you buy it from? Also, even if you can't mount it you can still easily take out your SD card to flash files that way. Don't lose hope, we can still get back to stock

I bought it near the beginning of October, I believe it was the 9th? And, I bought it at Verizon.
Aside from being able to get to HBOOT, I can get to Clockworkmod Recovery...but that's about it.
Can't remember exactly how to tell but know you can tell by the model #under the battery on the phone.

If you could get to clockwork u should be able to flash a rom if your sd wont mount use a card reader and plug directly into your comp

my brother bought his dinc before you and he got a SLCD screen, chances are that's what you have.
here's the page i used to unroot my brother's SLCD screen,
http://dougpiston.com/?p=7
follow it exactly, and just like jaysckap said, you can always take out your microsd card and put it into a usb reader

Ok if you have a card reader for you SD card load it in and open you card on your PC. You need to make sure that the sd card is in FAT32 format otherwise when you try to load the PB31IMG file it wont read it. To check this go to my computer, find the removable drive for the SD card right click and go to properties, you should see what format its in. If it's FAT format copy everything from your sdcard to a folder on your PC, go back and right click on the removable drive and format the card to FAT32. Then of course copy everything back to your card. Then try the PB31IMG file again in hboot.
I would personally just go in recovery and wipe to factory, then choose the option to install zip from card and install the rom or which ever rom you want so the phone loads again. Good luck!
For now, I'm going to flash a new rom and hopefully I can fully boot my Droid again. Afterwards, I'll try to flash that file again. BUT, the first time I did it, I put it in the root of my SD card and booted HBOOT and nothing happened.
EDIT: This ROM is going to take close to 30 minute to download , so I guess I'll be back in 30 minutes; don't leave me please.
do you have a sd card reader? if you do, pop out your sd card and make sure it's format is FAT32, nothing will happen if it isnt FAT32

Just rooted my new DINC, got into the main screen. Went into Clockwork and flashed a nandroid from a different device. Now I cant even get back into CWM. If I hold down and power I get hboot, but anything after that gives me 5 vibrations and blinking green lights. wtf?>
I can actually see CWM for a second, then i get the errors. Is there a bootable CWM, like the NookColor?

best bet is to ruu back to stock and start over
EDIT: first link i sent wont help you
http://d01.megashares.com/index.php?d01=CHoQD3B
put this on your sdcard, rename to PB31IMG.ZIP
boot into hboot, when it asks to apply the update, say yes
give that a shot
for future reference, nandroids from phones are not interchangeable
I dont know how to use ADB, and that tutorial assumes you can run zips via recovery, which I cant...
Isn't there a PMBTG113.zip or whatever file I can boot off of in recovery that will restore my phone to stock

Do you have a micro sd card reader that you can put into your pc or laptop? You need to get that PB31IMG on the root of your card. Then get into hboot to flash.

Yea, I put it onto the root, applied the PB31IMG and rebooted. Same fcking problem. WTF?!?!
DroidHam,
try pulling the battery, wait around 10 minutes, put the battery in and boot the phone. Yes, it is very important to wait for that long.
Post your results if it booted or not, i had the same issue.
Also let me know if this is a refurbished phone.
ya its a refurb...
I downloaded this:
build-3.26.605.1-release-152016-baseband-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG
Renamed it and it flashed. Then when I rebooted, it doesn't show me CWM anymore, just the HTC screen, a "popping, kind of electric noise", and then 5 vibrations and blank screen, with green blinking LED.
I downloaded the restore above, and renamed it. It doesn't allow me to flash it. It scans it, but never gives me the option to press up to flash.
Keep in mind, S-ON is now set, whereas it was S-Off before.
Previously I was seeing CWM for a split second then it would crash. I dont see CWM anymore but its still crashing at the same point.
If I copied a nandroid backup onto a different phone, it cant be COMPLETELY ****ed right? Just needs to be rebuilt somehow?
So when I put the battery back in in 10 minutes, should I reflash that RUU I mentioned above, or what?
Any ideas?? Going on day 3 w no phone......

How do I root if i can't get past hboot??!
Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using XDA App
I attempted to root a new Incredible for a friend and had the same thing happen a few days ago. I was able to create a nandroid backup via CWM recovery, and then flashed CM 6.1. CM then bootlooped when trying to boot for the first time. After this point I was unable to get into recovery. The screen would just go blank and would vibrate multiple times. At one point I did manage to succesfully get into CWM recovery without the screen going blank, but then recovery would not recognize the SD card. I restarted and was never able to get back into recovery.
I then attempted to flash a PB31IMG.ZIP from HBOOT that was supposed to restore it to factory state. At this point the phone when blank in the middle of flashing and would not do anything other than vibrate when I would attempt to power it on.
I told them the phone just inexplicably died and they exchanged it at the Verizon store. Everything went perfect with the replacement phone. I figured what happened was a one time thing, but after reading this I would definately be hesitant to root anyone elses Incredible.
Do all phones have hboot?? I don't wanna get screwed. But this was sent was Asurion.... i really need to fix this. There must be a way please!!!

Just got off work... do the battery pull, wait 10 min, then the start phone see what happens.
I'm not sure at what point you are with the RUU image at this point so take out your sd card just to be safe.
You are getting into the Qualcomm diagnostic mode, which is basically 5 buzzes and then the green light keeps flashing green correct?
I will be on and off for the next few hours to see your results.

5 vibrate = defective usb plug/phone... time for nother refurb. theres a couple posts on it, happened to me.
I don't know much.. but I'm pretty sure this thread is in the wrong section. Mods should move this to Q&A or General...
Sounds like there weren't any ideas in Q&A for this one, and I haven't seen much in terms of not being able to access recovery, so here goes...
I was happily using CM7, and while reading through a Diablo III news page (hopefully it comes out soon ), my phone rebooted into a boot loop. Weird, but I figured at worst I would wipe data and reinstall a ROM. Unfortunately, I can't get into recovery any longer.
If I boot the phone normally, I see the white HTC splash screen for a few seconds, then it reboots. I can use HBOOT fine, but as soon as I try to reboot normally / boot into recovery / boot into Restore Factory Defaults, my phone will reset. Let me clarify...
Pull and replace battery
Boot into HBOOT (volume down + power)
Select Recovery
Phone reboots and reaches CWM Recovery 3 for about 1/2 second, not long enough for me to click anything
Phone reboots into boot loop
I've used HBOOT to flash to CWM Recovery 3.0.0.8, downgraded to the stock radio, run the 2.2 RUU. I'm still running up against the same boot loop problem.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a hardware problem, but I'm anxious to hear if anyone has ideas to try first. Additionally, is there any way to restore to S-ON through HBOOT in case I need to bring this into a Verizon store? I have fastboot.exe that can recognize the device over USB while the device is in HBOOT, maybe this will help?
Thanks!
Current state: Ran 2.2 RUU, S-OFF, HBOOT-0.92.0000, AMOLED, 2.15.00.07.28 radio
Thanks again.
Had this exact issue while running cm7. First couple of from when it was crackflashers. I couldn't find anything to help or fix it. I got a new dinc because I can't afford to be without for long.
Good luck dude.

Thanks for the note. Maybe my fate will be the same. Did you get any sympathy from Verizon?

Can you flash cwm 2.5.x and try? Not sure if it will help but worth a shot?

Yeah take out battery, then pull out sd card put it into a adapter and insert it to ur pc. Then find the file that was shipped specifically for ur device it looks something like this PC130mg.zip or some crap like that anyways put that on the root of your sd card. load ur card back to your phone now into hboot(volume down plus power) mode. Your phone will auto detect that file and start to ask if u want to install update say yes boom it will flash back to stock.....however my only concern would be if u need to turn s-ON before u do this.
I did this for a evo 4g and it worked but I turned s-ON first as it was in the instructions I was following. I think maybe the update file checks to see if ur S-off or on. But don't quote me on that.

Yeah, I agree with popasmurf. Put the PB31IMG.zip on your sdcard. Then let hboot discover and update it. It'll be back to stock and youll have to reroot but better than a paperweight.

@phazeone let's say he just does that. Now his phone reboots and is on stock and looses his root, now he can root it again and then turn the S-on by the single file flash from recovery mode, and then use the update file again to flash the phone back to normal stock without root ( if he was taking it back) so whenever u want to manipulate the S security u must be rooted correct?

Thanks for the replies.
I tried this method to flash back to the stock 2.2 image before I started this thread. That's what I meant by "I've used HBOOT to ... run the 2.2 RUU." The stock image seemed to install properly in HBOOT. I have evidence that it successfully went back to stock, since I get the original ! triangle graphic instead of CWM when I try to enter recovery from HBOOT. However, I only see the graphic pop up for a brief second before it reboots again. Trying to boot into recovery or the ROM itself still result in a reboot.
I cannot achieve S-ON without having access to recovery, at least there's no way that I've found to do it through HBOOT.
Any other thoughts? I think it's a hardware problem. It appears the phone is back to stock (except it's still S-OFF), but everything outside of HBOOT causes a boot loop. I stopped in at Verizon this afternoon and they'll be sending a new phone to arrive by Tuesday. At this point, it'd be nice to try all avenues of repair for the future benefit of others that run into this problem.
Probably bad memory chips on the phone. Since it happened all of a sudden during normal use it usually indicates hardware failure.
That is pretty much what I determined. Bad hardware. Sorry for your trouble but is nice to know I'm not the only person to ever have this. Also nice to know I didn't miss something that could've brought it back to life.
I filed an insurance claim. Figured since I have had it for years and never used it I'd take advantage.

You can boot your phone like regular right? Just let it launch up or do you get loops?
Nevermind i see what ur saying. when i was flashing incorrect kernals i would get the same behavior from my phone. So i suggest you take phazeones link and try that file.Because u might have the incorrect file. There might be more than meets the eye make sure u got the right file.
When i searched for my zip file for my evo there was like 4 of them. They had to match what was said in the upper left corner of my hboot screen. So let me knoe if it worked
I wonder if he could just wipe that SD card, place a new Rom etc on it and reinstall. Bricking displays no response you've got a better shot at recovering course your SD card/battery could be bad
Since you're trying to flash the 3.x.x.x version of CWM, that may be your issue. Here's a zip for 2.5.0.5, one of the most stable earlier Recoveries. Flash through hboot as per usual.
If that doesn't work, (I'm assuming that you can boot the phone normally at this point) try re-rooting with the Unrevoked tool.
Then use Rom Manager to flash a newer Recovery (be sure to check Erase Previous Recovery under Settings). If that still doesn't work, I'll see about packaging an RUU in a PB31IMG.zip with a valid version of CWM as the recovery.img within that zip. I'm not sure about the practicality of this final option, but if it comes down to it, I'll attempt to package that up for you.
This sounds incredibly frustrating. Thus my interest in the matter.
There's gotta be a way to fix this... even if it's just long enough to get S-On and keep your warranty valid.

This would work if he could access CWM Recovery, but he can't, thus the issue.
I wonder if he could mount something from within hboot and replace the binary code for the recovery image with a bunch of zeroes and then try flashing another through hboot again.

I was JUST about to post the same topic when I came across this. I have done the stock image restore, restored BACK to hboot 0.92, back to the most current INC radio, and have tried flashing CW3.0 and Amon_RA. Everything flashes fine but the boot loop continues and if I try to enter recovery, it lasts maybe one full second before rebooting again. The only thing that I can think of that would create this situation for me was that earlier I was trying to update the PRL via *228 on MIUI but the dialpad never popped up so I hung up.

[waiting for flash of build-3.26.605.1-release-152016-baseband-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip]
It just seems unlikely that this is a problem with flashing the wrong recovery, or the wrong stock image, since booting into recovery and booting normally both exhibit the same behavior. If I could boot normally into recovery but not boot into a stock image, I would suspect that I had flashed the wrong image. Since both have the same problem, I think it might be something else.
[finished flashing build-3.26.605.1-release-152016-baseband-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip]
Same behavior. White htc Incredible splash screen -> darkness for a second (presumably while the ROM tries to boot) -> reboot.
Alternatively, HBOOT -> Recovery -> White htc Incredible screen -> Triangle / ! error screen for a half second -> reboot.
[finished flashing CWM 2.5.0.5]
Same behavior:
HBOOT -> Recovery -> White htc Incredible screen -> CWM recovery 2.5.0.5 for a half second (this confirms that it flashed properly) -> reboot.
i used unrevoked3 to root my phone and i never did anything to the phone. no custom roms or anything. Im on Android 2.2 and i used this technique to unroot youtube.com/watch?v=irOD_Kho-Ks and now my phone wont come on. Please help or am i screwed? im a noob to this stuff
You're not entirely screwed. I'm going to say you have an SLCD incredible, and the one in the video is an AMOLED device on 2.1. The RUU you flashed was for 2.1 and the older hboot and radio. Made for the AMOLED. The SLCD is different and so you can't see the screen now. You will need to flash a new RUU.
Here is an SLCD compatible RUU: http://dougpiston.com/files/RUU/bui...and-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip
Rename PB31IMG.zip on root of SD card.
You will have to flash it blind though. So make sure it's charged. Then boot into hboot (Vol + PWR DWN) and wait a few minutes for it to recognize the zip. Then you should be able to press VOL+UP. And this will take a while. Say 5-10 minutes.
Then you should be able to press VOL+UP again, and it will reboot into stock 2.2.
EDIT: And you will need to use a Micro SDHC card reader to put the file on the card. Because you can't see the phone to mount it through USB.

I can get my Evo into the bootloader, but it won't allow me to reboot (it goes to the HTC Evo screen, then the screen goes dark and vibrates 5 times), I'll pull the battery and go back into the bootloader, I'll try to go into recovery and its does the same as rebooting. If someone can advise me what I can do to fix this, I would appreciate it. I messed up when I flashed an old Radio (2.15.00.07.21) Wont do that ever again :-(!
Specs: HBoot 2.10
Radio: 2.15.00.07.21
S-Off
3.29.651.5
I am a noob at this so please be nice, I also get the radio_v2 fail-pu when trying to update the phone, I'm not sure if i have the right PC36IMG file, thank you for your time!

I don't even recognize that as any radio I've seen for the Evo. The last one ended in. 11.19 or something like that. The one before that ended with. 01.09 I believe. I don't recognize the one you used. Are you positive it was an Evo radio...? Your situation doesn't sound good though. I would try running an RUU from fastboot, but if you did flash a non evo radio, your probably in trouble...someone correct me if im wrong and that is indeed an evo radio.

Have you attempted running a 3.29 RUU?

Download the 3.29 version, boot your phone into the bootloader, select fastboot, connect to your pc. Once it shows fastboot usb on the phone, run the ruu exe.

It is, I just checked; its rolled back 3 versions from the 11.19 version.
Can't he place a PGimg.zip on root of his SD card and fastboot from his phone to return him to stock s -off ?

He can place a PC36IMG form of the RUU and do it that way, but if he wanted s-on, he'd need to flash the unrevoked s-on tool from recovery, which he can't get to.

Ok hi. So here's the deal:
My EVO can boot into bootloader, and it can get into recovery. Cool right? NO!!!
here's where the problem starts: I installed a corrupted ROMand of course, like every ROM, I wiped everything before flashing that one, and ended up not having a system to fall back on... And now the only thing I can do is get into the Bootloader and recovery.
The following issues I'm having, and the thins I have tried are:
1. I have tried putting the PC36IMG.ZIP at the root of the sd card.
- That didnt work though, and I figured that would only make sense, due to the fact that in recovery, it says "E: cant mount sd card"... So why/how would it work in bootloader?
2. It says "wrong image" when it tries to update the IMG file
3. I'm not a complete noob, I am willing to try ADB, I just dont know the commands to use :-( and IDK what to "push" or, even how to get the computer (PC, NOT a mac) to recognize the phone since it's... well, borked, I guess.
4. I' guessing that's the ONLY way to truly fix the phone and flash another ROM... is from the PC? But if so, HOW? Please help me.

Make sure your sdcard is formatted FAT32.

Hey that sounds like it would work, but my question is...How do I get the phone detected on the pc, if the phone cant read the sd card? You get what I'm saying? Like, what buttons do I press to enable the USB to be picked up on the computer? Thnks a lot man.
That happened to me. You have to hold BOTH the Vol+ and Vol- Buttons at the same time until it starts vibrating. You also have to connect it to the computer in order to make it vibrate.
EDIT: You have to take out the battery while plugged in. Sorry for forgetting
When u put the PC36IMG.zip (named exactly like that) on your SD card, are u sure it wasn't named PC36IMG.zip.zip or any other variant of the correct name? Use a card adapter to put file in main folder of SD then put it back in phone. Then boot to bootloader n test. What recovery did u have installed when you tried to flash a radio? Clockwork will not flash radios

Yes I did... It says wrong image
Well I have had my question answered by a friend but the answer was not the best of news.
Evidently my rom is corrupted which makes me feel like a jack a** for not rooting sooner since from my reading of the forums you can 'flash or re-flash' the different rom builds and recover your phone. So my conundrum exist in the fact that i never did root since i love sense so much and i was told that s-off negated it period, my phone being bricked or soft bricked since i can get into the boot loader is there a way to root and flash a custom rom so that i can get the phone to work.
And also im running the official upgrade for froyo
espresso pvt ship s-on\hboot- 1.02.0000
microp-0620
touch panel-synt0102
radio-7.15.35.16
nOV 26 2010,20:43:01
any help would be appreciated since i have some thing that i want to get off the phone that i deem relevant in my life as well as the desire not to buy a new phone quite yet since im not eligible for an upgrade
What exactly is wrong with your phone? How did your friend know it was "corrupted?"
Have you tried this, as copied from another non-rooted person:
1. pull battery
2. replace battery and turn on power WHILE HOLDING volume down. This will access "Hboot"
3. use the volume down button to hover over option 3 Clear storage
4. select using the power button
5. hit yes using volume up
I don't know anything about the official update, but can't you update your phone again with that same procedure?
Oh, read up on your problem. You dropped it in water. Is that obvious? Can you check and see if they'll send you a replacement. That doesn't actually sound like your rom is corrupted, it sounds like your hardware is fried.

So this is my dilemma i have a slide that was dropped in water, it started to work for a moment then it stopped it's stuck on the splash screen and wont go beyond that. It will go into bootloader but wont boot in recovery mode. It does read the usb in recovery mode although i cant access the files (it just shows the hr glass and i mean for hrs.. I would try to root from this point point but i got the official froyo update so i cant go s-off and i dont have a gold card or the facilities to make one. Help please i dunno what to do from this point!!!........
that was my original question. I didn't get a reply so i got a hold of my friend who lives in alaska, who also works for an it company he says that it sounds like the rom is corrupted since u can access some of the primary functions ie. bootloader, it does read from the sd card, it does go into fastboot (sort of).
I bought the phone off of craigslist so no insurance there either, so rocjk in a hard place yes. Ive tried clear storage as well no luck there, as for re-updating i would have to be able to access the sd from the usb, and although it does read it every time i've tried to access it won't let me from the desktop.
So i come again to those with more knowledge than my self in hopes of garnering the requisite knowledge. How would/could you tell if the hardware's fried or not?
I don't know about your phone but on my Evo 4G I can load a fresh copy of the official 2.2 rom without going into recovery.
I just downloaded the RUU for my phone and renamed it to PC36IMG.zip and it automatically loads on the hboot menu from my SD card. It had to be on the root of your SD card to be seen.
I get the feeling that you may have a different issue if you dropped it in water.

would i need to create a gold card for that to work? or could i just use a sd card reader download and hboot it from that point?
I've never heard of a gold card but just did a search and found info on it. Yay more stuff to research!
I'm not sure if you need one. Someone else will have to answer that. I didn't need one. But then I used unrevoked to get root, now I'm not even running that stock rom.
