Sorry about double posting, but I am getting desperate (posted on Q&A).
Can't find an answer to this on google or xda. Didn't know if I should post this in General or Q&A.
I have been using my Incredible since it came out. I quickly learned about rooting, roms, s-off... with no problems. I have been running Skyraider almost from the beginning.
Here is the problem: A few days ago, I noticed on the SR thread that there were updates for the radio and hboot. So, I went ahead and flashed them. Almost immediately I started noticing the screen becoming unresponsive. After a minute or two I did a battery pull, rebooted, and again after a little while, freeze and reboot. I also noticed that even when the phone is awake but screen off, it would wake itself up. The rebooting and freezing makes it impossible to use my phone.
I tried everything I could think of:
Nandroid restore (obviously didn't work since this doesn't effect hboot or radio).
Reinstalled fresh SR Rom wiping everything, including dalvik, and did factory reset.
Finally, I downgraded back to the hboot and radio versions I had before, still no effect. (Baseband version 2.15.00.07.28, hboot .79 ).
I tried installing another ROM (Uncommon sense) to make sure it wasn't a ROM issue, ..same problem.
Please, any help would be much appreciated. I don't know what my next step should be.
PS, I am not overclocking, just using stock kernel.

try downgrading to completely stock 2.1 then see if it keeps doing it...otherwise I'd say that maybe you did something wrong installing a file and it's bricked...that's what it sounds like anyways

Today it's running a bit better. I'll keep testing it, if it continues to crash, I will take your suggestion and go back to 2.1 and start over.
Just a thought: are you restoring your stuff via Titanium? If so, you may be restoring a bad / incompatible system instruction. You might try this: Do a master reset and restore your important apps (not data) one at a time to check performance. Install data later (also individually) as needed.
HTH!

I did use Titanium (apps & data, but not system). I am currently testing Uncommon Sense Rom. Been running fine last 2 days. Idk why.

Hiya,
Firstly, yes, I did a search. Here's my problem.
I used unrevoked and rooted my phone, so I could remove bloatware, tether etc. I then installed the hydra kernel to OC to 1.113 (stock volt), and this worked fine too. Couple weeks passed, everything's dandy, and today I decided to give Cyanogenmod 6.1 a try. So I get that up and running and decide that I like the Sense UI better, so I go into the ROM Manager app and tried to restore a backup that I made before installing the ROM. So the phone restarted, and then displayed the HTC Incredible logo and it stayed there.
I waited 30 minutes, pulled the battery, tried to boot. Same thing.
I held down vol down and went into HBOOT, and selected recovery. I get the black screen with vertical white lines on the sides. Waited thirty minutes, no change.
I then tried to reset factory settings through main HBOOT menu. Got the black screen with white stripes again.
So, it appears I bricked my phone. My theory is that the space on my SD card was too low and when I did the backup not all the information was saved, and when the phone tried to reset it pooped out, on account of the fact that the restore data was incomplete.
Thoughts? I do have the Best Buy warranty on this thing, so I'm wondering how that could offer some sort of solution (although I am pretty sure they will not like the fact that it has been rooted..). So in summary: Halp!!
Thanks yall.

Hater of Mayonnaise,
Have you ever been inside the recovery, working? I'm guessing no. The screen you described is an older clockwork recovery on an incompatible LCD screen. Try one of the newer recoveries. 2.5.1.2 should work work, as well as BAMod, and I believe Doug piston has one up. Rename the file to the proper PB31IMG.zip format and load from HBOOT. After that, look for your backup or install a new ROM.
You're not bricked till the phone doesn't turn on.

Yes I've been in it many times. When I first tried (while rooting my phone) I had the same thing happen, but I got the newer recovery or something (I forget what I did) and it went away. Why would this problem come back?
Maybe koush didn't fix the new one, so when you upgraded it broke. Go back to the older one that did work and all is dandy.

[ROM] SkyRaider Vanilla 3.0.1 RC3 ran this for a few days. did a back up and installed Incredible Gingerbread[Android 2.3 ran this for around twenty minutes. no back up done and tryed to install The Ultimate Droid 2.5.0. Thats when the problem started.
my phone has the andorid in the middle of the screen and says touch to continue. gives this error android .process.acore when android is touched. can only dial 911.
Since you didn't do a backup, make sure you do a complete wipe. If necessary, do a RUU and try again.

Factory reset, or something similar. Can't remember exactly. If not there, try fastboot.

Try going into the phone from safe mode. It might help you figure out if its the rom or an app on the rom.

Which means either your sd card is not FAT32, or you named it wrong.

Or the file may have been corrupted during download. See if the md5 checksum matches that posted on the download site.

This is driving me crazy. No phone for days.
Ok i formated the sd card to fat32 via my computer sd slot. downloaded radio to computer from here
radios/2.15.00.07.28/ copy PB31IMG.zip to sd card via computer. with s off i did this , power off phone. Hold DOWN volume and press power. to accesses the hboot screen. hboot updateed PB31IMG.zip. yeah.
when i rebooted it goes into this endless loop of the red eye and the word droid.
Please advise.
Thanks
It isn't the radio you need to flash. An RUU is a stock rom as delivered by HTC. Try one of these.

Sounds like you may need to reflash recovery too.
Edit: On second thought, you're recovery is probably ok. I was getting your problem confused with the original poster's problem.

Epic 4g running bonsai 4.0.1, rooted with CWM3.005 and flashed to cricket 3 months ago. I've been using titanium , superuser, pandora, all programs worked great. I even got most of the sprint crap off my screen.
Last week I was powering down to change batteries but I popped the battery out before the final buzz signaling full shutdown. upon reboot, phone had lost my home setting, icon placement, etc, and had sprint crap back on it. i reloaded the bonsai zip, but I cant restore using titanium because it won't let me access titanium, or pandora, and most of the games and apps I've installed. Also the launcher crashes a lot now...
Do I have to wipe the phone and start over? anyone have a suggestion? thx for reading...
Bravo u found a new way to factory reset

Yeah, I feel like a tard..
...whats odd is I still have bonsai, and i can still access CWM in recovery mode, so...i'm still rooted, and yet, it won't ACT like its rooted, denies me access to post-root programs. So odin from scratch? (hope this is a lesson for all us impatient noobs....WAIT FOR FINAL LIGHTS OUT! LOL)
Did you try wiping Cache and Dalvik 3x first? If so, sounds like an Odin fix. I would start fresh. One thing I have learned from testing things that aren't released yet is that Odin is actually pretty painless if your phone is recognized by PC. Its 3 min 35 seconds to get back to stock, 2 min for Root. The longest part is the RFS to EXT4 file conversion but its not bad at all and at least you will have a totally clean install.

Running Synergy RLS1 my phone app (com.android.phone) keeps not responding apparently so I get the popup for wait or force close. If i reboot it fixes it for a while but it keeps happening. Im worried im missing calls or texts. And what if theres an emergency and I cant make a call lol. Is this a Synergy issue or what? PS I tried fixing permissions.
You have proper version of hboot and at least a 2.1.x radio?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
To be honest, I have no clue. How can I find out and is that something I can fix without reflashing/wiping/etc.?
Boot into hboot menu; device off, hold volume DOWN and power until booted into white screen. Hboot version is listed at the top. Use volume button to navigate and power button to select. Radio version ; Settings, About Phone, software information, look at the baseband version, that's the radio.

Hboot 0.92.0000

Hmm, which version of CWM does the thread say is required, and are those versions of hboot and radio acceptable per the thread?
Got ample space on the sd?

What clockworkmod recovery version are you using and what was your rom installation procedure?
ive been using rls1 since it was released and this just started happening the other day. i think it may have something to do with Faceniff. I remember it starting sometime around installing and using that app
Do you know what a clockworkmod is Paintboarder? Its a recovery system and you can find out easily what version you are running by using Rom Manager in your app drawer, and just look under recovery, and it says current recovery: Clockworkmod ?.?.?.?
Hope that helps you if you dont already know. And maybe your getting FC's because you didnt do a clean wipe and install. Did you try fixing permissions?
im completely aware what clockworkmod is. im not that much of a noob. im running 3.0.0.8. like i said. my installation process couldnt be the issue since i have been running without issues since the release of rls1
the issue is seeming to have receded a little since removing Faceniff. That doesnt mean it doesnt still happen. It does. And btw read the OP. I did try fixing permissions.
My bad, didnt mean to downgrade you just wanted to be sure. Well im running Synergy RLS1 right now and i havent experienced that issue. If it were me i would just try reflashing it. So far it is an amazing ROM.
Sorry man i guess i looked past that part about the fixing permissions.
flashed a different radio i saw in someones signature. seems to be working fine now. also i had the 3G and 1X connectivity issues and the solution in the ROM thread fixed it.
I'm using the older incredible without slcd and have had no issues, wonder if that connectivity issue is tied to that in any way? Guys with the newer incredible vs. Old
Dink sporting Synergy RLS1. Xda app.
Mods and not wiping seem to cause pretty much every error with FCs that I run into. Only time I get them reintroduced it seems is if I freeze/remove something that's needed by another program or if I restore data for certain programs (which were backed up under another ROM).
I have RLS 1 installed too and it ran fine for about 6 days before I started getting fc's. I was rebooting at least once a day the first 6 days then I didn't reboot for 2 days and started getting fc's. So I started rebooting daily again and I don't seem to have any more problems.
Is there a way to undo the leaked ICS firmware I've flashed? I've been hit with the post viper CM10 lag that seems to be going around and I thought I'd try everything to get rid of it.
Have you tried chilly's super wipe? There is a thread for it.

Same here. I super wiped two days ago and formatted my sd card. I thought I had it and my phone ran fine for a day. I charged it over night and when I took it off the charger, it was shot again today. When it actually boots, I can't get past the unlock screen. It holds there for about a minute before going into a boot loop. I didn't even think of the ics firmware. Maybe I'll try going back to stock tomorrow and then reflashing cm10.

I don't know if it's the firmware or not, but I thought it was worth a shot. I have used chilly's wipe and I have gotten the huge lag since then. I'm running his PAC rom now and I used his wipe twice before I installed. I've also v6 supercharged so I'm waiting to see if it happens again. Is there a copy of the old firmware that is flashable like the new one?

There at threads for different ruu's. I'm not sure which one you need. Search through those. Also, when your phone starts lagging try connecting to a computer in adb I think, someone posted that that fixed theirs temporarily. I think they narrowed it down to the SD card being bad and with it connected it dismounts the SD card and doesn't have the problem. That might help.

I'll give that a shot next time. Usually I just pull the battery and install cm7 so I have a working phone.
Okay, 1st you need to return to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599767
After this process you need to flash cwm and superuser:
I believe this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751796 has all the files (including adb) set up in one .zip under "TACOROOT"
Or just download them from here:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/77740451/Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip
This is what I did to remove the firmware. I didn't have the lag, but I was hoping to solve camera issues.

Just a quick note...When I was running CM10 I would get the boot loops at the lock screen, but if I just let it alone, it would loop 2-3 times and then settle in. It took a while, and I avoided rebooting my phone at all costs, but have you just let it sit for about 10 minutes to see if it pulls out of the boot loop? Mine usually came out in less than 5, but you never know. After it booted up it settled down and ran fine. I've never used the Venom rom or super wipe though, so ymmv.

Some have reported that it's linked to a usb / sdcard / storage issue. Lag starts after connecting.
