Okay, so a friend asks me to fix her Dinc... here's the story.
When I first got the dinc, it only powered up into FASTBOOT (HBOOT 0.92, Radio 2.15). The volume and power buttons don't work. She said it crashed when she FC a program to get more memory.
I tried to flash the phone using pb31img.zip on a newly formatted (fat32) sdcard. It scans the card and errors with older version.
Next I try to flash with RUU. That was successful and I can boot into the phone... in safe mode. In addition, if I shut down the phone and power up again, I get stuck in FASTBOOT and have to redo the RUU.
Okay, I figured with the phone booting into Froyo, all is not lost. I tried to use unrevoked to get root and poke around. That failed with error asking if firmware is too new.
I try to install z4root... that doesn't work either since safe mode seems to mean only default system programs work (I can install, but can't run). Probably why unrevoked failed also.
I'm starting to think it is a hardware issue since the RUU should have fixed everything.
Any ideas???
Thanks.
Go to this website and follow the steps to exit safe mode and see if that solves your problem.... let me know?

When it takes you back to hboot and it loads the ruu and it asks to update say no and it should ask if you want to reboot.... if it don't highlight fastboot tap the power button and it will take you to a menu scroll down till you hit reboot device and tap power button and it should reboot....

Did you try rebooting from fastboot instead of using the ruu again

When it boots and goes into fastboot, none of the buttons are responsive. I have to pull battery.

As I mentioned, none of the buttons in fastboot seems to work, so I can't reboot, just a battery pull. Interestingly, when I have the pb31img there, it scans and tells me its an older version, but then the buttons work... reboots back into fastboot.
I'm thinking of trying the revert to 2.1 and go from there... is it safe to flash over the latest Froyo RUU with 2.15 radio with the following?
RUU_IncredibleC_Verizon_WWE_1.22.605.2_Radio_1.00.03.04.06_hboot_0.79_release_161494_NoDriver_0514.exe

Can't get the fastboot to recognize any pb31img.zip file now... it only worked when I first got the dead phone. Now that I have flashed with RUU, the fastboot won't recognize the pb31img file.
I'm going to have to try to manually flash or root using adb... trying to get all the files now.

Any luck Woz?
Yes, Doug gave me a bunch of roms to flash. Nothing worked. The last step we did before I took a break was to get into recovery using adb. Then I wiped cache and data. That didn't seem to work. Flashed another rom using recovery. Nada.
I put the phone down for a few hours. Then I decided to crack it open to see if it was a refurb (cheap label makes me suspicious). Nothing unusual inside, I put it back together and powered on... the thing booted normally... everything worked.
Doug suspects it was the data/cache wipe, I don't know. I think it was the bug that got let out when I cracked it open.

Pull the battery. Put the battery in. Hold the volume down button and hit power on, which will take you to recovery. Do a wipe data/factory reset and reboot.

If you unroot by flashing the RUU you will have fixed your problem and thus won't need to go to Sprint.
If you can get into recovery, you can fix the bootloops.

What was on the pc36img that you was trying to use?
Can you get back into bootloader?(turn off phone then press and hold power and volume down)
?
I can get back into the bootloader
also when I reboot, I see the HCT evo screen then I get a small picture of the phone with a red triangle and exclamation point over it.
I am not sure which version of the pc36img file I have. I used it about a month ago, now it doesn't work
I would download a new ruu to update in boot loader make sure its for the evo 4g and has your hboot version

you have to put the file on the root of your sdcard and it should already be named pc36img then once its in the sdcard You put your phone to bootloader by pressing vol down and power button then let it scan and it will ask you to update hit yes and let it do its thing
Tell me how it turns out

wait, stop, time out: all you did was lose recovery. download THIS file and put it on the root of your SD card (not in any folders). boot up with power+vol- and let the phone update. when it asks if you wanna reboot say no and then go to recovery. you now will have working recovery to flash away with.
U sure cuz when I lost recovery I could still boot up

I tried to boot again but was freezing at the HTC boot screen.
I booted into recovery and it said it couldnt load /cach/x (command and log and last_log)
Ive tried everything from flashing RUU to new HBOOTS, nothing is working.
Now my laptop keeps saying a USB port is malfunctioning everytime i plug the phone in.

The only issue now is I only have FastBoot Support but no ADB support. I have no idea why but my phone only shows up under fastboot devices and not adb devices. so i have no idea how to use that guide
The Inc 2 ports often go bad. Try wiggling and plugging it in not all the way. Also sometimes had to push on the cable and hold for it to recognize the USB.

If your phone can be used via fastboot it should be able to via adb. Like CS said, It might be a bad micro-usb slot. I would try wiggling it to see if that helps. Being able to access fastboot means its not bricked, it just might be a hardware failure.

If your phone isn't booting past HTC screen it won't usually show up as an adb device.
Are you s-off?

This does not change hboot version so you shouldn't get that error but will put un-rooted stock and stock recovery back on your phone. Then you can install custom recovery, flash su bins and be ready to go again...... hopefully

HI everyone, I need some help. My micro USB port went on my phone and VW sent me a replacement. I used the tacoroot temp root methond and the Revolutionary to gain s- off and flashed the newest radio etc. All seemed fine. Fastboot screen say S- off and shows newest radio, I thought great! time to root. Nope..here is what I get:
first of all I have to use adb shell to boot the phone into Revolutionary/CWM recovery. It will not let me do it by holding the power and vol down button.
second when I go into recovery and pick a rom to flash I get this error: E:Can't open /sdcard/xxxx_ rom.zip.
makes no sense to me. Any Ideas?
You didn't receive any errors when using revolutionary? When you boot up your ROM go into settings and look under the power option and make sure fast boot is disabled.
I would go through the whole process again. It sounds like something went wrong in rooting.
