I just tried to unroot my Incredible and when it went to reboot all I have is a black screen, can someone please help me?
Anyone able to help an idiot out? I really screwed up, I checked multiple sources before attempting to unroot, and I now have a black SOD
Did you try ruu
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
How would I do that?
Looks like you flashed the RUU, probably a PB31IMG.zip, but for the AMOLED mode. And I'll bet you have an SLCD device. You will need to run the RUU blind I believe.
First go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786436
Put the part 2 PB31IMG.zip on your SD card. Put it in the phone. Boot holding Power + VOL Down. Wait a few minutes for hboot to verify and recognize the image. Then press Vol + up. And wait... Probably 10 minutes or so, it should eventually flash the RUU for 2.2 that comes with the SLCD model.
Here is the newest one that I know of:
http://dougpiston.com/files/RUU/bui...and-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip
It has hboot .92, the 7.28 radio, and its the 3.26.605.1 release. Put it on your SD card, and rename it "EXACTLY PB31IMG.zip".
Also make sure your SD card is FAT32 or it will not work. Hopefully you have a micro SD card reader. Comes in handy.
How can I save it to the root when I can't mount it as a disk drive?

Just refreshed the tread. You'll probably have to go get a micro SD card reader.
I found an adapter laying around, so I'll try and hope for the best, thanks for your help
How do you reformat the sd card to fat32? I think that may be why it's not working for me
Nevermind, idiot moment
Still just a black screen, any suggestions?
Is it possible that my battery completely drained somehow and that's why it isn't working? If so, being that I have nothing, if I plug it in to charge, will it still charge the battery?

Did you follow bretts instructions and give it a few mins before trying to install the update
What process did you use to unroot?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Yeah, I did exactly what he said. I think what happened is the unroot zip I initially downloaded was for the AMOLED screen and I have a SLCD. It was not clearly marked one way or the other, so I'm pretty sure that's what I did. I'm just trying to get it fixed now.

Your best bet is to try the ruin again just give it plenty of time to get to hboot and load up b4 you press up to update..... and make sure you are formatted fat32 or it won't work

I was trying to downgrade and the phone seemed like it was stuck after hboot to PB31IMG so I pulled the battery now when I try to boot the phone, it vibrates but gets stuck on a black screen. Please help
hold vol down n power at sametime
see if u can get to recovery from hboot, if not I think u mightve screwed yourself

I think the phone is booting up, the buttons at the bottom will light up and the charging light will come on but the screen stays blank.
If you can get into HBoot...try to do a RUU with these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817487
Also...how long did you wait before pulling the battery? And what exact step were you on when you did it?
I waited about five minutes and I cant do ruu because I cant see anything. The screen is black. Thats the step I was on. It said updating do not turn off. After it was done. I let it sit and it didn't do anything so I did a battery pull, I have the phone charging now and the charging light is on.
you probably should have waited at least 30 min...most of this stuff needs time usually if it seems like it's hanging its probably not. did you try getting to hboot yet?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I didnt know to wait that long. Also, I tried but I cant get to anything, the phones charging light is on and when I hit the power button, the charging light goes away but the screen stays black. The lights at the button are on also, so it looks like the phone is on but the screen is black.
pull the battery again, then hold vol down and pwr til u get to hboot then let us kno wat happens

Am I missing something? I thought I couldnt get into hboot because I cant see whats going on. The lights at the bottom are lit up and the charging light is on but the screen is black. If the screen is black, I wont know if Im in hboot right?

it sounds like youre ignoring the help I'm giving you and youre just tring to turn it on everytime, phone needs to b completely off for hboot yo. yes you did something wrong to it. we just need to kno if u can get there to kno if u f'ed urself or not and fix it for you

Here is the fix for the Desire: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748498
In theory this fix should work the same for the Incredible, you just need to find the correct Rom.
The problem is that you tried to revert to the stock 2.1 for AMOLED screen phones, and you have a SLCD screen.
Now you basically have to find the SLCD version (not sure if there is one for 2.1?) and blindly get into HBOOT/Recovery and hopefully press the correct buttons to install the SLCD Rom for your phone.
I think this is the rom you want to try flashing (it's the stock 2.2 RUU): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IH461NS4
Good luck...
nevermind then, try lookin for clockworkmod on crack post in development heard it has the drivers for slcd, you have to rename it pb31img.zip on root of sdcard so you can see recovery

Im trying to listen to what your saying, idk if im doing something wrong. These are the steps im using.
1. I pull the battery.
2. put the battery back in while holding volume down with the power button.
3. it turns back on, i hit up a couple times on the volume
4. the phone turns on, the bottom lights and the charging lights are on.
I can hear the volume go up and down, when i hit menu, home, back, or search the phone vibrates. When I use the volume up and down buttons I can hear the volume going up and down so the phone is on.
I appreciate your help and want this fixed, i may be doing something wrong and sorry if I dont understand but Im not trying to deliberately ignore your advice.

Hey guys,
Was just looking through the market and saw an animations app, so i downloaded it, installed as normal, accepted the superuser request and chose what animation i wanted, (I chose blur if it makes any difference). It then requested a reboot, so i rebooted, but now nothing happens to my phone, It is just like the phone is powered off, nothing comes up on the screen. Ive tried booting normally and booting into recovery but nothing
Any ideas?
I'm using Leedroid ROM and Kernel, both on the latest versions.
Thanks in advance.

Take the battery out again, put it back and then hold volume down & power button. You can also connect the charger to be sure that this is not caused by low battery level. If it still stays off, you should send it to HTC.

Hi
I have the same problem. When I put the Battery and plug in the chagher the red led start to flash.
After 1 minute stops.
If someone can help us we will be very happy!!!!!!

Got the same problem after starting to format my sdcard with cwm. Just nothing happens anymore, but when i connect my dhd to my computer its indicated as device "qhsusb_dload", but i cant access it with adb or anything. Tried to foce install htc-drivers, but didnt help. Gonna take it to a local o2 store and check if there can be anything done bout it.
when i drained my battery fully to the point that it turns itself off, when i plugged it in it sort of looped into boot, but after i remove the charger and plugged it again, the red light turned on and i just left if for ten minutes, then pressed the power button then i turned on as normal.
i'm thinking it might be because the battery is just too drained at one point.

Guys
I had the same problem.
I charged aways the phone by the USB on my PC.
But this is a problem.
Try to charge for an Hour or two your usb original charger your phone.
My problem was that the battery was so empty that the PC USB coudn't had the power to charge it. The Original Charger CAN.
So dont wait more and put it and Charge.
Tell me if this was the resolution.
Bye bye

Does the screen turn on during boot at any point? Can you get into HBoot?
Ok so you will have to do this blindfolded literally. I hope you have a MICRO SD Card and MICRO SD Card reader or another phone or something to read the MICRO SD card
Download this http://dougpiston.com/files/RUU/bui...and-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip
First copy this image into the root of your SD Card and rename it to PB31IMG http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M5I1JA7H
Next, try to boot into HBOOT by holding Power and Volume down for about 8 seconds. Then wait about 2 minutes. Press Volume UP, then wait about 2 minutes more and press Volume UP again. If it worked you should feel your phone vibrating (if its in vibration). Finally pull out the battery to turn off your phone and put it back in after a few seconds.
Second Delete the PB31IMG file from your Micro SD Card, and replace it with the 'build-3.26.605.1-release-152016-baseband-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip'. Rename it to PB31IMG and place the SD Card in your phone. Now Press Volume Down and Power hold it for about 8 seconds. Wait about 5 minutes then press Volume UP. And your phone should be brought back to life !!!!

Thanks!!!!!!! Sinior for your help!!
i just made the registration to this page for say to Sinior thank you!!!!! my phone was bricked too, and with this helpfull tutorial i survived my phone again!!! thank you!!!!
First of all, I know I am an idiot - so let's get that out of the way right now!
So, I have been using Mik 2.6 for several months now and loved it. But my phone ear speaker shorted out or something, and all calls sound very tinny and "crunchy". Also, every so often when I take photos the lower half of the image gets funky (like over exposure from a real camera). So, I decided to just try and restore to factory and take it to Sprint tomorrow.
Using the RUU gave me a problem. I would get so far then it would tell me (when looking for bootloader) that the usb wasnt connected to the phone or the computer. When I got that error on the computer, the phone screen was just a black screen with larger HTC logo on it. Couldnt go anywhere from there. Unplugging the device gave me the recovery screen with RUU option selected. I had to take out the battery to reboot from there. I tried to reboot the phone in recovery mode and maybe try to get to bootloader menu THEN run RUU. When I did that, I would get the same error. But when I restarted the phone, it would not boot all the way, but get stuck with the wallpaper showing, the power guage, and the 3g bars. It would never go all the way to the time/unlock screen.
So, I tried to reboot into recovery again from there... the phone vibrated three times and shut down. Now, it is completely bricked. It will not turn on normally, or in any recovery mode. In fact, when I plug it in to recharge - the light doesn't even come on.
SO - am I completely screwed? Is there ANYTHING I can do? Any advice, anecodotes, well wishes... anything would be appreciated! Thanks!
Have you tried taking the battery out for 5 minutes, placing it back in, then back on the charger? That'll let the capacitors dissipate, and make sure the battery isn't super drained.
I did, and it worked - to the point where it will start up and get right to the point of giving me the lock screen - but not quite. I can see the wallpaper. I can see the 3G up and down, and the signal bars... and the time. In fact, I even used my wifes phone to call mine, and it rang. But it didnt give me a way to answer the call. So now I can see all of the above, and a missed call icon!
So, I can also restart in Bootloader mode. Should I plug into my computer and restart in Bootloader mode and start the RUU?
Try restoring to factory by flashing the PC36IMG way. It eliminates the USB causing issues
Support TrevE!!

Take the sd card out of the phone, mount to a pc via adapter, toss on the s-on zip, flash in recovery, or do the revolutionary method, depending on how you rooted, then do an RUU in PC36IMG form.
I would love to, but I cannot access the SD card right now. Trying to.

Well you'll need a micro usb adapter to place it in computer, and still can't be read?
- take off the back cover
- remove battery
- there will be a lil 'lip' tab on the right side where the sd card car, pull up on it, then pull out the sd card
Yeah, I got the card out. Will have to go out tomorrow and get the adapter.
I just wonder why my phone will not restart all the way. It is so close. I even see notifications! My wife just sent me a text message. Well, I will get back to this tomorrow. Thanks!

I didn't have luck finding an answer to this on the forums so I figured I'd make a new post. I have been running a version (not sure which) of Liquid Smooth for a few months. Yesterday, I noticed my phone was on a boot loop. It would vibrate, show the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen and then turn off. I pulled the battery and memory card and tried again. It still wouldn't come on. I pulled the battery and then rebooted to recovery mode. I went there to wipe and reboot. When I tried to do that it said something like, "what you are looking for can't be found". I pulled the battery again but this time when I tried to turn it back on it did nothing. I have no vibrations, I have nothing on my screen. I'm not sure what could have happened because I haven't made a change to my phone for quite some time. Any ideas?

You don't have a spare battery do you? If not, you should see if you can find someone you know that has one. It could be that you battery just went bad.

Wouldn't it mess up immediately after I rooted/added a custom ROM if I did something wrong rather than a few months later? I'm afraid that the phone may be done for. : (

I hate to say it, but usually when something like this happens it's most likely to be hardware related. If you don't have access to a spare, go to a T-Mobile store and ask to borrow a battery to see if it'll power up with a known good one. Batteries usually don't just die like that, but it can happen.
So you don't get a short vibe or anything out of it? What about when you hold the power button for about 10seconds? If you remove the battery and plug it in, do you get an led lit up? How about with the battery in?
If the battery turns out to be good, you could attempt the debrick method by KAsp3rd stickies in development. I don't see why it would be a brick, but at this point I'd try anything available just to be positive.
If you have insurance on it, it may be time to consider using it.
Sorry to hear this is happening to you man. These S3's are starting to get a little old though, and no matter how careful we are, they do suffer more abuse than any other electronics we may use. I'm seeing more and more posts like yours recently, I'm sorry to say.
Keep us updated on it, and good luck with it!
