Tried vol down and power? Will boot into bootloader.
Your phone isn't bricked. Its in debug mode. Pull battery and do volume down + power to see if you can get into the bootloader, if you can you aren't bricked, load up an RUU and you should be good.

Did you try a battery pull? Try that and then volume down and power.

Yes if you have an SLCD this is your problem. When you downgrade to 2.1 you have no drivers for your screen. Pull the battery, hold down and then hit power. Set your phone down for 10 minutes or until hboot loads. Make sure that you have this PB31IMG.zip in the root of your sd and then upgrade it. It took a while for my hboot to load. So give it some time. If that doesn't work try booting with trackball and power.
How do I know what kind of screen I have?
and where do i get an ruu?
Good luck with this one guys... lol. I commend you!

This is the ruu EXE. I dont know quite whether it works for SLCD, but its a resource.
If you recover by loading the PB31IMG in hboot, you'll need to also format your SD card to FAT32 if it isn't already. Might be a slight point of contention if you don't have a USB card reader or another device which can interface the card with a PC.
Might be easiest to run the RUU on a Windows computer. Link above looks perfect, it's the latest.
Download to PC, hook up phone via USB cable and lanuch the RUU program then follow instructs. I despise HTC Sync but in this case, might be easiest to go ahead and load it to your PC before you run the RUU. It'll allow the RUU to function properly (all this all assumes Windows). I'd delete HTC Sync when done if it were me. It can be problematic in other regards.
I am 99% sure that the phone dosent boot past hboot... so the above method wont work correct?
The 2 ways to do it are:
1.) go into hboot and have the PB31IMG already on your SD card. Once in hboot, it should recognize the PB31IMG and you press volume up to load. However, as mentioned it'll likely fail if you have not formatted your card to FAT32 at some point.
2.) Forget about hboot. Pull your batt, replace it and start the phone even though you can't see what's up. You should feel it vibe and in reality it's working, you just can't see anything on the screen due to the lack of drivers as previously mentioned. So hook up phone to USB port on PC and with HTC Sync installed, launch the RUU you downloaded from 3 posts up. It runs on Windows and loads the software to the phone via the USB charging cable.
I have grown tired of these downgrade posts on multiple forums. Instead of writing a "how to" in 50 posts I have made one
You downgraded, welcome to the land of suck.
And OP you phone does boot and works quite well minus the screen. To prove the point boot it up and call it.
OP,
Go with Doug's link. Great description and is using the same files already posted here. Just much better instructs to follow.
Alright thanks trying that now

the ruu didnt work error 117... would it help if i uses xp?
Do you have SLCD or Amoled screen? Also, if you used 3.22 you might have to get your own recovery. Download ROM manager from the market and install Clockwork Mod.
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
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
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,

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
Hi i was wondering if anyone can help me?
I was trying to flash my desire (which is rooted) back to stock rom when my pc crashed, now my desire wont turn back on.
I have tried to put it into recovery with power button and volume down but all it does is vibrate once and thats it.
If i plug in the charger and take the battery out the led flashes orange and green, but when i put the battery back in it goes to a solid green which i persume means its fully charged, then when i try to go into recovery again the led goes out and i am back to where i started e.g a dead Desire
Can i make a Goldcard to fix this problem on my pc without using my phone or is that out of the question?
The phone is out of warranty
Please help if possible
Regards mimic

Based on what you have said, your recovery and backup is TU. Without a recovery menu, I suspect, not a lot of folks can help you.
I suppose that if you connect USB to the PC, it gives you Device not found?
If so..... I would say installing the Android Development Kit/Package,
See if it recognizes and you can use it to do things.
If not..... you're Fubarred...
how do i use the android package?
Yes i tried plugging it into the pc and it doesnt find the phone
Do you think there will be anywhere were i will be able to get it fixed and at what cost?
If the cost is too much i will just bin the phone and save up for another

ok i plugged it back into the pc and looked in device manager and android usb devices has come up which is showing my HTC
any ideas?
I really appreciate all the help thankyou
Holy sheepskin, you have a USB connection.
Sorry for the batman cliche.....
If you have a usb connection, I would say to flash an RUU back to stock.
Usually this means, you have to have HTC sync instaled...
Bump to smbdy who can direct this person to a stock RUU file...Too many beers.... running on auto-pilot now
I tried running this stock rom which is the 3 network...RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.20.771.3_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124822
But it says phone not found???
Below is a screenshot of device manager
Not a problem, no thanks necessary, unless we fix the issue.
Ok, so, we have determined, that your PC, can see the phone, at least through device manager.
Next, can you view the contents of the SD card through Windows Explorer?
If so, make sure HTC is installed correctly., just a precaution, look for any warnings in device manager.
I assume, you have not rooted or installed a custom ROM?
If not, with HTC running, you should be able to double click the ROM...XXXXXXXX.exe, and it should connect with the phone, and install... Unless you have the incorrect ROM.
CRAP, you have a Desire, so you should make a "Gold Card" from your SD.
i cannot see the memory card in windows explorer,
my neighbour says he did root the phone and it had a custom rom on it called djdroid or something like that.
I started HTC Sync and it says no device connected
every time i try and install the rom it starts going through the process lioke erasing data and updating signature then it stops and says ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR??
I have tried the WWE rom and the H3G rom but they both come back with an error
Have i got the right rom?? If not could you please tell me which one to get
ps.. how can i make a gold card if i cant boot my phone and will this be able to get my phone up and running?

I've seen threads like this but not quite the same. I'm trying to help fix my bosses Evo. I have the MT4G, so it's similar; still HTC but I guess the rooting methods or different. I'm trying to help him unroot now to sell it, but he's bricked it pretty badly. The phone will only boot into the bootloader. I put the PC36IMG file on the sd card, and it seems to start to flash that then freezes after counting up to [9] WIMAX.
If any of this is familiar to you guys, I would appreciate very much some assistance. I can't get anywhere but the bootloader, and it starts doing its own thing right away, so I guess my options are to somehow adjust the SD card using my PC. Thoughts? Thanks guys!

No big deal then, definitely not bricked...
Remove the SD Card from the phone, put the battery back in, boot back up to boot loader, plug the phone into the PC, (You might have to install HTC Sync for this) Then press the power button on the "FASTBOOT" option. Then run this exe: http://u.115.com/file/t541677279 <--- same link as the RUU EXE here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874091&highlight=stock+ruu
It's the RUU for the 3.70 update for the phone. it will return it to stock, reload the entire phone to that update, which is 2.10 hboot, and 3.70 software.
That's great news. I'll try right when I get home from work and report back in a few hours. Thank you very much!
unknownforce beat me to it yeah do what he says and have you which pc36img file did you try the amon ra right?
Hmmm... it won't seem to respond to me pressing the power button to choose options. I know the power button isn't physically broken, since the phone still powers on using it. But I've got the files you linked to downloaded and on the sd card and HTC sync installed, when I boot up it begins loading then wants me to make a selection, but I can't make any adjustments.
Okay, I've gotten past that (I had the wrong file.) Now I have the correct file, but I'm back to where it pulls up a list of things like Bootloader, Radiom Boot, Recovery, System, etc... and ends with Wimax. Then it just stalls. Because it won't boot up HTC Sync doesn't recognize it. Any suggestions?
EDIT: Forgot to mention that this phone is not finding the PC36DIAG file. I don't know if that means anything... but several hours of trying and I'm feeling like giving up.
Hey guys, pretty much what the title of the thread says. I try to unroot my phone via the HTC sync root, and when I click on the RUU to downgrade the phone, it instantly connects and I get an error message telling me to connect the phone.
Does anyone know how to cure this? It's been driving me crazy for ages now, wish I never rooted my phone in the first place!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks...
Lol rooting is better than that stock crap from htc.
If it's disconnecting maybe reinstall the drivers. Pretty sure there is another thread around here somewhere.
Swyped...
You can also run the RUU when the phone is in fastboot. Turn the phone off, turn it on again holding the back button and when on the white fastboot screen connect to the PC and run the RUU again

To get a froyo desire branded by t-mobile you have to run a special method:
Download these two files:
CustomRUU
2.12.110.2-1.21.110.4_release3uop1mw9unpc376h.zip
1.) Move the ota on your sd card and rename it into "update.zip"
2.) Run the installer. It extracts all needed files into a folder of your choice.
3.) Installer should start script automatically. If not, run "installer.bat" manually.
4.) Follow the instructions to the end.
5.) You are now in fastboot mode. Press power button to get into hboot.
6.) Choose recovery and enter with power button.
7.) If the red triangle shows up, hold volume up button and press power button. Now choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip"
When this operation is finished, you have a desire branded by t-mobile running froyo rom.
Sometimes the phone crashes when you install apps from the market. To fix this do the following:
1.) Turn off the phone
2.) Boot phone into hboot (start it with pressed volume down and power button)
3.) Navigate to "CLEAR STORAGE" and enter it.
This comment wipes the phone (so you loose all data) and resets all settings. After a reboot the market should work.

You have to use an sd card to get your working again, as far as i know.
Even if you want to run a stock froyo rom without any branding, you have to create a goldcard with linux and putting it in your phone, before you can run the ruu linked by eddyos.
And by the way, micro sd card readers aren't that expensive.
