[Q] Video Camera restarts phone, GPS crashes - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Last year, I rooted my friend's Incredible and flashed Skyraider 3.0 on top. Since then, his video camera crashes the phone and his GPS doesn't work.
Last night, I decided to try to fix this once and for all. I flashed CM7 final onto it but the problem is still present. I've since reverted back to Sky Raider. I read that I should try to flash the new radio. The phone is currently running the original stock radio 1.00.03.04.06.
I downloaded the official OTA radio and put it on the root of the SD card. Unfortunately, when I boot into HBOOT I get an error stating "no image" when it tries to find the new radio zip file. S-OFF is currently present.
Any ideas on what could be preventing me from flashing the new radio? Is there a way for me to go back to complete stock and start over?
Thanks in advance

You're naming the .zip file correctly? It is on the root of the SD card named PB31IMG.ZIP?

Is the SD card formatted to fat32? And is the radio correctly named to PB31IMG.zip and not PB31IMG.zip.zip? Also, be sure to check the file integrity my comparing your MD5 sum with the one provided from where you downloaded it from.

[Q] my radio just doesn't want to update

Ok, I have read and then read again. Any help is appreciated.
Been trying to update the radio to 2.05 so I can run the latest link or any version of froyo without running unrevoked forever.
I flash PB31IMG and then dinc_ota. Every time I get to apply the update.zip it runs and eventually stops with something similar to the following:
"Can't apply radio"
(No room on device)
"Can't apply firmware"
(No room on device)
After that it reboots and my radio stays at 1.00.03.04.06 but the weird thing is that I have all of the new sense goodies, splash screen, gmail widget. But all the typical no camera, no wifi problems.
I did a full wipe and reformatted the sdcard.
Any ideas?

If you go into menu> settings> sd & phone storage, what do you show for internal phone storage and phone memory?

So I can't imagine that is the issue. I even bought a new sdcard and started over once.
Did you try downloading the file again in case it was corrupted?

Yeah, downloaded directly to phone with same result. Im going to try once more to download everything, reformat the card and start over. I might lose my patience and go the unrevoked forever route and try to go to the 2.15 radio. I have been hesitant to do that because I have worried I would have regrets sometime down the road. But on my omnia omnia I was constantly flashing a new rom, so I guess I will be fine!
Are you rooted?
[Using Aiccucs 2.2 Lite Edition v.4.2 ROM]
Nope. Did this the very first time from stock 2.1 not rooted with the same result listed above. The big goof I made that first time was that I did not do the full wipe first. So then I went back and did that, then had to flash the PB31IMG to get back to stock and get all the 2.2 sense stuff off and start over. I've done that a few times now. Also have rooted, then flashed a couple of older roms, unrooted and gone back to stock a few times. Surprised I haven't bricked the thing yet!
Last thing, when get to the recovery screen, the first thing that precedes any routine is
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
but I have read that is meaningless.
?
Make sure you have file extensions *not* hidden on your CP. If you do then the file you're trying to flash is called update.zip.zip when its suppose to be just update.zip
Sent from my Incredible.
The extension is correct. The update clearly applies except for the radio update. I get all the new 2.2 sense goodies and the new droid boot screen. The "Can't apply radio" error doesn't seem to prevent the 2.2 upgrade.
So I am more seriously considering the 2.15 radio option with unrevoked/forever. My question is if the same error will apply and do I have any more risk of bricking the phone using unrevoked?

Stuck on White HTC Evo 4g screen - Recovery Working - ROMS not

Hey all
So i searched and saw people with slightly similar issues, but not the same as mine.
I was hoping anybody could help.
I was having small issues with the rom i was running (CM) and decided to wipe all and go back to a nandroid i had of a previous ROM (Myn 2.2).
I wiped all through recovery and tried to load the Nandroid. It got stuck at the white HTC Evo 4g load screen.
I pulled battery. Went into recovery. Reloaded a seperate Nandroid backup (one that i had restored before with no issues) and had the same issue.
I then went back into recovery, wiped all, and did a fresh install of the Myn rom zip on my SD card (one that i had loaded before and knew was okay). Once again...stuck at the white loading screen.
So here i am. Recovery works, but i absolutely cannot get any ROM's or Nandroid backups to work after restoring/installing. Constantly stuck at the white screen.
Any ideas? I've flashed my phone a million times and this is the first time this is happening.
Thanks in advance everyone.
okay, quick follow up.
I reflashed CM6 and am able to load ONLY CM.
Seems really weird to me. Any ideas why I am unable to get back to other ROMs? I did recently update to the most recent Radio...that's the only physical change to my phone that i made that i can think of.
Thanks again. At least i have a working phone.
I had this issue, RLS4 is based on the 3.30 release. I had to downgrade my NV, PRI, Radio and WiMax to get it running.
You can grab all of these here:

EDIT: Make sure you flash one zip at a time here. I'm not certain if it's okay to do them all at the same time, but I generally hear that can cause issues. It'll ask you to reboot after each one. If you use Amon RA, it'll just reboot into recovery again, not sure about Clockwork.
I was also surprised that my nandroid backups of Myn's from before I flashed 3.70 software update didn't work/revert my software back to 3.30.

I downloaded these ones and flashed them in this order. Each time I'd try to install the ROM after flashing. I didn't successfully flash until after the NV. If I was a good troubleshooter, I would've tried to narrow it down here. Sorry, I'm not sure if it's necessary to downgrade one or all.
EVO_WiMAX_26023_R01
EVO_Radio_2.15.00.09.01
EVO_PRI_1.77_003
EVO_NV_1.77_003
I didn't mess with HBOOT, I was able to install the ROM after I flashed the NV.
I have a same problem
stuck on the white screen, triyed to run the pc36img.zip and its says no image
then I went to recovery it only allows me to run a zip file...What can run as zip
file to get this to load my rom and I dot have nanroid either...
Any help/advise is apprciated!!

[Q] Can't boot Myn's RLS5...

I'm coming from CM 6.1.2 and have done everything correctly to a freaking T. Has anyone had any problems getting stuck at the Splash screen and getting passed it? I can flash any other Sense ROM just fine but Myn's always gets hung at the Splash screen no matter what radios, kernels, PRIs, etc... Getting frustrated. I spent like six hours yesterday trying to get it to boot.
What recovery are you using? and do you have the newest update from Sprint (radio, prl)
Newest RA... I have every new radio, PRI, NV, Wimax...
Did you wipe everything more than once before flashing the Rom?
I wiped everything via Amon's built in options and Calk's format all .zip.
Did you have any problems updating with Calk's format all .zip?
As long as I'm flashing something other that RLS5 it works great.
Re- download Myn's Rom again. I know it sounds crazy but the download must be corrupted.
Done that, too... It flashed fine on my friends newly rooted EVO. I know that download wasn't bad because we used the same one. Thinking about running an RUU and starting over.
The best one will be the Sprint lover ROM as pcm36img.
I'd have to use that since I run Linux... don't know of an RUU that works on Ubuntu.
okay. report back if it work for you.
DO you know of a root method I won't need to hook my phone up to my computer with? I kinda don't have my cable with me at the office.
rom is already rooted.you can download it to you're phone, weather you are on wifi or 3g/4g.
And are you rooted?
No... if I run a RUU I won't be rooted anymore.
Nope! You will not loose root!.try it out, thank me later
I don't see what harm it could cause... I'm DLing the one you posted in that other thread.
Report back.
Make sure that the file is a pcm36 img.zip and that its in you're sd card.

not charging and stuck with 2.1

Hi
I hope someone can help. I was trying to install kings 7.2 rom on my evo. It was already rooted and running a custom rom. During the install it failed. When I rebooted S was on. I think had to find an old ruu image 2.1 to install. Now the phone will not charge and I have lost custom recovery.
What can i do?
My mac and my pc do not see the phone.
I have tried several different pc36img files and all they each fail.
the phone sometimes vibrates 5 times on reboot.
sprint also told me there is no 2.3 update.
Thanks
do you have an sd card reader
can you just root it again, and start from scratch?
dont see how flash a custom rom can unroot you unless you flashed a ruu by mistake, but all of kings roms are named so that you cant mistake them for ruu's lol
it was a kings rom from one of those multiupload sites, but i may have made a bad copy to the sd card.
i have an sd card reader but the phone is not successfully installing any pc36img files.
sprint has agreed to send me a replacement phone. i might be screwed if it has the newest rom already in it and now way to root.

sprint will most likely give you a refurbished phone, whether or not it has the gingerbread update is up in the air. another guy in another post got one and it was 2.2 so you never know, might have a bad sd card, can you get into the bootloader? just the PC36IMG.zips wont update? if you can and the PC36IMG.zips are moving to sd card but not running like they should be (bootloader loads, reads, asks if you want to update, ask to reboot) then your either getting wrong PC36IMG.zip or something is getting lost on the way to your sd card.

TMOUS-G2 Data not working *Error*

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with my Data connection on my Tmobile-G2 after flashing new custom rom from stock.
My internet connection seems fine but even after a fresh flash I still cannot use my data. It seems to be a problem with a setting of some sort seeing as on 3 different ROMs this is happening. On the top i see my full H perfectly stable, and even in settings showing working data. But when opening apps I see "error - connection timed out)
(Could someone direct me with exactly how to flash a new radio, PC10IMG.zip on SD card and going into bootloader doesn't work, it simply says image/file not found. I have put the "PC10IMG.zip" into the root of my SD but on bootloader it does not recognize it. I've put both the .img file and zip filed renamed to "PC10IMG.zip" and "PC10IMG" and none of those variations work)
Current Radio : -12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M-
Currently on Virtuous Sense v2.0.0 (MD5:b11fa8b0aaf14221f259a88efcfef978)
which is the best radio for TMOUS g2? I haven't gotten a chance to try.
Cheers, any help greatly appreciated.
If you poke around in the development forum for the G2, you can find guides for all of those things you are asking about! I'd post a few links I know where to find instantly, but alas I am on my phone.
Did you do a complete wipe of your phone through recovery before flashing that custom rom from stock? That may be your only problem there. Hopefully you did a nandroid backup - if so, revert to it in CWM and check that everything works.

Everything works correctly now, reflashed everything from scratch and went to the store to get a new sim card. I just wished someone helped me with my radio flashing problem. Oh well, thanks for the post.
