Hello everyone,
I have just bought a Droid Incredible off of ebay. The seller said it was in mint condition and that there were no problems at all. When it arrived, it was in perfect condition. However, upon activating the phone, it would not stay on for more than 10 minutes. It just keeps rebooting itself. Also, while it is up, it does not always maintain a signal, and then it usually reboots a couple minutes after that.
It is not rooted, all of it is stock. I have been trying to find an answer for this problem all over the internet but to no avail.
I have read that where this phone is from (North Carolina) there was a lot of people with the same problem as this one.
It is the amoled version, hboot .92 and the baseband is the most recent at 2.15.00.7.28
I have tried factory resets, battery pulls, new battery, reflashing the RUU. I am at a complete loss.
Any help would be great, because I want to love this phone. I am sick of my slow Eris and this was my solution.
Thanks so much in advanced.
After some troubleshooting, I have noticed that it only occurs when the 3G service is turned on.
Any thoughts?
Have you tried a different radio?

I'm not sure what the problem is. FYI, that's not a bootloop. A bootloop is when the phone continuously boots, but never all the way to be usable, such as to the quietly brilliant screen and then starts again.
Also, I would bring it in to Verizon. See if they'll replace it.

I totally agree. If its not rooted and you've had Verizon for a bit they really should help you out. Honestly Verizon has always worked with me and been very helpful.

I tried flashing some of the leaked ones in HBOOT, but they wouldn't load. Can you point me in the direction of where I can find how to properly do this?

I tried, but I bought it from a third party, and they immediately ignored me/ tried to talk me into a thunderbolt. I guess my 10 years of Verizon isn't good enough.

Check over on incredibleforums for the radios. Wont let me post the link :/
Try bumping to an older one or the new leaked one. Not sure if those will screw with an amoled tho, can someone else clarify?

I posted over there too. But actually, I am now starting to rethink that it is the 3G radios. I could've sworn this was a software issue, but it just rebooted on me while I had 3G turned off.
I guess this ebay seller really did lie to me. Well thanks for your help guys, I don't know if I should bother trying to fix this. I guess I should just hope for the seller to respond. Its been almost a week...
Same exact thing is happening to my buddy's phone. I rooted it and put CM7 on it and it was still rebooting.
I had to turn S-ON back on and downgrade back to stock so he can return it to Verizon.

This is exactly what is happening to me right now. It lets me "touch the android to begin," then it reboots. I bought it off ebay and it was an unused cpo. Looks like I'll have to return it. Hey, since I bought it from somebody off ebay, should I worry about turning S-ON and going stock??

You only have to turn S-ON and go stock if you're returning it to Verizon.
http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...s/5723-how-get-back-complete-stock-s-off.html
That's the guide I used. Works perfectly. Order of operations is:
0) make sure sd card is formatted to FAT32
1) check your radio version
2) downgrade radio if necessary
3) flash s-on
4) install RRU through HBOOT
Have you tried other ROMs with other kernals? Just shooting in the dark, here; would hate for you to just be stuck!

I can't even successfully root/s-off the phone. It reboots while its being rooted (and not the reboots that are supposed to occur) and it fails.
I have tried everything. I used to be adamant that it was a software issue, but after yesterday, I am beginning to think that it might just be hardware.
Anyone have any experience with getting their money back from ebay/paypal?
But seriously guys, I can't thank you enough for all of your ideas and help. I really appreciate it. Hopefully I can join you guys with the Droid Incredible one day.
PayPal is pretty good about protecting the buyer, as long as it hasn't been too long since the transaction. I would contact the seller and inform him of the problem, then contact PayPal and explain the situation.

I've contacted the seller the day I received it, asking for a refund. I then also contacted the seller two days later. A day after that, still not hearing anything, I opened an eBay case. Now eBay tells me I must wait until the 6th to escalate the case any further.
This is such a hassle, I just want my money back. Part of me wants to just get a HTC Flyer and just tether my Eris to it.

My inc did the same thing. After about ten tries I got it to root (mine too rebooted during the process before it was supposed to). But no rom, kernal, or anything else stopped the reboots. My seller said to return it for a full refund.
Ebay is pretty good at taking care of you. Last year I bought a phone and the seller bailed on me. About a week after I opened a case I had a full refund in my paypal account. Good luck!

Sounds like you're in refurb hell. What you're describing is a classic hardware failure, likely the radio.
If it is a radio failure just flash the latest radio in hboot. The radio post is here in this forum some where just search in the android development or in the question section..sucks you needed refurbIshed phones..did they give you the lcd screen??

Flashing a different baseband isn't going to accomplish anything other than wasting time and effort. As I have stated, what the OP has described is symptomatic of hardware failure. Assuming that it is the radio, the one and only way for anyone to fix it would be disassembling the phone and replacing the radio.
Try plugging in the usb to your charger. ...then do a soft boot
Since people continue to post the same question over and over, I just went to another post to copy and paste my standard response:
jdmba said:
I can advise from personal experience on your symptoms that you have one choice ... Return to verizon for a refurb. This is what happens when you have an early incredible with a faulty hardware radio. It gets to the point where it starts trying to compensate and super heats. You must return.
Every other suggestion would be a mask to an existing well known hardware problem.

Hi There!
I was using MIUI and noticed my battery life draining quickly, Like, charge it to 100, then restart, then it would just restart with a 13% charge. So I reverted to an old backup that I had based off of the stock sense. Still had the battery problem. So I went into recovery and hit "clear storage" and that sent me into an infinite boot loop. Ah!! lol. I can't even get to recovery. It's only flashing the incredible screen, or if I hold down on the volume, it flickers recovery but I cna't actually do anything, because it's flickering on and off.
Any idea how to fix this?
lol
Thanks!!
Hopefully your situation doesn't turn out as badly as mine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115276
I would suggest this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12828082#post12828082
But, be cautious.
Thanks for the reply! I took it over the verizon store and they are sending a replacement. They really don't ask a lot of questions with total equipment coverage, lol. I'll bookmark those thread though in case it happens again!
You're sending it on rooted?
Sent from my DROID2 using Tapatalk
I don't really have a choice. What are they going to do, charge me for it?
I was getting bootloops that wouldn't let me past hboot so i couldn't unroot. Took it to a friend that works at a verizon call center. Asked his friend in the refurb dept and he told me if they cant flash their software they'll check for root 100% of the time and charge you. So i did asurion.
I know i know "my friends brothers uncles roommates ex girlfriends dad said.. " but he's always been right before. Not worth a $300 fee

Do you happen to know how I can get my phone back to non rooted status without being able to boot it(bootloops).
If I did I would still have my Inc1. I loved that phone.
So no I dont. Best bet is to get the Inc 2 and either sell it or wait for the root which should be coming soon

Ok I have never rooted my phone, and never deviated from the stock android ROM. About a week ago my wifi randomly stopped working.
When I go to turn it on it simply says error, and rebooting it does not help.
I tried a factory reset and it did help, temporarily, but after powering the phone off and back on the next day it stopped working again!
This makes me think it is in fact a hardware problem. I also just recently upgraded to 2.3.4, but I'm almost certain this was happening before then. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Anyone know if Verizon will help me if I take it in? I do not have insurance (big mistake!)
Any help is greatly appreciated, I have read TONS of threads and cant find any info on this, besides from people who had modified roms.
Thanks in advanced!
On a vanilla (virgin) dInc, I'd say you are in fact facing a hardware issue. Have you tested with another WIFI connection manager app?
Search for "Wifi Manager" in the market, it's worked well for me in the past.
Awesome! Thanks so much man, Wifi manager did the trick! Very strange that it wouldn't work with the default wifi app, but I'm happy either way.
You made my day!
Looks like I spoke too soon...
It worked for about three minutes then it shut off. This seems so strange!
Any other ideas?
Are you running any sort of power management apps? Many of those will auto shut off your WiFi to save power.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
No I'm not, but funny you mention that because when I was (before my factory reset) I think thats when these issues first started.
I'm definitely not running any right now though.
Probably just a coincidence, but yea. Any ideas from anyone? I just bought the Seidio 3500mah battery! Would be a shame if the wifi is broken
Try rolling back to 2.2 via htc sync and the 2.2 ruu package. See if you still get the problem on 2.2, if not, stick with 2.2 or invoke the 2.3.4 update again (dialer *#*#checkin#*#*) and test again after the update. This should without further question determine whether there is a hardware problem or not.
Also, although unlikely, maybe your new battery is causing interference.
Try your best to test all of the basic variables before giving up.

You can't downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.2. If what you say is true, then some rooted users who unrooted for the update with s-on need to know about this.
Not to be off topic, but do you someone who successfully did this?
how long have you had it if it is less than a year then htc will take care of you if it is over a year verizon might be talked into giving you an upgrade early. only way to know for sure is to go into verizon and see...

Thank you very much everyone for your suggestions. I tried everything but downgrading to 2.2 since I didn't know how. However I'm happy to report that my WiFi is now working again and I did nothing.
Well besides buying a new battery! I replaced my oem battery that I bought off amazon with a siedo 3500mah so not only am I getting insane battery life, but it made ky WiFi work!
I should have mentioned that my charge was averaging just three to four hours on my old battery. Maybe it was defective and not powerful enough to run WiFi?
I really don't know, but do hope that if someone is on my same position they find this thread helpful. Thanks again to everyone, these are very kind forums!

I've been having this issue also, it keeps getting worse. It seems like something is not getting cleared because after a clean wipe/flash everything is fine. Then as time goes on it starts happening again. I thought it might just be a rogue app, so I didn't install or restore anything and it eventually freezes. I think it may be a JB issue because I've seen people with other phones post about it as well. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this.

It's really going to come down to store interpretation of the rules. Yeah, there are so many variables that could come with the rooting process itself it's also so unlikely to be the problem. The commonality of bad electronics is so, well....common and this does sound so hardware-ish. I'm absolutely certain some other store would have been jerks about it just because the store happened to hire jerks. Sounds like they get good people. I'd say write them a nice email. Try to add the guy's name in. At least help him get a better raise or something for his effort.

Thank you for clearing this up. I'm with you on the hardware issue though, because if it freezes up for the basic scrolling then there is something wrong. Plus if it gets that hot that quick without much usage there is obviously something wrong.
My LCD went out and I had to go to 3 different Sprint stores just to get it fixed..
I hope it's not hardware related. This is the second phone that has done it and it takes about a month each time for the issue to show up. That could be a manufacturing defect, but it seems so rare and random.

He would have if it didnt get to hot while he used it. While he was checking for normal freezing problems, it froze on him, and then right before he was about to factory reset it, he said he would just order a new one. He showed the other tech how hot it was and was amazed. It froze just from opening an app and scrolling,
and got hot with 3G turned on and the phone just sitting there. I've always used stock rooted, never flashed new kernel or anything. I think he might have noticed and just let it slide, because as I said before, I have been coming in since 2010 with legitimate reasons to replace phones. I just odin'd my phone after triangle away so it looks completely stock. Before that I backed up all my files with my backup, and when I get the new phone, I will just root it and restore. I'm lucky though. I told him that I have tried many factory resets and even the Odin ones where it wipes the internal memory and it still does it (which is true, I have). When I take it in, I could have acted dumb and said NY friend did that rooting so he could silences my camera blah blah, but I like to be honest.

Just make sure you reset the flash counter and Odin it after you backup all the files you will need.

I always try to do that. Every time I go in, the techs are so nice. They say sprint may call and text me about my store experience and they ask will you say you had a good one, and I always say I definitely will, but I never get that call or text. Didn't know you could email, so I will definitely do that now! Like I said, I have been where stores hire jerks, and tech wise, they have always been kind and willing to help. Maybe its because I'm straight forward with them, maybe not. If he would have asked if I rooted it I would have said yes. Thank you for the idea.

So the charging port on my INC2 finally went yesterday and I am now relying on the extra batteries they gave me when I had the phone replaced for various other issues to get me through until 3 PM tomorrow (16 hours). I called Verizon and they told me they'd send out a new INC 2, however they are no longer in stock, so they are sending me a FREE Incredible 4G, and LETTING ME KEEP MY UNLIMITED DATA. So guys, if you are looking for a 4g phone and trying to keep your unlimited data, now is the time to have a phone issue. After about an hour of describing the problem with my phone and all the things I had tried to fix it (different charging cords, different batteries, different outlets, etc.) they offered me the new phone and told me they wouldn't put me through the hassle of doing all the resets.
I have a few questions for you guys before I leave. 1) Do I have to return to stock before I return the phone and if so, does anyone have a link to (in their opinion) the easiest set of instructions to return to full stock, S-ON and unrooted? 2) I, for some reason, have no data access, nor do I have Wi-Fi (I'm on a campus with an oddly protected Wi-Fi, would be a lot of trouble to set it up), so could somebody upload the .apk for an app that I can use to backup and restore my text messages and picture messages? Most only do text messages, but I'd like to backup both, so if you know of any off the top of your head, either let me know and I'll hunt, or upload them if they're easily available to you. 3) I'd like to thank all of the devs that made this phone usable over the past year or two. I've been a lurker for the most part, but love the work you guys do and hope you guys keep it up with whatever phone you move on to.
Just return the phone to stock no need to go back to s-on, I've heard some people talking about sending their phones back in and they'll take it as long as it's running stock firmware :thumbup:
Traded in my og inc for an inc2 back in the day and I sent my inc in s-off and nothing bad happened. Just return to stock before you send it in

I have both insurance on my phone and the warranty. I am sending it back today or tomorrow, I still need packing tape (University doesn't offer it free).

Thank you, I will leave it s-off, but on the P32IMG.zip rom.
So I went to transfer files to the phone and found that I cannot, due to the fact that the charging port doesn't work. Any tips?
