[Q] Dinc stuck on white "htc Incredible" screen

I installed a new rom that I ended up not liking as much as I thought I would so I restored to the nandroid backup I had previously made. Now when I turn the phone on it gets stuck at the white "htc Incredible" screen. I have pulled the battery and can get into recovery but when I try to turn it on normally it does not work. Anybody know how I can fix this?

Go into recovery, which you say you can do, and try your nandroid restore again. If that fails, it may be a corrupt nandroid. Worst case, wipe clean and flash the previous ROM that you know works and rebuild your apps and data.

Thank you very much. I could not restore to the backup I had made and I never thought to just go back to the rom I had on the SD card. Thank you.

Not trying to threadjack here but I have mostly the same problem so I thought I would just add it here. I was flashed Ruby 2.02 ROM and was just setting things up when my phone rebooted it would not get past the htc incredible splash screen so I read to pull the battery and try to reboot into recovery. When I tried to reboot into recovery my phone just vibrated 3 times then went dead. Did my phone just get bricked or what? ANY help would be awesome!

Can you still get to recovery now? If so, you are probably ok.

I am able to get into recovery but if I try to reboot from there it is still stuck at the splash screen. I think my sd card is not working right now, so I am not able to flash anything. Is my only solution a factory reset?

You need to boot recovery, wipe and flash a known working rom and start completely over. You really need to get a working card.

Well I flashed one and the problem didn't change so I am now flashing an older one of a different ROM that I hope will work.

[Q] Need Help - No Startup after installing ROM/No recovery

Hi everyone.
After rooting my phone, disabling S, instaling Clockwork etc etc. managed to install a ROM while in recovery mode (Clockwork).
Now, when I boot up, I can leave it to boot and it will go past the HTC splash, into the loadup screen for my ROM (Cyanogen), but the load animation just loops.....
If i try boot into recovery.....It vibrates maybe 5 times and the green light stays on at the top where message notification is. It does nothing.
Is there a way to re flash from the PC? My phone is stuck in recovery usb and USB charge if thats of any use.
Thanks.

Well, Ive done a bit of research.
Ive tried re installing various ROMs including origionals.
Managed to boot it into clockwork recovery mode, and instead of re installing the backup I had, I created a new one.
I then figured out how to mount the SD card to my pc and installed a few more ROMs, but those havent worked either.
Currently have this installed;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842937
But it boots up witht he HTC logo, and then boots up with the quietly brilliant logo. Then it loops and plays the startup sound.
Im really Stuck please help.

And you have deleted the old one? And you didn't store a old backup on your PC?

Phone stuck on splash screen after trying to flash Synergy rom. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I flashed the "Synergy" rom and noticed that I didnt have the 3d carousel effect after letting the rom run for 2 days. I then noticed another download for the rom with the 3d effect. After flashing that rom I am now stuck on the splash screen. I can also no longer boot into recovery. I am able to access the bootloader but that's it. I cant access nothing on my phone.

Find it odd that you cannot get into Recovery. Are you pulling battery, then holding power and down key?

Yep... Ive pulled the battery several times, and tried accessing the recovery by holding power and the down button.. All it does is restart at the splash screen and stays..

Did you wipe prior to flashing ? Never had that issue so what happens when you click on recovery in the boot loader.

You said in the first post that you can access the boatloader, but in your next post, you say starting your phone with vol down and power takes you to your splash screen... this is an important piece of info for me/us to know in order to help, give advice.
If it goes to the boatloader, try reflashing a custom recovery. If it's going straight to your splash screen, that is a result of " fastboot" being enabled in the settings menu, and you're holding your phone wrong and have to wait longer ( up to 10 minutes) as it can take a while to build the dalvik cache and set up the symlinks.

Flash a custom recovery pc36img.zip in bootloader. When done boot into recovery and factory wipe. Then partition your sd with 1024mb ext2, move ext2 to ext3. Flash synergy and u should be good. Backup ur sdcard before partitioning it.

It's one of two things... bad wipe or user is just impatient and isn't used to the longer initial boot time of the sense 3.0 roms, so panic sets in after 2 minutes of boot

Ok here's my process fellas and this is whats happening (or not happening). Phone is stuck on the SPLASH screen. I can hold the volume down button and power and get into the bootloader. Here's what Ive tried so far thats not working for me. Trying to go into recovery through the bootloader takes me back to a stuck SPLASH screen. Ive installed a PC36IMG.zip (Custom recovery) and when the HBoot looks for the file it doesnt see it. The file doesnt have zip.zip as the extension and the MD5checksum was good on the file. When I installed the rom I did do a full wipe and when i hit restore it took me to my SPLASH screen and stayed there longer than 10 minutes. I flashed plenty of roms and this is the 1st time ive been at this point where im unable to boot my phone. I suspect the recovery is broken
and as of now, there is no other way (that i know of now) for me to load a custom one into my phone.
I also tried to push the file via adb and when entering the command adb shell, i get a device cannot be found message.
Hope this helps you guys help me.

I'm now having the same problem with my Thunderbolt. I need some major help. I can boot into bootloader, but not recovery because I have a p50IMG.zip on my sd card...so it just scans it and asks to install...how do I get it off of the card?

[Q] Help! Unlocked bootloader, installed CWM, now phone won't boot

I used the GN Toolkit V2.2 to unlock the bootloader, after installing the adb drivers via PDANet. I flashed Clockwork Mod on as well, and was going to install the Android Revolution ROM. I thought I had already copied the zip file to the internal storage, but when I tried to flash it from inside CWM, it said no files were found. (May have copied it before wiping device, I can't remember). So I restarted so I could copy the zip file again and then flash it. However when starting, it seemed to be stuck on the startup screen, with all the flashing blocks of color fading in and out. After a while stuck on there I couldn't do anything so I did a battery pull to restart. At this point, I can start normally or into recovery mode. If I try to start normally, (or go into recovery mode and choose restart from the submenu), it shows the black screen with the white Google logo, and the unlocked icon, stalls for a few seconds, then does a short vibrate and reloads the logo again. It will keep doing this and not go any further. I tried doing an additional data wipe from recovery mode but that didn't help, and I tried to do USB mount from recovery mode, hoping to copy the Revolution zip file and flash it over, but it couldn't mount. I'm starting to panic a little bit, did I brick or otherwise mess my phone up? What can I do? Any help is REALLY appreciated.
Thanks so much and I hope this is the right forum.

I dont have the answer but I wanted to post to calm you. This happens a lot.....multiple times to me on my android devices. You live and learn next time, do a backup in cwm before wiping data and flashing new stuff
Im sure someone will post shortly to solve your problem

Well ok that is reassuring thanks. I downloaded the Google factory ROM from the code.google.com and was able to flash that on my phone with GN Toolkit. It is trying to boot right now, still on the colorful screen. I think maybe I didn't give it enough time last time around? At least I'm past the black and white logo screen. So I'll let it sit for a few minutes and see what happens.
Edit: I let it run for a couple minutes, and it blacked the screen for a sec, showed the white Google logo again, and then went into the colorful startup screen again. I think it's working now so that's a relief.
If someone finds this thread in the future with a similar issue: Don't battery pull during start up and be patient if you don't want to freak yourself out haha. But as spitefulcheerio said, it will be okay so just don't panic. Thanks again.

Make sure you do a Factory Reset in STOCK recovery after unlocking the bootloader. THEN install CWM. learned that one the hard way. skipped a step after doing the oem unlock.

Yes, first time will take awhile on the boot animation.
And, as long as you see the google logo, you are ok, even if it freezes on that. They designed this phone to be easy

Guess all I needed was a psychological confidence boost, thanks for everyone for being supportive I thought I just threw a few hundred bucks away. But I got Revolution installed, phone and rooted and runs like a dream. Thanks all around!

To provide some technical details on why it takes longer the first boot and appears to "hang" at boot animation ...
During the boot animation, the /data/dalvik-cache directory is built up for each application loaded on the device. This occurs during the very first boot. If the /data partition is wiped, the dalvik-cache directory is also wiped and will have to be rebuilt on the first boot. All subsequent boots will be quicker as this directory has already been populated.
Whenever loading a new ROM or performing the fastboot oem unlock command, the /data partition is generally wiped which takes with it dalvik-cache and results in the delayed initial boot time while the dalvik-cache directory is re-populated.
Hope that makes sense and fills in a few blanks on the why Android appears to "hang" at the boot animation during first boot after the /data partition is erased or the /data/dalvik-cache directory is erased.

[Q] Boot Loop at Splash Screen

Phone was running great then I got a random reboot and now she boot loops at the splash screen. I tried going into bootloader and loading the recovery but it will not load. Just the same boot loop.
I even tried reloading a recovery from the SD card. It said it loaded fine but still loops. Any thoughts?
Any one have a stock splash screen that could load so when I take it in it at least says Sprint?

If you can get to the bootloader, then you might try an RUU. Latest is HERE. You'll wipe everything back to stock, if successful.
That would be my first step, at least.

How do I get the bootloader to read the RUU file? I change it to PC36IMG but it will not update.
