ok, phone was on charge, phone rang, went to answer, phone rebooted!. Left it but it stayed on 02 screen??.. Battery out, reboot - same thing!
Tried going into recovery but again it hangs on the o2 boot screen?
What the hell has happened?????
Was running DeFrost 3.6 with no problems!
Someone please tell me my phone is not kaput!!
First of all, pull off your sdcard.
Tried that - removed sdcard - still same.. o2 boot screen...
Can anyone help me please?? I cant even get into recovery to to a nandroid restore.. everything i try the phone just sits there on the o2 screen... is there a way to reflash an original rom incase i have to send it back???
I just dont undestand why answering the phone on charge i have ended up with a f**cked phone???
So i imagine you can see hboot screen.
You may try to flash a new recovery with unrevoked.
Yes i can see the Hboot screens.. i tried the unrevoked methos but it wont go any further than saying: waiting for device enable usb debugging... as the phone wont startup.
Vicious circle eh.. thanks for quick reply though..

What i was going to say .... if you cant get to the hboot screen well then bad times indeed
Extreme solution
If you can get the Hboot screen, as extreme solution, just copy in your SDcard (root directory)the file PB99IMG.zip or similar (I have no brand phone, maybe O2 requires a different file).
Be carefull, because this method will reset completely your phone. You will loose Root, every data, and you'll come back to the original branded phone.
You can search for this file at:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/
Download the zip file corresponding to your version and rename it in PB99IMG.zip
Put this file in the root directory of your sdcard, start the device in Hboot mode and it should start automatically!
I hope this can help you.
If anyone more expert has a better solution, please help him
No i CAN get into hboot screen.. i just have no idea as to what to do now???

Ok, i will lose root but will i be able to use the unrevoked method again??.. or am i completey screwed then as hboot will be too high etc...
I have put my goldcard in.. but just cant do anything
So...the alternative is to have a not working phone. In any case, Unrevoked or not, you should give it a try if you don't have other solutions. But I suggest you to read a lot of threads before you proceed... many similar experiences could help you to understand the procedure.
Yeah agreed.. would rather a working phone.. I have been looking at the bricked threads but they are not so easy to understand.. Appreciate the help though..

follow the hboot steps using the .zip file everthing will return to default so then you can use unrevoked to root you phone again #

Ok, i am completely stuck now.. I think i can repair the phone but i just have no idea how. I have trawled through bricked threads..just cant find a solution.
I think if i could get usb debugging enabled unrevoked might just work.
Using the cmd tool i can use enableqxdm 0 and it says okay - however unrevoked still does not see it as neither does my pc!
I have no idea how to restore my nandroid without getting into recovery???
I am unsure weather to flash the PB99img.zip as i have a branded phone and i am worried i will completely brick it!
Just so so lost....
Heres a tip though - dont answer your phone when its on charge!!!!

Can i use any of the PB99IMG.zips then as it was an o2 branded phone??? Or can i use the update.zip (is this the nandroid backup??) thats already on my sd card - have card reader so can mess about with that no probs..
I have just seen where it checks for the image afetr getting to Hboot so i understand what its looking for now... Question is what image do i use..
Really do appreciate all the help guys
Ok, i tried flashing one of the pb99img and i get a CID error (incorrect). It says this is because goldcard is not present but it is???? Is it because i am using a different standard rom to the one that was on the phone???
I give up for today - i gotta go to work. If i could get USB debugging to work i would probably be ok, but when i do the commands via cmd prompt it says okay but it doesnt seem to do anything!
My goldcard now seems like it doesnt want to be one, thus the cid error..
I am just going round in circles here..
Think i might just throw the damn thing out of a window - Its doing my head in!!!!!
All from answering the poxy phone whilst plugged in!!!!!
wow.. was hoping for a few replies.. guess no one has any ideas.. guess i am buggered then... ok so if i send the phone back to o2 - what is worse case scenario if they do see its flashed??.. will they just charge me for the fix or just not touch it at all??

I would suggest you put your SD card in your computer and verify the content. Or even better, I hope you have a backup of your SD Card after you rooted your phone. I think your partition may have gone, so you can't boot up anymore. Try to format your sd card, partition it with Gpartition or whatever prog you have and copy back the content of your SD Crad back up on your newly formated SD card. It should do the trick. The same happened to me when I changed my 8gb SD Card for a 16gb one.
Good luck and let me know how it works (or not).
forelli, in Darth Sidious mode.
The sd card seems ok in a card reader? I did do a backup a while back but i have a spare sd card so i will try that? Would the sd card problem stop me going into recovery though??? I thought that was phone based and not sd card based??
Hey guys here is what i did step by step. This is my first root and i researched this a good bit but i obviously didnt read enough ; ;
Phone info: droid i, slcd, froyo stock 2.2 with november update. i bought the phone a couple of weeks ago.
I followed rooting instructions found here
(couldnt post the url cause im a new user) its found on jonsuh dot com
1) Already preinstalled clockwork mod app
2) Installed Hboot driver.
3) ran new revoked3
4) root was successful and my phone booted up.
heres where its gets tricky.
5) ran clockwork mod.
6) selected back up (figured this would be a safe idea before i started adding roms)
7) it prompted me to install clockwork mod recovery file. i did so then clicked on backup again. my phone turned off rebooted to the HTC incredible screen then went to this black screen with white bars on each side of the phone.
Ideas on what might be the problem would be greatly appreciated.
So i just a battery pull and started my phone back up and it booted up.... epic fail/win
win: phone phone started
fail: i wrote this whole damn post out.
might be helpful for those who ran into the same problem rooting thier phone though.
i read somewhere i should use an older clockwork recovery file. is that correct? and if so, can some tell me one that will work with an SLCD phone?
You might check this out.
ok so i made another boo-boo. i tried to install the virtuous rom and i clicked on clear data and wipe cache and when the phone restarted it stopped at the htc screen which had a black bar across it.
i tried rebooting it a couple different ways but now bastboot is booting up to the htc incredible screen and just staying there... i hope i didnt brick my phone...
please help!
you have an slcd droid incredible and need the modded clockwork recovery from adreynlyne thats all http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788306
thats should take care of the recovery issues
do you know how to move the file to the root of my sd card? i dont have a micro sd card reader...
ok so i went out and bought a micro sd card reader. put the new renamed .zp file onto my sd card. went into hboot and it still says the pb31img.zip file is missing. any ideas?
i extracted the renamed zip file to my sd card. was that the right thing to do? or do i just put the unextracted file in there?
You are thinking too hard!
Plug your phone into your PC. Set it to be a disk drive and copy the file to the SD card. (It will have lots of directories and stuff.)
I am not 100% sure, but I think the file name might need to be in caps. It must be named exactly.
Turn your phone off.
Hold down the down volume button and turn it on.
Magic should happen.
got it working thanks to setexascustoms. had to install it then reinstall virtuous rom. lost all my contacts but im back up and running!
Hi guys,
I've just partitioned my SD CARD through ROM Manager. Partition of 512MB and 0MB of SWAP.
After that I turned on the Desire and Went to the rom manager and tried to Flash a ROM. - this went unsuccesfully because the ROM Manager could see my SD Card.
So, in the ROM MANAGER I pressed the thing that gets you into the recovery mode, and there when i was trying to flash the room, if could see the sd-card again.
I tryied to restore, but it said that it has nothing to restore(first of all i've just backed up before starting, and even before that I had tons of backups).
I gave up the restore and restarted my phone, which also went unsuccesfully.
I've got into a restart loop where the phone turnes up till the opening page, has a little time of black screen, and than again-opening screen.
PLEASE HELP ME. ANYONE???
EDIT: I have just connected the SD CARD to the computer through a card reader, and he is almost empty! It has only 2 folders: .android_secure, .footprints, Android, LOST.DIR
what should I do?!
Maybe some1 can upload here all his SDCARD content and by that i'll copy it into my, and maybe it will work again
EDIT #2: NOW I'CANT ENTER THE RECOVERY MOD AT ALL!!!
it just stuckes on the with screen showing the HTC sign.
A partition will delete the contents of a sd card you should of backed up you nandroid first.... go to recovery mode by holding vol down and pressing the power button while the device is off, and choose recovery from the menu, clear the dalvik cache and see if your device will boot

I pressed the"wipe dlavik chache" and nothing happend..
and now i can't enter the recovery mode at all. great.....

Sorry for the ignorance, but what RUU is?, I really didnt get your post
Before rooting it's advised to check the original ROM running on your phone and get a copy of that RUU (ROM Upgrade Utility) so you can always revert back to stock if things go wrong. I assume you don't know what your phone originally came on?
Unfortunately you are write.
So.. is there something for me to do?
check this link with all the official RUUs and download one that is from your region or download the generic World wide english one (WWE)
its a utility that runs on windows and installs a fresh official ROM on your device

dude and where is the link?

Try.
Try reformatting your sd card in windows first?
If you have ubuntu, you could use gparted to format it.
Or use another sd card.
Since you can access your sd card, download clockworkmod and the necessary files needed to root your phone, including a new rom. (I don't know how its like on windows as i use a mac so...)
Start the rooting process again using unrevoked. See if it starts up your phone.
If you can, flash the new rom.
Hopefully everything will work out.
P.S. What rom were you using before this happened and what version of rom manager were you using? Perhaps this might help other people.
First of all, I was using the newest version of ROM Manager and an Israeli ROM based on the LEEDROID.
but it all relays to the past, i got my phone back on track!!!
I found an old folder on my computer which included all my SDCARD content(I rememberd that i've backed up it on the pc once), so i copied everything to the SD, and than it let me into the recovery mod, and i had an old Nandroid backup.
EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW, THANKS EVERYBODY FOR TRYING!

I need help and in a bad way.
I tried rooting my phone tonight. I ran the latest version of unrevoked tonight and I can't seem to get off the boot menu that pops up. Everytime I hit Bootloader then Fastboot, I go back to the main menu. Recovery I get an error on the restart, clear storage does nothing, im scared to try simlock. Everything else doesn't do a thing for me. Any help would be amazing.
So your phone won't boot normally at all?
That is correct
The first thing I would try is in recovery make a back up (if it lets you). Then try restoring that recovery. If not I would download a ROM whatever you choose, I have the Redemption Rom 2.2. Put it on the root of your sd card, obviously you are going to have to do this on your PC with a card reader, or if you have another phone that you can put it in it and use the usb cable. Then in recovery go to flash zip from sd card and choose the ROM. This all assuming that everything in the recovery screen works. Hopefully this at least gets your phone booting up. If it does then you're golden and can always go back to stock whenever you choose.
I sounds to me like you can't even get into recovery so that isn't an option.. this is what you do. Download this RUU file. http://dougpiston.com/files/RUU/RUU_Incredible_C_Froyo_VERIZON_WWE_3.26.605.1_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_2k4k_NV_1.70_PRL58006_release_152016_signed.exe
Then open the RUU that you just downloaded. Normally you would run this with your phone booted but since that doesn't work. you need to do ctrl/alt/delete and get to start windows task manager. go to Processes, find and right-click adb.exe and find containing folder. This will bring you to were the "rom.zip" is help, pull that file and put it on your desktop. now, you can close the windows task manager, and the RUU. rename that file on your desktop from either "rom.zip" or "rom" to "PB31IMG.zip" or "PB31IMG" whichever your computer shows, just make sure not to put .zip.zip without knowing.
now, turn off phone, take off back and take out sd card, (hopefully you have an adapter, or another phone you can use? anything to hook it up to the computer since you can't with your phone?, and get that PB file on the SD Card, no folder just right on top and make sure it's formatted to Fat32. put it back in phone, hold vol down and power, let the phone do it's thing, and you're now un-rooted.
Here is the RUU as a PBIMG31.zip already. Just change name to PBIMG31.zip place it in the ROOT(in no subfolders) of your SD card then when HBOOT loads start the update and it should automatically go back to to stock.
PBIMG31.zip download
Thanks bradatz, that worked well

I've tried to search around the fourms but every seems to have rooted their phone. I never have, but it's been acting laggy and shutting itself off from time to time, I've had my Incredible for about a year and a half and just wanted to wipe it in hopes that it wouldnt shut off randomly and run faster but when i go into settings and into SD & Phone storage and do Factory data reset I end up getting stuck on a screen with a phone and a red triangle with an exclamation in the middle.
When that happens I can hold down the power button and the up volume button and try and restore from there but it always just loads my phone back up how it was, nothing gets wiped and it also puts it into auto roaming so I have to call and reprogram my phone with verizon.
Any ideas?

It sounds like either you have a custom recovery installed (rooted), or your stock recovery may be corrupt. First i would try to do a factory reset from hboot. To do that power off the phone pull the battery and reimsert. Then hold vol down and power till a white screen pops up. Then use the vol keys to navigate to factory reset and the power button to select. If that dosent work i would do an ruu. To do that download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip and place it on your sdcard in no folders, do not rename. Pull battery, replace, vol down and pwr to enter hboot. Hboot will automaticly find the file and prompt you to press vol up to update. Do so and then when propmted again press vol up to reboot. Once rebooted your phone should be like new.
Tried it in hboot and it seems to of only wiped half my stuff. Apps and everything are still there but it's almost as if they reset and are taking me through tutorials again and all my setting are back to default.
I'm downloading the ZIP file ya gave me now, i'll let ya know if that works. Thanks for your help!
Okay, took my SD card out of my phone to make sure i placed that file on it and not somewhere else, i did NOT unzip the file onto the SD card either, just simply copied and pasted the ZIP file onto the SD card, it's not in a folder either. Put the Sd card back in, turned phone off and entered hboot, hboot isn't prompting me to update though... any ideas? :\

Try backing up the sdcard to your pc. Then with the pc format the card fat32, and then put the files back on. If that still dosent work, you could do an ruu.exe with your pc. Install htc sync http://dinc.does-it.net/HTC-Sync/3.0.5606/setup_3.0.5606.exe, then download and run this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Image...0_Incredible_C_hboot_1.02.0000_4.08.605.2.exe, with the phone connected to the pc. Follow the steps provided and it should reflash the phone for you.
Okay I tried to do your second suggestion first but when i ran the program it said that the phone was not connected to my computer, and to check to make sure the USB was plugged in. It was though, it was in charge only, should i have set it on something else? I was literally watching it charge.
Then i reformatted my SD card, it did find the file and it tried to update with the file in hboot but it said it had failed because the version on my phone was older.
What a pain huh?

Having htc sync installed should give you the correct drivers. I think its suppose to be charge only mode, try it on sync mabey, worst it can do is say it cant find the phone again.
It probably said the version you were trying to install is older than the one already installed. What android version are you on again?

Moving to Q&A
says im using version 2.3.4
just tried the ruu again and put my phone in sync instead of charge only and htc sync and the ruu still say my phone isnt connected but my phone tells me it is.
The main reason I'm trying to factory restore is because none of my apps hold. I try and download new ones and they end up force closing and disappearing. Apps that I update do the same thing. My phone will keeps apps i've had if they update and disappear but they go right back to needing to be updated again. New apps just go away and if i try and redownload them they just disappear again.
