[Q] Help: Did I brick my Incredible?

So i rooted my incredible and tried to install a theme from the ROM manager i think it was called and when it went to reboot it just went to a black screen with a white stripe down each side and now i cant get passed that point even if i hit factory restore in the s-off menu thing. i am very new to this stuff so i am an idiot for just jumping in but if anyone has any ideas on what i could do it would be much appreciated. HTC Incredible on 2.2 rooted.
thanks

Turn your phone off then back on normally. I think someone mentioned once that this happens with newer DINCs i may be wrong but i believe that may help

ok so i tried just turning it on normally and it goes to the HTC incredible screen and then it turned off again and turned back on by itself and after the HTC incredible screen for a second time it just goes back to the black screen with the two stripes down the sides again

The newer Incredibles have an SLCD screen, the originals have AMOLED screens. From what I understand, they use different display/touch drivers. Not really a "bug" but I'm sure it bugs a lot of people... Did you just recently get it?

Have the same problem **sorta**
Ok new incredible as of the last friday. Unrevoked 3 worked until it hit the rom selection. Rebooted into recovery & thats where I get the black screen with the 2 lines & cant select anything. Pulling the battery will reset it and I'm able to boot but I still cant get the ROM to install.
Any suggestions

Search is your friend. You have a SLCD screen. Since your phone has different hardware, it requires compatible software.

PM'd cause i cant post links cause im still a noob

If you haven't fixed it yet you can search in the Q&A section for black screen and get instructions for a complete restore to the day you got it. The SLCD thing got me too.

This is exactly my problem...then I reflashed with pb31img. Now all it does is turn the charge light on...
How did you get it fixed.
I don't know if my phone is slcd or amoled....almost sure its AMOLED

the way i fixed it is on this thread......http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...t-after-incredible-boot-screen.html#post56442

black camera

a friend of mine has an EVO 4G, hardware 004, it has been working fine until a few weeks ago when his camera showed a BLACK screen when you clicked on the camera app. he was rooted running SPRINT LOVERS 2.2 rom. Well, we couldnt get the camera working so we did a hard reset and flashed MIKROM 3.0... camera was now working great..... TODAY. the camera is showing a black screen again. you dont even get any of the buttons in the camera app but you can press the home screen to get out (no force quit or anything).
any ideas how to fix this without another hard reset?

The best advice is to try another rom, specifically a stock sprint rom. If it still doesn't work, or works sporadically, its likely a hardware problem with the camera itself.

It sounds like a hardware issue to me I had the same problem an had to get it replaced.don't quote me these guys ate pretty smart but I couldn't get mine fixed

Sounds like the camera hardware maybe staring to fail or has become loose from the board next time it goes black try pressing the lens down and see if it tries to work that would indicate loose connection, otherwise the sensor may be failing

Go in to recovery and fix permission's

OK so today we tried pushing down on the camera module.. then started up the phone and guess what.. it works again...

Sounds like the camera sensor is loose on the board, may need to take it on for repair, or if your techsavvy try opening it up and repair it yourself

It fixes permissions for a lot of things like apps folders etc your android phone is a linux based system so in order for things to execute they need to have the correct permissions. For instance something with 777 permissions means it has full read write and execute permission for the owner, group and other here is a calculator for linux permissions just to show you what the different permissions are.

The permissions can sometimes change meaning the app or folder or whatever isn't able to execute because it doesn't have permission to fixing permissions is just supposed to fix that so your things can execute correctly hope this helps

Really 3 posts to answer the same question with 3 of the same answer when we already found the cause of the issue

Funny cause ive been combing the net trying to find a working fix. I've been having the same issue for weeks. Once did the "fix permissions" and it worked. Another time i re-flashed the same ROM then a different ROM and they both worked.
IDK what it is but everytime it works bout an 1/2 hour to 1 hour later its back to the black screen again. I'm stuck guys. I even had a friend of mine extract his HTCcamera.apk from his phone & load it on mine...guess what...worked!!! Hour later.....same crap
Comeon guys lets put our heads together and figure this out!!!

[Q] No sensors working after reboot.

Hi, Im currently on the stock JB with a CID 001. My problem is that once I flash a rom none of my sensors work, after a few times holding the power button for a reboot they will start to work again. Im able to calibrate the G sensor in settings while they work but if I turn off my phone they will stop working.
This started happening after I updated to JB, I have tried using ARHD and Maximus with no difference. Each time I flash a rom they work but after they phone turns off they stop working, not just a few its all of them.
Any suiggestions please?

Just in the middle of updating my hboot to 1.39 so hopefully this helps
EDIT: after re flashing with maXimus 11 and hboot 1.39 the sensors didn't work. I restarted the phone holding the power button but that didn't help, done it again only holding the up button when the htc screen appearing when rebooting.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Also im going to install the two OTA updates here and see if the sensors will still work after these.

Installed the first update and the sensors stopped working and then installed the second and they started working again. I think once I turn off the phone I won't be able to get them to work again. Sorry about all the posts but I'm trying to give as much information as possible.

My phone ran out of battery there for the first time since I flashed the rom so was the first time the phone has been rebooted since the updates. Now the sensors have stopped working again. I have tried rebooting several times, Killing all tasks using the task manager then rebooting but nothing. The only way to get them going again is to re flash the rom. Any help please?

Any help at all? I haven't had any sensors since the last update which is pretty annoying. Thanks

I lost my gyro/compass/orientation at one point a few months ago... I tried several full wipes and different ROMs, nothing changed. However, what did fix 'em was when I relocked and flashed a stock O2 RUU to return it via my operator. Its been fine since.

So your saying the only thing to do is to send the phone back to O2 for a replacement? I opened my phone so I take it that's my warranty void anyways? But suppose I could always try. Thanks, also just compared my loud speaker to my brother phone and mine is awful compared to his

So after booting the phone into recovery and wiping the two caches and fixing permissions I was able to get the proximity sensor working after two reboots but after another it stopped working again. Any idea's?

No, sorry - I didn't send it back to O2, I flashed the RUU with the intent of doing so and that's what fixed it! Sorry for being confusing!

System problem,don't mention that.Flash another rom .That will be fixed.

I have already tried the European standard ruu along with maximus and arhd so unless I try the branded O2 stock rom. I will do this tomorrow. Thanks

Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

If flashing an actual o2 RUU didn't work (I was a bit confused by your previous posts as you can't flash an unbranded RUU on a branded handset...) If that didn't work then its a hardware fault. Or at least a software fault that can't be fixed without the software they use in an hTC service centre.

My phone isn't branded but I got it of O2. I might just re lock it and send it back as I don't seem to be getting anywhere with this. Thanks for all your help but.

So after I rebooted my phone tonight all my sensors have started to work. I don't know what's happening here at all and I don't want to reboot or let my battery die incase they stop working again. I also noticed compared to my brothers one x his screen is alot brighter than mine?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

So I flashed the stock RUU and sent it away for repair and they just sent it back saying there was physical damage, Im assuming this is just that I have opened the phone. So there still isnt any sensors working, any ideas please?

I am experiencing the same problem with the sensors... still didnt find a permanent solution. I rebooted like 100 times, eventually they worked, then after a reboot they didnt.
I came across this topic, maybe it will help

Any current Gen9 rom will brick the device as far as I can tell.

I may be wrong, but I think the tablet may be the same as the Prestigio multipad 5880d. I don't know enough about flashing to be able to tell if the firmware here (prestigio.cz/products/personal-computers/Tablet_PC/MultiPad_8.0_ULTRA_DUO) will work or not. It's under the "ke stazeni" section of the dropdown box.

Anyone finding the multi touch not being responsive in the browser etc?

Anybody tried the Google now packages you can flash?

Hey, I just got a Cobalt. I've rooted and used this guide http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/30620-fixed-google-play-issues-missing-apps/ and I've managed to get a lot more apps like Twitter and instagram to install from the Play store but there are still a lot of apps I can't install like GTA3. I imagine this is because the Play store thinks my tablet is another tablet but still not a tablet that can support GTA3? Ideally I want it to think I have a Nexus 7 or something that everything will run on!
Also when I go to the Play store on my PC I expected to see another device since I thought that's how I'd tricked the store into letting me download these apps? But there's just the same devices as before.
Can anyone make sense of what's going on? How can I get my device to accept almost all the apps from the Play store?

could any one maje a video of this tablet???

For those looking for Clockwork Recovery I've extracted and signed the kernel from the boot.img posted as part of the recovrry for this tab.
I think that flashing this kernel and recovery will give clockwork.
I won't have my tab until next week so cannot test this for myself.
I cannot yet post links so if you wish to try pop over to freaktab
Any feedback appreciated

It works brilliantly, thank you

Glad to be able to help.

Well I've received my tab today. First impressions really positive.
I've found an issue with my cwm recovery in that it does not format the internal sdcard. As this cannot be done from the tablet itself I think at present it would be best to set the tab up with standard recovery and then later on flash my cam and kernel.

One thing I have noticed is how picky the touch screen is. I got one for my daughter, who is 6 and uses all my other devices no problem. When using the archos however, it has difficulty picking up her strokes where it has very little trouble picking up mine. I'm guessing it's down to surface area.
Also this unit displays an old archos problem of the internal components pushing against the screen.
Anyone else experiencing similar issues, or know of any fixes. Otherwise a sound tablet for the price paid.

Worked fine first few days, but now it keeps randomly turning off, and the screen flickers a lot.

I've got an earlier non touch cwm working on my cobalt that correctly formats the internal sdcard. If I cannot resolve the issues with my touch based cwm I'll make the available.

Well, the time came for the first charge. Guess what, not happening. Through neither power adapter or usb.
Archos QA must be non existent.

It only charges via the power lead not usb which is strange as the power lead is 5V too.
Wiggle the lead about in the socket as a 3rd party usb power lead I've bought needs that to make proper contact to then charge.

Buttons not functioning

Anyone ever have the home, menu, back, and search keys not function properly? Doesn't seem to be an issue with the ROM as I have tried a couple and have the problem on both all of a sudden.
By not function properly, I mean not function at all. Hitting those buttons has no effect.
Any ideas?

Started happening on ascension oblivion after about 3 weeks of using the ROM. Switched to chillybeans cm10.1 to see if that would fix it but no luck. I have also tried doing a few full wipes and reinstalling both ROMs.
Thinking about going back to stock to see if that fixes it, but really don't want to.

Turning them on didn't seem to fix my issue. However turning them off completely and using the navbar in cm 10.1 is working for me for now. Thanks for the tip.
Is it possible that the buttons not working is a hardware issue?

Do you have a screen protector on? I've never heard of em having issues though sorry to say.. of course i twist mine a little side to side outta boredom.. Semi take it apart you might have dust or dirt in there

No, don't have a screen protector on. I haven't heard of them not working either. Unfortunately, my phone is my only source of internet access for the next few days. So its not easy to do much research.
