The incredible will go into hboot but the recovery, factory reset, clear storage all send it into a boot loop. It is S-off and should have cwm (the root was done by unrevoked) but I cant get it into recovery mode to fix the problem. the up vol + power will cause it to vibrate 3 times but the screen stays black.
I am use to samsung phones where I can just odin it back to stock but have little experience with Htc. Any help on reverting it back to stock or just help me get into recovery so i can flash a custom rom would be great. thanks
btw
hboot is .92
Radio 2.15.00.07.28
If you are s-off I would first try reflashing cwm thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip
Here is the CWM 5.0.2.0 PB31IMG.zip
http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip
Just place it on the root of your sd and then boot into hboot (hold vol down and power) it should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install. If that works then install the su binary found below thru recovery.
http://dinc.does-it.net/SuperUser/SuperUser_3.0.7.zip
thanks for the quick reply after updating with the PB3 file it still wont go into recovery mode, just the boot loop. any other ideas?
I would say your next step would be to do an ruu of froyo 2.2 wich you can fiNd here http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/3.26.605.1/PB31IMG.zip and if that dosent work I would try an ruu exe with your pc.
Thanks for your quick response, this phone is wack! I ran the ruu exe from my pc it did its thing and successfully updated the Rom but to my surprise when it rebooted it was stuck in a boot loop!
I had a similar problem a few days ago, and the only solution I found was to update CWM through RomManager. I'm thinking that the problem may have been caused by RomManager in the first place, which is why this is the only method that worked for getting CWM working.
You could try flashing an older version of cwm like 3.0.0.8 thru hboot. Mabey cwm 5 is whats causing your troubles. Or try flashing amon ra recovery.
Cwm 3.0.0.8

Can you get into recovery yet or are the hboot options still not working?
Mabey your hboot got corrupted somehow you can try reflashing it.
hboot 0.92
http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_0.92/PB31IMG.zip
Then try flashing a recovery again and see if you can get into it.
None of the hboot options work. I have flashed all the files you have given me. and I have done the ruu exe of both froyo and gingerbread. they all say they have completed successfully but nothing has fixed the problem. Still cant get into recovery and it wont but up at all. Im not sure what else it could be
Im not sure then if none of those options work im at a loss of what else you could do. Mabey someone with more experince can chime in with some other options. Have you tried reformating your sdcard or using a different one? Thats the only other thing I can think of.

When you say "flashing" are you literally flashing these .zip files in CWM or are you renaming these files to PB31IMG.zip and installing thru HBOOT? There is a difference between the two.

He cant get into recovery thats one of the issues.
ya i guess not flashing just running the PB31 file in hboot. I think im done working with it though. Im doing it for some guy who tried flashing it from verizon to another carrier but it didnt work and it only goes into hboot now. but thanks for all your help especially cmlusco. I'm still open for ideas but It's not going to my priority anymore. I learned a lot about htc phones if anything

So the OP is S Off and can't flash the PB CWM file in HBOOT? Ccould be a bad file too. Make are you are checking md 5s
Sent from my Droid Incredible HD using Tapatalk
He can flash any PB31IMG file sucessfully but the phone will not boot and selecting any of the options in hboot leads him to a splash bootloop, and requires a battery pull. It's all above.

Ya it is s -off
I have flashed the pb CWM file no luck and also the other recovery (cant remember the name)
I also tried flashing th pb hboot file no luck
I flashed the pb ruu froyo no luck and also gb no luck
i then tried doing it through my computer using stock froyo exe and also a gb one with no luck (In every case the phone said it was "successful" in updating the roms and/or the recoverys)
But nothing ever changes it will only boot into hboot but nothing works in the hboot everything just sends it into a boot loop on the white htc screen

Thats probably the issue it was attempted to be switched to another carrier wich is a fairly complicated process. He may have changed some settings below rom level that cant be fixed by flashing an ruu. Im not sure if there is a fix with qpst or not but if there is I have no clue how to do it.
Been seeing some odd issues lately. I had a problem, and it would just go to a black screen and vibrate five times.
If the USB was plugged in to my PC, it would boot and operate fine, as soon as I unplugged it, it would crash again.
Check this out, it may be related.

I've been having almost this exact problem and have been working on it since 5:30 last night. As my phone is also my modem, I am currently at the library on wifi... FML.
The only difference is that I did not try to switch carriers, I was just using my phone normally and then yesterday morning I had a bunch of FCs, and yesterday evenings began the boot loops when I unlocked to make a phone call, again, FML.
The timing is very bad, only about two weeks till my new-every-two. Please help, I need my phone and don't really have the money to spare for a new one.
Thanks in advance.

Both experiencing the same problem,
One UD 8.0 got stuck in loop after I tried installing Koush Kernel
2nD one is running CM6.0.1, was fine until I tried using to read Phone #1s MicroSD to figure out what was wrong.
2nd phone (CM6) then restarted randomly while plugged into PC, which started the bootloop.
Tried everything, nandroid (Couldn't mount /Data), I wiped, factory reset, tried reflashing update.zip for CM6 phone.
Both phones are completely useless, not sure what to do at this point and CM6's owner was leaving town.
Any ideas? Ultimate way to unbrick a DINC? If you know of anything, please help.
A boot loop is not a brick. I would nandroid back to stock(you did this right?) or use an RUU.

Does this mean you can get into hboot?
If yes, you should be able to ruu an official release..

I do not have a great deal of experience, but since you can get in recovery, place King Kernel #3 on your SD card, boot into recovery and apply the KingKernals #3 zip file from your SD card for the 1st phone. See if that fixes it. Just sounds like incompatibility with the kernel if it happened right after you flashed it.

UD is an AOSP Rom, King's kernel does not support it at this time.
I would try a fresh install of the 8-26 leak. Do wipe first, then do dalvik wipe under advanced settings. Get deodexed version of rom Here
If that does not work let's get some information
Did you run unrevoked forever and get S-off status?
What radio version are you using?
You should not be borked if you are getting into recovery you should be fine.
@ToyTank
BOTH phones are - 2.05.00.6.11 S-ON, Neither are unrevoked forever.
Problem with phone 1 (UD) is that the SD card is completely messed up now. It's an 8GB that has nothing on it, the compuiter is reading it at 758MB. Any function of Recovery leads to errors mounting, so flashing stuff isn't working, nandroid as well.
Phone 2 (CM6) let's me flash stuff onto it, "Install from sdcard complete." but will continue into a bootloop when I restart the phone.
I attempted RUU last night and maybe I'm doing it wrong but the software is giving me an error connecting to USB. How should I go about installing the 8-26 leak? Just wipe > throw in PB31IMG and install?
I assume I don't need unrevoked forever for this, I tried 8-26 and flashed PB31IMG.zip, Device 2 Starts dancing until it says "Main Version is older! Update Fail". Anybody know a workaround?
Try formating the sd card to FAT32 using a computer. That might help with phone #1. Error with usb can be solved using these steps.
1. Try the RUU executable. it will give you that usb error, taking you to the black htc screen.
2. Exit the ruu program (leaving phone in that state) and run it again. This worked for me when I RUU'd mine.
Who knows though. It may have been a one shot deal.
sounds like you are trying a bunch of stuff without READING about what you are doing. you flashed kernels with a rom that CLEARLY states that they will not work and then you tried to flash unsigned roms through hboot which will not work without s-off and then you try to downgrade when you have the ota leak (radio 2.05) which will not work.
you either need to get the ruu working, get s-off applied or follow the steps to go back to stock hboot.
time for you to start doing your homework to get yourself out of this mess.
Neither are bricked. Ruu back to stock.
yeah bro not good practice
@Fretless, @Lafester, @GermanBrat. Thanks for the comments - going to try RUU 3.21.605 and report back.
Hey guys RUU worked for Phone 2 (CM6) but is not playing nice with Phone 1. USB connection error. I appreciate the help so far, any more ideas for this phone?
It's basically stuck in white htc inc screen and will go no further. It's completely wiped and nothing will mount in recovery. RUU can't detect a usb connection but the PC beeps when I connect via usb
I don't know what I did wrong. After downloading a moddet statusbar vor Oxygen 0.2 I wanted to reboot into recovery and it took me very long. It freezed. After pulling the battery and setting it back in and pushing the power button my desire vibrated in 3 short intervals.
Since that I can't boot into the os or into recovery. Only thing that is working is the bootloader and the fastboot.
First thing I tryed is to flash (with fastboot) a new recovery but nothing changed. still it freezes at the splash screen.
I also downloaded official o2 rom from their homepage. But I think they want me to run the .exe while in android. A error comes up and tells me that it can't find a phone.
official htc roms don't work too. one told me that I'm not allowed to install this particular rom and an other official rom keeps exiting with error code: 170 telling me that the usb connection couldn't be established or something like this.
is there something else I can try?
I googled and searched the board. Tryed to boot into recovery without microSD card too but still no success.
help
Unpack the Rom and get the image out of the file...
Rename it to pb99img.zip dump only that on the root of your sdcard and boot into hboot .
T i d y .
Or just look on shiped roms for an 02 pb99img.zip and download then rename
T i d y .
Thank you so much. I already tryed this with 3 different pb99img images and had always the same error (CID). One of them was a o2 uk rom. So I gave up on trying it this way. But I didn't know that it could be extracted from every rom.
Now I think every thing is working again. Thank you.
Oh well ... I destroyed it again. Like I said I was able to install official o2 rom and everything was working again. After that I wanted to root it with unrevoked 3.21 but it freezed at "waiting for reboot". So I had to pull the battery once again.
But now I can't even enter bootloader. Only a screen pops up with htc in the middle and with four ! in every corner of the display.
Tryed to install official o2 rom again. It can find it and starts installing but at the end of the installation it stops with an error:
error [110]: error while opening data. Tryed it 3 times but always the same.
This might work for you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck
You have to have a working Goldcard and be able to access HBOOT to do the above
Nevermind.
I send it to o2. Since I was able to install the official RUU once I think they will take care of it.
What happend is:
For some reason I wasn't able to boot my phone. Recovery wasn't working too. Only thing that was working was Bootloader and Fastboot.
Just to sum up what I tryed:
Installing new recovery didn't help. I was able to install official o2 RUU and everything was working. But I lost my root. I think it had HBoot 0.930001
So I wanted to root it again with unrevoked 3.21
It started well and rebootet one or two times. But at the thirt reboot attempt it juft freezed and nothing was happening. I don't know what I did wrong?
is unrevoked 3.21 really able to root a phone with hboot 0.930001?
As I said ... if faild and after that I couldn't even enter Bootloader or Fastboot.
So I send it to o2 and hope they fix it.
But now I am really scared to root it again. If it fails again ... what will they think if I send it after 3 days again to them.

Hi,
I have the same problem and getting pretty desperate now.
Only FASTBOOT and BOOTLOADER works.
I have clockwork recovery installed but it wont boot into recovery. It just gets stuck on the white boot screen.
I can't copy PB99IMG.zip or any other zip file because I can't access the phone through usb. I tried:
adb push PBIMG99.zip /
error: device not found
Is my phone useless now? As good as a brick?
try pack it in some tolietpaper put it in to the freezer fore 5 min an try again

janielsen's idea seems crazy but give it a try..
put it in the freezer for few minutes then take it out
and then try to get into recovery mode..
you'll be able to do that
if you see a triangle with ! mark at the center that means it's a serious hardware issue and we can't do anything about that you have to send it to htc service center
Ha, funnily enough I did try the freezer thing but that didn't work either. What did work was booting into fast boot, connecting the usb and flashing with an official RUU in windows.
The phone is still stuffed!!!
It now has an official htc rom, no root, no mods, nothing... just stock!
But whenever it has to do a bit more processing like viewing a complex web page with flash, playing a game, downloading from the market it resets itself. Why?
I am starting to think it's a hardware problem but I need confirmation. I tried different roms but I get the same result. Has anyone has the same experience???
well i have sent my phone in fore repare the trick whit the freezer is only so u can unroot it so they cant see that it has bien rooted
the problem is that the cpu is getting to hot
Hey janielsen,
I had a feeling it was a hardware problem, because it only resets when it's doing a lot of processing.
But what can they do? Replace the CPU? Did they say how much it costs?
I bought my phone second hand so I don't have warranty.
yes u have warrenty because htc can see by the imei when the garanty is running out
they will replace the mainboard

Ok, I'll try to keep this simple and informative.
I have been rooted with unrEVOked for months. Last night I flashed CyanogenMod 7 RC2. (I've posted this there too on their forums) Today my Evo crashed while using the app QR Droid, and now goes into a boot loop after the "htc EVO 4g" white screen. It loads that screen, then goes black, reboots and does this cycle until I pull the battery.
I can get into hboot. (v 2.10.001, Clockworkmod), S-OFF, updated radio last night when I actually could before I flashed CM7 RC2 to 2.15.00.11.19.
Here is where the problem deepens, and is very similar to this thread; Bricked Evo, and cant factory wipe. Help please
When I try to select Recovery, the boot-loop starts over; so i actually cant get into recovery and flash anything from the sd card it also does not give me any triangle bull**** or whatever, just starts the boot loop.
I have a card reader for my micro sd card; I took everything off of it and put an RUU on it, renamed it PC36IMG.zip, got into hboot, tried to update it and it failed, goes back to the boot loop. I believe the ruu was outdated.
Can someone link me to the most recent recovery image? I should use to get back to stock? I think that is my problem, the ruu is out of date.
Or any other input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I tried this recovery image to know effect, when i reboot after applying update it goes back into loop; CANT POST LINK YET!

should'nt make any difference at all. I'm not sure how your initial problem happened, but you are not the first I've seen this happen to. Most that I've seen were recent, and were running CM7. Not sure what's up with that, but if you search the q and a section, you'll find a few similar threads. Very strange. I hope you ge it working again.
Happened to me and a few others a week or 2 ago. There was no fix that we found. Pc36img wont work, ruu won't work. U won't be able to do anything to get s-off to s-on either (in my experience.) Even tho u can get to bootloader, if its like what happened to me and a few others, ur bricked. I got mine warranty replaced (but they're still gonna charge me $125 for returning an unrecoverable phone) another guy threw his out his car window and they charged him $100 to replace his "lost" phone. Those are the only options I know of.

Was everything working properly before you tried to run the RUU, or were you already having looping problems? Perhaps try clearing storage from your bootloader menu, then try to boot up again. If that still fails, then I'd try running the RUU again.
Some more info would be great, such as the following:
what RUU version did you flash?
what is your current hboot version?
what is your current radio/baseband version?
That information will determine which RUU you need to run.
If your looping at the splash screen (HTC Evo 4G screen) and NOT the actual boot animation, then it sounds like it could be a problem with your bootloader, possibly.
It does sound like you'll need to try running the RUU again, or running a different RUU.
Thanks for your reply.
Everything was working fine before this happened. I took it off the charger and booted it up and it started to loop.
Hboot is 2.10 and I flashed the latest RUU available from HTC/Sprint

So everything was working good, then you decided you were going to unroot? Do you mind if I ask why (out of curiosity).
So basically, you decided to unroot it. You ran the RUU, it completed successfully, you unplugged from your USB cable, turned it on, and the result was looping at the splash. Is that accurate? If so, I would try running the RUU again.
I'd probably even download a new copy of the RUU, just to be sure you don't have a bad download. Then try running it again and see if that makes any difference for you. I'll attatch a link to the RUU i keep in my dropbox.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, that in order for you to run the RUU now, you'll most likely need to be in fastboot mode. So, boot to the bootloader, and select 'fastboot usb' from the menu. Once your in fastboot usb mode, try running the RUU. It should detect the phone and run just fine.
I wasn't trying to unroot. I flashed the ruu to see if I could get my phone working again after I saw it was looping the splash screen. I did the fastboot usb the ruu found the phone and flashed the new software and still loops.
Same thing is happening to me. I was on Deck's ROM except I wasn't trying to unroot. I put it on the charge then I noticed the White HTC Splash screen was on and off.
Now it won't get past it. I can get into the loader but not recovery.

Damn man, I'm sorry to hear that. The RUU is pretty much a last resort of restoring your phone back to stock when things go wrong. Since that is failing, there isn't too much else you can do. You can try running a different RUU, but I would most likely expect the same results you've been getting. There was a bunch of people with this same problem a month or two back, and there was never a fix found for it. The name of the thread was "boot looping and no recovery access" or something like that. Author of the thread was something like westibone. I'll see if I can dig it up for you, so you can read through that. There were a ton of suggestions in there. Good luck.
i just completely got lost here in incredible forums
have one phone here and it stock on htcincredible logo, phone goes to hboot ( it is S-ON, HBOOT-0.92.0000, radio 2.15.10.07.07) , recovery and stuff, but i cant find a stock firmware, some topics have broken links
tried this one PB31IMG_3.26.605.1_RUU.zip, but it says "Main Version is older! Update Fail!" i believe this file is too old
what is the solution? which firmware should i flash to recover it
thanks

It seems like you might have a bad SD card. Do you have any spare SDs lying around that you could try out? by the way have you been trying to flash these updates through recovery, because they are designed to be flashed in hboot. I thought you were using hboot to flash based on the language used but from the picture you loaded it looks like stock recovery if I am correct. If you have been trying to flash these files through recovery try again using hboot but I suspect you were doing it right the first time. If that is the case, I would do like I suggested above and try using an alternate sd card. I can't promise that will fix the problem but based on the fact that recovery is unable to mount /sdcard it seems like it is a hardware problem.
no, i flashed trough hboot and device did not boot
after that i tried to do hardreset in recovery
i will try another card, i have 64gb on me right now, dont know if it will work :laugh:

Okay, Let me know how it goes!
Have you tried reflashing recovery? Or flashing to stock or amon ra recovery and then back to cwm.

If you can still get to hboot, try doing another ruu. http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22
