I rooted and installed the leaked OTA. After hearing about the possible 2.2 I tried to downgrade the radio. Something messed up along the way and now I'm stuck with an incredible that is showing no internal memory (won't even let me save a picture), will not read an SD card and keeps rebooting when I remove the usb cable. I'm stuck in a real hard place. If anyone can assist me in restoring my phone and how to go about it, it would be appreciated. Also it is now showing my phone as an unknown device when I connect to the pc and I can not get into adb.
Can you reboot into recovery? (power off, then hold volume down while powering back on) then select recovery?
If you can get into clockworkmod recovery, we can get you back up and running.
do a hard reset. if that doesnt work, take it back to vzw and make up a story on how it got the way it is.
TIP: i dont think you can downgrade the radio.

I started following this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeuiURZZZds and after trying to run 'flash_image misc mtd0.img', it said I did not have enough memory so I just unplugged the phone and tried to reboot, but it brought me to the recovery console and it's the stock one. So the stock img was able to install. I don't even have clockwork now. I should have left it alone. I have a constant sd card icon with a ?.
just hard reset or ruu . if this doesnt work, then i think you bricked your radoio. do you have 3g?

Jd is right. Just ruu back to the leaked ota. If you can get to stock recovery you should be able to ruu. Once your back up and running we might be able to help you downgrade. First things first.
Just tried the hard reset it was a no go. I have 3G service and I made some calls to make sure it worked. After the hard reset it is still showing the sd card icon with ?. For the RUU do I need any drivers because the phone is showing up now as an unknown device.
Just give it a shot.
ruu is the way to go. your problem is more sever than hard reset fixijg.

P.s. If you follow the downgrade tutorial by "IncredibleDoes" you can use an sdcard adapter and put the card into your pc (since your phone usb drivers aren't working), copy the "pb31img" file over, then reboot back into hboot, and it will put you right back to the original stock in one step.
If you have a card reader on your pc, turn the phone off, put the card in the pc and make sure it's formatted properly. Then put the ruu file on the card. (Follow the instructions in the unroot sticky topic.) Then put card back in phone and boot into stock recovery. It should apply the update.

hows the ruu going?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
I'm still trying. It's not looking good. Hboot is still version .79 after I flashed the stock img. I'm probably going to have to call it a night for now though. I'll be back tomorrow to trouble shoot it some more. I'll write more after I try it again. Thanks for the help tonight!
of you need additional help feel free to pm me anytime.

Hboot is NOT going to downgrade....no matter what you do. The stock (pre-ota) rom will run fine with the newer hboot version.

Yes it will downgrade, as the ota leak is a newer version of .79. that is, if you follow the procedure right.
Also, yes you can downgrade the radio, in response to an earlier post.
If you got out of memory type messages running through that method, then you did it wrong. Maybe you tried it outside of clockwork? I haven't watched the video to do it, but seeing how I made the original post for it, I know it works.
Interesting! I wasn't aware of that breakthrough (hboot downgrade).
In that case, I suggest ruu'ing back to the leaked OTA (so that your USB and SD are both working again), then try following the instructions that adrynalyne referenced.
Good Luck.

I ruu'ed the img. The phone starts up and works normally. Except it still shows the internal and SD card memory as unavailable and the usb restarting after removing the cable. I tried to reload the leaked OTA through recovery, but it gets an error saying the file is not on the SD card.
I can get my Evo into the bootloader, but it won't allow me to reboot (it goes to the HTC Evo screen, then the screen goes dark and vibrates 5 times), I'll pull the battery and go back into the bootloader, I'll try to go into recovery and its does the same as rebooting. If someone can advise me what I can do to fix this, I would appreciate it. I messed up when I flashed an old Radio (2.15.00.07.21) Wont do that ever again :-(!
Specs: HBoot 2.10
Radio: 2.15.00.07.21
S-Off

I am a noob at this so please be nice, I also get the radio_v2 fail-pu when trying to update the phone, I'm not sure if i have the right PC36IMG file, thank you for your time!

I don't even recognize that as any radio I've seen for the Evo. The last one ended in. 11.19 or something like that. The one before that ended with. 01.09 I believe. I don't recognize the one you used. Are you positive it was an Evo radio...? Your situation doesn't sound good though. I would try running an RUU from fastboot, but if you did flash a non evo radio, your probably in trouble...someone correct me if im wrong and that is indeed an evo radio.

Have you attempted running a 3.29 RUU?
http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
Download the 3.29 version, boot your phone into the bootloader, select fastboot, connect to your pc. Once it shows fastboot usb on the phone, run the ruu exe.

He can place a PC36IMG form of the RUU and do it that way, but if he wanted s-on, he'd need to flash the unrevoked s-on tool from recovery, which he can't get to.

Try to basicaly reroot id try to hook to pc and run the hboot driver to fix the driver hopefully that will get you back into recovery. And id stick with flashin roms not radios its to risky. Did you back up your wimax keys?

Ok hi. So here's the deal:
My EVO can boot into bootloader, and it can get into recovery. Cool right? NO!!!
here's where the problem starts: I installed a corrupted ROMand of course, like every ROM, I wiped everything before flashing that one, and ended up not having a system to fall back on... And now the only thing I can do is get into the Bootloader and recovery.
The following issues I'm having, and the thins I have tried are:
1. I have tried putting the PC36IMG.ZIP at the root of the sd card.
- That didnt work though, and I figured that would only make sense, due to the fact that in recovery, it says "E: cant mount sd card"... So why/how would it work in bootloader?
2. It says "wrong image" when it tries to update the IMG file
3. I'm not a complete noob, I am willing to try ADB, I just dont know the commands to use :-( and IDK what to "push" or, even how to get the computer (PC, NOT a mac) to recognize the phone since it's... well, borked, I guess.
4. I' guessing that's the ONLY way to truly fix the phone and flash another ROM... is from the PC? But if so, HOW? Please help me.

Hey that sounds like it would work, but my question is...How do I get the phone detected on the pc, if the phone cant read the sd card? You get what I'm saying? Like, what buttons do I press to enable the USB to be picked up on the computer? Thnks a lot man.
That happened to me. You have to hold BOTH the Vol+ and Vol- Buttons at the same time until it starts vibrating. You also have to connect it to the computer in order to make it vibrate.
EDIT: You have to take out the battery while plugged in. Sorry for forgetting
When u put the PC36IMG.zip (named exactly like that) on your SD card, are u sure it wasn't named PC36IMG.zip.zip or any other variant of the correct name? Use a card adapter to put file in main folder of SD then put it back in phone. Then boot to bootloader n test. What recovery did u have installed when you tried to flash a radio? Clockwork will not flash radios

Yes I did... It says wrong image
I downloaded an and flashed an Incredible Rom and I have an HTC Evo.
It is now stuck at the HTC screen, and when I boot into recovery mode, and go to "recovery" it just takes me to Fastboot USB."
Usually it would take me to I believe Clockwork recovery?
Is there any chance you guys can help me or point me in the right direction =/
I really hope I didn't brick me phone. I've been searching online for hours and can't find anything that works. Even downloading the android-usb-driver.zip
I figure as long as I can get into Clockwork recovery or somehow read my SD card from my Phone I can just flash something else to fix it? I can't seem to find a way to do that though =/
Thank you for helping this moron in advance
First off you are not bricked ( take a deep breath) now since you can go into the bootloader you are going to flash clockworkmod from the bootloader look for his thread and download it
evo on cm7
Thank you for your prompt reply.
The thing is, I don't know how to Flash clockword mod from Bootloader. I know I have all the files on my SD card, since I've been rooted for a while and have flashed other roms, I just don't know how to access and flash it. Even if I did not have the file (which I believe I do,) I wouldn't know how to get it onto the SD card and flash it.
Thanks for all your help
PS, it has S -OFF.
Please someone help i'm freaking out here.
Calm down, are you holding volume down and power when you turn the phone on?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
pull your card, if you have a card reader, put the pc36img for Amon Ra on the root of yo sdcard, put it in the phone, boot up by holding power and vol down at the same time, you'll go to bootloader. it'll scan, find the pc36img (which must be named PC36IMG.ZIP) and ask if you want to update, select yes, then it'll install recovery.
You can do a search for dougjamal. he has a link to the Amon Ra file in his signature, so find one of his posts
Thanks HipKat!
My friend is coming with his Galaxy S. I'll just put my USB in his phone, download the file to the SD card, pop it back into mine, and it should work, right?
THank you so much.
Can I message you for further help?
LMK how I can use the "Thanks" button. Still somewhat new to this.
I'm at work, so I can't stay on here. That dougjamal guy is really good and has links in his sig for a lot of important files.
IF the AR ps36img file doesn't work, you may have to run the RUU and start over fro mstock, and he has a link to the RUU files in his signature, too. just make sure you use the one for your device in the same way as I described the Amon Ra file, then you'll have to re-root.
ALSO, if you used unrEVOked to root your phone, go to their site and get the s-off tool and run that from recovery, if you're able to get to recovery before you run RUU (I doubt you have to run RUU though. I'm thinking recovery should work for you)
If you still need help you can pm me for it.

All good now. Thanks so much guys!!
I know. It looks like a lengthy read. But all the information you could possibly need I've provided. Please let me know what you think. Also, I've done some searchign around but none of the scenarios I found were a result to flash back to stock sprint RUU.
The error reads as follows: "Attention. A network error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen."
What actually happens: Anytime I open Marketplace, Facebook app, send a message through KakaoTalk or GroupMe, pretty much anything that uses the 3G, 4G data, it doesn't work. The message only comes up when I try to use the marketplace app. All other apps just say there was a connection error, connecting to the server, etc.
When I hit "Retry" it goes right back to the same dialog pop up, as if it doesnt even re"try". The top notification bar goes from 3G and then disappears, then goes from 3G and just continually disappears. It doesnt matter if I have 4G on or WiFi, it will just goes back to 3G when attempting to gain data, and then disappears and the error happens.
My Timeline of events: I first had been running Synergy and everything was fine. Suddenly my wall charger (or any wall charger for that matter) stopped working when plugged in. The car charger still works, but no HTC wall chargers, odd. So I decided to use that insurance for good and bring it into sprint. Gotta unroot and all that jazz first though. I downloaded the "RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe" and found a way to connect my phone to the PC, and finished the wizard. Mind you, before I did this, I went into recovery (while on synergy) and did a dalvik cache wipe, data/factory wipe and cache wipe, then went back into hboot and ran the wizard from there. Everything went fine, the ROM install was successful, I no longer have recovery and it was the stock sprint ROM.
Where things got fishy...: After it was running through all the constant reboots and things, I let the phone sit while I did other things. I came back to it, signed into my gmail and facebook fine, then went to marketplace. I started downloading all my purchased apps and since that was going to take some time, I let it sit again and went off.
Fishy part: I come back to he phone, and would normally just pull down notification taskbar, and hit clear all notifications, since it said a bunch of things had sucessfully installed, but I notcied it also said "System update complete." Hmmm, I didn't start any system update...did it do it automatically? It had to of. I went to check for an OTA (HTC software update) and it found "System upgrade 1.47.651.1 (30.15 MB) - FOTA update." I canceled it since I pretty sure doing an OTA update on a rooted ROM is a no-no.
So what the heck is the problem here, I never had these issues before until I went back to the stock sprint ROM. I've already updated PRL a few times, does nothing.
Should I go back and reflash it and this time make sure it doesnt do a system upgrade until I've turned S-OFF back to S-ON? Once the phone is S-ON is it safe to update OTA?
My About Phone details are a sfollows:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 1.39.00.05.31
Kernal version: 2.6.29-a2443432
Build number: 1.32.651.6 CL171253 release-keys
Software number: 1.32.651.6
Browser version: WebKit 3.1
PRI version: 1.90_003
PRL version: 60683
Any help, advice, suggestions are welcome!!!!! Please hook me up fellas, I'm a little bogged down about the upset.
UPDATE:
Okay. Since I am an impatient person and the last resort was going to re-flash the RUU, I'm just going to do that. And then make sure there is no system update. Once that is done, I'll run the S-ON tool from somewhere, hopefully I won't need recovery for anything, aaand then we'll see where we are. If you're reading all this PLEASE reply with something, anything to let me know somewhere out there is alive! lol, please.
With phone s on and stock ruu loaded it should be fine to accept update...wow u might get froyo lol. And it might help with your data issue...idk much but I know a little.
Edit: maybe try a newer ruu that might help with the data as well. not sure how HTC updates but i think it goes one at a time instead of newest available

Here is amon ra recovery. Put on root of SD card and flash in bootloader. http://db.tt/TOsdM52P
This should get u recovery back so u can flash the s on tool. Then run a newer ruu, there is a thread in the EVO dev section with the latest, and hopefully it will also fix your data problems

Okay, I downloaded the file, put it on SD card, unplugged it, opened hboot and it tried loading the PC36IMG file, it said wrong image or soemthing like that about 6 times and then went back to the regular screen. Although, it has ALWAYS said wrong image for me, so I'm not worried about that.
So now I just went down and hit recovery and its a no go.
OKAY! Now my phone goes straight to the black screen with a Phone on it, and a little red triable with an exclamation point inside everytime now. It used to only come up when i tried going into recovery. now it comes up everytime i load up the phone. does this mean, its bricked...
EDIT: nvm, I was able to load HBOOT thank god, but still having trouble getting the damn recovery.
Well go to amon ra thread in the EVO dev section and dl th pc36img from there...maybe u got a bad dl...

Well, it did the wrong image no image thing again like it always does, and then i tried going into recovery aaaand it didnt work.

Yyyeeaaah, about that.

I highlighted the entier file name "recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img" and renamed it to "PC36IMG.ZIP" and then it turned into a zip file. restarted the phone in nboot and didnt work.

I ran the "RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_rele ase_171253.exe" before and flashed that, but i remember that i had to unroot my gf's phone back in june, so i went to my downlaod list and saw that i used "RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe"
So I just did that, and the 3G data seems to be fine. [email protected] Now onward to unrooting.
Now that I have stock ROM, do I just run a S-ON tool and fix it? But I dont have custom recovery, wtf this is effing confusing...

Maybe I am wrong and it won't flash recovery with a non rooted ROM but I thought would because of s-off it should... Should of flashed the s on before u ran the ruu. It's signed with HTC keys and would of been fine.

YOU DID IT! Horrayy!!!! Thank you my kind, kind kind kind sir!
I am on recovery right now. So now do i follow these instructions...
How to Unroot the HTC EVO 4G
◄●REQUIRED DOWNLOADS●►
Unrevoked S-On Tool
PC36IMG
◄●SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS●►
If you're comfortable with everything Android related(flashing, recovery, etc.) then its just 2 simple steps:
If you used Unrevoked Forever at any time, flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip from recovery until hboot shows S-ON
Flash the PC36IMG.zip from hboot
◄●DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS●►
If you need a little more guidance, follow these instructions.
◄●If you have used Unrevoked forever, start here●►
Make sure you have downloaded the files linked above. Do not extract them
Connect your phone to your computer via USB and change to "Disk Drive" by dragging down from the notification bar.
If you have NOT used Unrevoked Forever, skip to the instructions below. If you have, transfer unrevoked-forever-son.zip to the root of your sdcard. Do NOT transfer the PC36IMG yet. It'll only cause a hassle and make this take longer.
Once complete, power off the phone
reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY.
Depending on what recovery you're using, you need to flash a zip. Select the unrevoked-foreverson.zip that you just transferred and complete the flash.
When complete, power off the phone. Reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. If it says S-ON at the top, select RECOVERY and skip to step 9. If it says S-OFF, repeat steps 5-7 Until it does.
◄●If you have NEVER used Unrevoked forever, start here●►
Power off the phone and reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY.
Connect via USB. There is an option for this in both Amon RA and Clockwork.
Transfer the PC36IMG.zip to the root of your sdcard.
EJECT THE PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER and then turn off USB in Recovery
Power off the phone and reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen.
It should check the PC36IMG.zip and then ask you YES/NO to apply the update. Press VOL UP for YES
Once complete, Press VOL UP to reboot.
You are now unrooted!
Have I ever used unrevoked? idk if i have! where do i start, or do i just run the s-on tool...?
Yes as long as u rooted with unrevoked and NOT REVOLUTIONARY... make sure to remove/rename the recovery pc36img on root of SD...once s on is achieved either run a ruu or the pc36img from that thread...off to kickboxing I go glad I could help...

I think I may have bricked my Incredible...I pulled it out to put some games on it for my daughter to play. It had the latest OTA (2.3.4) and I wanted to root it. Played around with various methods to root and nothing worked. Downgraded to 2.2, and now it boot loops. If I have it plugged in, it will boot, but if unplugged it just loops. It won't install recovery from HBOOT, so I don't know what to do. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I think I may have bricked my Incredible...I pulled it out to put some games on it for my daughter to play. It had the latest OTA (2.3.4) and I wanted to root it.

Ok so your definitley on 2.2 now?
S-on or off?
Radio version?
Hboot version?
Does the phone vibrate 5 times when trying to power on?
Software version shows 2.2
S-ON
Radio Version not sure how to check
HBOOT .92
Does not vibrate 5 times.
Thank you very much for the help!!
I had the same issue with not booting unless plugged in. I also had 5 vibes though with it.
Just from hearing that, read through the 5 vibes sticky and see what you can do.

Tried the 5 vibrates fix, can't flash the stock rom in HBOOT and the RUU says there is a USB connection error.
Radio (baseband) version is at the top of hboot. If you have the 2.15.00.07.28 radio i would plug the phone into the pc so it boots, and then try using unrevoked to get root and s-off.
The ruu exe probably gave that error because you dont have htc sync installed which gives you the right drivers for the ruu. Im not sure why you cant get a PB31IMG.zip ruu to flash thru hboot. Does it give any errors?

I do have the 2.15.00.07.28 radio, but the USB doesn't seem to be working because unrevoked doesn't see the phone. I tried with HTC Sync installed and it still didn't work. I don't get any errors, it just won't install the PB31IMG file. I really do appreciate the help, I want to get this thing working again!!

In the phones settings do you have usb debuging checked (on) and fastboot unchecked (off). If your on 2.2 there will not be a fastboot option.
Also the drivers for unrevoked are different than the drivers for the ruu. You can get the unrevoked drivers from the unrevoked site, and the ruu drivers from htc sync. Note that to install one set of drivers, you need to uninstall the other ones first.
Also when trying the ruu thru hboot, the file must be named exactly PB31IMG.zip, and be on the root of your sdcard (in no folders).
Does hboot find the file, parse it (progress bar on the right) and then abort, or does it not find it at all?
Yes and yes.
Installed the Unrevoked drivers, but still no luck.
It finds the file and ignores it.

I would copy all the files of your sd to your pc, and then format the sdcard fat32 with windows. Then copy your files back to the sdcard and download a fresh copy of the PB31IMG.zip you can get it here http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22, you will want the froyo one not the gingerbread. Then try flashing it thru hboot again. You said you also couldnt flash cwm thru hboot. This makes me think there is an error on your sdcard, or your doing something wrong with the PB31IMG files. If your s-off you should be able to flash an ruu or recovery thru hboot.

LOL, no offense taken! This is the only phone I've had trouble with. I've owned 2 Incredibles, a DROID 3, a BIONIC, and now two Rezounds. Never had an issue rooting/flashing/etc. til now. I've formatted the sdcard a few times now, and I've tried three different sdcards. I think this phone just hates me. I have two other Incredibles sitting here, I may bite the bullet and give her one of those. I'm not s-off, could that be the problem?
Edit: It let me flash the stock froyo image in HBOOT, but I'm still in the same place. Unrevoked doesn't see the phone.

On your pc with the phone plugged in go to device manager. At the top does it say android phone, and when you expand it android adb interface or composite interface?
Other than that im not sure what the issue could be. Now that the 2.2 ruu flashed, does it still bootloop? Mabey the cable or the usb port? Do other phones work with the cable, both charging and data?
I had the issue with not booting unless plugged in also. However, I was getting the 5 vibes.
Follow the 5 vibes of death tutorial up until it says your USB should be fixed and go from there. Which is a problem you're having if I'm understanding correctly.
That's my suggestion.

I finally threw in the towel and grabbed another Incredible from my drawer of phones. This one rooted just fine and she's playing with it as I write this. Is there a way to take a nandroid backup from the working phone and get it onto the non-working phone somehow?
