[Q] HTC Droid Incredible Bootup Freeze - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the HTC Incredible Droid from Verizon. I had rooted the phone and installed Myn's Warm Two Point Two on the device. Everything was working with out issue until the other day. I had made no changes but Monday evening my battery drained. I did not put the device on the charger so I had to charge it. When I turned it on it just kept going in a loop of the DROID Incredible screen and showing the Warm 2.2 screen. I got to work and tried to reinstall the OS on the device. Now it just sits at the Droid Incredible screen. What I am looking for is the Android 2.3.4 software for the Droid. I looked on here but I was unable to find anything. I would like to install Gingerbread but if I need to install a different version that's fine. Just looking for a little help and my friend Google was not very helpful. Maybe I typed in something wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

This rom looks like what your looking for + extras

Thank you very much. I am not going to lie. I did not expect this to work on my device. I actually thought I bricked it but it worked. Thanks

If this happens again. Boot into recovery and delete cache and davlik cache. Then reboot.

[Q] No power

I flashed the new radio package; as I have with the previous packages. Like an idiot I pulled my battery out when after reboot the triangle with the ! showed up. now it won't power on or get a charge light when plugged up. So I take it I truly bricked my phone. Is there any place that can fix it (not for free of course)?
Try plunging up using usb on pc .if not can you get into recovery mode? Almost impossible to really brick now a days.I had the same situation and had to recover into nandroid.time consuming but fixable..gl

Just let it sit on the charger for like 10 minutes then take it off then pull battery out for like 5 minutes then put the battery and charger in and try power and volume down. Hope that, works its what I did.
Swyped from Eva runoffing Myn's RLS4!
See if you can boot via advanced otherwise yeah you bricked the phone. Pulling thebattery at that point was how I bricked my first evo. I took it into the sprint store and told them what I did during an update which was true. They replaced my phone under warranty.
I did remove all incriminating files from my SD card such as roms.

Thanks for the ideas but, I did in fact brick my phone. I am just going to replace
Can't restore some Nadroids/flash certain roms
I have a couple of nandroids:
Warm RLS 3
Warm RLS 4
and roms:
Warm RLS 4
CM 6.1.1
I can successfully restore/flash RLS3 and CM 6.1.1, but when try restoring/flashing RLS4 it just hangs at the white HTC Evo 4G screen. There is no logcat activity.
I've tried every permutation of flashing RLS 4 that I can think off and still nothing.
Any ideas as to what's going on? I did update the the latest radio stuff to come out of the 3.7 OTA. I'm going to try downgrading that to see if it helps

[Q] Constant Reboot + 5 vibrate, green light

Hi everyone,
I got my HTC Incredible 4 months ago and been loving it but having a problem with it constantly rebooting lately. It has been resetting itself for a while now however it didn't really start constantly rebooting until I rooted it a few weeks ago via unrevoked.
At first I thought it was the apps so I deleted a whole bunch of them. It only seemed to reset when I tried to use the web browser. So I would do a battery pull and my droid would reset, the white HTC screen would appear and then go black, vibrate 5 times and then the green light would appear on top. I would keep on doing it until the phone would actually load which is very infrequently.
I tried doing a factory reset however, again when I got to the set up for my gmail, it would reset again.
Do you know if my HTC is bricked or is my SD card corrupt? How would I go about fixing it?
Thanks, I really appreciate your help
Have you done anything else to your phone since rooting? Have you installed a custom ROM? Radio? Kernel? Are you overclocking?
Did you run the unrevoked s-off tool? If so, does it still show s-off? There's several threads open where phones have mysteriously gone back to s-on, and are having problems with the sdcard and/or vibrating x times when turned on.
Have you tried another sdcard?

My post
Someone else's
strange that suddenly this is becoming an issue.
the post count is growing daily...
i wonder if this is a recovery issue? sticking with 2.5.0.5 just in case
It got you too. Man this is starting to get me worried. I've had this happen twice in the past 3 months. And now everyone else is getting it. It may be a corrupt SD card. I'd format the card and back it up before putting it into the new refurb. just get it back to stock and Verizon will replace it. I have a two year contract though, I don't know what I'm gunna do once the warranty is up. And that's two phones for just this issue. I've had blown speaker. twice. Trackpad problems. I hope the Thunderbolt is better cause I will most likely use an upgrade from my family plan for that phone.
BTW, to the OP, you can get the phone to boot with it plugged into power outlet.

Evo Issues Random Restarting and Freezing Power button not turning on Screen

I've been having issues with the phone turning off randomly and restarting, seems to do it when it gets hot. Also the phone not responding to power button. Doesn't matter which rom I flash it keeps happening. Thinking about converting back to stock to see if it helps. But I'm unsure why this started happening all the sudden any one else have similar issues??
How often is it happening? Often enough that you may be able to troubleshoot it? Such as.. turn of gps, mobile data, sync, then slowly add them back in one at a time to see what could be causing the problem.

Also, are you under clocking or over clocking your kernel?

My wife's Evo had that exact same problem, but hers is unrooted. We brought it into Sprint and she's getting a brand new phone tonight. They tried running diagnostics on it, but came up with nothing, so that was their last resort...
This seems to only happen to me on aosp roms and not sense.

[Q] My boot loops don't taste good...with or without milk...what is the reason?
My real questions are:
Has anybody experienced my experience and how did they solve the issue?
and
Can someone help me diagnose the issue?
I am seeking help on this topic also.
I have battled and one once before but don't know what was the actual fix.
I tried in the past, couple weeks ago, to upgrade to the new 2.3 roms and have had a lot of trouble with the ol' "random reboots". I don't recall what rom exactly that I tried to put on there but I don't believe that the rom was the issue in this situation do to flashing other roms and encountering the exact same reboot issues.
I originally undervolted using vipermod, updated to the new radios from the present "All Radios" post that was grouped together and then flashed a kernal over the rom that I was trying to use.
I got it booted up no problem, went through the setup and then when it was trying to get the reception and/or 3g established it rebooted...the white HTC boot screen appeared and rebooted over and over again.
I tried reflashing the rom, flashing a different rom and so on.
I sort of ruled out the radios after downgrading them and not getting any different results and started to think it was an overheating issue because when I would leave it off for a while it would work longer before the boot party began.
I read something on another thread that when you remove the battery for so long and boot it back up, it clears the internal memory or something similar to that. I searched the market for a boot logger program and found bootlog, I believe that was the name, and checked the log after pulling the battery and letting it boot up all the way. After reviewing the log I noticed that it had stuff like lowmem, deathpening, killing and what not. I then came to the conclusion that it was more than likely the memory, not a clue if it is internal or talking about the temporary stuff that it may store on the sdcard.
I then decided to check out the partitioning of the sdcard. I decided to raise the swap to something like 1 gig and the ext to 2 gig.
I loaded up CM7, nothing extra, and all was good besides maybe one or two reboots that ended up booting all the way up instead of doing the loop at the white HTC screen.
But now, I followed the instructions that was left on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071547&page=1161 (no blame to the post or rom, just a reference) so I can try out a new sense rom...and...if you don't know by now...mayhem/boot loops. I cannot upload any of the logs because I followed the partition instructions.
I have upgraded and downgraded the PRI and the radios with no luck, I am now going to try the partition swap size again and report back.
I am writing this prior so I can get some helpful suggestions coming my way in the mean time, in case me and the Captain can't make this happen, or be able to post my method to fix my scenario so others may benefit.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I have S-OFF, HBOOT 0.97, radio 2.15.00.11.19
I still have been having tons of issues and I've gone back to roms I ran 6 months ago n still having the same problem. It just randomly shuts off and turns back on sometimes like 5 or 6 times in a row. This is getting very frustrating I'm gonna have to put it back to stock and take it in. I want to smash my evo with a hammer and then blow torch the sh*t out of it.
I'm having the same problem, only with the Inspire 4G though. I notice mine only happens when the screen turns off.. I'm thinking mine might be an underclocking issue or something because if I have an unread message or if the led is on or flashing at all, it works fine.. Wait, no, it just did it again fml
This is why I dont want to upgrade my radios, you say you ruled out those, but your phone is still jackin up on old roms.
It jus seems I never see an issue that cant be solved by reflashing the rom or a redownload the rom and flash, unless......you mess with the radios, then u get issues like this..im no expert, but this is what I see.
....Radios scare me!
If it was me I would proly unroot it and bring it in, or
Copy SD card to your PC.
Format SD.
Run an RUU that matches your original radios.
Copy SD card data back.
Re-root.
Should be brand new then....
EDIT: Scratch that I wouldnt unroot and bring it in. Easier to runn the RUU like I said

Never flashed a radio unless a rom came packaged with one... Couldn't tell you which one because I've flashed a bunch already seeing if that was the problem or not. I'm partitioning my SD card right now to see if that helps.. Oh, and I bought my phone off eBay cause AT&T sucks at life and it's not a year wait anymore to upgrade. God how I miss Cingular.
Think i figured it out on my end... I don't think my phone likes to be underclocked so I bumped up the mhz a little for screen off and I haven't had a problem yet

Please help! My Galaxy Nexus is stuck at boot animation

I got my Galaxy Nexus 3-4 days back and have been using it pretty nicely. Suddenly today while activating bluetooth via an application called 'Notification Toggle', my phone crashed and the boot animations begun to come up.
The animation were taking a lot of time so I pulled the battery out, re-inserted it but was still stuck at the boot animation.
Then I charged my phone for about 45 minutes - 1 hour, tried booting up again but still stuck at that animation.
I am from India and the Galaxy Nexus is not launched here officially so it's not even under warranty.
Please help me, what can I do? I'm really worried and don't have much knowledge about Android (as this is my first Android phone).
My phone is running Android 4.0.4 ICS and is GSM unlocked.
I request any of you to please post a detailed solution so that I can get my phone up and running. I'm fine if there is any sort of data loss but I'll prefer to have my data restored.
Thanks in advance.
I wouldn't say that I've been experiencing the same problem as you described. Meanwhile, before Droid I was using IPhone 3G. And I can say that several times both of phones were completely stuck for lot's of hours or even a day/night without any reasons. But then, they become alive again without any sign of what has happened. I'm not experienced technically, but I think that each system has it's own recovery settings which continue to work even when system is off. Or when the system couldn't repair itself it's just restarting after sometime. If you bought your Nexus officially, and it's not have been used and "raped", then I think it should be back soon.

Is it unlocked or rooted? if so I would recomend using fastboot to restore it to complete stock condition. If not..... I have no clue
Are you rooted or have a custom recovery? If so, just wipe data and reflash your current ROM.
If your phone is bone stock, you will more than likely have to download the device's stock fast boot images and flash them.
I'm not sure how this will affect your unlocked radio. Maybe someone else can help you from here.

Bricked Incredible 2

Well guys, I want to start with I hope this is the right section.
So anyway I have a little problem here. I have an old HTC Droid Incredible 2, that I rooted years ago. Well a few years ago when this was my daily driver, it displayed an error picture. Because it was so long I don't remember what it was, but I do remember I pulled the battery, and rebooted and all went well for a couple days until it did it again. Repeat process and it happened again and again, until it eventually got to the point where it won't boot. I can get it to boot to the HTC screen, but it locks there. I can get to the boot loader, and go to recovery, then it takes me to clockword Mod. I then tried to boot recovery with that, but every time it tries to boot it locks at the HTC screen. I have also tried to load two different versions of CM on. One said it was successful, but nothing changed, and the other one just plain failed. One last thing I want to add is that when the phone is off the orange/red light in the speaker lights up if plugged in like it's charging. But once it's powered on it no longer does that and the USB is not detected. Is there anyway somebody can help me I really miss this phone, and hate my iPhone.
