Hi - posted this elsewhere but really need help.
First off - I think I made a serious of noob mistakes that have resulted in my problem. I desperately want to be able to recover my phone, so please be nice.
I have a rooted incredible with the leaked 2.05 OTA radio update and have been running Cyanogenmod 6 rc3 and then 6.0. This morning I tried updating to 6.0.1 but for some reason it didn't update. It kept rebooting to 6.0 and telling me I needed to update again.
I decided to just unroot the phone and go back to stock to take advantage of the stock 2.2 update. I put the earlier 2.1 stock file on my SD card and pressed power and volume down to boot into recovery. The phone then started to update to the older version, but ultimately wouldn't do it, telling me this was an older version.
I realized this was because of the leaked radio update I had. Until I can fix that, I want to just reboot back into CM6, but I can't. The only way to turn the phone on and off is to pull the battery, but the phone won't boot, it just goes into recovery -- and I can't use the volume or power buttons at all to select menu items. So I have to pull the battery again...
So I'm stuck there. Any ideas how to at least fix so I can use CM6 again?
I should also mention that I recently replaced the digitizer, which was cracked, and almost everything works, except now I can't use the trackball

If it is u could run the new ruin from hboot. This will give u stock 2.2 and stock recovery. But you'll be able to flash clockworkmod again.

Nope, s-on.
Is there a way to make it s-off in this state? I'd be happy to just get it into stock 2.2. Thanks.
Hiya,
Firstly, yes, I did a search. Here's my problem.
I used unrevoked and rooted my phone, so I could remove bloatware, tether etc. I then installed the hydra kernel to OC to 1.113 (stock volt), and this worked fine too. Couple weeks passed, everything's dandy, and today I decided to give Cyanogenmod 6.1 a try. So I get that up and running and decide that I like the Sense UI better, so I go into the ROM Manager app and tried to restore a backup that I made before installing the ROM. So the phone restarted, and then displayed the HTC Incredible logo and it stayed there.
I waited 30 minutes, pulled the battery, tried to boot. Same thing.
I held down vol down and went into HBOOT, and selected recovery. I get the black screen with vertical white lines on the sides. Waited thirty minutes, no change.
I then tried to reset factory settings through main HBOOT menu. Got the black screen with white stripes again.
So, it appears I bricked my phone. My theory is that the space on my SD card was too low and when I did the backup not all the information was saved, and when the phone tried to reset it pooped out, on account of the fact that the restore data was incomplete.
Thoughts? I do have the Best Buy warranty on this thing, so I'm wondering how that could offer some sort of solution (although I am pretty sure they will not like the fact that it has been rooted..). So in summary: Halp!!
Thanks yall.

Hater of Mayonnaise,
Have you ever been inside the recovery, working? I'm guessing no. The screen you described is an older clockwork recovery on an incompatible LCD screen. Try one of the newer recoveries. 2.5.1.2 should work work, as well as BAMod, and I believe Doug piston has one up. Rename the file to the proper PB31IMG.zip format and load from HBOOT. After that, look for your backup or install a new ROM.
You're not bricked till the phone doesn't turn on.

Yes I've been in it many times. When I first tried (while rooting my phone) I had the same thing happen, but I got the newer recovery or something (I forget what I did) and it went away. Why would this problem come back?
Maybe koush didn't fix the new one, so when you upgraded it broke. Go back to the older one that did work and all is dandy.

my phone has the andorid in the middle of the screen and says touch to continue. gives this error android .process.acore when android is touched. can only dial 911.
Since you didn't do a backup, make sure you do a complete wipe. If necessary, do a RUU and try again.

Try going into the phone from safe mode. It might help you figure out if its the rom or an app on the rom.

It isn't the radio you need to flash. An RUU is a stock rom as delivered by HTC. Try one of these.

Sounds like you may need to reflash recovery too.
Edit: On second thought, you're recovery is probably ok. I was getting your problem confused with the original poster's problem.

Hello everyone,
I just want to say I did not make this thread prematurely. Iv had this current issue for over a month. Iv talked to various people on here and other related forums and tried everything others have suggested with nothing working, So I come here to hopefully, somehow, get an answer or a fix.
I've had my Evo since Feb, rooted almost immediately and have been trying different roms ever since. Yet I always found myself going back to CM. Well just recently, Iv run into a problem where ALMOST every rom I try to flash, it gets stuck at the white htc evo 4g screen, constantly rebooting over and over. I actually waited once for hours to see if it eventually would go into the rom but it didnt. Iv tried battery pulls, clearing cache and davlich, nothing works.
Here is what works with no issues that iv tried: Any CM, Miui, Mikfroyo, MikZ, Myns, MynsZ
WHat iv tried and does not work:Mikg, Virus, Kings, Leo, Alliance, Stock Gb,
Btw, I was originally using clockwork and was told to go to Amon Ra(latest version yes)-
Heres what exactly happens:
I download the rom, which Iv tried from my phone and my pc both. Put it on root of sd. reboot into recovery. Wipe: Cache,Davlick,Boot,System,Sd ext.,Data,Sd secure, All userdata/factory reset in that order and sometimes 2 and 3 times. I then flash the rom. The screen shows the progress of the installation of w/e rom it is, always says complete or successful. Reboot.
Almost immediately Shows the screen with the squigley colored lines then after a second or 2, phone vibrates, reboots right to white evo 4g screen. Sits on that screen for approx.10-15 seconds, vibrates goes black for 2-3 seconds and then back to the white evo 4g screen and it does this over and over til im forced to pull the battery. Very VERy frustrating.
I was told maybe the links of the downloads were bad so i tried multiple downloads of the same zip. I was told to check to see if the md5 sum thing matched, it did. I was told to download sd formatter, did that. I was told to update all the latest radios,prl,ext.
I do not know a whole lot about this but Im thinking that every Gb rom i try doesnt work. With the exception of 2 Aosp roms(cm and miui). I could be way off here but im just throwing that out there.
One thing I will mention. In the middle of trying to figure all this out, I deleted my sd card when trying to wipe. Now what is important is this issue was def. happening before I ever made this mistake. SO maybe its a moot point, I just want to mention everything.
Im hoping, praying that some of you MUCH more knowledgeable flashmatics can point me in the right direction because Iv been pulling my hair out for over a month trying everything I can read or was told to come to a conclusion as to why this would be happening.
Thank you for your time. Its much appreciated.

You are the only response Iv gotten so i thank you.
Someone else mentioned this.
So I downloaded: Htc kernel #15
WHat I did was flash the rom(had been various ones) then flashed this kernel, rebooted, same result. Is this what you mean?
Have youve ever even heard of this? WHere every froyo rom iv tried works, 2 specific gb roms work(CM and miui) yet various other(gb) will not work.
Has anyone EVER heard of anything like this?
What hboot version?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
My suggestion is go completely stock. Unroot with a 3.70 RUU and then root your phone again. Start from scratch and then load up or attempt to load up one of the Sprint Lovers rom and see what happens. Maybe just maybe you had a bad root. I do recommend Amon as well though.
Or try this get Caulkins wipe all zip and format your phones harddrive and load up Sprint Lovers and see what happens
I would recommend flashing the kernel first before the ROM,however,since you can successfully flash froyo ROMS,playa may be right and you should try running the ruu and starting over.I was thinking the problem was an incompatibility between an ASOP ROM and a Sense kernel but doesn't hold water if you can get froyo based ROMS to boot up.

Not a problem. Turn your phone off and hold the power button and the volume down button. This will take you to the bootloader screen. The hboot and radio versions should be at the top. I'm betting your hboot is .76
I had the same issue that you did and nothing worked, I was unable to flash any new GB Rom besides cm. I tried flashing stock, using multiple versions of clockwork and amon ra. Nothing worked, updating my hboot to the latest version fixed my issue, I'm guessing its something to do with the hboot version and hardware combination. You may lose fastboot commands, if you're unsure of what those commands are I doubt you'll miss them. And recent developments have allowed for downgrading of hboot. I'll dig the link up for the latest hboot.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7027238
I personally flashed the 2.02 hboot for downgradability. I'd avoid 2.16 since it is so new and I've heard of issues after flashing. Anything prior to that should be fine.

I was having the same problem htcevo4g03 was having and I had hboot 0.76.2000. Here is what I did:
Made a nandroid backup
Using rom manager I downgraded to clockworkmod 2.5.0.7
Downloaded hboot 2.10.0001 under Evo Stock and Radios
Wiped data and cache (I don't know is this is necessary but probably not a bad idea)
Flashed hboot 2.10.0001
Downloaded and flashed fresh evo 4.2 (a rom that wouldn't flash before) via recovery and it worked!

Hey Man,
I haven't tried anything yet but im going to this morning.
Looking at the bootloader screen, says:
Supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.10.001
MICROP-041f
RADIO-2.15.00.05.02
Ok so I should download anything prior to 2.16 and flash like a rom?
Thoughts after youve seen my version?

If you read my op, I mentioned someone told me to dl sd formatter on my pc which I went through the steps and it didnt work.
Hey man If you get a chance please read my op, this is prob going on a month and a half and no fix to this point. I would have though if I brought the issue here, it would be resolved like that but it hasnt. Iv tried everything ppl have thrown at me and not a thing has worked. Other than froyo roms and 2 gb roms(cm7/miui), cannot getting anything to work. Ill flash a rom, it always says successful I reboot, turns to the white screen and gets stuck, rebooting over and ove, always back to the white screen and Im forced with a battery pull to do anything else. AMAZING!
If you can just look over the OP maybe just maybe you might have something you think could work.
The very last thing i tried, in which 2 ppl said they were having the same issue, was to downgrade the Hboot. I did this and it didnt work. SO frustrating.
The one thing I did not try that was said to do was unroot, go back to stock, and root again.
SO lost here. Again thanks for contributing to this thread.

Same situation here now
So.. i'm in basically the same situation.. with a wrinkle.
I just tried.. about 8 roms.. ALL of them get stuck on the white screen
Except.. CM 7.0.3.1.. that seems to install
Any thoughts on what the heck that could be?
Roms I tried:
miui
warm 2.2
calkins new one
kings 3d
fresh 4.2
I agree... unroot, run the s-on tool form unrevoked.
run the RUU for your phone
re-root
flash Amon Ra recovery and try a new ROM
Hey hip,
OK if I have to start from scratch I will. But since I'm a super noob, can you please be a little more specific on the steps I have to take? I don't know much about s-off and s-on tool and also what ruu is. If you can just point me in the right direction then I can follow the directions.
And ty for your time

I can't really do anything with this phone right now. Every single rom, including stock rom, gets stuck in a bootloop. This is after wiping everything. I tried changing up the radios. I tried changing recoveries (RA 2.3, 1.8 and a few Clockworks). Tried PRI/NV changes. Nothing works. Tried booting with no SD card. Same problem, no matter what. I even tried to go s-on and flash an RUU. S-on didn't work, and the RUU has the same bootloop situation.
The Story:
Two days ago, I got a refurb 0002 Evo to replace a 0004 that had screen issues...I promptly rooted the new Evo, with revolutionary.
I tried to install CM 7.1, which worked fine on my previous evo. I wiped like normal and installed it...I got it running but it was randomly rebooting every so often.
I couldn't solve the problem, and decided to try downgrading the radios on teh new phone to what I had on the old phone, where CM 7 worked. This is when it started bootlooping. Flashing the 2.15.00.0808 radios, which the phone had originally, has not helped.
Any ideas? I have tried stock, fresh, miui, CM 7.1, CM 7.03 all multiple times. The phone is HBOOT 6.16, radio 2.15.00.808, PRI/NV 2.15.
IIRC you can't downgrade your radio. The newer radio versions wont allow downgrading. There have been a lot of people having the bootloop problem. And most of them seem to be running CM7. Not sure if you're in the bootloop of death or not. Hopefully someone else can chime in with more experience concerning this issue.

Idk why people are getting bootloops. Been on CM7 since 'nam and I'm currently on the same radio as the op for couple months now, and haven't experienced any issues.
I'd true flashing/using amon ra , EVERYTHING besides the sd card [wipe especially the boot and system] and try reflashing.

I'm not sure either. I've been using CM7 damn near since it came out for the Evo. I've never had any issues with bootlooping.

Nope, its read only. You can flash the NV like you do radios, though changing them, no.
That's lame
Update
Ok, I made some progress. Thanks for the help.
I flashed a new RUU and got myself back to a working ROM. However, the phone still randomly reboots.
I think that this is a hardware issue and not a result of something I did, as it was present in CM 7.1 when I first rooted the phone and before I did anything firmware related.
My plan is to return the phone as defective refurb since I only got it two days ago. To do that, I need to get S-on.
I've tried a couple of times with the gingerbread s-on tool, but it doesn't seem to work. Do you guys have any ideas about that? I've read all the threads about it, and people seem to suggest just running the tool a billion times until it works.

Well, I'm not sure if I managed to downgrade my radio or not. It showed it was downgraded in the HBOOT. In any case, I now have a 2.15.00.05.02 radio due to the RUU I flashed.

To get s-on, you need to check your bootloader version, so you know what method to use.
I got s-on...not sure what I was doing wrong before but the revolutionary s-on tool worked. Maybe I was just tired. Flashed a PC36IMG.zip that had the tool, and it put s-on for me.
Should I flash another RUU? Also, do you think that the random reboots must be some kind of hardware issue?

Well you should be stock now. Go a day on stock, take an OTA, and see if you get reboots. If so, you can rule it to be hardware.
What did you wipe between flashes? I wipe everything in the amon 2.3 wipe menu except sdcard. Never had a problem. Btw Idk what it is with cyanogen 7.1 but for me it was buggy rebooted every 20 min and force closes like it was its day job. But I have been running decks 1.3 which is based off of cm7.1 and its perfect in everyway. So.... might want to try this rom if you haven't. Just throwing it out there
Edit: nvm didn't see that you unrooted... my bad haha

I've been curious about the CM7 thing myself, as per the number of people that have gotten boot loops of death.
It may not even be due to CM7 and running it on those particular phones, but it is odd that so many cases have been while people were using that ROM

Yeah its pretty odd. Considering that the nightly builds were usually rock solid.

Did you get it to work and not bootloop finally? I'm trying to fix my friends evo and it keeps doing the same thing. His was stock and just started doing it all of a sudden, so maybe it is a hardware issue.
Okay, so I'm brand new to this board, so I appreciate any input you can give. I have an HTC Droid Incredible, have had it over a year. Have had the phone replaced 3 times due to excessive rebooting.
I have the OEM HTC extended battery, and have had numerous issues on the battery overheating and rebooting the phone. It seems to happen mostly when using the GPS in the car. Its also happened while excessively texting.
After having the phone replaced three times, I decided to root, and am now on CM7. It was working fine for a couple weeks, then rebooted again. I then took the phone to the Verizon store, and they replaced the battery. The phone still tends to reboot!
Please give me any advice you guys might have. I'm at my wits end here!
Again, Dinc, rooted, on GB, and using CM7.
Thanks!
Undervolt. Use incredikernel and incredicontrol. Drop the minium 25 or 50 and do the same to the Max.
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
Thanks so much, but I have no idea what you're talking about. I downloaded Incredikernel, and it bricked my phone....Any other ideas?

It bricked your phone? Can you give some more details at to what happened?
It just came back on the "HTC Incredible" white screen and did nothing. Had to reboot, and restore.
Well at least your phone isn't "Bricked". If it was your phone would not work period. How long did you let the phone sit? I'm running CM and I have Chad's latest Incredikernel and it runs like a champ! I'm assuming you are running the latest AOSP kernel correct?
I have no idea what an AOSP Kernel is, so I highly doubt I am. Last night, I had my phone in my hand for a few minutes, when to download something from the App Market, and it kept resetting. Do you think I might need to uninstall and re-install the App Market? I'm at a loss here...
CM is an AOSP Rom and needs an AOSP Kernel to run not the sense kernel. If u go to the downloads section at incredikernel.com you will see the AOSP Kernels. Download the latest version and flash it when you reboot just set the phone down and be patient. As far as the app that you installed, what app was it? You can uninstall the app and see if that fixes ur reboots

I downloaded the kernel, and when I went to flash it from the sd card, I still get the same thing. The white "htc Incredible" screen comes on and nothing else. I've let it run for 10 minutes, then I have to pull the battery and the restore to my last backup. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks again for your patience, I'm just a little retarded when it comes to this stuff...Btw, I like your sig, I actually sell Jager, so I truly appreciate it!
I just wanted to bump this back up to the top to see if anyone else has any ideas. I did a restore to when I first rooted the phone, and everything seemed fine. However, last night, I was watching a couple Youtube videos, and in about 5 minutes the phone reset.
I have tried to flash kernels, but cannot figure that out, so I'm still using the stock kernel from CM7. PLEASE help, I'm beyond clueless, and am about to throw this phone out the window!
Thanks in advance!
If you are flashing the latest AOSP (Gingerbread) Incredikernel it should work. You can try wiping your dalvik cache in CWM and then flash the kernel again. I have read in many posts that people have waited up 15 minutes after flashing a kernel for there phone to boot. Try that and be patient.
ok so the reason why incredicontrol didnt work is because the stock kernel doesnt have HVAS. so do this.
download :http://www.incredikernel.com/wp-con...php?id=2.6.38.8-incredikernel-gb-11272011.zip
also can you tell me which hBOOT you are running and what radio you have.
to find out what hBOOT you are running please turn of the phone.
once off hold power and vol -
at the top left of the screen please post all that is there.
for radio go into settings > about phone > Baseband Version
please post this info.
boot into CWM do not use rom manager to install.
flash zip above.
reboot and wait. it should take up to 2 min for the phone to rebuild dalvik and boot into the os.
then install incredibcontrol from market.
go to the HVAS tab and lower min by 25 and max by 25.
reboot.
report back please
(note the instructions above will only work for CM7.)
Wow, thanks for all that info! I'm working on installing that kernel now, but before I do anything, I am on Baseband version 2.15.00.07.28
It also says:
Incrediblec XC Ship S-Off
HBOOT-0.92.0000
Mircrop-0417
Touch Panel-ATMEL224_16ab
Radio-2.15.00.07.28

I will report back later on with my progress.
Thanks again!

What happens when you try to go in recovery (CWM)? Don't freak out, if you can't get into recovery you may just need to reflash it. This can be done with Rom Manager or Hboot.
Also you need to update your radio to a Gingerbread radio if you are using CM7. That is more than likely the reason your phone stays on the HTC screen after you flash the Incredikernel. If you have never updated your radio do some research first or just ask and I'll help you thru it.
I have to research the new radio... I was trying to backup from rom manager, and it still stuck on the white screen. Any suggestions on the new radio? I had no clue that it had to do that as well.

Go here http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=18 and download the 2.15.10.07.07 (Gingerbread) radio. All you need to do is name the file PB31IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card, basically not in any folder. Just to be safe make sure you don't have any other PB31IMG files on the root of your SD card. Then go into Hboot (Volume down = Power button), just wait (like 5-10 seconds) and you will see that it will auto load the file. When it is ready it will ask you if you will like to install, accept by pressing the volume up button. Let it do its thing, when its done it'll ask you if you want to reboot, hit the volume up button to say yes. Make sure you have a good charge or leave it plugged in to your charger. After you do this wait and see if the phone boots properly, wait like 10 minutes or so. Let me know how that goes...
I'm at a loss here...I did just what you said, and when I get into Hboot, nothing happens....I really don't know what else to do. Is there any way to un-root the phone, and start from scratch? At this point, I cannot get into CWM, and cannot revert back to a restore, so what are my options?
Is your SD card in FAT32 format? You can check on you pc/laptop, just right click on it go to properties. If it is not in FAT32 format you will need to reformat your SD card. Before you reformat it copy everything from your card and paste it to a folder on your desktop. Then reformat your SD card to FAT32, then paste everything back to your card. This could be why your phone is not loading the PB31IMG file (The radio you are trying flash in Hboot).
Ok, stupid me renamed it .zip, as opposed to not...got the radio on there, but still cannot get it to boot into CWM. I feel I'm making a little progress. However, when I go to into Hboot, it still comes up asking if I want to upgrade the radio...It shows Radio 2-15.10.07.07
