I tried to go back to unroot and stock HTC rom, Flashed wrong ROM, downloaded BOTH, now, phone vibrates one time (like its supposed to), but the screen does not work. Charge light does not work as far as I can tell so far.
Is there any way to get this back working or is it pretty much gone?
Edit: Charge light comes on..
Can you get into recovery through Hboot? Power it on while holding down the volume down button and see if Hboot loads.

Nope, I downloaded two recovery images. One for SLCD sreen and one for the other screen. I looked, and apparently flashed the wrong one. I get just a black screen.
So, you can't get to recovery, not even Hboot? If Hboot is black, I don't know if there is much you can do...

If I cant get HBoot to open..or anything for that matter, will verizon be able too? I took it to the store, told the guy very simply "the screen wont show up and nothing happens besides the single vibrate (as usual) on start-up). They hooked it to something...had the phone for about 20 minutes. Then came back and told me they ordered another one...
Edit: Once the recovery image flashed, Hboot came back up initially. S-ON was displayed. S-ON was the one thing I am glad happened.! lol
LOL, I hear you, I had a similar issue with my PSP a few years back. was getting random memory errors, and crash to reboot. I had enough sense to flash it back to stock fw, before bringing it back in. it crashed around 78% thru the stock fw flash. So that was kinda a godsend, since the only data they will be able to get off of it if they try, is stock.
Well your issue was the image you flashed. You went to unroot and flash a stock 2.1 ROM. Although this sounds correct, there is a problem. The stock 2.1 ROM was made for the release DInc's, and those, my friend, come AMOLED. So by flashing that stock 2.1 ROM, it does not contain the correct hardware drivers to support the newer batch of DInc, the SLCD.
What you could have done was:
Download the correct ROM that supports the SLCD from here (which can be found on http://dougpiston.com
Place that file in the root of your sdcard.
Now since your phone's display doesnt work, like you said it vibrates once, like normal, your phone still functions properly.
Boot your phone into HBOOT and allow it a few minutes, like normal to find this PB31IMG.zip file. It then will prompt you to press UP to confirm the update or press DOWN to not update. (you will not see this, but if you have flashed a radio then you know this process)
when you press up, it will then start updating to the stock ROM. however, you wont see any of this. just a black screen.
allow that to run, usually for 10 minutes. to be safe wait 15-18 minutes and then press UP. When the update is complete you are asked to reboot. UP for yes DOWN for no. again you will not see this. Then when it reboots....you will be happy and see the HTC Incredible white screen
It got me too, same thing you did. Just dug around and figured it out.

Thanks for posting this. I would push thanks but I'm on my phone. All to often people run into this exact situation and don't realize there phone is still working normal. They just don't know it because of the black screen. For future reference those are great instructions.

i ask as i updated my radio last night for the 1st time in aaages and the phone turns on etc as you'd expect. since then though (this morning) i've had random reboots. i've got recovery images of different roms and both do the same.
i tried a clean install of a new rom and it reboots while installing, i try to install again and this time it gets to the "press on the droid" option when it reboots again.

Weird..did u try flashing a different radio?
not yet. in work for a while longer. the only other thing i can see it being, is the kernels in the rom i'm using now, using too little voltage.
might try flashing a different kernel
I have had this problem before & as has been suggested a different radio did solve the problem. Hope it turns out something as simple for you.
As a last resort try wiping and flashing an RUU, that will replace the kernel, radio and rom
yea, had a thought on doing that too. grabbed 2 of em (not sure which i need) but today it's not rebooting
ok, somethings gone real wrong now. cant do anything more than go into fastboot. recovery causes a reboot with 7 vibrations on the boot screen and it wont go past it. i can go into fastboot/fastboot usb and that's it.
how do you flash a ruu now? i found a guide but it refers to downloading .zip images and putting em on an sdcard? i could only see .exe ruus
Just run the ruu exe while your phone is connected in fastboot. Do you have the ruu that was originally on the phone?

trying it now. got the ruu downloaded. tried it before but got some funky errors
phones doing some funky stuff at the mo. if this works (i hope) then i can use unrevoked and then alpharev to get root/s-off later again yea?
ta mate
Yeah, you can do that.

Dunno but I guess you're relieved

i am, but tried 2 pcs and my netbook, installed usb drivers off their site but just cant get unrevoked working for my desire.
off to try the old goldcard method
odd, even the goldcard tool didnt work. did a year or so ago when i 1st rooted. had to go old school on this thing.
edit
and after several tries, alpharev doesnt work
cant make the phone reboot when it needs to. worked last time with opendesire with no probs at all. no joy with oxygen though, or the default sense rom
ok, thanks to the forum, i've got opendesire installed now and i think somethings up. after an install (clean) it locked. hard. 3 finger salute didn't reboot the phone and had to pull the batt out (other roms caused reboots instead). i decided to take the sim out - and nothing. no more locks/reboots at all.
i'm gonna try the sim in another phone tonight and see what happens.
something very off with this phone.

I had this problem after I flashed a radio. I ended up sending it back to O2 due to a corrupt radio/cpu stack on the actual device.
UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS POST. I HAVE INCLUDED MUCH MORE DETAIL AS TO WHAT IS WRONG NOW. ANY HELP PLEASE?:
I am stuck in HBOOT currently, Ship s-off and of course my phone is rooted. What happened was my battery died sometime on the weekend and i tried turning it on to see the HBOOT screen. None of the buttons were responding when being pressed, not even the Vol. down + Power button was working... It randomly after a day decided to turn back on, then the next day i was at college and my battery went dead again and i'm now back at the HBOOT screen. I should have kept a check on it but i wasn't aware it would happen for a second time. Anyway...
I downloaded the PD98IMG.zip file and placed it on my goldcard (i'm on T-mobile) and attempted to re flash my device via the phone and left it for 6 hours or so whilst sleeping last night as it said it was parsing files. It sat on the same screen for the whole of the time. Tried flashing via my mac with instructions from a previous thread followed everything correct apart from putting into fastboot as i couldn't select it and thought it was worth a shot anyway Anyway, I came back with a message in terminal saying 'sending 'radio' (24960 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))'... As you could see it said failed. quite fed up now after looking for solutions since monday and i was hoping someone could come up with a fix :/.
If anyone knows whats going on with my DHD let me know ASAP. I am 95% sure its not bricked as its charging and turning on to HBOOT.
THANKS!!!!!
have you pulled the battery? thats what I normally do
Have you switched it back on without the charger plugged in?
Well i eventually got it working some how just after i posted this, but now it has just gone off again! It seems to be every time my battery goes completely dead. I plug it in, turn it on and Hboot screen pops up and repeats the same process each time, i dont know how to stop it doing this and i generally don't know how to get it back on.
I tried the ideas suggested but i've tried these previously and tried them again but no luck... One thing now though, my volume down button doesn't respond. If there is no fix i guess i'll just have to watch my battery usage but if anyone can suggest anything i can do to get it straight back on that would be great
I actually really need my phone to work right now , it ain't happening though, its been on hboot all day once again, it happens when the battery runs out, i press the power button and doesn't even vibrate or anything of the sort, just sits there and then pops up with the green writing after like 5 seconds saying:
SD Checking...
No image
Loading... (PD98IMG)
No image or wrong image
It says something like that, its only very briefly though. If anyone knows what i mean.... my phones on t-mobile so i made a goldcard so i could flash some roms, would that have anything to do with it?
THANKS!
Hi,
What info do you see in bootloader.
SHIP S-ON/OFF or ENG S-OFF
And have you performed Radio S-OFF?

Yea i have ship s-off, which is shown. I can't press the volume buttons on the h-boot screen to scroll through menu either just to add... DO you actually have any clue what this may be?
Yeah, you've messed up your handset.
Letting your battery run completely flat will damage your battery. It shouldn't however harm your handset.
What I'd recommend doing, as you already have a goldcard, download the 1.32.405.6 PD98IMG.zip put that on your card and boot into bootloader. Follow the prompts and restore your handset.
Oh my battery is fine, i know for future reference to not let it run completely dry! will that mean i won't have the rom, which i previously flashed? Do i put the PD98IMG file on the goldcard or on my normal sd that i am currently using?
There is something wrong with your phone. When your battery dies your handset shouldn't lock you in HBOOT.
Put the PD98IMG.zip on your goldcard. You will lose everything that is not backed up.
Its your call, stay stuck in HBOOT or try to recovery it.
I'll give it a try and let you know the out come, thabks! By the way, after this wht should i do to get miui back up and running, the sme as what i previously did ?
I'll go for the recovery of course haha... Thanks anyway though, i'll give it a shot and see how it goes down . I'll let you know if i have any success!
How long does it take for it to Parse the package? it automatically started doing it so.
Update: Well I have had this going for quite some time now and its continued to show the following...
Parsing...(SD ZIP)
Bootloader

Would really appreciate any help ASAP as to why this has just been in the same position for quite some time, obviously something is not right?
Im guessing this isn't very common is it? nobody seems to know what to do
wow.. stuck in the same situation... ive rooted and unlocked my partners DHD from telus... just about a week ago, it just suddenly went to the white HBOOT screen. Since then, ive been able to somehow get into clockwork by pulling the battery out, plugging in the usb cable, then inserting the batter, it would somehow take me to the clockwork mods menu screen. I was using an outdated version tho. I would be able to reboot from that menu which would start regularly booting the phone. One interesting thing tho is that the volume - button stopped working around that time.... Ive been pulling my hair out trying to make a goldcard (did it once, but havent been able to do it since i started trying again) so i can reflash the stock telus ruu. For some reason, the goldcard program im using isnt finding the mm2... just the mm1 and mm0... any ideas why? im formating a 8gb class 4 micro sd card... fat32, ive tried 32 and 64kb sector sizes... any suggestions?

I´m in the same situation.I think the PD98IMG file don´t match with previously installed ROM (radio,hboot?)...I come from a MIUI ROM,android 2.3.4 version.
I´m proudly to inform you that I did it!
All the thing was (I think) the ROM manager who flashed a wrong recovery.
How I recovered it?
Without adb drivers,without goldcard,without downgrade.
Simply I downloaded a PD98IMG file,I unzipped it and I changed the recovery.img with a 3.0.2.6 recovery version.Ahh,I deleted the radio.img,too(I don´t know if matter or not).After this,I zipped the files again and I renamed the file to PD98IMG.Copy to sdcard,wait to process PD98IMG and finally the power and volume buttons revives!
Good bye!
ok guys i'm new to the Incredible section but do know my way around android (HTC Thunderbolt,DroidX,D2G,OG,Samsung Capt..,Samsung Charge) I'll start by what i got.
I snaged a phone off ebay that claimed it worked but rebooted..(ok so do most androids) but taking out and reinserting the battery would fix it..(not so) it's a brick style loop....have only seen the desktop 1 time then instant crash...i'm stuck at the htc incredible screen....
so having this happen to me in the past on my others i went into the bootloader to try a recovery/factory reset....but no recovery will pop instead back to my loop.
OK next i searched the net to see about a salution...but all requires root which i DON"T have, the phone is S-ON and looks to be running Radio 2.15.10.07.07
and from what i've read there is no fix right now...
Still tring new things...I found that if i reflash the Ruu it sometimes works perfectly and others it Fails?? on the Radio. when it passes the phone reboots and loops in a wierd pattern starting with a fast loop (5 sec) then a slow(20 sec) and does it randomly after that till it finnaly just sticks in a Long loops and the only way to get them fast again is to reflash that Ruu......well just finished a Failed flash and clicked Volume up to restart...now just black LOL i think it just died...no Bootloader even....will report back if it changes.
things i've tried....Everything in bootloader (all in loops)
tried reflashing the Ruu via PB31IMG.zip for the OTA since i'm on it anyways..
anyways the seller is saying Sold AS-IS and i think it's crap because the item does not match the box Meid hex: even tho he said it came in the box...so anything i can do guys?
I did notice a weird pattern that it does tho....after installing the .zip ruu it will reboot fast (5 sec) then Slow (20 sec) and kind of flip flop till finally nothing but long restarts, even after pulling battery....the only way to get the short restarts back is to reflash the Ruu again..
ok might be closing this soon...things have gone from bad to F*^K my life.....reflashed the RUU agian and it failed on the Radio (has been doing that Sometimes, hit and miss) and said update failed Volume up to restart...now i have no bootloader or charge indicator...think it died now.
Bet you get your money back if you follow eBay & or Paypal dispute methods to the T.
kinda seems like the same problem as in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1247790
no solution though, can see what was tried.
Have you tried hooking your phone up to your computer and running the Verizon Froyo RUU to see if it will fix it? I have had that fix many issues in the past. From what you said, it has the most recent radio in it so it was probably being messed with.
If that doesn't work then you could just wait for the newest RUU to be released and that would probably fix it.
So i was running a miui rom and did a clean wipe to try and a new rom. I couldn't get past the boot screen of the rom so i figured it was just a bad download. so i went and unrooted the phone. i have Hboot .92 thew radio is 2.15.10.07.07. i have the phone to s-on. i downloaded and installed the stock verizon gingerbread rom by renaming it to th P whatever lol. the reboots gets to the incredible screen then goes the htc quetly brilliant screen then it does the droid sound and i get the red snapdragon logos. but when it get's to the droid eye after it circle goes back and forth once then freezes on the second one. it sits there for like 3 or 4 minutes and then it just reboots to the droid sound and snapdrogon screen then the droid eye and stops and just keeps repeating this. i am hoping someone on might have a cure for this. the only thing i can get into iss hboot. hoping it's not fried. thanks for your time. and sorry for the long post, just trying to be very detailed to get the right help.

Have you tried doing a factory reset from hboot, and then reflashing the ruu (PB31IMG.zip file) thru hboot again. Also why did you go s-on, just makes it way harder to reroot or fix issues like these? The only reason anyone should ever go s-on is if you need to return it to verizon under warranty.
the reason for s-on is because i was selling it and the new owner just wanted it stock. they know nothing about rooting or any of this kinda stuff. i do believe i tried the factory reset but i will give it a go again.
so i believe i have found the problem. and doing some research it's my own fault. i am still on the .07.07 radio baseband and i found out that i should have downgraded before getting s-on. now i don't know if i can fix this problem or did i just ruin my phone. hoping for some good news. thanks

Im pretty sure you have to downgrade the radio to get s-on. As in it wont work to get you s-on if your not on the right radio. Are you sure you didnt downgrade and doing the ruu just upgraded it again?
I would try doing the latest ruu.exe with a pc, instead of PB31IMG.zip.
i would love to but the pc will not read the phone because it just boot loops.

Have you installed the phone drivers on your pc?
i have installed everything that i can to try and get this phone working. hboot comes comes up on the phone just fine and i can get to fastboot on the phone. when i go to recovery from fastboot it goes to the green triangle then it turns red. i do the volume and power to get to recovery but when it comes up i get a bunch of error messages. and am at a lost with this. all i know is i don't think it is bricked because i can get to hboot. when i try to install another pB file from hboot it either does not do anything or it tells me it failed because it was an older version. i am pretty sure it is a software problem i just can't figure it out.
