Running MIUI, AmonRa. Phone was totally stable, today I was charging it and it refused to turn on. Pulled battery and when I turn on, its stuck on white htc Evo screen.
I can boot to recovery and see my old nandroid's and make a new one. I can S-OFF in recovery. Restoring the nandroid doesn't seem to help, its still stuck on white boot screen.
A few things to try:
1)Reboot to bootloader and select fastboot and reboot... have had this work before...
or
2)In recovery wipe everything then restore your nandroid.
or
3)Have a copy of the MIUI version you were on? In recovery, wipe system, then flash the ROM
LG optimus LTE WON"T BOOT
My Phone won't boot after try to install CWM. The touch buttons flash couples sec after press power but phone won't turn on. When i plugged in the computer, the computer recognize it but can't do restore. HELP PLEASE!!!
Ok I managed to debug this a little bit more.
Can get to recovery, but trying to restore nandroid's failed. I did this after wiping everything, doing a factory reset, and it still fails. When I tried to mount each partition individually, it failed to mount sd-ext with the error "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)".
I think this was the key, as I was using dta2sd on all my roms. Luckily I had another rom which was not using sd-ext, and I was able to restore that.
Is my sd-ext partition now lost? I can't check its status using the rom I have since it doesn't support sd-ext. Obviously all my apps were installed on it and I'd like to back them up.
The sd card itself seems fine, I can see everything on it.
I was actually going to post about this, thanks for doing it for me man.
Even with sense roms just restarting the phone will get me stuck at the htc evo 4g white screen and I have to wipe all data and factor reset just to get it to boot up again but i loose all my stuff and it really sucks. My phone only has recently started doing this, any ideas on what I can do to fix it?
I tried what imhereoldman said, but that just fixes it till the next time where it does the same thing after restarting the phone and im really getting tired of it :/

I just found this and it sounds like it will be a pain but should solve the issue trying it out now and il let you know how the unroot reroot goes...
You don't have to unroot. Just run the RUU for your phone.
Also, try to do a backup of your SD Card, reformat it (Sorry if you don't have a TB backup), repartition, then restore the backup and reflash the ROM after a thorough and complete wipe.
Thanks hipkat, I should have done more research on it, I did the un-root to. But I did run the RUU file and switched to AMON this time and it seems everything is cleared up and its running fine! thanks

I have some sort of sd-ext error when restoring a nandroid backup. At the moment my phone is stuck at the cyanogen boot loop. I've wiped everything, i tried to format the sd-ext but it will not mount. i've tried fresh installs, everything I can think of but nothing seems to be working.
sd-ext error is normal, that's actually referring to the partition where you would install apps2sd, I get that error all the time because I don't have any as well and no need to have that partition.
In ClockworkMod Recovery, the sd card is just called "sdcard"

Okay. So how do I go about getting my phone operational again? As I said i've wiped everything and tried to restore backups and did fresh installs and still am stuck at the looping boot screen.
You're using clockwork mod recovery right? Format your sd card using Windows to FAT32.
Boot into recovery..format all your other partitions. Mount USB storage, put a ROM in there, try stock Virtuous seems to be more stable than CM.
Clear data/factory reset, clear cache, then clear Dalvik cache. Install Virtuous .zip.
You should be able to boot. If you still can't try taking unmounting the sd card after the ROM finishes installing, try taking it out as well.

I successfully installed the MIUI ROM however it doesn't even get to the boot screen. It stays on the white background HTC Incredible screen.
I saw this guy had a similar problem:
http://androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/181337-backup-problems-ud-cm6.html
He said that Cyanogen Mod seemed to be better for him. But he was also clearing data/cache and Dalvik AFTER he installed the mod.
It's ok to do that after, but you better make sure to do it before. Have you tried clearing both before and after? If it gets stuck on the white incredible screen I am not sure, but if it goes beyond that and then crashes right before the boot is finalized then that might be an SD card problem.

Yes i've tried before and after. With cyanogen it loops the boot screen, with MIUI that I installed it doesn't get past the white screen and i cannot install virtuous at all
Anyone? I'd really like to be able to save $300 here
last loop i had with cyanogen was because i had the wrong kernel. make sure u flash a kernel that supports asop. its simple but it slips minds alot i usually use kings kernels (#2)

The phone is totally screwed up, it wont even accept unrooting and putting the stock ROM back onto it. I have *NO* idea what happened. I just got this phone replaced and did a restore and it was working fine, then it froze so i removed the battery and put it back in and then this.
http://androidforums.com/incredible...16-how-revert-back-earlier-version-hboot.html
try using that to unroot, itll take you back to 2.1 (or you could use a different ruu for whatever version youd like to revert to)
Fixed! I went out and bought a new class 6 SD card and used berserkers method to go back to stock. Thank all of you for your help!
Ok so I was running MIUI when my phone wouldn't mount my sd card to my laptop. I formatted my card, so it deleted all of my backups.
Now when I power on my phone it gets stuck at the white "htc incredible" screen.
I can get into recovery and have wiped, but I have no backups saved. I downloaded a rom and did a factory reset, flashed the rom, and it still gets stuck at the white screen.
What can I do to actually get my phone to boot?
EDIT:
I didn't notice this the first time, but I did a wipe factory reset again and this is what it says:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting DATA...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(File exists)
Error mounting /data/!
Skipping format...
Formatting DATADATA...
Formatting CACHE...
Formatting SDEXT...
Go to this thread and follow part 2 from #2 on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786436
Copy that PB31IMG file to the root of your SD card, you will be back at 2.2 stock. You can then re-root and go from there.
i agree with the above post, that should definately get you working.
An other thing you could try would be to reflash a kernel.
Sounds like you may not have a kernel to boot from, which is why its hanging at the white screen.
Thanks guys.. Yea, I had unrooted before and was hoping I wouldn't have to take it that far, but it was necessary this time and did the trick.
Thanks again.
Glad you got it working.
Another thing to note too, if you can see the HTC splash, you usually can fix the problem. It's when the phone doesn't turn on you should be worried about it being bricked.
Hi all,
I had CM7 on my phone (nightly build #3), which worked just fine. Today, after a reboot, the phone wouldn't start. The CM7 logo shows up, stays there for a while, after which the screen turns black and nothing happens. I tried going into the recovery menu to do a restore of a working backup, I've tried wiping the data and cache, I've tried pretty much anything. Nothing seems to work. When performing the restore, I get the following error: "error while erasing boot image", along with some other errors about the phone not being able to mount the cache partition or something (see image below). The only thing that I've done before this happened, was to delete some stuff from the SD card, but it should've been nothing important, just some backups and downloads.
Any help would really be appreciated, as I can't use my phone at all right now.
Okay download an new rom on your computer. Go to recovery and mount sd card then tranfer the new rom to your sd card. Then flash new rom. See if that works

My phone was working fine until I upgraded two apps (I can't recall which ones) and my phone rebooted on its own; weird. I am running CM7 BTW.
I figured "No problem, I'll just flash my backup through Clockworkmod; not so. I keep getting "error formatting /data" regardless of any wipe, format I do.
I am not sure what to do from here. Please help. Searching revealed some RUU advice, but those were in other phone forums and I want to make sure I don't screw this up.

What version of cwm are you using?
Sent From My Optimized HTC Incredibly Dinc
It was the orange, but I upgraded it to see if it would work. uh, oh, as I write this, I fear worse...
Upgrading changed cwm to blue, but still same problems. It is almost as if the data directory has no write permissions.
I got impatient and used the ruu.exe from pvillecomp and now it gets stuck at the red eye droid screen and is on a reboot loop.
I can't get into recovery now, I get the phone icon with the red ! triangle. I figure cwm is gone now, so what, use unrevoked again? This would flash a new recovery, correct? Otherwise, how would I get the zip file onto the sd card now to flash via hboot? Even with a cwm, I imagine I will have the same formatting issues, unless the rom upate utility corrected those.

Try manually mounting /data before wiping it.
EDIT: Nevermind just read your other post about loosing cw recovery. Are you still s-off?
yeah, I tried every combination of mounting and formatting and it always failed with the same message. I am still S-off, so I imagine from here I can use unrevoked to flash cwm back onto it then I can try to restore from a saved ROM I have on my card. Should I do that?
I could copy the file to flash cwm file to my card instead I guess, but my card would have to be FAT32 I assume.
Well I flashed ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0 using HBOOT and now I am back to my original problem: Error while formatting /data! I can mount /data, but not format it, even through the mount menu option. Any ideas?
I don't know much about the file structure but does this not seem like a permissions issue to you guys? Fix permissions in CWM and factory resets don't help either.

By partition, do mean directories? I formatted the card to FAT32 but did not partition it in any way. I don't believe I had separate partitions on it before, but I could be wrong. Wouldn't the partitions have shown up in my Windows OS when I plugged the card in to the reader?

factory reset in hboot is different. It will probably wipe programming so you'll have to *228 1 and *228 2 to yet reprogram your phone. It'll probably wipe sdcard and emmc too. I've not tried so this is at your own risk. see if there are better options first.

I've already tried it before. It did not touch my card but did reset my phone's programming.
The restore function in CWM only touches the internal memory, correct?

No windows would not see it if its there you would need to use a program called "gparted" on your pc to get rid of it or reformat it. Also when you tried the factory reset from hboot were you on a stock recovery then or cwm?

I tried the Factory Reset from HBOOT and also the Wipe Data/Factory Reset from CWM. Occasionally I am getting the 5 vibrations and a black screen when trying to turn off and on; battery pull allows me to boot up into ROM or HBOOT.
CM7 is working now, but the hard button bindings are screwed up along with a bunch of other stuff. CWM is able to restore the system, but fails on data so it makes sense. I can't receive calls either. I was so hoping the ruu would have fixed this...
The card should have no bearing on flashing a ROM? Or am I not understanding this?
Oh, I also tried to restore and format data manually without the card in to no avail. The Wipe Data/Factory Reset formats the data folder without errors but not the manually method of formatting or the restore method.

Still same error.
To return my phone under warranty to a Verizon store, do I need to make sure that the stock ROM is flashed and the phone is unrooted with S-ON again? I am starting to think this is the route I am heading down and I only have a week left on my warranty.
Very short answer.........YES!!!

*Possible Solution* If still an issue
If it is still an issue I had the same problem with my incredible.
I was playing a racing game on my phone and it just restarted on its own. When I turned it back on the phone had reset itself. Every time I would restart the phone from then on it would delete every thing I had saved like it was doing a factory reset. So I tried to do a wipe and restore and no luck. I kept getting the same errors you were getting in clockwork. I also tried the e2fsck commands from the link in the prior post and no luck.
1. I got a working HTC Incredible and booted into recovery and mounted all partitions.(/system, /data, etc.)
2. Then I used adb to pull the filesystem from the working phone with this command.
c:\android\adb pull / filesystem
This puts all the files from the phones root folder into a folder named filesystem in the same directory as the adb files.
3. After that finished I hooked the phone with the messed up partitions to the computer, booted into recovery, and mounted all partitions.
4. Then I used adb to push the filesystem from the working Incredible to the Incredible with the messed up partitions with this command.
c:\android\adb push c:\android\filesystem /
5. When it finished I rebooted the phone. It booted up and I got a few force close errors but nothing major, so I restarted and booted into recovery. When I tried to format /data it formatted like it should have.
6. Finally I downloaded the stock+ rooted rom and flashed it with clockwork and the phone booted up fine with no force closes and doesn't reset after reboot.
This worked for me and should work for anyone else that has this filesystem problem.
Can i get those files?
i dont have a working incredible. can you post a link to the working filesystem.
Thanks.

OK, so I have been running DoomKernel on my R800x for ages now and tonight I decided to try out the TurboKernel:
See post # 1234 through 1241
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817548&page=124
I flashed it and had some issues with GB, so I formatted Cache/data/system partitions as mentioned in CosmicDans FAQ. I then booted from recoveryPLAY.img wiped all three again then ftfd back to a stock VZ ftf. Then wiped all three again via recoveryPLAY, then reflashed DK. Only to find that I despite all the wiping, ftfing, and flashing that I can only restore system & data of my nandroid backup. If I restore cache I get an error of "not enough storage". This being despite the fact that I ftfd and had it clear/erase everything. I have even repaired my sd card via my pc...... still I get the same.
Can anyone offer any ideas/suggestions how to fix this cache partition error? I believe that Turbokernel resizes the cache partition.. but even doing all the above to restore it back its still the same.... any ideas? I hav espent 3 hours trying to repair this to no avail... and I am out of ideas.... thank you in advance.
One thing I forgot to mention is that when I attempt to restore my apps as half are missing from the system drawer TB loads but during restore process it just hangs... anyone have any ideas?
I just FTFd again and tried to restore my cache but it spit back as "error: cache/log/ not enough storage...
