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!

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?

Hey everyone, I have tried almost everything and my camera is broken. The lens opens up but the picture is all purple and not clear. I need to unroot my phone so I can take it back to the sprint store but I do not know which is the best method to use. I saw the RUU and I tried it but it wont connect to my phone usb. The program will open and close on its own.. This is my phone software
2.2
Baseband version
2.15.00.11.19
stock kernel
Build Number
3.70.651.1
Thanks for any help!
Install HTC sync on your computer to get the correct drivers for you USB and then try rerunning the RUU.

Download the 3.70 version, boot the phone into fastboot, connect to pc, the run the RUU exe.

+1 on this method, teh roxxorz and I have helped a few people with this in the past few days. However, I would add a few things to this list. If you still get the connection error completely close the ruu and reboot the bootloader from the fastboot menu a few times and then try the ruu again. If this does not work then completely close out of everything and reboot your computer and reboot your phone back into the fastboot and try again. It can take a few tries to get this to work, but I promise you it will. I have used this method 4 times on 3 different phones. Plus, it is the safest route out of any of the methods IMHO.

Thank you everyone for the input! I am trying to run the RUU and its giving me the Error[170] USB connection error. I have the drivers updated. What do you think I can do? I also have S-off
I dont know what im doing wrong. In the youtube videos I been watching off of HTCEVOHACKS.com my ADB in control panel is called HTC BOOTLOADER.. in the videos under ADB its my "MY HTC" does it matter? I tried to install other drivers and it is always called htc bootloader. Does anyone know what the problem may be for me to be getting that error 170?
I'm not sure, but you have done the following:
-If on windows, installed the HBOOT drivers
-Installed and the un-installed HTC sync
-The phone is booted into the bootloader, select fastboot, THEN connect to pc and the run the RUU exe
?
I have never installed htc sync. I have a 64bit windows 7 pc
http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/
You can download sync there. Install it, and then immediately un-install it, then try the process again.
thanks man, i will try that now. its taking forever to download
Yea, it can take a couple of minutes, depending on your connection, but hopefully this solves it.
It worked!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! I also formatted my SD card. so does this mean I can take my phone back to sprint without them knowing i had it rooted? I only had 384MB free internal. Is that supposed to be like that? I also did a factory reset of my phone. My camera is still messed up tho. The picture is all purple and blue still
No problem man! And the memory is fine. And for the camera, just say it happened with the latest OTA
Edit: Also in the bootloader, you should be S-ON.
oh no!!!! i am still S-OFF in the bootloader!!!! nooooooooo!!!!! what does that mean?
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
Go down to the Q&A and then download and flash the S-ON tool.
so does that mean I have to reroot my phone? I dont understand. Do i have to hook up my phone to my pc and redo all that root stuff using unrevoked or do i just download these files and put them in the sd card and open them up thru rom manager and install them from the sd card?
My phone is stuck at the white Evo splash screen. This happenned after I performed the autoroot procedure located at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448

Then I tried downloading the 3.70 rom as a zip file, named it pc36100.zip, put it in the root of my sd card, then I went into recovery mode and I told it to start the update. It looks like it works but I get a message at the end that says "partition update fail!" and then it asks me to reboot and I'm right back at the endless white evo splash screen. I even tried to load several times using the evo-recovery where I was able to pick which image I wanted to phone to update but it fails with a symlink error of some sort.

I would also try running the RUU and PC36IMG a couple more times, maybe download them from a different source. Do you have HTC sync installed on your computer? I believe it's needed to use the RUU. So if you pull your battery out, reinsert it, then plug your Evo into a wall charger, the light goes steady green after a few minutes? Strange, I'd try a different RUU. Did you download from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu . I haven't experienced problems like this before (fortunately) but I've also read about people needing to format their SD card before it would work, using the PC36IMG. Not sure why, but possibly something corrupted on the SD card? Did the auto root give you any sort of errors or anything? Or did it just appear to work, and then this happened?
Also, you could try running the RUU from fastboot mode. Boot to the bootloader, select 'fastboot', and then try the RUU
HTC Sync is indeed needed for the RUU in .exe form.
Boot into hboot by holding down the volume down button while turning on your phone. I believe you choose hboot USB and then run the RUU exe.

The fastboot method worked! Awesome. So, in the hboot menu, it says S-OFF, which I assume means it's rooted. If that's the case, then I can push any rom I want on top of it now, correct?

Sweet, I'm glad it worked for you. So it says you're S off, even after running the RUU? I've never used the Autoroot method, but it must flash unrevoked forever, somewhere in the process. Well, if it says you're S off, I believe the only thing you're missing before you can flash anything is a custom recovery, which you most likely do not have, after running RUU. I believe that since you're s off, you can just flash a custom recovery from the bootloader, and then flash a rom. You could also use ROM manager to flash a recovery, you'd just need to download and install the Super User app, I believe. I think that should work for you? I've never tried to just flash a recovery from a stock ROM, right after an RUU, but if you're s off, i dont see why you can't do that. Download the PC36IMG I attatch here, make sure its named PC36IMG, put it on the main directory of your sd card, boot to the bootloader. Let it scan and ask you to update. Select volume up for yes. After that's done, you should have custom Amon Ra V2.3 recovery. From there, you 'should' be able to flash ROMs. good luck.

You are not rooted at all. Start from scratch, use Unrevoked. Make sure to install and then uninstall HTC Sync and install the modified hboot drivers from Unrevoked if you're on a windows machine before running Unrevoked. Not sure why you are constantly rebooting, but after you get it rooted flash a new ROM and hopefully it will clear up.
Is it Unrevoked 3 or forever? Where do i get the modified hboot drivers and would it let me do this while Hboot usb because my phone doesnt stay on long enough to debug and root that way?
You get the drivers from unrevoked.com. I'm pretty sure you need to be able to turn on USB debugging and it has to run from an "on" state. Try running the 3.70 RUU again and see if that clears the reboots.
You have a link to a RUU 3.70 in zip file that you recommend because they're so many out there and I have a feeling I might of loaded the wrong one? I'll flash it in fastboot mode like the first one

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.

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.

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.

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.

Make sure your sdcard is formatted FAT32.

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
Use these commands through adb

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
Ok! So i was running fresh 3.5 on my evo 4g and everything was running great. I decided that I wanted to add a battery percent on the battery indicator. I download a zip file that would allow me to do that...I put it on the root of my sd. I tried flashing it with clockwork mod 3.0 but it didnt let me cuz it came up with an error saying to update my binary and script. So i googled on how to bypass that error and it said to use the ra recovery(the other recovery program,i think thats what its called ) so i flashed ra with rom manager. I rebooted my evo and went into recovery and flashed the zip file then a couple of minutes later it said it was complete(no errors came up during the flashing process). I rebooted my evo after the flashing was done. This is where it starts getting weird! I turned my phone back on and after the white screen a black screen came up and didnt go away. After about a minute the phone vibrated about 4 times and the indicator light started flashing green. I couldnt power down so I had to take out the battery. I turned it back on and it booted up to the fresh boot logo. It tried to reboot itself about 3 times and without success the black screen came up and vibrated with flashing green light. Took the battery out for an hour then I booted it to the boot menu, went into recovery to try to delete the zip file and all it did was give me the black screen, vibrated and flashing green lights. I checked to see if s-off was still engaged and it wasnt. S-on was showing. I think some how that zip file made that happen. I have a nandroid backup. I dont have recovery and s-on is engaged. What should I do? This is the file that I flashed( smooth-sense_evo1.0.2_batteryonly ) Sorry if Iam posting this in the wrong section. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Holy Wall-O-Text Batman!
But getting to your issue:
You enabled security again. Flash the stock RUU found in the most up-to-date unrooting guides and go back to stock. Re-root again using Unrevoked and then flash again. Mind you, you will be starting over more or less.
The reason why I'm telling you to unroot and then root again is that you want to get rid of that funky flash. Its the safest way possible.
So I need to unroot first (even though it says s-on)
Then root again with unrevoked
Then flash stock ruu
Flashing the RUU should unroot for you. It will undo any mods except for s-off from unrevoked.
Still no luck.
This is what i have done.
Ive tried rooting again using unrevoked 3 but it doesnt pick up my evo when i plug in my phone. It does come up in my device manager but its not assigned a drive letter. Yes i did enable hboot usb. Yes my drivers are installed right.
Ive tried different ruu's but they wont detect my evo. Ive tried different stock PC36IMG's and they will update with no errors but when it reboots into the the screen with green arrows and a phone it vibrates 4 times then turn off.
Can you guys be more specific on the steps that in need to do. Thanks once again.
Info:
HBoot 2.10
Radio 2.15
I feel your pain, same thing happened to me after months of successful evo hackery. Was very difficult to convey to people the extent of random roadblocks preventing all the supposed fixes. I followed every suggestion, maybe 200 separate tries at a workaround, but in the end I had to trade it in for a refurb.
To flying low,
I still have faith especially with everybody helping me out. I know theres a workaround cuz i still have hboot up and running even tho i lost recovery and rom.
Can i use unrevoked when iam in hboot? Cuz thats the only option i have.(i think)

you need to flash the RUU in hboot or run the RUU in Windows...it doesnt matter whether it says s-on or not all it will do is restore the phone back to its shipped factory settings and unroot you
What you do:
Find and download the latest RUU. I Think this is it: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Sup...51.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459.exe (download should start automatically)
name it PC36IMG.zip
Place it on the root of your sd card (root of sd card = no in any folders, just put it on there).
Boot into bootloader (power off, hold volume down and turn power on to get there)
it'll ask if you wanna parse update, hit volume up for yes.
basically, this will flash the stock rom back onto your phone. Since you're s-on already, this will complete a full unroot. Then simply re-root your phone like you did the first time and you're back in the game
Ok i will try flashing the ruu from the link that you gave me.
Thanx. Will report back soon.
I tried the link but its a .exe file not a zip. So I converted it to a zip file using winrar. I renamed it PC36IMG and put it on the root of my sd. Ran it and it just got to the checking part and it stoped checking. I did it 2 times with same result.I also formated my sd card to fat32.

If you want to run the ruu in PC36IMG form, you need the right file.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip < Rename to PC36IMG, then flash in the bootloader.
The ruu.exe is meant to be run from a computer, with the phone booted into the bootloader, and mounted to the pc in fastboot.
Yes i agree tech roxxorz. I was just doing what he told me. Ive tried RUU.exe before but it wont recognize my evo niether does my computer and iam in hboot usb mode. I will try your link and repot back.

Well you can't do it in hboot usb. You have to select fastboot, connect to the pc, and when it shows up as fastboot usb in blue on the phone, then you run the ruu.exe.
Though either method will work.
So when I click on fastboot on my evo, what do i click on next to run RUU.exe cuz I only have reboot or power down options.

Turn the phone off. While turning the phone off, hold vol+down till you see a white screen with androids skateboarding [bootloader] From there, after it scan, navigate to fastboot with the volume keys, press the power button to select, then connect to the PC via usb cable. When it says 'fastboot usb' in blue, run the ruu exe on the pc.
OK got it. Will report back soon.
Aye aye cappy.
I did what you wrote. The ruu.exe gave me an error 170-usb connection error. I booted into the bootloader by holding down the power button and volume down why the evo is turned off. It scaned the sd card, I selected fastboot and plugged in my usb cable. It said fastboot usb highlighted in red.
