Corrupted HBOOT? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I believe the HBOOT is corrupted, but I'm not 100%. When I boot, I can get into HBOOT, when I try to boot to recovery, factory reset, or anything but fastboot and reboot, I get the white HTC Incredible screen, then a black screen with two white stripes down either side. Anybody seen this before? Rooted with ClockworkMod Recovery. Can't get to CM Recovery. Is there a way to flash HBOOT?

Yes you can flash hboots thru your current hboot as a PB31IMG.zip. You can get the hboots here http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/. However i dont think thats going to fix your problem, it sounds like you may have the wrong version of cwm installed. What version are you currently on and is your screen amoled or slcd?

Not sure if this matters but they have an unlocked hboot as per their other thread.
Edit: disregard my previous RUU comment.

Oh, if your on the new hboot there is no way to downgrade it. So you would have to try to reflash the new hboot again.

Understood. How will that affect S-ON vs off and the unlocked bootloader?
Also, how can I re-flash to the newest HBOOT as you suggest?

If you are s-off you will stay s-off. If your s-on you will stay s-on and can root with my tutorial. Even with an unlocked bootloader it will still say s-on or off. I do not have an hboot only image in hand, when i get to my pc i will make one. Or you could just do the ruu from the htvdev unlock site. That will reflash the hboot and the entire system.
EDIT: Here is a PB31IMG.zip of hboot 1.02, http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.02/PB31IMG.zip. Place the file on your sdcard in no folders, boot into hboot and it should automaticly find the file and prompt you to press vol up to update.

HBOOT 1.02.0000 correct? Just want to be sure. If that's the one, I'll re flash right away. Thanks for all the help!!

Correct you are already on 1.02 right.

I am. About to flash it.
Edit to the edit. Somehow didn't process what you were saying. Put the .zip on the root of the SD, popped it in, booted to HBOOT, it grabbed it immediately. Tested Recovery and Clear Storage, same story. Take that back. Clear storage seems to be working, Recovery is not. Recovery hangs on the black screen with white stripes on either side. CWM corrupt?
Can't get to RECOVERY. I can get it to boot into HBOOT, as soon as I select anything else it goes to the black screen. First shows the white HTC Incredible screen, then it goes black. Seems like it errors out because the white stripes look like the edges of the prior white screen. Can I use adb to push recovery straight to the first HBOOT screen?
Edit: force HBOOT into FASTBOOT from adb I mean, and then kick of the recovery from there?

I was actually wondering about this. Sorry to sidetrack but know if it can do fastboot erase or fastboot flash? If so I want to get it setup on my Dinc to simplify kernel testing. I assume eng or unlocked bootloader are needed so I'd have to update to 1.02, still have s-off and then use the website to unlock.

So you cant select fastboot from the hboit menu either? The only other way i know but not sure if it would work for you is to try to boot normaly and when it gets to the white screen where it gets stuck keep trying to enter adb reboot bootloader and see if it will connect. If it works it will take you to hboot with fastboot usb already enabled.

I can get to FASTBOOT from HBOOT.
So, get to FASTBOOT and then, in adb... I can make the logical jump that far, I'm not making the connection after that though.

If you can get to fastboot then do this
Download cwm recovery.img http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/recovery.img and place it on your pc in the same folder as the fastboot.exe file.
Open a cmd prompt on your pc while in hboot with fastboot selected and then type " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ".
Ps your hboot does still say unlocked at the top right?

Never mind. Pushed recovery. Rebooting now.
Edit: beautiful!! got it. Thank you, AGAIN, for all the help. XDA community in general, and especially cmlusco!

Just confirmed I can flash with fastboot with the unlocked 1.02 bootloader. I got the 5 vibes and got scared but I'm all good. Good thing the inc is not the active phone.

Yes it seems with 1.02 you get all the extended commands. I do have the 0.77 eng bootloader, which allows the same commands. I dont think you can downgrade from 1.02 now, even with s-off i may be wrong. I have been reluctant to upgrade to 1.02, not sure why, and instead just flash back to the eng hboot if i need the extended commands. Hope you get the 5 vibes worked out.

Ha. I saw the typo and didn't want to bother fixing it.
Just curious if you did an unlock and flashed the stock recovery prior. If you didn't unlock (wipes data) then you don't have to mess with recovery.

Nope, just flashed it in HBOOT, and rebooted back to HBOOT to verify it took.

[Q] Help from the wise please

i have a big issue, i wanted to update my radio,wimax, ect on my rooted evo.. so i downgraded clockword mod back to v2.5.0.7 because of the scripts and binary issues so i could zip the files then i flashed HBOOT-0.76.2000 now my phone stays on the bootloader screen and when i go to recovery to flash and restore a backup it keeps telling me checking MD5 sums.... erasing boot before restore...... restoring boot image.. Erroe while flashing boot image, what is wrong with my boot image why cant it find it and can anyone help sorry im still kinda a noob
Did you properly sign the zip you made? Did you know that Calkulin has already created a zip containing the radio updates and it is available to download from http://www.mediafire.com/file/9a1ju....00.11.19_WiMAX_27167_R01_PRI_NV_1.90_003.zip
All you have to do is go into recovery and flash it. As for the HBOOT you flashed, what version did you have prior to flashing HBOOT v0.76.2000? I hope it wasn't v2.10.0001 or 2.02.0000 because they allegedly cannot be downgraded. Finally, are you able to boot into your homescreen or are you stuck looping into the bootloader or recovery screen?
If you have the eng bootloader you can pull the boot.img and use 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'.
Of course you'll need to have the phone in fastboot mode and the boot.img in the same folder as fastboot.

i cant recall which hboot i had but it might have been 2.10 or 2.20 so if i cant downgrade does that mean im screwed? and as far as the bootscreen yea i am stuck looping around in both that and the recovery screen so how should i go about it because i already had flashed the new radios ect it was when i flashed that hboot 0.76.2000 that got everything messed up

So I figured something that I didn't think of before I put a pc36img on the root of my sd and it updated everything so I'm up and running again guys thanx for your support

Help please

Im using an EVO4G. The evo is rooted and there was a rom on the evo as well as Amon Ra's Recovery. Here's my problem. I don't know what happened but I can't boot past the HTC EVO 4g screen, I constantly restarts when I try to start up recovery, and when I try to send another recovery image to the phone via command prompt it just hangs. What do I do. ANY help would be appreciated. Also, I can get into fastboot however, when it does its checks it says the the PC36 image is wrong or missing.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

Did you make sure it was all caps PC36IMG.ZIP I would try that. Is S off? Let me know Ill try to help.
What happens you try to get into recovery and it hangs? Did you try to flash a RUU to it?
If you already have the PC36IMG of Amon Ra on your phone, make sure it's named right. In Windows you should only see PC36IMG, not the zip extension... unless you have specifically set the computer to show file extensions. Also make sure it's on the root of the SD card.
Are you showing s-off in the bootloader? What rom were you running when this happened and had you flashed anything or made any system changes?

Are you able to actually get into recovery and flash a rom?
No. It will go to the EVO 4G screen and hang up in a neverending reboot cycle.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/PC36IMG.zip Place that on your sdcard, and flash it in the bootloader, apply update, reboot. it's amon_ra 2.3 recovery, see if that works.
Thats the same one I tried but maybe it was a bad download, I will try it again. Thanks.

I've tried flashing the recovery image and the complete image. No luck. Is there a way to flash a rom to the phone without recovery and without being able to boot the phone (ie from fastboot)?

Yeah, you should be able to. If you used unrevoked to root, or ever flashed unrevoked forever, you'll still be s-off. But if it works, hopefully you'll have a bootable phone. You can then reroot, and if you need to unroot then flash the s-on zip and run the RUU again.

HTC Evo Goes to FASTBOOT Instead of Recovery

Hey guys so I have been messing with my Evo trying to get S-off and trying to get it to start with clockwork recovery but I have had no luck after at least 6 hours of trying. So I have decided to seek some expert advice so anything will help.
About my evo
Purchased day it came out and rooted it the following night with a tedious method I don't remember at all.
HBOOT- 0.79.0000
Radio - 1.39.00.04.26
Rom Installed - Cyanogen 7.0.3.1
My initial problem
I was trying to get my phone to boot to recovery (latest clockwork recovery and Amon RA 2.3) but every time I tried I would see the red triangle with the exclamation mark. So to fix this I tried running the latest unrevoked and that would get hung up at rooting... so then I wiped my phone and tried again and still nothing. I would get stuck at either rooting... or firmware too new then I tried using an older version of unrevoked (3.21) and it seemed to get further. It ended up getting stuck at reboot.
New problem
Now I cant enter recovery at all. Whenever I try entering through rom manager it takes me to FASTBOOT and even if I try entering recovery through bootloader it does the same. Any suggestions will help! And if you need any more information I will be glad to help.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/PC36IMG.zip
Place that on the root of your sd card. Turn your phone off, boot into the bootloader while holding vol+down as you turn the power on. Let it scan, apply update, reboot, reboot into recovery, from the bootloader, and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3 recovery.
Jeez, please stop using ROM Manager to boot to recovery, or to do anything else and explain how you can be using CWM AND AR??
Okay it booted and recognized the file PC36IMG. As for the update, how do I apply it? I click recovery and it still takes me to FASTBOOT.
@HipKat and I tried both recoveries at different times. First clockwork, the amon ra.

It should have asked you to apply update, which you would have used the volume keys to navigate to yes, then pressed the power button to make the selection. If ya didn't get it, do the process again.
It doesnt ask me that and I have tried 5 times already. All it does is return to the bootloader screen.
The script in my sig should be able to recover it, just flash cm7 again once it's done and you should be good to go. You will be able to get to the recovery afterward by holding down power and selecting reboot
So I have been trying to use AutoRoot and was following the video on the thread but I keep getting hung up at "ERROR Could not access the SD card!" Also I was trying to use flashzip as suggested in this thread with your response. And I noticed that it was notifying me my nand was locked. Does that matter at all?

It sounds like you never got fully rooted if your nand is locked (s-on) and the sd card not being recognized could be caused by unrevoked not undoing something. Flashing the 3.29 PC36IMG will most likely fix the sd card error, but if not you'll need to use the OpenShell script from the autoroot folder and type the following:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
If you could attach the autorootlog.txt file to a post that will also give some more information about the condition of your phone.

Anywhere in the autoroot folder will be ok. It can't get your firmware version either so there is definitely something weird going on there, but you should be good once 3.29 is flashed.
Its currently flashing my firmware. Everything seems good so far! I will keep you updated.
edit: It says
congratulations! Your phone is now rooted with a customer recovery capable of flashing ROMs!
Unrevoked Forever was not required to root your phone but you must flash it if you plan on using a production hBoot. The ENG hBoot that is currently installed is unlocked by design and has extra features that can not be used on newer version.
WOW! Amazing, thanks so much! S-off, I can enter a custom recovery, and installing cyanogen as we speak. Finally a full root. I have been trying to achieve this forever. Any suggestions on roms? I have been using cyanogen forever.

Glad to hear that, you'll want to remember not to use any RUUs or upgrade your hboot though. Unrevoked forever can be used to permanently unlock it but as is flashing a RUU will completely unroot your phone and flashing anything newer than 3.29 will prevent you from downgrading your hboot again.
I'm currently using aamikam's sense 2.1 rom from here but have been looking for another, I can't lower brightness with any of the GB sense ROMs so my battery gets murdered when the screen is on. I'm digging the new sense though.

hBoot stands for hardware boot, it's just another name for the bootloader. Flashing a RUU is guaranteed to upgrade it but aside from that you shouldn't really have to worry about it.

[NEED HELP] Hopefully not bricked HTC Incredible with wrong ROM

Guys, please help!! Yesterday I was so hungry for some ice cream sandwich, that I accidentally tried to flash a rom for HTC Incredible S onto my HTC Incredible! Only after the install failed (used Rom Manager, and when it rebooted, it was saying something about missing pb31img.nmh or some weird extension like that) did i realize what i have done. However my phone was pretty much functional at that point. I tried booting into hboot and doing recovery, but whenever i selected any of the hboot options (clear storage, recovery, factory reset), it would just reboot back into hboot. But at this point i was still able to boot into my phone. I tried backing up from saved images using Rom Manager, but when it rebooted, it always gave the pb31img message. Then it just froze. When i pulled the battery and plugged it back in, the phone just got stuck at the HTC Incredible white screen and would not boot. I've been searching the forums long and hard, but it seems all solutions assume i need to be able to boot into the phone, or to be able to simply use hboot to recover. None of these seem to be viable options for me at the moment. Please help with any suggestions as I wanted to wait for the Tegra 3 phones to come out before upgrading!!
fastboot and adb require phone to be able to boot. my phone does not boot into anything besides hboot. and even in hboot, none of the functions work. i was able to format my sd card and copy an img of the proper rom on there, and when i go to hboot->fastboot, it says "loading pb31img.zip" and shows the blue status bar, then says parsing "pb31img.zip" but that takes a second and then it just goes back to the hboot screen without installing anything!! does this mean i'm totally SOL now?
You can use fastboot to flash a stock image. You do not need to be able to boot to use fastboot,fastboot is thru hboot.
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot#Fastboot_Commands
However if you can get into hboot (the screen with the PB31IMG.zip message), then you can just do an ruu thru hboot. It sounds like your missing or have a corrupt boot image. You need to download the PB31IMG.zip ruu file from here (http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22), place it on your sdcard in no folders and then reboot thr phone. Hboot will find the file and prompt you to press vol up to update. Once thats done press vol up to reboot. Your phone should boot now. You will have to reroot if you want.

OMG!!! Thank you soooo much! I can't give you enough thanks, you have no idea! I don't know why this one worked and lots of other cwm img files and rom img files didn't though! And i tried using the fastboot command through the terminal from the computer to flash this same RUU file, but it was giving me problems. But when i put it on the sd card, it worked right away. Now i have a phone to wait out for the Tegra 3!
Glad i could help.
Everything I have read so far says NOT to do any of that through a ROM manager. Could that be why his attempts to install a stock recovery failed?
This really helped me in my situation. I think I had an old version of clockworkmod on my Incredible and it wouldn't let me flash things correctly so it got me stuck in a bootloop but than I flashed the Froyo RUU PB31IMG.zip in hboot and it got my phone working again. Now time to re-root. (I chose Froyo because if you want to re-root with gingerbread you have to downgrade to Froyo which is a hassle)
Your device can not really be bricked. Impossible if you know what you are doing . Revert back to old rom after booting into recovery or choose a simpler from.

If you are s-off it does not matter whether you use the froyo or gingerbread ruu. That is the whole point of getting s-off, so that if an ota or anything else for that matter replaces the custom recovery with the stock recovery, you will still be s-off allowing you to flash the custom recovery right back without having to do all that unrevoked stuff again.

HTC Incredible wont boot. Can get to Hboot though

Cant boot phone but i can get to the Hboot. Ive tried to do a recovery and that doesnt work. my question is, is there a way to install a rom or stock img directly from a computer? or what other options i have?

Place this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip, on your sdcard in no folders and boot to hboot. Wait a few secs and hboot should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install. This is the latest officially signed ruu, it will wipe everything and get you to compleete stock. There is a way to do it with a pc, but you have to be able to boot the phone to the os for that to work.

Place this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip, on your sdcard in no folders and boot to hboot. Wait a few secs and hboot should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install. This is the latest officially signed ruu, it will wipe everything and get you to compleete stock.

It must be named exactly PB31IMG.zip, which it should already be. It must be in no folders. If it still wont work backup and format your sdcard fat32 with a pc and then try again.

I have done this so many times no with multiple microSD cards and a few different PB31IMG.zip files. I can get to hboot and it sees the file, but after checking it it says that there is no image. I tried to flash CWM recovery using fastboot and it says it is successful, however when I try to go to recovery, it restarts the phone and sits on the white screen that says HTC Incredible. It will stay on that screen or continually boot to that screen.
Does anyone have any ideas for me? I don't care which software or ROM I get on here, I just want to get it running!
Here is my info:

How do I wipe cash without being able to get to recovery? And pulling the battery only gets me out of the boot loop.
I can get to the HBOOT menu, but if i choose anything other than fastboot it just restarts and get stuck in the loop. I can't connect via adb either.
I'm not super experienced with this stuff, everything I've tried so far comes from somewhere on these forums. Any other help would be appreciated!

You need to back up your sdcard to your pc. Then format the sdcard fat32 with the pc (even if its already fat32). Place this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip only back on the sdcard, in no folders named exaxtly PB31IMG.zip which it should already be named. Put the sdcard back in the phone and boot to hboot. It should find the file, parse it, and prompt you to press vol up to install. Once installed remove the PB file from the sdcard and put your backed up files back on the sdcard.

Ive tried this several times. Formatted several different sdcards and and tried several different PB31IMG.zip files. Every time it scans the file and then says wrong image error.

Then

I didn't realize I could erase cache through fastboot! unfortunately, it didn't seem to solve the issue. When i try and erase recovery so that i can flash a new one it tells me in cmd "failed, remote: not allowed". I can flash a new one and it tells me its successful, but when i select recovery from HBOOT it still drops me back into the loop.

Is your bootloader still unlocked? If not unlock it again, and then do the fastboot commands.

This is a great idea. The relock and unlock process went just find but unfortunately it didn't solve the issue.
Thank you guys for your suggestions! please keep them coming! I'm determined to get this to work somehow.

I tried a couple versions of teamwin and couldn't get it to work. Is there a way to install a different version of hboot or would that not make any difference?
