[Q] Need help FAST!

This is the jist of my problem, and im trying to get it fixed, as i have work tomorrow.
Bought an Evo 4g about a week ago. Decided i wanted to root it today, went on here, found some threads for rooting it.
Now before i say this next part, i have rooted other phones with no problems, so i didnt think this would happen to me.
Back to my point, followed the steps as thoroughly as possible, but when It was installing the PC36IMG file, it said "Radio_v2 : Fail PU or something like that. Rebooted the phone, and it sits at the HTC evo 4g screen... tried doing that same step over with the same problem. So i chose the clear storage option, restarted, same problem, then got into recovery and did the factory reset option, and now when i start my phone, it goes straight to recovery mode. Nothing more nothing less.
Anybody out there know how i can just get the factory stock rom or what ever back on this thing? ill be up all night till i get it fixed. Also maybe the update.zip? idk.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I can get to both screens. If i just start it up without holding volume down, it goes to recovery and i have to take out the battery and restart it again holding volume down to get to the bootloader screen

on the bootloader screen (skating androids) what is your hboot version (second line) and is s-off or s-on (second line)
also link to instructions you used to root (different hboot versions use different instructions)

Anyways, i found a Different pc36img.zip file and used that through bootloader and i didnt get any failure messages. Now my phone is started up and i received like 15 texts, and 3 voice mails so far..
the file was uploaded to megaupload and the descrpition was "EVO RESTORE 3.29.65.1.5"
Ill restart my phone now into bootloader mode to get you that info.

I just bought it last week from Radio Shack, so im assuming 2.2... But im not sure.
Current update is the phone works now and im pretty happy about that. Think maybe i should do some more research before i try to root it and flash custom roms. I do want to though, one day.

Thank you, i didnt see these posts before. I recently looked at the posts i was following, and they were dated back to august. So im sure these will be much better.

Another quick question...
So after all this friggen work, does this mean its rooted now?

no, if your rooted it will say S-off, and you will have a working recovery installed not just the bootloader.

Desire wont get past HBOOT and Recovery

Hi there.
I have an annoying problem. I wanted to update my Desire to RCMixHD v0.14 (from v0.13). I did as i usually do when i update (no wipe just update from zip) and now i cant get past HBoot.
I've tried the following:
Wipe everything i could wipe in recovery
Repartitioned and formated my SD card
Installed a few different roms
When i turn on the phone i see the S-OFF splash for about ½ a second before it goes straight to HBOOT.
I'm getting a little nervous as i can't think of anything else to try. Any of you guys know a solution to my problem?

Sorry about the late answer I used the link called "Latest FroYo RUU" (sorry about being unclear about what file i downloaded). It links to this site. I've just tried downloading it again and it worked fine. Although being a little slow (200Kb/s) i managed to download it without any problems.
/edit: But know this: You have to root your phone again if you use the file. Luckely it's easy with unrevoked

[Q] Can anybody help me out, please?

I've searched the forums and have not found a situation that really matches mine.
I've been running on a Cyanogen nightly build for probably two months with no problems. Out of nowhere this morning my phone reboots itself (while it was idle; I wasn't even touching it) and then gets stuck in a boot loop. I get the White HTC Evo 4G screen, then it powers off and comes back up to the white screen again. Over and over.
All I can get do is hboot. Even telling hboot to go into the recovery mode puts my back into the boot loop. Fastboot, clear storage, and hboot usb all seem to work though. I've tried downloading the PC36IMG.zip file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141) in that thread, but hboot loads it and tells me that it is older than my current version, and only gives me the option to reboot, or not to reboot. Doesn't load the image.
Here is the information on my hboot screen:

Anybody have any ideas? Thanks!

you lost root, s-on
you can still start the bootloader so it's not a brick
need to get s-off before you can load recovery again and reflash your rom
have you tried the RUU? if it installs and defaults you then you can unrevoked to root

No, the app on the PC said everything was successful. The progress bar on the phone progressed without errors too.

what happens when you reboot the phone not going into bootloader?

Just the HTC EVO 4G splash screen. Over and over and over...

does it show the boot animation or just stuck on splash?

Just the splash. No animation.

pull the battery, remove your sdcard, put the battery back in, see if it gets to the animation

Doh, you upgraded your hboot. It's alright though, just run the ruu one more time and your should be ok

I asked my wife to check this thread from the car on the way to dinner. Saw the response. So I took my laptop inside with us and used the RUU one more time. No luck. I decided that it must be a hardware issue. I took the SD out and removed the evidence that the phone had been rooted, then took it to the sprint service center up the road. They just replaced it for me. Thanks for your time! I DO want to root my phone again, the ROMs are just so much better than the stock installation. Should I not install the OTA updates if I'm going to root it? Which guide should I follow for rooting?

never do OTA when rooted, use unrevoked to root, unrevoked.com

Not when rooted. I meant should I update to the latest OTA UNTIL I decide to do the root again? Is the latest OTA unrootable?

Same deal.
Here is the post that I put in the wrong forum that I was about to post here until I saw this thread...
Wellp. I win.
I win a no expenses paid trip to my nearest Sprint dealer.
Ever since I used unrevoked to root my phone in November, I've been voraciously digging through these forums for tasty roms. I've been snorting lines of Cyanogen, MIUI, and a myriad of other, well-designed roms.
Using a on older version of hboot (pre 1 methinks) I was able to avoid the latest hassles with ClockworkMod (plus, I down(up?)graded to 2.6 via RomManager).
Tonight, as I was enjoying some tasty foodstuffs at my local foodstuff vendor, my phone rebooted. Then, it rebooted again. Then again. I once made the folly of flashing a new rom without running the appropriate wipes, and was no stranger to the bootloop. I patiently fired up hboot (my poor volume rocker is all but wore out) and ordered up the trusty recovery mode.
...then it rebooted again... and again... and again.
PusSidiasus: ONOES! I HAVE THE WTFBBRICKED MY PRECIOUS!
SmartAsSidiasus: Hang on for a second, let's check the internet. Try this link: tinyurl.com/4vgeyeg
PusSidiasus: ...
Unfortunately, my internal dialogues are not nearly as witty. Also, my best attempts to de-brick-ify were for naught. Fastboot gave some wacky error message when I tried to flash a new recovery, and installing via PC36IMG.zip did nothing to improve the situation. I even went so far as to install a stock image someone pulled from an RUU (with a 2.02hboot, so as to avoid wimax woes)...
Still, a whole lotta nothing. I can't do anything beyond hboot, and whatever recovery image I install (Clockworkmod, AmanRa) the machine still bootloops.
At this juncture, I've resigned to taking the phone into the sprint store and playing dumb. It is a stock rom, though I hope the attendant misses the S-OFF bit at boot. Which brings me to my proper question:
1) Has anyone run aground a similar issue and found a way out?
OR...​
2) Anyone know how to turn S-(back)ON in my current situation?​
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Also, you can rest assured that I'll be rooting again whatever phone I walk away with, and the work that is exhibited in these forums is amazing. Keep churning out wonderful roms and guides.

[Q] Need help getting rooted Incredible back to stock

Hello all, I'm in serious need of some help, I've been working at this for a couple of hours now and can't figure it out, so I turn to you, o mighty forum.
I have an HTC Incredible and I'm currently running MIUI and clockwork recovery mod. I've been having all kinds of problems lately, and I want to just delete everything on my phone and get it back to stock, the way it was when I turned it on for the first time out of the box. If anyone can help me get this done I will be forever grateful, because I'm at my wits end. I have no idea what to do, or where to start, so if anyone could provide me with a step-by-step instructions, I would be very happy.
Thank you

Ok then all you need to do is flash an ruu thru hboot.
Go here (http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22)and download the Gingerbread PB31IMG.zip
From the home screen of the phone hit Menu - Settings - Applications, and make sure fastboot is NOT checked.
Then go here (http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=79) to learn how to flash the ruu thru hboot.
If you have any issues i will be keeping an eye on the thread.

I think I tried this earlier but it didn't work due to something about a newer version already be installed. I'll keep you posted.

What android version are you on now? If its 4.08.605.2 then you will need to do the ruu exe with a pc. Its the first one on the pvillecomp link where the PB31IMG is.

To be totally honest I'm not sure. I tried using an RUU earlier but it kept saying my phone wasnt plugged in and it couldn't run, even though the phone was plugged in.

To do the ruu exe you need to have htc sync installed on your pc, to get the right drivers. Im not positive but you may need to remove the adb drivers first.

Thats the problem your on a custom rom thats ported, and a higher android version than the latest stock ruu for the inc, so the ruu thinks yout trying to downgrade. Since your still on the correct radio needed for unrevoked to achieve s-off, i would reroot and s-off the phone with unrevoked, then flash a stock ota based inc rom (perferably 4.06.605.3), then go s-on again with the s-on patch, then do the ruu and it shouldnt give the firmware too new error anymore, and should get you back to complete stock.

What does that mean/how do I do it? I'm totally clueless here.

What does that mean/how do I do it? I'm totally clueless here. I just downloaded unrevoked 3.

Go here (http://unrevoked.com/#inc) get the unrevoked program and run it to root your phone and get s-off again. Instructions are on that page for using it.
Then flash this rom thru clockworkmod recoveryrecovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1247253), and reboot.
Then flash the s-on tool thru recovery (http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever-son.zip)
Then do the PB31IMG.zip ruu again, it should work this time, and you will be complete stock.

Not exactly sure what's going on here. I used unrevoked 3 and got the original OS back on there, but when unrevoked runs, it asks if I want to install that PB31IMG file. I chose to not update with that and just reboot into recovery (which if I'm correct should be clockwork,) so I could flash that ROM, but when I reboot the device, I get a black screen wiith a picture of the phone and an ! in a red triangle. The unrevoked program just says "waiting for reboot..."

Go aheda and let unrevoked do the PB31IMG, that is the cwm recovery. The red triangle is still the stock recovery. Are you s-off now?

Nope, I'm still S-on. Not really sure what happened, but I have the original OS on the phone and from what I can tell, it's working fine. But I'm still S-on

I'm going to call it a night. I'll check this thread tomorrow when I get back from work and class. Thanks so much for all of your help so far.

Welk then you are stock just like the day you got it. If you want you can do the gingerbread ruu now, and it should not give the firmware too new error, ir you can stick with froyo, and at some point it will pop up with the latest ota to install.

Thanks so much, again. This was driving me crazy.

Hello, first thank you for an amazing and current forum, I'd been researching my issue for a while, but most things are dated around 2010. I've experience rooting and ROMing a Droid X with multiple ROMS, but I use the original Incredible as my main phone because I still love it. Well, I originally rooted my Inc with Unrevoked3 I believe. I left the ROM as stock up until a couple months ago when I put CM7.2.0 on it.
About a week ago, the phone would always have working mobile data. Yet, if I received or tried to make a call, I couldn't and then I would lose texting ability. Then, a couple days ago, I was using the Inc for wifi tethering when suddenly it went into an Incredible bootloop. I tried booting to the cyanogen recovery, but it will quickly loop out of it as well.
I went to pvillecomp.com/ and downloaded all the stock Inc software. I individually renamed files to PB31IMG.zip and tried to have HBoot pick up on them. Hboot will see the files, but then do nothing. Except, the originally ROM will get checked and come back and say that the current version is older and can't be flashed.
I've always tried the RUU software for hboot and the original ROM. I either get a usb error or a low battery error even if the battery is charged. Granted, I'm trying the RUU from the phone's bootloader screen.
Does anyone have some support they could throw this way? I use my phone for internet and everything. Thank you all.

S-off, flash TWRP (because CWM sucks) and flash a new rom. This should fix everything. Flashing a radio DOES not screw everything unless you do not know what to flash, in that case you should not be flashing radios.

I'm looking into the TWRP stuff right now since I've only experience with CWM. My only concern is that I still have S-on. How can I get S-off on my phone when I've only access to the bootloader? Sorry if this is a bit off a noob post, I've simply not the experience with the incredible to know. Thank you so much.

Btw, no I didn't flash the radio. That was the only thing I didn't attempt to flash. Yet, when attempting to flash anything else, nothing worked. Still wondering about getting S-off before using TWRP, but hopeful to still get it working. Thank you again.

BUMP/UPDATE:
Yes, I'm still at it trying to get my Dinc out of it's bootloop and up/running. It's difficult at this point to say what all I've tried. At one point I wanted to use htcdev.com to ensure the bootloader was unlocked/etc. I've had much trouble trying to get fastboot to work correctly on my pc. I've seem to get stuck on "waiting for device" which appears to be a driver error.
I gave up on that and started focusing on the RUU process. I've tried to install the entire Gingerbread 605.3 file. I fixed the error usb 170 by updated or changing htc sync software. Now I'm left with error 140 bootloader error.
I've also updated hboot using the ruu process for version 605.2. This worked on my pc and got me partially excited. Now my hboot shows up as "Locked" now at the top. I also downloaded a different Stock.img file. Hboot detected this and begun the install process. Everything came up as complete and upon reboot went right back into the white screen/incredible bootloop.
So since posting before I've updated htc sync on my pc and have officially relocked my bootloader. I don't mind RUU'ing things to stock, but now gotta get past the Error 140. Any ideas?

So I'm not sure how many are looking at this or have had ideas, but I was able to use htcdev to unlock the bootloader.
Before unlocking the bootloader I was able to RUU to image .15. After this is when I unlocked the booloader. The RUU said it was complete, but I still only bootloop on the incredible white screen. Now, some of the pb31img.zip files I've come across don't even try to install. This includes signed and unsigned .15 img files. Currently these are the new settings to the phone:
Bootloader: unlocked, s-on
hboot 1.07.0000
radio - 2.15.10.12.20
Image version: 4.08.605.15
The last option I can think of is to try using fastboot, but won't that essentially do the same thing? If you think fastboot is the way to go, can u link me or give me some basics on using it. Obviously I used it for unlocking the bootloader so it can't be that complicated.
Are there any other ideas or should I give up on my Dinc? Looking forward to hear what you think. Thanx.

somebody recommended you install TWRP and install a stable Jellybean ROM. Did you try that?
