root droid incredible 2 locked up after update - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I have rooted my droid incredible 2 about 3 months ago and not thinking I let it do a software update today, now it powers up for about 2 minutes
Then it shuts down. When it powers up again it shows a trash can being emptied then shows a explanation mark in a triangle and does nothing. Any help would be great.

I think your custom recovery was erased. Are you alpha revved s-off? You probably have to flash clockwork recovery again

I'm sorry what do you mean alpha revved off, how would I check that?

That happend to me the other day

-hold power+volume down (bootloader)
-go to recovery
-wipe and flash something
-boot whatever you flashed
I hope I helped

Can you go into more detail about
-wipe and flash something
-boot whatever you flashed

Lets slow down before you try flashing or wiping anything so you don't do more damage. You said that you rooted your phone 2-3 months ago. Which method did you use to root your phone?
Also are you able to get into recovery using steps 1-4 in joefrog1996's post?

I believe it was called revolutionary and yes I can go to the reboot screen 1-4

Do you have any ROMS, on your SD card? Have you flashed an alternate recovery? Are you S-off?
I have S-off, and I'm rooted. This happened to me while running bonestock 5.XXXX.
If you still don't know what I'm talking about you may not have hacked your phone enough. (S-off, Rooted, clockwork recovery) I think that's all I've done

I did down load the clockwork recovery, as far as the s- off I don't know or how to check that.

I went to the fast boot page on the phone and if it helps the info given is

You just need to flash a new recovery again via fastboot. Do you have adb installed on your computer. You should still have it since you ran revolutionary. After flashing a new recovery just flash a new ROM.
Your CWM recovery needs to be in the same folder as fastboot.exe
open cmd as administrator
Code:
adb remount
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery***.img
Then you can flash a new rom

i'm not to sure how to do that.

First of all, i need to know if you have adb installed. yes or no. We can't proceed without it.

okay
unzip the attached file to your root drive C:\
It will be called c:\win just like mine.
open cmd as administrator
cd c:\win
and follow my commands from my other post.

When i run adb.exe i get unable to locate component - thr application has failed to start because abwinap.dll was not found.
i sorry im probley making this to harder then it should be.

when i run revolutionary it tells me your device:/sbin/sh: getprop:not,with hboot/sbin/sh:getprop: not is not supported at this time. press (almost) any to exit

Alight, turn off your router- remove your sim - boot - turn airplane mode- turn on router- download rom (anything from xda)- download rom manager- click flash clockwork recovery - turn phone off - go to recovery- factory reset - then flash the rom you downloaded to your SD card....
Let me know if you have issues

when i boot i have just enough time to get to airplane mode before it shuts down, with or with out the sim in it.

Removing the sim is just to stop the update, airplane mode is just to make sure they phone dosnt check for updates.
Are you S-off, in hboot it will say s-on or s-off
And are you sure you are rooted?
You didn't HTC dev unlock it did you?

How to recover recovery loss issue?

Good day XDA,
Woke up today to a phone that was having sim card issues. i restarted the phone and it kept having the same issues. I reseated the sim card and still the same issue. And then it turns from a simple SIM card issue to a whole system issue. I restart the phone and the HTC screen will load and then the phone turns off. I can only load into bootloader and cannot access recovery.
I attempted to flash recovery manually via fastboot but get an error about it not being allowed.
I suspect this is because I do not have an engineering hboot. What should i do next? Any tips?
my hboot currently is as follows.
VISION pvt Ship S-Off
Hboot-0.82.0000
Radio-26.03.02.26_m

Sep 2 2010, 17:59:38
The rom i was on was CM 7.1
and root method was rage.
Thanks

First off, I don't think the SIM card can cause this problem so that's not really the issue with not being able to boot. You might be able to run 'adb reboot recovery' without the engineering hboot but if not, follow the guide in the wiki to flash the engineering hboot and try pushing recovery again that way.

You mean "fastboot devices", right?
Yea so i figured that its impossible to run adb from bootloader as its pre-android. you can only do fastboot.
I pulled the sdcard out of the phone and it loads the recovery but then it shuts down almost immediatly.
is there any way to somehow go to stock with my current bootloader
so i can begin root process all again.

(HELP) Red triangle on recovery

I am rooted and on fresh rom with s-on and hboot 0.79.00 . I want to flash new roms but i am not able to do so coz recovery is nt working.PLEASE HELP ME
Do you remember how you rooted. You either rooted with toast method (PC36IMG file), Simple Root, or Unrevoked?
I bought this off ebay so i have no idea how he rooted. Can you please guide me how to flash rom without recovery?
Busybox installed I hope, and latest version?

There are several different ways to go.
The quickest way (might not work and is just a temp fix) is to download, then unzip the zip file to EVO-RECOVERY folder on your computer. Boot the phone into RECOVERY (with the red triangle), then run the recovery-windows.bat file if you're running Windows on your computer and see does that do anything. Whether or not it works would tell me exactly how the phone was rooted.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/EVO-recovery.zip
The phone is s-on, you're going to need to run unrevoked to gain s-off so you can flash a recovery. You can't flash any unofficial zips in hboot with s-on. Search for unrevoked and your hboot version to find the correct version of unrevoked to unlock the bootloader(hboot).

Toast Method 1 (only needed a PC36IMG file and a temp recovery) or the old Unrevoked (3.1 something, before unrevoked-forever was added). It did not need S-OFF for just flashing ROMs.

Good point. I rooted and S-off via toast right after launch. I guess if someone only did his first step it would look like that. Good point. Speaking of toast, I just threw up quotes of his latest post all over general subforum in all the threads where people are trying to decide if they want nexus or Evo LTE.
They locked the one X down like no tomorrow. Team win and toast can't get recovery to access USB for mount while in recovery. Making me lean nexus.

Did you ever try the EVO-RECOVERY download. No one said anything about pressing volume up and the power button. When you see the red triangle, do not do anything except run the recovery-windows.bat file on your computer (after extracting the files to the EVO-RECOVERY folder) to see if a recovery menu appears. I forgot to mention that the phone must be connected to the computer.
If that does not work, then you might want to go to the unrevoked site and follow their root instructions.

Perfect, the quickest way.
Download the attached files and place them on the root of your SD card.
Flash the unrevoked-forever from the temporary recovery menu that I gave you. That will turn the phone S-OFF.
Then run the PC36IMG file through the bootloader (power off the phone, then volume down +power buttons) and accept the update. That will give you the latest Amon permanent recovery. I also added the superuser.zip file in case you need to flash it (especially on stock ROM if you need it for superuser permissions).
Thank you Everyone
I found the problem and fixed it. Thank you everyone for helping me out.

No problem. I just tried to give you a work around to Toast Method 2 (I see the phone was rooted with Toast Method 1 only) which would also S-OFF the phone, but is more complicated.
You could have also used unrevoked, but you probably would needed to unroot first, then install the Hboot drivers, then run unrevoked (not to mention downloading all of those things) which would have taken some time.

How to restore Nandroid backup?

The kicker is, i lost root on my phone... no Recovery.. i can get into HBoot...
My phone is always stuck on reboot loop.. theres a few odd times where it makes it into OS but then reboots again.
So I was going to my old files and noticed that I still have my Nandroid backup, so if i put this back onto my phone, will it be saved?
I cant even get it too root without the phone rebooting..
What root method did you use? What hboot do you have? Are you still s-off? What were you running prior to this happening like rom ect ? Have you tried a RUU yet? This type of information can help people try to figure out how to fix it

Since revolutionary only requires the phone to be in fastboot to s-off it. Plug your phone into your computer install the required drivers and run revolutionary program it should read your device and precede from there by typing your beta key from the website and installing a recovery from the revolutionary program. Then wipe and flash a custom rom

I think you do, I believe most root methods use a combination of adb and fastboot. After you install it, make sure you're running the root method from the same directory as adb.exe and fastboot.exe are in (should be platform-tools).
i have places the adb.exe and fastboot.exe in the same directory as revolutionary but it still waiting for device...

Can you access your sdcard? Because if you can download a recovery and rename it PC36100.ZIP and put it on the root of your sdcard. When you go to your bootloader just go into the menu with the recovery option (Cant remeber atm) and it should come up asking you if you want to update the file. Press whatever button it asks you to press then you should get recovery

this may be a stupid question but did I need to do anything with the vhwk files like I did on my first dinc2? I never used those files this time because I was thinking the process was different with the taco root method.
If you've gone through Tacoroot and Revolutionary (which it appears you have) and have installed CWM, you still need to install SU. You can't select Recovery from HBoot? You may need to move the P32IMG.zip files from the root of your SD card and reboot. It should allow you into Recovery to flash SU.

All that it does is get stuck at the HTC screen.
Things that I have tried.
New Ruus

The phone is recognized in fastboot,
ADB does not recognize the phone.
I have been going through the forum, and websites for the last 4 hours.
Factory Reset reboots the phone and gives me a security warning.
Recovery does the same.
I also get the USB Not recognized error once the phone comes on. I have installed the HTC drivers, I have also installed HTC Sync and have removed it.
Am I stressing and overlooking something simple? Or, do I need to take this phone out back and lay it to rest.
Thank you in advance

I don't own this phone but how did this happen? I'm assuming your rooted and unlocked if you got s recovery and stuff. And if your recovery works.. just Mount your SD card and transfer a ROM from your PC and flash one.. make sure you flash the kernel too. That or run the ruu

I was given this phone because because it is stuck in the bootloop. Phones come with their own recovery, this isn't a custom recovery. I have tried to run ruus, the error I get is Main version is older. I have also downloaded official stock roms with no luck.
When I hit recovery, the phone reboots back to the bootloader, the recovery never comes up.

Thank for replying xxLemonxx
I was given this phone because because it is stuck in the bootloop. Phones come with their own recovery, this isn't a custom recovery. I have tried to run ruus, the error I get is Main version is older. I have also downloaded official stock roms with no luck.

Ohh so someone messed it up and just gave it to you for free? Or for you to repair? Either way I don't follow the droid inc2 but maybe im sure its rooted if its in a boot loop so try going into fast boot and go into cmd prompt and try to install a recovery. Look up how to install a recovery through CmD Prompt on the Pc. On my phone can't explain all of it. And then just transfer over a ROM probably cm9 and follow the instructions
Unless you want to go back to stock? Not sure if you know about ROMs and kernels?

Thats exactly what happened, it was given to me to me in this condition, and if I can fix it I will get paid for doing so.
Yes, I am familiar with roms, and kernels, I currently use an Evo 4g with Swagged out Stock X 2.0.9.8
Ive also rooted and flash cm7 on plenty of phones, I even have cm7 on my HP Touchpad.
I can't for the life of me figure this out. It has me highly intrigued. I am known for stressing out and overlooking minor small steps, so I wanted get some input from the community.
I currently have fastboot open, I am not entirely familiar with the Incredible 2, but normal case S-on = none rooted from my experience.
it was devunlocked then relocked i believe, from the error message i believe you are not flashing the right ruu, you are trying to flash an older one, you need the newest one, it was released a few months ago if i recall correctly and it was no big update but thats the one you need, search for it and try it it should work. if you are s on you cant flash a older ruu than whats already on it

Hboot 98 is compatible with revolutionary root method. I would start there, rooting and s-off with a stock rooted Rom...

Your radio is .0312, so you won't be able to flash an RUU, they're all older. Can you recognize it in fastboot mode? Try unlocking again with HTCdev, then flashing a custom recovery and ROM.

Hboot .98 isn't compatible with revolutionary, only .97 is, but that doesn't make a difference anyways because you can't run revolutionary if you can't boot the phone.

OMG..... As usual... I have been overlooking the obvious path to glory. Thank you. I think I can handle it form here.
That literally took me like 2 minutes.

Are there any roms that you recommend that run smooth on the INC2?

I would proceed with s-off because it's so much better than htcdev unlock.
