Unlocked and cant flash renamed RUU in bootloader! - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Probably should have TacoRooted and flashed the ruu but just went ahead and did htc unlock. Then renamed the old ruu as 'PG32IMG' and booted up into the bootloader and tried to let it run. Keeps on loading up the blue bar on the right side but never installs the files! What am I doing wrong, seems like the simplest process out there??
Before anyone blast me for not doing the method that there is more info on in the inc 2 threads its cuz this isn't my phone. Its my moms and was planning on relocking and going s-off. I know it will say re-locked, but its damn near impossible to brick a s-off phone-atleast from my experience on my rezound- and her contract is almost up so its not going be going back! Plus I figured I might be able to edit the characters of the boot screen like on some other htc's and maybe do something similar like 'oem writesecureflag 3' on my Rezound.
Any help would be appreciated!!

just my 2 cents, but doesn't he have to relock to flash an ruu

It can't be the download, relocked and tried to flash - it actually starts to flash but stops and says something like...cannot install older version.
Was going to try to force it through 'fastboot flash...' But adb won't find it - haven't messed with a Inc2 for a while and the s-off process is dif for my rezound - can't remember if you can push it like that while unlocked.

[Q] How to unbrick Dinc?

I was Flashing the OTA 2.2 Froyo Leak a while ago and it just didnt finish for some reason. Now when I try to turn it on it Vibrates 5 times and has a green blinking light.
Also it is S-ON now for some reason as well.
I have looked everywhere and cannot find a solotion.
Any help is appreciated.
Edit* I have tried flashing other roms and still nothing, (I can access HBOOT but not Recovery) and I cannot flash recovery either. Everything but Hboot is gone. And i tried flashin Ruu and it says main system too old.
5 Vibrates is usually some kind of hardware issue, where-as 3 vibrates is usually a software issue.
BTW, if you're S-On, how are you going to flash any recovery or ROMs? You need to be S-Off before you can flash anything.

How can I get S-OFF then? I can access Recovery but it doesnt do me any good it wont read my sd card.
I have no idea what I did, but it rebooted itself and its working
this is EXTREMELY weird. I had the phone plugged in because I wanted to root, but i was first getting the SD Card files off and when I unplugged the phone the same thing happened already....
So then I plugged the phone on again, went into HBOOT and ran the image until it told me it cant be read, and rebooted and back to normal....
Any idea what happened? I just wanna get opinions out of curiosity.

cool. But no you don't want to be s-off for flashing the RUU back to stock, then you actually flash a s-on image first.

He said he was trying to flash recovery and other ROMs to try and get it to work though too... You can't flash custom recovery without being S-Off.
If you want to flash back the RUU, and go back to complete unrooted stock... then yeah, you want S-On.

Untrue, you can flash ROMs without being S-OFF. I was rooted and flashing ROMs before unrevoked released "forever."

So were the images previous to Unrevoked's S-Off patch just signed properly? I didn't get a DINC and root it until after Unrevoked had released their patch.

Like I said previously, 5 vibrates is usually a hardware issue, meaning you're most likely going to have to send it in for replacement. There's been a few people to recover from a 5-vibrate brick, but they had gotten lucky. You can search the forums and try to find how they fixed it (can't remember the thread off hand, just do a search for 5 vibrates and you'll get lots of results).

simi brick?

I have hw 003 hboot 2.10. I can enter hboot but not recovery. during normal boot phone just shows evo boot screen and boot loops. same thing when I try to enter recovery. I was s-off but after trying some methods in other brick threads I ended up with s-on.
I was using miui 2.2.3 when I turned it rebooted into recovery to make a nand and that is when the loops started. I have tried several ruu's with no luck on getting it to boot. was going to try the lastest ruu but not sure if I should.
I am flashed for cricket so there is not the option of bricking and returning to sprint for a replacement.
Edit: was not using twrp. Ar 2.3 was my recovery. As stated earlier I tried several ruu's in pc36img.zip.
If you can get to hboot you are not bricked. Have you tried using a pc36img of a stock rom in the hboot? This should boot you to a stock rom, thus allowing you to re-root and get your recovery back.

No i had been running miui for a few days and was getting prepared for the next update by doing a nand. I rebooted to recovery with the reboot option in the rom. Then bang boot loop city here i am.

You weren't using twrp2.0 were u? If you were more than likely SOL that's one of the main reasons twrp for the evo is no longer supported even tho it works great on other devices like the kindle fire and 3vo I use it on the KF which I have running cm9 which I just got running on the evo as well now I gotta get my kernel fixed for this thing, have you tried reflashing your recovery?

You guys flatter me .
I don't have any experience with MIUI, though. It's the one ROM I've never tried, but if it's an AOSP ROM, then the bootloop of death is always a possibility.
We haven't had any success rescuing anyone in that scenario, unfortunately. Flashing the ENG HBOOT will allow you to run fastboot commands, though, so that's probably the first step if you want to flash stuff through fastboot.
If you can't get adb working, then there probably isn't much hope. Since you ended up S-ON, and now without a custom recovery, I don't think there's much you can do. Perhaps others with a similar issue can chime in, but as far as I know, there's no current solution. The only way I'd know for sure is having the phone in my hands personally, but I doubt that's a possibility. I haven't personally experienced this bootloop thing, but it sounds scary .

EDIT: This is the thread - you'll probably want to read the whole thing, and if you have issues, maybe you can PM the guy that got it working.
The potential problem I see for you is that you're S-ON and bootloader is locked. You're probably going to have to unlock your device with HTCDev.com before you can make any headway. How were you able to write NV items to the phone? Don't you have to be S-OFF to do that?

[Q] Dinc2 reboots on lockscreen after s-off

I have a fairly strange problem. My wife got tired of the Verizon bloatware on her Dinc2 so I offered to root and flash it to a nice rom. Her only requirements were that it work both as a phone and as a camera. After an uneventful downgrade, s-off, root and CWM, we tried aeroevan's unofficial CM9. We found that the camcorder was broken. Next we tried the MikRoms Incredible 2 HD Rls1. This worked beautifully in every respect except one: when I rebooted the phone, it went into a loop. The phone would boot to the opening lock screen.. in some cases I could even unlock it.. and then either turn off or reboot (which one seemed random). After getting back into the bootloader, I tried all the obvious things:
Wiping all partitions
Reloading the ROM
Trying a different ROM
Flashing back to a Stock ROM + root
Flashing back to stock 2.3.3.
In every case, the phone works perfectly with the new ROM up until it is rebooted, after which it goes into a loop at the lockscreen. The only ROM that DOES work is aeroevan's unofficial CM9. It reboots without any issues, but of course the camcorder and camera flash are busted there. At least it's usable as a phone again.
I've looked and looked, and either my google-fu is failing me utterly or this is a fairly unusual problem. Does anyone have the faintest idea what's going on here and how I can work at fixing it?
This is a well known issue with 605.05 software phones (and several other threads already about this). There is a PSA in Development warning this issue exists. Only guaranteed ROMs without issue are AOSP ROMs. If you want working camera, flash CM7.
I have also heard that flashing the radio packaged with the latest software may fix the issue, you can give that a try. You could also try flashing Condemned Soul's 6.xx ROM in development section.

Perhaps you can help me sort out an issue. I tried rooting and getting S-Off by using the tacoroot, and flashing a new radio method. I got to the radio part, and got the radio onto the root of the sdcard as per the instructions. The phone boots into fastboot, and it checks the radio file, but it says incorrect file a few times, and then returns to the fast boot menu. I didn't know if it worked, or not so i tried to reboot the phone normally but at the lock screen it reboots.
I tried pushing the radio file using adb but it doesnt seem to want to connect to the phone anymore.
I followed these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751796
After going through some fastboot options I flashed the recovery from fastboot and it booted up and stayed booted, i'm assuming i have to start over, which I don't care about, I just need some advice about what is up with the radio not wanting to flash.

Check the md5sum, might be a bad download. You won't need to start over if you're S-OFF already, you can always flash an AOSP ROM to get it working and go from there.

You can check the md5sum from the phone, just use terminal emulator (might need busybox installed). To check if you are S-OFF, boot into the bootloader and it should say S-OFF.

You can try doing an ruu if you want it stock. However im thinking since your on the newest hboot it is going to give you a firmware to new error and fail, as there is no ruu at least yet for 4.08.605.15.
If you want to root or the above dosent work, you need to unlock your bootloader with the htcdev site, and then fastboot flash cwm recovery.

Well then if that dosent work and factory resetting dosent work, about your only option is to try to root and flash a rom. First step is to unlock the bootloader. http://htcdev.com/bootloader.
From the HTC site it tells me I need USB debug on and I have no way to get that turned on it never boots up.. any suggestions?

Skip that step. It is going to have you try to do an ruu to get an unlockable bootloader, just skip that as the 1.07 hboot is already unlockable.
Thank you so much for the help. Got it all back using the HTC site and your help. Once that updated used safe mode and turned on usb debug and flashed revoke.. I'm in great gratitude and so is my daughter. She has a Tbolt I'm teaching her to flash roms on. She just turned 8. Her TB is on vzw so i had to use safe mode to skip set up.

("Main version is older") Stuck on HTC Bootloader

I'm on a HTCDEV unlocked Inc2 and tried to get S-OFF tonight. Big fail. Hopefully somebody can help ASAP.
I relocked the bootloader through adb. Then went into bootloader, where the phone scanned and installed the RUU.zip I had renamed as per instructions. All went fineand I tried to open revolutionary but it kets scanning for deviced. Rebooted and but it keeps reloading the bootloader and trying the same RUU install over again and keeps failing saying "main version is older." ADB won't talk to the phone and now I'm dead in the water.
HEEEEELLLLP!!!!
Edit: Fastboot adb is talking and connected.
You try with taco root to downgrade?

Didn't think I could do tacoroot since I'm already rooted.
As an update. I was able to re-unlock and get back to the normal functioning bootloader. I actually hit factory reset and after showing the verizon update screen it booted into my old CM9 ROM. I totally botched this.
Actually you need taco root your just rooted from unlocked and soffing while unlocked is bad that's why you need to relocked use taco root method to get temporary root to achieve the downgrade and be able to use revolutionary

I read the instructions completely wrong. I though I had to lock- apply the gingerbread .zip , re-unlock and then revolutionary. Whoooops. Back to S-ON for me. I guess it'll have to wait for another night.
