Droid Incredible Return to Stock Problem - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Genius developers at XDA!
I have a bit of an issue
I got my hands on a Droid Incredible running stock 2.3.4 and decided to root it. I unlocked my bootloader using HTCDev, downgraded to 2.2, rooted, flashed CWM, flashed the unrevoked forever s-off patch, flashed superuser, then began testing custom roms. I installed CyanogenMod 7.2 to the device for a while but decided to return to stock. I then flashed the unrevoked forever s-on patch and it went fine. I then tried to flash 2.2 to the device via RUU and it came up saying "ERROR 155." I figured I would try the HBOOT method but nothing appears to happen when I try this. The blue bar appears, it loads, then nothing. I tried to flash 2.3.4 to the device via RUU and got the same "ERROR 155." I don't know what else to try and I cannot find anything else. My bootloader is unlocked, according to HBOOT I have version 1.02.0000, also my radio is 2.15.00.07.28. I tried flashing HTCDev's HBOOT just to see what happens and I got the same error as mentioned above. Basically I can flash any rom I want to besides stock. I would like to return to stock rom, remove root, be on 2.3.4, and get rid of CWM. However, if i can, I'd like to retain my unlocked bootloader.
Please let someone know how to fix this or maybe we can come up with an idea.
Thanks

Did you make a nandroid backup of the stock rom to flash back to?

Put it back to S-OFF and try again... It could be because of the new HBOOT

I did make a nandroid of stock but I believe its rooted.

Ill try that

Alright I flashed soff again and the hboot installed. I then used ruu to install froyo to update to gb. Froyo installed but I still have soff and no longer have custom recovery. The device also won't install gb and it shows a failure image when in recovery. Anyone know how I can get s-on? Also I believe the recovery failure is due to having an unlocked bootloader which I plan on relocking

Either install custom recovery with ADB or use the regular UrEVOked to flash clockwork.

Then relock your bootloader by typing into adb fastboot_oem_lock that should allow an RUU for GB to run

Alright I used unrevoked to root and flash clockwork. I installed s-on and returned to froyo. Now the bootloader won't relock. I typed in fastboot OEM lock and it says nothing after <waiting for devices>

Yeah do you still want s-off if not just reflash the s-on patch .... now you can flash the GB RUU

Actually, some of it will be updated. Im adding everything thats been updated, and making an ODEX and DEODEX'd version for everyone and fixing some small bugs. This download is the one thing that wont be included and for full tech support from team blueridge you must update to this radio and hboot (only if you are Virgin Mobile USA)
I'm on virgin so triple yay!!!!!!!!!!

Will I have to re-unlock bootloader after this? Also, is the Goldcard S-OFF method compatible with this Radio/HBOOT?
Also, what radio version is this?
Soff before you upgrade, if you want to soff. Soff will always stick, along with unlock. You wont have to re-unlock the bootloader. The radio Im unsure of, but was included by HTC. And i can attest that the signal is way better for me atleast. It solved the problem where I was getting an error with too much data streaming. Hboot is v 1.10.0001
How long should it take to parse? It found the PG76IMG.zip, but it said it was parsing and never did anything. I waited 5-10 minutes. There wasn't a progress bar in the top right like normal, either.
I am having the same problem
Shouldn't take too long. The only thing I can think of is that your not S-Off

I'm not. When I follow the S-OFF tutorial, the Goldcard.exe app doesn't reformat so I reformat elsewhere and I continue the process after wiping on another computer and HBOOT tells me "Security Fail!" when I try to flash PG76DIAG.zip and PG76DIAH.nbh. However, since S-OFF problems aren't directly related to this, I'll post in the Blue Ridge thread or general.
You upgraded before soff... Downgrade to the oldest possible hboot ruu and then soff and then upgrade again
i installed it but the screen became off and now it doesn't start... what can i do to restore it? i can't also switch on the phone with vol - and power... please help me
this is VM only. But an ruu should do the trick
May I ask what's new?

Its not "rubbish" its an update with a better radio, no recovery gets wiped, and if your smart your already soff so you can downgrade hboot if you wish. But if you want fastboot commands you must update your hboot, and unlock. Even With LOCKED at the top of the screen you can still flash whatever you want in zip form.. LEARN Before you post...

[Q] Need help going back to stock ROM from newest HBOOT

Hey guys... been doing this a while but recently I decided to sell my old evos that were rooted, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to go back to stock.
First of all, my device is the HTC Evo 4G and I had the Amon-RA v2.3 recovery installed. I booted into that and reflashed back to stock using pc36img_supersonic_s_sprint_wwe_3.70.651.1_radio_2.15.00.11.19_nv_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip. Now I just need to relock and I'm golden, right? But how do I relock? to that just fine.
Currently I'm at HBOOT 2.10 and radio 2.15.00.11.19 and I'm unlocked with S-ON (I am NAND unlocked with no watermark)
Thanks for any advice
Could you post a picture of your bootloader screen?
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
NAND UNLOCKED WITH S-ON AND NO WATERMARK?--technically doesn't make sense. Your NAND is only unlocked if your bootloader reads either S-OFF or UNLOCKED on an Evo.
If you are S-ON with no watermark, then it sounds like you are already NAND locked. Do you not have a stock ROM or do you have Superuser installed or have a custom recovery? If so, all you need to do is run the PC36IMG file again. You have the correct one. If not, then your phone is already fully unrooted with NAND lock.
I'm not understanding what you mean, because your NAND is already locked, unless you want the Hboot with the watermarked "LOCKED OWW" that you really don't need if the phone is already unrooted. If you do let us know and we will give you a link.

Interesting. I thought after flashing the ROM I would be still rooted. I tried flashing RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.54.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed.exe and this is the result:
No. Nand unlock is basically an unlocked or S-OFF bootloader on a Evo.
http://androidforums.com/incredible...hink-i-understand-root-but-nand-recovery.html
Your phone is really all set, unless you want to update it to the latest update. In that case you could just OTA it, then factory reset.
AND PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF THIS HELPED YOU.

S-on and boot.img

Hey guys, I just have a quick question I wanted to get clarified. I'm S-on and HTCDev unlocked. When flashing roms from our development section, do we need to flash the boot.img separately via fastboot? The reason I ask is this is not address specifically in the Rom threads in our section, but looking at the Droid DNA, this appears to be necessary for folks who are s-on.

I have been away from HTC for a bit but to the best that I can recall you can't flash kernels in recovery via S-ON, only with S-OFF.
thus, you flash ROM, then reboot to fastboot flash kernel reboot and touchdown!

Thanks Andy, wasn't quite sure based on the info I was seeing, now back to flashing!

You can flash boot from recovery if HTCDev unlocked, no S-off needed. An unlocked S-on is basically like a Nexus device, you can flash everything you SHOULD be flashing . See Koush's post about this https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/P1i8qzLfkTm

This is a great explanation and really shows that S-OFF is not a "necessity" as it was before. HTC seems to have listened to concerns regarding DEV Unlock on the One by allowing boot.img to be flashed from recovery.
Thank you for the feedback guys, its been very helpful!

What exactly does rumrunner do?

Kinda self explanatory, what does rumrunner do to the phone. What parts of the phone are effected? Does a new kernel get updated? If I flashed a stock kernel would I be theoretically "stock"? I'm trying to fix my phone because I managed to get s-on and I want to go back to stock and send my phone for warranty.

Well. S-ON is how your phone came.. so that would be stock, for the bootloader.
rumrunner sets the S-ON to S-OFF (Security On/Security Off)
Once a phone is turned S-OFF it's like you have FULL control of the phone. You can flash a ROM and a kernel as many times as you want (as long as it is made for your phone)
You can be rooted and flash ROMs while not being S-OFF, but S-OFF is like the best of the best for HTC.
You can set the flag back from S-OFF back to S-ON for like you want say a warranty purpose.
This is when the "RUU" comes in handy.
Problem is you need to be S-OFF to run it..
So, you would have to re-run rumrunner, to get S-OFF again, run the RUU, (this will set you back to 100% stock)
then you can run the command to set you to S-ON and you should be good to go.

Magic. It does awesome magic.
Well I used rumrunner and managed to set my phone back to s-on using an adb command. If I try to run rumrunner again it doesn't work and says to "READ". So now I have to somehow get s-off. The forum says you need stock ROM and stock kernel, can I flash a stock kernel and then run rumrunner?

Don't forget, rumrunner needs stock EVERYTHING, including ROM, kernel recovery, s-on and a locked bootloader. So if you still have adb connectivity, relock the bootloader. Search the forum for the fastboot command to return to "locked", not "relocked". @scotty1223 made a guide to change the bootloader.

What ROM are you running? Why do you believe you only need to flash a stock kernel and not a stock ROM? You're missing something which is why it says to "READ". You aren't following the directions exactly.
If you want help, you need to provide more information. Why did you run the fastboot command to go back to S-On? (Just curious)

What about the signed RUU? Can't that be run while S-On?
I'm still running the stock ROM. I never found a custom ROM with the things I wanted. I had a hard time getting cwm installed and someone tricked me into using the command to switch back to s-on. But I'm trying to get the s-off so I can use an RUU

The signed RUU (the one with the really absurdly long filename) is specifically for flashing while your phone is still S-ON.

There is no special method. If it's an encrypted RUU then it works for S-On.

Sorry I just haven't had time yet to actually reset my phone and I was trying to get all my questions out so when I did finally have time I wouldn't have to ask questions then. One last question, am I correct saying the ruu resets all data on the phone?

Yes, it does.
Also, when you fastboot oem lock, you will see an error message but before it you will see that the bootloader did lock, so don't worry. I just tested it out.
If you want to have the current status on your bootloader just type in fastboot reboot-bootloader
