bricked? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

My phone was just downloading a file and now it won't boot past the green HTC logo white screen. The last rom I was using was one of mikroms. I have tried to restore from a backup as well as flashing a new from via recovery. I get an error during installing boot.img- I even get errors when recovery boots up. I posted images of my hbootand recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use a newer recovery. I recommend 4EXT recovery touch. Also, you're probably gonna have to flash a new ROM. You also don't need to manually flash the boot.IMG since you're s-off.

I already tried installing a new from, what I was saying is that error about installing boot.img happened when it was trying to install the from via recovery. For right now I'm just trying to get the phone to boot up. I don't think a different recovery will make that happen

Well considering yours is super outdated, it could be. Older recoveries may not work right all the time. Thus being why they released later versions.

Dude, even if you don't think a diffrent recovory will help just do it anyway. You can't break your phone anymore than it already is.

Had this happen a while back. Had to run a stock ruu, then reload recovery, then flash super user for root.

You're on an old radio, too. Probably the recovery is the culprit, though.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys. I'll try to flash a new recovery tonight and if that doesn't work I'll try updating radios. I'll post back with results. Cheers!

Well Im basically stuck. My computer will not recognize the inc. I have never synced this device up with this computer when it was up and running. Only with my rezound. Either way when the device is connected adb will not recognize the device as well as the computer will not recognie the usb device. Every file i try to push to it in bootloader i get error messages that device was not found. Tried fastboot flashing a new recovery as well as new radios but no luck. Ive also reinstalled htc sync, then removed. Recognizes my rezound no problem

if you have a micro->sd card adapter, place the recovery onto the root of it then go into CWM and install from sdcard, see if that works

Are you saying to install the new recovery zip, in recovery? I didn't think you could do that, and it didn't work. I've tried flashing new radios but it gets stuck on the very last part of the update and freezes until I take the battery out.

I only tried in the boot loader. So you're saying connect it to the computer while in recovery, and then run the fast boot flash recovery command?

Install drivers, turn phone on by holding down volume plus power, then go into recovery, then plug phone to PC. Should be recognized now.

The computer does recognize the device when i go into recovery. Then when i run the flash recovery command through adb it says waiting for device. It will not show sending recovery though until i go into bootloader on the device. Then adb shows "okay" and "writing recovery....." It will show this forever until i unplug the device.

Try adb wait for device after that

not quite sure exactly what you mean by that...just keep waiting while it says waiting for device while in recovery? I waited about 20 minutes..then tried waiting another 30 minutes while it was saying "writing recovery" while in bootloader

So im pretty sure the device is just done for at this point. I decided to just try to flash the device back to stock with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599767.. This also just got stuck on the recovery section. Should i just give up? lol

flash the RUU .exe which will load the stock system, recovery, kernel and everything.
If I were to restore my EVO to stock, then run the official Sprint OTA update that just came out, will I still be able to root it? Or does the new update block Toast's root method?

This is EXACTLY what I say in my head when speaking about Clockwork Mod.
I was able to get past waiting for bootloader by putting the phone in bootloader mode before running the RUU. But it gives an error message saying the bootloader version is incorrect.
dammit all i want is to go back to stock no root no nand because 4g is broken with these new ota rooted crap that came out today!
Can someone post the stock recovery or a method of going back to a stock recovery pleaseeeeeee
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The steps below worked for me. I had the latest clockwork,dc rom and The latest rooted ota updates installed.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/
I unplugged/plugged my phone into the computer a couple times,switched to htc sync mode when it asks what type of usb connection I wanted(to install more driver updates), and did 2 reboots on my computer (windows 7 ultimate x86) to get all the drivers updated/installed and working as they should,
then I just turned off the phone, held volume down and held down power button to get to bootloader,
then I pressed Power button one more time to get to the menu where I can reboot bootloader,
then I rebooted bootloader once or twice BEFORE the unrooting process for good measure.
Stock RUUs
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
RECAP
Download and install HTC Sync Update http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/ (if you already have it installed then click the repair option, or better yet uninstall your current one even if it is the same one, reboot your computer and then install this one again, all for good measure.)
Download either one of the RUU Stock Roms, I would do the first just to be safe http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
Plug your phone into your computer, make sure ALL Drivers install properly if any, you may already have drivers installed, but double check, switch to HTC Sync mode and let it install any extra drivers, then turn off your phone and start it in bootloader (Hold Volume Down +Power button) Reboot your computer for good measure too, to make sure everything has been properly installed.
Then you can finally double click (right click run as admin imo) RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe and start the unrooting process, good luck!
Will this work if I have clockwork mod as my recovery?

if you have clockwork, you still have system access and should beable to use any of those RUU's to downgrade back to stock.
i did the same thing and now im back at stock and have latest update running stock rom.
put phone into bootloader mode, then run RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253.exe
follow steps. and then you should have stock evo.
check for OTA updates and install it.
wait 10-15 minutes before rebooting after the update completes..
mine kept saying there was an update. which there wasnt, it just kept trying to download same update.
Yes it should I had clockwork too.

@Tundricles i cannot use ruu to unroot because i don't have the HTC Drivers and before i re downloaded HTC SYNC i had some drivers just not ADB driver after downloading the program i have no drives at all !!!!!!!
is there a way i can download and manually install the htc evo drivers!!
im back to normal i can read my sd card and i can connect to pc thank you all
same problem
im on fresh 1.0.1 ive downgraded fresh wiped everything tried different ruu and nothing so far

Bricked or not bricked?

I had an issue with my phone a couple of weeks ago where I'm only able to the bootloader screen and the fastboot screen. Fortunately, I got a replacement EVO 3 days later but I'm still trying to get my old phone up and running. But after trying everything I can find, still nothing.
So my question is, when do I say that the phone is officially bricked?

If you can get to the bootloader screen, then you be able to flash an image to get you phone working again.

Believe me, I've tried everything, from using amon ra PC36IMG.zip in the bootloader. It updates successfully then still no recovery.
I've tried the ruu via bootloader, it updates successfully. It still bootloops continually.
I ran Football's recent 4.54 ruu in fastboot successfully and still nothing.
Everything I try, it continues to bootloop.

Well CM7 is the ROM typically being run when phones enter the bootloop of death. However, I've heard that there have been a couple of MIUI ROMs that have entered the bootloop of death as well. If you've flash a recovery and still cant enter it and tried to fully unroot then you might have to take it to Sprint. I'd make sure that you're fully unrooted before doing so. I would also recommend removing your SD card so that they cant try to deny you based on rooting the phone. Just a precaution.

Fortunately, I already got a new phone but the reason I didn't take it into Sprint was because it still was S-off. Since I can't get to recovery, how would I get s-on?
And now that I ran stock ruu's, is it a possibility that the PC36IMG.zip's won't be recognized anymore?
I'd love to get this phone running again and let my 7 year play some games on it but I'm afraid I may be sol!!

Well you said you tried flashing via PC36IMG, and it 'worked' but it didn't stick, i.e it didn't 'work'. What you can do is extract the boot.img from the rom / ruu, place it in your adb tools folder. Then boot the phone to the bootloader, select fastboot, connect to your pc via usb cable, open up command prompt, navigate to you adb tools folder and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
That will flash the boot image to the correct partition, then reboot the phone, and see if it boots up.

No problem.
And if the NV is corrupted, its toast. It was a flaw with the evo when you bought it, and now its decide to tap out. At that point you'd have to take it to sprint, as the NV is part of flash memory and its locked.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket it and saw that it was on the HTC boot screen. It stayed like the for a while so i shut it down using Power, Volume UP&Down.
I tried to boot again but was freezing at the HTC boot screen.
I booted into recovery and it said it couldnt load /cach/x (command and log and last_log)
Ive tried everything from flashing RUU to new HBOOTS, nothing is working.
Now my laptop keeps saying a USB port is malfunctioning everytime i plug the phone in.
Im two seconds away from smashing this with a sledgehammer.

The only issue now is I only have FastBoot Support but no ADB support. I have no idea why but my phone only shows up under fastboot devices and not adb devices. so i have no idea how to use that guide
The Inc 2 ports often go bad. Try wiggling and plugging it in not all the way. Also sometimes had to push on the cable and hold for it to recognize the USB.

If your phone can be used via fastboot it should be able to via adb. Like CS said, It might be a bad micro-usb slot. I would try wiggling it to see if that helps. Being able to access fastboot means its not bricked, it just might be a hardware failure.

This does not change hboot version so you shouldn't get that error but will put un-rooted stock and stock recovery back on your phone. Then you can install custom recovery, flash su bins and be ready to go again...... hopefully

[Q] "Error: Device not found" in adb.

Hello friends,
I'm trying to install cyanogenmod and no matter what I do I consistently get the device not found error when I try to use "adb push cm-10.2.0-RC1-endeavoru.zip \sdcard\"
I know that in the cyanogenmod install guide it says it's probable that it's a driver issue. I've looked around for a good 2 hours trying to find what it might be, so I've tried reinstalling htc sync, I've tried uninstalling htc sync and using koush's universal adb driver, but nothing seems to work.
When using "adb devices" it doesn't give me the error, it just gives me "List of devices attached" which is empty. (I'm not sure if this is what it is supposed to do though)
Attached img of what I've been doing.
USB debugging is on. It's been automatically turned on whenever I connect it to my PC since I updated to 4.2.2 anyway.
I have no idea where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

I've looked around for a good 2 hours trying to find what it might be, so I've tried reinstalling htc sync, I've tried uninstalling htc sync and using koush's universal adb driver, but nothing seems to work.
When using "adb devices" it doesn't give me the error, it just gives me "List of devices attached" which is empty. (I'm not sure if this is what it is supposed to do though)
Attached img of what I've been doing.
USB debugging is on. It's been automatically turned on whenever I connect it to my PC since I updated to 4.2.2 anyway.
I have no idea where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, I'm completely new to this. Do you mean normal recovery from bootloader or a custom recovery that I should of done but completely skipped due to my ignorance? (I also haven't unlocked bootloader so I'm assuming that's a misstep as well?)
Because all I get when I do the normal recovery is a picture of a phone with a red triangle and "!" combo.
Thanks
Yeah to install a custom rom it's mandatory to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery. And what i can tell from your post it that you really are a novice on things. Some tips ?
1: never start without a full battery
2: learn fastboot + commands
3: always make a stock rom nandroid backup before starting flashing !
Read up in this forum. Under the stickys there are some nifty guides. If you have questions after that just ask here.

Thanks for the tips!
After a while of toiling to try and unlock the boot loader manually and getting stuck at the load error for Unlock_code.bin, I found Hasoon2000's tool, so he is my god for now.
My query that I have is, Do I need a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod to create a nandroid back up? Because all I get when I try to go into recovery from the bootloader is this (img attached, not mine because I don't have another camera in the house but luckily I managed to find one on google img.)
I can't find anything saying that I do need a custom recovery, but then again it's not working when I try without one, so I'm not too sure where to go from here.
Thanks again
Please read carefully what i write, i know exactly what to do !
You need a custom recovery !
Sorry to be back again so soon but I'm stuck again, haha.
When I try to flash cwm I get "error: cannot load 'recovery.img'". When I try to use Hasoon2000's tool kit to do it for me it doesn't work either as it just says device not found and in the second command window it says that it can't load it's .img file either.
The recovery.img is in the same location as fastboot. My phone is in Fastboot in bootloader.
I'm typing "r:\Android\adt\sdk\platform-tools\fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Trying to auto complete recovery.img using tab does nothing (if that might indicate some sort of problem).
The only thing I can think of is that the MTP drivers never install properly but I read on this forum that it shouldn't affect fastboot.
If you are on windows you must select camera as usb option

If javaj jdk is just normal java then yes. In programs and features it's called Java 7 Update 45?
Do you mean the phone drivers on my PC?
Edit: Noticed jdk was the dev kit. Downloaded and installed. Will try again.
Edit2: Still not working, same errors.
Jre is normal java jdk is the development kit
and yes that drivers

I just updated the phone drivers (without HTC sync) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2376761 to 4.2.0.001 from the 4.0 version I had that HTC sync had installed previously for some reason.
Shows up in fastboot devices now. Still doesn't show up in adb devices. Still getting the can't load recovery.img error.
Would it be worth it to try doing it on another computer?
Yes and plz post results

Ok so I still couldn't do it manually on the other computer. Got the same errors as with the first. I tried flashing with Hasoon2000's tool again and noticed that it was trying to flash CWM.img while the recovery for it was actually called recovery.img. Renamed it to CWM.img and it flashed perfectly.
I assume it would of done the same on the original PC I tried it on.
No idea why it wouldn't work when I tried it manually, but yolo. Hasoon2000 is love. Hasoon2000 is life.
Holy hell Hasoon2000 has saved me again.
I flashed the kernal by accident and it got stuck in boot. So i just sideloaded the rom in H2K's tool and everything turned up Milhouse.
Yay congrats

And if it says can not load recovery that means it's named differently or that it's not placed in the same dir of the fastboot files. A common error is that people hide filename extensions in windows. Then rename the recovery to recovery.img.img and then it won't be found by fastboot

Thank you both the help.
Glad to hear that it worked

HTC ONE Complete Data loss Stuck in TWRP

So somehow my HTC One m7vzw was wiped completely of everything from the ROM, system and data to recovery image, etc. Now I cant access the developers options to turn USB Debugging on. Is there anyway to recover from such an ordeal?? HELP PLEASE !!!!!!

There is an ADB push option in TWRP which should let you put a ROM on the phone using:
adb push PUTROMENAMEHERE.zip /sdcard/.
or
You should be able to RUU something back onto the phone. Try to get to fastboot by rebooting to the bootloader from TWRP. Then you can use something like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319 Firmware update if needed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437436 RUU image
or
Alternatively, if you have an OTG cable you should be able to select a flash drive as a source media in TWRP.
I had a similar issue a few days ago when I wiped everything including my internal storage without even thinking how am I going to get the rom.zip back on the card (all my previous phones had SD cards).
In order to avoid flashing RUU I used sideload in TWRP to load rom directly through ADB. the only issue I had was with the drivers because for some reason my PC wouldn't recognize the phone (even though I used the same PC to root it) so I downloaded universal drivers that I found somewhere on the XDA.
unfortunately I don't have the links saved but if you search sideload and universal drivers I'm sure you'll find it.

To activate Developer Options, go into Stettings, then About Phone, then find Build Number. Press Build Number seven times.

You must have misread his post. Everything was wiped. There is no way to go to settings, etc. There is no rom.

Your options are to boot it to the bootloader manually by holding power and volume down, then go to fastboot and push a recovery to it, from there you can also push a Rom to your storage and then use recovery to install your Rom.

Once you have a recovery on there now just push a Rom using fastboot. Then boot into recovery and install Rom or if you already have a Rom on the internal storage just boot recovery and go from there.

When I try using adb sideload in twrp the progress bar just keeps spinning.
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Instead of side load can't you push a rom through the pc in fastboot? Drivers on your pc may not be working properly with sideload.

I have nothing on internal. Like I said all is wiped
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
you can try
You will need to reboot to recovery and enter fastboot
not sure if this is exact so research it lower case and caps are needed the way they are done in tuts i used copy and paste then edited
enter command prompt window change to where your adb stuff is
fastoot devices if you get a response with sn great
fastboot oemRUU
fastboot flash zip imagename.zip where imagename is the rom you want to put on
for recovery it is like
fastboot flash recovery imagename.zip where imagename is your custom recovery

Well I got it to get into recovery. I ended up using a HTC ONE all in one kit. So I got a stock like ROM and radio and firmware to get me going. Thing is now is when I try to sideload any ROM I keep getting stuck in either a bootloop or at the Boot Image. I still have SuperCid. I tried using the how-to on changing "mid" so that way I can use any variant ROM. But apparently I dont have a way to re-zip files So now going trying to sideload CM10.2 with GAPPS. Thing is is what I do sideload I cant find in storage. I just cant figure out why a few ROMS I had before now wont boot past the boot animation or just wont flash. PLEASE HELP
how did u make out with cm 10?
just checking in
