Help - S - off not working - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

HI everyone, I need some help. My micro USB port went on my phone and VW sent me a replacement. I used the tacoroot temp root methond and the Revolutionary to gain s- off and flashed the newest radio etc. All seemed fine. Fastboot screen say S- off and shows newest radio, I thought great! time to root. Nope..here is what I get:
first of all I have to use adb shell to boot the phone into Revolutionary/CWM recovery. It will not let me do it by holding the power and vol down button.
second when I go into recovery and pick a rom to flash I get this error: E:Can't open /sdcard/xxxx_ rom.zip.
makes no sense to me. Any Ideas?

You didn't receive any errors when using revolutionary? When you boot up your ROM go into settings and look under the power option and make sure fast boot is disabled.
I would go through the whole process again. It sounds like something went wrong in rooting.

Yes, you do.
Edit: And your post would be Q&A, not development.
Did u try pressing volume down and power at the ! Screen? I know clockwork usually comes up directly using rom manager, but you can still get to clockwork that way.

None of these suggestions are going to do any good if he hasn't the flashed the engineering image.

I did previously flash the ENG build and I have to go through the first part of the root process every time I want to use Clockwork. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong...

Why would you not flash the eng? It takes 5 minutes that save on asking repetitive questions. Many people will tell you that you DON'T need to flash it, but if everybody flashed the eng build, everytime there was a problem people wouldn't have to ask, "Did you flash the eng build?" Kind of a time-saver and yes it irons out ALL the kinks other than user error.
The belief that it WASN'T necessary was started by Wes Garner because one of his ROMS never installed correctly, but to this day, it still remains uninstallable...so it has nothing to do with the eng build being the prob.
Just my 2 cents, bro.

The engineering rom being optional is like saying leaving gas in your car is optional. I mean, sure, you could always leave it empty and walk to the gas station with a can and come back every time you wanted to start it, but its a heck of a lot easier if you just leave some gas in the tank for next time.

You have restored your phone back to stock recovery doing that. You need to reinstall the engineering image.

Just make sure you keep the update.zip on your sd. It didn't let you get straight into clockwork anyway. You need rom manager or bootloader to recovery then update.zip will get you in everytime with the ENG build

Trying to recovery partially bricked phone

Okay, so a friend asks me to fix her Dinc... here's the story.
When I first got the dinc, it only powered up into FASTBOOT (HBOOT 0.92, Radio 2.15). The volume and power buttons don't work. She said it crashed when she FC a program to get more memory.
I tried to flash the phone using pb31img.zip on a newly formatted (fat32) sdcard. It scans the card and errors with older version.
Next I try to flash with RUU. That was successful and I can boot into the phone... in safe mode. In addition, if I shut down the phone and power up again, I get stuck in FASTBOOT and have to redo the RUU.
Okay, I figured with the phone booting into Froyo, all is not lost. I tried to use unrevoked to get root and poke around. That failed with error asking if firmware is too new.
I try to install z4root... that doesn't work either since safe mode seems to mean only default system programs work (I can install, but can't run). Probably why unrevoked failed also.
I'm starting to think it is a hardware issue since the RUU should have fixed everything.
Any ideas???
Thanks.
Go to this website and follow the steps to exit safe mode and see if that solves your problem.... let me know?

As I mentioned, none of the buttons in fastboot seems to work, so I can't reboot, just a battery pull. Interestingly, when I have the pb31img there, it scans and tells me its an older version, but then the buttons work... reboots back into fastboot.
I'm thinking of trying the revert to 2.1 and go from there... is it safe to flash over the latest Froyo RUU with 2.15 radio with the following?

Any luck Woz?
Yes, Doug gave me a bunch of roms to flash. Nothing worked. The last step we did before I took a break was to get into recovery using adb. Then I wiped cache and data. That didn't seem to work. Flashed another rom using recovery. Nada.
I put the phone down for a few hours. Then I decided to crack it open to see if it was a refurb (cheap label makes me suspicious). Nothing unusual inside, I put it back together and powered on... the thing booted normally... everything worked.
Doug suspects it was the data/cache wipe, I don't know. I think it was the bug that got let out when I cracked it open.

what ROM can I install without rooting?

I have posted my problem with my HTC droid incredible in the Q&A forum here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352060, I wonder if I can install any ROM (maybe the official one?) on my phone without rooting? the ROMs I have found so far all require rooting first, but I cannot even boot into Android on the phone now, because I think I screwed it up. thanks guys

Was it not working when they gave it to you because that is crap? In that case you got a bad rom on your device from the start.

evo 4g lte is fried, so i brought out an evo 4g out of retirement. must have popped in the wrong sd card (can't find the other one and have no idea what's on it regardless).
rebooted the bootloader and apparently flashed an unknown pcimg zip. now i have no idea what hboot or anything ese was attempted t be put on here. i was getting just the white htc evo 4g screen. then got it to eventually go to the light grayish screen w the big yellow 4G screen. now i'm getting either a blank black screen or a pop up that reads: Sorry! Process System is not responding.
and just now got it to go back to the big yellow 4G.
any ideas on what to do assuming i have nothing from when the phone was in operation? (in other words, i'm assuming the worst case scenario, like i have no nandroid backups, RUU, etc. at my fingertips.)
please help.
and now i'm at the lock screen which reads:
no service
correct time
correct date
and it will not move.

Just download any sense ROM.
Try the latest rooted stock ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516892
Basic steps:
Download it (either odex or deodex doesn't matter)
Check md5
Put it somewhere on your SD card that's easy to find (any directory will do, but you don't want to have to hunt around for it all day in recovery)
Make a nandroid (well, at least normally you would do this if your existing installation is something you would ever want to go back to)
Wipe everything *except* your SD card - DO NOT WIPE YOUR SD CARD without a backup
Flash the zip
Reboot
If it works, great; let it sit for awhile, then do whatever you have to do
If it doesn't work, nandroid back and ask for further assistance

First thing you need to do before installing a rom is partition your sd card to ext 3 or 4,install DT's apps2sd and then install a rom.Go here and read everything and follow the directions carefully,all the links to everything you need is in his thread,its like 2 or 3 pages.This will help you in the long run from running into more issues,trust me,i live by Hips thread.
^^^ I Love this guy!!
That's what i'll do. Ended up getting recovery installed, superwipe, rom and then (!!!?!!!)....bootloader loops. Grrr...
I flashed the only up-to-date rom i could find that didn't expressly mention partitioning the sd card - something new to me - and could hear that little geek in the back of my mind screaming at me that i needed to do so.
Thank god i have another back up evo. I'm not doing ISH to this one until i sort out the one that still charges. Stupid port malfunction...
on on....
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
well that didn't work. right back into bootloader loops.
i'll give it more attention in a few days, hopefully. the refurb LTE arrives maƱana...
