tried but no luck

As you can see on the bottom screenshot, fastboot is working.
I know it sounds silly but i've seen people with this error who put their Desire in the fridge (or freezer, don't know anymore, but start with the fridge) and left it there for 5 minutes. Then they ran the RUU again and it worked.
I know how it sounds, don't know why it worked but it worked.

ok,, thanks for reply bro.
i'll try than post result .
Best Regards,

it worked done both phone .
strange freezer update
i use this RUU : RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed
anyways now both phones are stuck on green htc logo

Can you try to run an other ruu? Or run the same ruu again.
1. Boot into fastboot.
2. Run the ruu.

Make sure that your current Radio and your downloded RUU radio match..
And it is good to flash via PC.. just connect your mobile and run the RUU.exe .... it will give you the excat code of the error... which will help you to find a solution

now my device can access hboot/ fastboot, but still can't access recovery mode. any advice on accessing recovery mode?
and another question, when i turn on the phone, it "sometimes" shakes 7 times and stucks in white screen with green htc logo. what does it mean? :S

Can you boot into rom.. I mean does your RUU flashing thing went fine?

You could try erasing everything - system, data, recovery, cache, dalvik - then rebuild, flash recovery in fastboot, then rom in recovery?
There is some good information on this in the android wiki

anyone?

The "Screen of Death" for the HTC is something rare and in most cases hard to recover, but you can still try some things:
1) Do you have guarantee for it. If you do you are cleared from the first. Go with your phone to them an tell them you tried to apply an OTA and this is the result. Since you ran the RUU you don't have ROOT or S-OFF anymore so you are clean.
2) Can you go in HBOOT. If yes follow this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 , 2nd post) on how to get the PB99IMG from the RUU and try flashing it from SDCARD in hboot.
I will still dig on your problem, maybe find something, but I think you wrote on a bad part of the phone and it wasn't written well.
EDIT: You don't have to create the gold card in your phone, since the gold card is unique by SDCard and not by phone. So find someone with a phone and create it using their phone and then u can use it.

I see.
I still have S=off after trying the RUU and went to error at the end when I unplug my usb cable I can see hboot.
saying the info on the first post.
but it says something with partition error
edit: when the phone is off. its normal because I can charge it using a charger or via pc.
when pressing power it doesnt vibrate.
It turns on then black background with a big white HTC logo at the center.
4 traingles with exclamation marks at the four corners of the screen
edit:it completely powers on!
my only problem now is I dont have hboot screen so evrytime my phone reboots or shuts down.
I have to connect it to pc and use fastboot :/
will alpharev tool fix this?

managed to go to cwm recovery using the command fastboot oem boot
it boots but now on boot loop :/
after unplugging my battery then turning it on it goes back to black screen with the four exclamation marks on it
sigh

Well if you managed to go to hboot, does it say that it is trying to load PB99IMG.zip from card, or you don't have your sd card mounted?
You need to run the PB99 directly from hboot not from CWM.
Did you flashed another hboot for the ROM? Another Radio for the ROM?
Try to extract the PB99IMG from the latest WWE 2.29.405.5 and run it from boot, and also make a GoldCard and put it in the phone when running it.
Did you get some kind of error number?
We have to take it step by step and try everything and maybe fix it.
If you need to mound SD Card try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531310 , maybe it can help you.
LEDIT: To create a goldcard see this: http://www.nazriawang.com/2010/04/how-to-create-goldcard-with-ubuntu.html
LLEDIT: Also you should read this thread's from the beginning till end. Even though they are for bricked display, you can follow them and it is all very well explained.

Well if this is what the RUU says then I'm afraid you can't install it since you changed the partitions of the NAND with the custom HBOOT. Maybe trying to flash the stock HBOOT will get you fixed.
I'm not too sure if the custom HBOOT could stop you from installing the RUU but from what you tell this could be the only reason.
Since you still have ROOT and S-OFF you should be able to flash it either by fastboot or by CWM.
After you install the stock HBOOT try to reload the RUU from SD.
EDIT: I dig around a little more on your problem and as jordan.harris01 said you need to downgrade your hboot or to flash the stock HBOOT. The stock HBOOT can be found on AlphaRev homepage.

All of the r2 Hboots prevent the RUU from over-writing it! You need to download the "downgrader" hboot, flash that Hboot and then you'll be able to flash your RUU without problem.

managed to fix my problem thanks guys!
both of you really helped
thanks jordan harris

[Q] Droid Incredible 2 stuck on HTC screen. Help?

I've been unable to find any help via Google on how to fix my problem.
I was installing a ROM through Rom Manager when it got stuck on the HTC screen. I had to pull the battery out. I'm able to get into the boot by holding down the volume down button and power, but selecting Recovery only sends to me the HTC screen to get stuck again. I used an app called Nandroid to create a backup on my SD card earlier.
I admit, I'm fairly new to all this (probably why this happened in the first place =/) so if you can explain how to fix my problem in layman's terms that would be great.
By the way, when I'm in the boot menu it says S-Off. I figured saying this now would skip a question later on. Also, when I first get into the boot menu it (very) briefly says something about pg32diag.zip or pg32img.zip not being found.

Use your volume keys to navigate to "recovery" then tap the power button. This will boot you into recovery and you can wipe your data, cache, and reload your ROM or load your nandroid backup

I don't suppose you have adb setup on your cpu do u. the adb reboot recovery command will kick you right to recovery
by the way don't worry about it checking for the pd img and saying not found its suppossed to do that

Same problem... Kinda...
I have almost the same problem. I was installing the Revolution HD rom, and i knew that the first boot was long, so I waited it out. I even went for like a 20 minutes run and my droid incredible 2 was still stuck on the HTC screen. So I pulled the battery. I still cant boot into the rom. However, I can get into the bootloader, but when trying to access recovery mode, my phone is stuck on that stupid HTC screen again... What do I do..?

If I were in your situation, I would probably try to backup and flash recovery again.
But PLEASE don't take my word for it. I would hate for you to brick your phone on my hunch. Wait for someone to chime in that has more experience unless you're as foolish as I am

But it wont allow me to return into recovery...
EDIT:
Now the phone will not boot at all. The battery has lost its charge. I'm guessing the white HTC screen does not allow the phone to charge, which makes no sense becasue I had the phone plugged in the whole time.

How about "factory Reset"

i tried to boot into both. But both resulted in just the small vibration and the flashing of the HTC screen, which remained frozen on the screen until i pulled the battery. To make sure i waited about 20 minutes for each to fully "load", but it shouldnt take 20 minutes to boot into recovery, right...?

Damn. I would give it twice that. Then I don't know what to tell ya. ADB sounds like a good idea, but I never use it and wouldn't have a clue.
Good luck.

Did you get any solution mate?
I am also facing the same issue.

Bad ROM
It seems like this problem is caused by installing roms not for the Droid incredible 2. I tried installing a incredible s rom on my device, hoping it would work. It didn't. I also tried to use ADB to boot into recovery or directly flash a new rom from the command line. Neither worked because my computer wouldn't recognize the device. I ended up taking a rooted phone back to the Verizon store. I played dumb, and the idiot didn't hit the correct keys to boot up into the bootloader. I managed to get a new phone
However, your best bet is to try and use ADB to boot into recovery or directly flash new, correct rom. See if your computer recognizes your phone...

Had same problem and reboot recovery works!

Back from the dead, another White Screen
Okay, I know this is resurrecting a long-dormant thread, but it describes EXACTLY the problem I'm having.
I rooted my phone last year with the "Root Your DInc2 Tutorial" - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16671031 process, ran CM7 with no problems until early June when it began bootlooping. I believe the latest OTA was the culprit, but I still have S-OFF.
Initially I found the Back To Stock 2.3.4 RUU and used that since I absolutely had to have my phone working (was on a business trip). However, every few days the OTA would get pushed again, and I'd have to reflash the BTS RUU.
I finally had the chance to successfully re-run the "Root Your DInc2 Tutorial" method a few days ago, but I cannot access RECOVERY or FACTORY RESET from the bootloader- it goes to the white HTC screen from both. Using "adb reboot recovery" does the same thing.
At that time, I ran the Revolutionary.io tool. It of course mocked me for already having S-OFF, and offered to flash CWM. I also used the manual method from the tutorial. adb reports writing the recovery, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Every time I reboot into the bootloader, it checks for and does not find the PG32DIAG and PG32IMG files.
Is there something simple I'm missing? I have flashed back to 2.3.3, then to 2.3.4, then back to 2.3.3. I have tried flashing several different versions of CWM, 4EXT, and even Amon Ra recoveries. I've tried multiple methods, looked through multiple threads, but still cannot access the recovery.
One I have NOT tried yet is the TacoRoot method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726134&page=5 , because I have read that it's riskier. Before I go that route, I'd like to hear from anyone who's successfully solved this problem, or anyone with any ideas. I'm pretty disgusted with the stock Sense and Verizon bullcrap. What am I doing wrong here?

S-OFF is permanant, no need to do it again. Try flashing this RUU, rename it to PG32IMG.zip, put it in the root of your sdcard and boot into bootloader, when it checks, it'll find that and flash it for you, then you can just use a rooted stock ROM, there's a few out there.

That's one of the RUU's I've already tried flashing a few times- I can't recall if it's 2.3.3 or 2.3.4. I'm currently on RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.605.3_Radio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_199487_si.zip In every case, the update skips updating the bootloader. The RUU's work fine after flashing except that I cannot load a recovery to achieve root and install a ROM, make a nandroid, or perform a Factory Reset- trying to select those from the bootloader causes an immediate reboot that then stalls on the white HTC screen.
Any ideas on how to get recovery to work? Do I have a corrupted bootloader? is there any way to fix that, or is this phone crippled?

Flash a recovery with fastboot?
I've renamed the RUU to PG32IMG.zip, put it on the root of the SD, then booted into the bootloader. When the bootloader comes up, it searches for the PG32, finds it, and asks if I would like to apply the update. VOL UP for yes, and it begins extracting. Skips the "Bootloader" step and one or two others I can't remember right now, I do believe the ones labeled "TP" or such. Then reboot, remove the PG32IMG.zip file, and boot into bootloader. At that point, it looks for PG32DIAG and PG32IMG, doesn't find them, and then when I try to go to RECOVERY or FACTORY RESET, it immediately displays the white HTC screen.
The only time I've done anything different was when following the "Root your DInc2 Tutorial" method, where I used both the hack-vivow.cmd and manually entering the commands via adb. And even then, the result was exactly the same- I cannot get to RECOVERY or FACTORY RESET- all I get is the white HTC screen when I select those options.
I've really tried to do everything I can find that seems like it won't totally brick the phone before I came asking for help. I've learned a fair bit, so it's been a worthwhile effort, but I want to have some actual success, you know? As I said, the only thing I have not tried is Tacoroot- I've heard it's more risky and I wanted to see if I had missed anything before jumping into that. I'm also worried that if I DO have something corrupted, it might interfere with the Taco-ing.

Thanks for the reply! I do still have S-OFF. Here's what I have as a header on the bootloader:
-Revolutionary-
VIVO_W XB SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.13.1002

eMMC-boot

I have checked with a rootcheck app and confirmed that I do not have root access.

Can you use ROM Manager to flash CWM? Or flash 4EXT with the app? You won't have root until you flash the su binary, which you need recovery working to do.

Have I bricked it?

I had MIUI on this Desire (it's my dads) but it have some bugs so I wanted to return it to defaults. I downloaded the RUU_Brav2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06 .00.02_2_release_124865.exe file from this thread. During the install on my pc, an error occurred. Something like certain files couldn't be written. Now when I power on the phone I get a HTC logo with 4 hazard signs <!> on each corner. Even trying to get into recovery holding power and volume down does nothing.
All I want to do it return it to normal. Any ideas?

Other than flashing a rom, did you do anything else?
What does ALL the information on your HBOOT say?

The error message mentioned about unable to copy files. But the dialogue closed and I didnt have the information. Only thing I got as I said is the HTC logo with the 4 exclamation points around each corner of the screen.
My phone or computer isnt giving me anymore information, at least, I don't know how to access anymore. Only thing I know is power+vol down but that no longer works.
Edit: Here is the error message in fact:

OK well, assuming you are on o2 UK, the one you want is this one:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
Now what you need to do is pull, the battery out. Reinsert the battery. Hold Back and press power to turn on. This will put you into fastboot mode. This would normally be a white screen that says fastboot, but now it will be the screen with the 4 /!\'s on it.
Now connect the USB cable, wait at least 5 seconds and then run the new RUU.
Let me know.
Edit, You definitely didn't s-off or change the hboot or anything did you?

I did exactly as you advised. Still getting the exact same error as the image above.
In regards to S-off. I'm worried by your words. The phone did originally have S-off with the MIUI. So now I'm worried I owe my dad a new phone..

Did it have the cm 7 hboot?

I dont know..but I will go with no since I don't know what that truly is. All I ever did was root it using the instructions on this forum, then install MIUI. Then I went to this.

If you were willing to start a new thread you should also be willing to read an existing one. Read my troubleshooting guide.

hmm well. Your tutorial talks about:
S-OFF
[STEP1]- download "Bravo Stock" from Alpharev
[STEP2]- download Android Flasher
[STEP3]- use android flasher to flash "Bravo Stock"
[STEP4]- run the RUU again and wait for it to finish

How do I flash this bravo stock? It's an iso and the programme doesnt like it. Does it go in bootloader? I dunno.
And the gold card method requires me to enable debugging in the menu which I can't do since I'm stuck in RUU mode.

Were you even S-OFF? if you weren't then there's no need/ possibility of playing about with the hboot.
Trust me, everything is there. You just need to read it, problem with goldcard? look in the goldcard section.
Or if you're lazy you could risk using the 2.3 RUU.

The phone was S-OFF before this DUU. The flasher programme in the tutorial doesn't like the iso file to flash it to either.

What iso file? There should be no ISO. fIle

Sorry, forget ISO, I was looking at something else.
Here are the stages I've done thus far.
Downloaded bravo_alphaspl.img
Ran AndroidFlasher, put bravo_alphaspl.img into the bootloader area.
Ticked box saying I'm already in fastboot.
click flash.
Then I get this:
writing 'hboot'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Here is all the information I have, in case someone has a fix.
My desire was on MIUI. I then tried another rom, which I didn't like too much either. I foolishly decided to use a wrong stock file and ended up locking my phone into RUU. My phone is now S-ON. I've tried all suggestions in this thread and I went over the troubleshooting thread.
The goldcard tutorial blew my mind, but I tried anyway and fell on the first hurdle when the ReadCID programme doesn't work (Win 7 x64). And I have the right framework installed.
At the moment the phone is a paperweight and I will have to find him an another phone on ebay, since it was my stupidity which bricked this.
If anyone knows a simple way of fixing this, please let me know. Yeah I said simple, because although I have messed with roms, I still know NOTHING. Look at my previous posts in this thread, I clearly don't know what I'm doing which is no wonder I bricked it.
In case this is bricked for life I'm off now to find a phone on ebay. Not an android phone as I'm sure you will agree, for a 65 year old man, who knows NOTHING about android phones, he will never use it to a fraction of its potential.
I hope someone will find a solution, then I can at least sell this on ebay to recoup my losses. But until then, its time to spend money I don't have.
Thanks in advance.

Can you boot into hboot / fastboot?

Im not sure how to find out. All that happens is when I power on the phone I'm stuck in RUU mode. Androidflasher does interact with it, but throws up errors. Complaining that my phone is S-ON so cannot continue.

Your question does not help me at all. So turn off your phone. Now press and hold first volume down (alternative: back) button and then power button. Do you get a white screen with three androids at the bottom after a few seconds?

All I get is the HTC logo on a black background with 4 /!\ around each corner.
If I plug in a usb cable and remove it, the screen turns white with the following information:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANE-SYNT0101

Holding down those buttons does nothing and still results in the same screen.

All you can do is ruu from fastboot screen.
Best bet is using the 2.3.3 one. When / if it fails, go for warranty repair.

Is there a link to this 2.33 one? Ones ive tried so far were wrongly RUU_Brav2_UK_1.20.207.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124865 and then RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed. Neither which works.

boot hangs long with most custom roms

I have downloaded many ROMs and installed it successfully, but when I restart system it hangs long at green logo...
note: I have encountered this problem with more than ROM and I attached what I downloaded
Only (CM-10.1-Release-Candidate-v3.0-[OWLPROJECT]) worked well.

Change your recovery and try again. Before that you need to wipe everything except sd card.

As I say I installed (CM-10.1-Release-Candidate-v3.0-[OWLPROJECT]) ROM and it works well.
I tried installing other recoveries else (OWL 0.1.2 or CWM 5.0.2.8) and the device hangs too, at the htc green logo.

My problem not in flashing or any method, I have installed roms on my friend's device and all was done OK, only my device hangs, is there a hardware problem or something like that?

hey not sure really but try installing another kernel like I saw a post on xda that solve hangs at boot Rom for wildfire s . try download installing the kernel in the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194253
remember first install the Rom you are having problem with then immediately after installing Rom without wipe install the downloaded kernel and reboot.
that should work.
