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?

When it takes you back to hboot and it loads the ruu and it asks to update say no and it should ask if you want to reboot.... if it don't highlight fastboot tap the power button and it will take you to a menu scroll down till you hit reboot device and tap power button and it should reboot....

Did you try rebooting from fastboot instead of using the ruu again
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
When it boots and goes into fastboot, none of the buttons are responsive. I have to pull battery.

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?
RUU_IncredibleC_Verizon_WWE_1.22.605.2_Radio_1.00.03.04.06_hboot_0.79_release_161494_NoDriver_0514.exe
Thanks for all the help so far!

Can't get the fastboot to recognize any pb31img.zip file now... it only worked when I first got the dead phone. Now that I have flashed with RUU, the fastboot won't recognize the pb31img file.
I'm going to have to try to manually flash or root using adb... trying to get all the files now.

Does it still say s-off at the top
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
It's always been s-on... could never get root, so couldn't get s-off, otherwise I would try flashing recovery and custom ROMS or poking around with Titanium and rebuilding apps from another dinc.

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.

Today I installed advanced task killer/manag er from the market as my phone was acting up lately. I set security to low and task killer to run when the screen is off. I rebooted and now im stuck on the white htc screen. I tried pulling the battery several timesand rebooting but still no boot. I cant boot into recovery because my volume down switch stopped working in the past week. Is the re any way around this I only have 1 phone and really need it working. Thanks in advance.

Not sure, one day it worked and next day it didn't. Volume up works but volume down doesn't, the trackpad has also stopped working. The phone was ok before doing a reboot with the task killer.

Ok that's weird :S
Try press harder on the volume down or like hold the tumb on the minus symbol so it covers more then the minus symbol and push hard then hold the power button when it is off, it should boot in recovery.

While phone is off press back button + power. That takes u to fastboot then use fastboot commands to boot recovery

download PB99IMG (4ext recovery) and extract the recovery.img from it and put the recovery.img directly into ur C:\ drive. use fastboot commands and flash the recovery.img.
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
then
fastboot boot recovery

Had a major stroke of luck this morning. While frantically trying all combinations of button pushes while in recovery a notification appeared that the back button had been activated with menu functions. The search button then acted as a select button like the trackpad. I was able to reflash my rom without losing any data or apps. :laugh: Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions. That was a close one.

Yay, I were just going to say that, that you can use the trackball or whatever it is called, you know between back and menu button. You can navigate there too

I am sending my Verizon gnex to Verizon for replacement and was clearing the phone. I formated the storage and sd card and something else. Now there is nothing on my phone. No recovery, no Rom no image. Nothing. Volume +/- and power get options but end with Andy on his back with a red triangle with a ! . If I enter any other fast boot or Odin I get th Google unlocked screen. I need it to show locked for return. I am not returning for this reason, I had already upgraded. And trading in for credit. Thanks in advance.
You'll have to fastboot flash a new recovery and adb push a stock ROM.

follow this guide exactly.
The blue line at the bottom shows up when I plug in usb. It says fail. And when I push files it says same thing on computer. It does still have Odin. Is there a way to push files in Odin? The computer doesn't see it in Odin though. I just want that little lock to lock. I don't care if the phone works or not as long as it's locked. Thanks

Don't use tool boxes.
Morning y'all, sorry for the delay in responding. I wasn't able to revive it. The toolbox will recognize my phone but only in fastboot. The phone has the fail to connect blue line on it. Otherwise adb doesn't see it. I have little experience in adb. I haven't given up. I just have to take a break. I thank y'all for the help. I will be back.

Just got a 4.3 htc one from ebay, hoping to root/s-off it. Things were fine on wifi, but as soon as I put the sim card in "Device Management" started installing a ~600MB firmware update. I can't find any way to kill the "Device Management" process. Am I screwed?
Are you s-off and rooted? If so, delete it from system/app

No. But I think I've successfully stopped the download (sim card out, wifi off/on a few times).
Next question, does it matter if I use firewater without the sim card in?
It shouldn't.

Are you following the guide and performing the second flush/flash after the first one says it failed?
The process requires a second flash right after the first one, to complete the process.
Just making sure you are doing it as laid out in the guide.
Can't think of any other reason that would happen really.

I been using the current ACiP Official Nightlys. Before I ran aosb unnofficial nightly. But I didn't notice anything till after I first tried flashing your 6.0Sense Rom . Flyhalf205 twrp 2.7.0.1 wouldn't let me flash. So I am using your twrp now and playing between current acip and your Sense ROM. Oh and Liquidsmooth I flashed. All these in about the last month.
I just ran firewater on a new phone and this happened to me.
Edit: just flashed a custom splash screen and now it's back to normal.
