need help fast! stuck on incredible screen

So my phone now will only reboot up to the HTC Incredible white screen. I'm not even sure what the issue is, all i did last before it got stuck was erase data on an old sd card i had in the phone. Then I just did a reboot and it froze on the white screen.
I'm running GB evervolv 2.3.2 with 2.6.37.4 incredikernel.
I can get into HBOOT but when i click on recovery it takes me into fastboot everytime.
What can i do to fix this????
Sorry please move this thread to the Q&A section, i thought that's where I was posting it, my bad.

Go to the Clockwork Recovery thread and download the update for a different version and try getting that to flash via bootloader. That way you can at least get into recovery if you need to flash new. Just to clear it up, did you use your phone to delete stuff off the old card, by using Astro or ES file explorer? I know ES file explorer has root access so is there a chance you could've deleted a system file on accident? All it takes is a click of the SD card icon and you're in root instead of SDcard. Also this is probably a thread more for the Q&A subforum, just an fyi

i deleted an old sd card that i don't even use for my phone, i was just putting it in there to clear out whatever was left on it. so i could use it new.

And it still bootloops even when you put your normal SD card back in?

yup, i dunno what it's deal is.

I remember an older version of cm7 on the nook color warned against formating sd cards because it accidentaly formats the boot partition, this may be a bug that exists in the rom your using.
at least you can get into hboot, you should be able to download ruu image and flash it in hboot. this would get you back to stock, then root and install clockwork, and then restore your latest nandroid.

Flash this recovery in hboot
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/recovery/clockworkmod/PB31IMG.ZIP
It should at least give you a working recovery.

i have to rename things as update.zip in order for hboot to flash them right??

NO leave it PB31IMG.ZIP.
hboot can only see that name. if you rename it hboot will not see it at all.
also make sure your card is formatted as FAT32

got it into recovery so i'm just wiping and restoring, thanks for the help!

ok now i'm getting a bootloop on the cm7 boot screen...i just went to flash that new instead of my nandroid because the nandroid was from an older rom.

Did you wipe everything? Davik, Cache, Data, etc?

wiped data and cache...didn't do davik because i've never had to in the past. but i'll give it a try.

would i need to update CMW from version 2.0+ to 3 in order for cm7 to work? because it's still bootlooping

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME!
i was on MIUI 1.3.25 (the newest GB release) and i was formatting an sd card and when i restarted my phone i got stuck at the splash screen! i have been able to boot back into cwm recovery but even when i wipe and flash, nothing works.
i booted into recovery and tried to restart from there - failed
i reflashed 3.18 (wiped cache/dalvik) - failed
i wiped all data and reflashed 3.18 - failed
wiped all, flashed 3.25, fixed permissions - stuck at splash screen again
restored an old MIUI (v1.1.15) - stuck at splash screen
pleaseee let me know if you figure this out
edit:
i ran the RUU and got stock to start working. i'm about to root and try flashing something

Are you getting errors when you wipe?like when you wipe data does it say error can't mount or anything like that.... I have a feeling you may have to flash an Ruu and then reroot

no, no errors. but i flashed the RUU and rerooted and everything works just fine. I flashed MIUI again and it worked perfect
thanks!

I figured that's what you would have to do glad you are back running

I always mount my sdcard in a linux and format/fix/repartion, or at least let Clockwork Recovery do it. I have never found a Sense, Vanilla, or AOSP ROM that handled SD partition operations very well, without at least a little tragedy.

This tends to be things go as far as ROMs partitioning my sd, always back it up externally and format/partition before transferring stuck back over to it while in phone.

[Q] installed midnight rom v2.2 problems booting

Need help I installed midnight rom v2.2 today I did the recommended wipes as instructed. I had cwm 4.0.1.5 and did my backup twice. When I installed midnight every thing went good but then during reboot it just rebooted back into cwm 5.0.2.3 I've pulled the battery and nothing. I can't even get into my restore files ......did flashing the new cwm erase the backup?????I'm stuck what do I do???????

in the older 4.x cwm backups are on the internal sd card
in the newer 5.x cwm backups are on the external card.
(may be the other way around)
as long as you didnt format the actual sd cards your alright the backups are still there.
i think from cwm you can mount both to a pc and just copy the clockwork folder from one to the other. though i may be wrong.
might be easiest to odin a kernel that has the old 4x cwm
check the dev section there are a few floating around.
edit this kernel has the old cwm as both a flashable zip from inside cwm
and a .tar from odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284092
sometimes it takes more than 1 wipe/format to fully clear or you could have a bad download.
there are also a few full system .tar files that will get you back up and running on a stock system.

Thanks I used Odin to reflash a kernel with the cwm I needed and was able to restore. Ill try to flash midnight against knowing I'm this now!

no prob.
may think about copying the backups to the other sd card too.
that way they are still there even on the newer 5x cwm if you have a problem.

Would it work if I upgrade to zedomax v6.02 it comes with cwm5 same as what comes in midnight rom2.2 that way I don't go through the same problem if it happens again?

it should but your best bet would be to update to that kernel with cwm5
then create a new backup before continuing.

If your phone boots into CWM after a battery pull, just select reboot system now and that will boot the phone up. I see that on my phone as well at times. Not sure what causes it but that always fixes it for me.

I tried that about 5 times it just kept booting into cwm. Maybe a bad download im not sure, but ill try it again and see if it works this time around. Thanks!

Problem solved i just reflashed the rom and it booted up just fine. It works great. Very good rom!

Epic 4G; TW Launcher Forceclose; Applications on SD Card

My current problem is that certain applications, not all, will dissappear after reboot if I move them to the SD Card. These applications continue to work and remain after reboot if I leave them on the phone.
The sequence of events involved a twlauncher forceclose that kept me from using my phone at all. I could do nothing other than boot into Clockwork mod. This happened after my work's Exchange Server certificate expired. Previously I had problems with a forceclose that I used the wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions to correct. I tried wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions several times to try to fix this, but it did not work.
I restored to a previous point on my phone. I had several back up points on my phone: an older one and a new one.
I had done several advanced restores: data, system, boot, to try to get the correct system to work and also to get the most up to date data. At one point, after I restored the boot data from my most recent backup boot restore, all of the applications that were on my SD card dissappeared.
I reinstalled the applications, but when I rebooted the phone, certain ones dissappeared. The applications will work and remain on my phone if I keep them on the phone.
After looking at the forums it seems I could have a problem with the SD card or the file system. The phone seems to work fine otherwise. Although, after I upgraded to CWM 5 and installed ROM manager, I got an error message regarding the first time I restored to an older backup point.
Phone configuration:
SPH-D700
Firmware: 2.3.5
Kernel: 2.6.35.7.nubernel_v0.0.2
Gingerbread.EI22
Clockwork Mod 5 (I was on Clockwork Mod 4 when I did all of the above; after I restored the phone to its current state, I upgraded to clockwork mod 5)
BTW, I would also like to upgrade to Gingerbread EL30, but it appears that I cannot simply flash the new ROM to my phone without restoring to stock ROM to upgrade.

First you can simply flash an FC09 ROM (latest). It is the modem that you need odin for.
Second: back up your sd card to a computer and reformat and restore.

Thanks
I didn't see a "thank you" on the thread, so I will post.

Okay, I thought finding the fc09 ROM would be easy. However, all I have found it The People's Rom and Serncity by Random Kings. Is there a link for the stock fc09 to flash to my phone.

Do you have a tar file so I can Odin.
I did a factory wipe, backed up the sd card, formated the sd card, and then tried to install the zip from the card, but the phone freezes at the Samgsung boot screen and won't go past. I even went and bought a new cable.
I tried to flash ECO5 with Odin, and it rebooted past the Samgun screen. Then I get an error message:
system UIDs Inconsistent" UIDS on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will unstable
After this I tried to get usb storage to connect and when I mount the usb storage, it appears on the computer as drive j, but I cannot do anything with it.
I would really like to have a functioning phone.

If you want stock go here but they have el30 download link if you want fc09 download here

I downloaded the stock fc09, and while I would prefer to be rooted, I now have a functiong phone.
Thanks for the help

Root the phone if you prefer to have it that way. All your issues sounded like data corruption anyhow.
Use Odin to flash the CWM tar file without reboot option checked, battery pull after flash, boot into recovery and flash a FC09 kernel from the dev forum. Lastly you'll just need to install Superuser from the Play Store.

That, or fkash the FC09 prerooted deodexed stock ROM in the dev section.

[Q] Issue mounting sd card

Hi, I downloaded CM11 and had no issues with my internal sd but I tried a different rom, didn't like it, and restored back to the CM11 rom. Now, I'm having issues with the sdcard. It doesn't show. I have all my backups, pictures, music there. I know for a fact that it still exists because I can see it when I mount it on recovery. When I load into the os, it says I have no sdcard. So how do I fix this?

I'm having them same issue. But can't mount in recovery or no apps can detect my SD card. I know all my data is on my SD card. Took data off formated SD still can't detect SD. Sooo stumped. Ran several 4.3 ROMs. Heard they weren't good because of SD issues. Issue did start after installing a 4.4 ROM though. If a solution if found I'll get back with you. But as it sits I've tried everything except reverting back to stock and rerooting. Last resort.

I just posted about a similar issue I'm having with custom ROMs reading my SD card for this phone. not sure but would be interested if anyone knows what's going on

Good to I'm not only one. Been using twrp 2.6.1.0 with no issues. Been running 4.3s for while. Tried some TW.. No issue.. Tried some 4.2.2a again.. No issues. Tried latest Slim 4.3.1 and BLAMMO! had issues booting it but finally did.. Then restored back to a 4.2.2 ROM and now my ext SD is not visible. It is intact cuz twrp sees and restores from it.. WTF!

EDIT my previous. Slim is vindicated. Seems both of my 4.2.2 backups are corrupted for some reason. Restored a Slim 4.3 build and my SD card issues are gone. Weird.

[HELP] CM13 On Verizon HTC 10

For those who are familiar with the process of getting the CM13 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/development/alpha-cyanogenmod-13-0-unofficial-t3465667) booting on verizon/sprint I ran into some trouble. So in trying to install I first superCID to 22222222 which worked fine, I then flashed the file that @holofractal provided from my external_SD (thank you for providing) in download mode, phone then rebooted and went through everything and turned my phone off. Upon manually going into recovery from my phone being off MY SD CARD WAS WIPED! I have 0 clue what went on, my backup on my external SD did not work either so I attempted to install CM after this all went down (did not work). So I usb-otg-ed leedroid and that booted up fine. Anybody know what is up?

S-off and unlocked

Are you sure you data was actually wiped? I went through something similar on my Verizon 10, installed the U.S Unlocked firmware from the same thread as you, and when I rebooted I had no ROM and couldn't see my internal SD card in TWRP anymore . Restoring old fw didn't work either. Flashing the no-wipe RUU from dottat's thread did work though, and I was able to re-access all my data without any loss.
For what it's worth, it was mentioned in the CM thread that after changing CID and flashing a new fw, you have to format your SD card anyway for a ROM to work.

I forgot to mention that your internal sd would be wiped. Also, k thought a backup would work, but apparently not, I too learned that the hard way.
Just set up everything again. I know it's a pain. Use titanium backup for apps next time. That's what I do.

So am I good to go now with everything? Still unsure why CM13 failed to flash. Maybe because the file was on a USB OTG?

Yes, I don't think it'll work off that. Are you using multirom?
It shouldn't fail. Try flashing it from the external sd card.

Okay, so if my SD card was wiped than it is formatted? (wipe = format, right?). Also what is dottat's no-wipe RUU? I am going to try to install CM now so will you guys know if it works.

Here's what I would do. If you have already done any of the steps I list just skip them.
1. Back up important data if you wish.
2. Install firmware package. I am a sprint user, I used 1.95.403.1 international firmware. I removed the radio.img and edited the android-info.txt file to match my MID.
3. In TWRP, go to wipe, and format data, type yes and click enter.
4. Check your log by clicking the hamburger menu button in the bottom right corner. If you see red text like Mounting error for preload and cache, wipe them either with fastboot (I haven't done that) or, what I did was install LeeDroid, which wiped those partitions.
5. Install the ROM of your choice. (I've noted that I still had to use a Sprint specific kernel for my device, which makes me theorize that the firmware update zip might not change all partitions, which you'd need an RUU for to flash everything, I haven't tested that as my device works fine.)
6. Boot CM. Sometimes the screen will go dark, be patient with it, should boot in 5 minutes or less.
Try these and if they don't work, lemme know. I got nothing going on.

Go to settings, Cellular settings, network operator, let it load, and select the Verizon option. Go home, then open the settings app again (without closing the other one), and select the CDMA+LTE/EvDo option. Check your APN.
