Well guys, I want to start with I hope this is the right section.
So anyway I have a little problem here. I have an old HTC Droid Incredible 2, that I rooted years ago. Well a few years ago when this was my daily driver, it displayed an error picture. Because it was so long I don't remember what it was, but I do remember I pulled the battery, and rebooted and all went well for a couple days until it did it again. Repeat process and it happened again and again, until it eventually got to the point where it won't boot. I can get it to boot to the HTC screen, but it locks there. I can get to the boot loader, and go to recovery, then it takes me to clockword Mod. I then tried to boot recovery with that, but every time it tries to boot it locks at the HTC screen. I have also tried to load two different versions of CM on. One said it was successful, but nothing changed, and the other one just plain failed. One last thing I want to add is that when the phone is off the orange/red light in the speaker lights up if plugged in like it's charging. But once it's powered on it no longer does that and the USB is not detected. Is there anyway somebody can help me I really miss this phone, and hate my iPhone.

Hi guys, I'm having this WEIRD WEIRD problem after messing around with the phone.
Here's what happened:
2 days ago, I received the phone. After unboxing it and playing with it for like 10 minutes, turning it on and off often, messing round with the features. Then, the phone rebooted by itself. After that, boot loop. It'd get stuck at the green HTC screen forever. I have no idea what happened, so I tried factory reset. Didn't work. Recovery, also stuck. So I brought it home and looked into rooting/flashing.
Now, the phone is running RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.7_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179_signed. SOMETIMES, the phone would boot in and I would be able to use it, but most often it'd just keep restarting and then hang at the green HTC screen, or maybe get the quietly brilliant and then restart.
What should I do? I have the RUU for 1.19.707.6, but with that RUU, it keeps saying that it can't see my phone. Sigh.
I can get into fastboot, but no guarantee after that. What should I do? Can't bloody swap it, coz I imported it

sounds like a h/w problem to be honest
Is it possible that this is a firmware problem? I'd hate to have to send it back for repairs, cost a lot.
I did the heap-test command, and everything is ok. So where could the problem be?. Can't even boot using fastboot oem boot. Any ideas?
PS: I think I have the correct RUU for my phone. Always complete without a hitch.
So i bought my incredible the second day they were released, and rooted it when unrevoked came out with their first one-click root program (so needless to say im not exactly a "new" root user). i've ran a couple roms, and lately have run stock leaks w/ added .zips for a little customization (about the past three months or so). i've been on the latest leak for like a month ish (i think its the latest one) possibly little bit longer than that. i never had a random reboot or even really any lag up, which was really amazing. then, i tried to install a custom flat black notifications bar, and i installed the update zip through recovery but it didnt do anything.
about two weeks later, i installed that new status bar power menu thing, and started to get the occasional random reboot and bog up. no really enough to really be a problem, but tonight right before bed my phone started boot looping after a random reboot (it would boot for a min or two then reboot after a lockup). so i pulled the battery and powered back on. then it loaded to the lockscreen, but every single app that should have started at startup began to repeatedly force close, so i couldnt use the phone. i tried three times but it happened every time. im nandroiding now, im sure that'll fix the problem, but any ideas what caused this? thanks!
just happened again on ruby 2.0.0, but this time all of the apps force closed AND the "click android to start" setup screen came up. I got a random reboot (which i rarely to never have), pulled battery and powered back up, it loaded to lockscreen, then it went into a soft reboot and froze at the looping bootscreen, then once i pulled battery again and powered up, i got the crashes. any idea what it is? this time, it did happen like 15 min after i had dropped my phone from about 2 feet off the ground, i guess that could be it? idk
For what it's worth, I was running 2.3 and it wouldn't mount internal or SD. This happened even after installing other ROM's. I downloaded the latest RUU, unrooted, and started from scratch.
I reformatted the SD card too. I re-rooted, and restored my SD backup. I re-downloaded the ROM I wanted, and installed it. It fixed the weird issues I was having. You may want to consider starting over from scratch.

My friend is running CM 7 on his Tmobile G2.
He was describing that yesterday was acting weird with market downloads.
Here is what he he emailed me on what happened.
the phone was acting normal throughout my day until the evening towards the night, i noticed it failed to finish downloading the update for google earth along with google maps. the phone was fine, and then i pulled it out of my pocket a few times and saw multiple times that it was randomly turned off. i would turn it back on and it would still give me the same issue. when i got home and plugged it in to charge, it would boot and then get to the main home screen telling me that google maps is downloading to update. however the update would be frozen, and a few seconds later the phone would freeze altogether, forcing me to turn it off by pulling out the battery. this happened about 4 times, and now has reached the point that it has become a brick and refuses to turn on or show the charging light
any suggestions on what might be wrong with the phone? Thanks in advance. Im running Cm7 on my phone and never experienced this issue.
same happend to me 3days ago, phone running then freezed... bootloop after batterypull... recovery worked for 2 times but had problems with flashing new rom/backing up -> errors with cache partition...
after 4hours of letting it stay off -> it wont turn on again und wont charge (no LED)
tried it with another dz battery+charger... no change... i wrote htc and they answered within 1hr that i have to send it in without battery...
i guess its a known problem (or why wouldnt they want to have me sending in charger+battery .. if its a power-on problem..)
there are semibrick threads here and in other forums.. but they all don't suffer from the power on problem... so i guess i did the right thing sending it in
edit: never had heat issues, never had random reboots, no overclock, no indication of an update from any app did any harm to my phone, running cm7 for 3 weeks without any problems, no hboot flash, no radio flash ... nothing that would indicate a risk of brick (according to guides & forum threads)... first htc that ever failed for me ;(
Thanks for the reply. I will forward it to my friend. I think he is going to try to exchange it at the store and if it all fails we are going to try HTC.
have any of you tried to boot into recovery? did you have eng-hboot on your devices? go to #g2root
its complete dead as in dead... no LED light, no turn on, no hboot mode (or what its called when you press vol+power key).... i dont have a g2 but a unbranded european dz.. hboot and radio was never touched by me
Similar thing happened to me. My phone kept frozing on me running cm7..was fine for a week though.
So I booted into recovery..wiped cache,factory reset flashed another rom got bunch of erros recovery thing rebooted stuck i n htc logo for like 20min yanked out battery rebooted and it never rebooted back. No hboot,no nothing.
My light indicator still worked though but no hboot or anything.. got a new one now have to send the old one back to tmobile but I'm scared that they're gonna charge me for removing void stickers.
Even though I checked twice that removing void sticker won't avoid warranty according to tmobile customer chat sevice..
So I'm thinking about swiping out the sticker that contains serial number and such on back of our phone with the old one and tell them the new one came without a void sticker lolol
Sorry I got way off topic rofl..

We went to the store today and exchanged it for another g2. The guy didnt ask any questions and exchanged it happily for a new one.
This very same thing happened to me today. Updated to CM 7.0.3 from 7.0.1 and the phone was freezing when installing items from the market. Pulled the battery and the phone was stuck on the boot animation. Pulled the battery again, and now it will not start at all. No charging light, no nothing. Had more than 50% charge, and now it seems entirely unresponsive. I can't use the power w/ volume button technique either, because the phone does not respond.
Seems like somehow I have bricked the phone, or the phone just coincidentally died just after updating to CM 7.0.3? (seems unlikely)
just a short update on my case:
i got the mobile back from HTC repairs.
they exchanged my "mainboard" (changed IMEI) under warranty.
i don't know what emmc chip i had before cause it died so fast, but my usb deviceIDs changed completely and are now simmilar to the ones in the cm wiki.
my current emmc is now:
$ cat /sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/name
SEM04G

Hi, this morning I was charging my phone, received a call, and phone shut off. It literally did a single ring and then off. I went to turn on the phone, thinking it was just overheated, noting it was cool to the touch. When I went to turn the phone on, it vibrated on boot like normal, except nothing was displayed on the screen. Further waiting (approximately 2 minutes) led to nothing. I attempted to power on again, with the same vibrate, same thing. I removed the charger, then the battery for about a minute. Replace battery, left out charger, same thing. Replace charger, same thing. I had been running AOKP fine previously. Before that I had been running stock AT&T 4.1.1 . I followed Tasks' instructions in his post, I'm not new to this process. I've been following him since the S2 (SGH-I777), never had any kind of brick at all. I've also compiled CM and AOKP myself before and am not new by any means to linux. But I have no clue what just happened here and no kind of recovery or bootloader is available from what I can see on the phone and through ADB. It simply will not power on. I don't have a multimeter to rule out the battery but it seems unlikely to me that in just under 8 months of use the battery died on me. I'm not a heavy user, and typically get 3 days use out of a single charge. Anyone heard anything on the grapevine?
EDIT: I put the wrong release date in the title when I went to look at his releases. It's the 7/9/2013 release.
EDIT #2: I pulled out the SIM card to place in a backup phone and I tried booting the phone again. It started up, got to the loading screen, shut off, and now its back where it was. Considering playing with my SIM in the phone to see if I can trigger anymore activity.
EDIT #3: Success, flipping the SIM seemed to trigger something, I was able to put the phone in Download successfully. Flashing new recovery now, stay tuned.
EDIT #4: When I was able to boot the phone after flashing Jiangyi's AIO (From tasks post). I immediately booted into recovery, flashed 7/20b and 7/14 gapps, looking good so far.
