Black Screen at Recovery ?

Hey guys . I tried rooting my phone using unrevoked 3.21 . I installed the boot drivers and ran the reflash, it done it thing and said everything was good . Once I try to get into recovery , I get nothing but a black screen ? I just got this incredible the other day and its running 2.2 . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated . Edit : I should add that there is no rom manager or anything like that in my apps , only the super user ?

Had the same exact problem about 2 minutes ago, and i came across your post when i was searching for a fix. Now that i've found a fix, i thought i would help a fellow rooter out. According to what i found, it's a screen problem. Something to do with the new Slcd screen on the incredible and the root. Anyway, enough of the small talk. Time for the fix.
1. Plug your phone into your computer via USB.
2. Select "Disk Drive" in the options menu that comes up on your phones screen and hit okay.
3. Download the new recovery image here: ( Sorry for the messed up URL. Since i made this account just to post in this thread i can't post outside links. Just remove all of the *'s )
http:*//dougpiston*.com/files/Recovery/PB31IMG_cwm_mod.zip
4. Rename PB31IMG_cwm_mod.zip to just PB31IMG.zip
5. Put it on the root of your SD card. ( For me it was H: )
6. Make sure your SD card is formated to FAT32. If it is not, make a backup of the files on your SD card - as formatting the card will delete all data - then right click on your SD card drive, go to format, select FAT32, and click start. Once it is formated, place all of you files back on the SD card.
7. Disconnect your phone from the computer and power it down.
8. Boot your phone into HBOOT (Power + Volume Down)
9. Wait for HBOOT to load. It will ask to update "recovery". Select Yes.
10. It will ask if you want to reboot. Select No.
11. It will take you back to the HBOOT menu. Select Recovery.
12. Select "back up and restore" ( Not sure what it exactly is. I'm writing this from memory... )
13. Remove PB31IMG.zip from your SD card to avoid HBOOT asking everytime.
Done. In 13 easy steps. You can now boot into recovery any time you please.
NOTE: I take no credit for this fix AT ALL. All credit goes to doug piston and adryanlyne.

Or just download ROM Manager, select the second to the last option, which is Flash Alternate Recovery. Then reboot into recovery to verify it works.

[Q] PB31IMG.ZIP Splash Screens

I am somewhat of a noob to this sort of thing. I rooted my phone and am running Frost ROM 2.1, I have a custom boot animation and it all works great....here is the problem. Before I knew how to use SDK tools I tried to install the PB31IMG.ZIP file to flash a new splash screen. It didn't work. Now when I try to use Hboot USB to flash a new image it still says it's trying to open the PB31IMG.ZIP file. The file is not found and gives an error.
A. I deleted the file from my sdcard.
B. I wiped the cache and did a system wipe as well.
C. I completely reinstalled the custom rom. Which I thought would reformat and get rid of all old data.
How do I get it to not look for the PB31IMG.ZIP file and flash a new splash screen?
Please help! Thanks!

flash a new room it is easy go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812572 he has many flashable splash screens and even a tutorial on how to make your own, it is somewhere in the thread, all you have to is download a splash, make sure it is named PC36IMG.zip, put the file on the root of your sd card, power your phone into HBOOT pressing down and power and holding till it comes up, it will find the PC36IMG.zip and ask if you want to update press up for yes then it will ask to reboot press up again and you should have your new splash HOPE THIS HELPS GOOD LUCK

[Q] Problem after last Update OTA

Hello all,
I have an unbranded desire (GSM), rooted with the latest unrevoked, and an official ROM.Today I have received a new update OTA… something with Android Market in size of 28.87 MB. I’ve tried to install but I have not succeeded. For more info about my phone see the attached pictures.
Now the details: I saw that the update was not working , so I decided to “force “ the install process using the install update.zip from clockwork mode (2.5.0.7) and toggle signature option (it was a message about some signature error). Everything looked fine, all the process and then a message tells me to restart. Since then a loop started: white screen with green letters for HTC logo and after that a restart. And again, and again…
I have a backup on sd card. But when I try to access, the recovery menu shows me a dark screen with a phone and a red triangle with “!” sign in it. I have also the official RUU but my computer refuses now to see my phone despite of a very good link between them. Two days ago I have installed the official RUU and the connection was ok. Maybe it is because my phone is not loading all of the starting process.
Help me please with some ideas, advices. Thank you.

You can't apply an OTA to a rooted Desire without issues - how many more poeple are going to do this before reading threads and realising this!!!
You'll have to hard reset and if that doesn't work flash a stock RUU and root again

PLease tell me how to hard reset or how to flash a stock RUU. please remember i can't connect to the computer because it's not loading all the starting process

You can either:
1. Download the 2.29.405.2 RUU from shipped-roms.com and flash it via FASTBOOT
or
2. Download the 2.29.405.2 PB99IMG from shipped-roms.com and flash it via HBOOT after renaming it PB99IMG.zip instead of the long file name I used, copying it to the root of your SD card and booting into HBOOT and following the instructions

Thank you very much for your quick answer.
But please be more specific
1. How to flash it via FASTBOOT?
2.Please give me step by step instructions on how to boot the zip file.
Sorry for being annoying. And sorry for my english

For RUU:
1. Download RUU from this link
http://www.multiupload.com/UOWLL86GVB
2. Turn off your phone
3. Turn it on again whilst holding the back button
4. Once the white screen with the 3 Androids at the bottom says FASTBOOT connect to PC with USB cable and it will change to say FASTBOOT USB
5. Run the RUU
6. All being good you'll be on stock 2.29.405.2
To flash the PB99IMG.zip:
1. Download the ZIP file from here:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip
2. Turn off phone
3. Remove SD card from phone and connect to PC using a card reader and a micro to normal adapter
4. Rename the ZIP file to PB99IMG.zip (not PB99IMG.zip.zip) and copy it to the root of your SD card (root = not in any folders)
5. Put SD card back in your phone
6. Turn it on whilst holding volume down
7. Follow instructions on the phone
8. Once done you should be on stock 2.29.405.2
BOTH OF THESE WILL NEED YOUR GOLD CARD TO COMPLETE

thanks. Starting now...
JOB DONE... SMOOTHLY

You do it by RUU OR PB99IMG btw - NOT both

JOB DONE SMOOTHLY. Thanks a lot.

No probs, keep the RUU or PB99IMG to hand in case you need them in future

Er. I kinda messed up..

I tried that pyramid rom, and since it doesn't boot, I was gonna try to do virtuous, Well I put that image to update the radio, and forgot that I can't get into android to take the image off, and when I need to go into recovery, it tries reading the image, and when I say no to update again, it wants to reboot. How does one get around this?
EDIT: had a smart idea and removed the SD card. all is good now.

In the future when it asks to reboot after saying no to install the image you can press down arrow key and you can go into recovery or reboot into rom
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

or in the future...turn off your phone, plug into usb on computer, run command line (assuming you have adb) and just type "adb reboot recovery".
it works even when the phone is off...

If I am understanding you right you have the PG32IMG.zip for the Radio update on the root of your SD card now you cant get into recovery cause it wants to update your radio every time you start the boot loader (Power + Vol dwn)?
am I right?
The way I work around this is to pull the SD card while the boot loader checks for update files.
once you have the ability to go into recovery (You can select recovery) push your SD back in and start recovery!
Then when you get the chance via USB Mass storage or with a file explorer on your DInc2 erase the PG32IMG.zip so you don't have this problem again.
If I helped take a second to thank me!?
Edit: DOH!

I think you dont have to erase the PG32IMG.zip just rename to pPG32IMG and if you need to use that in the future just remove the first p and you are good to go.

htc incredible power cycling i need help!!

Alright so I have an HTC incredible and it keeps power cycling. The S- is ON and I can't figure out what to do.
I have tried the following:
downloaded stock rom
verified MD5
renamed stock rom to pb31img.zip
put it on sd card(formatted it first)
hboot
fast boot to load image
and thats as far as i can get, the phone wont accept the file, it keeps giving me error messages.
i than tried to put clock work on sd and renaming it... same thing...
i cant figure this out...
someone ...
PLEASE HELLLLPPPPPPPP

It needs to be named exactly PB31IMG.zip capps and all and it has to be on the root of your sd in no folders.
Also dont use fastboot you just use hboot. It should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to update. Also i dont know where you got your stock image from but here is a link to a known good one. http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22

fmllll all caps!? im an idiot... ill try this out and hopefully i can restore it .. thanks
