I know these are old forums and old phones, but I'm hoping someone can still help me. I have a Dinc and I am trying to root it, it is stuck in the white htc incredible endless reboot and I would like to hopefully get it to work again. I was able to get the hboot unlocked but I can"t do anything more since I can't put the phone in to usb debugging. Fastboot commands work, but anything with adb will not work and is says the device is unavailable. Anyone with any info is greatly appreciated!!

I seem to be stuck on the "boot loop" of the HTC green logo. I tried doing the perm-root option in Visionary r12 and have been here ever since.
A few things:
- I can get into the HBOOT
- I have done a factory reset from bootloader
- I have done a reset from fastboot
- I attempted to do the flash of PC10IMG, but received the "main version is older"
- I can't change version because ADB won't connect for some reason, maybe because i'm in HBOOT?
I can't seem to get ADB to recognize my device, but when I did a factory reset from the bootloader, ADB did finally show the device, but it said "offline"
I'd be happy if I could get this G2 functioning, root or no root.
Anyone have any ideas what I can do to fix this?
thanks!
I also need to add that I did a FACTORY RESET from HBOOT and let it sit for about 2 hours, didn't move off the HTC green logo screen.
If anyone out there can get me up and running i'd gladly pay them $25 for their trouble!!

is your g2 showing s-on or s-off at the HBOOT screen?
It has S-ON
So am I screwed? Is there no way to get this back up? I don't think I ever had S-OFF, when I rebooted from Visionary r12, it stuck right on the HTC boot, so I didn't so anything else. When I went to HBOOT, I think it said "S-ON" then and has always said "S-ON"....
Probably screwed. Seems like you did exactly what you werent supposed to do, as posted in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838484

Im having the same problem. after perm root attempt I get stuck at the htc screen unless i pull the battery. I am able to get into h-boot and fast boot but have no clue what to do from there. everything I research assumes that i have other stuff installed here such as third party recovery or hex editor. I wasn't attempting to change Roms or anything like that until I felt a little more comfortable but now im stuck.
Flashing the pc10img was not a good move. Happened to me back in september. I was one of the first to get the g2. Fortunately I was s-on also. That is good in the fact you can return it and get a new one like I did. The second time around I read..read and then I read. Then rooted without a problem. Tell tmo the phone just got stuck and they will give you one for free. Always read the entire thread and links on those threads. I found out the hard way also. There has been stories of that being fixed though. Good luck bro

What if its S-OFF?
Last month i rooted and S-off'd my friends desire, and i also installed the oxygen Rom onto it, but now i have no idea what the idiot has done or how to resolve it.
First of all, there is now no ROM installed in his phone.
Second, he has somehow unrooted the damn thing.
Third, it is now S-on again.
I have tried everything from searchin the internet to installing proper official ROM's on it and getting know where. Each ROM i try install will come back with the same 131 error, "Incorrect CID"
all i can do with the phone is load up the boot loader and get into fastboot, and it will recognize the
USB plugged in, clock work recovery is still in the phone and i can get into that, but i cant use the backup function or mount anything during to S-ON and it being unrooted,
Can anyone help please
Thanks
Check bortak's troubleshooting guide.
I'm on Android 2.3.4 and trying to unlock bootloader and get s-off, etc.
I can't get my computer to recognize my phone for long enough to run the RUU from HTCdev. HTC Sync will recognize my phone if I put it into sync mode on my phone, but when I start the RUU it disconnects.
any way to do the HTCdev method on Ubuntu? I have a system that I have Ubuntu on but I am not a pro with it either.
i am new but i've gotten the custom rom fever now since I got my nook tablet but this is frustrating me.
Suggestions?
I did it with Arch, and I'd bet you could do it with Ubuntu. Try http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ht...bootloader-through-htc-dev-linux-edition.html
I know it says Rezound, but it'll work (as long as you choose HTC Droid Incredible instead of Rezound).
Thanks. I'll try this tonight when I get home.
Hey everyone, having an issue. I'm back to the OG and I got the 2.18 hboot and trying to root but stuck tryin to get s-off. Now the problem must be a driver or something. When I try using adb, it's not seeing the phone. When I connect my 3D and do adb get-serialno, works fine but when I do the same with the OG, nothing. I was going with the HTCdev unlock method, got unlocked but trying to get s-off with the method shown on Evo Hacks and need adb working.
Any thoughts what could be wrong or where I can get the right driver?
Never mind, figured it out, FINALLY. If anyone is having a similar problem, uninstall all HTC drivers and then plug the new phone in and let it try installing them again.
Hi all. I recently broke out my old HTC Droid Incredible to set it up as a gaming device. However, it really can't do a whole lot with the VZW bloatware and being an old phone. Figured I would root it to fix that. However, I can't even get HTC Sync to read the phone. Is it too old to do anything with? Any help is greatly appreciated.

You should still be able to root it. You don't need HTC sync, you just need a new enough bootloader (HBOOT) to be able to unlock the bootloader, and you need to be able to communicate with HBOOT via fastboot commands.
Did you try following one of these guides?

You don't need to bother with s-off, just unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery. From there, you can do anything you want with the phone.
I couldnt get fastboot commands to do anything, either. I'll give it another shot but really have no confidence it will work. Thanks for the links.
I figured out that HBoot didn't update when I did this last. Even if the image is the same. Problem is, the HTC RUU stops being able to read the phone once it gets to the bootloader, so I can't even update it. Any ideas?
