Incredible won't boot properly, stays in Fastboot

[aazcaiturrieta]

A few weeks ago I manually installed the Froyo 2.2 update on my Incredible manually by downloading the zip to my sd card, etc... and it was working perfectly fine. I tried to root my Incredible last night, and after an apparently successful root, I tried downloading and app from the Marketplace and my phone froze. I then took the battery out for a few minutes and tried starting my phone up but it froze on the HTC Incredible white screen. I accessed the Vol + Power button menu and tried reformatting things on there and now my phone just turns on to the fastboot menu. Any hope for my phone? Help would be appreciated, I can't really afford a new phone or repair costs

How to downgrade and root your DInc from 2.2

I had a buddy that wanted to test out the leaked Droid Incredible froyo RUU … The 3.21.605.1 RUU with the 2.15 radio. Problem was that he quickly found out that he lost root and his clockwork recovery. The race condition that allowed you to pop in an sdcard had been fixed and unrevoked’s root and reflash utility didn’t work on this new leak. It was also pretty safe to say that any future shipments of DInc’s would have this type of load as well by default. Oh noes!
Fortunately we have an exploding community. Forumite smwoodward posted a guide on xda-developers.com to roll back your Radio, HBOOT and OS. With his guide, you can install the rom.zip file for any RUU applicable to your DInc. Seems smwoodward saw that the EVO users were in the same boat in the past and the same fix for them applies to the DInc. This fix should also apply to any new DInc’s that come to stores with 2.2 already installed.
Unfortunately, smwoodward didn’t have enough posts under his belt to post links in his thread. It was kind of hard to follow without working links. Here’s my reiteration of this fix:
** Not responsible if you break/brick your device or if your dog gets diarrhea. This guide was written assuming you have a basic understanding of ADB and it is required that your SDcard be formatted in FAT32**

• If you haven’t already, download the Android SDK here. Extract it to the root of your C: drive.
• Download the downgrade files here mirror. The zip contains 3 files. Extract those 3 files into the tools directory of the SDK folder. Should be “c:\android-sdk-windows\tools”.
• Download the PB31IMG.zip file here. Place this file in your “c:\android-sdk-windows\tools” directory. This was originally the rom.zip file found within the DInc’s RUU for 1.22.605.2_Radio_1.00.03.04.06_hboot_0.79_release_161494. I renamed it to PB31IMG.zip. This will be the file that the bootloader will look for. More on that later.
• With your phone on, plugged into your computer and “USB Debugging” enabled (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging), open a cmd prompt and type

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

• Once ready, type these commands in cmd prompt from your adb tools directory. After every line press enter.

adb push flash_image /data/local/
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/
adb push mtd0.img /sdcard/ adb push PB31IMG.zip /sdcard/ Note: the PB31IMG.zip will take longer than expected to transfer to the sdcard. It is a BIG file.

• Now we chmod a few things. After every line press enter. It should repeat what you typed in and then return you to a blank line with an $ for everything in adb shell

adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
cd /data/local
chmod 0755 /data/local/flash_image
cd /data/local/tmp ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin Note: You will now see some text on your cmd prompt screen explaining the exploit.

• Wait for the adb shell to go away, and it will dump you into your windows command prompt again (no shell) should look something like this: “C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>”
• Typing adb shell now should produce a # prompt.

cd /data/local
./flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd0.img

• that will flash your misc partition with Toast’s mtd-eng.img. Once completed, This should return you to a blank line with #.

reboot bootloader

• This will reboot your device into the bootloader and start to automatically install the PB31IMG.zip file you pushed on to your sdcard. The load process will take a little while.
• After a minute or so, there should be a prompt on your DInc’s screen asking if you want to apply the update. Press the volume up key to confirm. This will take a while. Your phone will reboot a couple of times during this process. Just let it sit. There will be a confirmation message once its done.
• Congrats! You are now rolled back to 2.1. Your HBOOT is rolled back prior to the race condition fix. Downloading the unrevoked root and reflash utility and running it will root your DInc and install the latest clockwork recovery.

Root that, then run a 2.2 ROM, and you will be set!
