Recovery screwed up by superwipe and rom stuck on startup screen - Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE

I cant seem to get Viper rom to work. I used superwipe and there was an error. Cleared system and data and cache. Flashed rom, then fastbooted boot.img. Rom is stuck in htc screen and recovery flashes on for a quick moment then goes dark and phone reboots. Ideas please. Thanks

Which recovery did you use? If you used TWRP you should use 2.3.3.0 for the ROMs with aroma installers. Did you try simply reflashing recovery?

I have tried to resinstall recovery, but it blinks into recovery for a quick second then reboots and again stuck on boot screen. can superwipe do something to my internal sd card to do this?

I think he did ruu and everything went back to normal, since he says he restored to original and theres no way he could do that from recovery, I have a thread named the brick thread, try the solutions in there, on my case ruu wasn't working either and recovery was looping too , I had to use ruu mode, however I don't know what Dan did and I may be wrong, but this could work

S-ON/S-OFF Needed?
Since I'm S-OFF Do I have to regain S-ON/S-OFF again, when reflashing this RUU? I don't want to screw up any further.

Before running the ruu, try just re-flashing recovery from fastboot. Instructions can be found in either the TWRP or ClockworkMod thread.
Also, pay attention to somerandomname1's advice above.

Working again.
Looks like that Re-RUUing Stock, Re S-OFF DirtyRacun (I'm used to this method), then flashing TWRP 2.3.3.0 Got ViperLTE Installed Properly. Thanks.

Will it boot to bootloader? Can yo get to recovery? Did you use Scott's clean wipe tool or did you just factory data reset? What rom were you on and what we're you trying to accomplish when wiping? Why are you using cwm and not amon ra? You really need to be specific or no one can help you.

I did factory wipe data and dalvik. But my device jus keeps freezing at the htc logo and won't boot up. Do I need to put a rom on the phone or what
I had the stock rom the oly thing I did to that phone was unlock bootloader then flashed Amon ra then downloaded rom manager and installed cwm then these problems happened after I wiped everything
Flash amon ra recovery again and install a Rom of your choice and make sure you flash the matching kernal. Then you should be all set.

Flashing ROMs

Hey guys, so I just used Juopunutbear S-OFF to start installing some custom ROMs. Quick question, is there any special way I have to start flashing ROMs? I was trying to install [SENSELESS]_d3rpICS_[BAREBACK] so I downloaded the ROM and placed it on my SD card. Once I powered my phone back on and try to install the new ROM is says that my SD card is not inserted into the SD slot (which it is, I can even see files on it).
Also, now I can't even power my phone back up and fully boot up, it is stuck at the hTC screen. Any suggestions?
Can you boot into hboot? What recovery are you using?

If you did a back up before flashing the Rom, restore it and then get 4ext recovery. It's the one that works best. Once you have 4ext, do a super wipe and then flash it again.

I'll give it a shot. Although I didn't create a back up before I began this process. I think when I was using Juopunutbear to callS-OFF it created a backup then. Is a back up mandatory?

A back up is useful when this happens. Just try and use twrp for now but wipe everything (data,cache,dalvik cache,etc) before flashing again.

There is also an updated version of twrp (version 2.2.0) that might work better. You can find it on their site and push it to your phone using fastboot. Google them and then follow the directions on their website.

[Q] Lost Recovery Mode & Wifi

I'm a bit of a newb and seem to have f'd my phone up a bit. I was able to unlock via HTCdev prior to them taking it away and have been on ViperLTE 1.0 from the beginning. Before flashing ViperLTE 2.0 I wanted to flash the new RUU so I grabbed the RUU files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770978 and proceeded to flash Stock boot (kernel) and Stock Recovery (2.17.605.2). Needless to say I'm unable to get into recovery and noticed wifi doesn't work any more... What can I do to rectify this and get me back to the path of flashing ViperLTE 2.0
Thanks for the help!

You need a custom recovery like twrp or cwm I think. If you were on viper 1.0 all you needed was the hboot. Try pushing the recovery in fastboot. I think it'll fix everything.

Flashed ROM with TWRP... phone not booting.

Just flashed my first ROM (newest CM 10.1 nightly) with TWRP and everything seemed to have gone well but when I hit "Reboot" the HTC logo flashed for a second and then the screen went black and it's not doing anything. Been like this for 10 minutes.
I already rebooted back into recovery and reset the phone and cleared the caches and flashed the ROM again. Same thing.
Anyone know what's going on?

Are you S-OFF? If not, you need to flash the boot.img separately.

Figured it out. Flashed it manually with Fastboot method and it boots into CM10.1 now but my touchscreen appears to not be working
You most likely need newest firmware if I'm not mistaken. You really need to s-off your phone. Then you won't have all the difficulty your having. Otherwise, you need newest firm ware...

This is because you have the newest touch panel firmware. It only works with roms based off of 3.16...currently no aosp Rom will work for you unless you s-off and downgrade to the 3.15 panel firmware. This is my understanding anyway. Flash a 3.16 sense Rom (viper, meanbean, etc) and you'll be back in business.

Thanks for the help everyone. So without touch I wasn't able to turn on USB debugging mode so that I could get superCID so that I could S-Off so I tried to recover with the backup I made in TWRP but it just boot loops.
How can I copy a ROM onto my phone without actually being able to boot into a ROM?

Flash the ROM through fastboot.
fastboot flash zip nameofrom.zip

Try getting a copy of cwm (not the touch version) and flash it via the fast boot method. Use the volume rockers to move, camera to select, power to go back.
It'd be easier to just ruu back to stock and start at square 1. Doesn't take that long to root and s-off anymore. Dirty racun would probably still work too.

Yeah, if you wanna run ANYTHING other than a sense 3.16 ROM, you're gonna HAVE TO S-off so you can downgrade that damn touch panel that came with the 3.16 update (thanks HTC :banghead
I thought the latest twrp was compatible with the updated TP now, though. What TWRP version you using? If not, as stated above, finding non-touch CWM recovery sounds like only/best solution. That was a good idea. Last I heard (long ago), CWM for this device breaks your /misc partition. Viperboy used to have it posted in the old viper thread so you could repair /misc. Not sure if it's still there.
Good luck.
From my Evo LTE, yup.

EVO 4GLTE stuck on boot screen

Hi guys. I unlocked the bootloader but wasn't able to get SOFF. I tried flashing the elementalX kernel which allowed me to go through the setup. The phone then was stuck in a boot loop. I downloaded additional roms and extracted and flashed the boot.img and then the ROM however everytime I am just stuck at the boot screen. Any ideas?
I had all the latest firmware etc.

Boot into fastboot and connect through command prompt to your pc. Type fastboot erase cache
see if that gets you going.
I may give that a try. I ended up flashing ViperROM and it loaded up fine. I did nothing different than the other 3 ROMS i tried to flash so I am not sure where the problem is. I am going to keep trying since I didn't want to user Viper.

You have to flash MeanBean twice-once to flash the ROM, then again to flash the kernel.

Do you have a Samsung device?
Be warned - there is no such thing as fastboot mode for most Samsung Galaxy devices - you'll be wasting your time doing this and typing "fastboot devices" for many hours!
If you have problems with your recovery, it works to just reflash the CF-autoroot kit, which happens to flash the cache partition too. My problem was a bootloop with TWRP's obviously buggy OpenRecoveryScript, which was installing a ZIP file over and over again.
