The brick thread and some solutions(user comments) - Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE

This happened to me while flashing a rom, a project i have for you guys(4+). Had got a good brick and didnt have supercid to flash ruu and was using a at&t cid(another history) however there was no way i could flash recovery (flashed many times and didnt boot) so this is something that may help people on the same situation with s off, this just left status unlocked and tampered went away
get into fastboot(voulme down+ power)
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 1111111
for this step you need ruu, get it from here http://d-h.st/MOw
then write this till it suceeds
Code:
fastboot flash zip 2.17.605.2_rom.zip
then flash a recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img
and then
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
you are now in recovery, flash what you want
Hope This Helps, If So Hit Thanks.

What does a huge brick look like I think I screwed up, I was trying to get s-off by flashing that ruu but it wouldn't work I didn't have full shell root so I flashed a boot IMG that gave me full root but now when I boot up it shows the HTC screen then black I can't get it in to recovery but I can get it in to boot loader please help me I'm completely new to htc

DID YOU PUT IT ON the root of the ext sd and make sure after the transfer it doesn't have 2 zips on it(PJ53IMG.ZIP.ZIP) SHOULD ONLY HAVE ONE ZIP

Yes I see it process and after it reads it its supposed to flash it but instead it will just go to the bootloader menu

BOOT to bootloader then press power once to put it in fastboot and it should pick up the zip and ask if you want to continue hit vol up to proceed, it should then install

Do I have to have s-off for this to work?

no, but your bootloader has to be relocked if its unlocked

It did the same thing this it what the screen looks like then when the bar gets full it goes to the bootload menu

you need to pull the boot.img from the rom zip and flash it via adb. is your bootloader unlocked.
if you are unlocked and s-on you'll have to do this for each rom you flash.

OK how do I pull the boot IMG from the ROM

Is your bootloader locked? Do you have a custom recovery installed? You must have a locked bootloader and not have flashed a custom recovery.. In other words bone stock

If youre having the same problem I am, then none of this will work sorry. The problem seems to be the kernel, it installs but phone bootloops. The only kernel that works from me is zhp pilot' s 360. Give that a shot. I've given out on flashing any other roms than sense 3.6. This all started after I ruu to global firmware and flashed cm 9...

Probably really dumb...but how long are you waiting ? Most roms can take a minute to boot the first time ,which seems forever sometimes. I usually just put it down and do something else until its done.

Also some roms put a ph98img on Sd card, but you have to boot to bootloader after flashing Rom.

Make sure you launch your custom recovery through the command fastboot boot recovery.img Before trying to flash your roms boot.img
If you have permanently flashed a custom recovery to your phone, it cannot write to the /boot partition.
Also, after flashing rom from amon ra, reboot to bootloader, then use fastboot to flash the boot.img. After that, then you can boot to your home screen.

ok first of all to unlock again you need your unlock token from htcdev. the command is "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" without the " "
but you don't need to do that if you just want to get back to stock. leave the bootloader locked and run an RUU from here
one of the sprint ICS ruu should work. I have a gsm device so i'm not really sure which RUU

[Q] Bricked Evo 3D GSM :(

Hello. I bricked my evo and cant do anything. How did it happen? :
-I have downgraded hboot from 1.53.007 to 1.49.007 with downgrading tool.
-I made s-off and installed RUU ver. 1.20.401.2 europe shooteru
-Then i installed superuser and 4ext recovery
-After that i flashed custom ROM warm 2.3 with sense 3.5 and overclocked cpu to 1.56 Ghz and Gpu to 330 and 280 (i think)
-Everything working fine, but i wanted to revert back to RUU 3.28.401.1 and i shouldnt. So i thaught i can do it through that downgrading tool and light brick it and downgrade and install newer RUU but i didnt read that if i do it with s-off, then i got bricked. Downgrading tool showed that this device cannot accept data from it (or something like that)
-I tried pushing every button, more buttons at once and everything else, but i still see tiny red light next to front camera. Its charging i think, but nothing happening. Please help.
My device before brick:
warm 2.3
s-off
revolutionary
4ext
GSM evo
1.49.1101 (or something like that after s-off)
Which downgrading tool did you use?
