possible soft brick, please help! - Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE

Hello,
I am able to access recovery, and the boot screen. I have 1.15 hboot s-on. When in recovery, the /system doesn't mount. I can see internal storage, and sdcard storage. Last thing I was doing I flashing boot.img for the cyanogenmod 10.1. Then i wanted to swap out to another rom.. however the one i swapped to was corrupted.. forgot to check md5 checksum. Any help for this? I have checked the internet and google but only found results for other phones/devices.
Is there anything I can flash via fastboot or anything to fix this?

Flash stock rom in bootloader. Lots of examples in here if you look.

Ive tried the original ruu.. however the 'stock' zips found on here all redirect to some slow site(s) that times out before the download can complete.. or it completes corrupted.. the whole day has been pretty much wasted waiting for 1 hour long downloads that end of erroring out within 10 mins of being complete. I wish I could find this on a torrent or something fast.

RUU 4.03.605.2 download link

Does anyone have a good downlink for RUU 4.03.605.2? I have searched everywhere to find one. The androidpolice site seems to be down as I get a javascript error when I try to download from there and none of the mirrors work. I tried to download from the dropbox link posted in a different topic but it was corrupted everytime I downloaded. I s-off'd as soon as I could and I haven't updated anything since except changed roms and want to update to the newest update and then go back to my current rom which is viper 1.0.3. Thanks for any help. Once I find the link I just need to flash the ruu twice, factory reset, flash jbear hboot, recovery and rom of my choice is that correct?
I distributed it as a torrent file within a few hours of Android Police posting it. Apparently uTorrent isn't very popular in these forums.
If we had a hundred seeders it would be the fastest way to download the RUU file.
If you like using uTorrent, here is the torrent file
http://db.tt/RsULMvOy
However, I don't think there are many seeders.
regards,
Howard
P.S. After downloading remember to check the MD5 with that published by Android Police

I tried that one about 8 times yesterday and it never worked so I tried it again and I get the same error as yesterday "{"INFO":"failed posted hashcheck","SOLUTION":"please make sure you have javascript enabled for androidfilehost.com. Hit the back button, enable javascript and try again please. we promise we are probably not doing anything nefarious. maybe. no promises though."}" My javascript is already enabled and I am running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit w/windows explorer 9. I downloaded that bit torrent but it says it is corrupt and it took 4 hours to download.
Edit: I just tried it on Windows XP with explorer 8 and got the same error message.
Edit: Just downloaded Google Chrome and it is working. Internet Explorer is the problem.
Edit: I downloaded 3 different times from the androidfilehost website and from 3 different computers and all 3 times the zip file was corrupt.

Try the download from your phone. I had the same invalid folder message when downloading it from a PC. Once I did it from my phone, the download worked.

Thanks, I actually just tried that and it downloaded about 10x faster but I had the same error message. I verified the MD5 and then used a zip file repair to recover it and it worked. I just flashed it twice but it did fail on MDM_CUST, TPZ and Radio Cust2 and then I did a factory reset. It just rebooted and appears to be working correctly.

Thanks. there servers appear to be down. I'll try them again later. My phone appears to be working but the last update had 3 things fail on the update so I will probably redo it once I find a good download think. Thanks again.
EDIT: I got the same corrupt error message from shipped-roms as I did from Androidpolice on both my phone and computer. It got me thinking and it ended up being my winzip program was saying it was corrupt when it wasn't. I changed to 7zip and the error message went away and I just reflashed my phone and it went perfect without any errors. Thanks for the all the help.

I love how I was just doing a factory data reset to start dumping stock images to upload here. Literally reset phone, then while it was resetting, I see your post of this here.....FML, lol. Now I spend 2 hrs re-setting up my phone for nothing, haha. Thanks for the upload dude, much appreciated!!!
Thanks so much! Anyone mind putting a real brief set of instructions. I know he just got done so he's probably resting. But if anyone could chime in I think would be great. Or if the jnstructuins for other roots work then just let me know. I know how to search?

Thanks for these, and for root - worked like a charm.
So yeah... I found instructions and was able to flash from odin but I have no su and root apps are telling me I don't have root. I tried to install su from the play store but it said I didn't have binaries. Is there more to this than just flashing or what? Thanks in advanced.

If we root and later Odin back to stock, will there be any trace left on the phone showing we were rooted (in other words, will the unlock picture come up after re-flashing stock?)
Thanks for all your work on this!!!

[Q] Please help me save my 3 months old GN2

Hi i got my white AT&T Galaxy Note ii few months back and i really loved it, i was first using my phone with Wifi since it was locked, but after unlocking it few days ago, when i inserted my sim card, the phone showed 4G and ever since my BATTERY have not known peace, i loose 1% battery life in like 2 minutes.
I also had issues turning on my wifi hotspot so i can share network to other devices.
When i found this awesome site, i learned that i could root my phone and get it to do so much more, i did that successfully with an APK app here called framaroot, now i followed every single step well and booted my phone with Samsung Custom rom i think.
But the problem now is, my battery is still not been able to hold a charge, the 4G icon is still there which i don't need for anything, am ok with 3G, and i still have all this crazy useless AT&A apps allover my phone and i can't even turn on my hotspot for tethering.
Please i hope to get solution to this problems, and i hope i have not asked my question in the wrong thread.
Thanks all.

go here for downloading you stock firmware
or here also download odin from the second link
then open odin and place the downloaded tar file in pda
if it is a zip file extract it you will get tar file or tar.md5
then backup your data etc and turn off your phone
press vol down+home+power button to enter a screen then press vol up to enter download mode
connect your phone to pc
odin will show the port you connected
then start flashing after some time usually below 10min
odin will show pass then remove your phone and on
your phone will be as fresh as you bought

yes you can but the better is flash stock rom before you go to any custom ones
first flash the stock
then root
then do as you want install any custom rom kernel etc etc
and the process for installing stock rom will be on the original thread of the rom so follow that

One more thing please and i hope you understand why am asking this.
Am in Africa right now and downloading here is very much limited, so i want to know, do i really need to download the the stock rom from the first link and flash it before this problem can be fixed or can the CUSTOM Jedi rom do the job for me as well, please i don't want to download 2GB if i really don't need it then renew my internet connection with a huge amount.

Hi,
After installing the Jedix 19 ROM the phone is stock on the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo.
What do you think could be the cause of this, i even did the wipe data and wipe cache process but still the same thing.
Do you have a recovery installed? If you've got cwm, download CyanogenMod and stick it on an mini SD card, move it to your phone, factory wipe it and flash it. Its worked for me on a boot looped gnote2. Also, once you get a working ROM, just use your root to remove system apps.
only do this is if you have a custom recovery like cwm or twrp
Step by step:
0: get the required stuff, you're gonna need about 250mb of internet, a microsd card, a card reader and some patience.
1: download CyanogenMod, http://get.cm and get a stable for the t0lteatt (att gnote 2)
2:download gapps for 4.3.
3:move them both to the SD and put it in your phone. Boot into recovery.
4:factory reset it, hope you don't using a out of the box phone.
5:flash cm, then gapps.
6:reboot
7:if it works, take a backup
Good luck!

Hi thanks so much for your reply, i appreciate your time.
Yes i have a backup file with the help of CWM and i have been able to move back to my backup file.
My phone model is SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 and from all the reviews i have seen i think the JediX Custom ROM is the best yet for it so am trying to stick with it for a start.
I need suggestions on why after getting the congratulation message to feel the force, it won't boot and just hangs.
Please if you have experienced this in the past please your suggestions are welcomed.
Ask me questions and i'll provide answers that am sure will help you to help me solve this
I would just flash cyanogen for the time being to see if itll even boot. It just replaces the downloading stock in previous posts. If you can get it to boot, that will be progress.

So sorry i forgot to mention it that i was able to restore to my stock backup file and my phone is working fine, but i still want to flash a ROM on it.
Am tired of charging this phone every minute, this is a Note II for crying out loud.
If i ask you to choose for me, between Jedix19 and CyanogenMod 10, which would you stick with so that i'll know if am to start downloading a new ROM to flash again and try.
Thanks
Honestly I've never used a Jedi ROM, so mainly if you want to stick to Jedi try flashing a different version. Good job taking that backup, that saved a whole lotta trouble.

for battery try any other kernel or use set cpu or no frills to set up the kernel for optimum battery
That, or your battery may just be shot. You can buy one for it off the internet: I'm rockin' a 5300 mah for this.

What are you looking for?
the files on the first post in this thread. What I'm trying to do is this. I have two phones that are in boot loops. So looking for a recovery I can load through the scheme of having and pj75img.zip file with twrp or just the stock rom.
I'm sorry if I sounded like a total douche in the previous post. Just too many hits on the search engine that take me to nowhere. And I honestly don't understand what happens to the files. Are they removed for some legal reason? If they were moved why not update the link? Anyhow. Thanks for the concern. Its appreciated at this point.

3.17.651.9 this was the last official OTA/ RUU sent out by HTC.
[ROM][FIRMWARE][RECOVERY][STOCK] Sense 5, Android 4.3 Final Update - 4.13.651.4 alot of good info.
4.13.651.4 Last official RUU for this device. Read the thread above there is alot of great info before using this RUU.
Official TWRP
I might have this all wrong but here is my problem. Both phones just endlessly boot the HTC screen go dark and repeat. I can't install the update with fastboot, adb etc because there isn't a system thats running right. I don't thing the PC to phone update will work either for the same reason. I've tried naming what I think was the last stock version by putting it in SDRAM (in the root) and of course naming it PL75IMG.zip If I boot into bootloader it loads the img fine. When I reset its failing the same way. The phone is Security on. I don't know if its rooted because it doesn't get far enough to test. Perhaps I'm not loading a signed file?

You have to be s-off to use PJ75IMG files.
RUU should run regardless whether there is a system or not.
RUU = Rom Update Utility
I would like a stock recovery. Trying to bring the phone back to stock, only issue I have is the RUU fails when I run it (i have tried every ruu I could find including viperuu). I finally got one that I thought it was working, but the ruu failed and it brought the me back to 2.09 with now system and recovery kept failing. I dont know what all happened but I was unable to flash anything for a few days. Finally I found a PJ755IMG that got me back on 2.10 and I was able to flash again. I also found a stock sprint rom.zip all I need now is to be back to 100% stock would be, to get it running a stock recovery.
I am getting a "404" message that the files are no longer available... Does anybody have a copy?

Amaze is supposedly dead

Phone was working great until it just froze, I did a battery pull and now it won't go past the HTC white logo screen.
It boots into recovery, but only as safe mode.
Cannot access internal memory or external memory.
Haven't tried wiping the system since I can't really access the storage space to flash anything, or even restore a backup.
It's not dead. Simone else just posted the same exact problem.
Download the latest ruu. Pull your external sdcard.
Put sdcard in the computer.
Copy the ph85img.zip to it.
Put sdcard in phone.
Boot to bootloader.
Follow the on screen instructions.
That'll get you back to square one.
Also look for Odysseus' post in the other threads. He has some good information on this subject.

Thank you for the advice. I was thinking about putting the ruu but I wasn't sure. I needed confirmation on this issue.
I will keep you posted about what happens.

As Chevy said, someone else posted with this exact same problem a day or two ago. Since you're S-off and unlocked the procedure is to download the latest factory image for your device. You can't flash one from another carrier or you'll brick it. There are links in one of the "pinned" threads at the top of the forums.
Once you have it downloaded rename it to "PH85IMG.zip" (note the capitalization must be exactly the same) and place it in the root of your external SD card. Now comes the fun part. It won't flash on an unlocked bootloader, so you must relock it using ADB commands or with the Amaze toolkit (don't worry you won't loose S-off). BTW I hope you saved the HTC unlock blob from when you first unlocked as you'll need it again to unlock later.
Flash the image from the bootloader hboot. When it's finished then go to settings / about phone /software information and accept any HTC updates. With a T-Mobile phone there will be at least three OTA's depending on which image you installed. Two of them are 30MB and require rebooting in between. The last one just updates a couple of .apks and doesn't need a reboot. You need these to get the latest radio.
Once all of the updating is finished you'll be back to factory with the latest radio. Now all you have to do is unlock, install a recovery, reroot, SuperCID, and you'll be ready to play again.
I hope this helps
Thanks again for the help, the phone is functional again. Does anybody have any idea why this happens?

Holy crap I did none of the above. The ruu flashed on the unlocked bootloader, I didn't even capitalize it.
The bootloader stayed unlocked, I didn't check the supercid on it................................................................ I just re-installed the recovery
It booted fine though, so I have no idea what's going on

I'm as careful as they come. but it happened to me a few weeks back too. Sometimes you just get a bad flash, other times NAND memory cells get stuck (they wear out over time) or are slow to accept data. All it takes is an important part of the file system flashed onto a bad data block and the whole thing can get stuck in a loop. For me I had been trying out a bunch of ROMS and somehow a kernel failed to flash. I ended up with a kernel mismatch (kernel modules don't match the kernel) which resulted in a bootloop.
As a precaution I just keep an old 2GB SD-card handy that only has the Amaze image on it, so in case of an emergency all I have to do is relock the bootloader, stick in the SD card and I'm back in action within 15 mins.

That's a good idea, but is it really necessary for me right now? You know, since the bootloader is still unlocked, SuperCID is still 1's and I'm still S-OFF?
If it happens again, I'll re-lock, reload, and re-flash

Did you flash from your SD card or push the ruu with ADB? Usually it will only accept the zip image from the bootloader, but the ruu can be pushed with ADB.
What ever the case I'm just glad things worked out.

Flashed via SD card.
By the way, can we dual boot this phone?
I know, it's risky booting it to two os, but I'm just wondering cause making backups and restoring nandroids are becoming a pain every time I want to take good photos. :/ So I was wondering if we could dual boot.
I dual booted my old defy that only had about half the ram, and half the processing speed lmao so why not this device?

I could dual boot on my old HD2 as well. I don't believe any devs here have written a bootloader with that capability for the Amaze, but you could always just do a search and find out for yourself. It might be just a matter of porting an existing app to this device. Good luck!!!!

I googled it, the only thing that came up was an old thread about someone asking for the system/cache/boot sizes.
Looks like no one really wanted it for this device.
I wish they did though, the Sense camera is amazing

I know what you mean. One reason I keep coming back to NRG is because of camera and video. I can't find a replacement that comes close.

I've actually never flashed that one lol
But I was reading up and apparently there's a HD camera mod (can't remember if it was the desire or sensation) that was supposed to take better 1080p videos and superb photos.
I saw it floating the forums a while ago, but it was a sense cam so I couldn't flash it. I had Pac 4.3 at the time.
Now I'm on 4.4 Evervolv, so far so good. Lowest ram usage I've ever had with a lot of apps installed, so I'm happy with it.
I may or may not try Cyanogenmod 11 but I'm in no hurry.

No idea why it happens but I had the same symptoms - wouldn't get past the HTC logo but this happened after I had simply powered the phone off and removed the battery after I wasn't going to use it for a while [playing with the Lumia 920].
It seemed like the partition map gets wiped out or something causing the problem.
The hdd camera is in the aroma installer I'm my viper Rom.
Well also be the camera default in the upcoming release of jellybean sense and other future releases.

Sounds good, but no kit kat?
One Rom at a time... Lol
Ravike and I have been working on this for a while now. Can't progress until we get the next level finished, then the next version will be hopefully easier. We are getting closer. Ravike has a lot of building from scratch to do.

Ooooh
I used your rom, I love the full gpu rendering. Haven't tried the camera yet, but looking forward to that HD mod that's on there.
Nenamark2 gets 50.5 fps!!!!!!!!!! That's the most I've ever seen this device go up to!!!!
Damn! Awesome lol
Antutu shows that the graphics goes over the 4000 mark. Definitely love it.

ViperAmaze was one of the first ROMs I tried when I got mine. I loved everything about it except I had Bluetooth pairing and WiFi tethering issues. Since I'm a truck driver, I need hands free on my daily driver. Unfortunately, it seems most if not all of the builds that are not derived directly from the OEM HTC Amaze, have some type of Bluetooth or WiFi issue that's not easily overcome.
