Disk mode not working, new radio broke? - Droid Incredible General

Alright well I have 2 questions. Before anything, yes I'm rooted.
I noticed that all of the sudden I wasn't able to use disk mode to access my phone or SD card. It's defaulted to disk mode, and it's set to ask me on plug. It only charges.
Any ideas on what's wrong?
Second, I tried flashing the 2.0 radio update. I downloaded it, renamed it to update.zip, and flashed it using ClockworkMod Recovery. It said everything went fine, so I hit reboot.
I checked, and it still says it's on 1.0 but now I have the wifi tether options and all of the new goodies of the 2.0 radio, but it says it's 1.0. Even worse, now my wifi won't turn on AT ALL. BT/GPS/3G all work.
I know you can't apply updates twice or you'll brick, so I'm attempting to restore my phone using a backup. I'm not sure if that even touches the radio...but it's the only thing I can think of.
What should I do?
EDIT: Okay, a restore worked. Is it safe to try the radio update again? I want to stay on my 2.1update1 ROM that came on here and not flash a custom one or the leaked 2.2. I can use the new radio without switching ROMs right? Is it safe to try installing it again? Maybe my download was bad...?

Stock 2.1 update 1. I'm rooted, though.

But how? It was fine before rooting, it was fine after rooting, it just randomly stopped working.
Both the SD and phone storage appear on my computer, but they're faded out and I can't access them.
It's WORKING, but doesn't let me access the storage and doesn't alert me or anything.

It's not my computer. My computer is working perfectly. The drives are like that because my phone has them disabled. When it DID work, if I had disk mode on and then turned it off, the drives were this way as well. It's not my computer.
Edit:
I did a hard reset and it's working fine.
Any ideas on the radio?

[Q] Vibrant in reboot loop help with build.prop in Froyo

First the phone went from stock to Froyo via mini kies. It was also rooted.
I downloaded Root Tools (I think that is what is was called) to try out the screen density settings. I set it to 280 and the app rebooted then that was all she wrote.
So I can get the download screen to show and I can get to the recover menu but I can't figure out how to get back into the phone and get it to work again. I would guess that going into the build.prod and changing the number back to like 200 or something would work, but I don't know how to update the file in the phone. I have also tried to use adb but it can't find the phone. I may not be doing that 100% correctly either.
I (of course) would like to do this without wiping the phone. I am currently downloading the 4 files for fixing the soft brick. Now it does not mention if I will lose everything doing that or not.
Any help/guidance would be wonderful!
Thanks.

Well i dont think you can fix it without wiping all your settings,apps and stuff that are in the phone memory, all data on internal and external storage will be fine. You need to get in download mode and use odin to install stock rom, there are gudes look them up.

[Q] Screen not working?

Ok, this is a fun one...
I was up late last night (too late to be doing anything on my nook apparently) and I opened CWM to see if there was an update for it. I noticed it could check for updates to my ROM, so I found the new nightly (160) with it. I decided to install it to see if that would be an easier way then manually downloading and flashing. It cam up with options to wipe cache and such, and I did not realize until too late that the Data and Cache options were one in the same.
So I set it to do a backup, then wipe the data/cache, and dalvik cache. When it booted back up I had lost everything...obviously. So I rebooted into recovery, and restored my backup. Once finished, the screen went blank and did not come back on.
Now I get nothing, no response from the screen. Today I DID plug it into the usb on my work computer and it tried to install drivers so I think it may be on...
Anyone have any ideas?
Anybody?
I'm hopin it is on and that the battery will die...but I am not sure that will solve anything.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Go here and start again: http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-nightlies/
Make sure you use the latest version of CWR (3.2.0.1)
The problem is actually that I get no response from my screen. It does not turn on, flash like it's going to work, DO anything. That's what has me so worried

It is fully charged and you get nothing with a bootable SD card installed? Have you tried this while still plugged in to the a/c current?
I do not know about being fully charged...but I HAVE tried it plugged into USB on my computer. Still nothing.
Ok, I got it on! Not sure if this was it but now it complained about low battery. I had previously plugged it in for a whole night and got nothin. I think I will use your previous link to just wipe it all and start from scratch.

Edit: I am back up and running, thanks for your advice!

[q] stuck in bootloop sprint ls980 please help!!!!

OK to start off i am not a noob at this, i have read though the forms and cant seem to find out why my phone will not come out of this bootloop. This started happening 2 days ago when I went to install a new rom on my phone. I powered down my phone, put it in recovery (Twrp), I wiped everything but internal storage. I then processed to flash the new rom. Everything went great. My phone rebooted and worked fine for the first 1 min, when i tried to pull down the notification bar the phone stuck off and went into a bootloop. I then tried to go back to my old rom and had the same problem (notification bar would not pull down). So i went to plan B and used the Back To Stock Form to restore the phone back to stock. The process went smooth as well not a problem at all. When the phone started up it allowed me to set up the voice navigation and name of the phone, as i went to update the prl and profile the phone shut off again, when it turned back on it starts normally and the goes to the lock screen where i am unable to make any iterations with the screen at all besides when it turns the blacklight off, as i try to use the knock on the LED light turns white but the screen will not turn back on (not even with the power button). Then it reboots to the lockscreen again and continues to do it until i manually force it off. I have tried everything from redownloading the firmware files, tried back to stock 3 times, hard factory reset, and reset in recovery mode. My phone is back to stock but i am unable to do anything with it unless i factory reset and go though the set up again, but even then i cant get a connection (even with wifi) without the phone shutting off and rebooting. Everytime the phone reboots the time reads 12:00am and switches to 12:01 really quick. I cant get a connection at ALL (I EVEN TRIED REMOVING THE SIMS AND AND PUT IT BACK IN AFTER BACK TO STOCK PROCESS.)
Im not sure if the application Dr.Web could possibly be making my phone do this. I did have it installed and did not remove before I tried to switch to the new rom. The anti-theft part was active.
SOMEONE PLEASE BE MY HERO AND HELP........I REALLY WOULD HATE TO DEAL WITH LG ON THIS ISSUE IF I CAN FIX IT MYSELF

god that is really hard to read...did you make a back up before you do installation? if so do a restore, if you dint, download another rom, kernel, put it in your phone, wipe everything except internal storage via TWRP then flash rom then kernel.

I had the same problem except with me, i was just trying to change fonts manually. It went into a bootloop and i stressed dover it for hours until finally i found out that you have to use the lg mobile support tool (you can find it in one of these threads on the lg g2) and revert it back to stock. That fixed it perfectly fine. Its a lengthy process but simple. If that doesn't work you have to do what the lg mobile support tool does semi-manually with another program lg flash tool which is longer but just as simple if you follow the directions given in the thread to the letter.

My friend also has a lg g2 that i rooted for him would i be able to use a backup from his phone. Also when i turn the phone conpletely off and hold down all 3 bottons it brings me to a hardware key settings it does shows my imei number there. If i sent it into lg would they know the phone was once rooted or does the back to stock method cover it up? Thanks for your help btw

they have coders there, I'm sure if they really want to know they can figure it out. If you send it in to get it fix out of your own pockets (meaning you pay them) then i'm sure they dont care, but if you want a replacement due to warranty then it may be a different story.

I eneded up restoreing my phone back to stock and took it into my local sprint store it cost ne 75 dollars to replace the phone not under warranty (if u have sprint protection its free) i told them i took and ota update and it started rebooting itself. If you do get a replacement make sure u back up your efs files to a safe place on your phone. Theses files can become corrupted by flashing roms and kernals.

Not under warranty? Doesn't it have a 1 year manufacturer warranty? The G2 wasn't released on Sprint until November last year so it should have been covered.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
Yes its still under manufacturer warranty but when i made a repair order with lg it said it would take 2 to 3 weeks to get my phone back and if they found out it was due to being rooted and flashing roms im sure lg would of charged a arm a leg to repair it. With sprint i got a new phone in 2 days or ordering it.

Phone acting wonky, ideas?

Having a few problems, very sluggish and buggy at times. The alarm doesnt work, whatever the alarm is set for the clock will just skip over that time, never seen that. Slow to respond when making calls. Play store doesnt really work, says downloading apps but will never actually finish the download and install anything. Any ideas at this point???
NB1 firmware
Reset it!

I really think you should try resetting it to factory default and try downloading the apps again. If its sluggish at times, there must be something you have installed on the phone. Is it rooted?
What ROM are you running? Stock Kernel? As the previous poster suggested, FACTORY RESET and see what happens.
Yes, you'll loose everything on the phone, but it's a small price to pay.....

Since its completely stock, yes you have to reset it. Factory Reset but not from the settings. I have been in the same situation before and I tried resetting it from the Recovery Mode which eventually helped.
Backup all your contacts, media files from your devices storage, S Notes (if not backed up by your Samsung account and other important files from the storage. If using a SD card in the phone, do backup ur media and just format it from your PC. Then reinsert it in the phone, turn the phone on using Recovery Mode (Vol Up + Home Btn + Power Btn) and Clear/erase the cache and then reset it. Turn the phone on if it doesnt automatically, set it up according to yourself and voila it would eventually work. Format ur SD Card using ur phone now and move all your data back in.
the problem I see is that there must be something unwanted and it installed on the device which causes various issues just like a virus. I hope this will help you out. I have done it on S4, S3 , Note 2 and Galaxy Grand and it did help me and my friends out. The same problem was there to deal with. Try it! Let us know if it worked.

Computer doesn't recognize phone.

I started having issues with my phone and tried to fix them. The problem was simple. The sensors stoped working. First I tried a hard reset (didn't work). Installed Lineage OS. Didn't fix the issue and made some errors form the install. Tried the stock ROM. I tried two of them with the first one I discovered that it was a problem with the firmware of the sensors. The I tried an older version thinking that the firmware wouldn't be compatible and that it would work better. (I'm not entirely sure but I think it was this version MPD24.65-18.1)
The installation went well without problems. The firmware was (again) downgraded (and later upgraded without asking permission). The big issue is that my phone now is unable to connect with the computer. When I plug it it starts to charge but nothing more happens. The computer isn't aware that it has anything plugged (according to the ports). So I cannot run adb and cannot change anything on the phone. I tried to install from a SD card on the recovery mode but I think I'm not doing it as it should. I plug the card and run the updater from the SD. The first thing that is odd is that it actually displays the internal memory. And then when I run either a OTA.zip or a compress of a build named PG86IMG.zip I get a verification error.
I do not know what to do. I would like either to have working sensors or the 7.1.1 version.
