HTC incredible endless boot loop

i have a non-rooted HTC incredible, however it's stuck in an endless boot loop. I can enter recovery, but that's about it.
any suggestions as to what i can do?

hard reset may work

i tried hard resetting it. this did not solve the problem.

ok. if you are not rooted, take ot back to big red and get a replacement. from what i hear, the incredible is not that well made. i know that on my inc-- sometimes haptic feedback gives out, sound gives out, amd it overheats

i am the second owner of the incredible, and apparently, the warranty only applies to the original owner.

Are you root?
When and how did this start happening?

im actually thinking of taking it back and getting a moto droid. i love the dinc, but it is poorly made.
Too bad i cant return, as i got it on release day. maybe if i can pick a good fight with the vzw guy, i could swap it out.

i'm not rooted. i was just using the phone normally and then it randomly rebooted. now it's stuck in a loop.
do you guys think if i apply a manual non-rooted update it would fix the problem?
if yes, where can i get a link to download this?

RUU
You should try running any of the stock RUU's; maybe even the most recent one (although I make no warranty; and this is at your risk). Perhaps your reboot loop is a heat related issue due to a faulty radio which is working too hard.

has the RUU's although it is not clear as to how long.
I am on my 2nd incredible; first one overheated and would then would do a 4-13 white screen / black screen / white screen / ... until it would move on.

ruu, hard reset, and stock img, that is it. Your dinc is hosed. I hope you have insurance??? (this is the part where you say yes)
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

Welp
While it may not help you, it can't hurt to say. I was having huge reboot issues ... highest number was 13 initial white screen / black screen cycles. I could also NEVER get into Recovery (I could get into HBOOT but when I chose recovery, it would do TWO reboots, the second being full). A battery pull was usually needed.
However, the one thing that allowed me into recovery, etc., was to let the phone charge overnight to 100% and let it be. In the morning, the phone was charged and cool. At that point, I could easily get into recovery, start up, etc.
While I am sure you have tried this; just wanted to note to make sure your phone is cool and you did a battery pull for at least 10 minutes.

I too have this issue
I also have a stock incredible that I bought second hand, which when i bought it, I checked to make sure the device was ok. When I activated it like 2 minutes later it entered a reboot loop. I thought it might be a botched PRL so I went to the Verizon Rep (I met the seller at vz store) and he performed a forced activation. It continued the reboot loop so I took it home. I noticed that if I was outside or near a window, the phone would act normally. I used this discovery to root it and install a recovery. I flashed a few kernel/rom/radio combinations including stock rooted but there was no luck. I flashed back to RUU and it continued to reboot loop. The next day I reversed the activation back to my Eris. 20 minutes later the phone is perfect. I reactivated the device and it commenced rebooting immediately. I took it back to the store and they noted the same behavior. I'm pretty sure it's a faulty radio but since it wasn't activated on the original # they couldn't warranty it. They did tell me if the original owner activates it, they will warranty it so were gonna do that. I hope nobody else has this issue, but if you have this problem, try RUU, and if that doesnt fix it, it's likely hardware failure

Recommendations please Help

I just got the eris on the 20th of july. I had heard that HTC was really good but I have started running in to problems.
I rooted and I am using evil eris rom 3.0. I noticed yesterday that the awake button started not working after further investigation I noticed I could tap on the side and it would wake up.
Also just noticed today that was getting pretty hot and using the battery significantly. only lasted 5 hours.
I am considering returning the phone as I have 30 days.
Anyone have any Ideas

Search through the forums for specific problems you are having, then trouble shoot. Have you reflashed the ROM? Tried any others? Did you do a nandroid backup, if so have you tried a restore? The phone could be complicated so if you don't want to put in the effort id recommend returning it.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App

Did you ask your question in the Evil Eris thread ? Maybe others running the same ROM are having similar issues.

yeah, I tried two other roms for a short time I liked this one the best. At first I didnt have any problems.
Are you suggesting i wipe this flash then reflash it again.
Also are you suggesting I restore the original.
Ive been searching just Havent found anything yet.
I really would like some input on if you guys think I should work through this with the phone. Are these phones reliable and such I dont mind tweaking it a little to get it right. But I dont want to have constant problems

HTC does make great phones. However, you shouldn't base your opinion of the phone off of hacking into it and modifying it (especially being a less-than-a-week-old first-time HTC owner who hasn't done a lot of footwork to troubleshoot the issues).

Yes you should wipe and reflash the rom and see if that does anything. If that doesnt help, do a restore (supposing you did a back up). Also a lot of these roms are over clocked so the phone can get hot from using it a lot especially if its on the charger.
Since you rooted your phone, you have void your warranty. Basically if verizon decides to check the software builds and whatnot and discovers you have rooted, you might not get another phone. There are threads on how to unroot your phone, so I suggest doing that before you return it if you decide to.
Also I might suggest sense able 3.1 very stable rom

Hey bud thanks for the positive feedback. Your help is greatly appreciated.
I do really like the phone. You know all that power in such a small package. Thats the reason for these forums I believe so that we can help eachother.
Ill try that and see what happens.

I really hated my eris until i started using froyo based roms.. They are a bit buggy especially the camera but well worth the effort even if just for battery life. I went from 15-20% lose an hour to 5-8% unless i use alot of data.. then its more like 10-12%.

Updating MYNS and BRICKED my phone in the process. Anyone else?

I was installing the new Myn's Warm lastnight upgrading from the previous version. It did not install properly and COMPLETELY BRICKED my phone. It won't turn on, can't connect to computer via USB, nothing at all! Anyone else have this problem? OR any solutions other than taking to Sprint?

I doubt that your phone is bricked. Hopefully you DO have a rooted EVO though. I would plug it in and let it charge. Then take out the battery and put it back in and turn it on while holding down power and volume down keys to boot into recovery. Also hopefully you made a nandroid backup so restore that and go from there. I had no problems with flashing RLS5 at all. Hopefully this helps. Otherwise maybe someone with a little more knowledge can help you...
Sprint is DEFINITELY not the answer...

do a battery pull and try to get it to hboot. then try and run the RUU. if not you may have to take it to sprint.

The phone won't charge, won't turn on, can't hboot. I do have backups if I could get it to turn on I could restore it. Had no problems before. I will attempt to charge it as you have suggested but I even put a different fully charged battery in and the phone does not even make at attempt to turn on. I agree I doubt that Sprint is the answer

did you flash any radio updates? any prls, I've never heard of flashing a rom making a phone brick, but definitely heard of radio updates bricking devices.

i really doing think his update bricked your phone

This means that while installing Warm you bricked your phone. Don't give his ROM a bad name.
I would recommend trying to charge it and maybe try a different battery, but then just run the RUU and go from that. I had the same problem with RLS 4.
Sent from my EVO using XDA App

If you used the package to update the pri, radio, etc then that may be the problem, hopefully you aren't bricked.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Are you sure that you didn't flash the radio? I flashed Myn's rom last night and I didn't run into any issues, in fact I've never heard of a rom bricking a phone, that usually happens when a radio flash goes terribly wrong. Anyhow, you can take it back to Sprint since it's still under warranty and they will replace it for $35.

ive heard several people say it has in fact jacked their phones up. hence why i have not upgraded to it yet.

I'm not trying to give his ROM a bad name. I've tried many of them and like his the best by far. I'm simply asking if anyone else ran into the same problem. From what some others are posting it may have been the radio update which I did also attempt to install, it was included in the package. So please don't overreact to the post. However my phone is completely bricked unless someone can figure out how to get it to boot up or even charge.

the radio update isn't included with the rom.
it's also been highly advised in the warm thread itself to flash just the radio, then just the wimax, then perhaps the nv/pri, because so many people have been having trouble with the pri update.
the radio combo pack isn't bundled with anything else and, right now, many think it should be avoided for reasons just like this.
not a solution, just clarification and friendly advice for anyone else who's curious about possible trouble with the upgrades.

I updated my radio/pri/wimax and all that jazz before the last Fresh update, so I had no need to this go around. I simply wiped data/dalvik/cache and flashed the RLS 5, with no problems. I did run into issues after I tried restoring my apps + data, but that was a Titanium Backup issue

Just my 2 cent.. often times we flash before reading the thread and then complain about a kernel,ROM or theme.
After reading what you said I can only come to the conclusion that you and all the others complaining about the radio update are obviously impatience. All who have had problem with the update on the radio all stated their phone sat on the white screen and they did a battery pull.
Yet the radio update thread says it will/can take up to 30 min to flash. The best way to check your phone would be to use another battery. I have never heard a bricked phone that doesn't cut on. That's a battery issue.
What kernel were you using before flashing?
What ROM?
What's your hboot?

I'm not complaining on here. I am simply looking for a solution in which I've tried changing batteries and that doesn't do it either. If anything this is a post where others can learn not to make a possible mistake which has caused my phone not to work. I would think probably think the same thing if I were sitting back in your shoes. In hindsight yes I should have flashed everything seperately.

I can confirm brick.
I had a rev 4 EVO, and planned on updating from myn's RLS 4 to 5 today...and experienced the "no power on" brick.
Here's what I did.
Update Rom Manager to current (as of 1/8/11)
reboot
Update Clockwork Mod Recovery to current (as of 1/8/11)
reboot
clear/format cache, wiped dalvik cache
Applied calkulin's Radio/Wimax combo linked directly of Myn's RLS5 thread - the one hosted on mediafire
applied Myn's RLS 5 .zip
rebooted
hung at screen where the little android guy is standing next to a box with an arrow...i've seen this before in playing with roms, but can't remember what it actually is
pulled battery, reinserted, tried to power on with no avail
attempted every combination of button and long button pressing, with and without adapters, and could not get phone to light up at all or even resemble a working device in any way shape or form
I took to the store, claimed ignorance, they swapped me out with little hassle to an exchanged Rev 3 EVO. I figured if the tech could get it booted to the point where they even saw s-off, then they could give the phone back to me and i could take it from there.

Nope the phone will not even charge. I've changed batteries and chargers. I am assuming I am one person who has just had extremely bad luck with a random flash. I was running Myn release and did a backup and wipe then phone would not reboot and completely shut down. I got the android guy with the arrow and then it went completely dead and won't turn back on.

That is almost exactly what happened to me. I considered doing the same thing but don't really want to chance getting busted for a rooted phone

i've never flashed a radio update, i'm too chicken lol.
the quickest way to brick any phone is a f'ed up radio flash. or pulling the battery while flashing a radio.
i would take it to sprint and tell them you accepted a over-the-air update and then your phone shut off and this is what happened.

[Q] Bricked HTC Shift - Only Flashing LED's NO BOOTLOADER

I have successfully rooted my HTC Shift and verified using the bootloader. I have been able to power down and power up the phone without any problems UNTIL I forgot to charge the battery one night and now all I can get the phone to do is to flash the LED 30 times. The screen never starts up, and I can't see the device from windows or linux when plugged in. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

Put a charged batt in it and see if it boots.

im assuming you're the same guy from the IRC.
Try a new battery as suggested above and in the IRC previously.

I had the same thing happen with my G1 and my MyTouch, in both cases it was the battery.

For some reason HTC batteries from the snap up have a tendance of not turning on when they get below a certain voltage. Go to your local sprint store and ask them to test your battery, explain that you've heard of this issue on the evos. They shouldn't give you any issues.
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk

Any luck?
If you came from an Evo or Hero you should be able to use the old battery from one of those.

jump start
Yes it is a known issue they tell you they are going to jump start your phone / battery. But all in all i think they gave me a new battery. But I do have a new phone coming and maybe now my wife will keep it charged.

I had the exact same issue with the shift. Its not a problem so to speak. Like said above once the phone drops below a certain charge it disables almost everything and it wont do anything and it wont charge! Why, even the guys at the sprint store who I'm all really good friends with, they didn't know either. Just get a battery charger and force the battery. That's what they did at the store

This may sound silly. But have you tried a battery pull?

And in the process make the cell phones and rate plans cost more for everyone else cause yet another a-hole wants there warranty honored when they knowingly VOIDED the warranty. Getting so tired of this. Between people bypassing paying for tethering and OVERLY taking advantage, and bull**** like returning phones that you KNOWINGLY VOIDED THE WARRANTY WHEN YOU ROOTED AND INSTALLED THAT CUSTOM ROM on it, it is ZERO wonder why they all want to sign the god dam bootloader anymore. These may be evil corporations were dealing with, but there is still a difference between right and wrong. These few on xda will ultimately be our downfall. This thread is all kinda fail.

i dont know why it bricked, i did nothing different than what was done before to it. any time i ever did have problems was with the bootanimation screen would stay on and device would never boot, but i was still able to fix that with a full wipe and fresh reinstall. this was maybe a hardware failure of some sort? ive done all the same stuff to my mt4g (went from iced glacier to CM7, been on CM7 since nightly 6 or 8 with that one), and for a longer amount of time now and no issues at all. funny thing is i dont even flash nightly, or weekly...usually about 10-14 days ill flash an updated newer rom. now i know some of you people here are major fanatics about flashing nightly, changing radios constantly, kernels, amongst other things...i do half of that stuff and at probably a tenth of the rate that some of you hardcore folks do. so before you wanna pass judgement, i have been doing this same stuff since november on 3 different phones and never had a problem since yesterday at random. so i dont know why some of you get pissed when people have defective equipment. id guess if my hinge broke you would be telling me it was because of flashing roms too??? my rom was already flashed, working, and then when email was syncing it locked up, did a battery pull and nothing worked since. get a grip folks, crap happens. its not like i improperly flashed a non sense rom direct over a sense rom then back again with no wiping, clearing cache, data, etc etc etc then flash 3 incorrect kernels and bad themes and so on. if my device at least would power up, i wouldnt have decided to have it exchanged under warranty because i probably would have been able to fix it somehow since there are write ups about semi bricked devices. even plugging it into the computer does nothing now.

We have been looking into this issue on IRC for the past week or so. ANYONE WHO IS HAVING THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO STOP BY THE IRC CHANNEL.
We need to get some more info, right now we only have 2 cases to go on.
