Need Help Urgently!

I rooted my Sprint Hero and installed MoDaCos rom and then tried to install the "Red Is Dead" theme. Now I'm in a boot loop. It gets to the Hero screen on boot up and then starts over with the Sprint animation. I did a Nandroid back up. So now I need help to get my phone back. URGENTLY! Thanks.

Boot to your recovery.
if your nandroid backup is not on your sd card, put it there by
plug into pc and and turn on usb mode
copy nandroid backup to the root of sd card
unmount and turn off usb mode
choose nandroid restore
and it should restore. good luck

Thanks for the quick reply, but I don't even get that far. It never boots. Just keeps going from Sprint flashy thing to Hero wavy bots screen and back.

turn phone off hold home and hit the pwer button from if you got the recovery in there you can do what esoteric1311 said

I don't get recovery. I get the clear storage screen. The one with the scateboarding androids.

then put the stock rom on it

Bear with me, this is my first Android. How can I put the stock rom on it from this screen? I have the nandroid back up in the sd card, and my comp.

Come on, guys. Can anybody think of anything?

First take a deep breath. Now while you're phone is off press and HOLD the Home key then press the Power key while STILL holding Home. This will bring you to the recovery screen.

hold volume down, and hit red power button
when the skateboarding android comes up, push the home button
then follow the nandroid restore.. etc.

White screen with scateboarding droids. "CLEARSTORAGE"
"Delete all user data?"
<ACTION> Yes
<SEND> No
Above that is my phone info. That's what I get when I do Home then Power? Where do I go from there?

not power home.
volume down + power
then home when the skateboarding androids come up
btw.. where did you get that theme from??? what's it supposed to do?

Why are you telling him to do things the long and complicated way?

I got it from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578591) Just wanted to change the color of my hero. Trying Voiume/Power now.

Didn't think it was that complicated or long. It's what worked for me when I needed to do a nandroid restore. The OPs previous post said he was at some other screen instead of the black screen w/ green text to do the nandroid restore. Thats all.

Now restoring latest backup.......................................................................................and so on.Will let you know how it goes.

VICTORY!! YOU GUYS ROCK! Thanks for actualy responding. Most forums I subscribe too I post and people act like they might get N1H1 if they respond. Thank you. Just one more question. How can I tell if MoDaCo's rom restored too?

menu --->setting--> about phone
scroll to build info or something
if your last nandroid was after you did modaco, then its modaco. what i do is backup, move from sd to pc and rename "nandroid (stock)", "nandroid (modaco1.1)", etc..
the only known theme working for modaco that i know of is the clear as a bell...

Your way he is entering to the fast boot screen instead of straight to recovery. It's a completely unnecessary step and makes it even more confusing for people already so confused they trying to put themes that aren't even made for their phone (ie the author of this thread).
It's best to keep things as simple as possible. Not everyone knows what they doing or an expert with Android.

Did you even read anything about the theme before you flashed? Thats a gsm theme. The rom version is not even the same as the cdma version. Well lesson learned I guess. Good luck.

HELP!! Trackball doesnt work on Recovery.

Loud volume hack broke my mic.And no one hears me talk on the phone. I reseted the settings on the Loud volume hack app and nothing. I booted in recovery and the trackball doesnt work so i cant navigate to do a nandroid restore. Is there any way to fix this!??

If you are on the 1.6.2 version of the recovery, you can use the Volume buttons to navigate and the Send button to click ;D

OMG!!!! U SAVED MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! Lol
I feel so dumb i didnt try that i tried every button but those lol

Im flashing the new fresh rom but in recovery my trackball goes only up not down. imma try it as soon as this rom is flashed. maybe my trackballs broken

Problem with volume key

hey everyone..Recently my volume rocker stopped working only the up key has somehow become non-functional...My phone is under warranty So I was thinking to flash the phone back to stock...but thing is that it would take time for the part to come back so the service center would probably hand my phone back but since the volume up is not working n quick root will not be working what can I do..???
is there a way to directly boot to recovery or anything that would help me quickly revert the phone to stock n back to custom rom??

You can flash a stock .sbf using rdslite for your phone. Look under the devolpment section for how to revert ur phone back to stock.

I know how to revert back to stock but the problem is volume key...coz service center would want me to wait for few days till they get the part coz in order to show them the phone is actually running on stock I can do is return to stock but the problem is then the phone will not be rooted after going to stock..how will I be able to boot to android nani n root the phone while the part is not available.??

You don't need to boot into nandriod nani to root ur phone. Use universal androot like most people do. http://www.4shared.com/file/HvHnis8C/Universal_Androot_v161.htm
But if you want to get into open recovery I suggest using Androidiani OpenRecovery 3.3
and using zeppelinrox's Autoboot script which will allow you to boot into OpenRecovery by just holding the x key which can be found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796679&page=26
and you can find openrecovery 3.3 here http://code.google.com/p/androidiani-openrecovery/downloads/list
Btw I have the same issue with my volume up key being broken on the volume rocker so I use zepps autoboot script to boot into openrecovery to flash custom roms so you shouldn't have any problems. If you need help let me know and I'll be glad to assist you.
Hope this helps.

Can't this thing be fixed I mean can't the volume up key thing be fixed by the service center??They can do that right thank you I found zeps guide recently will be doing this very soon I'll be needing your help doing it

Umm as for fixing your volume key I've no idea but they should be able to fix it. My phone Isn't under warranty since I bought it used so I can't get it fixed. And Zepps guide should be all you need. Contact me if you need help with it.

Ghost touch means that the digitizer is failing, you might want to look into getting a new digitizer off of eBay.

No need to open a new thread each day with the same problem.
In your other thread from yesterday you wrote that odin stopped at factoryfs.img.
And as a member wrote you bricked your device.
So two options:
a) replace motherboard for complete repair
b) use the workaround with repartition (and excluding damaged sectors) - use the search here for the detailed explanations how to do this.

If you repartition, be warned you'll lose up to 3gb of space and it's likely you won't be able to run stock roms anymore, only cm based or aokp as they're smaller.

As this member wrote in another thread (search above in my first answer) he bricked his device. So the "right" button combo isn't of any use here

There is no "miracle" fix.

thanks Thai
Learned something new about the button combos
Didnt know they would change under certain conditions. Thought they would stay the same. Funny it workes that way. Never read it before. Pretty easy mistake to make on my behalve, I read his combos and really thought he was doing it wrong. Sorry, I then had it wrong. My bad.

Hi

I am new to this forum persay i have been browsing and learning for a lil while now. And now i got a issue i cant find or resolve on my own. I bought a droid incredible s today and it was going into the hard rest menu ( power down and volume down ) and i downloaded a new firware for it of here and was getting ready to install it and now it wont go into the hard rest menu. I don't know what happened... Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Uhm.. could it be that you flashed firmware of another device?

If you did a Wipe Data/System Reset from the boot loader menu, you have reset the device settings and the FASTBOOT option is now enabled which prevents you from getting into the boot loader.
You need to boot the phone normally and then disable the FASTBOOT mode and also turn on adb debugging mode while you are at it.
In order to flash the custom ROMs on this forum, you will need to unlock the boot loader and then install a custom recovery.
Sounds like you need to do some more reading and studying about how to successfully mod your IncS.

Also this is really impossible unless:
1. You have brick (which could be possible considering the fact that it seems you don't know what you are doing based on what I read)
2. You have no battery left (which could also be fully possible)
Like tpbklake suggested, I really do encourage you to read a bit more. Screwing these little things up really could lead to a dead phone.

Firmware update was a over the air update from verizon. Nothing out of the normal. And i haven't done anything to brick the phone. It just wont go into bios now. I didn't install anything just tried factory restore of bios menu.

If you got an ota from Verizon, then you have a droid inc 2 which has it's own forum. Although they are very similar, you cannot run the ROM on this forum.
Did you read my previous post about System Reset will disable you from getting into the boot loader screen? You need to disable FASTBOOT mode and then you should be able to get into the boot loader screen.
