cause i have a fix for that i can PM you, but you its a flashable zip. So the problem with the sdcard slot not working.. you might have to look into how flashing things in fastboot. Which im not too savvy on.

I assume you're talking about the error 140 zip I pointed you towards recently, you should really put helpful links up in public threads so that others can find them and use them in the future. Here's the thread for whoever was asking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843544.

Can anybody point the way for a signed.zip for my HTC Incredible, is bricked (half bricked, I can boot into recovery and HBOOT am unrooted)
My problem is extremely complicated so if somebody could somehow help me by giving me a link of a signed update.zip I can apply in recovery and I could somehow downgrade my radio from 2.15 to any, I would deeply appreciated.
Thanks

you can only change your radio through HBOOT.. must be rooted.. needs to be renamed to PB31IMG.zip and SD card needs to be formatted to FAT32 to flash anything through HBOOT
you might want to fully unroot your phone and re-root it using doug pistons RUU http://dougpiston.com/
also please post questions in the Q&A forum for the droid incredible youll get more help over there then here... with the people on here now-a-days all theyll do is run their mouth to you since you made a simple mistake posting in the development section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=744 Q&A
Why don't you download a pb31img.zip with the radio you want? I think most are already packaged that way, flashable in hboot.
Or, maybe I missunderstood.

I believe my phone is already fully unrooted. Like i said my phone is a bit complicated right now its bricked but then i am also able to use it as i am right now. Dont ask me how i Dont know either. I cant plug it in the pc because it is unrecognizable, and i found a fix for the usb but the guide asks that i need to be rooted and that should fix the 5 vibrations etc etc...
But then again am i still rooted? I mean i never unrooted my phone... Could it ve possible in still rooted with s-on? And how can i be sure?

no your going to have to run unrevoked "FOREVER" first youll need to unroot back to stock and re root.. i dont know if you can run unrevoked forever over what you have but to be safe i would just re root.. but to flash anything you do need to be s-off

When I sent my old Inc back I had to do this...
- Flash the stock radio...
- Use the unrevoked.zip to flash S-On
- Then install RUU.
It worked fine...you will be able to RUU.
Edit: Also you can download these files and transfer them between a SD card reader from your computer if you cannot use the usb cord to go direct.
Unless I am missing something here...the OP isnt really clear with his 'situation'
Im not sure if I understand the issue here but why dont you download the froyo update zip file and place it on the sdcard and boot in Hboot and downgrade to stock and than just root your phone with unrevoke...??
I fixed it using this guide. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14440621.
Thank goodness, I'm lucky the resolution to my bricked phone was out last month.
I did have to root, and i rooted using some application there temporary and it worked. That was a life saver .
Now I just have to fix the meid since it says is unavailable.
And sorry I put in the wrong forum, I just thought it would go under Android Dev because it involved fixing a Android Os bug in the Froyo 2.2 leaked update.
Well now I have my phone rooted with 2.2 S-off and recognizing sd card and being recognized by the computer

I could not have done that because my phone was not being recognized by the computer thus it was vibrating five times upon start with a black screen (that was the hardware error) but is all good now thanks to this guide. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14440621

Just a friendly word of advice. The development section is a place for devs to post their work such as ROMS and Kernels. The Q&A section is where you post for answers to problems. And work arounds, like your other post in here, would fit more into General. Eventually if you keep posting non development things in this forum someone will start flaming you and then things can get ugly. The moderators will eventually move these to the correct forums but I'm just giving you a heads up some people can get rather po'ed at the smallest infraction. Others don't care and will try and help you out regardless as you have seen.

Haven't messed with a hero in a long time, but since you can get into h-boot, try to find a HERCIMG.zip of either the recovery or a full rom. (I see you now have an Evo, so HERCIMG.zip is just the Hero version of the PC36IMG for the Evo). Since the hero is pretty easy to root, I would suggest the entire rom to start fresh. If you are not familiar with HERCIMG.zip, put it on the root of your sd card and boot to hboot. It should then prompt you for the update.

If you are using a full rom image, you will need to re-root. Just use the one-click root for the Hero. But yes after you flash the image, I would boot just to make sure you are now good.
If just use a recovery img then try to boot into recovery and flash a very basic, maybe stock like rom.
i downloaded a HERCIMG.zip and hboot wont recognize it.... i think its because i have the latest hboot and radio already installed so i dont know what to do now... i've done hard reset, clear storage and i still can only get the white htc start screen and it stays there for hours until the battery dies i've done a hard reset and now my phone says s-on so somewhere in the process of trying to fix this i've lost my s-off.... i have no idea what to do :'(

Try Fastbooting... if you Plug it into your Computer and press Volume Up (I believe?) You Should be able to get into Fastboot and Hopefully Fix your Problem!

Reflash darchs eng-spl to enable fast boot commands. It will give you s-off again. If you can't find it let me know. Also I'd recommended flashing it with ra1.6,1.7 or cwm2.5. After you flash the s-off zip your phone should flash the hercimg.zip
Locked & Loaded

What did u name the zip file?
... it's been a common mistake with this process that people actually name "hercimg.zip", which now becomes "hercimg.zip.zip"
But u have to name it just "hercimg" since it's already a zip file.
Its just a thought ... and plz excuse me for questioning u if u did it correctly and it truly did not work.
Good luck and take care

Hey guys I'm new to androids and made a stupid mistake flashing a rom I shouldn't have and now my phone won't boot, it just keeps looping to HTC screen, I'm able to get to the bootloader but I haven't been able to find anything on how I recover the phone back to it's default rom. Can someone please help out, I'm without a phone until this gets fixed.
Did you make a nandroid before flashing the rom?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
No, I don't believe so
Well if you are able to get into bootloader that should mean you can get to recovery?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Yeah I can get to the bootloader and recovery is there but that doesn't seem to work. I tried to install the rom for the rogers raider found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338919 , but that program errors out and the error code seems to suggest its the wrong rom.
I'm new to this and don't know what to do
I would say try running the ruu that bananacakes posted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337036
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Thanks I'll try that out, takes forever to download. Just to make sure, I should be connecting the phone through fastboot and then running the program? I wanna make sure I'm doing things the right way.
So that other link you sent me doesn't work just errors right away saying its the wrong rom. I tried the rogers one again and it errors out again, when I unplug the usb from the phone the screen on the phone reads
RUU
Security fail!
Update fail!
And then I saw that it looks like I don't have a full root as it says S-ON.
Could this be the problem because I don't have full permission. What can I do, I feel like I'm stuck in limbo here. If this is the issue would I be able get S-OFF in the state the phones is in and if not is there another work around to restore the phone?
Are you running the ruu on your computer? Because its not meant to be flashed thru recovery.

ok. we need to recap everything in pretty good detail to see what we can try next.
what recovery did you initially flash on your phone?
what rom did you try to flash?
you now have the correct recovery on your phone?
RUUs all fail with what error exactly?
Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the rom, I'm pretty sure it was for HTC Evo from rom manager.
I had put that CWM recovery 5.0.2.7 from bananacakes that's used to root the phone, but it's now back to the original after I flashed the file you game me. But I originally rooted my phone with that one click method found here http://androidcommunity.com/htc-amaze-4g-gets-permanent-one-click-root-20111020/
I've tried every RUU except the Cingular file and they've all had the same Error 155, saying that it's the wrong rom.

wow. so you flashed a CDMA rom on your GSM phone.....can you please try to remember the name of the rom so we can find out what all it changed?
from everything i am reading, you need a goldcard and that PH39IMG.zip file i gave you
do you think you could make a gold card? do you have a spare phone and an sdcard?
http://android.modaco.com/topic/305672-creating-a-goldcard/
If I could see a list of them maybe I could remember which one but without that no. I Have an iphone 3g and an sd card but that wont help heh
I could possibly get a friend to make me a gold card with his phone, what would the process be after making a gold card?
Hey PG I finally was able to make a Gold card, so I don't want to do anything wrong here. Am I putting that image you gave me on the gold card or am I using fastboot with the gold card in?

either way should work
I tried both and the same errors seem to come up. When I put it on the gold card it tried loading it, but it error'd out just like before and I get the same error when trying to flash it using fastboot.
i am running out of ideas here.
you can unzip that zip file, and manually flash most of that on your phone through fastboot, but i dont know if its going to matter.
when you boot to hboot/fastboot, can you verify the version information at the top of the white screen?
Hi!
Here is my problem : my internal storage is gone. I mean, not accessible by any means. External SD Card is still detected but not the internal storage. When in recovery (TWRP) and I try to mount internal storage, it gives me the error "unable to mount /emmc bad parameter" or something like that.
I've looked around on the internet for ways to fix this and, in fact, I found some, but I still need an information.
Could anyone check within their devices partition table to indicate me which one is supposed to be the one that contains the /emmc partition? Also if someone could be nice enough to help me fixing my problem, I'd be forever grateful ^^.
I have a slightly-above-average Linux knowledge, I am a student in programming (C# actually) and I also have an Android SDK setup so command line does not scare me .
Thank you to whoever will help
