[Q] S-Off Incredible S Stuck in the white screen with htc logo

Hi there,
I hope somebody can help me with this.
I have a htc IS S-off, rooted and running with a custom ROM (the mike1986 ROM, which is incredible!!).
Yesterday, my kid took my phone and start "playing" with it and when I´ve realized it, it was to late... He had entered into the recovery (Clockworkmod v3.0.2.6) and deleted some important/ sensitive data (i guess).
The situation is that, now, the phone doesn´t start working. It just stucks in the white screen with the HTC logo.I´m able to enter into the Hboot and, which is more strange, into the Clockworkmod recovery but when I reboot the system it just doesn´t start.
I´ve tried to reflash that ROM and other ROMS, but the result is always the same (Which gives me to the conclusion, speaking from my absolutely ignorance, that it shoudn´t be a ROM problem...).
I´ve also tried to make a "Factory reset", but the result is the same.
Important: When I enter into the recovery, it appears different lines of tex2t informing that: "E: can´t mount cache/ recovery/ command, log & last log. I´ve also browsed in the "advance" options of the recovery, and the system appears always unmount, and it doesn´t allow me to mount it (I don´t know if this is important or not).
Does somebody have an idea about how to fix this problem?
I would really appreciate if somebody could help me with it.
Thank you in advance!

Go to the mounts and storage menu ... format everything except your sdcard and flash mike's rom again ... see if it pops out an error ... should be fixed now ... temme if the recovery says anything wierd ...

If things dont work out ... here is a last hope-
*take the rom.zip from a RUU
*rename it to PG32DIAG.zip
*mount your sdcard to your pc in CWM recovery from the mounts and storage menu
*paste the zip unto your sdcards root folder
*reboot into bootloader and it will ask you if you want to update ...this will revert to stock and you can start the whole rooting process etc again
Also if you are alpharevx soff ... you will need a goldcard ... but not if your are xtc soff

You cannot install CWM without S-OFF. What else have you done to get your phone in the state it is in.

I have a dincs in the same state. It's stuck in a boot loop and won't do anything. Spent 20 hours trying to fix it and still no luck
--------------------------
On a side note. If he can not do anything with his phone being s-on could he not just wait till later this month and s-off through HTC since that will be an available service very soon?

Ok what have you done to the phone to get it into this state? Have you gained S-Off? Are you trying to install ClockworkMod? More info please!

I believe I tried a custom Rom and did something wrong. Radio or something. No access to recovery and lost s off

Ok thanks. Since you have a Bell Mobile IncS, have you tried flashing the official BM GB RUU? That should at least get your phone going and usable.

Sorry for the late reply. I was away camping. Excellent. I will try it out and see what happens. I'll post results tonight

I actually ran the exe without extracting the Rom.zip and it worked perfectly.

I did that, same issue though. It does say unlocked s of now.

Make sure it is indeed unlocked. If it were me, I'd try reflashing that phone to complete stock and start from the beginning. I carelessly flashed the wrong kernal the other day and my only way out was going back to the beginning and it still took me 2-3 hours to get it back to working.

Follow all those steps to the letter and in order. You're gonna be wiping your phone too, try to get any data off you need first.

I ran into the exact same problem tonight that the OP was having. I followed that advice and when i run the command "fastboot oem lock", it tells me "....INFODevice was already locked!"
I know for a fact this device is unlocked and as I'm looking at hboot right now, I'm S-Off too. Now I have done this a couple of times trying to fix the problem, but even when I reboot to prepare to install the stock RUU, I still get the same white HTC Boot screen that just keeps trying to load but doesn't do anything else. I need some real help here....or maybe I've completely bricked this thing!
Thanks

Can you get into hboot ?

It won't boot to recovery so I can re-flash my back up rom though. I've tried going into fastboot and locking then unlocking then locking bootloader again and trying to boot regular or into recovery. Nothing works.

I've had that same problem and after hours of searching for an answer I found it and its so easy...Go into fastboot and enter this command..."fastboot erase cache" and then you can get into recovery again

That may work. Or you can try to reflash custom recovery. It sounds like somewhere in jd's process he managed to get stock recovery reinstalled (red triangle with an exlamation point?). If so, you can just use the tool to flash recovery, or grab the recovery.img and fasboot flash it "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img". Then you'll be able to get back to recovery and flash a backup, or a new ROM

If you flashed the jb_hboot.zip after s-off'ing it would say "JuopunutBear" up top and everything would be fine..

Try holding down the power and volume down buttons while holding the proximity sensor under a bright light. This should get you to the bootloader

thank you for replying so fast yes i can get to bootloader however not into recovery

In bootloader, 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' - make sure the recovery.img you are flashing is in the same folder as where you are running the commands from and also make sure the filename is correct. The All in one kit makes this very easy

[q] hard bricked !!!! S.o.s!!

Hi guys, i was trying to unlock my bootloader, i succesfully got it unlocked, i tried flashing the viper 2.7 rom on it and it didnt work, when i went back into recovery i did a hard reset but somehow i ended up deleting all of the Os's from my phone, i even got the message saying "No OS installed". To make matters worse it also relocked my bootloader, and i cant flash back into recovery. When i powerdown and turn the phone back on im stuck in the same screen in the bootloader, no matter what option i select to try to reboot or flach recovery im kicked back into the bootloader screen with three flags at the top ****Tampered**** ****relocked**** and ****Security Warning*****, I have no idea what to try anymore.

Interesting.. it's not hard bricked though...

Unlock the bootloader again using hasoon2000 's all-in-one-toolkit and reflash recovery. After reflashing recovery (TWRP), find the ADB Sideload option, and use it to sideload a rom from your computer to the phone.

[Q] Razr I stuck in a boot loop (Not the static red logo)

Hi,
My Razr I got stuck at the Red boot animation a few days ago. Its the animation of the red logo and intel logo and not the static M logo that comes at the start.
In detail, the phone shows the M animation where the waves are shown, sometimes it even shows the the intel animation and then returns to the animated M logo (Please note that it does not reboot and the static red logo does not appear). The phone keeps on doing this until I turn off the phone using the fastboot menu. Sometimes the phone passes the boot animation and turns on for about a couple of minutes until it starts happening again.
The phone has a locked boot-loader and is unrooted. Its on Stock 4.1.2 unrooted rom. Previously the phone used to have the problem of being stuck at the static M logo but @skupi20 found a workaround which was to use RSD lite and the stock rom and flash the system_signed file by editing the xml file. This used to fix the problem whenever it occurred. but flashing system_signed does not fix this problem. I have even tried flashing everything except for the erase_userdata phrase(I do not want to lose the data). The link to the previous problem's solution is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2420032
I think the problem is not in the system files anymore thats why flashing it does not work. And as the phone does work sometimes it means something is causing the system to be stuck at the animation most of the time.
I would also like to mention that the phone has also booted to safemode a few times but it kept on saying Homescreen has stopped working so I couldn't do anything. I tried opening the settings and it said Sattings stopped working and closed it too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I would be really thankful. Ihave tried to explain everything in detail but ask me if there is any other question.

Can anybody maybe help me understand what each of the partitions are for in the stock rom's xml file. Or maybe direct me to another thread where it is already explained. Thanks.

Since nobody said anything. I erased userdata(So had to lose all data) as well and it works fine now. I flashed a complete stock version of the Rom.

Was on vacation, so i would not reply to it. But the userdata erase was the only solution

Okay then you can take a pass since you were on vacation.
