Well I guess my concern is not being able to easily get into recovery. I get the 5 Vibrations when I try to get in there normally.

I got lucky and was able to do a recovery once. I'd feel more confident if I could boot to recovery, which I can't do. I don't want to put myself into a bigger hole than I am in now.

I guess I'll suck it up and do it but just not tonight. Perhaps tomorrow. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

So I tried the commands again, which is something I'm not sure I had done since I recovered the image and they worked.

When I rebooted, I got the 5 Vibrations again. I then went into HBOOT again and it saw my radio file. I remember reading somewhere that this sometimes fixes the problem as well. I flashed the radio file and then rebooted into recovery without any issues. After that I rebooted an made it into my ROM without any issues.

I think I'm ok now. What a cluster! That's the first time I've ever had a problem like this as a result of flashing a ROM.

Thanks for the help.

Here's my problem.

I have no root, I have no SD card, I have no mounted emmc storage, I have no USB. I do however, have S-ON.

I first got the 5 buzzes and couldn't do anything. Couldn't get to recovery, couldn't boot the ROM. Should've probably looked into it further, but decided to do a factory PB31IMG reset. Basically unrooted myself and set the phone back to factory standards. Now I'm in a bind.

I can't fix the SD card because I don't have USB. I can't get USB because I have no root. I can't get root because I have neither USB or SD card.

I'm stumped. I've been trying to find a way to use z4root, but since it's off the market I can't even install it. I can't DL it via browser because it needs an SD card to save it to. I can't sideload it because I have no USB.
[Droid Incredible General] goblue13579:
Did you follow the instructions for using fastboot, not adb, in hboot? That should get you sd card functionality back.
[Droid Incredible General] BonzTM:
SD Card Fix

Press & hold vol down and power on the phone

Select fastboot by pressing the power button

ADB commands

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot reboot

That should fix your SD card not being detected.

_________

These are the steps that I followed.

When I come to the step that indicates I need to use adb to send commands to the phone, I have a problem. It shows that there are no devices connected.

According to the Device Manager my device is connected with the right driver.

adb devices yields that no device is connected.

______

Edit: Didn't have the program 'fastboot'. Downloading and installing now to give it a try.

Nowhere in any of the instructions was I aware that this was an entirely separate program that needed to be added to the SDK.

Will reply later with results =x
[Droid Incredible General] goblue13579:
Calling them "ADB commands" is a bit of a misnomer. As I state in my instructions: "Fastboot is in the tools folder of the android sdk, not platform-tools like adb." This means that to execute the commands you must "cd" to the tools folder of the android sdk in command prompt. A "dir" command should list fastboot as one of the items in the folder. Then, type out the commands exactly like this (one at a time obviously):

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot reboot

Note that there is no adb command issued at all, only fastboot. Adb will not work until you finish all of the steps. They are distinct (although very closely related) pieces of software. Does this make it clearer?
[Droid Incredible General] BonzTM:
Yes, I appreciate the help a lot.

As I edited in my last post, fastboot is not present in the SDK. I had to download it manually. In the process of doing it now. Will report back in a few

Edit: Back up and running. Thanks a lot for the guide and the help =D
[Droid Incredible General] goblue13579:
Glad to hear it, I'll add more explanation of what fastboot is to the guide. I don't believe I had to download it separately which is why I didn't have that in there.

5 vibs of death with out root

I have a droid incredible that used to have this problem. I flashed back to stock, rooted,followed the guide and everything seems to be back in order. There is one thing that seems to be off. The phone is fully functional but it sometimes will randomly go into the 5 vibs of death. A battery pull usually fixes this. Sometimes it takes days before this happens.

I have found one commonality to this and I think it is the phone's battery. Shortly after this problem occurred, I installed cm7.1.0 and turned down the processor speed to 614MHz and put the governer on ONDEMAND. This almost seemed to fix the 5 vibs. Now it only 5 vibs if I'm using an app that causes the phone to heat up a little (like a game)

I then went to my friend who I purchased this from (she had never rooted the device). She told me that the phone had occasionally rebooted on her before while using google navigation. She said it just rebooted not 5 vibs.

I was thinking a new battery would possibly fix it? I really wish I new what the 5 vibs actually meant.
[Droid Incredible General] goblue13579:
This sounds like a hardware issue to do with overheating, as google nav heats up the device a lot too. The 5 vibrate mode is (as best I can tell) a hardware management interface, because it shows up as a Qualcomm device in windows when connected in this mode. There are no openly available tools to use it to my knowledge though. This would lead me to believe that a new battery would make no difference, but it's a much cheaper fix than anything else so I might try it after the below idea.

One thing you could try is get a phone monitoring app to keep track of what happens when it reboots, I know there are apps like this marketed as battery monitors. You could use this to see if there is a voltage or temperature association with it.

Hope this helps!

i had a problem with my mom's phone(Desire HD) where the screen would just fade away after a failed root... fortunately got it back to stock by flashing PD38IMG but it's interesting to see this. what caused it?
[Droid Incredible General] goblue13579:
My problem was caused by trying to set up a quad rom system on my internal storage, but others have said it was just on a rom flash or nandroid restore. It must just be a few misplaced bits here and there that bork the system.

Re: Desire HD, I'm afraid I have absolutely no experience with that device as I'm in the US. Since it's from the generation after the incredible, I can't make any promises about the usefulness of the methods in this guide. Did you try to root it after restoring it to stock?
[Droid Incredible General] Scotte.dont:
Thanks for the input.

I did buy a new (OEM) htc battery and it did NOT fix the problem.

What program should I use to monitor the phone? I would like one that will preferable make a log I can post after this problem happens again.

Hey all, ran into this issue for the 2nd time, but now cannot run the terminal commands. Phone is now S-ON (prev had S-OFF) and I get a [1] Segmentation Error when running the final command. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, I didn't see this thread when it happened to me. I had a broken screen, so I couldn't get a replacement until I fixed it. So I finally fixed the screen, but my void stickers got thrown out, so I had to wait another month (2 months total now) to get some more shipped. Finally got it and had it successfully replaced. I was super paranoid about Verizons new policy for returns, but all went well and I have a refurb right now...

Here's my story with the 5 vibes of death :

- Rooted & S-off

- SDcard (FAT32) is accessible

- USB still works

- downloaded the "deathfix" (flash_image & mtd-eng.img), ran the command from Terminal Emulator

- upon rebooting, it's always getting the 5 vibes

- it's also always getting the 5 vibes everytime I go to recovery menu from Hboot/Clockwork

any ideas??
[Droid Incredible General] :
I experienced this a few weeks ago after flashing CM9 alpha. I did the terminal commands and they weren't working, but then I flashed back to CM7 and ran them there, and upon reboot it worked fine and was back to S-OFF. I did have to unlock my boot loader again, but I already had the key and did that right after fixing it anyway.

The guide I used is HERE.

@newmachine, when you go into hboot is it still S-OFF? And what ROM are you using to run the terminal commands in?
[Droid Incredible General] newmachine:
Yes, it's still S-off, I'm on stock Gingerbread.

I was using the same guide from that link you posted.
[Droid Incredible General] clambert11:
I'm sure this is what you did but I've fixed this problem a few times. After the second time I just threw my steps into Evernote. This is what I have (taken from here so it's probably what you did).

1) Enter HBOOT and go into FASTBOOT

2) With the phone connected to a PC that runs adb, type in fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

3) That should give you access to the SD Card, so boot into Recovery and restore a backup before the problem occurred

4) Unplug the PC and reboot. When the splash screen comes up, quickly plug the phone into the PC

5) Open Connectbot and type in the following commands after the phone boots:

su

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

cat /sdcard/mtd-eng.img > /data/mtd-eng.img

chmod 755 /data/flash_image

/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd-eng.img

reboot

6) If the phone still is vibrating, remove & install the battery one last time
[Droid Incredible General] Hand76:
So what cause this? I think this happened to me once and I think doing a battery pull let me get back into recovery and reload another rom which fixed it.
[Droid Incredible General] BlindDude:
I have tried and tried this and it doesn't work for me

I have access to the sd card but I did the adb thing anyway.

I typed all that stuff into terminal emulator and rebooted. Still 5 vibrates.

I have installed 3 different roms, and did the terminal thing but still 5 vibrates.

The only thing consistent is, when the phone has the battery removed long enough for everything to cool down a little, the phone works. But as soon as I get it booted and browse/install apps and mess around with it, it gets a little warm(not hot at all) and shuts off and vibrates 5 times.

I am glad this method worked for alot of people but it does NOT work for me.

I am about to throw this phone down on the concrete as hard as I can.

Oh, and I flashed another radio too(saw that somewhere), nothing fixes this phone
[Droid Incredible General] newmachine:
That's exactly the same as mine.

And that's exactly how I feel.....
[Droid Incredible General] tylerwagler:
I may need some assistance with this.

I can get to HBOOT and FASTBOOT but enabling the SDCARD commands results in <Waiting for device> .

Regularly booting the phone just results in a bootloop. Selecting recovery immediatly reboots.

Putting the PB31IMG on the SDCARD and booting into HBOOT results in the phone not recognizing the zip.

I'm stuck.

The latest RUU went through all steps and completed, but i'm still in a boot loop.
[Droid Incredible General] aceajoy:
evo 4g

so i've looked EVERYWHERE for a solution like this, here is my problem,

my phone is also doing the 5 vibrate and black screen thing,

i can actually get it to reboot if i wait a while after it does it tho, i can also get into recovery, usb works fine, and sd card reads perfectly,

here's where it gets tricky,

I'm on an evo 4g, but same exact problem, i wanted to try the terminal emulator part with the death fix zip to see if that would fix my problem, but i wanted to ask first if i could use the same zip since it's a different phone, if not, is there any way you could make one for the evo 4g? since this is the ONE and ONLY solution i've found for this problem, everyone else has just given up on it, and unfortunately i'm way out of my warranty, i even called htc and played the douche bag character to see if i could get them to replace it, but they said i'm too far off my warranty already. thanks in advance

(oh and in case it matters, i've flashed stock ruu's, changed roms, and now i'm back to stock rom) and it does it rooted and unrooted

Problem

Hi everyone,

I have been working on my coworkers HTC EVO 4G for the past few days, trying to get it to work again since it is doing the 5 Vibs of Death. I have been working on Android phones for the past few years with no problem. Her phone was in the state were nothing would happen even when fully charged so I took is apart and cleaned the systems boards and cleared the system by disconnecting the system battery. After waiting awhile I connected it back and put it together again. Now it turns on and I can load into the Bootloader and Fastboot. Problem is the I can't load into Recovery form there and sd card does not load. The USB is also not working I have read and done everything that is in all the online documentation with all the needed files and nothing does the trick. I have noticed that now when I try to run Recovery it tries to load PB31IMG.zip and fails. So I have tries everything to load the file on and to no avail, so the only command that is let to try is a "fastboot update PB31IMG.zip" problem is it needs certain file in the zip to run. So does anyone know of a file that has boot.sig, recvoery.img,system.img, android-info.txt, and android-products.txt in it? :confused: I'm currently downloading a stock ROM to see if that will work, (note did not work either), but if anyone has info that could help let me know.

[Droid Incredible General] thesourgin:
My original INC died of this just before it's warranty period was up. Got a replacement that eventually started doing the same thing.

It seemed like it was overheating and would start working again if I left the battery our for an hour or two. I retired it for a Galaxy S3 last year, but recently gave the INC to my son to listen to music and play games.

Tried replacing the battery, reverting to stock RUU, performed SD Card and USB fix, but no use. The SD card and USB work fine, but the phone still randomly reboots, gets stuck in a bootloop, then I get the five vibes. It will work again after an hour or two, but it inevitably happens again.

The INC was great when it worked, and it got me into rooting and modding, but I guess the hardware just wasn't made to last. RIP.
[Droid Incredible General] zimlokks:
i would ask if yu were able to donate it for development? i kno u said it might be hardware related but maybe its not and if we the inc community fix it we will gladly return it :) that's if u have it just laying around unused

Hey guys I have a hd2 that wont boot up anymore. I have installed several windows 6.5 cooked roms into this device for a while now. Recently this device has been given me a lot of problems until finally it took a dump. Now everytime i power up the device it stays in the splash screen. It doesnt even show radio version, rom version,etc on the bottom left of the screen. So is this hd2 dead or is there some way that i can fix it. I even tried installing tmobile's official rom on this device by going into the "rainbow screen" so that the device can be seen by using the usb cable, but alas....it didnt work either. So any help would be appreciated :).
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
If it doesn't install, and nothing installs, then you need to take it to repair I guess.
[HD2 General] frequency1:
I had a feeling about that. I just figured there was no way to fix it and the fact that i couldnt send it back to tmobile to get a replacement was out of the question since the firmware was modified. But your saying there are shops that fix these kinds of issues? If so, I better start looking around over here.
[HD2 General] siddharth singh:
why dont you try sd card method for flashing your rom :D!1! you can pm me if you need further help :P
[HD2 General] thehumble1:
Do you mean that it can't get to the boot loader screen (rainbow) or that trying to install a ROM from there didn't work? You might want to flash the original HSPL too, just to check.
[HD2 General] frequency1:
What I mean is that everytime I boot up the hd2 it stays stuck on the splash screen. It doesn't even show the rom information in red at the bottom left corner of the screen. But I can boot to the tri color menu though. I have tried to install the tmous official rom by plugging the USB when I'm in the tri color menu and it always stays stuck at 9%. So is there way to fix this or am I screwed.
[HD2 General] lukesan:
Try the sd-card recovery instead of the USB one.

http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/01/how-to-upgrade-htc-hd2-rom-through-sd-card-video/

After that, even if it fails, it shows only SPL in the tri-color screen then you are set to claim warranty.
[HD2 General] ubejd:
Well my bro... i think thats nand problems or heating issues ... does flashing rom goes all ok or it stops during flashing ? if stops than check if you phone is hot - hotter than normal.

Try this : Take out battery, memory card, sim card and put you phone in the fridge for about 5-10 min ( dont worry tried many times... no harm ) meanwhile prepare your sd card to flash rom with sd card method ... to do that extract Ruu rom - stock one - download with hd2 serial nr ( winrar, 7zip etc) find Ruu_Signed.nbh rename it to LEOIMG.nbh than copy to sd card ( format you sd card fat32 and make sure it works ... 2gb will work ) take phone out from fridge put sd card & battery into phone power one phone while holding volume down key ( go into tricolor screen - bootloader) and follow procedure in phone... i hope everything goes well and you fix you phone... but if still no success than flash android or wp7 ( if you have warranty flash stock SPL and return phone).

best regards from me :D

Hello everyone!

I'm new here and purchased a wifi Xoom a month ago and I love it.

Recently though while using the Facebook app and Plants and Zombies they seem to be doing things automatically.

In Facebook while in the chat section it keeps going back to the main menu on its own.

In Plants vs Zombies the game keeps pausing itself every couple of minutes.

So far these are the only 2 apps that's I have found do these things. Could this be a software issue? I hope so as that could be fixed through a update.
