[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] napsac:
Thanks in advance for your patient help. I've searched forums for answers, w/o finding what I need.

I've owned my DInc (amoled) since release day, and for most of that time, been running on Nils' Business Sense (froyo). I later switched to Synergy RLS1, and then to Nils Business GingerSense 3.5. Switching ROMs has always been smooth and easy every time to this point. After running Nils Business GingerSense 3.5 for a few days, I wanted to re-flash the ROM, since things were running a little slow.

After a nandroid backup, I followed the steps listed here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1267158): went into Recovery (CWM 5.0.2.0), factory reset, then format /system, then installed zip for stock gingerbread. After rebooting, the phone is stuck/frozen at the white 'htc incredible' screen. Since that point, I have been unable to get past the frozen white screen.

I have attempted to restore various nandroid backups, and tried installing a few different custom ROMs, also tried stock ROMs (2.1, 2.2, 2.3). Also tried flashing stock froyo through hboot flash, same result.

For any of these options, when loading the ROM or restoring the backup, it only takes a few seconds to complete (literally 5-10 seconds). I know this is very odd, since they normally are in the 150-300MB range. I believe it should take more like a few minutes, if not 5+ min to finish loading/restoring. This just isn't happening. Of course, before trying restore/new ROM I've done multiple wipes/factory reset, formatting all the options available in CWM recovery, etc.

At one point, I got what appeared to be the '5 vibs of death'. I definitely got 5 vibs, then black screen. But I haven't gotten that experience again.

Also at one point, I was able to connect via USB in the FASTBOOT USB mode, and could send adb commands to the phone. I did this in order to replace the nandroid.md5 in one of my nandroid backups, since recovery complained that the md5 mismatched (it didn't). Commands run in fastboot usb:

adb shell

# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/#date-of-backup#

# rm nandroid.md5

# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

This adb command worked, and the md5 checksum passed, but still frozen at white screen after reboot.

Current status:

-I am able to flash any version of radio or recovery I want successfully

-Current hboot is 0.92, radio is 2.15.00.07.28.

-I can't connect via adb in the fastboot usb mode anymore, but I CAN connect via adb in the recovery mode (CWM), and Windows7 recognizes when phone is connected with android driver.

-All attempts to restore a backup or load a ROM zip completes in 5-10secs reporting success, but when rebooting I'm frozen at the white 'htc incredible' screen. (I've waited for 20-30min multiple times, eventually the battery runs out, since it won't charge on this screen.)

-Attempts to hboot flash the stock froyo rom originally completed successfully (resulting in frozen white screen), but currently the update is frozen on step [4] system. It unzips, then takes 1min or so to update (upper-right bar completes), but then unzips again on step 4, and freezes at 95% thru the 'updating' state.

Let me know if add'l info is needed, I tried to provide everything as accurately as I could. Appreciate any help the Android community provide. Thanks!
