We're getting somewhere.

What happens if you just fastboot flash zip? and flash the zip like the command above without rebooting to oem ruu or any of that?

Will it still hang?

If none of that works we may try re flashing the recovery manually and we may be able to force a "fastboot reboot-recovery"

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

Right, i'm curious to know if its a problem with either the drivers on the actual computer or something with the phone. We're aiming towards the phone being the problem but at the same time i've seen some computers do weird things with drivers. That's why I suggested to know where you lived because if someone has a setup that they know has flashed their inc 2 without any issues we could probably try from there.

Last but not least, i've also seen some cables be the culprit. It's very unlikely but the chance is still there. Have a different cable you can try just in case??
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JMac024:
Thought about the cable. I can push stuff to my Gnex fine on it.

Ok. So when I try to flash the zip I get an error of cannot determine image filename on the netboot....so I downloaded and ran on the mac and get the same error
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
It sounds like it's a bad/corrupted flash on the phone. It doesn't recognize the img at all.

I wonder if we can try re flashing the hboot since you're already s-off. Let me get some stuff together and i'll give you instructions on how to reflash the hboot from fastboot.

Are you using the inc 2 cable to push stuff to the gnex as well? or vice versa??

Lets try a different cable, also maybe we can try wiping the nexus drivers off the machine completely and re setup the inc 2 drivers only on your system to see if that makes a difference. troubleshooting is a pita but it's the only way to be sure we're not overlooking anything.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JMac024:
I use the same cable for both phones. I will grab a diff cable....Which system would you like to use to troubleshoot? The Windows system I did wipe all the Gnex stuff off of. Mac never had any on it. Troubleshooting is a PITA but it can be fun at the same time. And I am learning more and more about ADB now. Used to not use it much.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JMac024:
I am heading to work in about an hour. May have to pick it up tomorrow, or I will do what you come up with tonight. Thanks again for the help and time. I know what a PITA that can be!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Number R09:
just a thought, could it be a bad USB socket on the phone that's causing the trouble?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cowboyv:
Same Problem

This happened to me yesterday; my phone told me I had some updates from the market, and it froze mid-updating an app (don't remember which one).

I pulled the battery and the phone went directly into recovery, and it has stayed there ever since.

I tried everything, wiping the cache, the boot, dalvik, EVERYTHING. I even did the factory reset/data wipe, and in the end it tells me the same thing:

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Is there something that I overlooked? My phone isn't even able to be "seen" by my computer, the only way I can turn it off is by doing a battery pull, and when I put the battery back in, it goes straight into CWMod's recovery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
You don't have the same problem that JMac has, re flash your ROM since you're in recovery. otherwise restore a nandroid backup and that'll get you up and running again.

JMac, i'm getting the instructions together so we can try re flashing the stock hboot. We can try re flashing the stock RUU from there and if it works all you need to do is run revolutionary again to re root and gain s off again.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JMac024:
Good deal. If I cant just get the RUU to take I am golden.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
Alright, doing some research on this JMac, some people are pointing to a faulty eMMC chip. If that thing gets fried then the phone is as good as a paper weight until it gets replaced.

Lets try to re flash the hboot.

All those tools you downloaded should have the

RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.605.3_Radio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_199487_signed.zip

inside, Unzip it to it's own folder and there should be a hboot_0.97.0000_21273.nb0

copy that to the folder you're running fastboot out of.

fastboot flash hboot_0.97.0000_21273.nb0

Let me know what that does. From there you may have to fastboot reboot bootloader again and you then should be on the older hboot. You should be able to then

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash zip RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.605.3_Ra dio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_199487_signed. zip

fastboot reboot

if that works, you're back to stock. Run Revolutionary again. Profit.

Let me know
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JMac024:
I have read about the eMMC chip as well. Just was hoping.

Ok. Getting a unknown partition hboot_0.97.0000_21273.nb0

error cannot determine image file name for hboot...... do i need to specify a partition?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
Sorry, i'm a moron.

The command should be

fastboot flash hboot hboot_0.97.0000_21273.nb0

You can also try using this tool.

Ungodly bad day at work. Everything that could go wrong did tonight. As well as the Gnex I guess. I never got a Gmail update because it was FCing UGH Anyway. Figured you had replied so I ran that command. Although it didn't work....there is some life. I got this error in command prompt..... sending hboot...okay writing hboot...INFOimage update is bypassed.....so I was bummed BUT the phone actually says can not roll back hboot version. So at least there is life there....I will try the tool in the am. Vodka has me sleeeepy.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
Can you copy paste the exact error message?

This should be able to tell us whether or not the eMMC is able to be written to or not.

I'm hoping this will all work for you, I know it's frustrating not having a working phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JMac024:
Ok. So that was the message it spit last night. Today is different. Error: cannot load 'hboot_097.0000_21273.nb0

On the phone it says cannot roll back hboot version
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bcross12:
I am having the same issue. Does anyone have the newest stock hboot image? Google doesn't want to give it to me. I am trying to get it back to stock because from everything I've read my eMMC is fried. In lieu of the lastest hboot, does anyone know how to brick a device so I can get it replaced?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JMac024:
Well. I guess this beast is a paper weight....oh well.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daddyhawk:
*sigh* I kept reading through this thread praying someone had good news...sadly...nope. My dinc2 has this problem as well. I tried all day wednesday to fix it, but no go. I also saw that most of the time people said it was a fried emmc chip and that alot of dinc2 and some other phones had them put in. Saying htc went cheap on those phones. Also they said that pulling the battery could be the culprit. Regardless, we're stuck. Hboot won't load any img file i throw at it. Can't adb a RUU. Won't do anything except freeze with any selection in recovery (wipe, nand, reflash). I can get the computer to recognize it. If i use the "usb mount" in recovery, shouldnt i be able to see the emmc card in "my computer?" All i see the the sd card. The reason i ask is with my old dinc1 i could see both on the computer. I'm trying real hard no to lose hope with this phone. It's trying so hard to boot up but something gets it stuck. If we can get hboot and recovery i would think it couldnt be completely fried...right?

Hi

I have tried downloading the version from the LG website but it just times out so I don't think it's there any more.

I downloaded one from the forums but it was corrupt and KDZ kept crashing or not unpacking. Please could someone let me have a clean GB to download asap (with baseband please)

Thanks all

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chronicrebellion:
I'm on T-Mobiles 1000 minute Value plan with 5GB Data.

I've been trying to set up Google Voice with the phone but I keep getting errors:

Forwarding Number Change Failed.

It will try to set the Voicemail Carrier but seems like it fails and tries to revert settings in which it just hangs there till I reboot.

I can manually set all the forwarding and even the voicemail number.

After a reboot the voicemail number will revert to T-mo's original number even if the carrier in the settings says Google Voice or My Carrier (after changing the VM#)

I want the number to actually stick after reboot so I can use the voicemail button on the dialer to call Google Voice and not TMO.

Has anyone set up Google Voice without any errors?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jsammons:
When you setup Google voice it will say failed on first attempt. Reboot the go to calling under settings, and goto voicemail service and select Google voice. At this point it will ask you if you want to change your voicemail carrier. Then it will force close. Once this happens the new voicemail change will stay. It was that way on the droidx as well.

Hope this helps.

how do i relock my bootloader on my amaze 4g:confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
did you try:

fastboot oem lock

command?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Throatchopper:
Bootloader "Relocked"

I need to send Amaze in for warranty replacement, but bootloader shows as "Relocked." Do any of the legendary android dev heroes know if its possible to restore the Amaze bootloader to show "Locked" as it originally did. Not sure if the relocked status will void the warranty.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Not without s=off... The testers of s=off script I think are able to, but ours (s=on) will say "relocked."

Your warranty is probably still good... As long as it was a hardware issue... And if its a software issue, that can probably be fixed w/o sending it in :D

[HTC Amaze 4G] Throatchopper:
Thanks... I believe its a hardware issue. It was running fine on senseless rom, then all of a sudden it began overheating when charging, and the phone would just continually reboot until the battery was completely drained. It showed battery health was poor so I replaced the battery, but the problem persisted. The phone overheats when charging, and just keeps loading all the way to the home screen, then it auto reboots after less than a minute. I reverted everything back to stock to see if that fixed the problem, but it still does the same thing. T-mobile tech support said the prob sounds hardware related. Has anyone heard of software causing these problems? As far as I can find through searching s-off is still a no go for the average "instruction follower" like me. I dont wan t to jump into trying s-off when its still in the r&d stages and destroy an already limping device. thanks for all the help. There are many geniuses on XDA and I dont think you all get the credit u deserve.

You should be fine with it relocked then...:D

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P90:
So I have a Samsung galaxy captivate and I have searched constantly for a fix. What the problem is I have gingerbread 2.3.5 and it's just not working when I flash roms. I think I have the wrong cmw recovery. When I try and flash cmw recovery it doesn't give me the captivate option I am rooted. Whenever I try to install rom from sd card I can never find the file and I only have this update.zip so when I try and flash I get the E failed to verify whole-file signature and the the other e: fail thing. Please help! Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
ROM Manager works fine for 2.1, but not for anything else. You need to download any 2.3 kernel that already has CWM baked into it and flash it with Odin or Heimdall. What I would do is go into the development thread and pick any gingerbread-based ROM that is already packaged for Odin or Heimdall and flash that. Then you'll have CWM and you can go from there.

You're getting errors because you're trying to flash from recovery but you don't have CWM. You can't flash anything from recovery until you have it. Like I said, you need an Odin or Heimdall package, not a CWM package.

Go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406877

Download the Odin One Click Package. Do some research and teach yourself how to use Odin and the risks involved, then flash it. This will give you CWM and you can then flash anything you want from there.

You need to peruse the stickies in the development section to learn the ropes before you start flashing with Odin or Heimdall. There are risks involved that you need to fully understand and the process for how to do it safely has been covered many, many times in there.

[HTC Sensation] dayungexec:
My phone(htc sensation) kept saying I'm not rooted. I didn't know what to do. Straight to the point I put the PMG58zip file on my sdcard and booted the phone in recovery mode. hboot read the file and tried to update and it went through. Now 2 things, m

1. my phone wont start up, it turns on and off all the time. It won't load bootanimation nor to the OS.

2. If I switch the sdcard to one hboot that dont have the PMG58zip file I can flash roms or flash backups from CWM.

But still my phone keep turning on and off.

What can I do?

Also hboot will always read the PMG58zip file and it tries to update but comes up as CID update failed. What does this mean?
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
If you've swapped to multiple roms and it turns on and off all the time, it sounds like it's hardware related. Perhaps it's overheating and is shutting off to prevent damage?
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
It means you're trying to flash a firmware that isn't supported by your CID (Carrier Identifier)

Take out your sd card > boot into recovery > put sd card back in > turn on USB mode > Put the right Firmware file on your sd card > reboot into bootloader.

Then flash a ROM that supports that firmware.

First , it is a duplicate post.

Second , be more specific. What rom you are trying to boot? What is your hboot version? What is your radio version? Give us the full details of your bootloader screen..

Problem 2: My device is unable to find any other device, searching is taking a while, but with no results.

Problem 3: Sometimes I successfully found a device (my galaxy tab 10.1) but just after I choose "pair" nothing happens.

1. I tried procedure mentioned above with Custom ROM and with official ROM

2. I tried with several devices (my tablet, my PC, two other phones...) - no luck.

This problem may also be caused by a rogue app that you installed recently. Uninstall the apps that you do not use and see if it still reboots at random. If that still happens, uninstall all apps then install them back one by one to identify the guilty app.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
From your phone open the browser and head to https://play.google.com/store. (Tip: You may want to clear data and defaults on browser and Market before doing this.)

Search for “Google Wallet.” (If your browser prompts you to open the Market, don’t. Just stay in the browser.)

When the results come back, tap on the Google Wallet icon.

Tap the “Install” button from within the browser and then sign into your Google account. (Again, this is all from the browser, not the Market app.)

Once you have signed in, you should be redirected back to the Market page in the browser.

Tap the back button until you are prompted for the Market or Browser again, this time choosing the Market.

The Android Market should open to the Google Wallet page with an option to install.

**Note 1: It has recently come to my attention that you will have to change to a Google build (although some custom ROM's are fine) in order for this to work for you.

**Note 2: If you are an international user, you must be rooted and have the app MarketEnabler installed. You can use T-Mobile or you can use my untested method of using AT&T as your carrier and may not need to take any of the steps above.

**Note 3: I highly recommend installing the older apk from the Themes and Apps subforum.

**Note 4: If Google Wallet throws up a banner that says "Unsupported Device," it's nothing to worry about. It's because you're rooted!
