[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] BladeMaverick:
Ok, I literally got this device about 4 days ago. It's a replacement unit for my old Droid X2 since battery life was only lasting me about 6 hours tops.

Decided to root it, read up on it as it's completely different than Moto X2's rooting.

At first it wouldn't downgrade, ZergRush wasn't cutting it (Hellions with BLUE flames), tried wiping it, TacoRoot, wiped again, then Zerged again. For some odd reason, it allowed me to downgrade from 2.3.4 and HBOOT 0.98. With the fact that it boot looped a few times before finally booting up.

Had no problems, rooted the device by pushing SuperUser and BusyBox, thought that the bootloop issue would go away on its own if I flashed a new ROM. So, after some picking-and-choosing, decided upon Sabotage Multi Sense. Flashed, Restarted, everything was going great! Even installed TWRP without issues. Until I tried to install FullThrottle from CondemnedSouls (Same dev of Sabotage). The device returned to bootlooping.

Mind you, when I say "Boot Looping", the device boots up, goes through the animation boot, loads up to the lock screen, few seconds later, poof, it reboots in a constant loop.

So? Since I already have Revolution and Clockwork recovery installed, checked the eMMC. Booted into recovery, mounted via USB, on two PCs it picked up fine.

With this, I restarted, in command prompt for Win7 I did the following :

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot erase cache

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

Now. This booted up once, and without a loop. Every time I do this, no loop. Not until this next step.

Phone activation.

I activate the phone, no problems, it resets, BOOTLOOP. BOOTLOOP. BOOTLOOP.

Read up on this even more while my phone is on the side buzzing at me on my laptop telling me it's still bootlooping, figured I'll post this as well.

And....for some miraculous reasoning pushing the power button while it was in mid-animation-boot brought up the lockscreen. Swiped, and no boot loop.

....What in the bloody hell.

...Sorry. Caught me off guard while I was typing.

Regardless. Fastboot was disabled when I flashed the RUU, used the VivoW toolkit (And guide) from here :

A-Anyway, with it I think fixing itself, going to check it real quick and see what happens when I reboot it via adb, add clockwork and SU again (One step at a time), and I'll re-update this post. Hopefully it just fixed itself.

--

......Well installing Clockwork mod just set me into a bootloop again. Will try messing with the powerbutton and see if there's any difference.

Nope! Not a single difference now. Grand.

--

Just noticed that before it reboots it's "Preparing SD Card", then it reboots. Tried this with another working card, same result. Not sure if that would be the cause or not since it works perfectly fine in Recovery when mounting.

--

Well I think flashing CM9 just cleared the bootloop. Going to mess around with it further and hopefully get everything back up and running, could have been a bad RUU I was using initially. <_>;
