[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelmontAl:
Hi,

I’ve been a lurker here on XDA and thanks to the great posts here have been happy with my DInc for much longer than expected :good:. I was hoping to post on the Incredikernal page as I think I am running Incredikernal (unless it got replaced when I flashed a new PB31IMG) but do not have enough posts yet. I Hope you can help with my current problem.

Current state:

After my DInc got stuck on the white HTC Incredible screen and trying to restore a nandroid backup failed (see History below), I flashed the stock Froyo PB31IMG from pvillecomp (outside link deleted) and flash in HBOOT directions on that site. The DInc booted up into Froyo 2.2.

I then tried to flash the stock Gingerbread image from that site, but the DInc got stuck in a loop (Droid screen, HTC screen, Droid screen…)

I then flashed back stock Froyo.

I then tried to install ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0 via HBOOT, with file renamed to PB31IMG (per the instructions on androidforums

incredible-all-things-root/420788-how-regain-root-s-off-htc-unlocked-bootloader.html )

When I get into CWM, I get the following "errors":

ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0

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

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

When I tried to install Superuser per step 6 of that thread, I get the error E:Can’t mount /sdcard/

I thought maybe I needed to run the 5 Vibs of Death fix (SD Card fix (fastboot oem enable qxdm 0) and USB but given that my PC can read the SD card while it is in the DInc (Disk Drive under Connection Type with USB Cable plugged in) my thought is that this isn’t the problem.

Then I thought maybe I need to root the DInc using Unrevoked3 since it is on Froyo 2.2.

Then I thought maybe I need to work on the partitions, using Parted.

Now I am wondering if I should just leave well enough alone (at least my DInc is working again :) ), but thought I would ask here first. If I can't regain root, at least I would like to get Stock Gingerbread to work.

Any guidance is much appreciated!

Thanks,

Al

History:

I rooted my device years ago, but don’t remember if I used Unrevoked3. My DInc has s-off, and the Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik mod.

I had been running incredikernal and Tiny’s CM10.1 Inc builds happily for a long time, but after one of the updates the DInc started acting unstable, and so tried CM7.2, then wanted to try Jelly Bean and so tried Evervolv 4.3, but felt it was missing basic features (voicemail notification, etc), so went back to CM7.2.

While playing music via Bluetooth (phone plugged in to a 5v 1200ma charger if that matters), the phone suddenly died – when powering on it got stuck at the White HTC Incredible screen.

When powering on while pressing the Volume Down button I get:

INCREDIBLEC XD SHIP S-off

HBOOT-0.92.0000

MICROP-0417

Touch Panel-atmelc03_16ac

Radio-2.15.00.07.28

When I go to recovery I got the ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 Blue menu.

After this menu I got the following errors:

ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0

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

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

When I go to mounts and storage I get:

Mount sdcard - Error mounting /sdcard!

Mount emmc – Error mounting /sdcard!
