Alright so I'm not new to rooting... I've rooted my Incredible off and on for the year I've had it, tried out several roms, etc... Well I wanted to try out Gingerbread so I went through the whole unrooting process to get it, tried it, realized it wasn't my cup of tea. So while running 2.3.4 I tried to use Unrevoked (didn't realize they hadn't released a gingerbread update at the moment), then tried a method to root I found on the Android forums. Well after doing that I got the DONE prompt on my Unrevoked 2.2 program. Well I restarted my phone and it was stuck in a boot loop on the HTC Incredible splash it just continuously restarts on that screen. I went in to boot loader I believe is what it's called (vol down + power) to try and just run my PB31img and get my phone into a working order. Well when it checks the img it says the MAIN VERSION IS OLDER I guess since it's a Froyo PB and I'm on Gingerbread. I also occasionally get the white screen with the black box in the middle... I can't get onto my phone at all. I have literally no clue what to do and I will be in someone's debt forever if they can accurately get me through this problem. The S is still on and the phone is not rooted in the least. HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!
*Update*Also I do not have insurance so a replacement phone is out of the question. I just really need to get this one fixed and make it last me till October.
*Update* Just did a check. I get the white screen black bars when going to anything within the (vol down + power screen). Can not do system reinstall.

*Update* Like I said I can get to that main screen I can choose any of the options. Problem is when I choose them it immediately goes to the white/black screen. When I normally try to turn on my phone it still goes into the boot loop. I have a PB31 I used last time I had the black/white screen issue when I rooted my phone, but I'm expecting the same result as my actual PB31 since I downloaded them both during Froyo times. I could care less in the end if I actually root my phone lol right now I just want a working phone. -_____-
 
On a side note... Seeing as how S is on I could take it to a Verizon store and try and point the finger at Google because of a botched 2.3.4 upgrade. Only problem with that is there's an app that Unrevoked installs that would be seen if they can get into the phone.

Alright another update... I tried the Black Screen Froyo fix PB31 I had and HBoot won't even recognize it. :(
 
I can't do anything in regards to anything I believe... All the attempts at root failed so S is still off... On top of that I can't do anything in recovery due to it bricking when trying to access it.
 
I ran the GB PB31 that I downloaded but even it says the main version is older... Like the PB I have is older than the current that's on the phone and it won't run.

You will need to find one for 2.3.4. For your current build number or higher

You can get to hboot, that's all you need. Put the file on the root of your sd card, and boot into hboot.

Download this file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?1ovb6959r9qyg6w

Rename it to exactly PB31IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sd card that is formatted to FAT32.
Boot into hboot (volume DOWN + power) and follow the on screen prompts.
 
glad you got it working as well. sorry for the short replys earlier,i was at work(driving :eek:) so its not real easy to reply to posts,find links etc. ;)

when i got home it took me awhile to find the posts,since my email links took me to the end of the other thread :o

many thanks to sdraw for coming to the rescue :cool:

if you are still interested in rooting,you may want to take a look at my htcdev unlock downgrade/s-off thread,if the inc in question does not have any factory warranty left. the adb part is the same,and htcdev unlock still wipes your data,but it may be a little more reliable than the methods that are using unrevoked,wich seem to be a bit finicky with some phones.

just holler if you have further questions :)
