I'm not entirely sure this is a root problem, though my phone is rooted.
Incredible 2, with Revolutionary. Android 2.3.3, software number 2.18.605.3
Phone was working fine yesterday. I decided to update some of my apps (HBO Go, Angry Birds, ASTRO, Titanium Backup and a few others). When I was updating, I got the "your phone is running out of space" message so I decide to move some apps to the SD card. After doing several of these, I could no longer access the home screen by pressing the home button. I'd press the button and I'd get the haptic feedback but the screen would do nothing. The back button just cycled though the previous screens I had open.
I decide to just power down and boot up again. I restarted the phone and it progressed just fine until it got to the red eye camera lens screen. Normally it sits there for some time but this was even longer than normal. I could go nowhere. Oddly, when my wife called, I was able to answer and talk to her, but I still couldn't get to the main screen. I was, however, able to access the settings menu now. Figuring I screwed up something, I go to the applications menu and looked at what had been moved to the SD card. It turns out HTC Sync (version 900) was now on the SD card. Oops. I figured that didn't belong so I moved it back to the phone. It gave me the message saying "system files can't be moved to external media". Yeah, got it. How it got ON external media to start with, I don't know.
Anyway, moving it back to the phone has had no effect. It's still hanging on startup. I can access the hBoot and Revolutionary screens but would like to avoid a reset if at all possible.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? This is not the typical "hung up on the HTC screen" problem. It's odd because the phone seems to work fine~ish, at least I can get to certain menus; I just need for someone to call me before I can get into the phone. Am I being clear? Please, ask for any clarification you need; I'm sure I'm missing something.
Thanks all!
