unrooted and stuck on 2.1

[Robsellingdroids]

Rob, if you root your phone and change your mind, follow the instructions in the tutorial that is linked to my signature rather than downgrading. It will save you a headache.

sith, download this file- http://dougpiston.com/files/RUU/bui...and-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip , rename it (don't unzip it) to PB31IMG, and put it on the root of your SD card (not in any folders). Then boot into HBoot by powering up while holding the volume down button and let it run.

Okay ,ran it and everything said okay but the radio. It said Fail PU- partition update failed.

Now its stuck on HTC Incredible screen. Any help?

I finally got it to work again using the dinc_ota.zip. I still would like 2.2 but dont want to risk bricking my phone.

I'm sure Enlightened, Doug Piston, or any number of people can help.

There's probably an easy-to-follow guide or two over on HTC Incredible Forum that can help you out.

Okay, so we're back where we started at 2.1? What radio are you running? Menu-->settings-->about phone--> software --> baseband version. Next step is we'll try running the RUU- runs from your computer instead of your SD card.

I have read that if you updated your radio there are certin radios that will not update so you hae to flash back to the old one before you can update

Wow, risky move but glad its working for you. Not sure why the radio was failing, your the first I have heard run into that issue. Did you check the MD5 to make sure you got a good download of it?


Also unless you flash another radio do not, and I repeat DO NOT flash that dinc_ota again. It will brick the phone.

To get you back to 2.2 you could try the PB31IMG again but make sure you check the MD5 (I understand if your iffy on this idea) I would try the RUU. Both the RUU and the MD5 for the PB31IMG can be found in this post. Follow the RUU instructions and make sure to install the newest version of HTC sync which is also linked in that post.

Baseband version is 1.00.03.04.06. Sorry for the delay, I work a lot.

No worries about the delay. Seems everyone on here but me has a job these days.

I know nothing about the Inc so I can't be much help, but I'm sure the smart folks will be around soon enough.
