Had AOKP installed on my new Dinc2, loving it as I have on every Droid I've carried (Dinc 1 and 2, GNex) for the last 3 months, but I wanted to try a Sense rom again so I successfully flashed CoreDroid (yes, the correct one for the DInc2). No matter what I did, it kept freezing. 30 seconds in, like clock work, it froze. So, I decided to reflash AOKP in CWM (blue, Revolutionary version). I could not get it to boot at all. Now I cannot get ANYTHING to boot. In CWM, I am getting "E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command" etc. I researched this all morning and afternoon and tried several different things to get it up and running again. What I have tried so far:
1. Flashing a stock RUU with HBOOT, Fastboot Commander, and FASTBOOT (get message that I cannot downgrade hboot)
2. Flashing another recovery with HBOOT and FASTBOOT
I can access HBOOT, FASTBOOT, and CWM, though CWM is very slow and showing that things have been flashed successfully when I'm not sure they are. My question is...can I flash an RUU that will boot in HBOOT or with FASTBOOT or is there something I can do in CWM? To give you an idea of what I have going on:

Nope. Download the free app from the site, and install via the app. Or download the paid from the market and support the dev.

Did you make a backup before you installed the new ROM?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA
yes, i made a backup. it says it flashes successfully but it doesn't. i went partition by partition using an advanced restore and /system will not restore for sure. i'm pretty sure i know what that means (most likely jacked up the partitions somehow when i flashed CoreDroid). this happened after a flash to that ROM which caused freezing after 30 seconds every time i booted. i then tried to return to CM9, which i'm guessing was no bueno somehow. i am just curious as to how i could have done this flashing a ROM. isn't the process a somewhat exact science by now? i have a 500-1 record so far, lol.
I feel SO stupid! I am not at all new to droids, or flashing roms, or recovery images, but the HTC Droid incredible 2 I got used today for my wife, I was stupid and now it's stuck on the HTC white screen. I had used HTCDEV to unlock the phone, successfully (on a mac, which is a big pain in the ass), and pushed the revolution recovery to the phone, and everything was working great, but then I had to push the envelope, and I installed the ClockworkMod Touch Recovery v6.0.1.1 (name: recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.1-touch-vivow-jellybellys.img) and tried to install RCMix.Energized.7.26.2012.Fixed.Kernel_Ver2.zip, and now the phone won't boot.
I have to get this fixed before my wife gets really mad! In ClockworkMod Recovery, I have Wipe Data/Factory reset (multiple times), Wiped Cache, Formatted Cache, Formatted System, Formatted Data, Wiped Dalvik, and NO luck, even with trying to flash several different roms, including:

I would try to push a stock ruu back. As far as what caused this I can almost guarantee you is because you didn't pull the kernel out and flash it as PG32IMG.zip in boot loader. If I was you I would go for s-off. Nor that hard and less hassle/ headache

O, and the pg32verizonradio whatever the rest of the name is, you prob just need to rename it, without the quotes, "PG32IMG.zip" and make sure that's it, no .zip on the end of that, you will have to have windows enabled to sho file extentions, put that file named exactly as I said on your phones sd card, in no folder or anything just on the card. Put back in phone, hold down the power plus the volume down button to enter bootloader, say yes when it asks, bam. You.should be good to go, just make sure you delete that file off your sd now or it'll keep repeating that... If I've helped would appreciate hitting thanks button...

Whatever is easiest I'm up for. I am trying to research how to get S-OFF, but I'm not sure yet. (I had the phone rooted with CWM recovery, I should have just left it alone. I forgot that the HTC phones aren't like the Droid Razr, where root and recovery is an easy one click installer. I guess with HTC I have to deal with the rom, the kernal, s-on or s-off, the boot.img, the recovery, and all that).
>>>>> and the pg32verizonradio whatever the rest of the name is, you prob just need to rename it, without the quotes, "PG32IMG.zip"
So you think it's ok just to name it PG32IMG without the .zip? Ok, I'll try that. I've tried nearly everything else. I wish it was like the Samsung or Motorola phones, where you could push the whole image to the phone with a windows utility. Thanks!

It needs to have .zip at the end to make sure its a .zip file, the extension, if you have windows to show extensions and it says .zip.zip its wrong. If your in windows and its named PG32IMG and its showing it as a zip file you're good to go. If you're s off you won't have to worry about all that other stuff just flash Rom and go that's what I was trying to tell you

I've never done it myself so I can't really help out with steps but I think all you need to do is flash a rom of your choosing and then flash the boot image of that rom. This is because you are S-ON. I would highly recommend just going S-OFF. It will make your life much easier.
Thanks for your help, I've tried many many times, through recovery to flash the PG32IMG.zip file that is supposed to be as close to stock as possible. I know it is not named .zip.zip, I am really well versed in Windows. I am able to go into the recovery I have know, which is the eEXT touch recovery, and install from SD Card, but it constantly hangs at the HTC logo.
Put the PG32IMG.ZIP on the root of your SD card, then flash from the bootloader - NOT recovery.

When you are HTC-DEV unlocked you need to flash the boot.img file in bootloader, or else the ROM will not boot.
Extract the boot.img file from the rom .zip file and put it in your adb/fastboot folder. Then, go to recovery and flash that rom. Then, in a command prompt at your adb/fastboot folder, type: adb reboot bootloader
Once you're at the bootloader, type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then reboot: fastboot reboot
Also, check out the "comprehensive guide" thread in the development forum here. There is a RUU listed that will (since you're HTC-DEV unlocked) take you back to the .97 bootloader and allow you to revolutionary S-OFF. That may be your last resort.
Haven't tried this yet, but when I think about it, it makes perfect sense! I'll let you know what happens. In the meantime, I had to go buy another phone for my wife, since I "Screwed hers up!"

being you are s-on, the ROM most likely (since most inc2 root users ares-off) that the kernel is packaged into the ROM
you can't install kernels in recovery with an s-on phone.
so install the correct kernel for the ROM, using adb and should work
Don't feel bad. I was in the same boat. Thanks for the thread and the help. Off to get S-Off now...

It's asking for sim unlock pin with the sim from AT&T I got. I'm assuming I need S-off... what do I need to do for this at this point?
I have a Verizon Dinc2 given to me by a friend....I'm not a complete noob but not very familiar with this particular device...I know how to use adb and have rooted and modified several other models from the HTC lineup before
Here's the problem, the phone was apparently unlocked with HTCdev method, had clockworkmod recovery installed (v5.0.2.0) but then left with S-ON, no sd card and no ROM installed.
Every method I have found of rooting properly, or getting a new hboot on there, or downgrading or ANYTHING basically requires that you start with the phone booted, which I can't do because there is no ROM installed.
I have tried putting a ROM on an sd card and flashing from recovery, no dice.
I have tried flashing several different RUU (PD32img or whatever) from the bootloader, and I always get a 'bad image' or 'wrong image' message then nothing.
I have tried to perform a couple of downgrade methods thinking the RUU's included might install and help me out, and can't complete through adb because the phone isn't in the proper mode. or it will start a flash and give me an error of some kind.
I know if I could install a ROM, I could enable debugging, use charge only mode, even flash a different recovery, etc... but with no ROM, and no way to boot, I am at a loss.
Anyone know where I can go with this? the phone is pretty nice, and I would love to get it running, even just stock...Maybe somebody has a nand backup I could try running from CWM, or something along those lines?
The info I get from the bootloader is as follows:

If you have an sd card, put a ROM on it and flash it. If you still have clockwork installed, you can do it. Then you have to take the boot.IMG from the ROM and flash via adb

Flash via fastboot. Extract the boot.img from the ROM zip, put the ROM on your sdcard, flash the ROM in recovery, boot into fastboot and use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then you can boot it.

What ROM are you using? Did you do anything just before this happened?
The best thing to do is to wipe cache/data bebore re-flashing your rom and it will be fine.
I've done this every time my phone stuck on splash screen.
BTW think about making an NANDROID when your rom is fully and correctly installed, it will avoid some problem in the future

I collected it from a friend stuck to splash screen. I can actually say what happened before it got stuck but my guesses are:
1. It was on stock ROM before it got stuck.
2. It has no recovery on it.
Kindly help me out on it.
I know seems stupid, but if it sounds unrooted. Try soft reset battery out leave a bit, battery back in switch on reboot. Any luck

Try get recovery using the
PB99IMG 4ext recovery in my sig.
Put the PB99IMG.zip on ur sdcard then boot into bootloader (vol down + power) and bootloader should find the zip and ask to update recovery? Volume up for yes. Then it will ask to reboot? Volume down for no. Then select recovery using volume buttons to navigate and power to select. Once in recovery, format all partitions except sdcard, wipe dalvik. Then u can restore a nandroid backup or just flash a new rom. If u need to flash a new rom then just make sure to partition ur sdcard to what ever the rom OP requires.
