[q] i think i bricked my droid incredible

---

So here's the deal. I tried to unroot my phone back to stock, following instructions from the youtube video
How to Un-Root the HTC Droid Incredible by droseum20

I managed to find the files elsewhere, since megaupload is down.
Went through the steps, and in the end, once i tried to turn my phone on, it vibrated once and stayed on the black screen.

I tried to turn the phone back on/go to hboot screen, with the power button + VOL Down button, but nothing. (still black screen)

So I would like to try this method, since the screen is black and I can't see anything:

Method 1:
Download: liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_F...crut4wrv30.zip and rename it to update.zip then follow instructions given by teppic74

1. Make sure the update.zip (NOT update.zip.zip!) file is on your goldcard and correctly named.
2. Take the battery out first to ensure the phone is powered off. Then hold vol down and press the power button, and hold vol down for about 5 seconds. That will get you into the bootloader even though you can't see it.
3. Press vol down once. This will select recovery.
4. Press the power button once. This will start the recovery. The phone will vibrate briefly.
5. Wait 20 seconds or so. Then press vol up and the power button and wait a few seconds. You'll now be in system recovery.
6. Press vol down once to select 'apply sdcard:update.zip'.
7. Press the power button once to start the recovery.
8. After a few seconds press the power button once again.

The link provided in this instructional is down and doesn't work.

There are current RUU here

But what do I do with them?

How can I basically reboot my Droid Incredible blindly?

Not sure where you got those instructions or files from, but there not for the incredible.

Heres what you do.

Download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images....3/PB31IMG.zip, and put it on the root of your sdcard in no folders.

Pull the battery, reinsert, and press vol down +power for 5 secs then wait for 5 mins not touching anything.

Press vol up and then wait for 20 minutes touching nothing. The phone will reboot once during the process, this is normal just let it be.

Press vol up, the phone should reboot and come up being able to see things and boot to the os normally.

I keep getting messages telling me that the original PB31IMG is an older version and I cannot get my phone to boot up. I get the white HTC splash screen and it shuts off and reboots again and again. I can get into HBOOT Menu, but cannot seem to install any ROMS.

I am clueless about all this stuff.

Any help?
