I just did this guide on a brand new Incredible and now the screen is blank… is there a way to unbrick this phone? I can’t see the screen to do anything… but it still functions.. This happened to me on an Evo also with the updated H-boot.

slurm :
This is a great guide and I do appreciate you for republishing with links, but if you could help me a little further I would appreciate it greatly. Everything works fine until I get to one part.
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
cd /data/local
chmod 0755 /data/local/flash_image
cd /data/local/tmp
./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Wait for the adb shell to go away, and it will dump you into your windows command prompt again (no shell) should look something like this: “C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>”
Typing adb shell now should produce a # prompt.
as soon as I get to this point, it will no longer recognize my phone, it says error:device not found, no matter what I do. I will post screens or a screen capture if I need to showing what happens. Please help me if you can.

I am experiencing this exact same issue. I have tried rebooting my phone and when I type adb shell after, it returns $ instead of #. Any ideas?

I could not get this to work unless i had my phone set to HTC Sync (most guides say set to charge only) for whatever reason my sd card would be mounted when set to charge only and it produced many errors and permision errors like the ones seen above. heres what i did

CHange charge mode to htc sync: when it pops up looking for pc shit yada yada click the back soft key BOOM everything worked from here on out. after every reboot do the same thing hope this helps!

Exact same thing happens to me!! I've done all steps like 10 times, and I've formatted my SD card to FAT32 a bunch of times, and I also did Factory Restore on phone several times. Still nothing!!! Help! @Tim

Tim : Having troubles.. the ./flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd0.img line runs almost instantly, then restart with ‘reboot booloader’ and it just comes to a screen that says ‘fastboot usb’ with options for bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down. Doesn’t look like anything installs automatically. If I select the bootloader option, a bunch of updates just look like they fail (too fast to read), then its back to the main screen only the options are: fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock, factory reset.. Rebooting just brings me back to 2.2. What am i missing here?
