Hello to all and thanks for the opportunity to be here.
I own an Incredible 2. It WAS running Android 2.3.4. I had heard so much about rooting and running custom roms that well, I had to try it out for myself, and I did. Thing is, now it goes to the white hTC screen and there it sits.
I went to the HTC site and did what I had to do to unlock the boot. Now when I hit the volume down and power buttons, it boots to the start screen. At the very top it says UNLOCKED. It still says S-ON, and below that it says HBOOT-0.98.0000.
I installed ClockworkMod and SuperUser 3.1.3.
I select wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition, then wipe dalvik cache. Then I go back and try to install cm-7.2.0-vivow.zip. ClockworkMod shows the progress bar, it fills up and then says that it is done. From there I reboot and voila! I'm right back to watching the white hTC screen for another hour.
So, can anyone out there help me? I really like this phone and I even have and extended use battery for it. It figures, I wanted to do my first experimenting on some other, preferably cheap android - you know, to get the feel for it - but of course I got carried away and here I am.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any help you might be able to give me.
