Please Help Is My DINC a Brick Now?

[dbuckley31984]

Here is the situation I have a rooted incredible running the skyraider 3.5 sense rom and whatever kernel came with it. i dropped the phone in a puddle the other day and instead of doing the insurance replacement i just used my upgrade to get the thunderbolt.
the phone has been working fine once it dried out and there have been no problems. But now when i go to boot up the phone it just gets stuck at the white incredible screen when it first boots up and wont move from there at all, I can however get into the boot loader and recovery. But everytime i go to do a factory reset or restore from a backup or flash a new rom i get an error that something can't be mounted and thats it. Is there a way to fix this? I have access to both windows and mac so if its something that only works on one of those platforms its not a problem. Any help would be appreciated. i am also attaching a picture of the screen i get when the error pops up

Take out the SD-card and burry the phone in a Tupperware container of rice for a few days. There may still be some moisture that needs to be dried out.

After a few days, re-install the SD-Card and try to reinstall a new ROM in the standard way.

Good Luck!

EDIT: Use uncooked plain white rice. Don't cook it!

...and let us know if that works! Our fingers are crossed.

the rice trick should work for you, if it doesn't than the ol' DInc may be done for

Does the SD card work outside the phone? I mean if it's plugged into a reader can you access it on the computer? It maybe what isn't mounting.

i am going to give the rice trick a try today. SD card works fine outside of the phone i was actually using it in my new thunderbolt for a few days while i was copying stuff over to the new card that came with the thunderbolt. i will let you guys know what happens, hopefully i can get this thing working so that i can sell it and get some money out of it to try to cover the cost of buying this beast of i phone i have now. thanks everyone for your help

be sure to tell whoever u plan to sell it to that you dropped it in a puddle....if not thats pretty sleazy.

When you boot into recovery you may have to mount the SD card. Mine does that every now and then.

 

[dbuckley31984]

i have tried mounting the sd card also and it doesn't help at all, i have also tried to wipe the battery stats and the dalvick cache and when i try to do either i still get an error. Is there any software out there that i can use to reflash the whole phone back to factory, just assuming that everything on the root of the phone is gone so that i can get this thing back up and running

LOL - I have a mind like a steel sive!

ok so i tried the unrooting method and i've gotten further than i have i get it to half way boot up now. I get the "droid" Noise when it boots then the i guess you can call it the droid eye, then it re-cycles and starts again, but instead of going to the white htc incredible screen it goes to the htc quietly brilliant screen is there anything else i can that can be done or am i pretty much SOL at this point
