D INC: Went off into the Deep Inc.

[B33]

My Droid Incredible is stuck on Bootloading only: it will power up go thru the two screens lockup an then repower itself up again.

Oops!  Sounds like a factory reset might be your only option.

Yep, factory reset is due. Mine went into this about 9 days ago (it was not activated, but I use it with WiFi) I have seen quite a few others who had the same issue about the same time .

[Ann154]

Oh! I just remembered! DincX110, didn't you say that you are on an Alltel plan?

Extra programming may be required to get your phone properly set up.

Yea its on a alltel plan Ann an Bud 1 i think what i done to provoke this i was listning to Tune in Radio an i let it go to wear it drained the batterie     my bad. 

[budone]

Ya know....... That is what I listen to at night...... maybe there is a link to the issue there.   Anyways, if you do a factory reset and cant get data after activating the device, let me know and I will get your connection back. Or were you the one I helped a couple weeks ago..... Anyways let me know.

I was able to get her up n running i thought i might loose my contacts but they were restored i lost a few of my apps but thats it.

But i tellya when she was doing the boot loading an still doing the bootloading after i charged her i thought O  S--t  what do i do. i

done some A$$ scrachin at first  An i thought  ask on here first.  but then something came over me an said try to figure this one

out your self. So i did wright a post but a the same time tried to get her going my self. an this is what i done. Bud one  an  Ann

1. i pulled the battery an reinserted it.  then i pressed the power an i'll call it the joystick button at the same time an it brought up the boot loader an other options an i selected the one to take me to wear i could do a Factory reset.

2. i done the factory reset an got her up n runnen an then done my *228 option 1 an then went thru the other sequences then done a test call to the Dinc. from my home phone.  an then done a call out using the Dinc. it went perfect

3. an then I basically restored every thing back on her that was on her before this dibacle.

Budone i did want to ask though did i do the sequence right by holding down the power an joystick at the same time or should i have held the power an something els down i was thing some one said the Volume Button. But i was'nt sure on it thats why i wanted to ask .

Hey budone my ear is itchin an what i'm about to ask is since the D inc. has dropted off  the Market an Now Dinc. 2 is out an replaceing it could there be a posibilty were going to see issues with the phone because i havent heard a darn thing about a Gingerbred update for it. If there is one   an if there is no more regular updates to come out.  is she gonna have issues in the future.      if so thats no good having a phone for another Year. 

Might have to suck it up an buy a D inc 2 at full retail  But thats an Ouchie of a Price.!

[budone]

GB is supposed to come to the Dinc. And Dinc 2, Tbolt......... We wait patiently.

And yes, I think you pressed the reight things to get to the master reset screen.  I had hoped to get to safe mode with pressing the VOL down, MENU and joystick button, butoI could not get that to work..... so I master reset the phone.

Well budone:  i waited for Ginger for My X an it finally came i can waite a little longer for it on the Dinc. i think i can
