Okay guys, so my problem is i get into clockwork recovery fine, but when i go to select any of the options with the power button my screen goes blank and nothing happens. My phone will not let me flash a rom or anything in clockwork works i have tried wiping and clearing cache but still nothing. Any suggestions?
In clockwork use the trackpad to select (i.e. push in on it)

Lets make this easy:
-Tried to install CyanogenMod on my rooted Desire using the ROM Mananger.
-Installed it but it got into a loop at the CyanogenMod boot logo
-Searched around and found out that you had to go into recovery and try to reflash there
-Every time I go into ClockworkMod Recovery, there's a message "E:Error in CACHE:recovery/log (No space left on device)"
-Tried to wipe data/factory reset
-Got a black screen
(It seems that all the options give me a black screen and the only way I could solve that is to remove the battery)
I was told to reflash the recovery, but how would I go about doing that?
Pleas don't tell me you also try to confirm actions in recovery with the power button. Use the trackpad/optical joystick instead, the reason the screen turns black is because you actually turn it off(simple press of the power button should fix it and not pulling the battery). Also make sure in recovery you wipe data/factory-reset, cache and dalvik cache(under advanced)

Oh Thank you soooo much. Thought I had to spend hours on this, but your comment saved the day!
OK, so I have my wife's old Incredible that was Rooted with Unrevoked. It was kept stock Rooted.
She got an Incredible 2 and I now want to sell her old Incredible. Tried to Wipe data and SD Card using the Data and Storage Settings menu. The phone acts like it is doing both things, but doesn't actually format the SD Card, and when doing a Factory Reset, the phone reboots and acts like it is wiping the data. When it boots back up, her background is still there and there are a bunch of widgets that say "Problem Loading Widget" on them. It does seem to remove some items as email accounts are reset, GMail, etc. are all wiped.
So, I reboot into Recovery to try and reflash the stock Radio, put S-On, and install the stock ROM, but no matter what I choose in Clockwork Recovery, I get a "blank" screen after choosing a menu item. For example, when I go to "Install Zip from Sdcard," It will take the input and where it would normally ask what Zip I want to install, it only shows the background of CWR. If I try to Wipe Data, where normally it would have all the menu options with "NO" and the one that says "Yes - Wipe Data," that menu never shows up.
So, I can't fully wipe the thing, and I can't seem to flash stock Boot, Recovery, etc. to get this back to stock so I can sell it.
Any ideas?
I'll try helping you out.
1) download a new Incredible recovery from dougpiston.com/ and follow his directions above the downloads.
2) reboot into hboot (you can also turn off phone then hold vol down + power). It should prompt for an update, which you should accept. Let your phone do it's thing, it may take several minutes or longer.
3) Once you have a new recovery, delete that PB31IMG recovery file.
Your recovery should work as expected now. Btw, where did you download the s-on file from?

I downloaded both the Stock recovery, flashed and got a picture of a phone with a Red Exclamation point on it. I then downloaded CWR 3.0.0.8 and flashed that, this time it goes into recovery but does the same thing the other one does: Shows the menu options but then the screen goes blank if I try to choose an option.
EDIT: Holy poop, I think I know what the issue was all along! Basically, I was thinking that recovery worked like my Thunderbolt in that the Vol +/- was how to scroll in CWR menus and the PWR button was the select. Turns out that you use the trackball to both scroll AND select menus in CWR on the DInc!
I just wiped the device in CWR and it is booting up. I already sold the phone to a friend and she told me to keep it Rooted with a stock ROM on it, so I don't have to go any further provided that it wipes properly!
Well as long as it works!
Problem with ClockworkMod Recovery
I was trying to install MIUI ROM but after performing a data wipe I got an
E: unknown volme for path [sd/ext]
Back Menu Button Disabled
Davik Cache wiped
message.
I'm now not able to use any of the options in the first clockwork mod recovery screen even though I can freely move throughout them. Whenever I choose one the background remains but nothing happens.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm afraid to reboot since I have no ROM installed.
take the battery out, put it back in then power on holding the volume down button then get back in recovery wipe again then flash again
So I flashed a gpe rom (clean install), I am s-off so i dont know why after i deleted some system apps (play books, google plus etc.) and go into recovery to wipe dalvik cache and reboot i get a bootloop. I'm stuck on the bootloop and the phone does not turn off and I dont think i checked usb debug on, anything i can do??

Okay first, in order to get out of the bootloop. Do a Volume up + Power to reboot the phone and after you see the screen go off switch to Volume down + power. After this step you should be in the bootloader (HBOOT). Now use the volume keys to navigate to 'Recovery' and press the power button to select it. Once in the recovery try wiping the Dalvik Cache and /cache partition again and reboot into System and see if it boots properly. If it doesn't then do a clean reflash of the GPE ROM.
Also in order to troubleshoot what caused this, can you give a specific list of the system apps you removed or any other possible things you could've did to cause this?
My phone unexpectly turned off and then it entered into a bootscreen loop.
I just tried to flash a stock rom, so I could just erease everything and make it like new.
The problem is that after any flash, or any new rom I install, it keeps into this bootscreen loop. I read that I need to go into the recovery mode and make a Wipe, o data factory reset, etc.
The problem here is that I can't get into the recovery mode in non of the roms i've used. I even tried the last Phils recovery (philz_touch_6.07.9-jflteusc.tar.md5 ) and it dindn't work either (Even unchecking auto reboot and trying to enter to recovery mode after flash)
I press Vol +, Home, and Power, and it shows me this:
Blue line: RECOVERY BOOTING...
Yellow line: Set Warranty Bit: recovery
THIS IS IN EVERY ROM I'VE TRIED.
Then it get full of different colors pixels, and then just restart, and all the looping starts again.
I can't show you the photos I made because I'm a new user in xda forums.
Please help me!
