My inc can only boot into hboot (with s-on, although it previously was s-off?) and stock recovery 3e. It won't boot regularly (shows the splash screen and goes black and vibrates five times). I've been scouring the forums/google all afternoon. I would like to get a rom booted or get cwm. Hopefully this isn't a brick. Does anyone have any advice what to do with a htc incredible that can only boot into hboot (s-on) and stock recovery 3e?

EDIT: trying to flash an official update via recovery 3e isn't working because the sdcard isn't mounting. i've just reformatting to fat32, still not working

Hello! While flashing RA recovery on my rooted stock 2.1 Desire, something went wrong (got stuck on Waiting for root... message). Phone powered off, didn't power on again, so took battery out. Phone booted as it usually does, but when I boot to recovery, I just get HTC screen, and nothing more. Looks like I've erased recovery.
YES, I've tried reflash with RA mod.
YES, I've tried to reflash with Clockwork mod.
YES, I've used unrEVOted last version (as of 18/11) to flash my phone.
How do I return standard recovery or flash RA? I need to install new ROM, and I can't do it without recovery.
Try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673277
its the original way to flash a ROM before clockwork mod and that where created.
Hello, I'm new to the forum. So I'll try to explain my story as detailed as possible So,
This morning I decided to root my evo running 2.3 with REVOLUTIONARY s-off.
Then I flashed superuser on the evo. it worked perfectly. And I was rooted. But that wasn't the problem. The problem started when I tried to flash a custom rom on my evo. The rom was The kingdom rom, by virus. I put it on my ad card and went into recovery, recovery seemed a little different. It had a REVOLUTIONARY logo in recovery. I flashed the rom, it was succesful, I rebooted the device and I noticed it would just stay on the first white boot screen, the one that states htc evo 4g. I left it there for 10 minutes but it still didn't leave the boot. I took out the battery and went back into recovery, I reflashed the rom and rebooted the device but no luck, the same thing persisted. So I went BACK into recovery and mounted the USB hboot with my sd card, I then put a PC36IMG.zip and flashed that because I thought that would put everything back to stock. I rebooted the phone, put to my surprise, the pc36img file was loaded before I did anything on my boot loader screen.... It was flashed and it was rebooted, but no luck. I went back to my boot loader and tried to go back into recovery but it doesn't work!!! all I see now when I choose recovery is a picture of a phone with an exclamation point. This is weird but I think I'm partially rooted because in my boot loader it is s-off and has a REVOLUTIONARY boot logo.... Please help, I booted my device and all I see is the first boot screen, and I've seen that for 2 hours and 24 minutes.... Help me please!!!
Running an RUU replaces the recovery with the stock recovery, which is pretty much not a recovery. I believe if while on that screen (the red triangle recovery screen) if you hold both volume buttons at the same time you'll be given some options. Anyway, you just need to flash a recovery.
Here is Amon Ra: http://db.tt/WP0beNa
It's a PC36IMG file. Remove the other one and flash that. Then boot into recovery, wipe boot, data, cache, dalvik, sd-ext, and .android_secure. Then flash the rom or try a different one.

Did you try to start with volume-down pressed?
I can get in bootloader and fastboot, but not in clockworkmod recovery.
i have flashed the clockworkmod recovery in fastboot again but with no luck
still get boot loop if i try to get in clockwordmod recovery.
possible that you're flashing a corrupted image
i would recommend 4ext touch recovery as it's just better in many ways.
can you still boot normally into your rom? if so you can install the app from 4ext.net, then let it flash the recovery for you.
alternatively flash the recovery.img from the 4ext thread.
i have downloaded the image many times.
I can boot in my rom, but i get some random reboots with boot loops.
I am going to try the 4ext recovery later.
Thanks!
I have tried the 4ext recovery same result it ends in boot loops.
I have gone back on stock branding rom with s-on.
It seems that the promlem wasnt coused by the custom recovery.
I am still getting random reboots.
When it then reboots it hangs in an boot loop.
It only boots if i remove the battery and wait a few minutes.
Anybody an Idea what couses this problem?
Hi!
I'm trying to install Clockwork recovery mod 5.8.4.0 on my HOX+. I've unlocked etc and flashed it to the device successfully. Now when I go to recovery it shows the HTC screen and then the phone turns itself off. even after multiple attempts, nothing...
Any tips/tricks?
Is it the HBOOT version maybe? I have 1.35.0000
You might want to post here.
So, my wife's Droid Incredible, went into a bootloop. It was completely stock, no modifications done, but while she was using it, it just started rebooting over and over again..it won't get past the first splash screen without rebooting.
At first, I thought it might have overheated, but evidently this is not the problem.
So I've been messing with it..I am able to get it into hboot (version 1.07), which I was able to unlock through hdev. I tried flashing CWM through fastboot, but the phone won't boot into recovery.
So could someone direct me to how to fix it? If I could put a stock image on the sdcard that hboot would install, would that work? Where would I find this image?
Thanks in advance.
Here is the information in hboot:
UNLOCKED
INCREDIBLEC XC SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.07.0000
MICROP-0417
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO-2.15.10.12.20

So you "tried" flashing CWM through fastboot. What exactly did you do, and what, if any, was the error? And how are you trying to get into recovery?
If you flash the recovery correctly, you should be able to get into recovery.

Okay, I did flash the recovery, with fastboot flash recovery. To boot into recovery, I am going back to the bootloader and selecting recovery. What happens is the device reenters bootloop at that point.
Update: I have now tried using PB31IMG.zip from here http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.2/ by putting onto Fat32 sd card which then does get installed in hboot. When trying to boot the system, the bootloop is unchanged. However, now when I try to boot recovery, instead of looping, the boot freezes on the htc incredible splash screen.

Sounds like your recovery flash didn't take. Try putting this file on the root of a FAT32 formatted sdcrard, and then try to get into recovery.

Thanks for the help. So I went into hboot, hboot found the file, reflashed the recovery, then tried to boot into recovery but the same bootloop occurs. The splash screen htc incredible splashes, it goes black, vibrates, and splashes again until I pull the battery.
Is there anything else to try? Could I somehow replace the bootloader?
So I've tried a few more things now, still no joy -- using fastboot, I issued the following commands to flash an RUU
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <name.zip>
However, the flash always fails.
I have also tried to use fastboot to erase the recovery.
fastboot erase recovery
Strangely, it fails when I do this, although it reports that it works when I tell it to flash a recovery image. Although I still can't boot into recovery.
However, I finally got hboot to flash one of the system roms by putting it on the sdcard (4.08.605.15 ) . Strangely enough, this worked only after I relocked the bootloader with fastboot. However, after this the situation remains unchanged.
