I recently followed the unrevoked guide to root my phone and put on the clockworkmod custom recovery image (for slcd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748618). Everything appeared to go smooth, unrevoked said it was a success, been using it for a few hours now and all of a sudden it wont boot sits at the htc screen, I also can't boot into recovery mode (shows a black line at the top of the screen then powers down). Its a brand new telus desire. Anyone know where i go from here to trouble shoot this/reset the device.
run unrevoked again.

Kind of related:
After running rom manager and asking it to reboot into recovery it no longer will. Stuck at HTC screen.
So it's safe to just re run unrevoked? Won't try and reroot my custom rom or anything?
What did you do to solve your problem? I have the same problem.
Hello all, my phone has been stuck at the "unrevoked" splash screen for 5 minutes now, can I safely pull the battery out?
Here is how I ended up with this dilemma:
1.) I downloaded custom splash.
2.) I renamed custom splash PB31IMG.zip.
3.) I powered down phone, then proceeded to HBoot.
4.) The phone began parsing PB31IMG.zip, then stopped.
5.) My computer several times recognized, unrecognized, installed, etc. device software.
6.) I decided to reboot phone to edit PB31IMG.zip. (I didn't realize there were two files in the zip.)
7.) Phone is now stuck on splash screen.
P.S. I didn't want to bother the Incredible Development forum because those guys can be testy about certain questions (and rightly so), so I posted here.
Edit: I took a deep breath, pulled the battery, and was able to reboot in recovery. Thanks anyway. =)
*Mods, please close this thread now. Thank you.

The screen is stuck on the splash, so I cannot hold the power button to power it off or anything else. The only solution would be to remove battery and reboot into recovery.
I'm wondering if its safe to pull out the battery and not brick the phone?
Any input is appreciated.
My One X was working perfectly on Leedroid 5.1. I downloaded 6.2, put it on the SD card, held the power button and went to reboot into recovery, but it got stuck on the HTC ONE boot screen and wouldn't go any further. I thought it was a little odd but ignored it. Then I realised I needed to flash the boot.img anyway, so I turned the phone off then booted into bootloader, fastboot, flashed the boot.img. At the end of the process the phone was sent to recovery again, but again, the same thing happened, it wouldn't go past that screen.
I figured my recovery was corrupted, so I went back into bootloader and flashed CWM touch through fastboot.
Rebooted into recovery again, exact same problem. What gives?
Furthermore, every time I turn the phone off from that screen, it turns itself back on. I finally rectified that by turning it off, then holding vol- and powering down from bootloader.
What can I do?
EDIT: RESOLVED
fastboot erase cache fixed the whole thing!
I sold my old incredible to a kid. It sat for about 7months due to me upgrading to new phone. It had CM7 on it running fine when sold it. When he went to activate it, problems problems problems. I took it back him and told him I would fix it before paying me. I'm having troubles.
- No working recovery. can't get it to boot properly. I had the "5 vibrates of death" couple times.
- I'm trying a couple ruu's but when finished it will get to the lock screen, look normal, then reboot to lock screen then after a couple times will 5 vibrates then black screen.
1. I've tried [HOW-TO] Fix 5 vibrate and black screen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110865) I can seem to do the sdcard fix but not sure how to complete the usb fix or if that will even help me along. I can't "run terminal in anroid" because I can't get the Rom to boot up. All I can do is fastboot.... Compouter recognizes device.
2. I've tried multiple RUU's including PvilleComp's at http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22
3. I'm using hboot .92 and radio is 2.15.10.07.07 s-off
I realize problems like these have been asked before, I've looked through them, uesd the search button, etc.... But I'm still really stuck and would like to fix this before reimbursing kid money.
Thanks

Have you tried reflashing cwm recovery thru hboot? Then wipe everything and flash a rom.
Yes I did try this. Got CMW re-installed, and when I tried to select any option in recovery just goes to picture of hat and hangs there. I press power button and goes back to CMW main menu.
I also tried a fix from your post:

Not sure where you got those instructions or files from, but there not for the incredible.
Heres what you do.
Download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip, and put it on the root of your sdcard in no folders.
Pull the battery, reinsert, and press vol down +power for 5 secs then wait for 5 mins not touching anything.
Press vol up and then wait for 20 minutes touching nothing. The phone will reboot once during the process, this is normal just let it be.
Press vol up, the phone should reboot and come up being able to see things and boot to the os normally.

This is where I've gotten the furthest. Got thru HTC quietly brilliant. Droid animation (red computerized looking stuff), "Droid" sound, then got to lock screen. Sit there for 5sec or so then would reboot, do the same thing over again and get to lock screen. Reboot again, then usually "5 vibes of death"
The kid does not have a phone other than this one I'm trying to fix, and they would really like it fixed and in their hands by Friday.
I just tried re-installing CMW again, and just hangs on white HTC screen, doesn't even make it to CMW menu. This is kicking my butt.
Fruitcake? Back to stock? That worked on my phone once..not sure if it was sim or not

He would like back to stock. S-off or S-on. Root or no root. Just working properly.

What button are you using to select things in recovery? Pressinh power on the main menu brings up the orange hat, press the trackball to select items power to go back.
I have to admit I was using the power button (used to my Rezound) but now I cannot even get CMW to work. Flashed it with the .zip in hboot/bootloader. Tried both restart and not restart after running recovery update. Both ways, phone will just hang at white HTC screen and not enter CMW anymore. Sometimes screen goes black then back to white screen or just stays on white screen indefinitely.
Could a bad battery be causing this? I'm trying 2 different ones. I'm not sure if either are bad, just trying to troubleshoot. Is there a way to check battery health on a non-bootable phone?
Any other suggestions to try? Thanks everyone for your help. I'm giving this phone just a few more hours of me fussing with before it gets retired.
UPDATE:
after battery sitting on charger all day while at work (10hrs or so), tried to boot up phone. went well. got to OS right away. I let it sit for 1/2hr to see if it would reboot or not. it stayed alive. i tested making a phone call: OK. I browsed the the XDA website for less than 1 minute, it then rebooted on me. white HTC screen then black. white HTC. then black. white HTC then rebooted fine. couple seconds later shuts off again. this time the same white HTC then black 3 times same as before. then instead of rebooting, got the 5 vibes of death.
the phone while working also asked me to update to lastest android 4.08.605.2
i'm not sure which RUU i ran to get this far, but must have been an earlier.
so i guess now i will attempt the 5 vibes fix, that's if i can get the phone booted for long enough to install terminal emulator from market and follow the steps.
any ideas guys? thanks in advance.
i did the sd card fix and attempted 5 vibes fix: http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=33
pulled the battery. put it back in. powered on the phone. once the first white "HTC Droid Incredible" screen came up, I plugged phone into PC. instead of one audible ding from computer saying device connected, i recieved 3 very quick dings from PC and phone shuts off. no charging light indicator. if i single press power button, unresponsive still.
now i unplug device from PC, remove battery, put battery back in, hoping for it to reboot normally. instead i get white HTC then black. white HTC then black screen with no boot up.
I believe so far I've tried the GB RUU from PvilleComp and the RUU provided by cmlusco in my post #3.
I guess now I'll try the Froyo RUU from PvilleComp's site: http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22
It could be your battery, but usually the phone will just turn off not reboot. 4.08.605.2 does not have a PB31IMG.zip so you have to use an ruu exe, but that requires you to be able to boot. You could try the froyo PB31IMG and hope it works. My only other sugestion would be to try and upgrade your hboot to the new 1.02, and then use the htcdev site to unlock it. Then fastboot flash cwm recovery and hope you can access it.
i upgraded the hboot. unlocked via htc site. reinstalled CMW and was working fine. flashed ota stock GB. same problems still. i left him long enough without a phone, so the fixer project is ended.
thank you all for your help, greatly appreciated

No problem. Sounds like it may be a hardware issue.
Full story last evening I flashed Android Revolution HD 7.2.2. All went well.
Then I tried to flash sipersmooth Rossie and phone got stuck on boot animation.
Went to boot loader then tried to enter recovery but it was rebooting rather then entering recovery.
As such went to fastboot and flashed recovery again. Then I did rom upgrade again just did not do rossie mod.
All booted up and was fine all night, then all day. About 1h ago rebooted the phone to go to recovery and flash more stuff. Sadly phone did not go in to bootloader and is now stuck on Htc One logo. I tried rebooting it over and over with no luck. Phone seems to be charging when connected.
Can not do fastboot cache erase as can not go to bootloader via volume down button.
Any ideas?

Ok removed sim card (wanted to move ii to another phone) and phone rebooted but still stuck in HTC One screen. As last resolt pressed and held power button with volume down button pressed in. It rebooted one time, then second time and 3rd time went to bootloader.
Sadly I can not restore the android OS to working order and will have to re-flash it.

Thx man all fixed as forced it to bootloader. Rosie works well now all I had to do after 1st boot is to disable fastboot in settings. Takes ages to shutdown/boot up but works.
