If you can get to the boot menu then its not bricked
Try reflashing the recovery from there

Try using unrevoked, and make sure your in hboot when u plug it in
If that doesn't work I believe your other option is adb but I know nothing of using it

Assuming you have a way to get the file onto your sdcard (like plugging it directly into your computer), you can flash the recover image from hboot. I am not sure where you can get the plane jane clockwork recovery, but you can get the slightly modified clockwork recovery with easy scrolling enabled from the thread linked below. That should at least get you up and running again and then you can flash back the regular CW Recovery from Rom Manager if you don't like the easy scroll version.
Instructions for flashing from hboot are also in the thread.

You guys are missing that hes S-on, which means he cant flash from hboot.

I saw it but was guessing he meant s-off because of the way he said it. Hopefully unrevoked worked for him then as I don't think you have to have s-off for it to work.
Other option would be to flash a stock RUU from hboot. That should work even if he is s-on.

Either way. He's got hboot, which means its not a brick
to the OP
If nothing else works,
I agree with sdorn. RUU is the way.
Thats what will fix your issues.
If you cant get to recovery and you have S-on, meaning that you cannot flash a custom recovery, your only option is to RUU. There is a link in android development. You will need a windows computer. Try this and report back. If it doesnt work and gives you a USB error, simply: 1. Exit the ruu program (KEEP YOUR PHONE PLUGGED IN), and 2. Run it again.
Boom, no more brick
but, hours worth of retweaking.

You could also try to run a update.zip of the OTA. Here is the url to download it.

thanks, but the incredible is s-on and I cant access to the recovery for the update . Im trying to figure how to do the RUU that fretless said.

This update there is no need to have s-off, you can do out with s-on. It is the official ota update from verizon. Just download it, put out on the your of your sd card, then power phone up while holding the power button and volume down button. It should recognoize the file and ask you if you want to install. This is easier than the RUU and just as effective.

He can't get into recovery, so he can't apply the update. He's got to ruu.

1. Download the update.zip file from here. (DIRECT FROM GOOGLE.)
2. Drop the file on the root of your SD card. (Meaning, don’t put it in any folder.)
*MAKE SURE IT’S NAMED UPDATE.ZIP!
3. Turn your phone off.
4. Press and hold the Volume Down and Power at the same time to boot into HBOOT.
5. When the white HBOOT screen appears, use the volume button to move down to “RECOVERY.”
6. Press the Power button to select “RECOVERY.”
7. When the triangle and exclamation appears, hold the Volume Up and Power button at the same time.
8. Using the volume button, scroll down to “apply sdcard:update.zip” and select it.
9. Your phone will now update!
10. It could take some time, so be patient. When it reboots, you are on official 2.2. Yay!

Unrevoked drivers don't play nice with the ruu.

Follow above posters to RUU to 2.2 stock.
UnRevoked 3.2 will give you root and CWM.

stuck in hboot, can't get to recovery...

So i wanted to get the new cm7 up and running. went into hboot and noticed that i still had .77 or something like that, remember reading that i should upgrade to .92. went back into the phone, downloaded .92, installed it....ever since then i haven't been able to reboot the phone into anything...besides hboot. it won't go into recovery. it won't do a normal reboot. it's hboot or nothing. this phone isn't the only contact with my family at home during the day that i have. so if anyone can help me i'd be very appreciative. If it involved adb...i would need exact lines of code. i've never messed with it, so its not in my bag of tricks. the phone was having issues with boot times for the last couple of days, but it always wound up booting up. well i've been waiting on it to boot up into recovery for 10 min now, and i don't think my luck for the day is about to get any better. did battery pulls, still nothing.
any info or help at all would be GREATLY appreciated.

Did hboot upgrade or not? How are you trying to get into recovery?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

it says it did. at the top of the hboot screen it says .92.000 and i'm just going to the recovery option from hboot. it won't boot the phone or into recovery though. just sits on the white htc screen, for 6 hours now.

When you update HBOOT, it can bork your boot.img. Reflash CWM and then restore a nandroid and you should be fine.

how do i reflash cwm when it won't even let me into recovery? i can update pb13img...thats abt it from what i can tell. lol.

Hboot automatically recognizes the pb12img... It's the first thing it does.
Put the file on the root of the SD card (not in any folders), boot into the Hboot and let it do it's thing.
your sd card NEEDS to be formatted to fat32 though.

Recovery is flashed from HBOOT via a PB31IMG.zip, not from within itself. You can use the PB31IMG.zip that I've linked to below.

Help!!! I may have bricked my Evo

Ok so heres the deal, I used unrevoked about a week about to root my EVO and disable the security. I had some problems trying to install a custom rom via the recover program or rom manager. Last night I was messing with it and I set my phone down to go do something and my little brother got a hold of my phone while it was in recovery. He managed to wipe my sd card which had my backup files on the card. Now I cant restore the phone and I cant get a rom to load on my phone. What can I do Im dying without my phone.

Help Please!!! I can get into recovery and bootloader.
It Shows S-Off
HBOOT - 2.10.0001
Touch Panel ATMEL224_16ab
Radio-2.15.00.11.19
October 15, 2010
Oh and Hardware version I believe was 0002
I tried to instal another ROM but I get an error from clockwork about being outdated and Amend Script no longer supported. What do I do?

First, download the PC36IMG.zip for amon_RA. You can get it here. Place the file on the root of your SD card and flash from the bootloader. Installation takes around 10 seconds and yes, the bootloader will autodetect the file. Before doing so, put the rom you want to flash on the SD card. If you want a rooted stock rom, i recommend downloading the ODEXED version from here. After you've flashed amon_RA, reboot into your new recovery, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it EXCEPT the SD card. Afterwards, flash the rom and you should be good to go.

I have tried that multiple times and It will not detect and load it. It just says something like invalid or no image. If I enable S-On again can I return the phone for warranty replacement?

If you can get into recovery... choose the option to mount via USB (2nd choice I think) use that to transfer a ROM to your sd card and flash it...
Edit: oh you're on clockwork... I'm pretty sure my ROM will flash through clockwork even with new versions... find my Rom...skyraider for evo 4g in the development section and try to flash it...

Double check to make sure the file is not named PC36IMG.ZIP.zip and make sure you didn't download the file ending in .img. If you did, you will have to flash it via ADB. The correct file should work. THIS is the correct file.

And get rid of ROM Manager.
Make sure the pc36img.zip file isn't named pc36img.zip.zip, too
You can also run RUU and restore it to stock and start over

No doubt! You do not need it.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.

If you can't get amon ra to flash, the key for you is finding a ROM that still uses the old script styles...
Search for ROMs from early this year or late last year... just to get you up and running. Once you're running, use ROM manager to flash alternate recovery ( bottom of Rom managers list) and stick with amon

Ok I think it loaded when I got into bootloader there was a little bar on the right side that loaded up to the top and finished. It never asked me it just did it. Now my problem is it says S-On instead of S-Off and I can only get to bootloader and recovery

Flashing amon_RA should not have returned your device to S-ON, but being that you are, you can either flash a ruu or unroot again and flash whatever rom you like.

[Q] Trouble returning to stock

I am trying to return my father's evo to stock. It was rooted with CM7 stable on it. I have run through the RUU method but when the phone restarts it boots and then when the lock screen is unlocked the phone just restarts.
I have used the most current RUU, the first one list and a couple others. I have also tried placing the PC36img file and letting that update but upon restarting it just vibrates 5 times.

Well what hboot is he on? You need to use the correct firmware for the hboot.
2.10 = 3.70 and 2.16 = 4.24

That is the correct one, the first link. Though when running it, you need to:
-boot into the bootloader, select fastboot
-connect phone to pc via usb cable
-once fastboot usb shows up in blue, run the exe on the pc
Did you do that?

Since its still s-off you can try re-flashing the hboot [can be found in the radio, wimax, ect thread in the dev section] and then try to re-run the RUU. I have seen that fix similar issues in the past.

Okay.
1. Try it again ; it happens sometimes to a lot of people where it does that the first time, then works the second
2. Boot into the bootloader, do a clear storage, then try the PC36IMG again.
Let me know if neither work.

Go to unrevoked.com and they have a the right tools to unroot and an s-on tool

I had HTC Sync installed. I actually just uninstalled it per the unrevoked directions. The RUU completed but the phone just restarts when I try to swype to unlock it or if I wait long enough it will just restart on its own. I can't flash the S-on tool without a custom recovery installed, since running the RUU method removed the custom recover is that correct? I have tried to boot into the recovery via the hboot method and that just results in 5 vibrations.

are you able to use the phone.. can you install Clockworkmod recovery App?

Right now I am unable to the phone just keeps restarting after each boot. If i can get it to stop rebooting I will try to install clockwork recovery.
I am actually going to try an reinstall htc sync, reboot my comp, then rerun the RUU and hopefully that will stabilize the reboots.

Rooting Issue....again

Alright i had to get a new Dinc 2 because my lights for the bottom control buttons quit working. So i am trying to root again but i have to downgrade from android 2.3.4 to 2.2.1 with the file PG32IMG.zip. So i do that and now everytime i try to get into my recover after i push everything to my phone i get into the hboot and it does that scan thing it does, and then it just keeps trying to apply that PG32IMG file. And if i try to delete the file after i'm downgraded i can boot into hboot everything works fine but when i select recover it acts like it wants to go into it and then i get the screen with the phone and the exclamation point which im guessing means bricked. but i can reboot my phone and it works just phone. Is there anything i can do??

Did you use revolutionary exploit to root. It sounds as if you don't have a custom recovery installed.
If you are rooted then install Tom manager from market and flash recovery or download 4ext updater and install 4ext recovery. Then try to boot into recovery.

As far as the yellow triangle that is the stock recovery built into the Android operating system. You aren't bricked.

No. Try to redo the ruu. Then root using revolution (well try to). Then download rom manager and check you recovery. When ever I ruu I will always reflash recovery through rom manager. Although I have switched to 4ext recovery.
