Can't get into Recovery

I've readseveral threads over and over trying to find a solution to my problem. I was trying to flash a ROM and did the required data and cache wipe. After I downloaded the ROM The phone rebooted and now it stuck on HTC boot screen. I pulled the battery and press the volume down and power button to get into recovery. Once I get into recovery and it loads I get asked if I want to update RADIO_V2 and I can select yes or no. Well I tried both and no luck I can not get into recovery the option is not there. Here is my phone recovery info:
VisionPVT ENG S-off
HBOOT-0.76.2000 (PC1010000)
Microp-0425
Radio-26.08.04.16_M
eMMC-boot

Any help please or am I Bricked?

You have the ENG HBOOT installed...that's a good thing. So, this will allow you to reflash the recovery image from fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img

You need to delete the update zip or pc10img. zip on your sd card. I think its not letting you go through recovery because its reading something in your sdcard.

Flashing not working

I've downloaded several different ROMs today, and moved them to /sdcard. I wipe the phone and the cache, and then go to "install zip from sdcard" on Clockworkmod recovery. I've done this several times, and Virtuous Quattro is still here. I'm fairly certain I rooted my phone and everything when I initially installed VQ, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
(Please keep in mind I'm still relatively new to all this phone business.)

well if you don't get any error and, as it sounds, you are doing everything right. I would assume there is an issue with your recovery, I suggest flashing a new one, also I would suggest using 4ext recovery over clockworks as it is superior in many ways.
go to the 4ext website and grap the .img
boot into fastboot
fastboot -w
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
now reboot to recovery and perform a full wipe, make sure all is partitioned to ext4 (except fat32 partition of sd)
flash rom of choice
any questions feel free to ask

I should have mentioned I switched to 4ext. Also, I've done a full wipe and flashed the ROM, but still no.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using xda app-developers app

so even after a full wipe and flash of the rom, you boot back to os and its the same as before, as if you didn't do anything?
and you get no error codes? and you switched to 4ext recovery and it sucessfully changed to it but you get the same problems as you did with clockwork?
is all this correct?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Reformat your phone through 4EXT. It's under the same menu as wipe.

Sent from my HTC Desire Z using xda app-developers app

reformat everything except the fat32 partition of sd card, then for safe messure wipe everything and reboot, if you don't get stuck @ the white htc screen then something is wrong (this should wipe your os completley so you won't be able to boot) if it goes into os after a full wipe/reformat then I suggest logging into irc freenode #g2root and get some realtime help
if you do get stuck @ htc screen the pull battery boot to recovery and flash rom of choice

I do indeed get stuck at the HTC screen, but none of the ROMs but VQ is working. Could it be that I downloaded them on my phone and transferred them to /sdcard?

check the md5sums of the roms you are trying to flash, make sure you follow all instructions in the op of those roms, (md5 should be listed where you downloaded and inside 4ext there is an option in the menu to check the sum)

there is no any problems with SpeedDroid, if you fully wiped your device and it struck on beats screen try to remove battery and boot again.

Tried it so many times...
Also find out that there is no way to install a working recovery but only CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6 through a recovery script..
So i've unziped the script..
The only difference is that before flash it uses :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader

I think the problem is with the htcdev unlock..so i'm looking for an alternative unlock method to test!

make sure you at getting the one for marvel and not marvelc if your phone has a sim card. may be the issue may not but worth checking. or if your phone doesn't have a sim card you need marvelc.

I have a sim card and i use only marvel roms and recoveries!

After a long day i've managed to install CWM recovery v5.0.2.8
After that rooted the phone using root.zip from xda.cn script and cwm!
Installed rom manager from market
And finally followed the guide
Black screen recovery guide
I've managed to install the rom at the guide and working properly!!!
BUT i still get black screen on recovery as usual!
The next step is to try install speedDroid!!!

glad you got something working.

[Q] weird problem flashing roms

Hi guys, I open this to try to find a solution to a problem that's affecting my desire since years..at first I thought was a rom related problem, but now I think it might be something else.
Here is the link to my other topic with all my phone details http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328353 only change is stock Samsung 4gb SD.
Now let's talk about weird things happening..
I was on official GB with s-off and root by revolutionary.
I've changed the recovery (cwmr) with the latest 4ext recovery & so far is working like a charm, reformatted sd, done wipe all partitions except SD after mounting everything mountable, done these steps 4 or 5 times then reboot to recovery, done the same then reboot to boot loader, flashed hboot stock with pb99img file, reboot to recovery, flashed cyanomod007 reboot..phone boots up, green HTC logo on white screen, cyanogen animation, setup wizard and..got stuck on change language..same thing with a miui rom 4..and weird things are that flashing hboot is the only way to make a rom boot and other one is that i've to flash wit battery charger plugged in..wth is going on?last time with miui I was able to go through first settings and then stuck on lock screen..any idea?

And your bootloader is unlocked? Also, you're flashing the ROM zip from recovery first, then flashing the boot.img from fastboot, right?

In that case I would suggest that you flash a RUU and see if that works. You will need to relock the bootloader for that.
