MY dinc can boot up but gets stuck at boot screen.
I can get into recovery but even after I do a recovery it still is the same.
It says *** LOCKED (OOW) *** at the top of HBOOT screen. How do I go about fixing this?

Have you tried wiping everything thru recovery, and then installing the rom fresh, instead of restoring a backup just to see if it works?
There's a factory reset in stock recovery. Try that. It sounds like you're not rooted so I expect you'd have stock recovery.

I have tried both of those options and neither one worked for me. I have clockworkmod installed.
I assume in order to get cwm on there in the first place you had to unlock the bootloader. However you posted that it says locked oow at the top of hboot, meaning somehow it got locked again. Im assuming or should i say guessing that the bootloader being locked again is preventing cwm from flashing things correctly. If you have unlocked before and still have the unlock_code.bin file, use fastboot to flash it to the phone to unlock it again. Then fastboot flash cwm again and see if it works. If you do not have the bin file i would do the htc dev unlock again on their site and then fastboot flash cwm.

Hi everyone. I'm having some problems with my Recovery which I can't seem to figure out:
I tried to mod my phone with CM6.1 the other day using ROM Manager. ROM downloaded and started to install, no problems. When it tried to boot up again, it got stuck in a loop at the CM loading screen. When I tried to reboot in to Clockword Mod Recovery, all I got was a picture of a phone with a triangle (can't remember which colour - think it was green). Eventually I realised that was a stock recovery and managed to get my phone restored to my backup but I can't seem to get my recovery to go to anything but the stock one. Rom Manager reports Clockwork Recovery reports ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 installed and I've tried using Rom Manager, Android Commander and UnrEVOked to flash ClockworkMod and Amon-Ra and nothing works - I'm still at the built-in recovery.
Now, If I boot in to recovery, I get the red triangle and a message on screen stating "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command".
If I do use the built-in recovery to flash ClockworkMod as an update.zip, ClockworkMod launches but when I reboot, it's gone again and I'm back to stock.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
"Android Commander and UnrEVOked to flash ClockworkMod and Amon-Ra and nothing works" make sure youre trying to flash a .img file
"Clockwork Recovery reports ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 installed" that because the recovery (.zip) is saved on the SDCARD. When booting Recovery from ROM Manager, youre fake-flashing the file (.zip)
"If I do use the built-in recovery to flash ClockworkMod as an update.zip, ClockworkMod launches but when I reboot, it's gone again and I'm back to stock." thats fake-flashing
what HBOOT are you on??
EDIT: You should S-OFF your Desire "http://alpharev.nl/".
WARNING: When using S-OFF your flashing a custom HBOOT. If that goes wrong, it may brick your Desire. If you use S-OFF, then you can flash a permanent recovery using fastboot
Thanks Chris. Any idea why it would have reverted though? I used to have a permanent version of ClockworkMod until the other week
Edit: HBOOT just says 0.80.0000 and has 3 androids on skateboards

Go back to stock, download the original ruu for you phone. After that try rooting again.
Rats - had a feeling that may be the answer. Think I'll be able to restore a backup?

I fake-flash all the time. I once messed up a ROM's installation and got stuck because it messed up the recovery too.
The loop startup is probably caused by older cache from your previous ROM. Just boot up recovery again, clear cache and restore factory settings and then flash your CM again. Should do the trick.

Flashed my HBOOT with AlphaRev - those guys are brilliant, coding that!
Thank you for your help!
Bingo!
Think I've nailed it now!
I used Fastboot Commander [v.1.0] to flash Amon-RA which took and stayed!
To confirm: I installed AlphaRev bootloader to S-OFF then Fastboot Commander to flash Amon-RA. Hopefully, I'll now be able to flash Clockwork Recovery again (as I use Rom Manager) and be back up and running!
Think I may skip CM6.1...
I have an EVO 4G that's stuck in a bootloop. It was previously rooted (Hboot displays S-off) but there doesn't appear to be any recovery installed. It gets stuck at the white HTC screen and then reboots infinitely.
I tried flashing Amon_Ra via hboot, but when I actually reboot and select recovery, it goes back into a bootloop.
I tried installing clockwork and Amon_Ra via fastboot but it wouldn't work, there was an error about remote commands not being allowed.
I tried reflashing with an RUU (RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.40_release_140444_signed) and it flashes 100% with no problems, but then goes back into bootloop.
As far as I can remember, I've exhausted most of my known options. Is there any hope for getting this thing out of bootloop, or is it pretty much a softbrick?

I would try selecting clear storage from the bootloader.
http://www.mediafire.com/?gijd69zb5222w > download the recovery and version you want, name it to PC36IMG, then place on the root of your sd card, and flash in the bootloader.
Thanks for the reply. I tried Clockwork 3 and Recovery 3.70, both still resulted in the bootloop. I guess something is just wrong with this phone's recovery, I've tried several different recoveries. I can't even really unroot it since I can't get into recovery to flash unrevoked s-on.

Well what you can do is flash a PC36IMg of a 3.70 ruu, flash in the bootloader, technically unrooted, though you have s-off, then try again.
I can't remember which RUU I used, but it flashed hboot 0.93, which I was able to downgrade to 0.76 for fastboot command support. I've flashed recovery manually using fastboot commands and still no dice. I'm guessing there's some kind of hardware issue with this device that's preventing it from properly flashing and/or loading the recovery.
On another random note, is there any way to get adb via hboot or fastboot? When in fastboot, the phone shows up as "My HTC" under ADB Interface, but only fastboot commands work, not adb commands.
And also, what does the hboot usb driver do? I have it installed, but I can't actually figure out what functionality it has.
Im not able to get in recovery anymore. if i select in bootloader recovery my device hangs in a boot loop.
Is it possible that i have lost root?
Please i need your help.
My device is s-off
hboot is 6.93.1002

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?
Hello,
Today I used HTC's sponsored method to unlock the bootloader. My hope was to load CM7 onto my phone. I did something wrong and now the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen just loops.
My phone is NOT rooted. I can still access the HBOOT menu though and connect it to my computer.
I am also able to run CWM recovery v6.0.1.1.
Is my phone bricked or can I still load a stock image/custom image?
Thanks!
If you can get to the hboot menu, you aren't bricked yet. Did you flash the kernel? If you htcdev unlocked, you need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip, boot into the bootloader and run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" from a command prompt/terminal on your computer.

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.

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.
