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.

You can get the clockwork recovery from unrevoked.com on the forever part.

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.
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.

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.

I am actually going to try an reinstall htc sync, reboot my comp, then rerun the RUU and hopefully that will stabilize the reboots.
I spent all night downgrading to froyo, when I was finally at 2.2 I used the visionary method to get temp root, that worked fine, when I tried to get permanent root I couldnt get s-off so I started following another guide here:

I followed all the steps and when I typed in reboot the phone rebooted and got stuck at the htc screen. I tried to turn it on with vol- and power and go into recovery but I got a black screen with a phone and error message, then it rebooted back to the htc screen and is still stuck there.
Please help! this is my only phone and I need it fixed asap

what is your main problem
the problem is it wont load past the htc logo screen
Get a copy of the 2.2 PC10IMG.zip and reboot into your bootloader (Vol. Down + Power). If the bootloader can flash it, you should be able to boot normally. Go to the CyanogenMod Wiki and root using Rage/Gfree.

So I believe the HBOOT is corrupted, but I'm not 100%. When I boot, I can get into HBOOT, when I try to boot to recovery, factory reset, or anything but fastboot and reboot, I get the white HTC Incredible screen, then a black screen with two white stripes down either side.

Yes you can flash hboots thru your current hboot as a PB31IMG.zip. You can get the hboots here http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/. However i dont think thats going to fix your problem, it sounds like you may have the wrong version of cwm installed. What version are you currently on and is your screen amoled or slcd?
Not sure if this matters but they have an unlocked hboot as per their other thread.
Edit: disregard my previous RUU comment.

Oh, if your on the new hboot there is no way to downgrade it. So you would have to try to reflash the new hboot again.
Understood. How will that affect S-ON vs off and the unlocked bootloader?
Also, how can I re-flash to the newest HBOOT as you suggest?

If you are s-off you will stay s-off. If your s-on you will stay s-on and can root with my tutorial. Even with an unlocked bootloader it will still say s-on or off. I do not have an hboot only image in hand, when i get to my pc i will make one. Or you could just do the ruu from the htvdev unlock site. That will reflash the hboot and the entire system.
EDIT: Here is a PB31IMG.zip of hboot 1.02, http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.02/PB31IMG.zip. Place the file on your sdcard in no folders, boot into hboot and it should automaticly find the file and prompt you to press vol up to update.
HBOOT 1.02.0000 correct? Just want to be sure. If that's the one, I'll re flash right away. Thanks for all the help!!

Can't get to RECOVERY. I can get it to boot into HBOOT, as soon as I select anything else it goes to the black screen. First shows the white HTC Incredible screen, then it goes black. Seems like it errors out because the white stripes look like the edges of the prior white screen. Can I use adb to push recovery straight to the first HBOOT screen?

I was actually wondering about this. Sorry to sidetrack but know if it can do fastboot erase or fastboot flash? If so I want to get it setup on my Dinc to simplify kernel testing.

So you cant select fastboot from the hboit menu either? The only other way i know but not sure if it would work for you is to try to boot normaly and when it gets to the white screen where it gets stuck keep trying to enter adb reboot bootloader and see if it will connect. If it works it will take you to hboot with fastboot usb already enabled.
I can get to FASTBOOT from HBOOT.
So, get to FASTBOOT and then, in adb... I can make the logical jump that far, I'm not making the connection after that though.

If you can get to fastboot then do this
Download cwm recovery.img http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/recovery.img and place it on your pc in the same folder as the fastboot.exe file.
Open a cmd prompt on your pc while in hboot with fastboot selected and then type " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ".
Ps your hboot does still say unlocked at the top right?
Never mind. Pushed recovery. Rebooting now.
Edit: beautiful!! got it. Thank you, AGAIN, for all the help. XDA community in general, and especially cmlusco!

Yes it seems with 1.02 you get all the extended commands. I do have the 0.77 eng bootloader, which allows the same commands. I dont think you can downgrade from 1.02 now, even with s-off i may be wrong. I have been reluctant to upgrade to 1.02, not sure why, and instead just flash back to the eng hboot if i need the extended commands. Hope you get the 5 vibes worked out.

I was good on that after a battery pull. Should be able to sowngradw. As boot loader is unlocked.

Look at you with your fancy phone without spell check.
I also upgraded mine (just did the PB31IMG.zip through HBOOT), and I luckily did not get the 5 vibes.

Ha. I saw the typo and didn't want to bother fixing it.
Just curious if you did an unlock and flashed the stock recovery prior. If you didn't unlock (wipes data) then you don't have to mess with recovery.

Nope, just flashed it in HBOOT, and rebooted back to HBOOT to verify it took.
I just got an HTC one from Best Buy Mobile (Verizon) yesterday. Turned S-Off using runrunner. Verified root but can not access recovery. I had the same issue with a S4 but it was a known issue for all that has updated to the 4.3.
I have tried all the suggestions in flashing TWRP. I am wondering if this is a Verizon related issue? Maybe they are putting something on their phones to prevent recovery?
HELP!!!!
Something is really jacked up with my phone. It kept saying Unfortunately Amazon has stopped. Over and over again. So I gave up and went to do a factory restore and data wipe. I first went to Super user and removed permanent root. I then tried to do a factory wipe through settings/backup & reset reset phone. It still gave me issues trying to enter recovery mode. It would get hung up and then reboot to a sort of safe mode version of the OS. (with a red disclaimer at the bottom). Then I tried to do factory reset by holding the volume down and power. Its doing the same thing. At this point I don't are about root I just want a working phone.
Any suggestions?
Flash twrp from the xda thread here and then flash arom. What exactly are you doing to flash it?

I have tried flashing a recovery. Now I dont have root and cant do anything. It will not let me even upgrade firmware. I tried to get it back to stock. My recovery is jacked up.

OK, so you are s-ff, is your bootloader unlocked?
IF you are not on stock recovery YOU CANNOT run an update
I'm s-off bootloader unlocked. I have no recovery. Not even stock.

.. you have to have a recovery..
I think?
can you successfully fastboot flash a custom recovery? If not can you fastboot the stock recovery..?
To be completely honest, I would just run the RUU. should fix you right up
You could boot into RUU and flash the decrypted stock rom zip to get back to straight stock. The zip reflashes stock recovery. I don't see why that wouldn't work.
Edit: Oops. Didn't even notice andy just recommended the same thing lol. My fault.

Thats odd, i thought you had to have a recovery of some kind.
Here is what I would do:
Lets try Flashing CWM instead of TWRP in fastboot I will post it, and I will also post the stock recovery there to as well.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kk2esdrx1g1b50p/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7vzw.img
the image is easily installed via an unlocked bootloader with the following command:
fastboot flash recovery imagename.img
in this case: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7vzw.img
See if it actually takes, and report back any errors.
If for some reason it does not, try booting into bootloader/fastboot then push the stock recovery:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hgzgq84svzahvnv/htconerecovery_signed.img
Hopefully that will at least take and try to push CWM again , reboot bootloader and reboot into recovery . I am hoping that does it for you.
Go here: http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip and dump SU on the root of your SD card and flash the SU.
I have seen people have all kind of weird issues with rum runner and I am just glad i had the official java card method used on mine. I also tend to just use a stock ROM which is just de-bloated.
Anyways I have used Santod040 roms in case i need to go back to pure stock ROM only: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319
You will need the odex one to run any OTA
The firmware is a different thing to flash.

Thanks guys!
I was able to install TWRP and also Superuser.
Here are the instructions I used. Maybe they will help someone else like me.
Power off your device, then press and hold Power and Volume Down until you're in the bootloader menu. Highlight FASTBOOT and press Power. You should see Fastboot USB highlighted in red.
Download the latest version of TWRP for your phone and carrier. Rename file to twrp.img.
Open a command prompt on your computer and navigate to your SDK directory. Type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and hit Enter.
Then I backed up my stock rom using TWRP
In TWRP's main menu, tap Reboot. It will tell you that you're not rooted and ask you to install SuperSU, so swipe to confirm. When you reboot your phone, you should see a notification that you need to install the SuperSU app. Open the notification and select TWRP, since the app from Google Play only works with S-OFF.
Worked flawlessly.
I installed NuSenseONE max and I love it so far.

how else were you trying to flash a recovery ?!?
Goo.im app as well as ROM Manager, ROM Toolbox can flash recoveries. I've notice there isn't much compatibility with the m7vzw though. You can also use terminal command's from the device. All of these require root access though.

Hey everyone, so my problem is that i did run rumrummer the way it said on the directions and i double checked my rom version type countless times. It says that i am unlocked and s-off, but i cant access recovery. I tried flashing recovery with fastboot command prompt, and still no luck. It gives me a "error: cannot open 'open.img', I navigated to the folder that it is located in and executed the command properly every time. I also dont know how to flash superuser using flashboot, so any help will be very much appreciated. Also I'm kinda new to rooted, I have some experience from a few years back, but dont remember everything.

place the name.img file in the same folder as the adb and fastboot executables, open command prompt as administrator for that directory, then type "fastboot flash recovery name.img" substitute name.img for the actual name of the file including extension and make sure there are no quotes around it. also, use "fastboot devices" or "adb devices" to make sure your phone is being recognized.
I got it to work, finally. Thanks for the reply pointedge. I beat u to it earlier in the day and forgot to post up again that I got it. It was like u said, I just had the file in the wrong folder.

I'm willing to bet he flashed the wrong recovery. It's happened to a lot of people.
