Use the latest CWM recovery, has the ability to mount memory on USB, or install an RUU, and start all over again, both possible
And by the way, always have a custom ROM in your memory for this situations

Hmm... I have the CWM 5.8.3.1 (touch recovery). When i try to "Mount USB Storage" i get an error message reading
E: Unable to open UMS Lunfile(No such file or directory)
I also did try to Partition and format SD Card...
Should i use a different(lesser) version of the CWM recovery or a different recovery all together...

CWM 5.8.4.0 supports USB while in recovery under advanced tab. See
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
Might be worthwhile in the future keeping a rom you know works locally so if worst happens to can recover to it for the time being.
didnt' work for me
I was having the same problem. I updated my recovery to 5.8.4.0 and then cleared cache. Still stuck in boot loop. I can't get to the recovery to re-install rom. Any other suggestions?

You can always return to stock. Check CS's thread in dev section. Then you need to adb flash custom recovery & superuser, and you should be good.

Follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599767
Then, if you don't have adb & drivers, you need the download from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751796
From here all you need to do is adb push custom recovery & superuser. Don't downgrade via revolutionary.

it gets stuck on updating recovery it dors not go eny further than that
I have a htc desire that i used revolutionary to s-off and install a custom recovery...
however my center button is broken... is there a recovery that uses a different button to select
the options? or do i have to buy a new button for the phone even though i have never used it
(yes my track ball is dead, (really it is stuck in "down" so i disconnected it completely)
( got the phone used free and have been useing it for a while and never missed that button)
i have
revoluyionary cwm v4.0.1.4 and everything else about the phone is still stock.
cant even flash superuser.zip to root it.
thanks for any help
( is there a touch recovery for the desire ???)
(im not a total newbie but its my first htc phone and google has not helped with this question)
btw my phone is
bravo pvt4 ship s-off
hboot-6.93.1002
In my sig you will find a Partition guide. There you will find ways to install 4ext recovery touch. Try it.

i tried the pb99img.zip in the sd card method..
but it quickly flashes the screen where it checks and i think it says wrong file name..
i switch from fastboot to bootloader a few times and that is the best i can read...
ill keep reading. what i can
thank you for the reply and links
(btw im on a linux desktop not windows)
i get error
loading [PB99IMG.nbh]
no image or wrong image!
Hmm.. weird..
Are you rooted? Then use the app method.
Or use fastboot to flash it.

Hi,
I started having problems with my phone a few days ago and today I attempted to reset it. It's now stuck in a boot loop every time at the MIUI logo. I've tried flashing my ROM again but had no luck. When I go into recovery it does not recognize anything on my SD card. I have had this ROM installed for some time now. I have clockwork mod but it won't load! I just want to be able use my phone again. Any suggestions are appreciated!
My phone is an HTC Droid Incredible (original) and I am running MIUI 2.11.9
Best,
Doug

A little confused. You said when you go into recovery, then you say you have CWM, but it does not load. So can you get into recovery or not?
Re flash cwm or flash twrp, and then try to do a restore or flash a rom. If recovery still wont see your sdcard, then reformat it fat32 with a pc and try again.
I assume you tried to do a factory reset from the hboot menu and thats where the problem started?

I can only get into the factory recovery. It's not CWM.

So I checked the SD card using a friends phone and everything is normal. All CWM and MIUI files are still there. When I try to go through my phone however, my PC does not recognize the device.

Are you s-off, bootloader unlocked, or both? If so just flash cwm or twrp.

Yes, S-off and it should be unlocked. On the HBOOT screen there is no option to load the SD card. It's like my phone does not recognize it.

Use a pc to backup and then format the card fat32. Then download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.5.0.0/PB31IMG.zip and place it on the sdcard in no folders named exactly as it is (PB31IMG.zip). Boot to hboot and it should automaticly find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install.
Or use fastboot to flash this image http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.5.0.0/recovery.img.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Alright, so I was able to boot into recovery. However, when I try to flash a rom (I've tried two different versions of MIUI) it's stating that "some symlinks failed" and I am getting an error:
E:Error executing updater binary zip '?sdcard
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/MIUI.us_inc_v4.1.2.1
updating partition details
and then the flash fails.

Its because the rom zip has not been updated for twrp. Either learn how to mod the file, or you may want to flash cwm http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/ recovery instead.
