hello all, my first post.
I have incredible, rooted, with cyanogenmod 7. it has been working as normal for months and months. the other day, it just got stuck in the boot animation. i hadn't changed anything, system tweaks, etc, right before this.
i hold volume down and press power, and it goes to bootloader mode. normally here, i can select RECOVERY, and then goes to the black screen, where i could do many things, drastic as wipe the phone, reinstall cyanogenmod, g-apps, etc.
whats my problem now, is that when i hold power down and power and get to the white recovery screen, if i select RECOVERY, it doesnt go where it used to. it goes to the OTHER white screen where choices are, REBOOT, POWER DOWN, etc. So i select to go into recovery mode (the black screen) but it never goes there now. Always did before. Just goes to that next white screen, letting me reboot and start the cycle over again. I've tried with no SC card, no difference.
I found a post someone giving specific directions to format sd card, put radio update only on card, and boot with that in phone. I did, and it successfully said it updated, but still nothing has changed.
I cant get into recovery mode, to reformat, wipe, run any updates, nothing. I've tried so many times i can't even guess. I think it has become a brick. But I finally posted here hoping i may find some advice.
Anyone have any ideas of what i can do, if i can get into recovery mode?
if this helps, this all the info on the white screen - holding power down and powering on:
HBOOT-0.92.0000
MICORP-0417
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac
RADIO-2.15.00.0000

Have you tried installing the latest recovery through ROM manager? I've no idea why this would have happened but if we can get you there. We can fix it

Flash this thru hboot. It the latest cwm recovery. You are s-off right?
http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip
Also the radio version you posted above 2.15.00.0000, is that a typo? I have never seen that radio version before.

ok that update worked! because its been a minute, and i'm so hyped to fix this, i am proceeding with extra extra caution; so, remind me what to choose here - i just don't want to get back into that loop. If i need to wipe phone's data, that's fine. My phone will be working and that makes me ecstatic!

S-off is security off. It allows you to flash images not signed by HTC. At the top of the hboot screen it should say either s-on or s-off. If it let tou flash cwm recovery you are s-off.
Yes enter recovery, wipe everything in mounts and storage and either flash a stock ruu thru hboot, or flash a rom of your choosing. Do not choose aply update.zip choose install from sdcard, and select your roms zip file.
I would also flash a new radio thru hboot, as i have never seen that version of radio for the incredible. http://dinc.does-it.net/Radios.

ok, so here's where I'm at now:
updated radio via hboot via last link posted. i can now get to recovery screen, which is awesome, but - i can select any of the options and select one, and then it goes to a black screen with the ROM manager hat logo, with a yellow arrow under it. The arrow does not move or rotate, as if it was processing my command. it just sits idle on that logo forever.
i can hit power to go back to the recovery menu, and selecting nothing, well, does anything!
any ideas? just far your replies have gotten me past the loop i was in, so i eagerly hope there's more input for me now as to why none of the options in recovery screen process when i select them, they just go to a logo with the hat and an arrow (remember, the arrow isn't moving at all).
btw its ClockworkMod Recovery v 5.0.2.0
thanks again,
ben
p.s. - my updated radio is 2.05.00.06.11 now, if that is important.

Do not use the power button to select items in recovery. Use the vol keys to navigate, the trackball to select, and the power button goes back.
same thing
i had the exact same thing just last week - stuck on bootloop with cyanogen 7. I tried some stuff for a little but ended up just switching to an ICS rom. which I am much happier with and would highly recommend.
right now im using ICS-Deck AOKP "Ice Cream Sandwich"

thank you for helping me out. every post helped, and i got my old faithful incredible up and running!
completely awesome.
thanks.
p.s. in recovery, pressing trackball to select, i would never have tried. amazing sometimes the simplest things can slow us down. many thanks!

Can you enter recovery? If so wipe everything in mounts and storrage except emmc and sdcard, and then restore a known good backup or flash a rom fresh. If that dosent work i would do an ruu.
Can he do a ruu from Fastboot or hboot or cwmi thought he had to be able fully boot to use ruu.

He can do a PB31IMG.zip ruu through hboot. To do the ruu.exe with a pc you need to be able to boot to enable usb debuging i think.
i was able to do all the listed in this thread. but after 2 days of searching i still can't find a good solution for formatting /data, I get an error everytime and cm7 is the only rom that I can boot on my dinc. however when i think i have fresh flash, some of my old apps are still there.
if i ruu i get stuck on the red eye screen and the phone reboots.
I'm at a loss

i am root with s-off

i just rooted with s on and i flashed a custom recovery then rebooted. htc logo came up, and then a black screen its been like an hour with the black screen and it wont boot. i know that normally its takes a long time to boot a fresh rom but this is ridiculous. and i made sure that i flashed a cdma rom marvelc. what do i do!!
i can still boot into the boot loader though
Dude im no expert in HTC phones but you had to turn s-off when rooting your phone. If you made a nandroid backup your in luck reflash your stock rom back and this time root with s-off and enjoy flashing plz hit the thanks button if i helped.

Boot into hboot with volume down + power. Scroll down to recovery and push power to enter it. All going well you should go into your recovery. If you get a red triangle with an ! Then you still have the stock recovery.
OK now scroll down and make a back UP!!! After that factory reset the device, wipe cache, dalvik cache. Data. Everything aside from your sdcard. Then reboot the device. This should get your device operational again. Reboot should take no longer than 15 minutes.
After that choose a custom rom to flash, or just go about setting up the phone as you want.
When you go to flash a new rom make sure you back up first, then wipe everything bar SD card. Then install the rom and reboot.
Good luck pal

actually when i was rooting the recovery wasnt working for me the tool tried to made me go into recovery but i was stuck at the htc logo. but the tool also offered to install twrp or clockworkmod i installed clock and still wont stuck at the htc logo so i tried twrp and it worked and then i got rooted.
i think i might be twrp that doesnt install roms right.
also i installed a rom it worked but no wifi and wifi was the most important tool for me so the rom is ussless to me

Thank you you for replying but I did some experimenting around and I found out that the clockwork mod was a marvel recovery
I have a marvelc wildfire so I went to rezo609 folder and found the recovery img and replaced it with a clockwork marvelc img.
Then I opened the prompt selected install clockwork mod, it installed
Then I went to recovery, worked and installed the cm9 rom (marvelc) and gapps and It successfully worked
You were probably right its beta so it has some bugs
But thank you all who tried to help me I really appreciate it
Sorry I just started so I deleted the URL
no problem buddy always happy to help.
Hey!
I decided to install a new custom ROM. I went from Revolution HD and tried Viper v2.0, after installing it, my phone has been refusing to boot. (I used Revolution HD Super wipe before installing Viper v2.0) It freezes at "htc quietly brilliant" and stays there and doesnt do anything. Ive jumped into bootloader several times, first i tried the obvious and start Recovery. But everytime I press recovery i can see the "Clockwork recoverymode" for about 0.5 seconds, then some sort of loading and then it reboots and goes back to the startup screen and stays there. Ive alos tried the factory reset, but that didnt work either, so now im wondering what to do and im a little worried.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks alot!

And ye, my phone booted about twice, i got to the lock screen i tried to unlock, then it froze and died.
Have you chosen the fastboot option in the boot loader, plugged in the usb before trying to talk to your phone with fastboot?

This problem happened to me a while back, it causes due to cache getting accumulated, fastboot erase cache got my CMW recovery working again..
i dont know why isnt it working in your case..
And about ROM not booting looks like boot.img problem, i hope u made a nandroid

I was going to flash a new ROM on my DHD and did the usual steps: backup using TB, reboot to recovery, factory reset and then go find zip to install on SDCARD. But this time instead of finding my zips I had already transferred, I found none. So I mounted the SDCARD through the recovery menu and transferred the zip using my laptop.
I still couldn't see the zips, so I chose to reboot the phone from the recovery menu. Booted into old ROM, completed the setup wizard and rebooted to recovery again. Still no zips! So I turned the phone off and was just going to boot straight to recovery using VOL UP and POWER but then I only got three short vibrations and nothing happened, so I booted again to ROM and rebooted to recovery from there.
This time nothing happend, nothing at all. And now I'm stuck where I cant boot it, not to recovery, not to HBOOT and not to ROM. Tried taking out the battery and putting it back in. Tried turning it on using just POWER, using VOL UP and POWER, using VOL DOWN and POWER - and in different time length combinations. adb reboot bootloader cant find the phone. The LED doesn't light up when plugged to USB.
ROM: JELLYTIME for DHD/Inspire4g - 4.2.2 R4
Recovery: ClockworkMod
I'm guessing my DHD is completely bricked, right?

Oh dear poor you, I'm no expert, but unless your battery is dead, I'd say you killed your phone. Can't even get into recovery yikes.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda app-developers app
If your battery is dead you may need to ask a friend to charge it for you? If your phone still boots into recovery you havent killed your phone, if you go to the htc web site & look for the correct software for your phone you may have to apply that to reboot your phone again, but after you will need to root again? But first try another rom a stable one & try doing this - factory reset/full wipe, then wipe cache, then wipe dev cache, then fash the new rom. Hope this helps

Hi
i receive yesterday phone for my daughter, so i done hboot, s-off, recovery CWM
problem is when i try install any rom, i going to recovery mode and everything is fine, when i try install from sd card in empty screen, any other options same cwm its show me only first menu nothing else
Regards
Pl rephrase your question.
Here is what I feel will work:
Change your recovery to a stable one
Go to fastboot menu, even on pc go to fastboot and type fastboot flash recovery itsnamehere.img
If it is successfully flashed, go to recovery mode.
Hope you have put a ROM(and gapps) on sd.
Wipe Dalvik, cache, data.
Then flash the ROM and gapps.
Reboot.

Oh your problem isnt a problem.
Newer recoveries switch screen off on pressing power button. To accept you have to press trackball button.
