My Incredible (1) will not boot into recovery. I get the bootloader only. When I select recovery in the bootloader it just brings me back to the bootloader. I don't know how to correct this. Please help. Thank you.
Did you try re flashing the recovery?

Several times with no luck.
If your using rom manager try navigating to the rom manager settings and tick erase recovery then reflash 5.0.2.0 through the rom manager main screen. Only thing I can think of.

Sorry i was using the xda app, dosent show sig. Anyways does recovery error and not flash, or flash fine but you still cant access it? Try flashing the stock recovery or amon ra recovery and see if you can access them? If you can then try flashing back to cwm. If none of that works i would try doing an ruu. You can get all those files from the site in my sig.
Did you try reflashing an earlier version of recovery? 3.x.x.x?
I had problems the other day getting into recovery while running a GB version of MIUI. I went into rom manager and clicked on "flash alternative Recovery", that allowed me to boot into recovery. Try that.
Something that i've heard that sometimes works is going into ROM Manager and clicking flash recovery 3-4 times. If this doesn't work you might need to return to stock (including stock recovery) and then re-root.
Sorry I hadn't answered anyone yet. I had personal problems to deal with.
As for flashing into stock. I can't do that. I can't flash into anything because my phone will not go into CWR...
I can't flash from the ROM Manager either. It just kicks me back to the bootloader.
When I select Recovery it just kicks me back to the bootloader main menu. Nothing else seems to work.
I have root. I don't understand why this will not work. Any ideas? PLEASE... Thank you.

You need to flash cwm thru hboot if your s-off or fastboot flash the cwm img if you just have an unlocked bootloader.

Wrong Forum.
Oh and I was going to help you but, with both being in the wrong forum and double posting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741225
I'm not going to now.
You installed the wrong Froyo, I think. Install this and you won't need to worry about recovery or rooting stuff. You can get radio updates automagically.

Umm...you're actually TELLING him to install a ROM that will make it impossible for him to root?
Lol, I think his intentions aren't all that commendable...

Okay. I've search around and haven't found anything yet.
I recently got a new evo and rooted with the Unrevoked 3.0 beta RC2 yesterday. All was going well until I tried to upgrade to the CM 6.1.2 this morning. Google apps wasn't installed so I flashed the zip which put me in to a boot loop with Clockwork.
It was giving me an error when I tried to restore the backup. I tried to flash pc36img.zip and now whenever I go into recovery I am in RA-evo-v1.8 which I am unfamiliar with. I've tried installing other ROMs via this recovery but the prcess is aborted each time.
Any help would be more than appreciated. I am literally stuck.

Need any and all information about your phone. I also notice that you are new. The dev section isnt for Q/A there is an entire section dedicated to solving these issues. Please remember that next time. Keeps things cleaner. So please gather anything you can about your phone. Method, Hboot, Version, Radio, Anything that can help anyone here identify something.
Do you have the rom in the root of the usb card? If so try full data wipe and installing the room see if it boots up.
Thanks for the quick reply. Will remember. Desperation has gotten the better of me. I will move over to Q/A if you prefer.

if your able to boot up into a rom download Rom manager and select flash clockworkMod recovery or flash alternate recovery thats prob gonna be the easiest fastest fix (considering it works)

I agree with this method... the best way to determine the recovery to use would be to go into the terminal and type
Code:
cat /proc/mtd
if you see "400000" then you need to get the clockwork v3.0.0.2 that supports this phone partion layout. If you see "20000" then you should get amon_ra 1,8 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
The information I gathered was from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894331
Making sure you have the correct recovery is the first step. Once that is done create a nandroid and save it somewhere to ensure that the wimax partition is saved.
You have to flash the modified version of Amon_ra found in Zikronix thread. You can find my thread that points to it or just search for hboot 2.10 and follow the instructions in that rooting thread. It seems you're already rooted so just flashing the recovery is probably all you will need.
I haven't used unrevoked, and I know there are several versions. But I have seen others who have used unrevoked and couldn't flash anything bc evidently the method they used to root didn't install the flash_image file on their phone.
I know that installing flash_image fixed being able to flash for some people who rooted with unrevoked.
This issue came up and I was able to help some people, if you check near the end of fastRX8 thread. But I was only able help point the right direction, they figured out the rest of the way. The OP there has the flash_image file and tells you what terminal commands to install it.
I don't know how for you to check if you gave it or not, as I can see mine on sd card cuz I put it there when I rooted.
Beyond this suggestion, lithid can probably help much better than I.
But def post your hardware version, root method, and hboot version (you see that when you go into bootloader and read the top line.

Was there a resolution for your problem? If so please post so anyone searching in the future can resolve there problem quickly.
you should flash the pc36img.zip located at the bottom of zikronix's root thread. good luck. just put it on the root of ur sdcard named as pc36img.zip and boot into bootloader. accept the update, and say no to the reboot. then pick recovery, and flash a rom. you need to stay with this recovery if it works for you.

FIX BROKEN RECOVERY
This is really only needed if you rooted with one of the previos guides version 6 or lower or if you installed a different recovery like I told you not to.
1) Download File PC36IMG_Recovery.zip and Rename to PC36IMG.zip.
copy to the root of your SDCard and power off phone
2) Power your phone back on into the boot loader by holding power and vol-down until your presented with a white screen. It will read the pc36img.zip and as you if you want to flash. Say yes. Then it will ask if you want to reboot, VOL+UP for yes.
3) If your rom gets tossed in the process. Reboot your phone into bootloader select recovery, and reflash your rom....DONE

OP flash the PC36IMG in the bootloader to load this new recovery, then you can go into your new recovery and flash a new rom.
i just rooted my evo with the unrevoked beta.hboot 2.02 it installed clockwork and through that i switchted to the aman ra after that i did a nand backup, powered off my phone and when i turned it back on it was stuck in the bootloader loop. the only thing that eventually worked was installing the sprintlovers pc36img. that got my phone working again. just tried to nand backup again and the same thing happened. does this mean that i need to flash that broken recovery?

Were you restoring a backup or did you stuck on loop on a new rom flash?
i wasnt even trying to flash a rom yet. i was doing the very first nand backup so i could check some roms out. after the backup was complete it gave the option to power off so i did and when i turned my phone back on it was in the bootloader loop. so i went back to recovery, wiped everything, restored nand and i said it restored but when i rebooted it was back in the bootloader loop.so i just search around trying to get help but couldnt find much so i put sprintlovers since it boots up right when you turn your phone on. now it wouldnt even nand backup it said some error and was in the bootloader loop again so i just reinstalled sprintlovers, again
Try downloading an actual rom in zip format (not sprintlovers pc36img) and see if you can flash a new rom fresh. Make sure to wipe everything.
Try using Caulkings format all zip in recovery to wipe your caches.

Hey, everyone. After installing the latest Clockworkmod Recovery, I have not been able to boot into recovery. I can still boot regularly just fine, but I'm getting to the point where I'm feeling like a new ROM. I've attempted to access recovery from ROM Manager and hboot, but when the phone reboots, the splash screen hangs. I tried reflashing recovery, but it hasn't helped at all. Anyone have any ideas?
Flash a different version of clock work

Just flashed shipped rom by the way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826465
Then installed Visionary to root, it was OK.
Then did a "one click radio S-off" it was ok.
Then installed ROM Manager to install ClockworkMod Recovery .... Everything was OK. Then I reboot to Recovery mode, screen burst upon with "!" symbol in triangle and halt ...
Try to do many ways ... but nothing happened better.
Somehow I got mistake or something went wrong? Because before re-flashed the rom said above I can boot into recovery mode without problem.
Please help.
Thanks.
You need km flash the clockwork recovery image over the top of the stock recovery. Flashing with ROM manager is a fake flash and not the real thing, have a look at the stickies have flash the recovery then you'll be good to go,
Good luck

Blinkydamo what are you talking about?? Rom manager flashes it just fine. It just has a bug, that sometimes users have to flash cwm twice.
So, HkDng, just try to flash clockworkmod again using rom manager.

I tried to flash using rom manager many times but still failed.
Try to remove the rom manager and install it again.. And check in bootloader that you have S-OFF.

Personally I would flash the recovery from fastboot, at least then you know if it's worked or not, I am finding rom manager a little flaky with the latest cwm 3.0.0.5, and end up using Clockwork recovery directly for the time being

What was the PC36IMG & why did you need it? You need to download a PC36IMG.zip of Amon Ra or CWM. Don't rename, update in the bootloader.

This confuses me a bit. You somehow ended up with a PC36IMG on your sd card that you had no idea what it was, then it asked you to update, and you said yes, not even knowing what it was? Is that accurate? Does your bootloader still show S off? If you flashed a PC36IMG of a factory ROM you may be S on and unrooted, so check that first. If you're still s off, and you can boot into the OS, then the easiest way for you to get Clockwork back would be to download ROM manager, and use that to flash clockwork. Just select 'flash clockwork mod recovery'. If you did in fact run a PC36IMG of the factory rom, you'll most likely need to install the Super User app again in order for ROM manager to work.
I'm very curious of what the heck you flashed, and how you didn't know what it was, lol. A little more info would be great. Are you still on the same ROM you were before you flashed it? What were the results of flashing the PC36IMG? Can you boot up?
Same thing happened to me a few days ago. Nothing is briked. Some how. After a few reeboots all came back to normal.
I fixed it, but now I am trying to get back my original backup and everythime I try it says:
Checking MD5 sums…
Erasing boot before restore…
Restoring boot image…
Error while flashing boot image!
I think my HBOOT isnt the write version but im not sure.
