what guide are you using? the recovery img has to be in the same folder as fastboot unless you point it towards a different folder
In the same boat as the OP, I've done everything right and I get this error message in cmd with the black screen and white HTC text.
BTW OP - You can go back to using your phone. Take out the battery (with the usb plug out of the phone or computer) and put it back in and turn the phone on normally. You'll just have to go through the process again of fastboot oem rebootRUU to get back to the black screen with white HTC text.
I'm using the CyanogenMod Wiki HTC Incredible 2 Full Update Guide (since I cannot link it in my post), I dunno what the OP is using. Also, the recovery file is in the appropriate location(s) in the android-sdk-windows folder.
im using the cyanogenmod wiki and i tried putting the recovery image for clockwork into the same folder as fastboot and adb and it still gives me that error and i dont have the technical savvy to figure this out
edit: that would be the platform-tools folder in the android sdk folder, thats what i found people did by googling this
and to finalassault, i took out my battery and tried turning it back on normally i just get stuck at the white screen with the green htc lettering so i clearly messed something up unless i just have to wait a few minutes
Try this guide. Use the clockwork image attached instead of the one from the CM7 guide.

Same error, except it's just coming up as not able to load this file instead of the other one. Maybe I possibly screwed up whilst doing AlphaRev?
Edit - I just did it a different way and I didn't get an error message:
sending 'recovery' (5022 KB)...
OKAY [ 25.776s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.254s]
finished. total time: 28.030s
I guess that worked.
Edit 2 - It "worked" but didn't really do anything else. Might have done something wrong on the AlphaRev step. Actually I'll shut up now, something else showed up.
Edit 3 and final edit - Done and done. That was fun.
how did you get it too work???

It sounds like you may have borked your stock rom....if you can boot to hboot and select fastboot then you should be able to flash the CWM from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=14947083
Follow the instructions on the link not the one from CM Wiki. Make sure you have fastboot.exe and CWM image from the link in the same folder as your adb. If you're using windows 7 64bit then you'll need to run adb in compatability mode (at least that's what I had to do to get it working in 64bit).
You should then be able to flash a rooted, deodexed stock froyo sense rom from this link by Jcase http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138274 or use XGunthers Incredibly Debloated Rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138202
That should get you up and runnning. Or you could just jump straight into the GB ASOP roms CM7, MIUI, etc.
Let me know if this works for you....
the first link comes up as 404, appreciate the help
also not quite sure what the compatibility mode is for the adb, kind of a noob here =/
edit: got it in compatibility mode, i suppose i didnt install it right because it looks like it does something for a few seconds then seems to stop

It's okay don't worry...I'm pretty new to this stuff too since I just got into rooting about 2 weeks ago.
Compatability mode is an option in windows 7. Right click on the adb.exe file and select Properties. Once that comes up, you'll need to select the compatability tab on top and choose run in 'Windows XP Service Pack 2' mode (sorry I'm at work and don't have access to my win7 machine). Then click ok and it should run in compatability mode.
Then just follow the flash instructions from the link drcrawfo posted up and you should be good to go!
yea i got the compatibility mode, i must have messed something up pretty bad because adb and fastboot dont seem to do much, they go through a quick thing in the command prompt then dont seem to be active after that, also still cant flash clockworkmod
ok so idk why but i decided to try taking out the sd card and then when i did the flash recovery cwm thing a whole list of commands came up in the command prompt and i have no clue if thats good or bad or what command i should pick
ill list a few just to see if that helps you guys in helping me out
update <filename>
flashhall
flash <partition> [ <filename> ]
and a few more then there were options that followed
edit: and now for somereason it doesnt flash again but if i do fastboot recovery i still get all those options so is there a way to get the cwm to flash through that way

Hmmm..so you have all your files setup in the same folder and when running the commands from cmd they don't do anything? Does it saying anything is being sent?
This may be beyond my expertise. Have you tried posting in the clockwork mod thread in the development section?
Sent from my Incredible 2
I just want to mention that I didn't end up using the exact commands that are given from the wiki, that didn't seem to work for me. I had to mess around with it (including manually pointing cmd to where it was) to get it to work for me. Had all of the drivers, SDK stuff, the path and everything where they should have been. I hope you get this resolved.
nothing is working out for me this is not fun
same boat as you simple but I can still use my phone. I just gave up as none of the methods seemed to work.

You need to open a command window, change the working directory to where adb/fastboot are located and then type adb.exe at the command prompt.
It sounds like you are trying to double-click the adb.exe from Windows Explorer.
yea i was double clicking, im not too savvy with this stuff, how do you change the directory and all that
So, I sold my GNex to get a One X, and as I always do first day round, went to install a custom room, recovery and root.
Now I did search around, but couldn't find anything too useful, or anything that would actually work.
I succesfully unlocked my bootloader at htcdev.com but I am unable to root or flash a custom recovery, when I try to use fastboot, whether it's fastboot flash recovery *.img or fastboot devices or fastboot boot *.img it gives me the error:
ERROR: could not get pipe properties
ERROR: could not get pipe properties
sending 'boot' (4280 KB)... ERROR: usb_write failed with status e0004061
FAILED (command write failed (No such file or directory))
ERROR: could not get pipe properties
ERROR: could not get pipe properties
rebooting... ERROR: usb_write failed with status e0004061
Something similar to that.
Can someone please help me out here...I'm losing my mind trying to achieve root on this thing!
Edit: BTW, I'm on a MAC! OS X Lion with the GSM International HTC One X

If he fastboots while in android it will simply say "waiting for device"
Either your drivers need re-installing or you have a dodgy USB lead, failing that can you do it on a windows machine with the same lead and if so does it produce a simular error ?

It sounds like you are not including the full file name in the command. As an example this would be a correct command, and in this example there is a file called boot.img in the folder that my terminal is currently pointing to:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I think you'll find that's to do with a 3rd party keyboard. Look in the settings for the keyboard you're using and see if the notification can be hidden.

this for example:

a. Create a folder "downsaga" on your C:
b. Copy misc_version, recovery.img(custom) on that folder.
c. Copy SuperSU's or SuperUser's flashable zip to your SD card.
what is C.???
what is the flashable zip?
also where do i get recovery.img.
there are no explinations

Hmm you got to do more reading.
C is the drive in your computer. Flashable zip is the one which can be 'flashed' ( installed) from recovery.

This is the flashable zip:
http://download.chainfire.eu/339/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41.zip
I downgraded mine in 20 mins, its so simple. Basically u need to -
Unlock bootloader (google)
Flash recovery (google)
Flash superuser (google)
Then on ur pc u do the misc_version bit and in the cmd window u need to type in the ruu number that ur going to run so that when u do run the ruu, it thinks ur software number is 1.xx.xxxx NOT 2.xx.xxxx. Once uv finished misc_version part u need to boot back into fastboot and relock ur bootloader (fastboot oem lock) then run the ruu, if all goes well u can use revolutionary.
it appears you can use splashes from the M7 and M8 just take splash.565 or splash1.img and rename to splash1.nb0 and place in empty zip
Big thanks to @iElvis for the VZW android-info.txt and zip
to make your own splash use

fastboot reboot

Here is a couple i kanged
awesome job many thanks!
just a FYI the android-info.txt says 1.32.401.15, while the one for VZW is 1.33.605.15.
can prolly just edit it to say the correct number, but not 100%
Looks nice. I need that black one. Thanks for finding this out..
i changed the version in the info and fast flashed it worked but since it doesn't really effect anything and becuz im fat and lazy gonna leave it :silly:

Just like, more dumbed down instructions. What is the platform-tools folder, where do those commands get entered specifically. I tried them in ADB shell and nothing was working. The .bat program was giving me an error about the adb program not being installed. So I guess like a more detailed list maybe?

If the stock splash isn't in either of the firmware.zips, RUU may be only way. Unless the M8 one works.

there's no such fastboot command "flash_other", you don't have to flash bootloader to both partition.

Download another copy of June update in case first was corrupt.
Place all Tools files plus unzipped June update files into one folder. Make sure your usb cable is an oem Pixel cable.
Use Windows command prompt instead of Powershell. Type fastboot devices with phone connected in fastboot mode.
If you get a serial number, double click on flash-all.bat. It oughta run fine.

It sure looks right, and I know you've done this before. What happens when you shut the phone off and then enter bootloader manually. I know it shouldn't matter, but what the heck. That's exactly what I do every month, I never boot into fastboot from the OS and adb ?
