Why don't u flash recovery through adb, so the recovery will work and then you can install a Rom next...
You think you can walk me though it, im still a noob at this

You certainly can enter the boot loader ryt?
I actually own HTC incredible s so can't say much about it, nut then android OS works around the same way with bootloaders and recoveries, so hope I can get u some head start....
What exactly happens when you turn on the phone?
My ATRIX has wrote this without my consent!
Can you get into "Fastboot" mode? Wait.. are you just rooted or rooted and unlocked? If you are unlocked or even not unlocked and can get into RSD Mode, you could flash the Pudding 2.3.4 sbf. Or you could go to the "Fruit Cakes" thread, download the zip file extract the boot.img and system.img and flash them via fastboot...
The issue has been resolved...
It seemed that he could flash roms with sense 2.0 or 2.1 without any problems, but then he couldn't flash the 4ext recovery, as it did not seem to work, all it would do is give a blank screen, wherein the recovery would run but the text wasn't visible at all...
He first formatted his SD card...
Flashed 4extrecovery 2.1.0 final version. And it worked...
Next he flash VU 2.35 ROM. And power off the device after the flash from the recovery itself.
Went back into recovery again (keep in mind he hasn't started his phone, it actually ends up in boot loops) and flashed the unity v3 kernel.
Power off Tue device again and power on... Voila!!! It worked....
Some cpu's tend to be a little diff. than others. So some can bare the alterations made to their frequencies and voltage while others can't. Hope it goes well with all the IncS users....
EDIT: sorry posted this on the wrong thread... This is how another incredible s user had a problem like, so solved his one....

Build#: 4.5.2A-51_OLL-17
System: 45.2.17.MB860.BellMobility.en.CA
Version: 2.3.4 (on rooted stock Gingerbread)
I rooted my 2.3.4 Bell Atrix using the instructions on Atrixforums website, and it worked like a charm. Then i went into the market and downloaded ROM Manager, through which i flashed the latest Clockwork Mod Recovery. Since this was going to be my first time flashing a Custom ROM, I followed online advice of performing a Nandroid backup. I pressed "Backup Current ROM" in ROM Manager, and my phone turned off. When it turned back on, I was at the Motorola Dual Core screen, and at the top there was a message: "Failed to boot 2 Starting RSD Mode". After reading some more on the forums, I noticed that I never unlocked my phone and that I couldn't flash a custom Recovery meaning Nandroid backups won't work.
But now I'm stuck with a broken Recovery mode and I don't know what to do to fix this. Can I still flash the original recovery image back to fix the Failed to boot error?
Can someone please help point me to the right direction?
Thanks
Try pulling the battery. Hope that works, then unlock your phone, re root it and install rom racers recovery and you should be good to go. Thoroughly read the beginners thread, it will answer a lot of your questions and help walk you through everything you ned to do. Saved me a lot of hassle and headaches

to unlock my phone, don't i need to get into the recovery mode first? I can still boot into the homescreen and do stuff, but it's just the recovery mode is screwed up. RSD lite and stuff still works though. Would you be kind enough to provide a link to the right direction to unlock the phone? Will this fix my recovery mode problem? I've been going on a wild goose chase to find a way to install a custom ROM and alot of the posts were for the AT&T Atrix (or at least i believe it's only compatible with the ATT Atrix).
no, you have to use RDS to flash a unlockable bootloader, use fastboot, and then install the custom recovery

i am having this same exact problem as the original poster. i am still new to the "rooting" world, and the motorola atrix is quite a bit more difficult then the other devices i have rooted, if someone could link a guide to follow it would be very much appreciated, i have been browsing the forum for quite awhile now searching for a guide. again, thank you very much for your time and please excuse my ignorance.

How to unlock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
Maybe somebody can help me with this. I went through all the steps to unlock the bootloader and root the phone using Lokifish Marz guide(very helpful by the way). and now when you boot the phone up in the top left of the screen is the word unlocked.
However, when I go through the process of moto-fastboot. it acts like it's working just fine,erase recovery...OK, Sending Recovery.... OKAY, writing Recovery.... OK. but when I go to boot into recovery (power+volume down, scroll down to Android recovery and hit volume up) I get the Triangle with a !.
To make matters even more confusing, is I have got it to boot up to CWM. I did a full back up on internal, including web top and I thought I was good. I had to run to the grocery store so I booted my phone back up for the time being and went and did my errands, came back and booted into recovery(with the above way.) and bam! triangle, !, android guy.
I've done this a couple times. I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong however I can't seem to find anybody else that has had the same problem. I've held of on trying to flash a different rom, so I'm still running stock rooted.
I'm running Android Ver. 2.3.4 Build 198_6 and I've tried flashing a coule diffent versions of recovery3 including the one that came with Root-Unlock-Recover.
Anybody have any ideas?
I also have the same problem with my motorola photon. i went thru the steps
to unlock the bootloader it said it was unlocked i checked to make sure i was rooted with root check and it said i was. but when i power the phone on and boot i can see android recovery but when i select it the menu is not there just
a triangle and the android symbal, then i have to pull the battery to restart
it does and the phone seems to be working ok.
Well it make me feel better that im not the only one. What tools did you use to unlock your boot loader?
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
What version of stock did you guys start with? I think there was an USCC OTA that IIRC locked up the boot loader on the Electrify.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Started with Android Ver. 2.3.4 Build 198_6 , its the same one that's on there right now. and it's saying my boot loader is unlocked, I actually went through the fastboot unlock process again to check and it said it was already unlocked. Although I just tried flashing twrp recovery and the same thing happened, so it seems to be behaving like it flash's the new recovery but it doesn't.
Strangely though, I've been able to get into Clockwork Mod once or twice, but as soon as I reboot, and to go to recovery it takes me to triangle !, is that just stock recovery/bootloader? So basically CWM is a one time use then back to fast-boot to try again and again.
maybe I should look into re-locking and just going with a boot-strap?
So with some more Tinkering it seems I can get to ClockWorkMod so long as I don't reboot my phone all the way.
if I flash clockwork mod. pull the battery and boot into CWM it works fine, but if I fastboot reboot all the way it goes back to stock recovery. I'm beginning to think the boot loader isn't really unlocked even though it says it is.
Anybody else heard of this?

Okay folks, I am at oss and need to know if I am just flat out screwed or if maybe, just
Maybe I might have a shot at storing my EVO 3d. I was running meanrom. Everything was running smoothly but I decided to give ViperROM a shot. So I d a wipe, rebooted into recovery and flashed ViperROM. Initially I thought everything had gone according to plan until I realized something was amiss when I attempted to start 4g. 4g wouldn't start. I did some looking into and came to tonclusion that because as far as I could tell because I had been running meanrom when I flashed viper the kernel no longer stock was not compatible with viper. So I started flash image GUI, found stockkernel.zip on my sd card and flashed or so I thought the stock kernel in hopes that after I did then the 4g would work on ViperROM. Well I was mistaken. When the phone rebooted, after the initial HTC screen rather than next seeing the ViperROM boot animation my screen went black. It remained there laughing at me till the phone automatically rebooted and then once again went to a darn black screen. It seems my phone is stuck in an endless loop. HTC screen, black scree reboot, HTC... Ect. I then booted into recovery wiped again and tried to then just reinstall meanrom. Well, according twrp recovery the installation went smoothly but after HTC screen, my phone goes straight to black screen. Ive tried various variations of reinstallations and nothing has worked so far. Am I stuck like this or is there something that can be done. Any pointers or suggestions would be more than appreciated

Your phone is alright and working , dont worry.
..............................................................................
I am assuming you are unlocked via htcdev.com .
Follow the steps:
Copy the img file of the recovery you are using to the fastboot/adb folder (folder which you have used to unlock the bootloader).
1.Now boot your phone in bootloader
2.Select Fastboot and connect to PC.(phone should say "fastboot-usb")
3.now open command prompt and navigate to your fastboot folder.
4.Type "fastboot boot <recovery name>.img". Your recovery should boot now.
5.Wipe everything , and install any ROM you want.
6.Then reboot your phone as normal and your problem should be solved.
7.If you get stuck at HTC screen or that black screen , just open the zip file of the ROM that you've just flashed and copy the boot.img file to your fastboot/adb folder > then boot your phone into bootloader > select fastboot > connect to PC > in command prompt type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" > then reboot.
Hope this helps........
Did you make a nand backup before you flashed vipers rom? Or do what he said ^^^^^^^
Did you look in the meanrom folder on ur SD card. Inside of there is the stock kernel. Second try to flash cleanROM and see if that helps. And if that doesn't work, look for the modifiedsuperwipe.zip. if all else fails..... I had the boot loop a while a go. All I did was flash the modifiedsuperwipe.zip and then flashed the ROM of choice and i was good to go. Hope this helps a lil
I'm stumped
So I did the modified wipe. I thought it was going to be smooth sailing well, I plugged in the phone and went to fast boot tried sending my phone a command line but it hangs on waiting for device. So now I'm stuck wondering wtf. No go on fastboot commands for now that is unless someone has an idea on that. Is there a way to perhaps browse root from recovery and transfer the boot image from my sd card to the folder in needs to. Go to? Or can I mount as a usb storage device and move the boot.img file to where it needs to go from the computer. I'm so desperate to fix this issue without surrendering to defeat and bringing it somewhere for someone else to do it. Hell I probably can't afford it if I have to. Whelp, if you have any thoughts I'm grateful. Thanks for the assistance thus far fellas. When bootloader loads it says I believe loading PG86DIAG.zip no image found if that means any more to any of you. I also tried reinstalling meanrom. I booted into recovery via hold power +. Volume up then choose recovery. Twrp loads. Choose meanrom zip flash image. According to twrp this goes down swell with not a problem but when I boot to system still I get the black screen. It mocks me still.
oh yes. Probably worth mentioning. Today I was working from a bit installation of windows. It was a pain on the as o get the adb drivers workingnet but finally found something called pdapal installed it and it got things squared away or so I thought on the windows drivers side of things. So in device manager there are no errors and it says the android device is working properly now alert symbols over the driver or anything but still can't get the phone to accept fastboot commands.

I've got twrp flashed fine. However my phone won't respond to commands while in fastboot from the command prompt. It says waiting for device and never responds. Is there a possibility that usb debugging is not working. Is there a way to the? this on from recovery if you needed. I'm not nt intimidated by advanced procedures Im an analyst programmer and am stuck doing super boring things most of the day. I can't believe I'm being thrown a curve ball like this. I'm definitely humbled. Just saying that anything you throw out there Ide be willing to give a shot at this point.

Are you sure you are accessing fastboot from bootloader ? By your words, it seems like you are checking fast boot in settings> power
Does the bootloader say fastboot-usb? If not select it and press power.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Still Trying
Yeah, I'm definitely in fastboot through bootloader. Yes it says fastboot usb. I think despite the fact that it says drivers are installed properly in device manager there might still be some kind of driver issue. I'm away from home and don't have access to. My usual computers? I'm stuck on an installation of windows 7 64bit. Originally I was having issues getting the right drivers installed and so I installed pda net and that seemed to solve the issue in device manager but I'm still having issues. If there's some recovery I could flash which would allow me toove boot.img to the right path manually that might be a way I could solve this. Hell, I'll give anything a try. So that's where I am so far. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong or where I might go from here?
hboot 1.5 s-on
I've got the same specs as you save the rom and kernel. @ itzloltraim.
I did try flashing clockwork mod using rom manager before my phone started having issues but even though rom manager said it flashed when I booted to recovery next twrp was still there. Is there somewhere I can download a flashable zip from? I couldn't find one last time I looked. From what I remember the Dev Site Links to rommanager to get it. If you have a link that would be a help.

That plus what is he doing rooting or trying to flash a recovery?
Yea, I have the same problem...
I was running MeanROM4.1 with the dodava kernel. Being an idiot I flashed the new Anthrax kernel and now my phone gives me a black screen. When the phone starts up, theres no lock ring. Ive been trying to flash another kernel but i dont seem to be doing it properly. im using 4ext as recovery.
Im currently performing a Superwipe then factory reset. Ill reply with my findings. Good thing I backed up at MeanROM3.91, but if I cant get my screen to work...shall I assume bricked?
**problem solved. I flashed a kernel using the fastboot method. Someone posted it and it worked fine for me.**
Hi, I have an Amaze 4G with ICS 4.0.3, and I want to change the rom for space in the internal memory and battery life, but it has the android 3e recovery, and will not let me flash any recovery or roms or any ZIP, always gives me the error "e: signature failure". I root, I replaced the recovery of the / system / bin for one of this forum, as amended, but still all the same. I visited all the xda forums and HTCMania, I'm Spanish and I can hardly understand English, but I have not found a way to flash without me signing error android 3e.
Help, please

How sure are you that you're rooted? Anyways, if you just used an app to root, it won't be possible to flash a custom recovery until you unlock your bootloader.
hello, I have not posted before, it broke my wifi.
Turns out my ruby, is a Chinese clone, if you have not unlocked the bootloader, but try to flash the recovery.img with flashtools and I did, but it was starting to 3e, so try flashing boot.img, a boot.img flashtools accept, and did, but when you restart the phone, it stays in green android screen with black background.
Any idea?

You honestly lost me there, if your device is a Chinese clone, why would you attempt to flash files from this device to begin with? You'll need the stock files for that device to recover it.
of course, but i buy an Htc Amaze 4g and not a chinese phone. i dont know that thing, and now flash recovery.img and boot img compatibles with htc ruby, with flashtools and my phone fake is brick. Only on to android green and hold in that screen.
Today, i open new thread

I did not know it was a clone, I bought it as HTC Amaze 4G:

but when I hear that is a clone someone contact the customer service, and gave me the link to download the stock ROM from my phone.

So I made my query in this forum. From what I have seen, this MOBILE, carries a EVO 4g rom, so I'll try to find solutions for this.

Okay, So i have a Sprint HTC One (M7) I wanted to get Sense 6 using the InsertCoin ROM. So first i had to unlock the boot loader once i did that i needed to root it. I accidently installed Clockwordmod as my custom recover, i installed TWRP recovery instead, i forgot to make a backup.(Stupid me, I know. -_-) But it was working then, i was able use the device, i flashed this zip that would turn SU off so i could flash the rom i wanted. Now my phone wont even let me use it. It turns on, displays the HTC logo and goes straight to fastboot. Does anyone have any ideal to fix it? Please i have no clue. ^~^ I think its the kernel, but i don't know. I'm new to this. .-.

You should be able to get to recovery. If so, then you can push files to the phone via adb.
