it sounds like you didnt get a full copy of that recovery or one thing is you may have not let the file fully transfer and write itself to the card... try it again and post the size of the file youre using as cwm file
have u tried
fastboot boot recovery.img (rename cwm to recovery.img for ease)
from fastboot-usb mode .. afaik you can flash a whole rom+kernel enetering cmw from that command

that looks to be it right there... when using fastboot usb and you go to flash the recovery partition with that image try typing this in
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
that should flash the new recovery image to your phone then try
Thanks I couldn't get cwm to work but revolutionary did and every thing working and I flashed Lee's ROM

I just flashed Olympus Trinity XE Version IV on my CDMA EVO 3D. My phone will now not boot into recovery. I can only boot through fastboot. But it sucks having to use the computer everytime I want to flash a quick mod.
Any help?

Try turning the phone on normally, then Flas Clockwork through Rom Manager!
Make sure fastboot is unchecked. Can you get to recovery if you battery pull and volume down + power?

How to install with Fastboot:
Download the fastboot binary for your computer from HTC
Connect your phone and boot it into fastboot
Run fastboot with the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery-twrp-shooter-1.1.1.img
or
Zip Install
Rename the zip file PG86IMG.zip and place it in the root of your sdcard. Power off the device and boot up holding Power and Volume Down. Confirm the flash. Reboot your phone and remove the zip file from your sdcard root or rename it.

Thanks guys. I just wasn't sure if I could re-flash recovery.
Ill update once I get a chance to do it.
So the PG86IMG.zip method didn't work. I think its cuz I'm unlocked but still s-on. Ill try the computer method and get back to you guys.

in the previous back up you did... there is a file named boot.img...copy that file to your computer in the same place as the fastboot command and adb....then type in
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hello, thank you for this advice, thats what i did but with the boot.img of the leedroids rom :
- flash the rom
- power of
- go to fastboot
- fastboot flash boot boot.img
- worked...
i thougt flashimage gui had a function for evo3D to ectract the kernel and the rom but maybe i did not understand all i read...
btw thank you and all the others helped me
For people who came for an answer, here it is.
download android sdk
download fastboot drivers
get clockworkmod img and rename to imgfile.img
put img in adb tools
put adb, adbwinapi, fastboot, and the img file in c:/Android
plug your phone to the computer
enter the bootloader
click on recovery or fastboot doesnt matter since both will now take you to fastboot
goto computer
type in run in start menu
type cmd in run and hit enter
type cd c:\Android
type fastboot boot imgfile.img
you are now in recovery
go to mounts and storage and mount your device as a disk drive
download any rom to your computer doesnt really matter and put in on your sdcard. If you already have a rom on there then just use that.
unmount your phone
go to wipe data/factory reset and when it finishes flash the rom
once rom is done flashing reboot into android again.
your phone is partially fixed
now go to the market (if you flashed cm then flash the gapps.zip) and download "rom manager"
Then click on download clockworkmod 5.0.0.2 or something like that (first option)
Now go to rom manager and restore your backup that u made (If there was 1 before)
now it will be fixed and your bootloader will take u to recovery instead of fastboot when you click recovery xD
thanks xda
I flashed a rom and the rom must have been corrupted or something and now my phone is stuck rebooting and when I try to go to recovery or any option it takes me to fastboot so now my phone is basically bricked
Your phone is not bricked since your still able to turn it on.
Can you enter fasboot USB?

well it doesnt really turn on its a boot loop but whatever and fastboot is weird it doesnt want to work.
If your bootloader is unlocked make sure you flash the boot.img through fastboot and make sure you wipe

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Are you S-Off or S-On? If S-Off, download a PG86IMG.zip of a recovery, and use your bootloader to flash recovery. From that point, just restore a backup or reflash a ROM. If you're not S-Off, I'd say you should try running an RUU, since you can't get fastboot to work. But I think you need to relock your device to run an RUU (if you're S on/ HTC Unlocked), so you'd still need fastboot. Do you have a different USB cable to try? I've seen them fail before even though they still work to charge.

Sounds like the drivers arn't installed right.. Like you said if he is S-ON and relocked he can run a RUU exe if he is CDMA...
If you are s off then you just need to reload another recovery. And then access a backup of a rom! Or just flash a new one. I had a issue just like this yesterday where my recovery was broken for some reason and had to go from twrp. 2.1 back to 1.1.1 and load another rom.

Well i put the sdcard in a bberry but a pg6img.img in my sdcard but bootloader doesnt do anything

Ok, fail, i dont think i hav fastboot drivers downloading now
now cmd is stuck on "sending recovery"
Did you place a copy of the img into your fast boot folder and one in your adb tools folder ???

Hi Guys ..
I screwed up while flashing the unofficial slim rom on my htc one x. The device was already rooted and on twrp custom recovery.
I forgot to flash boot .img and directly tried flashing the rom , which failed. After that I can't access the previous rom nor recovery. The device only goes into bootloader and if I try to get into recovery I get a black screen . I've tried flashing both cwm and twrp via fastboot but can't get into them.
The device is stuck in the htc screen only . I tried flashing an ruu but it says there is an error due to incorrect ruu id . I guess it will be as my one x is s-on . Is there a way to get to s off via fastboot ?
Any help on getting my phone working again will be very much appreciated . I've attached a screen shot of the boot loader which has some details.
Please help! !
Thanks

So do you have a X or X+ device?
You can't enter recovery anymore? What recovery.img did you use and where did you download it? We need some more detailed information on what you did exactly.
And yes, RUU most probably doesn't work because of incorrect CID (can't change CID without S-OFF) and/or because your HBOOT version is too high (not allowed to downgrad without S-OFF).
I have an x+ device . I used twrp initially and later tried flashing both twrp and cwm via fastboot.
I can't enter recovery anymore . All I get when I select recovery from the boot loader screen is a black screen .
So now I need to flash a rom via fastboot only .. As I can't access recovery. Is there any other recovery image that I can try ?
Also is there any other option besides an ruu at this point?
Thanks

Try "fastboot erase cache" before and after flashing recovery again. Also make sure you've got the right recovery.img for HOX+.

We can't mount internal memory while in recovery. You need to use "adb push rom.zip /data/media/0" when in recovery or "adb sideload rom.zip" (you must enter sideload mode in recovery first).
Hi guys. I have a really weird problem especially cause I have successfully done ruu.exe many times without any problems. But now my evo won't boot even after ruu.exe finished succeffully, have tried multiple times. Just to mention that months before I did this ruu, I've installed a custom kernel "MiRaGe" and everything was good, till a couple days ago when I tried to boot into 4ext recovery and it didn't boot at all, tried 3-4 times, no luck, but the rom was working fine. (I haven't tried to boot to 4ext since installing a custom kernel) Now I relocked my phone to install ruu.exe, it finished successfully, but can't boot now. I have also unlocked bootloader again and have flashed recovery and still couldn't boot to recovery. Then I relocked and did ruu.exe again, but still no luck with booting to rom. Also I've tried factory reset in bootloader after finishig ruu.exe and the same thing.

Well, go into fastboot and unlock the bootloader again, install 4ext recovery (if you cant find the img file I can help you) and install any rom based on sense which will work on hboot 1.53.

Yeah and I've tried "fastboot boot recovery.img" command to boot to recovery, it was success but again the phone restarts. And just to mention that I've also tried cwm recovery but the result is the same.
I suppose that my evo is a true brick now :/

Try 4ext recovery, fastboot install recovery 4extimg.img and after that reboot into recovery. If it enters recovery install a close to stock ics rom, with 4ext smart flash enabled or extract the boot.img from the rom and install it through fastboot (fastboot install boot boot.img).
I can provide you the latest 4ext recovery img, pm me if you need it.

Already did that with 4ext and cwm but none of them won't boot to recovery, but for the rom, i did ruu.exe after flashing recovery (that won't boot) and after relocking, then I unocked bootloader and flashed boot.img from the same ruu.zip, but no results, bootlooping. I think nothing can be done, it's a brick.

You flashed the ruu with the exe though windows or through sdcard? Did you try to remove the sdcard? Try fastboot wipe or format recovery before installing the new img.
