Reflash your recovery. It might help.

Go to the H-Boot screen and it should show that if you push the "home" button to get into recovery. Go into recovery and format system, data, cache, and boot. Then, reflash a new rom or restore a nandroid. I don't know what you were doing to get into the situation that you are/were in.
The H-Boot searches for a HERCIMG.zip (Herc is for Hero CDMA), if you are S-on, I am not sure if you can even RUU or not (there is a thread about fastboot though). You might be able to though, but you are ok as long as you can get into recovery. If you can, follow those steps above (those are for using clockwork recovery) and you should be ok if you were only messing around with folders in the system. In fact, you might not need to wipe anything but just flash a new rom. Why not start fresh though?
Good luck! I would suggest getting S-off, it has saved me time and headaches.
thank you but...

Thank you but that is the problem i am having. i can and have flashed the ruu both threw the sd card and threw fastboot usb.
i can not get into recovery, when in hboot i hit the home button and the phone resets and stays on the first htc screen.
can you install "clockwork recovery" without the phone fully booting ?
or is there a way to get s-off without fully booting the phone

If you can fastboot then adb will work. Just do
Code:
adb flash_image nameofrecovery.file

Did the ruu load when you did it? It should show you all of the images loading on your phone. There should be a recovery image in it too. What recovery were you using when you this happened?

yes the ruu loaded , i wasn't using a recovery when this happened i simply reset my phone after i loaded a new service programming file on it. I have no idea what you mean by "It should show you all of the images loading on your phone." .
ok just to clarify to all people trying to help , flashing a new ruu dose not work, but i thank you all for the help and hope i can get this fixed.
So keep the advice coming
I am having the exact same issue (I think). Randomly in the middle of the night my phone rebooted. Now it only gets to the HTC boot screen and then reboots again.
I tried booting into recovery, but it just goes back to the HTC screen.
I did not recently flash any new ROMs and have been using the same version of CM7 for awhile now. I was using Clockwork recovery. Nothing I do can get past the HTC screen. I tried all the options suggested. I even placed a new recovery image on the sdcard hoping that would work.
Any more ideas?

Have you tried Booting Without your Sdcard? If that Didnt work, Try Copying Everything from your Sdcard to a Computer, then Delete Everything off your Sdcard! Then One by One Put'em back onto your Sdcard and see if you get Lucky?
Good Luck Bro!
Same happened to mine too.drained battery. Charged it but now only shows HTC screen not going to recovery. No SD doesn't work

Quick question and I'll probably get flamed for this...
Can someone point me to the correct Ruu to reset my phone and still be able to root it/install DamageR_finish rom?
I can't boot in to the device. All I get is the Black HTC logo screen. I CAN boot in to recovery.
Thanks!
Are you rooted? Use recovery to wipe the phone and flash whatever you want.

I've wiped everything several times, tried a Nandroid back up, and a few different Roms.

Never mind, I managed to Ruu.
I had to run the ruu once, it would fail out and restart the phone, then I ran the ruu again without unplugging and the PC picked up the connection.
I was using my Incredible S normally, when it suddenly faded to black and was totally freeze so I decided to restart it (Taking the battery out)
Then after reboot, It got stuck on white Htc logo (with "quietly brilliant animation playing again and again"). So restarted it again and tried to use the fast reboot option (restarting and holding the VOL DOWN button), but this also didn't work.
Some details: I Have Android Revolution (ROM) with S-OFF
Hope somebody help me!

Did you remove battery ,then replace battery then
volume down and power?(after the first restart).And im assuming also that you want to go to recovery to redo a backup..
Yes, I just did that (also tried with another battery). But when I pushed recovery, It restarts and still getting stuck on the boot screen. (but now with some vibrations and then goes off)
I was thinking about reinstall the ROM, but that's my last option because I don't have a way to make a backup

if it allows you to get to recovery screen,did you try to go to any of the other options it gives you to see if it just reboots then as well, or is it just the recovery that reboots? And are you sure your batteries have charge,is your phone plugged in to a charger?
I tried with fastboot>reboot, recovery, and factory reset, all having the same result (reboot and then nothing). I'm not sure what are HBOOT USB and IMAGE CRC used for, and of course, I have not checked the SIMLOCK option.
Thanks for your replies.
Is it possible to make a backup from the recovery mode?
I don't think making a backup of what's going on would help any..but yeah if you can get into recovery you can backup.

I would suggest booting to the HBOOT menu and then connect your phone to the coputer you used when you ran Revolutionary to gain S-OFF.
Then select the FASTBOOT menu selection and see if you get into FASTBOOT USB mode. If you do, then I would try to reflash ClockworkMod recovery.
Thanks, I'm going to try that, but first I have to find the drivers.
Thanks Again, tell you later.
After got FASTBOOT USD, how should I continue to reflash ClockworkMod recovery?. Doing this, will I lose everything?
Edit:
I realized I can't reach recovery mode, so I can't reflash :s.
I'm not sure if you'll lose everything but use the command
fastboot flash recovery (name of image)
Make sure the recovery image is in the same folder as fastboot and adb

Flashing a custom recovery will not cause you to lose anything. Once you get recovery installed, any backups you made should then be available to restore.
But based on what you described happened to your phone, restoring a previous backup sounds like the best thing you could do.
Anyone please?
I have gone so far, I mean, I've tried to flash the recovery using fastboot usb but I got an error that said: FAILED (remote: now allowed). I also tried using Android Flasher, but I got an error too. It said: Your phone require ENG bootloader. after that I tried to flash another bootloader, but with no success :/.
I'm starting to get stressed, every different way I try, there's another problem...
EDIT : I'm sure I connected everything well. On screen said FASTBOOT USB, so I supose I got into this mode correctly

Looks like you need to resort to reloading a stock ROM. I would suggest you use the PG32IMG.zip method (copy an official RUU ROM.zip to your SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip) and install it from HBOOT.

It didn't work :/, I got a RUU.exe then I extracted Rom.zip file and put into my SD as PG32IMG.zip. The phone readed the file without problems, but after "parsing" it rebooted and the same, some vibes, and got stuck again. also tried to extract the recovery file and just parse that one, but still the same.
I think is not a recovery problem, should I parse something else?
Have you Got the RUU specific to Your Device..????
or try making a Gold card and then flash the Downloaded RUU to avoid CID mismatch error...

And have you by any chance removed the battery while the device was stuck on the white HTC screen..???
and one more imporatnt do you have your warranty..???

Ok, here is where I am at right now.
1. I reflashed TWRP
2. Did a recovery from my MAY back up
3. I am not able to load into the phone but not everything is loading and the screen is black and reboots after being on for more then 3 mins
4. I can now get into recovery fine.
so Should I just reflash the rom I was trying to flash or will I need to reload a stock rom to fix what ever I screwed up...

Right now I am in exactly in the same place. Anytime I try to reboot it goes straight to the fastboot screen, and I can't get past into either booting my phone, or into the recovery (TWRP) I've tried adb fastboot clear cache, looking for an RUU that works for mine [htc one - sprint 1.31.651.2, M7wls, S-ON, HBOOT-1.44.0000]and all I could find was an OTA). I was foolishly trying to flash the Orio One custom ROM but didn't double check things, and I think it erased my radio. AKA i super messed something up. Whenever I try to flash anything that looks like the stock RUU (i went to the htc dev site as well) it always comes back with an error: (bootloader) signature checking...FAILED (remote: signature verify fail). I've been researching it for a couple hours tonight but no luck so far. Hopefully tomorrow I can wake up with a clear mind and try to figure this thing out. If anyone has any advice, I'd much appreciate it.

can u guys help in this regard... can't transfer rom file to phone.. plz help adb also not working
Alright so for the past six hours I have been trying to make up for my mistake. I accidentally tried to flash the color os rom like most others and failed to read. I know stupid, right? Anyway, I cannot access recovery. It just goes to the HTC logo, says I can access bootloader, and I have s-on. However, I have tried to flash a new recovery image and it says okay everything worked and it still does the same thing. So does that mean I am no longer rooted? I just need to figure out a way to get a rom back to my phone, since obviously it erased everything on my sd card. Thanks in advance. Anything will help.

Problem is fixed I ended up flashing stock recovery through adb and the using the ruu kit and got it to work after re locking my phone
Hey guys, Im fairly new to this stuff, but I got a question or two, it may take me a day to reply so i'll try to put as much info as posible.
Now recently I received the OTA 4.20 (Lolipop) on my phone, so I flashed my stock recovery to download the OTA, making me reroot my phone.
So my phone is re-rooted (after 2 tries) but now it seems like I cant write to my SD card, so I got fed up and went into TWRP recovery and selected wipe data and restore. (Restore point was before I got lolipop) I try to reboot but it takes me as far as HTC One screen. Next I go to recovery and try a factory reset, says its successful, but it lied to me! Still stuck at HTC One screen. So I flash back to stock recovery to try the factory reset with that, it went for a moment, then tried to boot, getting stuck at HTC one screen again, so once more, I flash TWRP to my phone in attempt to get the recovery back, but now I can't load recovery, or boot. So Im stuck there. Is there any advice to what to do from here? I tried command 'fastboot erase cache' thinking that would do something and reflashing the recovery.img but it's still not working. I hope someone can help me.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
The reason you can't write to your SD card isn't because of lollipop, that was actually added but on kit Kat, but the devs went and added a line of code to a file to allow it again. I am currently running my stock rooted, built from decrypted ruu, originally I wasn't able to but I added that one line of code. I believe all you have to do is flash a stock rooted and SD card write should be enabled. As for not being able to get into recovery or boot at all, boot to bootloader and ruu then flash twrp.
Ok so correct me if im doing something wrong, but I flashed the stock recovery in attempt to factory reset it, it wont work, so I flash TWRP with command line (Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img) And it's 'successful' but it wont load, it will attempt to load but one second in and it goes back to fastboot, how to I move forward from here?
Edit: so idiot me did it again, I was trying to install M7 version into a m8. Resolved, Now I can enter recovery again.
Alright, so now my only problem is now that it wont boot normally, it freezes at HTC one screen. I have access to TWRP recovery, just not sure what to do next from here.

I actually just unlocked my bootloader yesterday, installed TWRP today, and had what I thought was the same. The thing is, let it sit. Mine sat at the HTC ONE screen for what seemed to be between 5 and 10 minutes. I read that it happens in one of these threads.
But I let it sit and it eventually went to "Android is Upgrading" and was loading the apps.

Ok thanks, I'll post back in 20 minutes with an update.
So i've waited about 20 minutes on the HTC one screen, (Still on it as I post this) It is still stuck on it. I dont know if this helps but im able to view my internal and external card via computer cable, but I only see folders, no files of any kind in any of them..
Edit* I WAS able to read it, now I can't.
I GOT IT! I was able to revert to a backup I made. Even though I gotta flash stock again for OTA but F it! I got it working again. Thanks for all your help!
