Are you S-ON/UNLOCKED, or S-OFF?
If S-ON, did you flash a custom ROM and now its stuck in a boot loop? If so, you need to manually flash over the boot.img file from inside the ROM .zip you flashed, by using adb/fastboot from your PC.

Try flashing a recovery from the 4ext website. Command is "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img"

Try 4EXT
Flash it via fastboot, and does it say that it flashed in the command window? Then reboot to bootloader and try to get to recovery
If that doesn't work try ruu

RELOCK BOOTLOADER
Code:
fastboot oem lock
reboot to fastboot again, and it should say **RELOCKED** at the top
To re-unlock your bootloader, you will need to run:
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
just like the first time you unlocked it
removed.
i am done. thank you
been through all the issues and sorted them out
will provide help if needed
I can't seem to remember how to unlock? i still have the .bin from the first time, just couldn't remember what to do. Sorry! lol

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Alternate Instructions
Please note: this will not work on the RAIDER / Holiday -- only the HTC Vivid for ATT.
The reason is that this requires a HBOOT update, which is specific to the phone, and is signed per carrier.
Copy VIVID_ICS_OTA_ROOTED_CWM.zip to your external SD card
From CWM, flash the VIVID_ICS_OTA_ROOTED_CWM.zip
Put the PH39IMG.zip on your SD card, then reboot to fastboot
Re-lock your bootloader with fastboot, then reboot back into HBOOT
Flash the PH39IMG.zip from HBOOT
Remove PH39IMG.zip from SD card (or remove the SD card so that you can enter fastboot)
Enter fastboot again, and re-unlock bootloader
To get CWM re-installed you can either: a) fastboot flash recovery again OR b) Head to my thread and download the update PH39IMG clockwork installer, put that on your external SD, and boot to HBOOT then install it.

Going back to stock?
Right now, going back to stock Gingerbread or even ICS shouldn't be that hard.
There are two methods:
Restoring to Gingerbread
This can be accomplished by flashing a special PH39IMG.zip
It will restore system, boot, and recovery all back to factory shipping stock.
HBOOT will not be downgraded (not possible).
Go here for instructions/downloads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23242239#post23242239
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Restoring to ICS
This can also be accomplished, but it will be a two-step process.
First, you would use CWM to install a (soon to be created) update.zip that would install an unrooted stock ICS rom.
Then you will install a PH39IMG.zip that will remove clockwork and flash boot back to stock also.

Since you have CWM installed, you must have unlocked your bootloader, so all you need to do is flash the boot.img file from the CM10.1 zip file in fastboot usb mode and you should be good to go.

Its not a stupid mistake at all. Please refrain from calling it stupid either because that was not the mistake. The mistake was that you didnt flash the boot.img. Just extract the boot.img fro the CM10.1 and put it with your platform-tools in your SDK folder. Then, in command prompt, navigate to the SDK folder. Reboot your phone into fastboot.
Type: fastboot devices <---------- to make sure your phone is detected
then: fastboot flash boot boot.img <---- assuming you did not change the boot image name, in which was just replace the second boot with watever you changed it to. DO NOT FORGET THE .img AT THE END

At OP, the thing i said to do does not even require S-OFF. With S-OFF you can just flash the ROM and your good.
It seems I'm running into the same problem. I went through the steps here but I still can't get the phone to boot. I did S-OFF and I have CWM running as well on the phone it just wont boot any ROM... It just kinda loads endlessly

Hi,
I was just installing the CM 10.1 ROM and I received the error "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". After this, I tried to reinstall the stock boot.img I got from Android Revolution and I seem to have lost everything on the phone. When connected via USB, the phone folders are normally shown, but now they aren't. As well, when trying to boot, I get stuck at the HTC logo screen. I tried fastboot flash boot boot.img but I keep receiving the error that the device can't be detected and/or the partition "boot.img" can't be found. I did cd c:\Root (my rooting folder) beforehand and boot.img is in there. How do I factory reset as in reinstall original OS with HTC Sense 5 UI on it so that everything went back to when I took it out of the box? If there's a way to do it via TWRP which I have installed, I would love to know how.

I would like to know as to how can i backup stock recovery? Bcoz, i wish to go S-off and unlocked via Revone method, then flash TWRP, flash a few mods, and then get back to stock recovery , s-off, locked bootloader. Is that all possible. Does a nandroid backup, backup's stock recovery as well???
Thanks in advance guys.
You can't do a nandroid without custom recovery so that is out of the picture. OTA zip files however contain the recovery file you need.

If you're still on stock recovery at the moment - go into fastboot and command:

You'll need to download either CWM or TWRP. You can rename the download if you want to something like cwm.img or twrp.img to make it easier.
Once the backup is done it will be on your phones internal storage in the clockworkmod or TWRP folder - depending which one you choose to boot. Just copy it to your PC.

One question though... i bought this phone as a used, and it was Tampered and Relocked. When I selected the recovery option, it booted the phone to somewhat stock like recovery, and then after some process, the phone rebooted, and the phone was totally Factory Reset.... everything in the storage was gone too..... so is there an way to check if it is indeed a stock recovery, or this is the normal behaviour of stock recovery...?
You need to unlock your bootloader before doing anything with custom recovery. Use Revone or the official HTC Dev method

this method of just booting a custom recovery used to work with OLDER hboot versions. but it doesn't work with newer hboots. my hboot version is 1.54.0000 and when I use the command mentioned above, my bootloader menu just freezes!! guess I'll have to look for the OTA file then to find the stock bootloader!

this method of just booting a custom recovery used to work with OLDER hboot versions. but it doesn't work with newer hboots. my hboot version is 1.54.0000 and when I use the command mentioned above, my bootloader menu just freezes!! guess I'll have to look for the OTA file then to find the stock bootloader!

Not sure if it helps as I was still on 1.44 HBoot, but when I tried the command while the bootloader was locked, my bootloader would also freeze and I had to do a hard reset. Once I unlocked my bootloader, the boot command worked.

first of all, you must have your bootloader unlocked in order to boot/flash a custom recovery. you can't do so if your bootloader is locked. and secondly, yeah, I also had the boot command worked out before I had the 1.54 Hboot. I guess this one doesn't allow 'just' booting a custom recovery!
