Hi there,
I have a Droid Incredible, and I was following the procedure in the OP until I used the unrEVOked program. At first, it seemed to hang on "Waiting for device" so I unplugged the phone and reconnected it.. then it proceeded to use the default ClockworkMod img before I could tell it to use the custom img... after this, my DInc rebooted and sat at the boot screen (not HBOOT, but the one that says Droid Incredible).
I have tried a number of things since then, turning the phone on and off several times, waiting it out, popping out the battery etc. I tried to HBOOT into recovery, but I just get a black screen with white bars on either side.
Here's the thing: All of the troubleshooting I have seen here talks about flashing RUU's onto the phone through HBOOT Recovery.. but that doesn't seem to do anything. I managed to push the PB31IMG.zip into my /sdcard/ through mini-adb but that continues to be unrecognized by HBOOT. (I have rebooted at least a dozen times this way)
Other suggestions I have seen here involve being able to access settings that I can't find through HBOOT. They seem to be available only IF your phone will actually boot up. Is there anything more I can do??
Is there some step in all of this that I am missing?
Also, my HBOOT says 0.92.0000 while all I see here is .97 & .98 - is this going to be a problem?
Thanks.
p.s. I'm really sorry if this question has been sufficiently answered here already.. I got through 5 pages of this topic, along with several other Google searches and other forums, with no results and my patience is wearing out.
EDIT: I also wanted to add, that before this started I had USB Debugging checked, and my USB connection was Charge Only. I can't seem to change anything about this, and I can't access my sdcard contents as far as I can tell.
.92 is the correct hboot for the droid incredible. .97 and .98 were referencing the inc2.
*since you have a recovery(sort of) and your phone wont boot,you have a couple options:
1)enter recovery thru hboot. plug in your phone and try "adb devices" if you get "<serial number> recovery" than you can prolly simply enter the adb commands in recovery then flash the downgrade 2.2 PB31IMG. you will need to obtain a sd card reader to move files to and from your sd card since you cant boot to the OS,and you cant select "usb mount" in recovery. ill run thru it in a sec and make sure it works.
edit: pushing the commands will work fine in recovery. you will just need to
adb shell mount /data after checking the md5s,and before the rest of the commands. heres what it will look like(red are my inputs):

at this point,just pull the battery. put the downgrade PB31IMG on your sd card via a card reader,pop it back in,and power on into hboot. assuming properly named file,properly formatted FAT32 sd card,and correct steps above,it should flash the downgrade. if it doesnt boot after flashing the donwgrade,flash it(the downgrade) again. a second flash has been neccessary for some folks. you wont need to redo any adb commands,simply flash the downgrade a 2nd time.
2)start over as sdraw suggested. to get back to a working phone,youll need to reflash a stock GB image. you can find it here:

you can flash the PB31IMG by putting it on your sd card via a card reader and powering on into hboot.
you can run the RUU .exe utility by simply starting the utility with the phone in fastboot. get to fastboot by powering on into hboot,then use power to select "fastboot" in the hboot menu.
at this point,im afraid to say,you are hosed on making a backup. either option 1 or 2 will wipe your data. unfortunately,you arent the first to have ended up with a non booting phone after running 3.22,but rest assured its not permanently bricked.
one of the 2 options will get you up and running
My HTC Desire has hboot ver prior to 1.06, something like 0.93-0.92 i think. If this is relevant...
in addition to the link that sdraw provided,you can use revolutionary:
public:revolutionary [RootWiki] it supports both the 1.06 hboot of the cdma desire(bravoc) and the hboot .93 and 1.02 of the gsm desire(bravo). you can verify your hboot by powering off,then hold the power and volume down buttons until the hboot screen(white with colored letters) pops up.
