Root HTC Screen Boot Loop with CM7

Currently my incredible gets stuck in a boot loop with the HTC screen. When this first happened I wasn't worried as I figured I'd just go to recovery mode and restore. However when I go into HBOOT all options lead me right to the white HTC screen. Once I get to the HTC Screen the only option is to do a battery pull as it will just cycle from off to HTC Screen. Before this happened the phone was working, the last action I took was to allow some market updates.

The phone also seems to only charge when connected to a USB port with drivers(I say this as it only charges when plugged into the computer I used to root it, not the wall or other computers).

I'm not sure if its related but twice since going to CM7 I've had to call version and have them push an authentication key to my phone, and the 2nd time was about 12 hours before this happened. Previously I've had problems with my phone randomly rebooting(got much better when I rooted and when to CM 7, but has happened a few times) and sometimes deleting all of my contacts until I can re-sync with google.

I'm not sure if there is anything I can do as I currently can't get to the recovery screen from bootloader, but I figured I'd post something up here and throw a hail-mary before replacing the device.
 
I wonder if you can 'adb reboot recovery' without the phone being completely responsive?....
 
Yeah...I'm not sure either. It could be skipping hboot due to fastboot. If your phone won't boot I'm not sure how you'd go about turning that off either.
