Bricked phone using unrevoked3.1 PLEASE HELP

Please help, I think I bricked my Incredible and would appreciate any help or suggestions. I used unrevoked3 to root and flash the cynogenmod 6 nightly rom and then the google apps. Today i downloaded v3.1 of unrevoked to update my phone to a newer rom. I downloaded and installed the drivers but when I went to use unrevoked it would just reboot my phone and get stuck on the message "flashing recovery, do not touch phone" and never change, but my phone was just rebooted and working normal. So in the process of trouble shooting the problem I did a hard reset on the phone to see if it would help using a fresh clean rom. But when I went to reboot the phone, it got stuck in a boot loop. So now, my phone wont turn on all the way and I cant get to the recovery screen using unrevoked to utilize my nand backup that I had made. any help would be very appreciated!

Have you tried this?

While the phone is turned OFF, press and hold the VOL DOWN key and then press and hold the POWER button... (So, you should have VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON held down) and wait until it boots into HBOOT.

In HBOOT, you should have 4 options: FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, CLEAR STORAGE, SIMLOCK.

You do realize that you don't use unrevoked to flash ROMs, right? For that, you either boot into CWM Recovery or use ROM Manager.

Yea, but nothing in the hboot menu seems to do anything useful. I just end up back into the reboot loop. Unless you know any tricks in that menu?

Yea, download the ruu, extract the rom.zip from it, rename to PB31IMG.zip and toss on sd card. Your phone will go back to it's factory shipped state.

This thread will help you extract the zip file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hlight=rom.zip

the unrevoked tool is only to establish root and INSTALL the recovery, not to actually run it for you. to get into recovery you just turn the phone off, then hold volume down + power until it gets to the bootloader, then you just press volume down to highlight recovery and press power to select it. this brings up the recovery. (or download Quick Boot from the market which can automatically reboot your phone in recovery for you.)
