my phone seems to be in a really weird state right now - turning it on does absolutely nothing but adb does in fact detect it.
Code:
List of devices attached
HTXXX    device
and if i run 'adb reboot recovery' i see the device in recovery mode.
Code:
$ adb reboot recovery
$ adb devices
List of devices attached 
HTXXX	recovery
also, while in recovery i can do adb shell and attempt to do a nandroid backup, but i get:
Code:
$ adb shell
~ # nandroid backup
E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]
Can't mount /sdcard
at this point i've called htc to send it in for repair, but i would really like to get a backup before that and also return it to S-ON. i was running the latest clockworkmod and android revolution.

any help would really be appreciated.

yes, it keeps failing when trying to reboot into the bootloader. i've given up at this point - will be sending it back to htc and just hope they don't charge me some ridiculous amount just because i have s-off through the revolutionary script.

Is by any chance you phone connected as disk-drive? Try connecting it as charge only.

well the problem is the screen doesn't turn on so i can't see what's going on. although i'm pretty sure it's not connected as a disk drive because it doesn't automatically enable that.
