Not sure if you solved this problem but it happened to me last Thursday and I was not sure how I could flash CWR 3.0.0.6 without being into a rom and using Rom Manager per the thread.

So I went through multiple roms and the one that allowed me to get past the boot screen with CWR 3.0.0.5 was RoyalGinger. Give that a go.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeverAlwaysEver:
As I thought, his phone is still S=on and not S=off. TeamRoyal's RoyalGinger says it requires CWM 3.0.0.6 so if that doesn't work, flash Ice Glacier, which works for sure with CWM 3.0.0.5 from this link (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=844594) and see if it will load (not sure because your note says your phone is still S=on). If that doesn't work, try restoring back to stock nandroid from here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=845756) and follow those instructions well and I believe that should work. After you have restored back to stock, if you still wish to root, properly root your phone again with any method you like and install eng hboot .85 and flash any custom ROM you like.

How i fixed it

Look if you have Cyanogon mod 7 this is how I fixed it. I first wiped everything possible just not the Sd card. And then do a fresh install of CM7 and thats how it worked for me. I was freaking out about the same thing couple of days ago. And the idea struck in the middle of spanish class. well hope that helps you. Give it a try and let me know
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daddyroot:
Gmorning brother!

Boot into recovery mode.

(sounds like you are doing this just fine)

Please go to mount

Option and format every option EXCEPT SDCARD.

Then

Plug into your pc and in command prompt:

adb remount

adb shell

abd mount -a

ls /system/bin (look for flash_image) if not there, pull it from the cyan rom you downloaded Next:

Select mount usb from your phone screen (hopefully you are still on the mount/format page)and place on your sdcard and then back on command prompt :

mount -oremount,rw -t yaffs2 mtdblock3 /system

mv /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin/flash_image

chmod 4755 /system/bin/flash_image

Now you can successfully

Do

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recover.img

However

I WOULD DO THIS:

adb remount

adb shell

adb mount -a

(now try the sequence of commands to replace hboot with eng hboot ,

Just you described doing already.

Except this time, the last command will work.

Don't believe you mounted the partition ...

Hope this makes sense.

I wish I had your phone in front of me as I know this is easily fixable by someone with trial and error experience, lol

Good luck!

yes it says installed, but it doesnt show in the version number of the acutal recovery, also to clear up some people questions...i am stuck at splash...HOWEVER i can pull the battery, do a hboot and get into my recovery...thats how i been using the recovery this whole time...i didnt mean to fconfuse anyone...hopefully this helps in the aid of the problem...like i said from here on im learning what i can about it so when the new one comes i can successfully root and flash it.

After you installed it did u reboot? If so have u tried flashing anything?

May I suggest corrupted files. Wipe everything, including your sd card! From there try a new fresh dl of a .5 compatible rom and flash! Happens to me back at the alphas! Thats how I deal with it!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VibrantOwnr:
be sure to back up any important files off your sd before wiping it
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atrocityg1:
still no luck, and as you know kenpoAP i figured out the streak 7, when testing was needed, with VERY little instruction and was successful, so whatever i did here, when i forgot the -s command for gfree, and the .05 instead of .06 really mess up this whole deal

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
ok, I am willing to try and help but there is no guarentee that I will be able to. Here is the thing though. If I start trying to help I need you to answer the questions I ask and not others so we can figure out what exactly is going on. I dont feel like trying to distinguish what you are trying or who you are listening to on the thread and what not. If you would rather use gtalk to communicate I am fine with that, just let me know and I will pm you my gchat. It seems like you have tried most of the methods that have been suggested so you really have nothing to loose. Personally I am skeptical about you fixing it but I really wont know until I get some concrete answers for a couple of questions. Thanks

Ok shot in the dark here guys but could the radio version he is running be causing his issues? I'm not an expert here but I didn't see radio version mentioned.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion766:
In CW screen, connected to PC, I would manually mount SD card in CW, and install a recovery from XDA, onto your device, then restore that recovery, all through CW.

I have fixed my phone a few times this way. I just searched for someone's Rom/Recovery that needed the CW recovery I had access to from boot.

Stock Sense/UI I have found is a great way to fix your phone, then fool around from that again.

Edit: I believe I saw you say you were stuck in CW 3.05, try downloading Glacier onto your computer and installing onto your SD as above stated, and flashing that.

Edit 2: Also for some reason, i believe you want to try to install whatever ROM in the restore folder, I have noticed this matters to avoid md5 errors. I think.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeverAlwaysEver:
As I assume, custom ROMs wont boot because your phone is still S=on so thats why I said, try doing nandroid stock restore from the link I previously gave. That's a simple thing. Have you tried that?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faux123:
Just a wild crazy suggestion:

Since you are stuck with 3.0.0.5, have you tried to flash my orange sense rom to see if you can get pass you current situation.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
Not sure how anything can be done if he still has s=on and .86 bootloader. He didn't do gfree properly, so basically he has a half-hacked phone. If PD15IMG.zip isn't working, I fail to see how anything in recovery could work either. I don't know much, but it sure looks like he's stuck.

I had to erase to stock order to fix it but i got it fix, thats the good news. PM I would tell you where to go, its not a trick BRO..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion766:
What Faux said, and I believe I may have too. If stuck in CW 3.05, flash a 3.05 required ROM.

Worse case, format or try another SD card, with nothing on, and flash Orange Sense, and try to install zip that way
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
So, you pretty much have a hardware problem. At this point you might as well try to dd the system.img from a 2.3 rom onto your phone.

i just noticed something small that might make a difference

if you are in a windows computer, open up your sdcard.

inside that window, go to tools, folder options

make sure the box that says "hide extensions of known file types" is NOT CHECKED

now make sure the file is named pd15img.zip

if the box was checked, you could be renaming it pd15img.zip.zip since you couldnt see the extension

i know all about extensions esp in windows, so naturally i checked..it definetly found the file, it gets to the part where it says checking and then it gets put back at hboot if i remember correctly or it goes to splash...but either way...never boots. i gather it shouldnt take 1hr+ to boot...and i left it for well over that, so i think its DONE, so who here has an idea of how i can permabrick this thing soto speak or get rid of clockwork? i gotta try to get it gone please if anyone got a idea im wide open , we can even run through it together....i can get on gchat on my streak 7 if need be? getmeonmystreak7@gmail.com im getting on now if anyone wants to join me in figureing out how to ruin a device without physical damge, i told tmo it got to splash and freeze, so thanks to anyone who has put in work to help me already and in the future. next time i know not to be so careless in mis reading guide, and being more open to my peers and resources.:)

and of course it aint a brick if it turns on at all, so...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KenpoAP:
Fully understand the guide sir! The fact that he is returning the phone is what I don't get. If you help him, and the unit indeed turn on and go back to stock, why is he returning it? Why he can't try and perform the root and s-off again? Just wondering? With your help, the unit is functional again or not? Only to know what do work with all this!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnpapadakos:
yeah, i know, its an odd situation; they already got a replacement in the mail, so after all was said and done, this was really just an effort to restore the phone to stock so he could send it back without worry

it was a nice challenge, though :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atrocityg1:
well i never read that guide because i didnt see it lol

so yes the phone was fixed, the new one gets rooted when i get home tonight, i tried last night but i got an error when i did gfree command so i just started over and let it be...which if i had done that to begin with i woulda been fine...

and yes to confirm the old phone is ONLY getting returned becasue the new one came...so at this point i could brick either, keep the working one and send the other back if something unfortunet happened tonight lol

For anyone having soft boots or can't get pass splash screens, the alternative is reverting back to stock and re-rooting. Make sure the PD15.img file is updated, and follow the root instructions properly. I've encounter this issue when flashing more than 3 roms a day, and flashing the .img file in hboot always worked form me. Unlike the Vibrant and mytouch, Glacier doesn't use the SuperOne Click.

Yup same thing happened to me. Vegan 5.1x works and none of the gingerbread ones.

I repartitioned 2048/0

Reformat tool

reinstalled stock

Did above without reinstalling stock

My original tab works great for the gingerbread roms, while the woot batch does not. (have had 2 cross my desk so far, we bought a lot of them for work purposes)

It's not horrible because vegan 5.1.1 works and that is fine.

Asop (both variants) don't work

vegan gingerbread experimental doesn't work

CM7 RC 3 + RC4

they all hang during the viewsonic birds screen.

The only thing I have not tried, is not using the update method for installing CW .8 bekit, but trying the old nvflash method instead.

So I may break that out and give it a whirl in a bit... But this one has me baffled. Prolly need someone with higher android IQ :D
