I followed the guide on htcdev and unlocked bootloader for my htc merge. I then stupidly tried to flash cm 7 and i am not able to boot. I have a custom recovery installed on it, i am able to adb and can fastboot and get into recovery. I am out of ideas on what to do, and i can't download stock from us cellular because i can't boot into any firmware. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
s on phones are not able to install the boot image from recovery. your rom will not boot becasue you have not installed a cm7 compatible kernel.
your options for recovery are:
1)restore a nandroid backup,wich will use the same kernel currently on your phone
2) boot your recovery into phone memory,and flash your rom again from there. other devices,let this method install the kernel. there are a handful of devices it does not work on,so youll just have to try it. more info here:

this is in the rezound forum,but the info applies- just use a merge specific discovery
3)install the boot image manually. in a nutshell,put the boot image into your adb/fastboot directory and install it in fastboot with
fastboot flash boot boot.img

once you get back to a working phone,i would highly recomend to try and become s off/supercid. it will make your rom flashing experinces much happier,plus an odd quirk with the merge seems to be the bootloader periodically relocks itself
its well worth your efforts to become s off.
