HBOOT 1.76.0007 will only boot HTC signed images.
If you can get into normal OS of the phone there is a way.
You can use flashrec to get a custom recovery image on it.
Follow these instrcutions from the Unlockr:

Follow it closely, once you have the new recovery flashed you can update HBOOT.
WARNING: Flashing your HBOOT is risky and you may brick your phone. I'm not responsible
I've got a HBOOT 1.76.0004 signed zip you can use to flash your HBOOT.

Hope this helps. If you got any more questions, it's better to ask them before flashing

I will give it a try. Thanks for your help.

Can you please upload the HBOOT 1.76.0004 to another hoster. On mediafire thers is a javascript error try it with tow different browsers on two computer.

Is there anbody who knows how to flash HBOOT 1.73.0004 without sd card???
My phone doesn't recognize sd cards anymore. That was the reason why i have flashed the new ROM with RUU. I thought that it maybe will work. There is another thread for this.

I can't get the new recovery since my build can't except adb or fastboot boot. Is their away to update the hboot other than that?

Any one success in using fastboot to boot the recovery image in ruu mode as show in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559204 ?

It doesn't work in RUU mode. I have tried all ways. I try flashing hboot with zip file and with img file directly.
Every time ERROR - <<writing 'hboot'... INFOsignature checking... FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)>>.
I have tried flashing recovery to patched with the same ERROR occurred. Also boot command in RUU mode with patched recovery doesn't work.

Have you guys tried using the latest flashrec to get a custom recovery on the phone?

I have tried flashrec-1.1.2-20090909 and doesn't work, if you check out this forum , we have been trying to see how to fix this problem with no luck so far

I have tried with flashrec and it works, successful with some custom recovery images. However, if I keep the stock ROM Hero 1.5, I don't have root access (su commands are not allowed). With some custom ROM like Modaco 3.0, Hero 2.1 (v1.5), I do have root access with su and I can use some apps like AppsToSD, QuickBoot....
I tried to go back to the stock ROM Hero 1.5 to root but I couldn't get root access on this ROM, anyone knows how to deal with this?

There is a later version of Flashrec... i have no idea if it will help or work but give it a go... its available here: http://zenthought.org/system/files/asset/2/flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk

Thank you for your answer regarding the easy ace removal tool. what i would like to know is do i have to go install a new RUU from htcdev.com? because i download the one for h3g but the feedback i got was that it wasnt the right download for the right model. and can i continue with the rest of the process on htcdev without installing a new RUU?

Depends. What did the tool say when you tried to run it? If you need a RUU and can't find a compatible one, make a goldcard and flash any RUU that supports hboot unlock.

i tried flashing it with this fastboot flash "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.0-ace.img" from the tutorial at http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/02/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-htc-desire-hd/ and got that "writing 'recovery' ... FAILED (remote: not allowed)" error. i tried the link in my previous promised to set my fon to ENG S-OFF which would in turn solve the "(remote: not allowed)"error and enable me to use fastboot.
Um...is your phone in fastboot mode? Like, did you select fastboot from the hboot menu?
yes i did. and now this is what it says "FAILED (status read failed (too many links))". for some reason im unable to add the screenshot to the post else i would have. what does it mean "too many links"?
still not working
@bananagranola no further tips for me?
Nope. Never seen than error before. Maybe someone else has.

[Q] Bricked Desire plz help

hello everybody...
a friend of mine just gave me his desire, he bought a used one and tried something to update its rom, but now its bricked and its in my hand to be fixed.
the problem is that it doesnt boot at all... i mean when i press power button to make it on, the htc logo appears and starts again and again with a little VIBRATE. so i can say that its in a boot loop.
ok when i press vol down and power button it goes into the boot loader, where it is written that its S-ON with boot loader .93, and when i click on recovery it goes into the boot loop like i wrote above.
i also have a Desire HTC and it is rooted using unrevoked and i m running an HD rom over it. its a complete packaged phone...
i have a knowlege how to root and etc. but in this bricked desire case i dont know what to do. coz it never happened to me... i also searched the forum for a solution, didnt got any.
please help me in this matter... ask me question and please give me a solution,/

i think it is working, but it says while installing that from image 2.33..... to imrage 2.29.... and then it tries to push everyting i mean tryies to run its setup and within 2 min it says Customer ID error, try someother package...
edit 1: i itried your way also by copying that zip file and then pasting it on the sd card... i sucessfully loaded in fastboot but i think the same error as above,,, CID error...
now what can i do?
edit 2: Have also tried unrevoked in fastboot mode... power on fastboot usb and then starting unrevoked, but unrevoked keep saying to connect device and enable usb debugging mode. nothing happens
thanks Hassan
1. Download this:
http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH
2. Follow this guide to get the ZIP out of the RUU and flash off the SD card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10509780&postcount=102
Assuming the phone is unbranded it'll work, or at least get the phone booting again. If it fails flashing the ROM for any reason then it's a branded phone and you'll need to speak to the seller to find out where it's from

but going into vol down and menu and then pressing recovery also enables the boot loop with htc white screen and vibrate on everyboot
I think that easier way not loosing the root would be flash once again recovery were you using clockwork recovery? Beside if the phone is branded you will need a goldcard
so i think you should instal adb http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
then you need to recovery image which you can find here http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...a-recovery-ra-desire-v2-0-1-27-11-2010-a.html
put recovery on c drive sdk folder and open cmd on your windows and put a command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
U can try to put ur phone on bootloader, then plug it to ur pc and run the RUU from windows..It should restore all, after that u can root it with unrevoked and do what u want..

U cant flash the recovery on S-ON desire..maybe worth a try to run unrevoked again and see if its work, but i dont believe
i have written clearly that the phone is not going in recovery nor it is booting in to some sort of rom or recovery that i flash new recovery.but if you tell me or direct me to some tutotial to flash recovery in adb mode, may be i can unbrick my device. but c i cant boot into recovery. i can just boot into fastboot.
you dont need recovery to flash recovery fastboot is the only thing you need

ya boot in fastboot, plug it to ur pc and run the ruu from windows.
if ur desire is S-ON there is NO way to flash a recovery...just unrevoked can flash the recovery if u are S-ON, but if ur phone doesn't boot, unrevoked will not work i think

With ur guide he can run the ruu without stay connected to the pc..but he can flash it directly from the pc (if phone usb work), as is more easy (at least in my opinion)..the phone in fastboot mode is not a problem, as the ruu handle that case

In the info you stated s-on.
Shouldn't it be s-off for flashing.
Did you try reflashing recovery through fastboot and then trying to boot into recovery using HOLD vol. - and PRESS power?
When will you guys learn to search and also that a bricked phone doesn't do anything more than a brick can do? (hence the word bricked) You can't turn on a brick can you? I.e. your phone is not bricked...

how about you listen to hawk.
Find the RUU for your exact version. Only that will work on your device in its current state.
Agreed. Once you have flashed the RUU you can root s-off etc.
i can find a zip file which name is Desire_HD_1.37.921.1_stock_twn.zip. I couldnt find a RUU.exe just find a zip file. How can i use it?
i think i use this zip file with clockwork recovery. But the question is how can i install clockwork recovery at my situation.
Is it possible to install with this command " fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.1-passion.img " for example.
Any idea? Any suggestion?

You can't install clockwork as you don't have s-off.
You need to find the .exe RUU.
Check through the posts left by hawks. If they don't work search google. Also if You still can't find one. Check the htc website for an RUU update. Depending on on your operator you may need an RUU from them instead. I know t-mobile uk release seperate updates from htc.

And just so you don't think I'm only being mean, I'd recommend finding the RUU for the rom version that you have on your phone now and running that...

Wow, that's ALOT of threads about this subject... I guess you must be REALLY slow if you can't find one of these.

Trying to unroot

Okay, so S-OFF on my phone. I tried to do the forever unroot zip, but that didn't work..so i flashed the stock PC36IMG.zip file. Now the phone doesn't boot at all..it gets stuck at the white htc evo 4g screen. Recovery mode is inaccessible (has the evo with a red triangle). Is there anyway to fix this?
Yes, but need more info from your bootloader, especially your Hoot version and radio numbers.

And which "stock PC36IMG.zip file" did you try to flash?
I don't remember..it was one i had on my computer from when i unrooted my last one. I believe they were the same hboot/radio numbers..

You can't flash that zip, because your HBOOT is a newer version than the one which you're trying to flash. Red triangle, is the recovery, stock recovery. If you push vol up + power, you'll see android recovery system. Try running an RUU of the stock ROM you want.
How do i get my computer to recognize my phone?
Also, how do i flash an RUU if there is no option to do so?

Only way of doing that is from within an operational phone, Android environment. Or via custom recovery. Since yours isn't booting. Boot your bootloader, choose fastboot and flash a custom recovery via cmd prompt. From within the recovery you can mount the phone, turning the SD card in your phone into a flash drive on your computer.

I'm assuming you have Hboot 6.16.1002. In that case you need Captain Throwback's unroot method with the correct PC36IMG files.

Get your phone to that red triangle screen, run the RUU on your desktop (follow steps), connect your phone. Should load the ROM for you. RUU is available here.

Weird that unrevoked s-on didn't work, since you have a compatible radio. You might want to try flashing it again, once you get a custom recovery installed again.

I am downloading it now, but i thought RUU was a type of rom..if so, how do i run it on the computer?
I know how to root, but have never done this before.

I tried flashing the s-on tool several times, but it didn't work. Iv'e had s-off for a while now, but couldn't actually flash roms for some reason..

A RUU is an executable file that runs on your computer environment which will push the ROM to your phone via sync cable. RUU= ROM update/upgrade utility.
Must you have S-On, to switch carriers, or do you just need the stock ROM on your phone?

I didn't see that you had clockworkmod as your recovery before. That's probably why it didn't work. I agree with the above; I'd just flash a stock rooted ROM. Just download the PC36IMG.zip for RA-supersonic v2.3 and put it on the root of your sd card (you can take it out of the device and connect it to a computer using a card reader) to flash in bootloader.
My phones touch screen is acting up..and i think it was the rom.
Fastboot > RUU > PC36IMG (hboot 2.16.00001 S-ON) > RUU. Best way in my opinion.

Benefits of upgrading bootloader?

I am still running the .92 bootloader. I am running cm10.1. Is there any benefits to upgrading?

Only benefit is that you can unlock it, and are then able to fastbot flash recoveries and boot images.

I'm so thankful that cmlusco had these simple words listed here. I was trying without success to flash a recovery via hboot.92 to no avail. I am s-off and rooted running tinys cm10.1. The problem started when i wanted to use twrp as a recovery. I tried installing that in android itself with goomanager. It said it was successful so tried to reboot into recovery. no dice. it now doesn't even have cwm recovery which was what i was trying to replace. it just goes back into hboot. so i thought, "ok, i'll just adb it" again either with shell in android or via fastboot in hboot it says remote failed. this one line he just wrote tells me that despite everything i have, i cannot install via hboot. The only thing that works is having a pb31img file to install it. the problem is, most recoveries come in .img. so I thought i could just repackage it as a zip and use the txt from another twrp i had previously gotten to work by way of a pb31img and create my own new pb31img with the newest version (the old one i had was already made by someone else and installs flawlessly). basically now i'm curious if i should just ask how to make the newest twrp into a proper pb31img file to flash (since i know this works) or is there an easy way to upgrade hboot.092 to 1.07? Any help on either of these or both subjects would be greatly appreciated. Just for the record cmlusco, am i right in thinking the reason i can't fastboot flash my recovery is because my loader is locked somehow despite being rooted and s-off? will upgrading to hboot 1.07 enable all of what i want to do? Also, what's the best way to go about doing this? I have everything i need backed up so no worries there. Thanks in advance to any and all help!

You don't even need to go through all that trouble. Just use the PB31IMG.zip here:
PB31IMG.zip - 3.61 MB
It's also in the TWRP thread on one of the last few pages, TWRP 2.4.1.0.

Correct you can not fastboot flash unless your bootloader is unlocked. Since your s-off you can update the bootloader by flashing this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.07/PB31IMG.zip, thru hboot. Once updated, you can unlock it and then flash img files with fastboot.
However, here is the TWRP 2.4.1.0 PB31IMG.zip http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.4.1.0/PB31IMG.zip, if you dont want to update the bootloader. You may need to flash it two or three times to get it to take.

Thanks to you and tiny for such a quick and simple response. pb31img used and updated perfectly! Just curious, cmlusco, in your signature i noticed you on hboot 1.07 but it's locked. Any particular reason for having it locked? I have yet to update mine but i did download and organize the pb31 hboot img you gave me for possible future use ( if i feel the need). Other than the aformentioned advantage of flashing hboot via fasboot and adb, is there any other advantage of hboot 1.07? Thanks again guys, you make my life easier.

Not really, S-OFF should get you what you need. You only miss the ability to flash via fastboot without an unlocked HBOOT. PB31IMG.zip works fine with S-OFF.
