What ROM are you on?

You should flash a repacked version if you are on any rom but Viperx. To fix your bootloop I'll suggest you just look for a repacked version of you're rom, if you can't find one, or there isn't one, I'll do a repack for you. Also you should've typed this in fastboot:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Boot to recovery and flashed those modules(it's the kernel file you downloaded).

So you are rooted then, but on stock? If you are, just make a nandroid backup(Rom manager or from cwm). Go look under clockwork on your SD card and browse that zip for a boot.img file. Upload that to dropbox and post the link. I'll do a repack then

So lets see. You are rooted right? Did you unlock your bootloader via htcdev?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.
I'm assuming both of the stuff just mentioned is true. Also you will need to download the htc drivers, which can be found with their software here:
dl4.htc.com/managed-assets/support/software/htc-sync/htc_sync_setup_3.2.20.exe
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.
Now if you don't have cwm(clockworkmod) recovery installed here is a link for the file: download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.
To flash that file you will need to have the drivers installed as mentioned in above, also you'll need this file here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78880032/fastboot.zip
Now extract this file to your main harddrive.
Example C:/fastboot/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is where you should place the file mentioned at number 2. Also we will work from this folder mostly.
After you installed the htcsync software, and did the steps mentioned above we can go further. Don't forget to answer my two questions at the beginning.

If you do see something then you are ok to flash.
But did you flash the recovery mentioned in my post before?

Yes you can flash that rom. I still don't know why you would want a ruu. Just boot to recovery(there is an option once inside hboot) and go to backup and restore. Just choose the backup option and wait for it to finish.

If I understand you correctly, you want to to flash the rom but your PC can't see your sdcard. Is that right?
You can flash from whatever firmware you are on. It doesn't matter. But if my statement above is correct , then I would presume you want to install your drivers.
You should try to set your phone to USB mass storage and see if your PC can still not see it.

OK I understand. So you should flash the latest recovery of the link in the previous page a gave you.
How to flash recovery:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery xxx.img
Where xxx is the name of the recovery.
Boot your phone to hboot and then choose recovery. Then you go to 'mounts and storage' option and right at the bottom should be USB mass storage(of something similar)

what to do now?

when im trying to type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
it says "'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Reflash the recovery in fastboot. Get 4EXT Touch recovery, boot into fastboot and write in cmd
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

u can get latest 4ext tecovery in my sig, just click PB99IMG 4ext recovery and extract the zip file then put recovery.img in ur c:\ drive on ur computer, put ur phone into fastboot (with ur phone off hold back button + power) and plug it into ur computer (so it says "fastboot usb") then open fastboot command window and type -
fastboot erase recovery
(then type)
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
or... u could just do it the PB99IMG method, instructions in that link.
ps: next time post problems in desire Q&A

Damn. It's not working - neither ur way, nor the alternative solution.
When i type fastboot flash recovery, the console says "sending recovery <3784 KB>...." and then it freezes. There is a greeen rectangle in the left corner of the smartphone screen, but nothing happens.
When i tried the alternetive way (with recovery.img on sd card) HBOOT hasn't seen the image.
EDIT: I put ZIP on sdcard, HBOOT installed recovery, but it still freezes on HTC logo screen.

when u used PB99IMG to install recovery did u try enter recovery or just reboot?
Sent from my HTC Desire

i couldn't install recovery fom PC.
When i installed it form bootloader, i didn't reboot. I tried to get into recovery immediately. No dice. So i've reinstalled it, tried to reboot, and then get in the recovery - still nothing.

hmm strange. u could try Android Flasher, google it and ul find it. its a tool to flash recovery, splash screens etc. also what does ur bootloader say?
bravo pvt?

ok download PB99IMG and put on ur sdcard then hold volume down + power
when bootloader asks to update recovery? press volume up for yes
then it asks to reboot? volume down for no. Then try get into recovery.
or use android flasher to flash recovery.img
Hopefully this will work.
attached files are Amon-Ra Recovery
MD5 for PB99IMG - ec685fe5077341b9b2e89467db861a00
MD5 for recovery.img - 528d44d511a27eb30c3105ed54078130

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnd.....
No.
I'm out of hope now... PB99IMG is beeing installed correctly, but i still can't get into the recovery.
Fastboot/android flasher freezes when installing recovery.
WTF??!

1 more thing, Have u got HTC Sync installed? i think that it interfere's with fastboot n that. u only need the drivers installed.
U can get bootloader so it should be fixable, its just nothing is working lol.
The only thing i can think of is going back to s-on :crying:
you would have to flash alpharev downgrader, flash stock hboot and then run the 2.3 upgrade from bootloader. this is last resort so maybe someone can confirm first before trying. if it went well then u can just use revolutionary to gain s-off and instal CWM recovery

i wouldn't mind going on s-on again. But can u do that without ADB mode available?

not 100% sure but u can do it using the PB99IMG method. Basically u have to extract the rom.zip and rename it to PB99IMG.zip, put on ur sdcard then hold volume down + power then bootloader will ask u to update. The same as before. just make sure u flash Alpharev downgrader first. (i know this works as i done it myself 2 month ago)
if u want i can post both downgrader and rom zip files if u want as PB99IMG?
Do u have stock hboot?

i guess stock hboot.
It would be very kind of you if u post both files here - i don't want to download any wrong files....
Thanks again!

[Q/PrimoC]Recovery does NOT work.

I've tried flashing a recovery.img through fastboot after successfully rooting my phone, but all I can get is a bootscreen hang, note: I can turn on my phone fine, but not the recovery portion of it.
Tried: CWM Recovery through APP and through Terminal.
Info: HTC One V Virgin Mobile, no SIM so PrimoC.
Anything I can do to try to solve this? Would love to flash AOKP or PACman.

Try the TWRP recovery. Works great on mine, and I love the touch screen controls Make sure you place the twrprecovery.img file in your fastboot folder, then flash it in fastboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764183

you may be primo u or you flashed a recovery for primo u because all recoveries are working

[Q] Can't flash ClockworkMod Recovery

Hi,
I've unlocked my bootloader using fastboot like described on htcdev.com. Then, after the reboot, I've installed the ClockworkMod ROM Manager and followed the instructions till the download of the recovery image. Once the download is finished though, I get the message: "An error ocurred while flashing your recovery"? Am I missing some setting or something?
Thanks

ah you bought the rommanager app, well that won't work indeed because we need s-off for those kind of flashing procedures and we don't have s-off on the hox. All flashing goes via fastboot and pc.

I bought rom permium + the touch recovery.

i think the last recovery from them is 5.8.4.0 (or similar) and that works, but not with touch on the latest hboots. waste of money, sorry to say

Thank you for replying, can you just explain how? and what is the latest valid rom that I can get to my Desire HD?
Thank you again

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5xVl2dBTnmI#

You have to extract the boot.img from the zip you are trying to flash inside the folder you have fastboot.Then you give the command fastboot flash boot boot.img to flash the new kernel.
You could also install 4EXT recovery and use smartflash as long as you are s-on.

Thanx a million for all.. I will try to do that today and will forward the results.
Thanx again

ONE QUESTION:
shall I connect the devise at the buginning or after flashinf the boot comand? and in what status the devise should be connected (fastboot or recovery)?
Another thing: as Im running windows, my PC is recognizing the device imidietly, so do I still hav to install any drive from htcdev ? and what drive is that ?
Sorry for that but as I said before, Im a little noob in this..
Thanx in advance..

OK, here are the results:
did the tutorial to the letter as in the link, everything went well till the end, after that I restarted the devise and simply it goes to recovery?
now everytime I restart the devise it goes to recovery automatically?

I told you to install 4ext if you like!
4ext is a recovery with the ability either you are S-ON or S-OFF user can flash for you any kernel you like with smart flash.
What you probably did was to flash this recovery as kernel for your device.If you want to install this recovery you have to install it to recovery partition using fastboot flash recovery {your recovery.img}.
If you want to make your rom working again you have to extract the boot.img file from the zip you was trying to install using recovery and you flash it manually using fastboot flash boot boot.img or you could use 4ext to flash it with smartflash but it would be better if you installed it first to the recovery partition (If you use 4ext now you probably have to make a full flash of your rom except if you find only the kernel in a zip or you have an older nandroid backup with the right kernel to restore).
** You have to enable smartflash only if you are S-ON.If you S-OFF your device you should disable this feature. **

Just extract the boot.img of the rom zip you was trying to install in the folder you have the fastboot and then install it using the command fastboot flash boot boot.img while you are in bootloader.
Don't be confused with 4ext.This is just a recovery like cwm.
