Help on trying to unbrick DHD

So since my previous thread is now dead and rather messy to enable myself to help someone help me, I'm making a new one to summarize any attempts and give any info at unbricking this.

So right now, it's not completely bricked.
It's a branded (Three Ireland) DHD, and after attempting to downgrade the phone, it's been constantly stuck at the operator logo (prior to the HTC logo) and won't go any further than that , even after leaving it for a good few hours. The only thing at the moment that can save it (that I'm aware of) is through an RUU.
What I've noticed is that after the attempted downgrade, the cidnum isn't the appropriate one for my network. According to this, it's the UK version instead of the Irish one which is H3G 003.
So after doing some reading, this guide showed me how to edit the androidinfo text file in rom.zip. Unfortunately, everytime I try to save to the archive, it says the archive is corrupt. So I unzipped it, edited it and repacked it. Then I followed that guide to a T (but of course, with a DHD appropriate ROM: RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed) yet I'm getting

Could anyone tell me where I'm going wrong here? D:

INFO Signature fails relate to your sd card. Get a new one.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium

Ah, brilliant. Well, an SD card isn't inserted into it because the previous one I had was causing the bootloader to freeze D:
Gonna try this now and post updates :3

So, the SD card's gone missing *stares at cat*... and I've yet to buy a new one, which won't be for a week or two. How do I get past that error?

As you are still S-ON or you get your RUU or unfortunately you will need a goldcard to flash a different RUU....try borrowing a not corrupted sdcard just to make the goldcard.

It's S-ON still. Though first time I've been home in 2 days so, I'll see if I can obtain an SD card from friends somehow, thanks :3

There is a H3G UK RUU here:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/efa28fefafc4af9c/
Not sure if this is the one you need or not.

Managed to borrow an SD card from a friend, gold carded it and successfully unbricked and rooted the device!
Thanks a lot guys!

which is exactly what you were told to do in the previous as you say "messy" thread

[Q] Stuck In Boot Loop - Hboot Works

Assuming you mean Recovery from the menu, it just reboots back to the HTC Incredible splash screen.

I had a friend's dinc here that acted like that. He did not have it rooted (it was running stock 2.3.4), and usb debugging was not enabled, so it was a bit of a tough nut to crack. We wiped it several times, I installed an RUU, but it just stayed stuck in the bootloop. In his case, the internal storage had gotten messed up, and some of the partitions were just gone. I ended up unlocking the bootloader via htcdev, as that was the only way to get any kind of root level access to the thing. From there, (using the now unlocked fastboot), I could flash clockworkmod recovery and boot into that. Due to the botched partitions, I still couldn't flash any .zip's from recovery, but it did give me root access via adb. From there, I was able to make the changes necessary to run the downgrade to Froyo, per the 'downgrade and s-off' guide. It was the downgrade to Froyo that got the thing booting again, though the internal storage is still messed up. Apparently, Froyo is small enough to fit inside whatever partition his dinc has decided to call 'system', though he hardly has any room to install apps now. I was able to install su via adb, so though he's now running a crippled dinc on Froyo, at least it's rooted.
I know that story probably doesn't help you a whole lot, except that maybe unlocking the bootloader using htcdev and installing a custom recovery that way might give you the access you need to fully wipe your dinc and get it going again.
Edit: Here;s the downgrade and s-off guide with instructions for unlocking hboot, if you decide to go that route:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258
Another edit: Oops, you're already s-off, so you should have lots of options here. I missed that earlier...

Well, If what they suggested does not work (it should) about 6months ago my incredible was stuck in a boot loop so I took out the battery, discharged the whole unit (take the battery out and hold the power button this will insure there is absolutely no electrical current) and stuck all of it in my freezer for 30mins..haha sounds crazy but Ive done it on 3 different HTC phones. Works EVERY TIME

[Q] Stuck on Android 4.0.3

My HTC One X (Endeavour, UK version - stock, as far as I'm aware) refuses to update OTA. It's currently claiming to be on 4.0.3 but checking for updates claims nothing is available when there should be plenty of updates since this. I've tried both through Three and GiffGaff to rule out a crappy provider not having the updates.
Does anyone know why this is happening? And if something odd may be interfering, what it may be and how to revert it?
It's driving me mad.
Thanks.

it's not showing your cid, go on play store and get the app called "cid getter" then tell me what your cid is, or do you already know?

1.29.401. It's unbranded wwe. Use ruu's .....2.17.401 and 3.14.401 are available

@Enverex there you go, get one of the ruu's @Mr Hofs has just mentioned from here>>>>>http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor

Thanks. I downloaded that app and apparently the CID is HTC__001.

Unbranded

Christ this is tedious.
First I had error 170 USB Connection error. Managed to resolve that.
Then 171 USB Connection error. Got around that.
Now I'm on 132 Signarure (yes, not signature) error.

It's mandatory to install the 2.17.401 ruu first with a relocked bootloader. The 3.14 ruu won't work now beecause you come from a to low hboot

I can't post links, I don't have enough posts apparently. It was named "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed".
I downloaded "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed" from another site and that went through successfully, but I've just tried "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed" again and I'm still getting a signature error. Any ideas?

Boot up the phone and check for official ota's ! That might work

My recovery is also not work.
The only thing there seems to work fine is Hboot and Bootloader.
I have never been out for that before and i have looking at the internet to find something there can fix it but have not been locky.
I had installe Revolutionnary but i cant install that again...

Since youve got S-OFF this hopefully shouldnt be too hard to fix. Follow the instructions here to flash 4ext recovery using a PB99IMG. Then go into recovery, full wipe, and flash a rom.

Thanks.... any other idea about a rom

[Q] Stuck on HTC logo after flashing custom rom

I have an HTC Desire HD.
I unlocked it
s-off
rooted
flashed with cwm recovery
installed from ZIP file on SDCARD
rebooted
stuck on HTC logo regardless of what I attempt.
I have no idea where to go from here.
Any ideas?
Thanks

did you made full wipe?

What ROM?....which version of cwm? These are important factors

ClockworkMod Recovery v 5.8.1.5
I have tried different ROMs, all end up with the same scenario
cm-10.1-20130301-unofficial -ace
cm-JellyTime_R17.zip
I hope this answer helps you help me

Can you access boot loader? If so , go to it and post results of "fastboot getvar all". Maybe running an ruu will get u back on track.

Yest, bootloader is accessible and I attempted an RUU and ended up with the same result.
I will post the results of getvar all when I get home, stuck in traffic now

Is this were it stops?
No one has any idea to what it could be, no need for an absolute solution, a mere possible or a reflection as to what I could have done wrong would be appreciated.

LOL
What can i say to you?
As you stated on very first post of yours where you mentioned that your device is S-OFF? then why "INFOsecurity: on" ??
Simply flash any custom rom then extract boot.img from that custom rom .zip file and flash it through fastboot using command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Afterwards it should boot normally. Recovery has no issue nor given rom as you've mentioned on your post. Just requires boot.img to be flashed as your device is S-ON! not S-OFF.

I read a little sarcasm in that LOL
Thanks for the valuable info, I will attempt that as soon as I get home.
I will give feedback as to how successful my attempt has been.

I have attempted the proposed solution and I got the following error:
failed (remote: signature verify fail)
I read that could have to do with the fact that my bootloader is locked again. I did run a while back fastbood oem lock.
oem unlock returns an error.
So I attempted with the htcdev unlock code.bin again and unlocked it.
I ran the boot.img as instructed again and this time it was a success although it gave me a scare with the 4 reboots it performed
Thanks for the help, the tip from dr.patron99 was very helpful.
