Hello, I have like eight hours of continuous searching for solve this problem.
I installed like two months ago the Android Revolutionary HD 6.1.5 ROM, i did S-off, Radio-off, Root, etc, following the tutorials of XDA. But i installed the actualization of ARHD 6.2.0 and it works very nice but one day later when i was talking by the phone it stopped, then sense was not responding, and it finally restarted alone.
The big problem is it was only showing the HTC logo and then the screen puts black.
I get into HBoot and it searches for PD98IMG.zip
i putted the PD98IMG.zip in the card and it says this:
- Sd checking...
Loading...[PD98DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PD98DIAG.nhb]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PD98img.zip]
I say yes and it shows:
- Image unzipping fail!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot
I tried a lot of RUU`s, like 13 and i can´t find one who works, the only who was acepted was ono withe the recovery only. With USB it does not work either.
I sent it to the company who sold me it and they have no idea about...
I hope you can help me, i am a little dissapointed, because i tried all the RUU`s what i founded in the web.
Thank you very much, Freesoft.

Try to go into recovery mode. What exactly is the problem. If it is not booting in...go to recovery and select fix permissions... this will solve any problems. If not try to install a rom with full wipe and reboot. If you flash a PD98IMG.zip then once again you need to root, S OFF, etc etc....
Stop what you are doing before you brick your phone.
The PD98 error you are getting happens to all rooted DHD's, and is nothing to worry about (delete it from your sd card). RUU's are for stock devices, or for returning to stock.
Check to make sure you haven't screwed up your root access, and flash a ROM .zip file from the developers thread (in recovery, from your sd card). And always check the checksum before flashing.

Well, actualy, i can`t get into Recovery, it reboots and the screen turns black, the only thing what the phone admits is PD98IMG.zip.
Thank you very much for responding!
Delete that file from your SD card, and check if you can get into recovery. If yes, download superWIPE for ARHD, and ARHD rom and install it ( it's different base i think, so you have to superWipe it )
PD98IMG.zip is the radio, if that's what you need they can all be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996630
Might be worth flashing the latest and seeing if your phone behaves enough afterwards to let you get into recovery.
I take it you are trying from bootloader?
Also does your computer recognize the phone on usb?

Sounds to me your Recovery has an error.
Download and extract Android Flasher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638
Boot into Bootloader & select fastboot
Use AndroidFlasher to install a new Recovery image.
Link to my copy of of the previous 4ext Touch recovery, so it should work.
Extract the image to wherever you extracted AndroidFlasher and make sure you select 'already in fastboot' prior to flashing.
Then you should be able to get into Recovery. Full wipe, install ROM, etc.
Hope this solves your problem.

I am trying all this and i think it will work, the problem is my phone is "SHIP S-OFF"
But i don`t know hot to change from Ship to ENG...
Thank you very much for the answer, from now in one week i think my DHD will work again
If memory serves, you only need Eng to change the radio.
But don't quote me on that

I have tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396253
The PD98IMG.zip worked, so i am glad my desire is not bricked yet.
I still not having access to recovery, my phone is SHIP S-OFF not ENG S-OFF and i can`t change the Recovery, i can`t install the SDK drivers for bootloader.
I tried too with Android Flasher, and there doesn`t work because my phone is not ENG S-OFF.
My questions are this: how i can change now to ENG S-OFF?
What else i can do for revive the Desire HD?
Thank a lot for responding this post, i don`t know what i`ll do without all of you!
Personally I see no reason to Eng soff. You can still flash radios and recoveries with just regular soff. Just its done in a different way.
In that thread you posted their is a link for cwr in a pd98img. Just follow the directions I wrote.(its the first section)
But if you are set on getting Eng soff in the dev section you can use jkoljo tool.
Your second question confuses me. You said your phone is now working so what do you mean by reviving your phone?
Well, i tried ADB, the problem now is when i installed the drivers, in the command prompt i cant find my phone.
I was trying with this:
C:\adb devices
List of devices attached
In Device Manager it appairs like: Android Phone>Android ADB Interface
What i can do now?
I know I'm a little annoying, but I will really appreciate your help if we make it work!
Anyone can help with ADB with desire hd?
Well to be able to use command prompt on your computers first off would be to add the adb path which is normally C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools or in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools
Then you'll be able to use adb commands.
if not while in command prompt, just use the cd command to get in that directory so you can use the adb.exe
per exemple;
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools
then you'll be able to use commands has
adb push [the file which should be in the same place] /data/local/tmp
Then if you just want to run command on your cell interface just write
adb shell
if you're in root you should start to write beside a #
it would look
<C:\[path]>adb shell
# [here you'll run command on your cellphone]
because if you run in command prompt right away
<C:\>adb device
without having the file to get the adb.exe
But as for using adb shell, if your device is connected and activated in debugged mode you'll be fine.

I did that, it doesn`t work because it says "error: device not found" i tried reinstalling many times the ADB drivers and another few with the path file, no results. With "adb devices" it says "list of devices attached" then, nothing.
I am really gratefull with all your answers, i hope we can made it work
I have a question more, it`s posible to put it in "debugging mode" from HBOOT?
Thanks a lot!
So, nobody can help me? that who help me will be rewarded!
You said only the recovery pd98 works. Reflash it. After it reboot and hangs take out battery and SD card. Reinsert battery and enter boot. Wait for it to scan, then reinsert sdcard and enter recovery. Wipe and reflash a rom or backup
Edit - still confused, from your pm you suggested that your dhd doesn't work? I need a simple yes it boots or doesn't, before we can go anywhere

Hello everyone,
I think this might be my first post here.
Anyways, I have a rather depressing problem. I have my phone rooted running cm 6.1, and when i was about to go to sleep last night, it randomly started to reboot. At first i did not think anything of it because i have had my phone do this several times with cm. But then i became more concerned, it would go into a boot loop at the splash screen (htcEVO4g). Once again, i have had this happen before and i would do a wipe and reinstall the rom, but this time it did not work. I could not get into recovery. I am able to access only the boot loader.
So, i tried to install the stock pc36img. Now when i start my phone, it vibrates 5 times followed by the flashing green led. it also does this when i try to go into recovery. I am still able to get into the bootloader.
i tried doing the ruu thing, and different pc36img
I just got back from the sprint store. After waiting 3 hours, they were not able to fix it. I had told them it was rooted and everything.
If there is no way to fix it, is there at least a way i can turn s-on? That way, i can send it back to sprint.
That is odd. As far as I know, if you used unrevoked forever at any point, the only way to get s on is to flash the unrevoked s on tool, using recovery. But you don't have recovery. If I were you, I would use your computer to format your sd card to fat 32 ( after backing it up, of course) , then put a pc36img on your sd card, and try to flash again using the bootloader. You could also try putting a pc36img of amon ra recovery on your sd card, and flashing that with the bootloader. Maybe you can get recovery back, and flash a rom, or the s on tool. Hope you get it worked out.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If I were you I would try the newest pc36img.zip and if that does nothing a pc36img.zip of Amon ra. If that doesn't work go to the last link in my sig about splash screens. In that tut I give, I say how to manually run an ruu. Use the pc36img.zip with the fast boot commands from the thread. Hope this helps.
i tried formatting the sc card, and that did not do anything. How can i connect my phone to adb?

Just Download the android SDK and follow the steps. There are some pretty excellent tutorials on XDA and other sites that will walk you through the whole process.
I want to weigh in here for just a moment. There is no way your phone is completely botched, unless it has experienced physical damage (including any overheating). By the way, you running any SBC kernels?
I would look into learning your way around ADB, I think it's a necessary tool for anyone who wants to flash and alter their android phones, unfortunately things have become so easy that many out there haven't had to learn these tools and how to use them.
Seriously, go mess with ADB, I am sure you can get it running again.
Some good info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865204 on using ADB and other methods that may help you.

ok, so i connect the phone, and in device manager i see "Android Bootloader Interface"
i opened up command prompt, and tried to push a file to the phone and i got this

you sure your usb cable is good? id run the RUU to go back to stock & unroot you. then start over from scratch.
i just tried a different cable. No luck
I have already tried a stock ruu, that still does not let me get into recovery or turn s-on
your sorta up ****s creek here if you told sprint you rooted. they probably flagged your account.
is your sd card good? try another, fully formatted for fat32 only. then try the s-on flashable zip. that's all i can think of for you to do. if you need another evo, im sure you can pick one up for cheap on craigslist.
nobody ever took my information
Is there an s-on flashable zip?!?! where can i find it? i have searched before with no luck
first of all, adb doesnt work in bootlaoder. select fastboot, then plug in. you should see fastboot usb come up on the phone. now try using fastboot commands instead. not sure where to download fastboot commands. i have the mac ones if you need them. then do this
with the pc36img.zip ON YOUR COMPUTER:
after flashing s-on tool http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever-son.zip
fastboot oem rebootRUU
you should see a black screen with silver htc lettering
fastboot flash zip pc36img.zip (do this command with the pc36img.zip in the same directory as fastboot)
you should see a green bar appear under htc and a bunch of lines on the comp. make sure it successfully completes, then type:
fastboot reboot
done.
but make triple sure you are s-on first.
thank you very much, that makes things ALOT clearer.
I am still a huge noob to this stuff so i need to ask you some silly questions:
i found out the commands for fastboot in a wiki,
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot
but i dont really understand how to use them. can someone please give me a little clarification.
well, first check your sdk and see if you have fastboot.exe. i know the mac one doesnt come with it. if you dont google it. if you do, cd to the directory (hold shift and right click in the folder. select open command prompt here) and boot phone into fastboot. make sure it is in fastboot usb mode. then do the commands.
i have the fast boot exe and i am in command prompt.
when i say i am a noob, i really mean it.
for example, when i try a simple command like checking the serial number, i will input
c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot <-s>
or
c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot -s
or
c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot <serial number>
it says
the syntax of the command is incorrect.
i really dont know how to use this stuff
ok forget the last post,
i figured that out
what partition do i want to flash and with what file?
No partition just use the pc36img.zip in ruin more and type fastboot flash zip pc36img.zip.

i researched the "(remote: not allowed)" error message, and everyone says its cause when the phone is set to s-on. However, on my phone it says s-off.
what the heck?
Starting from a new stock Desire HD, I have attempted gaining root access using Visionary (r14). Temproot worked, but permroot apparently failed. My device rebooted, but didn't come back up - I get the phone-with-red-triangle screen.
If I pull the battery and then boot into the bootloader, using the Image CRC menu option I can see that my system partition has been modified (but all other partitions are unchanged):
<redacted>
Do I have any options available to me now, or am I screwed?
My phone is a stock Desire HD A9191 (stock HBOOT S-ON, stock recovery, stock radio S-ON):
Code:
Branded (Vodafone Australia)
<redacted>
Is there magic process that can be done to re-flash the faulty system partition?
Any help would be hugely appreciated. Sorry to make this my first post to the forums, but I'm well and truely stuck... hopefully not permanently, but I have that sinking feeling
What happens when on the red triangle screen, you HOLD the volume up, and then press power button? I think this will take you to stock recovery. Reboot if you have the option, or Wipe data & factory reset.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Thanks UpInTheAir.
At the red-triangle screen I press vol-up and power, and it displays the Android system recovery screen. It shows the options:
1 Reboot system now
2 Apply sdcard:update.zip
3 Wipe data/factory reset
4 Wipe cache partition
I've tried (3) and (4) and then rebooted, but it does not help - the phone continues to boot into the red-triangle screen.
It looks to me like the system partition was incorrectly modified / corrupted by visionary, and somehow flashing it back to a known-good condition seems like the only way forward...
Is it possible to use option (2) to flash a new rom if I package it up and put it on the SD card somehow? My phone is branded vodafone-australia, and they have not published any RUU update files yet. I gather that using a WWE rom update from HTC will not be possible?
Try DL think stock 1.32 RUU
Rename to PD98IMG.zip (not .zip.zip, do not extract)
Put PD98IMG.zip onto sdcard
HOLD volume down, and power on -> this will boot into Bootloader
Start update and follow the prompts
I hope this helps, but as always, please don't hold me responsible if anything goes pear-shaped.
Thanks again. Downloading now, and will update this post when I've tried it out. Cheers.
You'll need to make a Goldcard to flash this ROM (if your phone is branded).

Won't the Gold Card be useless if the system partition is already corrupted?
This was to be done before using visionary?
Thanks a33a.
My phone doesn't boot (I can only get to the bootloader menu, or the red-triangle screen). I tried talking to it with ADB, but it says "device offline".
The instructions for making a gold-card appear to require you using adb to talk to the phone to get it to tell you some long id number... I don't think it's possible for me to do this.
Is there a work around or some other way?
Did the PD98IMG.zip work?
Did u update the HTC drivers for the usb before. The adb needs the latest drivers for Windows to communicate.
If u can't create a goldcard than u should try and borrow 1 from a friend that already rooted his dhd. It might work that way. If not than u have to bring it to HTC and have it reflash.
When you tried ADB;
1. Make sure your phone is in FASTBOOT USB (HOLD volume down + power on -> Bootloader)
2. Connect to PC
3. CMD (Command Prompt) cd\............android\android-sdk-windows\tools\ (or whewrever the adb.exe & fastboot.exe is)
4. Type fastboot devices
5. You should get pyour device serial number HT............
But as I said, if the partition is screwed up, it is pointless with the goldcard?........
Edit: Memory coming back......You only need the Gold Card if you flash a stock ROM and require OTA updates? Without this you can't get the updates. So not having it shouldn't stop the flash?
Unfortunately the PD98IMG.zip did not work.
As suspected, the bootloader found it, loaded it, checked it, then displayed:
Code:
CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.
I haven't tried creating the gold card yet. I'm not holding out much hope, because with the device not booting into the OS, I don't think you can get adb to connect.
When the phone was working, I was able to use ADB to install apps and run commands from the shell, so I'm pretty sure the USB drivers are OK (I've installed the latest HTC Sync, which included the usb drivers and adb.exe).
I don't know anyone with another Desire HD, let alone anyone who has created a gold card... maybe someone on here with one can zip up the files and send them to me?
Did you try through fastboot? Sorry I don't have one as wasn't carrier branded. I never had intention to keep the stock, so never bothered. I will keep an eye open for ideas though.
I suppose you would get the same if you rename it to update.zip & try flash through the recovery / update. My guess is yes, but doesn't hurt to try?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I'm just trying the fastboot method now (downloading and installing the SDK as I type).
I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks for sticking around to help out.
If no good, look on the bright side. There will be no evidence on your phone about the attempted root, still s-on etc. With the system partition corrupt, you could send it back and claim ignorance, not sure what happened. I would think you would have a very goof chance of repair (htc flash) or replacement.
Well hope you have some luck first though.
Edit: meant s-on
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yeah, I was considering that -- all partitions except system are unmodified and stock, and both S-flags are S-ON. Using the bootloader to wipe cache and data, should erase any evidence that I was attempting to root the phone.
Fingers crossed they will replace / repair under warranty -- if it comes to that!
Okay, as per the earlier post, I've put the phone into FASTBOOT USB mode, and used the Android SDK fastboot.exe program, which gave me back a 12 digit number beginning with "HTxxxxxxxxxx".
However, the linked gold-card creation guide says to run "adb shell cat /sys/... " which does not work -- adb returns "error: device not found". Presumably this is because you can't talk to the phone when it's in the bootloader.
What should I do with the "HTxxxxxxxxxx" value? The goldcard guide doesn't mention it as far as I can tell...
That's your device serial number, meaning you can ay least talk with it via fastboot. Try substituting 'fastboot' instead of 'adb'. Your connected in Fastboot, ADB command is when your phone is powered up and connected in charge only, usb debugging enabled.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Okay, I've tried a couple more things:
Renaming PD98IMG.zip to update.zip and selecting "Apply sdcard:update.zip" from the recovery menu. This failed, displaying "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command ---- invalid operation ----"
Then I tried issuing ADB commands using fastboot.exe, but fastboot doesn't support the shell parameter, so "fastboot shell cat /sys/...." doesn't work.
It does look like fastboot can be used to flash various parts of the device though... I wonder if this is worth looking into a bit more?
ie: fastboot's usage output says:
Code:
commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall flash boot + recovery + system
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it
devices list all connected devices
continue continue with autoboot
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader
I tried "fastboot update update.zip" giving it the renamed PD98IMG.zip file, but it complained of:
Code:
Whoops: didn't find expected signature
read_central_directory_entry failed
error: failed to access zipdata in '....garbage characters...'
Does anyone know how and what to feed to fastboot to get to force-flash the system partition?
UPDATE: yeah I thought this might have been too easy... This link suggests that you can't flash a production device with fastboot unless you already have ENG S-OFF (which I don't).

hi...
can any1 tell me how to install custom roms using pc...........
i have searched the forum....but couldnt find any answer.................
sorry for starting a new thread........
thanks in advance
General Method:
- find, download and copy a flashable rom called "fullwipe 1.3" to the sd
- copy the zip with the rom you want to load in it to your sd card
- reboot into cwm recovery
- install zip from sd card
- choose the fullwipe 1.3 zip
- install
- then choose the rom's zip
- install
- reboot
wait for it to load. there you go.
For more advanced rom's, you must make directory's on your sd card for them to work properly. Follow instructions posted by the Rom's developer for proper installation.
thanks bro..........4 all ur help..............
1 more question........
what about using it through the fone......
i mean .....after downloading through the rom manager..........should i follow the same procedure ????
question
I rooted today, s-off & eng-off, installed rom manager
what do i have to do to get clockwork to work
I try booting into recovery but, display goes blank & has a red triangle symbol & after many minutes nothing happens..... can some inform me of the step I may have missed or something i can do to verify that i have the device set up properly.
Hopefully Thanks in advance.

I can appreciate that, but I need to know what to do. I try to do that & i get an error while attempting to run privileged commands.

Well if you can't flash recovery from Rom Manager then there's something wrong with your root privileges or s-offs... Just to make things clear, how did you try to flash the recovery?
AT THE TOP OF THE BOOTLOADER IT MUST SAY "... ENG S-OFF RL" FOR THIS TO WORK
With the device connected, boot into bootloader and select FASTBOOT and press power once.
It will now show FASTBOOT USB, and give you 4 options.
Download the newest 4.x.x.x version of the cwm recovery from the dev section.
Download My Toolkit and Extract to C:\
In the recovery zip that you downloaded from the dev thread, find the "recovery.img" and extract it to the RESOURCE folder of my toolkit. (make sure its only the recovery.img and not the folders it sits in)
open up a command prompt (windows key + R, type "cmd" and hit enter)
type in: cd "C:\HTC ACE TOOLKIT\RESOURCE" and hit enter.
the prompt should now be in that directory.
now type in the following EXACTLY and press enter afterwards:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

AT THE TOP OF THE BOOTLOADER IT MUST SAY "... ENG S-OFF RL" FOR THIS TO WORK
With the device connected, boot into bootloader and select FASTBOOT and press power once.
It will now show FASTBOOT USB, and give you 4 options.
Download the newest 4.x.x.x version of the cwm recovery from the dev section.
Download My Toolkit and Extract to C:\
In the recovery zip that you downloaded from the dev thread, find the "recovery.img" and extract it to the RESOURCE folder of my toolkit. (make sure its only the recovery.img and not the folders it sits in)
open up a command prompt (windows key + R, type "cmd" and hit enter)
type in: cd "C:\HTC ACE TOOLKIT\RESOURCE" and hit enter.
the prompt should now be in that directory.
now type in the following EXACTLY and press enter afterwards:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Let it flash, and badaboom, you have just flash cwm recovery.

The BOOTLOADER SAYs "... ENG S-OFF but no RL @ the end
Can someone instruct me to what I may have done wrong? I know if I try to s-off or ENG-off I now get a connection problem but the first time I tried it seemed to work properly.

well, in that toolkit i told you to download is a command script that does pretty much what I told you do to for the recovery.
Since you and I have the exact same phone I recommend grabbing the radio from the 2.52 korean build (Radio_12.59.60.26U_26.11.04.21_M), and the rill's as well.
Here is the radio and ril (first 2 links, download via the dropbox links): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996630
make sure you're in bootloader > fastboot and it says FASTBOOT USB on the screen
take a radio.img from within the zip and drop it into the resource folder and then run the shorcut in the toolkit.
It will now flash the radio to your phone and reboot.
Now with the rill's you flash via cwm recovery, from the RIL zip you downloaded, off your sd card in the same way you would flash a rom.

I would Like to thank you for your help & support, I was a the step of having fastboot usb And on my pc I unziped the radio And droped the image in the resource folder, a window pops up (disk burner) only option to choose is DVD R Drive.... do I have to have the SD card unmouted as a disk drive to the computer?
leave disk burner outta this. lol
The phone should be in bootloader under "fastboot" so the highlighted area will say FASTBOOT USB (since your phone is connected to your pc).
If radio.img is in the RESOURCE folder of my toolkit, go back to the main folder (HTC ACE TOOLKIT) and just double click the "Flash Radio" shorcut.

Changed Rom
Changed rom last night & wanted to know weather I should flash the "rill's" & "radio" each time I change roms. I just did the radio now so hope that cures the tinny sound, also it sounded kinda tinny just playing music, is there a patch or something else to do or is all that fixed in the radio?
Any suggestion on roms to try? using Revolution HD right now.
I have a Tmobile G2 rooted running Gingervillian (gingerbread 2.3.1) and I tried to install the Desire z hboot to get the Sense ui.
I followed the steps here, "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogZfSWLlvPg"
HERES THE PROCEDURE OF WHAT I DID:
After updating the PC10IMG.zip (Desire Z hboot) folder to the root of my G2, I was stuck on the HTC logo screen after updating. So I followed what the guy said in the video, deleted the PC10IMG file in my SD card then rebooted my phone.
After rebooting my phone, I was booted back same rom. So I flash/recovery my phone through Rom Manager and tried rebooting my phone to clockwork mod recovery mode.
After rebooting, I didn't go to Clockwork Mod but to FASTBOOT screen? I select "bootloader" and it goes to a quick load that says something like "SD loading, no image or wrong image". I select "Recovery" then it goes to the HTC logo for a split second then I'm back to FASTBOOT screen again.
This is the info on the fasboot screen? don't know if that'll help:
Vision pvt eng S-off
Hboot-0.84.2000 (pc1010000)
Microp-0425
Radio-26.02.15_m2
eMMC-boot
Sep 8 2010, 15:65:38
So now, I don't know what to do and my questions are:
1.) Is there a way to go back to the G2 hboot?
2. Can I still fix this and procedure on and install new roms on recovery clockwork mode, using Desire Z hboot? (as the video did)
Please help a brother out I'm still a noob and still learning. If this is in the wrong place, please move it to the correct place.
Anyone? if it seems confusing, please ask questions or if I need to provide more information. I really need help with this. Any suggestions will help.

would any PP99IMG.zip file work? And do I basically put it in the SD's root and put it into the boot menu to update the file?
Thanks
by the way, is this compatible with G2s?
don´t put the pp99img.zip on your sd !
do something different:
download a recovery.img (3.0.2.4 for vision):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
be sure to remove any pc10img.zip or so from your sdcard. then put your phone in fastboot mode (power & tp-wake) connect it to pc and flash the recovery through fastboot by typing: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after that you should be able to enter recovery. be sure to wipe before installing a new rom...

Yes, you can run adb on a Mac. See the link to my adb guide in my signature (assuming you're not viewing from the XDA app, which doesn't show the full sig).
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
Okay, just to make it clear (I am a "step by step" guy when it comes to technical computer/phone stuff.), from my understanding:
1. Download the recovery.img (3.0.2.4 for vision) and put it in the root of my SD card.
2. Delete any pc10img.zip files from SD card.
3. Turn phone off and then turn phone onto FASTBOOT mode by holding power/volume down/camera or power and tp-wake? (Btw what's tp-wake? and during this process, is the phone in fastboot screen mode while I'm about to type the "flashboot flash recovery recovery.img"?
4. Connect to computer, open up terminal (Mac) and do the ADB process and type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5. Wipe clean and install new rom in recovery mode? (Clockwork Mod recovery mode?)
PLEASE correct my steps or add in any steps that I'm missing. I bought my phone rooted so I never went through these steps before. Anyways please correct me, I don't want to ruin my phone anymore than it is already.
anyone can review my steps?
good morning
ad step 1: don´t put it onto your sd; put it into the adb tool folder on your pc !
ad step 3: tp-wake = the square button at the bottom of your phone (the one that acts like a mouse); to enter fastboot mode press power & tp-wake
...the phone should be in fastboot mode while typing the command.
before you type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" type "fastboot devices" and look if your phone shows up... if so go ahead with flashig the recovery (by the way, you may have to rename the recovery file)
step 4 and 5 look fine...
good luck
okay, I will try it in a little bit here.
In FASTBOOT USB mode, it wont recognize my device but when my device is fully on, adb works.
I get when I type "flashboot devices" (while the phone is on FASTBOOT) in terminal and get:
"-bash: fastboot: command not found"
By the way, I renamed the downloaded flash to "recovery.img" and put that file in the "platform-tools". Don't know if that'll work.
The "fastboot" command should be on your PC in the same folder as the "adb" command. Where did you get adb from, did you install the SDK and platform tools, or something cut-down ?
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
hm... that means that you do not have fastboot installed. maybe google for fastboot on mac, because i have a linux system... so i can´t help you in that point.
other thing you could do is following this guide (it´s a pc10img.zip with dz hboot and clockwork recovery):
http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
but first i would try the fastboot method - it´s safer.
Okay, I got the fastboot devices to read my phone. But it cannot load my recovery.img?
This is what got when I typed in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" :
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
rename it to recovery and try again...

I've been trying to re-root my phone since late last night, and have had nothing but problems. I've searched all over the internet, and tried anything that I thought would apply to my situation in the slightest.
I originally downgraded from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3 and rooted my phone using the method in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298990
I ran Revolutionary, ClockworkMod, and SuperUser. Everything worked perfect the first time around. Installed the Cyanogenmod 7.2 ROM and Tiamat v1.1.5 kernel. Then I started having issues with my battery, and Cyanogenmod seemed to be increasing the issues. At that time HTC announced they'd be releasing ICS, yada yada yada. I found a stock ROM online, and installed it, and updated as they were released OTA. Having finally gotten a new extended battery, I'd like to re-root & ROM my phone, but I've hit some road blocks.
I currently have the Android Version of 2.3.4 & Software Number of 5.10.605.9
I tried to re-do the entire process that had previously worked for me, but once I used the command hack-vivow.cmd, the phone would boot to the Revolutionary (of HBOOT ?) screen. Command line shows this, and just hangs:
c:\vwhk-12102011-c>fastboot oem rebootRUU
< waiting for device >
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Phone shows this:
-Revolutionary-
VIVO_W XB SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT -6.13.1002
RADIO -1.09.01.1111
eMMC -boot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Phone gives me the options of "BOOTLOADER", "REBOOT", "REBOOT BOOTLOADER", & "POWER DOWN". "REBOOT BOOTLOADER" changes "FASTBOOT" briefly to "FASTBOOT USB", but changes back in about 15-20 seconds. When I select "BOOTLOADER", the screen freezes for a few seconds, and it won't let me select any options, "FASTBOOT" changes to "HBOOT", and I get this in green text:
SD Checking
Loading...[PG32DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PG32DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PG32IMG.zip]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The next screen of green text says "Parsing...[SD ZIP]" followed by 9 things, and I'm only given an option to Update or No/Reboot. No/Reboot reboots my phone into an endless bootloop, until I remove the battery and power back on with Volume Down + Power Button. Update does a reset of my phone, and puts me right back to where I am now. While it is updating there is an error message at the bottom that says "Can not roll back hboot version".
I've tried multiple things to attempt to fix this... I ran the TacoRoot method from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751796
When the 8th line was completed
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --setup
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
, the phone rebooted, it got stuck in a bootloop.
So that's where I am now. I'm stuck with S-Off, the PG32DIAG/PG32IMG errors, an HBOOT that seems to be far too new of a version, and I haven't found a way to get back to 2.3.3. As you can see I'm a noob. I'm really not sure where I went wrong (other than going back to a stock ROM and allowing it to update). Unfortunately a lot of things are just way over my head, without seeing a step by step process. But I'm just stuck at the moment. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, or any ideas of things to try I GREATLY appreciate it.
Still looking for an answer, but I've done some more digging.
Would I be correct is assuming that I have to find a way to downgrade hboot (which Revolutionary won't allow) and get S-On, in order to do what I need to do? If so, does anyone know of an accurate way to accomplish this? All I've found are old threads that apparently are no longer relevant for newer Software & hboot updates.

I am by no means an expert, but my limited understanding would suggest this: try flashing a new recovery like clockworkmod with fastboot. If that is successful you can flash a superuser zip in clockwork. I don't recall the steps to flash the recovery, but I think since you are s-off you should be able to do it fairly easily.

Sorry for my ignorance, I'm trying to understand exactly what you mean. From my very limited knowledge, there might be 2 ways of doing what you're saying.
First, rebooting the phone with Volume Down + Power button, with the the ClockworkMod file placed on the root of my SD card, and renamed PG32IMG.zip. Then selecting Bootloader, and allowing it to Update.
Second would be rebooting the phone (Volume Down + Power), and then "force" the flashboot via command, with the phone connected to the USB cable.
The 1st option I would love to try, if that has a chance of working. The 2nd option though, won't work, because the phone won't respond to any commands via command lines.
The reason I'm not immediately jumping on option #1 for a try, is that I might be on track to get things straightened out, with a possibility of critical failure. I found this thread:
rootzwiki.c om/topic/1579-how-to-restore-to-stock-from-alpharevx-incredible-2-vivow-only/
I'm currently using Revolutionary, but apparently Alpharevx is a previous incarnation of that, and some users in that thread claim that it worked for their Revolutionary S-Off phones. So far, I have gotten to the point where I now have Android Froyo/ Android version 2.2.1 (from the same way of doing things as Option #1 above). The rest of that thread is messing with the Bootloader, which I'd rather not risk if I don't have to (I do realize how serious the consequences are). If there's any other way to do it, I'll gladly give it a try, as long as it doesn't put me in a place much worse than I'm at now (bricking my phone by messing with the bootloader certainly would be.)
I apologize for being a pain in the ass, I just want to make sure I understand any recommendations fully before I do something wrong. Clearly I should have done a lot more research before "un-rooting" my phone. Had my original issues not been my battery, I'd still be out of warranty for having S-Off. :laugh: Thank you very much for the response, it is truly appreciated.

So with Froyo on there can you get to the stock recovery?
Oh wow, yes I can. I just tried the fastboot clockworkmod flash, but it doesn't seem to be working, or even more likely, I don't know what I'm doing.
I booted the phone with Volume Down + Power, selected "Fastboot", which changed HBOOT to FASTBOOT USB. I used the command prompt and typed "fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-vivow.img". The command prompt stalls at "< waiting for device >" and FASTBOOT USB changed to FASTBOOT. Maybe I just don't know what to do after than. I tried "Recovery", which I thought would have booted ClockworkMod, had it been installed properly.

I also just noticed...did you do "fastboot devices" first to make sure it actually recognized your phone? I'm really guessing, but I figured it was worth asking.
Yes it does recognize my phone. I think you're exactly right, in the direction you're showing me. I think flashing CWM is the key to getting this all to work.
But I'm getting some strange stuff happening. When I was finally able to select the Fastboot section, I had CWM saved as PG32IMG.zip. I started getting an error (black screen with a little center image of my phone, with a red "!" on it), after rebooting. I had to press Volume Up + Power, which brought me to some kind of Android settings (Wipe Cache, & something about clearing or wiping partition). I selected to just reboot, and the phone rebooted fine. I changed the PG32IMG.zip file back to the Froyo, and I can no longer get past the "Recovery" and forcing to do the Update or Bootloop from declining.
So now I don't know what to do, when it comes to the PG32IMG.zip file. I even just changed the Froyo PG32IMG.zip to a 2.3.3 Gingerbread PG32IMG.zip, so now I'm at the correct ROM for rooting. I changed it because I wasn't sure if being at Froyo was preventing me from doing all of this from the beginning, similar to how the most up to date update did as well.
But back to the PG32IMG.zip, what would be the best thing to do with this situation? Should I change it back to the CWM, and deal with the Android error, while still allowing me to get into FASTBOOT. Or should I just keep it as the GB 2.3.3, as it is now? Can I just delete the PG32IMG.zip file altogether, or is it absolutely necessary? It just keeps trying to update to what the file already is, and prevents me from doing anything else.
I think I'm going to try the CWM.zip renamed to PG32IMG.zip and see if I can get it to work.

You shouldn't be flashing romantic zips as PG32IMG. That's what clockwork is for. If get it back to froyo, then go to the HTC recovery and follow the clockwork instructions I linked to. But maybe someone more knowledgeable than I can answer better.

After you go onto bootloader and it flashes your IMG you either rename the file on your SD card or delete it from your SD card. You will be able to proceed after that has been done

You're right. The PG32IMG.zip was a problem. I removed them from the SD card's root, and it's working as it should.
Now the issue is the instructions in that link. I can't find any update.zip for the phone anywhere. I also can't find any options in the Recovery for "re-install package". I go to "BOOTLOADER" and then "RECOVERY". The Phone then boots to a small image of my phone with a red "!". I press Volume Up + Power button, and it loads the "Android system recovery <3e>". I have a Yellow error at the bottom stating"

You need to flash a new recovery. Do you adb setup on your pc? If not, google it and get it setup.
Here is a link to CWM

Save it to your adroid-tools folder

screenshot for you
The version I have has the correct files in the "platform-tools" folder.
I get an error with the "adb remount" command, saying "remount failed: Operation not permitted"
When I use the command "fastboot devices", my phone doesn't show up, and it just skips to the next command line, showing nothing. My phone does say "FASTBOOT" though.
Then when I type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.5-vivow.img" it just hangs at "< waiting for device >"
Maybe I didn't set it up the sdk stuff properly? I'll look more stuff up when I get home later tonight. But I figured, I'd at least post this up now, in case this is showing another issue.

The version I have has the correct files in the "platform-tools" folder.
I get an error with the "adb remount" command, saying "remount failed: Operation not permitted"
When I use the command "fastboot devices", my phone doesn't show up, and it just skips to the next command line, showing nothing. My phone does say "FASTBOOT" though.
Then when I type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.5-vivow.img" it just hangs at "< waiting for device >"

I don't think it's going to work until you get fastboot devices and adb devices to recognize your phone. I wish I could point you in the right direction, but I'm not very experienced with it.
I'm assuming you have the drivers for our phone installed? Some people have to reboot the pc to get those to recognize the device...
Yeah, I'm going to have to do some more digging. ADB device does recognize my phone, at the 6th line on the screen cap I posted. I've restarted the pc multiple times since first trying to get all of this to work.

First of all make sure you have fastboot.exe in your tools folder
Code:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery***.img
Make sure you have the drivers and that you delete HTC sync from your computer. If you can get it to boot up into the phone make sure you have android debugging turned on.

Yup, it's there.
Did those commands, and it ended in the same result. No errors or "waiting" messages at the flashboot devices command, but it didn't show my device either.

Definitely installed driver. I originally tried to install the driver I previously used with my original s-off/root/rom, but it didn't work with Windows 8 (previous PC was WinXP), so I found the correct one for my OS. The "adb devices" command never found my phone, before installing the current driver.
I never installed HTC Sync. Just double checked the "Uninstall or change program" in the Win8 control panel (previously "Add/Remove Programs") to make sure it didn't get installed with out my knowledge, and it's not in there.
If you mean on the phone: "Settings" > "Applications" > "Development" > check box for "USB debugging", then yes. If it's a command of some sort, then no & I don't know how to do it.
I'm also making sure to run these commands by right-clicking the Command Prompt and selecting "Run as administrator", before doing these commands.
