Hi,
I unlocked the bootloader with the of HTCDev, it only unlocked the bootloader enough for me to change the Recovery to Clockworkmod Recovery
Through Clockworkmod Recovery i wiped the system, just everything apart from the SD Card with the ROM's on
I've tried installing loads, cyanogenmod, runnymeade, MIUI, etc but they all get stuck at the 1st white screen with the green HTC logo
some specs for you:
HTC Desire Z, bought from Vodafone but appeared to be unbranded
Bootloader Details:
*** Relocked ***

I've tried every guide i can on XDA Developers
PLEASE HELP!
How are you installing the ROMs? It sounds like you are trying to do it from your SD using Clockwork. My understanding, the only way to install a ROM after using HTC Unlock, is using fastboot.
This is one of the many reasons that HTC Unlock sucks compared to root and S-Off.
Hi,
I did use fastboot to relock it after and downgrade it using a few guides
the way i'm installing Rom's is through the Clockworkmod Recovery using .zip files i've saved on the SD Card, i can still access the SD card via my PC by mounting it to transfer files
the different Rom's i've tried, including the stock PC10IMG.zip, all do the normal installion progess that i'm used to from doing the same on my Nexus One (which is how i know this method), then say they've completed successfully, but when i go to start the phone normally it just stays at the white screen with the green HTC logo
Thanks!
*EDIT* just like to point out i didn't actually get to downgrade anything on the phone, it would always fail. Also the recovery and Rom's i'm using are for the Desire Z /G2, not Nexus One Rom's i'm trying to put on there
I think you need to have the ROM on your computer and flash it using fastboot. And the bootloader needs to be unlocked (to flash a custom ROM), as I think that is the whole point of having it unlocked.
Check out this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453066
as redpoint73 has already said you have to flash a rom using fastboot from your pc.
Although you've actually flashed a rom using cwm recovery htc dev unlocked bootloader doesn't allow you to touch the boot.img hence the white splash screen.
you can take out the boot.img from the rom and flash it using fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
I would recommend getting back to xda's unlocked bootloader(PS: higher version bootloader doesn't mean more/better functionality.. it just means more bars added to your jail cell)
I have tried a lot of methods to install custom roms but the only one worked for me is the one in cyangenmod wiki page.
1.Downgrade.
2.created a golden card.
3.s-off.
4.root.
And I have been installing roms happily ever after

Hi there,
After unlocking my Desire HD with the official HTCdev bootloader unlock service I installed Clockwork 5.0.2.7111102. From here I installed SuperUser 2.3.6.3 and it seems I have root access.
Both through ROM Manager as manual through ClockWork I have tried to install several custom ROMs. I did wipe the user data beforehand etc. But after reboot every time it keeps hanging at the white HTC screen.
I havent made backup of previous version. My phone is stuck completly. I can do nothing but only new rom..
Can someone please help me with this issue? Many thanks!
Additional info:

When you unlock using the HTC dev method you have to flash the boot.img separately.
Take the boot.img of whatever rom you want and flash it by running
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
For future reference the correct method is
1)flash rom in recovery
2)boot back into hboot and flash roms boot.img
4ext recovery has a new option of flashing boot.img when son all in the same step.(make it similar process to soff devices

You need to switch to S-OFF in order for flashing to be successful. Use this then once you boot into Hboot and see S-off, then you can try to flash the rom...

No need for doing S-OFF since this version of bootloader can be unlocked without it. If you really need it for something, the only solution I've seen so far is using XTC Clip device, google it.
First backup everything you'll need later using some backup app, unlocking will require factory reset.
Go to HTC dev and unlock your bootloader, a bit lengthy procedure, but not so hard, just follow the instructions on site.
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
After your bootloader is unlocked, get Clockworkmod recovery for your phone from
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Use fastboot command you have used in unlocking phase to flash recovery. Phone should be connected via USB, in hboot mode, fastboot option chosen, drivers installed on PC, but you should learn all those details during unlocking phase. Command should look like:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
Now you can enter Clockworkmod recovery by entering HBOOT and selecting recovery option. Get familiar with it
Now,
1) If you just wish to root your phone, nothing else, use CWM recovery to install this zip
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=672519&d=1312136127
It will add Root access app to your phone.
2) Since you worked hard, you deserve better than this. Install newer and more awesome ROMs using CWM recovery
I've tried Cyanogenmod 7,9 and 10, few MIUI versions, WildChild 3.3, and one AOKP version so far, using Oliver96's CM 10 ALPHA2 build at the moment, needed a lot of effort (SD partitioning, installing custom Google Apps, various tricks to get more space on /system, etc), but now I have Android 4.1 and everything works as charm

Hi, i have a HTC Desire HD that can only boot to bootloader and recovery (CWM), when booting to system it stucks on the green htc logo with white background, and i can't use it.
I also tried with placing PD98IMG.zip in the sdcard root, the bootloader flashes it but the system still remains unbootable.
I was wondering if i can put it in S-OFF mode so that i can install a custom rom so that i can at least boot to the system and use the phone.
Is there a way to S-OFF my desire hd with recovery or bootloader=
Thanks in advance
What have you done to it to get it in that state? What does the bootloader say: is it locked or unlocked?

If you have unlocked bootloader you don't need S-OFF to flash Custom Roms..Just download .zip ROM, place it on sd card and in cwm chose "install zip from sd card" ... After that you must flash boot.img..Here is tutorial for everything I say: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500

Hi, thanks for your answer!
Unfortunately i got the phone in that state, i didn't pay it, a friend gave it to me because it doesn't boot and warranty is out of date.
I would like to "restore" it, the bootloader is unlocked, this is what i see:

Hi! Thanks for the tip.
I didn't know i have to also flash the boot.img, is it a Ace thing? because i also installed a custom rom on my galaxy s+ and i didn't have to flash the boot.img after flashing the custom ROM
The Ace unlock given by HTC is a partial unlock. It sounds like your other phone was a full unlock. And yes, flash the boot.img.

First of all I successfully downgraded my DZ from android 2.3 to 2.2 using this guide, the phone worked perfectly.
Then I attempted to root my phone using this guide everything went fine until I rebooted the phone. It could not get past the white screen with the HTC logo (without quietly brilliant)
I can access Bootloader, Fastboot, and custom Recovery (CWM Touch) and the bootloader says ENG S-OFF, however I don't know if the phone is rooted (by the existence of the Superuser app) since it won't get past the white HTC screen..
So far I've tried to flash a new ROM (tried two ROMS, this and this)as suggested in this post but the phone is still stuck on the white HTC Screen.
I looked through the forums and found some things that might help and I need your advices on them, they are: (Note: I have NOT attempted any of these)
1. Flashing boot.img of a freshly flashed ROM, procedure as follows:
-Extract boot.img for the flash ROM zip and place where I'll run a command window
-Connect phone in Fastboot USB Mode
-From CMD, run codes:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
any notes or additions?
2. Using RUU (Haven't found detailed instructions on this one, so any help would be appreciated)
3. This guide
4. Boot from SD using this guide
5. Heavens forbit, test for fried eMMC
Thank you.

So flashing a boot.img of the corresponding flashed ROM won't help? Will it hurt if I try?
And: Unroot using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442988
then root using gfree.
Much appreciated thank you

It won't hurt if you try, but do gfree its much better

Did you buy your phone after 2012? Also since your phone is s-off you do not require a unlocked hboot to flash the recovery. If you relock it the pg76img will work. Its the unlock that disables this method.
