Have you tried doing a factory reset from the bootloader? (can be accesed by turning the phone on while holding vol down)

Just to rule something out, Have you installed the HTC Sync and HTC Drivers?

yes i have installed htc sync and all the drivers req for the desire to work. says USB device not recognized (malfunction) but the phone shows HBOOT USB *SOMETIMES* so. Would i would LOVE is a way of wiping it completely and start a fresh. i tried to install a rom via SD card but it only seems to look for the Previous rom installed (PD98IMG)
It may be worth completely removing all traces of HTC Sync and drivers (purge properly and manually), use USB on other side of PC (so if using front ports, use rear) and reinstalling software. Can't help with exact details of that as I use a Linux OS so I don't have to **** about with all that nonsense.
The biggest hurdle I think is getting your PC to recognise phone. Once done everything else is easily fixable.

its new installation of windows and when i connect phoen i see this.. previously iwasnt able to uninstall or update drivers ..
Tired of scouring through help videos and google searches... I hope someone on here can help me.
Rooted my HTC Desire via the unrevoked 3.2 method and used for a few days before deciding to S-OFF. Well i made a mistake and got stuck in a boot loop. Reflashed the RUU and i am back in business.
The issue is that i had to reinstall HTC Sync to reflash the RUU and then uninstall again so i could re-root, leaving the drivers in of course. I noticed that when i connect phone to PC via the same method as before, it should have had 'ANDROID 1.0' in device manager but this time it says MY HTC.
Can anyone explain what to do?
1) I can go ahead and root as before, this is just the new version of HTC Sync drivers.
2) Stay clear, the new drivers mean the bootloader is locked.
Which is it?????
I am a noob and although some members on here instructed me to use adb, i am out of my depth with that, even the guides available aren't simple enough for me.
Surely there must be an easy way out of this?
Any help would be much appreciated!
u can try uninstall the drivers and reinstall them back to be safe. also install the modified hboot drivers from unrevoked.
Thanks for your reply. Already tried to uninstall then reinstall the drivers. The issue is happening when I try to install the modified hboot driver, it says the driver is up to date but doesn't show as 'Android Bootloader Interface'.

When your Mobile is fully booted it will show My HTC.. and when you will boot into fastboot.. by volume down and power.. you will see 'Android Bootloader Interface'.
So that mean, YES you can root with unrevoked while you have 'MY HTC' in device manager with USB Debugging On.

Important correction: IS(!!!!), not was.
As the title says, i have flashed CM7r2 a long time ago.Now i need to get to stock hboot as my volume keys are dead.
The problem is that if i use the ruu, the flash does not finish.This is natural(hboot 6.xxx for protection is on anyway).
Is there any way to flash a stock hboot or force flash it using a ruu or am i bricked???
Thanks people!
Try android flasher tool

Did you enable USB Debugging and have the necessary adb and fastboot drivers installed?
FIXED PLEASE LOCK
Needed to use USBdeview in order to install a third time the drivers.Weird enough, a clean xp installation didn't work either.
I am trying to update the HTC One VX AT&T version to the new JB official rom. however, i cannot use the update software on the phone or the recommended manual update as described at htc's website.
I have previously rooted and unlocked via the HTC developers code that they sent to me, and that all went fine. However, now my PC will not recognize the phone when it is in fastboot, and the HBOOT menu says I am ***TAMPERED***
Phone is recognized via HTC Sync program, and will go throught the initial steps in the RUU update file from HTC.com but as soon as the bootloader starts up, I is unrecognized again...
If anyone has any ideas or recommendations, or if there is any more information I can give you, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

If you were unlocked and s-on then you must relock bootloader before updating with ruu.
Just type this in fastboot, without the quotes
"Fastboot oem lock" in command prompt.

how would one do this if phone is not recognized in fastboot mode via adb?
uninstall htc sync. drivers will stay. sync gets in the way sometimes. I just used the ruu from the htc site and the setup wizard did it all. very easy, you could do it that way, no need to relock bootloader. or flash one of the Jellybean roms jmz has out. that would be the easiest way.
Thanks. Tried uninstalling HTC sync, and rebooting my pc. Still hangs when the phone restarts into bootloader. Still telling me it is unrecognized...

hboot and fastboot menus are the same. the tampered part is because of the custom recovery. if you are selecting fastboot and pc is not detecting the device, thats odd. if you havent, change usb port and cable.
it is possible to get drivers issues with fastboot/hboot. when connecting usb cable after fastboot is selected does it change to FASTBOOT USB?
did you turn USB debugging on? are you going to fastboot after going into the bootloader?

I have tried with about 3 different USB cables, and every different available USB port. all to no avail. If i select fastboot manually by holding the power and volume down, then it will say fastboot, until I push the volume up or down, then it will switch to fastboot usb.
when the RUU program triggers a reboot into the fastboot mode (I'm assuming that's what it is trying to do, anyway) it just hangs on a black screen with a big white HTC logo, until the program times out and I have to exit. Restarting the phone is no issue, because it just starts up like normal.

USB debugging is on, and see above reply regarding fastboot.
Thanks everyone for their help so far...I know we can get to the bottom of this!

Do "fastboot oem rebootRUU". You should see the device in device manager. Then run the ruu again.

Same deal if I reboot to fastboot via ADB or manually with the phone. As soon as I enter fastboot, no longer recognized by the computer.

you said that the phone gets into black screen with htc white letters. that means normal fastboot still works because the RUU sends that same command. i ask you again to check windows device manager and see if your device is there. if its not, try unplug and replug usb cable.
Unplugging and plugging the cord back in did nothing. Device manager lists the device as unknown. It says something about device reporting error.

OK. I will try that. I'm running a system I built myself with Windows 8. Do you think that windows 8 is causing some issues? my wife's laptop is still windows 7...I will try that tonight. fingers crossed!
So I tried on windows 7, and the RUU is able to get as far as the part that says updating signature, at which point it sits there for a few minutes, then gives me error 132 and tells me to download the correct rom update utility for my phone??!
Is there any chance that having twrecovery is causing this? If so, an ideas on how to go back to stock recovery?

If you are s-on then you have to relock bootloader to flash ruu.
