The ROM utility cannot update your android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
Is it because I used AAHK to originally ROM my phone and now I am just using a direct RUU to unroot?

You have to use Ace Hack Kit to unroot. Flashing the RUU will not unroot your phone it may cause issues instead.

That is weird. If you are S-OFF you should be able to flash any RUU as should have superCID. There is something strange there. Do the following please. Plug the phone with usb debugging and open a cmd in the PC as admin. Then type:
adb shell getprop
paste here the INFOmain version and INFOcidnum. Also make sure that you are S-OFF.

Reboot holding power and volume-down. This gets you to the bootloader. What does it say exactly?

Thread can be marked as solved.
I put the first 2 lines from the bootloader into google and a thread on android forums came up.
Advised go into bootloader then, connect phone select fastboot and then run ruu. I could see fastboot but didnt have the option to select it. So I blindly ran the RUU and boom it worked.
Thanks for all your assistance.

I've followed the instructions at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ruu-downloads which, for my network (O2UK), instructs me to "update" my ROM to 2.13.206.1. So I've updated OTA and find I have 2.26.401.3.
The problem is that the RUU from the above website won't recognise this 2.26.401.3 ROM as 2.13.206.1 and insists I "update" to 2.13.206.1 which I do not know how to do.
Is there any other way I can unlock the bootloader? Or can I get the 2.13.206.1 ROM from somewhere else and install that?
Just proceed to step 1..............If your version is higher than specified,you can unlock your phone's bootloader
You cannot install other ROM into your phone without bootloader unlocked.root permissions and CWM recovery.
If i helped you,click the "Thanks" button.Sorry for my English and have a nice night !

I think you're already have HBOOT unlockable (xxxx99)
Go to steps unlock bootloader without download ruu from htcdev.

You really don't need to update the boot loader and search for RUU when the HBoot ver is 1.08.xxx or later.
Just go thru this guide, will help you

buuuuuuuut
every Rom i installed is not capable to make or receive phone calls. Every time i try to do a call, the wfs says:
android.phone.prozess is shutting down
Did i forget anything or did anything wrong?
Got any help?
@clusternate, if your phone is MarvelC (cdma) then you have to flash ROM that suits your model.

I've got the europe (germany) version. so i think i need the GSM version.
I'm quiet new to rooting this devices. Are there different versions of every ROM?
I tried about 6-7 ROM's and not one of them worked. (MIUI, CM7, CM9, everyone from the wfs section of this forum)
A co-worker told me something about updating the modem of my wfs.
Is this true and is there a way to do it?
PS. Which ROM should work on my device?
PPS. There is another prozess that is failing.
Prozess.android.acore is also crashing.

You are S-Off, so you can simply flash a recovery and flash a ROM from there. Go to the Ace Think Tank in General and look at the guide provided there. You want the section titled "S-Off no recovery."
Mistake
my mistake, the phone is S-ON, is there any way to unlock that, remember i can use ADB commands only fastboot.

[Q] Stuck on recovery access mode

Hi I have an HTC Inspire HD, ATT as provider.
I successfully unlocked it thru HTCDEV and installed 4EXT; did a backup successfully and then tried to install Android Revolution HD.
Since then I get stuck on the HTC white screen.
It does not boot. In recovery access, see the following:

Hi, when you say ROM, what do you mean; when I backedup with 4ext it confirmed a successful backup but I have no idea where it is located; can you guide me through? where do I find the boot.img

I have been trying so many things and getting very much confused with Hboot, Fastboot.

Then you're not in fastboot. You get to fastboot by going to hboot (reboot while holding power and volume-down), navigating to "fastboot" with the power buttons, and selecting it with the power button. Also, again, the OP seems to imply that your bootloader isn't unlocked. If it is, hboot would say so at the top.

FASTBOOT USB
the phone is stuck on the green htc logo with a white background
my computer no longer shows a folder for the phone when i plug in usb (im certain that i made a mistake by trying a factory reset using the hboot screen after this occured) which would undoubtedly remove usb debugging. and set to default charge only setting
i can use vol dwn + pwr to go into bootloader screen (obviously)
I tried using 2 different RUU's (both labeled HTC Android Phone ROM Utility 1.0.3.2011) because that seemed to help others
It progresses to install ruu. Phone shows black background and htc logo in grey but goes no further, just hangs like that forever, when i unplug usb at that point the grey logo disappears and it shows that ruu failed! in orange colors
the rom update utility shows error 155:unknown error
then : The ROM Utility cannot update your android phone
Please get the correct ROM update utility and try again
the htcdev site only shows one utility for htc desire hd (RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread))
i also tried using (RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed)
typing adb devices in cmd prompt shows no devices listed using sdk
the ruu had previously listed image version 2.47.502.7
it updated to image version 2.52.0.0 before i used htcdev to unlock it
now it tries to upgrade from 2.52 to 3.12.405.1 but won't
i followed the steps in this thread
"[how to]unlock inspire build 3.20.502.52 with htcdev in preparation to use AAHK" (you have to google it cus forum wont allow me to post url)
i didnt notice the red warning about this post being outdated OR that its a method for a different build It was 3am! and i was tired
it seemed to work fine just after the unlock in step 2
but i started having issues after i finished step 3
also if flashing an image file onto the SD card is the only route then how is that possible if my pc doesnt have access to the files
it only makes a sound when i plug it in
yes im a noob
please help
i believe that this is fixable since i read a comment that any htcdev unlocked phone is fixable...fingers crossed
is this a soft brick?
how do fix this so i can root this phone
and what method is (safest) best for rooting?
Your bootloader is already unlocked. Flash a custom recovery through fastboot and flash a ROM from there.

You have not updated the hboot yet, it should be 2.029 not 2.027. (apparantly there is also a 2.030 but I dont know we're that came from cause the ones on HTCdev I've seen are 2.029 and 0.85.24)
Once you have done the full ruu hboot update from HTCdev then you can get OEM token, send it off to HTC, get the unlocktoken.bin via email from HTC the use the bin file to unlock the locked bootloader.

tried to use ruu to update, phone stuck in bootloader

So my phone is currently on a custom rom and I was trying to take it back to stock. I downloaded a ruu from htc dev because a bunch of guides I saw pointed me to do that and click a few buttons during the process it said my phone can't be updated and now i am stuck on a screen that looks like the bootloader but says this

nvm i fixed that problem and now I'm back to square one. maybe someone could point me in the right direction from here.
I'm currently on 4.4.3 kk and am trying to get back to stock from my custom rom. clearly the ruu I used was the incorrect method and the other method I was going to try which involves using hasoon's toolkit appears to not be the answer because when i went to check the cid the version number was not available ( unless im missing something here)
any assistance that someone is willing to offer would be appreciated.
You have to re-lock your bootloader before you run the RUU.
