Guys I'm in deep trouble! This is what happens when you don't rally know what you're doing!
I tried to revert back to stock, first by putting stock recovery on it via fastboot which said it was successful, so when I go into recovery I've still got CWM on it, so I tried to go into usb mounts and storage because I'd put my nand back up on it to restore that but it just said error so couldn't access it. So I ended up going down the ruu route and ran 1.26.206.2 but I noticed when the ruu started to run and it said update image from 1.29.206.11 to 1.26.206.2 I guess you can't go backwards because it said something like bootloader mismatch. I've downloaded the 1.29 ruu but it's in zip format, how do I install it? Plus after running the ruu I cant install my nand backup recovery or boot image. Believe me I did do a lot of reading but I guess I'm just thick I just can't seem to grasp it. All I've got now is the bootloader so I don't know whether the phone is charging or not. The battery was probably around 80% when I started out over an hour ago and I have tried to sort it myself but this is out of my league. Can someone please help or point me in the right direction, I'm desperate.
The 1.29 RUU is not available yet, and the zip file you tried to download was apparently an OTA file, which you can't use.
Give me the following info to proceed:
-CID using fastboot command
"fastboot oem readcid"
-Main version with following command
"fastboot getvar version-main"

First of all thank you for replying.
my cid is o2-001
the main version is 1.29.206.11
First of all you should have access to custom recovery. If you can't access, try to reflash cwm and make sure it's v5.8.4.0.
Download the appropriate stock nandroid backup from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
Save boot.img from it for further use.
Transfer backup to phone and restore as usual.
Flash boot.img.
Then you can flash stock recovery and relock bootloader if you want.
Edit: you sure your bootloader is still unlocked?

What is the exact command word for word in fastboot? this is the image I have, recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru

Done that, it sends ok but then fails to write saying remote not allowed?
Your bootloader is locked. Unlock it again.
If you have the unlock_code.bin in your email, you can use it, otherwise you have to go through htcdev unlock process entirely.

I've got the original unlock code, I've followed the instructions but in the command prompt it is just stuck on sending unlock token?

Try powering phone off and on again, confirm that it is in fastboot mode, also check if "fastboot devices" returns anything.
Do you have the unlock code in fastboot folder on your pc?
The exact command is: "fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin"
Sent from my EndeavorU using xda app-developers app
Okay I've successfully unlocked again and its rebooted to a screen with the word android on the screen, now do I leave that to see what happens or do I need to go into bootloader and follow the instructions you gave before regarding flashing cwm etc?
Go ahead and proceed with the instructions I gave earlier.

Thanks, when I mounted the usb storage the stock backup was still there so I renamed it update.zip and then tried to install it but it came back with"installing/sdcard/update.zip
finding update package
opening update package
E:can't open sdcard/update.zip(bad)
installation aborted?
What have I done wrong?
By the way if my backup is no good and I download from the link you gave me do I download the 1.29 one or the 2.17 one?

Are you referring to a backup made by you or one downloaded from my link?
Anyways, you do not need to rename it, just have it on sdcard in clockworkmod folder and restore it using cwm's backup/restore function.

2.17 one is for cid O2_E11, which you don't have. So 1.29 it is.

I put my backup on the sd card I don't seem to have a cwm folder but when I tried to install it it just says couldn't open directory no files found?
I'm downloading the 1.29 from the link you gave me and I'll try that.
The backup should be at /clockworkmod/backup/ otherwise it will not be recognized. Create those folders if you don't have them.

I've done that but still get the same error, I created a folder named clockwork mod and then a subfolder named backup and put the backup in there?
Also, the backup should be unzipped, so /clockworkmod/backup/backupname/
The backupname folder should contain bunch of files: boot.img, a couple of .tar files etc. It's hard to explain.
Anyways, the downloaded backup is guaranteed to work. Just extract the .zip file's contents to the folder /clockworkmod/backup/backupname/

I've done all that, doesn't work so I must be doing something wrong. When you say backupname do I put that in or the actual name of the file which is HOX O2 1.29 backup?
Sorry to be a pain but I'm so close now and you have been a terrific help.
Edit I've rebooted the phone and it's now restoring the backup so fingers crossed.
You have been an absolute star and a godsend and I was well and truly stumped!
A million thanks

So I'm going off these instructions .....
RavenFB said:
So, you've seen those new Sense 3.0 ROMs floating around, but haven't had an opportunity to try them yet? Well, I've developed a simplified method for getting you rolling with Virtuous Unity 1.31. Of course, after you have installed the DZ Hboot, you can install any Sense 3.0 ROM you wish, even though this guide is specifically for Unity.
This guide will show you how to install the DZ Hboot, and the Virtuous Unity ROM, with out using adb or a computer. The entire process is done on the phone.
First, let me thank the Virtuous dev team responsible for this gem of a ROM. Excellent work, and we tip our hats.
Now, this installation requires the following:
A rooted G2 with Clockwork Recovery 3.0.2.4.
Two MicroSD cards.
Optional: WiFi access, Tapatalk and Opera Mobile, installed internally. Opera makes downloading the required files much more reliable, and it can be easier using TT to browse this page.
The first thing you should do is stop by www.VirtuousRom.com, and check things out there. The Unity ROM and the OC frequency patch come from their website, and I firmly believe in giving credit where it is due.
Once you are ready to begin, download Unity 1.31 from this link, preferably via WiFi. This beast is about 400MBs, so be you may not want to deal with cellular speeds. You can also find this ROM on RomManager, if you prefer, under the Virtuous tab.
http://www.multiupload.com/TS4IAWJVMZ
Once that has finished, you should download the OC Frequency patch. You may not need it, but you definitely want to have it already downloaded if it is needed.
http://unity.flemmard.net/patches/virtuous_unity-ocfreq-patch.zip
You will also want to download a good radio to use, since the DZ Hboot will overwrite your current radio. This is the most current compatible radio:
http://www.mediafire.com/?r1tal256p11uzyz
Once you have finished downloading these files, use a file manager (ES File Manager or Astro, etc) to check the SDCard root (/sdcard/) to make sure there is no file named PC10IMG.zip located there. I'll explain why shortly. After you have confirmed this, shut off your phone, remove the battery, remove the SDCard, and insert the second card. Replace the battery, and reboot.
After the phone is running again, you need to download this file: http://db.tt/uCHeUDp If the link stops working, please PM me so I can upload the file to an alternative service, as this is from my personal Dropbox.
When the download finishes, use a file manager, and find /download/DZHboot_PC10IMG.zip. Copy/paste it to the root of your SDCard, and then rename it PC10IMG.zip.
A quick word about PC10IMG.zip: this file, when present on the root of your SDCard, will automatically be read by your bootloader. We want this to update your HBoot. However, the reason we DO NOT want a PC10IMG on the first card is because this file also prevents the bootloader from being able to enter recovery. This is why this method requires two cards. One to flash the HBoot, and one to enter recovery to flash a ROM. Once the HBoot flashes, it will wipe your phone, so you must have a ROM or backup to get it working again.
Reboot your phone into bootloader. If you have 3/4 way reboot, simply hold the power button while the phone is on, select reboot/restart, and select bootloader. If you do not have this feature, shut the phone off, then hold volume down+camera key, then press power. The bootloader will scan for updates, and will then prompt you if you wish to apply the update. Press volume up to accept this prompt. Do not turn the phone off or remove the battery while this process is engaged! When it is complete, you will be prompted to reboot the phone. Do so. You will notice that your phone is "stuck" at the white HTC bootsplash, even if you have flashed a different splash image. This is normal.
Remove the battery. Remove the SDCard, and insert the first card. Boot into the bootloader, and then volume-down to recovery, and press power. While the phone has technically been "wiped", there is the possibility of remaining bits of info in the memory, so it is good practice to perform a complete wipe. Scroll down to "mounts and storage", and select the following options: "format /cache, format /data, and format /system." DO NOT format /sdcard!!!
Now press the back key to return to the main screen, and select "install a .zip from SDCard". You can find Virtuous Unity in the /download folder if you downloaded from your web browser, or /clockworkmod/downloads/ if you used RomManager. Select the Unity zip file, and install it. Once this is done, press the back key to the main menu, select "reboot device".
Once the G2 has started up, you may experience lockups. This is a known bug with the G2 related to overclocking. If it happens, reboot into bootloader, enter the recovery, and flash /download/virtuous_unity-ocfreq-patch.zip. This should fix the problem!
Last step: open a file manager, and find the radio file you downloaded earlier. It should be in /download, and is a .zip named Vision Radio 12.56.60.25 26.10.04.03 PC10IMG.zip. Copy/Paste to the root of your SDCard (which we can do now that the phone is working again!) And then rename it PC10IMG.zip Reboot one last time into bootloader, and again press volume up to accept the update. When it is done, reboot the phone as prompted. Delete the PC10IMG.zip files from the root of each SDCard, and you are done! Enjoy!
Hope you find this helpful!
EDIT: Updated the DB link to the Hboot.

so my problem is I switched SD card downloaded the hzboot changed it to PC10IMG.zip and moved it to. /sdcard then went to bootloader and when it scanned for updates it kept saying no image or wrong image..... what do I need to do about that ? Can someone pleas help

Perhaps it didn't download properly. Reboot and re download. Delete previous version and move new DZ hboot to the root (not in any folders) of your SD. Be sure you've named it PC10IMG.zip and not PC10IMG.zip.zip. The zip part is added automatically so you shouldn't need to enter it yourself. Then reboot into bootloader and try again.

Hmm... what about posting in the thread with the guide you're trying to follow? The user who wrote the it seems like he/she would be really helpful. Also, if you can get ADB installed, this is a super easy guide to use for the DZ Hboot:
http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
But first and foremost I'd PM the user that wrote the guide you're trying to use... but that's just me. Good luck.

So your purpose is to obtain the DZ eng hboot without using a PC... meaning without ADB, right? Because there are other ways to do this... they require a PC, but if it's that important to you you should download the Android SDK.
There's a really clear/great guide here.
Maybe contact some of the Virtuous guys like cjward23... he's really knowledgable. I don't know why in the world the file isn't being recognized by your phone.
One strange thing I encountered... my phone wouldn't recognize the PC10IMG file unless I booted into bootloader from the phone off, using volume down + power button. This may have been a fluke, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

either should be ok.

Have PM'd you with a suggestion to reroot your phone as I am out of ideas
Update 2: I've removed all the Method 1,2,3,etc. and added one universal method instead. Advanced, risky one kept.
Update: I've improved the thread, added pictures and what not. Hope you all like it now.
I'm not responsible if your phone blows up, bricks, sd card malfunctions or whatever during this tutorial!
Prerequisites:
A Locked Bootloader
RUU of the radio and / or HBOOT you want.
ADB installed
HTC Drivers
Goldcard (Steps at the end of the post)
Alright, then let's begin.
Download the Bootloader Control tool from this thread. (Thanks theq86!)
Put the zip on the root of your SD card.
Reboot into recovery and flash it.
A Menu-type thingy will appear. It will show you 4 options:
Unlock Bootloader
Lock Bootloader (Guarantee Mode)
Lock Bootloader (Relocked State)
Supervision
Now, what you have to do is, choose either the 2nd or 3rd option.
Then say "NO" to reboot. Go back to the main menu of CWM.
Advanced > Reboot Recovery.
It'll reboot the recovery and get you the main menu again.
Again go back to the bltool and this time, choose supervision.
After that, reboot back to the bootloader and into fastboot.
Download and get the latest RUU, that contains the newest radio and hboot: http://www.4shared.com/zip/gsk9viET/RUU_Marvel_S_Vodafone_UK_22616.html
Let the RUU do its job. After everything's done, your phone will reboot. (You will be factory reset, of course.)
And you'll have the latest Radio and HBOOT.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADVANCED!:
Instead of using the RUU, if you just want the radio and nothing else, follow these steps:
This is not tested by me and I am not responsible if your phone blows up, bricks, etc.
Let the RUU open up till the I agree screen. (Picture above)
Now, open up task manager (Ctr-Shift-Esc / Ctrl-Alt-Delete) and go in "Processes".
Find a process called ARUWizard.exe. Right click and "Go to location".
You'll find a bunch of files and a rom.zip inside. Copy it to wherever you want, rename it to PG76IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD Card.
Then reboot your phone to bootloader. If all goes well, it will tell you its flashing. It will first flash the HBOOT and radio. Then, it will reboot.
**PULL OUT THE BATTERY WHEN YOU WILL SEE THE RECOVERY SCREEN AGAIN AFTER 1st RESTART (NOT SOONER!) **
And if everything was good, you wouldn't have lost your data, and you would have the latest HBOOT and Radio.
Thanks to Yasounet for this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO MAKE A GOLDCARD:
Use this to create one: http://www.mediafire.com/?hdxoe6e5km434tb
If you want to know when the SD card should be in the phone and / or in the reader, do this: (Refer to the Steps when you start the SimpleGoldCard software)
Step 1 of Software - SD should be in an SD card reader OR Set the phone in disk drive mode.
Step 3 of Software - SD should be in the Phone OR disable disk drive.
Good luck and Happy Flashing!
SomeDudeOnTheNet said:
Okay. Typing this out from my phone, so I'll make this quick. Sorry, but I'll elaborate when I'm on the PC.
So here's the steps to upgrading your HBOOT and radio.
1 - Lock your bootloader again by the following cmd: fastboot oem lock.
2 - Download and get the latest RUU, that contains the newest radio and hboot: http://www.filefactory.com/file/7c4...5.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe
3- Start up the RUU till its on the I agree and crap screen. Ctrl-Shift-Esc. Hit the processes tab and search for ARUwizard.exe.
4- Right click and go to location. You'll see a bunch of files and a Rom.zip.
5 - Make a goldcard and just copy the rom.zip leaked from the RUU changing its name into PG76IMG.zip. Reboot to the bootloader.
6 - If everything went well it will detect the .zip, load it and then ask you to install it. First it'll install hboot and radio, then it'll automatically reboot and flash the entire updated system, boot, etc.
7 - If you still have your unlock_code.bin from htcdev, just reboot into bootloader, on fastboot mode, and just type: fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin.
8 - It'll ask you unlock your bootloader, say yes, and then it reboots.
9 - And that's all, now you can reinstall again another recovery and flash then the rom that you want or restore and backup
I'll update this thread with pics for y'all tomorrow. My hands are paining now.

For the 2nd question:
The RUU doesn't go ahead if you have an unlocked bootloader. Since these are supposed to be used on official roms, they require a locked bootloader. At least that's what I think.

Everything after 2.13 is already unlockable. Skip the RUU step and move ahead.

Hello friends,
I'm trying to install cyanogenmod and no matter what I do I consistently get the device not found error when I try to use "adb push cm-10.2.0-RC1-endeavoru.zip \sdcard\"
I know that in the cyanogenmod install guide it says it's probable that it's a driver issue. I've looked around for a good 2 hours trying to find what it might be, so I've tried reinstalling htc sync, I've tried uninstalling htc sync and using koush's universal adb driver, but nothing seems to work.
When using "adb devices" it doesn't give me the error, it just gives me "List of devices attached" which is empty. (I'm not sure if this is what it is supposed to do though)
Attached img of what I've been doing.
USB debugging is on. It's been automatically turned on whenever I connect it to my PC since I updated to 4.2.2 anyway.
I have no idea where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, I'm completely new to this. Do you mean normal recovery from bootloader or a custom recovery that I should of done but completely skipped due to my ignorance? (I also haven't unlocked bootloader so I'm assuming that's a misstep as well?)
Because all I get when I do the normal recovery is a picture of a phone with a red triangle and "!" combo.
Thanks
Yeah to install a custom rom it's mandatory to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery. And what i can tell from your post it that you really are a novice on things. Some tips ?
1: never start without a full battery
2: learn fastboot + commands
3: always make a stock rom nandroid backup before starting flashing !
Read up in this forum. Under the stickys there are some nifty guides. If you have questions after that just ask here.

Thanks for the tips!
After a while of toiling to try and unlock the boot loader manually and getting stuck at the load error for Unlock_code.bin, I found Hasoon2000's tool, so he is my god for now.
My query that I have is, Do I need a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod to create a nandroid back up? Because all I get when I try to go into recovery from the bootloader is this (img attached, not mine because I don't have another camera in the house but luckily I managed to find one on google img.)
I can't find anything saying that I do need a custom recovery, but then again it's not working when I try without one, so I'm not too sure where to go from here.
Thanks again
Please read carefully what i write, i know exactly what to do !
You need a custom recovery !
Sorry to be back again so soon but I'm stuck again, haha.
When I try to flash cwm I get "error: cannot load 'recovery.img'". When I try to use Hasoon2000's tool kit to do it for me it doesn't work either as it just says device not found and in the second command window it says that it can't load it's .img file either.
The recovery.img is in the same location as fastboot. My phone is in Fastboot in bootloader.
I'm typing "r:\Android\adt\sdk\platform-tools\fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Trying to auto complete recovery.img using tab does nothing (if that might indicate some sort of problem).
The only thing I can think of is that the MTP drivers never install properly but I read on this forum that it shouldn't affect fastboot.
If you are on windows you must select camera as usb option

If javaj jdk is just normal java then yes. In programs and features it's called Java 7 Update 45?
Do you mean the phone drivers on my PC?
Edit: Noticed jdk was the dev kit. Downloaded and installed. Will try again.
Edit2: Still not working, same errors.
Jre is normal java jdk is the development kit
and yes that drivers

I just updated the phone drivers (without HTC sync) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2376761 to 4.2.0.001 from the 4.0 version I had that HTC sync had installed previously for some reason.
Shows up in fastboot devices now. Still doesn't show up in adb devices. Still getting the can't load recovery.img error.
Would it be worth it to try doing it on another computer?
Yes and plz post results

Ok so I still couldn't do it manually on the other computer. Got the same errors as with the first. I tried flashing with Hasoon2000's tool again and noticed that it was trying to flash CWM.img while the recovery for it was actually called recovery.img. Renamed it to CWM.img and it flashed perfectly.
I assume it would of done the same on the original PC I tried it on.
No idea why it wouldn't work when I tried it manually, but yolo. Hasoon2000 is love. Hasoon2000 is life.
Holy hell Hasoon2000 has saved me again.
I flashed the kernal by accident and it got stuck in boot. So i just sideloaded the rom in H2K's tool and everything turned up Milhouse.
Yay congrats

And if it says can not load recovery that means it's named differently or that it's not placed in the same dir of the fastboot files. A common error is that people hide filename extensions in windows. Then rename the recovery to recovery.img.img and then it won't be found by fastboot

Hmmm, I'm not sure what it would of been as a tried flashing recovery.img.img as well. But everything worked out well in the end .
Thank you both the help.
Glad to hear that it worked

Hi guys, I've been using CM 10.1 but will now sell the phone so I want to revert it back to stock. I have searched a long time for instructions but kept running into stumbling blocks. Basically, the RUU I need is 4.18.401.2 but then I found out HTC no longer released their RUUs so I tried to find a nandroid backup. Then I found this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33728099 but non of the correct RUUs match my CID (HTC_102). Can anyone give me a hand and point me in the right direction? Thanks a lot!
Use ANY 3.20.401 nand (yes you read it correctly !) Restore it completely, after that you flash back the 3.20 STOCK HTC recovery. Then search manually for OTA and update the phone as much as you can. AFTER that you can relock the bootloader if you wish !

You sir, are a saint! Just to clarify, when the bootloader is unlocked, I can still have OTA updates? When it's relocked, OTA updates are no longer possible? I'm asking because I have a new Xperia Z1 Compact and they seem to suggest that I can only use the Sony Update Service when the bootloader is relocked. I know the Sony Update Service is not OTA and is a computer application but I just wanted to clarify that's it's not a difference in the way the phones' bootloaders function.
EDIT: I've downloaded 3.20.401.1 CWM HTC__E11 and copied the contents of the rar to my phone. I went into CWM recovery and tried to restore but it said "No Files Found. Couldn't open directory." Am I looking in the wrong place? But I couldn't choose the directory (anyway, the files are in the only folder on the SD card).
EDIT 2: I tried to do a backup to see what would happen and got this: "Backing up data...No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage. Backing up cache...No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext."
EDIT 3:It worked! I'm such an idiot, the recovery was in the wrong folder. Thanks a bunch!
Good ! For a hox counts that you can do ota with and without an unlocked bootloader.

Just downloaded your stock recovery, 2.22.401.05, I see it's an 'img' rather than a 'zip'.
Do I put the file in my sdk platform tools folder, open command window and type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' after renaming the file ?
Thanks
Yep that's it exactly

Yes sir
Also you might need to restore the preloaded data (flashlight and calculator apps) depending on how you unlocked your phone initially. If you used the HTC dev unlock those apps will be deleted when the phone is wiped

I'm ok with that, s-off and unlocked bootloader with sunshine so no preloaded data 'disappeared'. So.... should be a 'complete' nandroid I've got.
Thanks

Just tried to install your stock recovery with fastboot commands. Kept getting message along the lines of "can't open file etc".
Had restored my stock nandroid successfully, put phone in fastboot mode and typed "fastboot devices" which produced my serial number ok.
Got the recovery on with a toolkit but would like to find out why it wouldn't flash with commands.
I've had these issues before with m7 too and ended up using toolkits.
Thanks.
