Do you have the fastboot.exe file?
Several questions - do you have adb and fastboot? If not I recommend this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269
Second - do you have USB debugging checked?

Problem-1) My pc doesnot recognize my device in fastboot mode when connected via USB in fastboot mode. It shows fastbootusb in the screen though. I am tired of searching for the solution but remained unsuccessful.
Problem-2) in the installation tutorial of evrery kernel it says to flash bootimg. Which bootimg should I flash? If The kernel comes with modules what do do with the modules. How to install the kernel which has modules?
Please help.

If recovery says fastbootusb that means its detected already. It won't show up as a device on your PC, and only accessible through adb commands.
boot.img is usually provided in the the thread, or you can choose your kernel of choice. Install then boot.img through recovery while in fastbootusb mode, then enter Recovery and flash the modules that you downloaded with the boot.img
Just follow the guides on here, it's been covered before

So as will be immediately obvious, I am new to posting on this site and I'm sure the title will explain why. Before I start, I was using (the 'was' will be explained later) a rooted stock ROM and I had not backed it up (the instructions I used forgot to mention it).
The 2.17 HOX OTA update was finally released by three (I'm currently on 1.28) and I hoped that this update would fix several problems I've been having (standard HOX problems like battery life, camera quality, lag, and an ever growing system data). So I was fairly desperate to install this update, but when I tried clockwork recovery told me that it failed, and by using google I discovered that I'm not the only one with this problem.
This where I get stupid. In desperation to install this update I found that SuperSu has an option to full unroot and I hoped that this would reinstall the stock recovery in the process, but now I am left with an unrooted phone with clockwork recovery installed.
If anyone can help me reinstall the stock recovery so I can install this update I'd very much appreciate it. I apologise if I was long winded, I just felt it better to try and explain the whole situation.

You need to install Android SDK on the PC you want to do this on.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Update/install everything on it once installed.
Then you can begin.

I have just successfully reinstalled the stock recovery, and although I am very grateful for your help, you forgot to mention the next step which was to type "fastboot oem lock" on command prompt.
Thanks again!

Re-unlock your bootloader
Flash CWM touch recovery
Flash a custom rom
this will get your phone back up & running whilst giving you the root you were after in the first place.

You can use the same unlock code, use the same bin file, you don't need to generate it all again.
Once unlocked,
Enter fastboot on your phone
Plug into PC (should now say fastboot usb)
Flash CWM touch recovery
CWM touch > http://db.tt/VF9J2eo8
place it in your fastboot folder within Android SDK on your PC
Open command prompt on pc
Default commands are: (first command is different if your pc installation of Android SDK differs from its default location)
CD c:/Android-SDK/platform-tools
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
---
Then you want to download a custom rom of choice,
You can place the zip files on your phone from within CWM recovery whilst plugged into PC - just select mount usb storage within CWM recovery, and drag them to your phone, then unmount.

If you have the unlock code file still, you dont need to go to HTC Dev - just use the same command you used before.

Hi, I have a Desire Z that keeps restarting itself almost. I can go as far as opening the app drawer before it restarts again. I'm trying to figure out how to fix it or at least recover/backup files from the phone. Can anyone help?
if I flash a custom recovery/root my phone, will that wipe everything on the phone? I am mainly concerned with backing up all my data. The stock recovery shows phone with red triangle, dont know what that means. Please help.

If i remember correctly you can do this by holding down the S button while booting the device.

Tried booting in safe mode, still the same thing. The phone reboots as soon as the launcher is done loading. I think its an issue with either the launcher or there's a conflict in android/sense which is causing a crash. Still trying out different things.
Edit:
Since I have never recieved OTA update for this phone, I believe I'm still on RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28 b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2. I have adb set up, is there a way to confirm I can safely S-OFF/root?
Edit 2:
Did a factory reset - no changes, still rebooting
Edit 3:
Seems like USB debug is not turned on my phone, I tried my gt-i900 and can see it using adb devices but not when i plug in my Desire Z
Edit 4:
While in stock recovery, I have a phone with a red triangle, and adb shows device as offline. At least I can confirm that adb is working with my DZ. Now to figure out how to push files to it
After the factory reset you won't get any of your data back, but you need an os so you can root. Find the latest ruu for your phone and fllash it through fastboot or bootllader as a pc10img

is fastboot the same as adb? for example, when using gfree do i just replace adb push with fastboot push?
Edit: Nvm, figured it out, now I need to find the proper RUU for my phone, which one should i be using?
Edit: Stupid question above, I already mentioned which ruu i was using so I'll try to flash that. brb
Nope, adb is similar to fastboot but different, read my thread on it as if you own any HTC phones (and various others) its a must to learn. You'll find it here in the general section
You will use fastboot not to root but to flash the latest ruu as you need to have adb access and this means you'll need an os that's working.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
This is the command you will run in cmd or terminal but read up on my thread to understand more

I read your thread, very helpful. I had one question though, do i need an oem ruu to run the command fastboot oem rebootRUU? I'm just confused as to whether I need to root first, flash the hboot, or flash the ruu. I also have the stock recovery so when do i flash the cwmr?
1st you need the ruu, I believe nipqer has most on his server found in one of his threads. You will use fastboot to flash this. This will rewrite all your firmware and software and hopefully produce a functional os so you can get adb access
Once this is done, follow the xda wiki to root your phonephone

Finally! Phone boots up and I have adb access.

No you dont need s-off to flash kernels and roms. With you bootloader unlocked and a custom recovery installed you can flash as many roms/kernels as your heart desires. Just remember to make a Nandroid backup of your stock rom before you flash anything, that will save you a head ache in the future if something ever happens to your device while flashing tweaks
