Stuck flashing a ROM with HTC Desire HD - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi guys,
two days already I am trying to flash a custom ROM to my HTC Desire HD.
First I managed to unlock the bootloader using the Easy Ace Root Tool and installed ClockworkMod.
Then I tried flashing JellyTime 4.2 R11 and it got stuck at the HTC logo screen. I tried all kinds of suggestions from the forums about wiping / formatting via ClockworkMod but with no success.
Afterwards I used a second phone to put the Download Android Revolution HD 7.3 ROM on the SD card and flash it. This one went fine through the installation wizard but when I was back to ClockworkMod recovery mode I got: "Can't open /cache/recovery/log" "Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log". Then I selected reboot and it was hanging on the HTC logo again... I was waiting for a minute before I took the battery out... After this I tried "format /cache" from the CWM but didn't help either.
Then I tried using a RUU utility in fastbood mode to flash an official HTC ROM: RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.
It reached a particular point saying that the update failed.
I thought I cannot install the official ROM because I have unlocked the bootloader, so I locked it again using the htc fastboot utility. This didn't help either and the RUU failed again.
Here is what the bootloader currently shows:
***** RELOCKED *****
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
Dec 22 2011, 14:28:19
I am at a point when I am ultimately confused and I don't know how much time I have (in terms of battery I mean )
So I have just a couple of shots before this turns into a beautiful piece of aluminium brick.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Pesho

Fixed
Fixed it.. Had to flash the boot.img using the fastboot utility.

is there any solution or idea to get "S-Off"?
have you tryed following this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964996
This might have been your case:
...
"Do NOT attempt to downgrade a Inspire or DHD shipped with Gingerbread with a Froyo RUU.
Do NOT attempt to install the ENG HBOOTs on these models.
Doing this WILL severely degrade bootloader performance on Inspires (and likely DHDs) and causes issues trying to install RUUs. In other words, it WILL jam you up. (Note: Issue now confirmed on later DHDs - ignore at your own risk)."
...
Get on the irc channel specified in the AAHK thread and ask for help there.
The guys there are really helpful.

( Q ) bricked HTC desire

Dear Experts,
Yesterday while updating my friends HTC desire, the phone got bricked.. here is the chronology of events that went thru.. the phone was updated to 2.3.3 using official ROM exe.
* I successfully S-off the phone using revolutionary but could not push superuser, I tried using unrevoked but could not.
* I unfortunately, thinking that the phone was already on s-off gave it a hboot data++ to install cooked ROM, the phone stopped update giving error E:signature verification failed and since then it hasn't went beyond HTC logo and later booting itself to recovery automatically..
* I tried hboot from alpharev 1.8 stock and downgrade but the phone does not respond.
* tried to use the exe to run on pc but phone isn't detected, tried even after extracting the ROM to update official ROM via sdcard but same signature verification failed error. Gold card hasn't been made for the phone, I have tried to push amonra but doesn't work either..
Plz help...

You are fully aware that this forum section is for HTC Desire aka Bravo and not HTC DesireS aka Saga right?
via xda app
Sorry my mistake...
@ibraahim: it's very important for us to know which recovery you are using. Due to your description I'm sure the zip you wanted to install wasn't signed so you have to disable the signature verification in your recovery.
I guess you are using the clockworkmod (cwm) recovery or the AmonRA recovery because they are very popular. If you have the cwm recovery (the name and version are displayed on the top of the recovery, like ClockworkMod 5.x.x.x....) choose install zip form sd card and afterwards toggle signature verification.
If you have the AmonRA recovery (name and version are displayed on the bottom of your recovery, like Build: RA-desire-v.2.x.x) choose other and afterwards toggle signature verify.

DHD stuck at HTC logo after using Advanced Ace Hack Kit

Hey guys,
i have big problem right now. I just got my Desire HD back from the HTC service guys with Android Version 2.3.5 and a software Version at around 3.?.?.
Now I tried to get root on my phone by using AAHK from here:
http://www.2shared.com/file/FaZdYXtC/aahk-07052012.html
I was following this tutorial, which is in German (sorry guys):
http://www.brutzelstube.de/2011/root-fur-das-htc-desire-hd-mit-dem-advanced-hack-kit/
after the Kit tried to downgrade my phone, the phone stucked at that HBOOT, which shows the following:
Ace PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MicroP-0438
Radio-26.09.04.11_M2
eMMC-boot
Apr 12 2011,00:55:45
Then I have these options:
Fastboot
Recovery
Factory Reset
Simlock
Image CRC
I wasnt able to navigate by using the volume up/down keys. Nothing worked.
So, somewhere on the web I read that I should start the phone (vol down + power) with no sd card in it.
Alright, now i can navigate in HBOOT.
If i try to start the phone normally, it stucks at the HTC Logo. Even after 15 Minutes waiting, nothing happened.
Any ideas?
I would be even happy just to get back to stuck htc rom.
I´d really appreciate any help!
thx guys,
meevil

Your sdcard is corrupted. Besides, why are you using a version of the kit that is not the lastest that it is in attn1's site? Don't risk the phone by using a youtube tutorial, just read and do it yourself.
Besides, if you are stuck and you have read the effen manual you would haven seen that there's an IRC support channel. :good:

the thing is that the downgrade failed first check the md5sum of the ROM downloaded by the AAHK under the name of "PD98IMG" it should be "69af684168bfd6b9f34fc138e160b4d5" in my case i've an arabic based rom with android 2.3.3 then if you checked the rom is valid you can postt it on the root of an new SD card, since yours is "i think" is broken and flash it using hboot, or you can download an stock 2.3.3 RUU and flash the rom using your PC then you can root your DHD using AAHK "use latest version and make sure to understand every bit of it" take it easy, it happened to me and i managed to get just fine.... wish you the best

[Q] Inc2 stuck at white htc screen

I have searched and there are many threads regarding this problem but many have links that are dead or are not exactly my situation. Here is what I did:
I rooted the phone using the guide at theunlockr.com http://theunlockr.com/2013/02/20/how-to-root-the-htc-droid-incredible-2/
I was unable to gain root using Superuser-3.1.3 because the update firmware would fail. I downloaded CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip and that worked fine. Verified root with multiple applications.
Next I tried loading the Cyangenmod 7.2 ROM by copying it to the root of the SD card, going to HBOOT and loading the zip. It appeared to work fine. I rebooted the phone and that is when it hung at the htc screen.
I thought I backed up but it was late and I may have messed that up. No files to restore. I tried factory reset but no joy. I also tried going back to factory stock at this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599767 but still no joy.

[Q] Trying to Restore TELUS Stock ROM

Hi XDA-devs,
I have a HTC Desire HD from Telus. I've hit a dead end after hours of searching, trying to no avail. I have seen similar attempts by others on the forums who have had a degree of success, but they also come from other paths.
I WAS running Clockwork Mod, with Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 and was attempting to bring my phone back to original Telus stock.
I was following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731324
I had downloaded the RUU EXE from that thread and ran it in administrator and like many people before me, the RUU could not detect my phone, I had tried installing HTC Sync, still no effect.
So like someone had suggested on that thread, that I extracted the ROM from the RUU, by using this method:
https://sites.google.com/site/androidbyyorzua/home/tutorials/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-ruu
I went to recovery, and tried to install that ZIP. it said. E:Can't open /sdcard/rom.zip (bad)
Assuming I had chosen the wrong option. So then I went to look how to FLASH the ROM. Searching I found the ULTIMATE ACE GUIDE on here: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30020025&postcount=7)
Followed it's steps starting on Page 5. So far I only completed steps 1-7 which include Formatting Data/Wiping Cache and Formatting System. haven't actually installed anything new yet.
Upon rebooting, I got stuck on the White HTC Boot Screen, Pressing Vol-down + Power does not do anything, Pulling the battery just repeats this symptom.
Fortunately, I used ADB, and managed to get it back to HBOOT and eventualy back to Clockwork Mod Recovery. So as far as I know I'm not yet Bricked, but still need a good ROM to properly install.
Things you may ask me:
Clockwork Mod v5.0.2.0
My SD is goldcarded.
Obviously my Phone has been Rooted Before.
The Rom I was trying to install is: "RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe"
Update: I just reloaded Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 back on, so again, my phone is fine, it's simply a matter of finding a Telus Stock Rom that I can install via ZIP.
I cannot help in RUUs, but if you want Sense 3 you should really give a try for Android Revolution HD 9.0, that's a great ROM for that and doesn't have much changes in look compared to stock.
What's the point in all these RUU's and steps to extracting the ROM from it if they don't do anything ;P?
Are you S-Off or S-On? Is your bootloader relocked? What does hboot say?
