Hi,
I need your kind advice in fixing my issue. I have DHD Vodafone 3.13.161.3 GB 2.3.5.
I unlocked the phone using HTC official method, phone got restored to factory default and I tried to flash a custom rom without knowing that I need to change the CID.
The phone starts but get stuck on HTC logo, I have EXT4 recovery installed already.
Tried wiping and factory reset but it seems that its of no use. I can boot to hboot, it says unlocked (highlighted) and s-on.
I did try to make a goldcard, put the sdcard in another phone and used the goldcard helper app then went to the site and submitted the CID and downloaded the image and followed the steps.
(got mmc0 and mmc1, I took mmc1 by manually writting it)
I copied another official rom PD98IMG.ZIP downloaded from the net for WWE and ARA versions copied them to SDcard and got into hboot but after loading it says wrong image and goes back to hboot.
I deseparate to get it fixed, would you plz provide some guidance on how to fix it since I was not able to get Vodafone RUU or any other mechanism to fix!
Appreciate your assistance and efforts..

If you unlocked from HTCdev you have to flash kernel in fast boot rename boot.IMG to pd98img.zip and accept update. Then remove or rename to pd98img.zip.bak so it doesn't keep updating. It's because of s-on you should be able to downgrade hboot and s-off.

Thanks for your response Sammael,
Just some background info about my case:
I have DHD from Vodafone UK which was on the latest rom from Vodafone 2.3.5, I did bootloader unlock using HTCDev then flashed Ext4 recovery.
I tried flashing a custom rooted rom based on WWE version using the recovery mode (install zip from sdcard) after which I got the phone stuck on HTC logo screen everytime I try to power it on.
I tried using WWE RUUs with fastboot usb but got err155, I downloaded Vodafone PD98IMG.zip from that was uploaded by a guy in another forum but copying it to the sdcard and loading it using hboot gave me wrong image/rom message. I tried running WWE RUU then copying the PD98IMG.zip to the temp folder and renaming it to rom.zip after deleting the original rom.zip but again I got err155.
I need at least to get back on Vodafone stock rom and fix the problem, I am not sure if I need to relock the bootloader and if I must flash back the stock recovery.
Can anyone help with this as I have been trying different options for the last 4 days and all the tools that were mentioned need to have a functional phone to do usb debugging and charge only mode!

First will cover the obvious you should have unlocked via HTC dev. The hack kit is the way to go about things
Now for the fix.
Download a custom rom on PC, have androidsdk setup
Boot into recovery and reinstall your custom from.(remember to full wipe).
Once complete plug phone into PC and run adb reboot bootloader.
Once in boot loader select fast boot if its not already selected.(should read fast boot USB)
Now in the custom rom you download open it and take out the boot.img and put it wherever you have adb/fast boot folders
Then type the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot reboot
You will have to do this every time you flash a new rom, since you HTC dev unlocked. I would search into relocking boot loader and using the hack kit

Hi marsdta,
I sort of worried about doing what you suggested as my device still show the CID as VODAP001. Its on Ship S-On and the problem I got into was by flashing a custom rom through CWM.
Just to provide more info, I got the below details by running fastboot command getvar all. I also tried to run a WWE RUU with the goldcard plugged into my DHD but got this error message version-main failed status malformed 1 bytes!!

I had some progress, relocked the bootloader and copied the PD98IMG.ZIP to sdcard. The phone starts loading the PD98IMG and then running the check, it fails on some point which I think might be the PD98IMG I got is older than the software raido/hboot installed on my phone. Below are the details.
Checking PD98IMG.zip
Main version older!
update failed
Press <Power> to reboot
The PD98IMG.zip has an android-info.txt that contains the following:

I think I may need the latest PD98IMG.zip to reflash the phone back to Vodafone stock software, plz correct me if I am wrong?
The PD98IMG.zip which was provided a vodafone uk phone owner seems to check the version of my phone's current state hboot/radio.
Is there any place where I can get the latest PD98IMG.zip even if I have to pay for it?

I haven't been able to find the newest ruu for your branded device. Best I can say is keep looking. But if you can't find it your going to have to flash a from how I suggested to get a working phone.
Or maybe wait and see if anyone has other ideas to try

Hi marsdta,
Thanks for your contribution..
I have relocked my bootloader, tried flashing the PD98IMG.zip but I got main version is older message.
I unzipped the PD98IMG.zip and tried flashing the radio and the boot in fastboot USB mode but signature failed!
Do you have any suggestion or insights about what else I should do?

Did you try getting S-OFF via the Advanced Ace Hack Kit? I got a Vodafone DHD on release in Aus and was prompted to make a gold card, eventually managed S-OFF without one.
You get the main version older because your son. And you get the failed remote because your relocked the bootloader. Personally at this point I would unlock the boat loader again, flash cwr then a from and then its boot.img to get a working phone. Then if the pd98img/ruu that you need comes available go back and root properly. But for now I would say to at least get it in a useable state

Hi marsdta,
Thanks again. Just a quick clarification, which boot.img do you suggest I should flash after unlocking the bootloader and flashing cwm?

Depends on what rom you want to install.
So let's say you want to flash cm. Download the rom on your pc. Place a copy of it on your SD card as well. Boot into cwr and flash as usual. Once complete boot into the boot loader.(using adb reboot boatlader is convenient, but you could do it manually by pulley battery and powering up with volume down+power button)
Then take out the boot.img of cm zip and flash as you tried earlier(fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Then reboot phone

Hi.
I have the same problem as described here. But my desire HD is the spanish vodafone version.
I found the original RUU here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7S5vzd6Qvh9SDR4cmRwTGZWaXc/edit?usp=sharing
- I will start renaming the file to PD98IMG.zip in the SD card
- Start in bootloader mode
- Push vol+ to start the flashing
Humano, did it work?
Sent from my ATRIX HD
When running the RUU I encounter an error 155.
After unplugging the data cable:

RUU
Security fail!
Update fail!
The bootloader is unlocked via HTCDEV
The phone is rooted. CWM installed and reinstalled via rommanager
I assume that:
fastboot oem lock
might work to fix the security fail.
Can anyone give me an advice on howto proceed?
After removing battery and reinserting battery, the phone boots normally.

Try to relock your boot loader, with command fastboot oem lock.
Then try to run RUU again.
The error 155 seems fixed.
Now I get an error 131
Suppose it is time to rename the rom.zip I recovered to PG76IMG.zip and try to flash it?
so create gold card and reflash the phone?

Gold card succesfully created, but still no succesfull flash

I had the same problem, with BL unlocked, you do not need gold card.
extract the rom.zip
Copy:
boot.img
system.img
to your computer Android directory (where you have fastboot and adb, you need to download them)
boot WFS into hboot, mark fastboot, hit power button and attach usb cable
now open a command shell in the computer:
fastboot flash boot boot.img <-- will flash kernel and boot
fastboot flash system system.img <-- will flash stock rom
now go to hboot, factory reset and restart
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530864 this will help you just click the last option and you will be able to try again and it will work

I have tried flashing the signed RUUs that I found in another post, but I either get invalid or it sticks at verifying. I don't know where to proceed from here - I can't recognize the device in CMD either (adb devices results in no devices found). What step should I take next? Am I bricked?
I would appreciate any help, I'm getting really disheartened by all of this I have dug through every post like mine to no avail.
After you HTCDev Unlocked, did you flash a recovery and a ROM? What are you trying to do?
Since you're still S-ON, when you flash a ROM you also need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and flash that in fastboot using "fastboot flash boot boot.img". That could be why you're stuck at the white screen, there is no boot image.
If you're trying to flash a ROM, flash a custom recovery "fastboot flash recovery" and then the name of your recovery file, like "recovery-CWM-5.0.2.0.im" or whatever. Then flash the ROM in recovery. Then reboot to hboot and flash the boot.img.
Adb will only work if you're in recovery or the phone is booted. If you're in hboot you need to use fastboot commands.
If you really want to flash a RUU, you need to get into fastboot and give the command "fastboot oem lock", which of course relocks the device.
So I tried updating from a CM10 nightly to CM10.1 RC5 today. It went did not end well.
I extracted the boot.img from the zip and ran "fastboot flash boot boot.img", I then ran "fastboot erase cache". However, when I rebooted into hboot I noticed that it still said H-BOOT-1.12.0000, I then tried to just boot into standard CM again, which hangs on the boot animation.
I've tried a ton of other boot images since then, but none of them work. Did I just brick my phone?
This is the information displayed on the hboot screen:

Please help
the boot.img won't update the bootloader! only the firmware does....
I just wanted to say the same thing..you mixed boot.img and h-boot
boot.img is ROM-s specific kernel, H-boot is like "bios"
To upgrade h-boot you can:
1. Reverse your phone to full stock and do OTA update which automatically upgrade h-boot
2. Or flash manually firmware specific for you CID - you can find firmware collections here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
Search on forum guide how to properly upgrade h-boot, but as i recall (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953338&page=117) you need to relock bootloader, put phone in ruu mode, and flash firmware- more than one if necesary! BUT DO SEARCH PLEASE !!
And to boot to your old CM10 you need to flash boot.img from CM10 ROM zip file that you flashed before - not this one for CM10.1
