When trying to down grade using this guide
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/HTC_Desire_Z:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread)
When I get to Step 9 fastboot always errors (regardless of machine I try)
Tried using the DesireZ PC10IMG and it says data length is too long.
The HTC Vision PC10IMG.zip is the only one fastboot actually sends over but error.

Did you use to unlock at one point? If so that's the issue
Boot to bootloader and write down everything you see on that screen here

To downgrade you gotta relock using the HTC tool, then and only then can you downgrade to s-off
can i relock using another method? (I am unable to find the hboot lock instructions)
EDIT: sorry I wrote before I tried. Used ACS and it worked

I don't know how it all works. Try googling how to relock using the HTCdev unlock tool.

Problem with s-off

Hello there. I have small problem with s-offing my desire z.... what i done is that i unlocked the phone with Htcdev and flasheod cwm... then i left the phone in Poland... when i got it back I flashed the custom rom... but then i realized i forgot to s off it.... i tried numerous tutorials i managed t change version number to allow downgrade but i always fail when it comes to flash the official rom PC10IMG.zip file.... is there any way i can get it to work? (btw i assume that i dont have to root the device once the custom rom is rooted already) I used this guide

You do need to root it, and you will also have to relock your bootloader first as htcdev unlocked hboot is nearly worthless. Find nipqer's guide and you'll be good.

I was actually followin nipqlers guide but the problem seemed to be the unlocked boot loader i must have had skiped it.... anyways i reclocked the boot loader and it seemed to work thanks

But same problem
Can give me link for another to try plz
Pvillecomp.com. it should have all but the newer files. Try the froyo or gingerbread ruu there and read the help on the site. If you're still confused you can come back and ask questions. Also please report on your progress if you hit any issues or are successful.

Try reformating your sdcard fat32 with a pc. Then place only the ruu on the sdcard and try again. Sometimes that gets it to work.
My sdcard is FAT32 , I'm tired with it
When I try do it with android-sdk I get "FAILED (remote: not allowed)"

Even though its already fat32, sometimes reformating it gets it to work.
If your getting the remote not allowed message, it means the bootloader is still locked.

Thats strange, with the bootloader unlocked you should have no issues fastboot flashing cwm recovery. Download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/recovery.img, and place it on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe. Open a cmd prompt with the phone connected. The phone should be in hboot and say fastboot usb plug in red at the top. Type " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ".
It's working fine with recovery

That sounds like a bad download/corruption of the PB file, or the version of ruu you are trying to flash is older than the version on the phone. Try this one http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip

[Q] Bricked phone while flashing

Hello,
While I was preparing my phone to flash cyanogenmod 10.1 to my desire HD i bricked it.
It is now in a bootloop while not being updated yet,
How it came to be:
I Unlocked the bootloader with the help of htcdev
After this I tried to root it which by me succeeded,
Then i tried to do a S-OFF but this failed, and then in my rush i flashed cyanogenmod.
Now I am trieing to revert back my changes to the stock RUU of HTC, but this also gives errors
When i try to reinstall my current version (3.13 with hboot 2.00.0029) it gives an error that the rom is not supported.
Then i try to install the previous version (3.12.405.1) and then it says that there is a newer version and then stops.
The CID of my phone is: HTC__E11
The current HBOOT is: 2.00.0029
Radio: 26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
MICROP: 0438
The phone is unbranded and direct of HTC.
I hope you can help me with this issue.
Kind Regards and Thanks in Advance,
Jasper
It's not bricked. It's in a bootloop.

I'm a bit Rusty so here it goes. Do double check what I'm about to tell you.
Either:
You also need to flash the rom img after having a recovery installed - do you have one?
Or, relock the bootloader and use glevitans tool.
If those don't work, flash a ruu to start over.

This is what i actually want to do at the moment, but this is actually what is going wrong, but i do have access to fastboot and clockworkmod recovery.
But i will check the glevitans tool.

Coffee hasn't kicked in yet.
Try flashing a rom, the rom img using fastboot. If that doesnt work relock the bootloader, then try flashing the ruu.

Hi Teichopsia,
Problem is solved, thank for pointing me in the right direction
I fixed the problem by setting the version to 1.1.111.1 with misc_version
After this I flashed the original RUU and it is now working as a charm again.
Thanks again.

HTC Desire 820 (OPFJ400 D820N) Locked even after Unlock process

Hi, i got this phone since a couple of years now, and i gave it to my father, and one day he called me and said " the phone does'nt work anymore, i've got a weird screen with multiple colors"
So, i've tried to factory reset from the hboot menu first, also tried a simple reboot and it didn't changed anything, the phone reboot everytime to the same screen :

*** LOCKED ***

After looking around on the internet, i've seen a bunch of people having the same problems, and almost all of them managed to solve it.
I've been to htc website in order to get my Unlock.bin file, after that, i typed fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin , the phone gave me this message "Unlock bootloader ?" , i pressed the power button after selecting yes. And after a few moments, the phone rebooted to the same screen, with nothing changed on it.
So i tried to flash twrp on it anyway but it gave me this :
