If you have CWM's latest recovery then you should be able to flash a different custom rom, boot the phone into recovery and mount USB storage, copy over the new rom, unmount storage and format the system, data, cache and davik cache and then install rom..... you will need to flash the boot.img for the rom from fastboot before it will boot.
If you instructions on going back to stock then look at my sig or look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735930&page=3
Edit: Upon doing a quick search it seams that RUU version isn't available yet, only way for you currently is to flash a custom rom.

Thnx for the reply mate, however i am not on a custom firmware..infact i just rooted my phone with one click rooting method and post which the phone was rebooting everytime i was playing any music file.
So i went to the recovery and tried clearing cache/sdcard/system/etc but that didn't help, then i tried formatting the sdcard/system and post that my phone is stuck on the boot screen.
Since then..i've been trying many things, infact i also tried to flash the stock recovery...which happened successfully but sadly the phone did not boot. Man what to do?

You formatted the system partition, which is where all the files for your phone were located (so all the system files have been deleted..... you should have really taken a backup of the phone before doing anything to it); you need to flash the latest CWM recovery from HERE
and then download and install a custom ROM onto your phone as the RUU that you need is not yet available.

for first link: Thats only the "Over The Air" update file, you still need a working stock rom'd phone to flash it.
for second link: That should be fine to install onto your phone once you have the CWM Recovery flashed onto your phone, remember to also flash over the boot.img file before you try and boot the phone.... otherwise it just wont boot

I have HTC__044 One X and recently updated OTA to JB 3.14.707.24. I went ahead and rooted the phone. I made the Nandroid backup but left it on the phone and have not copied it to the PC.
Then I tried to load a custom ROM and fastboot a boot image. However, I forgot to copy the ROM to the phone memory.
Now my phone cannot go beyond the White HTC screen. I tried to go in recovery and restore from my backup but it is not working either.
Guys can you please help me install either stock or custom ROM so my phone is working again. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I got it working till it mounts sdcard to USB. Now need to flash ROM. Will update.
I just got an HTC Desire A8181, and it is my very first time using an Android Device. The thing is that I already know that you can do a lot of things with Android devices (thats why I swapped from iOS to Android). Now here is my point, I basically need to know:
Basics about software and OS customizing for Android.
Basic things to know before do anything to my phone.
Tutorials for root the device (HTC Desire A8181)
Want to know if it is possible to make the phone work faster in terms of Manage the Processor and Ram Usage, how to do it, and understand the process.
And any other information that could be useful in order to make my phone work a lot better (take into consideration that I'm new with the OS and the phone, so there are a lot of things that I dont know about this theme.)
I also want to know if it is possible to install the latest Android Version on my HTC Desire and make it work fast.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
The desire comes with sense 2.3 gingerbread. Sense is HTC's skin that they overlay ontop of the android operating system. Although it may look nice (doesnt really look that good to me), it is heavy and causes decreases in performance. When you s-off your device, and install a custom recovery you will be able to flash an aosp based custom rom. Aosp = android open source project, and basically means stock pure android...nothing running on top. As you can probably predict, this will result in faster speeds, less ram usage, and better battery. I think that answers the first few questions.
Next Ill move on to how to root it (make your phone good). I honestly think the term "root" is deceiving to most new users. I see people asking "how do i root my phone", but i think what they really want is to install a custom recovery and flash a custom rom. Being rooted on stock rom is pointless to me. Custom roms are where the good stuff is at.
Post your bootloader details here and ill walk you through the process. To get these details turn the phone off, then hold power + volume down until the phone boots into the bootloader. It should look similar to this. Post all of the first couple of lines at the top. The whole process summarized is this: s-off, install custom recovery, flash custom rom
There are also some other things that i would recommend doing so that you can have extra space for apps (you probably noticed you barely have any space at the moment), but ill get to that later when i give you more instructions.
Thanks for response so fast!

Please tell me that I did not ****ed my phone
Ok so here is my problem now on, I tried to flash the CyanogenMod, but I dont know if i ****ed my phone or im just missing something...
Here is what I did:
1- I followed the instructions on another thread about the HTC_Unlock_Bootloader_Tool in order to unlock the bootloader.
2- I copied the CM-7.2.0.1-bravo.zip file into the sd card manually and also by using the "adb push" command.
But now my phone turns on, but every time that I try to access the Recovery option from the Fastboot menu just gives me an icon of the phone with a red advertise sign and then I press "Volume Up + Power" and got access to some sort of recovery options... But cannot go further than that... What can I do? Please tell me that I did not ****ed my phone?
When u unlock the bootloader u must then flash recovery via fastboot commands. In my sig ul see 4ext recovery as PB99IMG, download and extract the recovery.img and flash via fastboot. U can find a fastboot guide in bortaks troubleshooting guide (in my sig also)
Thanks for your response.

Ok so here is my new actual situation, cause I went to sleep at 3.00am just to keep working with the phone...
After check within some forums and stuff I realized that there was an app called ROM Manager that can flash the Recovery and also the ROM (Cyanogenmod is the one I want to install), I started researching for another way to do it since every single time that I tried to start in FastBoot and use the recovery option in order to flash anything I just got a black screen with an icon that seems to be the same phone with a red alert sign on its corner (icon which i really did not like at all!!!), so I started checking for another way to work with this and found ROM Manager, but when the app was installed and I tried to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery but ROM Manager was giving an error related with permissions, I thought that my HTC Desire was already Rooted since it said "*** Unlocked ***" on the Fastboot menu (My fault!) but I realized that it is not Rooted after download the Root Checker app from the Store... So basically here is the case resumed: Fastboot "Unlocked" (Via easy unlocker tool), ROM Manager App (Installed but no permissions to Flash the ClockworkMod Recovery nor CyanogenMod ROM), Root Checker App (Installed and seems that my phone is not rooted)... How do I need to proceed now on???
Thanks in advance for all your help! I never thought that Android were this complicated, but I like it ****ing so much!!! So I think that it is most likely a beginner issue

Well, to root it, you need to flash a Superuser zip from recovery. To flash it, you need a custom recovery. To get a custom recovery, you do what @jmcclue said 2 posts above.

Hahahahaha yeah sorry about that but I'm working so it is difficult to be on the phone talking about Hard Drives and troubleshoot them, while trying to figure out whats going on with my phone hahahahaha
So Basically and if I'm not mistaken (hopefully not, let me know if I am) I need to do the following:
-Download and Flash the 4eXT Recovery as PB99IMG from the previous response: After download the file can I go to CMD and use "adb reboot bootloader" then "adb fastboot flash recovery PB99IMG.zip" (that must flash the recovery right?)
-Then I need to Flash the Superuser from a Zip file: By accessing the new Recovery Interface installed previously, wipe chache / install from sd card / install from zip (that must root my device right?)
-After that I should be able to turn on my phone as normal and use the ROM Manager in order to Flash the CyanogenMod 7.2 right?
Sorry that I bother all of you in this way with so many question and ****, but I really want not only to flash my drive but also to learn about the process and what I'm doing to my phone... Thanks for everything.

Ok, so after check the other post with the PB99IMG method the phone should ask meto install something after put the zip file into the sd card and start the bootloader???

Yes thats what you should do. If that doesnt work you would try flashing the recovery via fastboot.
When you go into recovery right now and see the red warning thing, that is normal. It is the stock recovery, which makes sense because you havent installed a custom recovery yet. Once 4ext is installed you will no longer see that screen.

Do this:

Then extract the .img file from the PB99IMG zip, and put it on your C drive, do the path would be C://recovery.img.
Then, open CMD, connect your phone in fastboot mode, and use this command:

please, can anyone know how to fix it ? htc always was pain in ass to root, but this time i stuck. Many threads are similar, but mostly people stuck after they already rooted and flash rom, i don't go that far, not sure phone is even rooted, but bootloader is unlocked so far.

Mate, it sounds like your system is wiped, so the phone can't boot. Do you have any experience with fastboot and ADB commands?
If so, download a custom recovery (CWM, or TWRP, or Phil'z touch - recommended), place it in your fastboot folder, and type:
fastboot flash recovery downloadedrecoveryname.img in CMD window.
This wil enable you to use custom recovery.
Hopefully, you already have a custom ROM which you want to install. Extract boot.img from the ROM.zip, and place it in your fastboot older, and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img in CMD window, followed by fastboot erase cache.
Then, reboot to your recovery, and flash ROM.zip (I guess you don't need any specific instructions for that).

No, mate.
The ROM.zip goes to your sd card.
You can copy it through recovery, but mounting sd card.
In recovery you have all these options. Also, in ROM's thread (whichever you chose to flash) there is thorough instruction how to flash ROM.

Yeah 4EXT was great recovery miss it too from my Sensation, flash PHILZ v 5.x (not 6.x) and your touch will work
I have a soft-bricked HTC One M8, It happened when I was attempting to return the phone to stock android with stock kernel and stock recovery while relocking the bootloader, none of that is really important though what happened is I had a bad flash and the phone got put into a bootloader loop with no OS. It still had an Unlocked bootloader with S-Off. Once it was in a bootloader loop I was able to download a custom recovery via fastboot commands, the phone can now go into TWRP but it will only boot version 2.7.0.0 - earlier versions don't boot at all and newer versions will boot but are non-responsive/have no display.
Once in TWRP 2.7.0.0 I use push command from adb to load a stock android RUU zip into my MicroSD, I attempt to flash it via TWRP 2.7.0.0 but get a failed response. I have cleared everything and TWRP 2.7.0.0 is having trouble mounting /data/. I tried using using push command through adb to put a newer version of TWRP on my MicroSD so that TWRP could flash it but TWRP was unable to do so. Any version of Clockwork Mod has been unsuccessful to boot.
Essentially TWRP 2.7.0.0 can't flash anything or mount anything for me, I believe I need either a newer version or a different recovery, but no other recovery or twrp version seems to be able to boot correctly.
Any tips, advice, or general help would be extremely appreciated. I try to help myself before asking others and I don't know what else I can do, I have searched the forums for every relevant thread possible and tried many many things to get this to work with no success. Thank you for reading.

That's not how to flash an RUU.zip
This is how it is done.
Make sure that your extSD is formatted to FAT32 first. It won't work otherwise.
After the format, rename the zip to 0P6BIMG.zip (that's a zero, not the letter) and place it onto the root of your card.
Boot into bootloader (Turn off you phone, then boot it up while holding power + vol down) and select hboot if it doesn't do that automatically.
Follow the prompts (vol up to flash ~ power to reboot)
That's it. Super easy.
Make sure to delete the renamed file from your extSD, otherwise every time you boot to hboot, it'll try to update again.

Hello, thank you for your reply, I was traveling for holidays and have been working on the phone for the past couple of days and have run into alot of trouble doing what you say here, any help would be greatly appreciated I'm at the end of my rope with this phone. I got the 0P6BIMG.zip RUU and loaded it onto my Fat.32 formatted SD Card , I loaded the card into the phone and followed the fastboot options to flash, it recognized the RUU and attempted to flash it but said the model ID was incorrect. I opened up the zip and sure enough the android-info.txt file in the RUU does not list my model number and I cannot put my model number into it because it is an htc encrypted zip that will not let me change the file properties of the archive. I thought about trying to put the HTC into developer kernel so that my model ID would line up with that of the RUU info file but I did something (don't know what I did) and now fastboot won't even recognize the device (fastboot devices command shows nothing when phone is in fastboot USB mode).
My mid is 0P6B20000
My cid is VZW_001

My goodness, I looked for this RUU everywhere, I would type in my mid and cid into google, I checked the One m8 archive of RUU's in that XDA thread, I couldn't find it. I don't know how you did, but you just saved my phone! Im booted into Android 4.4.2, receiving texts and everything. I'll figure out if I'm safe to update android later, I'm just so happy to have a working phone again. I gave you a thanks but do you have a contribution link or anything I could give to? You have helped me out tremendously.

I gave you an old RUU link. Sorry.
You can get the 5.0.1 RUU.zip from here if you want to update. It would be good to do it now, since running the RUU wipes your device, and yours is already wiped.
I've sent a PM with a donation link.
Thank you!
