You can do it without any issues and if it doesn't detect right - its simply because of your HBOOT version on your HTC. You'll need HBOOT-1.08.
You can check your HBOOT version in the HBOOT menu when pressing volume down with the turn on button on ur HTC. Make sure you do this when your phone is off obviously.
Linux operating system works without any issues. Just make sure you have ADB and fastboot installed on your operating system (android-tools on Arch Linux)

How do we do them with a Linux operating system?
I have fastboot flasher program but she also just have no idea about how to do. I am very curious in this forum, only I'm using linux?
all i know is that i used HTCDev to unlock the bootloader the other day and it said i needed HTC Sync software to do this. HTC Sync is Windows only. according to what it says there, you can't unlock the bootloader on Linux.
I unlocked mine via HTCDev on Linux, no problem. The requirement to have HTC Sync installed is to ensure you have the correct drivers installed for Windows, it's not necessary otherwise.
You just need to have the adb/fastboot binaries. Easiest way is to just install the Android SDK (as recommended on HTCDev), but you can find them floating about elsewhere. Once you've got them the commands are the same regardless of your platform.

Hi, I have HTC Vision and recovery ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.1.0 and want to flash a new recovery (4ext). Device isn't recognized by fastboot, but it is recognized by adb. I have Windows 8 and tried to install tons of drivers, but nothing helped. Could you recommend to me which drivers i should install (it doesnt matter if linux, mac or windows) or recommend to me another way how to install new recovery?
Are you in bootloader mode when using fastboot? Here you will find lots of info on fastboot and the vision in general

I have also experienced problems with Windows 8 and Android Drivers. If you work on Linux you shouldn't need any drivers.
For Windows 7 just install HTC Sync from Website and you should be fine (http://www.htc.com/de/support/content.aspx?id=6223).
If you have S-OFF you can install 4EXT with the APK (does not work with S-ON), this link gets you the App http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk.
I'm currently s-on and unlocked with ARHD 9.2. I can't get any drivers to allow me to be detected in fastboot and I've used multiple USB cords. I'm just wondering if there would be any 4.0+ ROMs that would be compatible with my current boot.img or if there are any alternative methods to flashing my boot.img
I hope you're familiar with Terminal Emulator. Follow below link and get things running.
And yeah,every kernel suppose to be specific for The ROM has designed.

As long as you are S-ON you can install 4EXT Recovery Touch to flash any kernel with smartflash.
You could also try to make your device S-OFF.Try this guide if you like.
Why you can't install drivers for fastboot?
Can you see your phone gets recogniced in device manager?
Just download and install latest htc drivers.(If you download and install htc sync it installs the latest drivers but you have to uninstall sync after installation.It won't remove htc drivers)
If you have win8 you probably have to install drivers manually.

My ultimate purpose is to root my HTC Desire HD. To be able to do it, i need to extract the token for HTCDEV method via fastboot. It seems like the windows 8.1 drivers are not compatible with fastboot for my mobile. I've tried updating various drivers from device manager but nothing has worked till now. Can anyone help me with this fastboot issue?

I don t have win 10, but what shows the devicemanager?
can you force to install the drivers again?
I fixed it. I ran htc manager. Then I installed Google usb drivers in sdk manager. Dont know which one done The trick
