Coming to the issue i am facing ...

I have a HTC Desire HD with the following data ...

HBOOT-0.85.0024

MICROP-0438

RADIO-26.10.04.03_M

eMMC-boot

Apr 12 2011, 00:55:45

It was shipped with a GB ROM probably the below version ...

ROM version 2.47.502.7 (luckily i got this ROM version when i tried running the 'WWE RUU...exe'

I HAD NOT ROOTED MY PHONE ...

I HAVE NOT UNLOCKED THE BOOTLOADER EITHER FROM THE HTC DEV WEBSITE ...

I WAS STLL TRYING OUT THE STOCK GB ON MY NEW PHONE :( :( :( WHEN THIS MISHAP TOOK PLACE !!!

ISSUE

When i start my phone i get the 7 vibrates and the HTC logo white screen after some time it goes grey ... nothing happens after that.

What i have tried so far ...

I can access the HBOOT ... when in HBOOT i connect the phone to my computer, i just get a wndows 7 sound ... when i run the RUU.exe it does not detect the phone gives out a 'USB error'

But when i go into FASTBOOT ... the Android 1.0 driver successfully installed and the RUU detected my phone and prompted instructions to flash the stock ROM when i confirmed all the prompts the phone boots and the RUU.exe update screen says waiting for bootloader ... but by then my phone has gone into the boot loop (7vibrates and HTC white screen ... however it does not turn grey after that, continues to stay on the HTC white screen.) ... i also tried to hold the volume down button when RUU.exe reboots phone and is waiting for bootloader ... the phone luckily booted into the bootloader ... but unfortunately the RUU update windows continues to wait for bootloader ... even though the phone is in the bootloader (possibly bcos my phone was not detected by the computer when in HBOOT mode)

Now i tried the PD98DIAG.zip method by locating the ROM.zip from the above RUU run ...

when i booted into the bootloader it detected the update and listed the various flashes it would perform ... here the bootloader showed a OK status then the radio was flashing said OK and the phone rebooted ... but unfortunately it went back to the HTC logo white screen ... and probably ended at the same place as the RUU.exe ...

tried both the above methods many times but to no avail !

then i tried to flash the PD98IMG.zip to flash the CWM recovery ... it said OK and it flashed successfully but when powered went to the HTC screen ... did a battery pull, booted to the bootloader and selected RECOVERY ... unfortunately it rebooted and ended up at the HTC screen ... :( ... i peeked into the zip file and found the following ID

modelid: PD9812000

cidnum: CWS__001

mainver: 1.80.502.3

is this the correct CWM RECOVERY ID for my HTC DESIRE HD ???

or was it a flash file for the HTC Inspire device ...

Can someone provide me the correct CWM zip for a HTC DESIRE HD ???

A phone running stock GB with SHIP S-OFF and NOT ROOTED YET ... even qualify for CWM recovery flash through the HBOOT BOOTLOADER ??? ... PLEASE GUIDE ME RIGHTLY !!!

In the meanwhile i just downloaded Gizmoe's PD98MG.zip (ROM) update file and will attempt a HBOOT update ...

IS THERE A WAY I CAN TRY FLASHING A ENG-OFF ZIP FROM THE HBOOT ... DOES MY PHONE EVEN QUALIFY FOR SUCH AN ATTEMPT ? so that i can run RUU in fast boot mode ... as that is where my phone is getting detected by the RUU update tool !!!

Hope to find help / assistance on fixing my phone ...

thanks in advance guys,

Ok ... tried Gizmoe's PD98IMG.zip ... it was picked up by the bootloader ... flashed all the 4 components (System, Boot, Radio and the 4th option) but when i powered it on ... its sitting on the HTC white screen for about 15-20 mins now ... intend to keep it at least for an hour ...
