Before running ruu u should boot into fastboot and make u see fastboot usb then start ruu, the error is because ur device can't boot into bootloader to finish with ruu

I just spent 20 minutes freaking out. I kept getting the 158 error over and over. I fastboot flashed the locked bootloader file and it said RELOCKED, but still errored out.

I was on the ENG hboot at the time and fastboot flashed the vanilla 3.06 hboot and this time the RUU went through.

Hopefully this will help somebody else out.

How can I do this if phone was fully stock before recieving an OTA via Verizon and now wont get past white HTC screen?

I am s-on...I cant flash anything...and RUU keeps failing.

By above post i could understand that your phone is S-On and LOCKED.
If that was the case, How your phone got updated to boot 1.57.0000?
Have you flashed anything (firmware) in fastboot mode?
If yes, You have very less chance to get the phone working unless its JTAGed.

First of all thank you for your reply...

This phone was all stock when I received it in this state...never been rooted ...unlocked or anything....

All I know is that after accepting an OTA update from vzw the phone never booted up fully again...

Now I did try the flashing instructions from .torrented but everything I do fails...

I get "remote 22 loading zip info fail"...

I also get " remote 12 signature verify fail"....
