I managed to unlock root and install TWRP recovery.
Before and after flashing the ROM i even tried to flash the boot.img file by "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
No matter what ALL ROMS hang at the splash screen.
These are the ROMS i tried:
Viper - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1868236
Clean ROM -
Android Revolution

My guess is that your hboot is so low that it won't update via that way. Try this....

Relock the bootloader :

Fastboot oem lock

Then execute this ruu with admin rights

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo..._Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251281_signed.exe

Once that one is done you install this one

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260743_signed.exe

Then this one

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed.exe

And last but least this one

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe

After the last one you let the phone search for manual ota updates, do that multiple times until you are sure there aren't any left !

Ow and btw....a firmware is not flashed via the sdcard of the phone. But from the pc to the phone in fastboot mode.

Crap that is a ton of steps!
Thanks Mr Hofs will try out tonite and keep you posted.

The reason why i never bothered to do this is because the phone did pretty well for the last few years with the ROM that it came with, its just lately with all the higher requirements of softwares its about time that I cleaned it up. Din know I joined the dinosaurs!

Fastboot oem lock
Outcome - worked

The following were Run as Administator
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownloa...281_signed.exe
Nothing happened, no screen or anything else came up

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownloa...743_signed.exe
Stopped with and exit error code 800700002

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownloa...245_signed.exe
Nothing happened, no screen or anything else came up

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownloa...434_signed.exe
A proper installation screen came up and pushed a file and did some installation but the end result said something like "Unable to update ROM"

I think there is still something missing or fishy.

In fastboot mode run the command - fastboot oem rebootRUU

You'll see a black screen with HTC logo.
After this, run the RUU

That's not how you run a ruu ! A ruu is with the phone in the bootloader (with a relocked or locked bootloader) then right click the ruu.exe and select run as administrator. The problem could be the low hboot. It might not be able to update the hboot with big steps like these !

A firmware flash might solve that (and that's where you need that particular command)

Fastboot commands are executed from the pc to the phone in bootloader mode !

And watch the capital letters they are important too

And where does it say the command OEM REBOOT ? In the guide i linked with the firmwares there is no such command mentioned at all

I did run it from my PC in bootloader mode and it was in lower case.

For this set of instructions can you please explain or lead me to a thread for the following areas:

Download this ota http://androidruu.com/getdownload.ph...rxt8n4m2hf.zip
OK Understand

Take out the firmware.zip and follow the procedures in the thread i linked.
OK Understand but which thread?

After that you try the 2.17.707 or the 3.14.707 ruu again.
Previously posted links did not contain these two numbers, so possible to pls post the link.

Sorry for the trouble. Just want to make sure I am taking all precautions and doing things right so as to not brick my phone.

These are the commands ! The firmware zip is in the OTA file....and the 2 ruu's are linked a page back. The one starting with 2.17.707 and 3.14.707 check those links. They are direct download links, can't mis them !!!

Previous posts did not contain these numbers ? What are the bottom 2 ruu.exe files then ?

How did you take the firmware zip out of the ota ? I always use 7zip to open the archive and drag the firmware zip out.

Worst case scenario is that your hboot is to low .... maybe and even older ruu might work. Or look for another older ota and take the firmware zip out of that.

    How are you charging ? Hopefully via the fastboot battery script, or with the phone off. Other charge methods don't work with a relocked bootloader. Yeah only via a custom recovery that supports it !

    Keep trying to get it to 3600-3700 and unlock the bootloader and flash this recovery

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img

    After that you enter it and put the phone on charge. It charges inside the recovery. Then we can try some more things.

    Hi .....yeah barely alive :) I'm back from the dead !

    But yes you need to put the phone in fastboot mode and only relock the bootloader. Do not execute the FASTBOOT REBOOT RUU command. Not needed for installing a ruu.

    Put the phone with the relocked bootloader in the fastboot mode and execute the ruu's with administrator rights !

    No no need for a firmware flash if you go for the ruu's

    Oke then go for the firmware !
