thank you very much your method worked. now do i continue to upgrade the hboot in the normal way or ??

if you s-off your device, now you need to flash 3.33 universal firmware , here is a guide from that http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 read the steps carefull and check md5 sum important , after that you'll need to flash recovery 4ext 1.0.0.6 RC1 via fastboot.. and after that you'll be able to flash custom roms :)

(btw do you have fastboot and adb files)?


EDIT1: if you have adb and fastboot here is the recovery you need to flash https://www.dropbox.com/s/1a2o89surz0h7hj/4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.6_RC1.zip this is the lattest and here is guide how to flash it after upgrading you firmware , just step 2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 and you are done after that choose what rom you want transfer to you sd card , before flashing format all paticion except sd card and flash the rom you want :)

you have bootloop because your rom is gingerbread and now you have ics firmware
just flash an ics or jb rom from recovery
make a nandroid first just in case
by the way what firmware did you use because i see you have the official hboot version
did you use the one from the link that Mile_zdr provided you?

i got the hboot from htc.vi8.info and i just tried flashing viper s 5.1.0 but it just got stuck in the middle. what about the locked bootloader which is refusing to unlock

since you are on S-OFF you don't need to unlock the bootloader
but if you flash the 3.33 universal firmware that Mile_zdr told you you will have also a patched hboot which is unlocked:)
follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)

what recovery do you have?
