I unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM recovery, took a backup.
Factory reset, wiped cache, dalvik cache and then installed CM10 build#3 from here. I had extracted the boot.img so I did flash the boot using fastboot but it says
sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (0 KB)...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.000s
Next, when I boot the device normally, it gets stuck on the white screen with HTC displayed on it.
So I went back into recovery, wiped everything again and installed the ROM again. This was repeated a few times, but to no avail.
I use only Linux on my laptop, not Windows so HTC Sync and stuffs strictly related to Windows do not apply. Now, I have these options:
1. Either I restore my phone to the saved backup successfully, but CWM won't let me do it. It exits with the common MD5 mismatch. And I don't have an SD card reader. So is it possible to boot my phone via fastboot and mount the SD card somehow and access the backup file so that I can generate the md5 again?
2. Or, next option that I have is to download a ROM which is *working* taking the help of a friend using his SD card(which might delay the process) and install that new ROM on my phone. In that case, please direct me to some such ROMs and the exact way to flash if I did it wrong.
I'd prefer Option 1, so please provide some help for the same.
UPDATE: Generated md5 and restored.
UPDATE #2: Unable to flash boot875.img NOPE kernel after installing CM10 again. Did a full wipe, and installed CM build#3 again and tried flashing boot875.img via fastboot and it doesn't say anything in the terminal.
