5. Run RUU and wait to appear Android rom update utility screen.
6. Go to Temp directory on C drive on your computer and find folder that RUU extracted in it.

Can't find the file in step 6?

I tried also this, since the V2 report a virus in the zip.

But when I execute the first command I receive back this:

Code: 
adb push flash_image /sdcard/flash_image 
1584 KB/s (0 bytes in 76044.000s)

Is normal? why do this?

Issue with DOWNGRADER

" You must wait about one minute before continuing.
Press any key to continue...

* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
Testing access: FAILED - please exit and try again. "


What should I do now, should I try with the alternative tutorial ?

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

After entering the code at step 11 it shows up:

" The system cannot find message text for message number 0x3 in the message file for System. "


Also, can't continue with the other steps without makin this one. HELP!

I'm trying to run this tutorial so I can downgrade hboot and then run revolutionary for root/s-off. I get stuck at step 11. Says "The system cannot find the path specified." Anyone got any idea how I could get past this?

Many thanks for such detailed tutorial, but I am having problems.
First of all when I click on the RUU link I am presented with a download that doesn't work and just cycles through a bunch of adverts. Fair enough, I managed to get to the real link anyway, but the file is not an RUU.EXE but it is HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade.zip. Using this file I cannot find which rom version it is and cannot therefore patch it with the correct version in step 17, but I never got to that point.
I created apparently successfully a goldcard and used it for the rest of the procedure, hope this is ok. Steps 7 to 10 seemed to be successful also although the output was not quite like on your tutorial. I got
$ chmod 755 /data/local/zergRush
chmod 755 /data/local/zergRush
$ /data/local/zergRush
/data/local/zergRush

The trouble started with step 11. The phone did not restart as root by itself. So I switched it off and pressed volume down and power to force it into root. Then I typed the command. This didn't work as cat is not a DOS command nor was it in the unzipped directory.
What is this cat command? How am I supposed to use it? I AM STUCK, HELP PLEASE.

Why don't you extract the zip and check if there is an ruu inside it then run it to update to gb and it should change hboot?

    Why don't you extract the zip and check if there is an ruu inside it then run it to update to gb and it should change hboot?
