OK well, i did the ENG S-OFF and it didn't seem to change things, here's what i did do thou, i switched the CWM recovery from the 2.x.x.x to 3.0.0.6 and it seems to be working! i got into CWM, trying to install the AR2.1 ROM, appears to be working
What should i do if while downloading, it says bootloader corrupt?

FAQ:
Again, it's recommended that you flash radio 26.04.02.17_M2 (Orange ES 1.75.75.2 / HTC WWE 1.72.405.3) or radio_26.06.03.24_M2 (TELUS WWE 1.84.661.1) or Radio 26.05.05.27_M3 - (Orange UK 1.84.61.2)
How do I flash a new radio?
In order to flash other radios you need to have ENG S-OFF. Once your device has that read this thread to learn how to flash a radio.img
How to get ENG S-OFF:
Download the attached "easy S-OFF.zip" at the botton of this FAQ.
Extract to a folder of your choice.
Connect your phone to a computer (make sure you have USB Debugging enabled. Connect charge only!)
Open my "Desire HD easy s-off.exe", click "S-OFF it"! Allow possible SuperUser request on your phone.
There could be force closes after the process, just reboot and everything will be fine.
Done. (in bootloader it should now show ENG S-OFF)"

Hey guys I'm experiencing some problems with running the S off tool. I would check s off then click do it. It would say syncing and that's it. I also would try to keep my phone awake just in case there was a superusers prompt on my phone but it would just lock up and I would have to do a battery pull in order to reboot.
Very nice discovery, I will in cooperate this into the next version of my program. Thanks a ton.
I believe (if I'm not mistaken) that ENG S-OFF is the Engineering bootloader... it's not the best way to S-Off, because it puts the Engineer's Test HBOOT onto your phone, which causes some problems for other things. Also, to get back to complete stock, you'll now need to flash a stock HBOOT as well, if I remember correctly.
