HAHA Wish i never found this sooner
Yes, flash the stock recovery, lock the bootloader and flash a RUU.
Great so there's always a way back. Nice, that makes it easier. And locking the bootloader goes via HTCdev again?
its universal. there is no difference between the US and EU handsets, except the radio.
Does that remove tampered as well

I got this phone a few days ago. Got it all set up just how I like it and wanted to unlock it. Now I see that it will wipe it. Is there anyway to Nandroid backup or other back up before unlocking it? Thanks in advance.
new-host-3:~ skygear$ fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
error: cannot load 'Unlock_code.bin'

Where am I to place my Unlock_code.bin?
I put it in the platform_tools folder where my fast boot is...
Do I need to CD to that folder?

what exactly are you typing at command prompt
you need to have usb debugging checked on phone
you need the recovery image in same folder as your fastboot.exe/adb files
you need to cd to that directory/folder
you need the recovery image in that same folder
you need to be booted into bootloader with fastboot highlighted
and phone plugged into pc
you have to type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
where recovery.img is the exact name of the recovery image image you put in the folder where fastboot/adb is--usually tools or platform tools of your sdk
you can check the exact name by right clicking the recovery image in the folder and going to properties. I usually just copy and paste that into the command line
hm.. first time unlocking, rooting etc using a mac and well, it could be going smoother.
Anyways.
Ive unlocked the bootloader but when i try to flash the cwm recovery I'm getting the message;
unknown partition 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-ville.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-ville.img'
What am i doing wrong? The file is in the same folder as fastboot.exe and I've tried renaming it to a shorter filename (thinking I were typing it wrong).
Ive tried both versions of cwm with the same result.
Im using this command;
./fastboot flash XXXXXXX.img
fastboot flash [B]recovery[/B] recovery.img
