You can see "RUU" but no recovery and nothing. When I plug usb to pc, I get the black screen with HTC.

Next two pictures show progress when I use the RUU_***.exe file.
RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.153_Radio_11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M_release_281004_signed.exe
MD5sum is ok!
I always get stuck in RUU, pls. anyone help me out here, I do not have any idea.
Maybe I do not have USB-DEBUGGING. ADB cannot find any device!
Can I activate USB-DEBUGGING with fastboot or any other way?

Maybe change ur CID back to what it was before supercid. Then run that ruu. Iv seen @rzr86 tell a few people that and it has worked.

I have s-off. When you are s-off the Cid stuff doesn't have to match right?

Thanks to you! I changed the cid as you said and flushed my extracted zip file "PG58IMG.zip". Still it got stuck exactly at same 1/3 of the progress-bar as always. I am desperate.

Hallo, please someone give me advice. I am still totally stuck in RUU - Mode. Probably I have no USB-DEBUGGING.
I can use only fastboot via PC. I am stuck with 4 triangles black htc screen. Boot Mode is RUU.

did you extract the recovery.img or did you try to flash the zip as it is?
you have to extract the recovery.img from the zip and use only the recovery.img

dididoner · Dec 2, 2014 43 2 0

fastboot accsess only when 4 triangles show up

To explain my functionality of fastboot commands, maybe you should notice this:
When I newly place battery and I plug in the phone via USB Kabel (original htc) I see the black screen with 4 triangles maybe about 5 seconds, then screen turns into that white "hboot-thing" (dont no name for that display).
I can enter fastboot-commands only in these few seconds when I have black screen with 4 triangles. When I miss the moment I have at least to unplug usb for a second and plug in again, so I have "black screen" again for few seconds.

actually rename the recovery.img as recovery
but the command remains the same fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

edit: also unlock the bootloader again
probably the command won't work with locked bootloader
