1. plug the phone in fastboot, you should see fastboot usb in red.
2. Open a cmd as admin or terminal as root in the pc
3. type: fastboot oem rebootRUU (you will get a black splash with silver htc)
4. fastboot flash zip "nameoffile.zip" (no quation marks)
5. Once it is done (it says OKAY. finished in the CMD session)
6. fastboot reboot

Make sure that u are in the same folder (in CMD) where the zip file is...This will only be feasible for a RUU...not a rom. It also works for radios and CWM recovery....:good:

It shouldn´t take that long. Make sure that you are using the oem cable. That USB ports are working fine and there´s no other stuff connected to your USB ports.

Many thanks!

I too had this boot problem on a bad flash through the Hack Kit
(my fault by the way). From power on it took 20 mins to get to the first white HTC screen . Then a further 10 mins to start normal boot.

Apart from the LONG boot, everything worked perfectly. Using TermEm I could boot into bootloader and recovery. The rom, IceColdSandwich worked perfectly in every respect but the corrupted boot was doing my head in.

Using your tutorial, I managed to flash the correct bootloader and now all is good.

hboot before was 0.85.2007
hboot after is 0.85.0024

Sorry if this is a long post but I think it is worth it. Here is a log of the fastboot process:

I have to say that the timings, because of the LONG boot, are completely wrong, . I was tempted to pull the plug on a number of occasions but I gave myself a talking to and went for a coffee.

The whole process took about 2 hours and I am now the delighted owner of a normal booting DHD.

To anyone who wants to attempt this procedure, the watchword is patience. Whenever you think nothing is happening, DO NOTHING!
The different stages will eventually happen just as laid out as per Glevitan. Good luck with your attempt.

Once again, many thanks.

Edit: Just an afterthought, at one stage Windows had a failed attempt at installing usb drivers that ended up as an 'Unknown Device'. Just ignore it and keep going.

Edit: I just tried again and it worked, nevermind!

Just fyi: if you get an error after flashing the ZIP, just flash it again.
