Guys please help me, it's important!

more details:
i've started with the stock 2.1 and rooted with universal androot and flashed SFM 3.0 with AmonRA recovery.
now if i try open the recovery it's stuck on the bootlogo. i tried with fastboot, adb, the official RUU but it says that my phone's firmware is wrong.

update: now doesn't stuck on the boot logo, but it boots normally without a recovery.
it's rooted on the SFM 3.0 rom and give the "flash_image not found" error

first things first. i have no idea how to get back to stock using the official RUU

however i do have a few alternatives you could try just in case you don't find the answer your looking for

now you say you flashed sfm 3.0. a similar rom to this would be Wildheroc ROSE V5. its exactly the same as sfm 3.0 but its more stable. it can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316886 also you could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24343144&postcount=500 which is a themed version of ROSE V5 created by slobo2712.

if your looking for a stock rom then i highly recomend Heroine ++ which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295991 this rom is seriously fast. its basically the same as stock with a few minor adjustments here and there

there are other roms which remove sense from your phone that i could recommend but if your looking to keep sense on your phone then those two roms are the ones I'd highly recommend

i know this doesn't exactly answer your question of how to flash the official RUU from HTC but as i said previously in the post i simply don't know. these are just a few options you could try if you don't find your answer.

if i can't access the recovery how can flash another rom??

Ahhh ok must have missed that bit

Can you still use the phone normally???? If so maybe try installing Rom manager from the market and then flashing the recovery from there

Could be worth a try

i managed it with an official RUU, don't remember wich. now i've another problem. from 2.1 stock i've flashed Elelinux gingerbread ROM, but 3D games like dead runner wich worked on stock rom on this one don't work. maybe the kernel? i still have the stock one.

Do you DEFINITELY still have the stock kernal? The reason I ask is because Elelinux roms usually come with flykernal13.

Sometimes re flashing a rom can solve issues. So I'd say go into your recovery and wipe data 2 or 3 times just to make sure because 1 wipe sometimes doesn't get rid of everything. Then wipe cache and dalvik cache and then re flash the rom

If that doesn't work then you could try flashing the Las Venturas kernal but I'd doubt it would be a kernal problem

You're wright it isn't a kernel problem but i did all kind Of wipes but 3D games and applications don't work

Hmmm if they worked on stock then I'd expect a newer version of Android to be ok as well . I'm not a big gamer on my phone so can't say I've ever experienced these problems

What games and applications don't work? And do they not work completely? Or just not as good as on stock?

Dead runner, cut The rope, fruit slice and The screen off animation is too slow

I always turn off the screen off animation, I find it annoying personally

I'll try those games on my phone. I'm using a sense rom so I'll see if they work on this

EDIT: couldn't try dead runner or cut the rope because there paid apps but fruit slice worked fine

Fine but The screen off animation works good for you? Anyway i meant on gingerbread roms not on sense roms

The sense rom I was using is a gingerbread rom. Anyway I switched to elelinux to see if maybe it was the rom causing problems but fruit slice was perfect on my phone

good, then the crt animation works fast for you right?
last things, for custom kernels, i have to unlock bootloader like on my X8?
and for all of you, wich is the best hero's ROM?

I've never touched the bootloader so I'm afraid I can't really answer that question

As for best Rom. There isn't really an overall best rom. It all just comes down to personal preference and what your looking for in a Rom but there are roms that are a step ahead in each android version.

If stock 2.1 is what your looking for then you can't beat heroine ++ if you want sense or you could try VE 6.2 if you want AOSP

As for 2.2 froyo you could try FloYo. I used it once and it seemed ok

And as for 2.3 gingerbread. If your after a 2.3 sense Rom then wildheroc is by far the best one around at the moment. As for 2.3 AOSP roms I'd highly recommend decked_x or any of the elelinux roms or even the two latest cyanogenmod nightlies

As for 2.2 froyo vanilla eclair seems to be a popular one

Just gotta correct you, VE is 2.1 Eclair that's why it's soooooo smooth xD
