I've corrupted my recovery image. I'd be very grateful to anyone who could take a minute to grab the image from their amaze.
Here's the step-by-step on how to do it:
1. Unzip zergRush from the attached zipfile. Place it on your PC
2. Push it to your phone using adb (adb push zergRush /data/local)
3. Adb shell to your phone (adb shell)
4. cd to /data/local (cd /data/local)
4. Run zergRush (./zergRush)
5. It will churn for a bit and then you should have temp root.
6. Adb shell back onto the phone. (adb shell)
7. From the # prompt run (dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 /sdcard/recovery.img)
8. post the recovery image somewhere I can access.
9. receive my gratitude

I guess in theory, if you have root, you could dd it back to the correct partition from the running android os.
Code:
#dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23
Though I haven't tried that. I just used fastboot.

That cannot work. The example you provide has the input file on the PC and the output file is a block device on the phone. The dd command, when run from a PC won't be able to see the output file since it doesn't exist on the PC. Or, if you run dd from the phone it won't be able to see the hboot.img because it's on the PC - not the phone.
For it to work you'd need to first get the hboot.img on the phone somewhere. If you have an sd card you could copy it to /sdcard or you could put it on /data/local.
Then the command would be something like:
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
And, of course for this to work you'd need an unlocked bootloader and a working device that has root. And, even then, I'd guess this would either not work or brick the device. But, if someone's willing to test it then, hey, who am I to say otherwise - go for it!

This procedure applies to both flyers and view
Required downloads
First download the Gingerbread RUU for your device from this thread.
If you don't have adb and fastboot on your PC
Get fastboot and adb tool for windows here
Get Fastboot and adb for linux here
I don't have a simple bundde for Mac, would welcome a link if anyone has one.
Download my universal misc_version and unzip to obtain the misc_version file.
Download tacoroot
Place both the misc_version and tacoroot.bin files in the same directory as adb
Procedure
Check the version number for your gingerbread RUU
In my example I am using this RUU: RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.08 9BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed.exe
The version is the part highlighted in red.
Boot your flyer up to android if it's not already on, with usb debugging enabled and connect it to the PC.
Run the following adb commands
Code:
adb push tacoroot.bin /data/local/
adb push misc_version /data/local/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tacoroot.bin
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --setup
At this point your device will reboot to recovery
Simultaneously press Volume Up, Volume Down and Power
Reboot your device
Run the following command
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --root
Your device will reboot, do not worry if it does not boot fully, it doesn't matter for this procedure, and it is a side effect of this root exploit.
Run the following command:
Code:
adb shell /data/local/misc_version -s [COLOR="Red"]2.00.405.3[/COLOR]
Note that the number in RED is the version number retrieved in step 1.
Reboot to fastboot:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Relock the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Go back to fastboot mode ( lock causes the device to reboot )
Run your RUU ( if on linux or mac, see other similar threads from me on how to RUU on those OSes )
Special Thanks
jcase for the tacoroot.
s*** too late!!!!
Yesterday I unlocked my Tab via HTC Unlock, hopefully I'll never need the warranty ...
But thanks for your detailed and very helpful instructions in this forum, don't know where I would be without you.

I think there is a mistake, it should be:

The typo correction is correct but that it doesn't work is not. I've done this multiple times with both my own and other peoples devices and it works just fine. Make sure you used a gingerbread RUU and the it flashed completely. AND that you not doing this on an S-OFF device.

Thats the fault. My Flyer is S-OFF. Is there a possibility to get back to GB anyway?
Edit: Found a Solution. It cost me the whole day, but now it works.
The bad note: I don't know the Link with the solution. But it was in this Forum.
I got to it by Flashing a 3.2.1 ROM, and after that a 2.3.4 ROM via Goldcard-Method. (Via the SD-Card.)
During the process the Bootloader creates a message, that the installed hboot version isn't downgradeable or something like that. I hacked that into Google and it throws out a Thread in this Forum with the Solution.
Might be a little off topic, but the title:
[Pocedure]No HTC unlock HC-GB downgrade for official HC OTA
"[Pocedure]" is missing a letter r

What you say does not make sense to me. This thread specifically says this is for official HC upgrade which implies you have to be S-ON and locked.

I assume it is for the RUU.. where do I need to copy the RUU file to my SD or to the same folder where ADB is?

The first thing to do is make sure you S-OFF and then the next is to make sure you have the ENG HBOOT. if you dont then your going to want to get that done first.
Proceed if your good to go
ok here is my drop box link beats.img
1. save the beats.img to your work folder where your adb files are.
2. plug your phone into the computer usb
3. next open a command prompt within your platform-tools folder
4. type in this at the prompt:
make sure your see your device ID after typing this command
Code:
adb devices
5. once the device is listed there type this code
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
6. once your at the bootloader type:
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 beats.img
7. once your done type:
Code:

actually, it has an .img extension but your phone will change it to .txt if you download it to your phone.
better plan is to download these straight to your 'puter and the extension will stay correct.

You'll have to flash the boot.img that's located in the zip file that contains the jb rom you flashed.
In order to do that (I'm assuming your s on) you will need a computer with htc drivers installed and the android sdk containing the adb and fastboot executables.
I'd recommend hitting someone up on pm or gtalk to talk you through it.

Here is a link to a post where I attached what you need to use fastboot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515020&postcount=444
Put this folder in your root directory. You can rename it to whatever you want.
You can pull the boot.img from the ROM zip file on your computer and put it into the folder you downloaded from the link above.
Go into CMD on your pc and cd to the folder above.
Then boot your phone into hboot by holding the vol down +power until you see the white screen of hboot. Select "fastboot".
Once you are in fastboot on the phone, connect it to your pc. Use the following command on your pc in the CMD window:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
That will flash the kernel and hopefully solve your problem. Reboot and cross your fingers.
Yea what they^ said. You have to fastboot flash the boot.img

Hey guys, here's the manual for how to get SuperCID WITHOUT S-OFF.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT FOR BEGINNING USERS, YOU WILL CHANGE THE BOOTLOADER WHICH MIGHT BRICK YOUR DEVICE, BE CAREFUL
Thanks to vogonpoetlaureate for finding where the CID is, he's a great guy so go thank him!
Assuming you have ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) installed, open up your command prompt and type this:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p7
Now you have it dumped on your SD-Card
Next, type "exit" and again, "exit".
Type
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk0p7
BE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT SIZE IT IS BEFORE CONTINUING
Open the file with your HEX-Editor, assuming you have one downloaded. I personally use XVI32.
You will see your CID on the fourth line, in my case it's HTC__E11.
Change it to 11111111 and save the file as mmcblk0p7MOD. BE SURE IT'S THE EXACT SAME SIZE AS BEFORE.
When you're back in command prompt, type
Code:
adb push mmcblk0p7MOD /sdcard/mmcblk0p7MOD
Type
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p7MOD of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
Reboot to bootloader, (adb reboot-bootloader) and go into fastboot.
Type
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
It should read 11111111.

So, just in case... restoring old CID = changing value to old CID?
Great job, but I don't think I will need this thing. Nevertheless it's great job done, because AFAIK changing CID will help to get rid of sim lock by such operators as Verizon, Orange, Vodafone. Am I thinking the right way?

Great work! I have contacted the devs of facepalm to get us S-OFF. They were waiting for us to get superCID .

So, just in case... restoring old CID = changing value to old CID?

Yes, keep a backup of the file handy so you can just restore it if you need to.
Please, to all the guys that have made it, can you tell me what kernel and recovery did you have installed?
Because I've tried it again, every single step, and I'm still with my carrier CID: ORANG309.
Thank you very much!

Hello and thank you for the nice info...
I have tried several times on CID HTC__044 and still i'm on the same CID...
is there any comment or solution for this?
anyway thanks a lot...
Edit: Nah that shouldn't matter.
Thanks!
I see "ro" so that's why is not working. It seems strange considering I have flashed neXus V3 kernel which has System Protection Disabled but I've flashed it again and see if I see "rw" instead of "ro".
Thank you again!
EDIT: Tried again with a "fresh" flash of neXus kernel and no way to make it work. I'm getting kind of desperate
I have tried it with system protection off even and still the same...
What I need is just to flash back to the the factory firmware, My phone is Asian (Singapore) and I coudnt find the Asian RUU till now...
I cant flash the European version because of the CID...
I dont know what to do...
So I was trying to run a livecd and s-off my phone so I can get root. I have 2.09 so dirtyracun is the only was I can do this im told. Well the instruchions on there site are very vauge (to me at least). This is my first time ever trying to use ubuntu and I have no idea what im doing. I looked for a video walkthough but I could not find one.
for instance step 4 is
Check what mainver your phone is running
With your phone in Fastboot USB type the following:
sudo ./fastboot getvar mainver
But it does not tell me how to check the mainver? I dont even know what that is let alond how to do it. I need a very very simple complete walk throught, can anyone point me to one?

Once you type that command it should say 3.15.651.16 or 3.16.651.3 in the terminal

It's been a while since i used Ubuntu you have to open a terminal I think it is the top icon on the left side of the screen just type terminal
Oh, I have never used it so I have no idea. I guess I think the instrushions should be super simple. For guys like me lol. So I can flash all this stuff through the terminal?

Ctrl+Alt+T to open up a terminal. Then cd into the folder where all your dirtyracun/babyracun files are. Then run all the commands from there. Most commands require you to be in fastboot on your phone. Babyracun requires you to be in TWRP. And babyracun is only required if you have the 3.16 OTA installed (which is what the first step tells you).
Ok, so I will be trying this tomorrow. I hope I can get throu it. Ill report back.

Are you running the commands from the folder your fastboot file is? If you download dirtyracun, one of the files in there is fastboot, just cd into the folder where you extracted them and run the command from there.
Other than that, make sure your phone says "fastboot usb" when plugged into the computer and in fastboot.

My Evo LTE is the first time I've ever had to use adb or fast boot and install SDK. I did, and I've used fastboot a few times now (not on this device, actually, on a GNex I have to maintain). But I'm really new to ASB, fastboot, and Linux commands. It might be helpful to explain what CD is/means. It would be helpful to me, too.
TIA

Sorry. The command "cd" (change directory) plus the folder or path to where the dirty racun files are. If you don't know the path, you can do
cd ls
to list the directories. If you see the folder you want, like your "dirtyracun" folder (or whatever you called it),
cd dirtyracun
will put you in that folder. This and putting "sudo ./" before every fastboot command is all the linux you need to know to s-off.

Well I cant even get that far, right now eveytime I pkug in my phone I am getting
Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device ubuntu
any help? I need it to recignise my phone first right?
Is your phone in fastboot? I've never seen or heard of that error.
so I need to boot the phone to fastboot first? Ill try this now... Anyone one a "live chat" channle? that might help.
Ok so im in fastboot and im getting this
[email protected]:~# su
[email protected]:~#
[email protected]:~# dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
dd: opening `/sdcard/twrp.img': No such file or directory
Unlimited io is good with help on irc. Post questions here and I could probably answer. Give me your phone info (info on the bootloader) and I could make you an easy/basic list of steps you need to take in order.
What are you currently trying to do?
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img
Did you change the name of the recovery to "twrp.img" before putting it on your internal memory?
How to I access the irc?
I need to s-off and root my phone
s-on
hboot- 2.09
