Not to be a jerk, but how do you have 243 posts and not understand the "search" function? There are like 5011 threads about this EXACT subject already. You can either download the 2.1 update file from HTC, or, if you have truly sent your phone back to completely stock, the OTA should show up in a while. You can also "Check for Updates" from the settings menu. That worked for me the last time I took one back to stock.
Settings > About Phone > Check for Updates. That should give you the 2.1 OTA if my understanding is correct that you are on 1.5 stock.
OK update:
OK everything works right up until I try to flash the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I am on a mac and this is how I am trying to execute this command
Open terminal, type /Users/(my name)/android-sdk/tools, enter
then I try the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and I get
-bash: fastboot: command not found
HELP??
Why can't I remove my custom recovery

Boot into fastboot by holding down the red and green buttons first and then do that command. Or not. I don't know.
Check the tools folder to make sure it has fastboot. I know the windows sdk has it but it may be a seperate dl for Mac

if your fastbooting stock recovery on your phone put it in the tools folder of adb
and then fastboot, it will send it to the phone and then flash, hope this helps.
What am I supposed be looking at I used these instructions and I got the error following them

I did that's why I'm confused
Read this post and see if this will help, I believe I used this RUU with driver to unroot my phone.
If I remember correctly it also gives you the s-on bootloader

You can flash roms through fastboot but you can't flash recovery through fastboot? What's the deal with that?

Yeah, I've been trying to find a good explanation for the difference between moto-fastboot and fastboot. What exactly is the difference between the two? Are all of the 'erase' commands just as effective between the two?
Can I just drag my fastboot.exe file into the same one my moto-fastboot and adb ones are, and use it interchangeably or will I need to copy other files as well?
Moto-fastboot and fastboot are basically the same, moto-fastboot allows for bigger file chunks(something like that)and is made for the motorola phones. Just use the same commands as you would for fastboot but use mot-fastboot instead.
Hope this helps.

Thanks.
Out of the two I've only used moto-fastboot to install a deodexed system.img. I've done everything else through CWM. I've noticed the moto version seems to be required with certain type of flashes (i.e. recovery,system).
I had to reflash my first backup yesterday and ended up using moto-fastboot for all the erase commands. I just wanted to make sure I was using the correct program to get the cleanest recovery.

weird, i use normal fastboot and have yet to have a problem flashing any file; recovery and system images included.
Hi I tried to flash recovery with romracer's . I got these instructions:Copy the recovery image to a convenient location on your computer, preferably with a short path. We will be placing it on the C Drive directly (not in any folder) and using that in the next steps.
Note: The recovery image should have .img extension. If it is in a zip file, extract the .img file from it.
But I can't even extract the zip file with the .img file to C because it says Error:internal error processing iso image.
I am a noobie. Could you guys give me a hand??
Thanks!

This is what is did I downloaded automatic bootloader unlock from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871, unzip it, you will find img file named recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029 replace it with romracer recovery you downloaded and rename the romracer recovery as recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029. Just to be safe even replace the recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.4-olympus with rom racer recovery and rename it as recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.4-olympus. Open main and select option 2 and follow the instructions.It worked for me
First of all thanks!
I did what you told me chose option #2 but when I got into the next #5 "now release vol down and press vol down until ...... it showed the exclamation sign with the lil android. Did I do something wrong?

what was the error you got, just to be sure download the romracer recovery again it may be a bad download.You just have to switch off the phone switch off the phone holding volume down until you see fastboot then connect it to pc open main and select option 2. It will ask you to do the stuff i just said, press enter it will show device serial number and then again enter and it will write the recovery image and will ask for reboot, hold the volume down button until it shows fastboot disconnect the cable then keep pressing vol down till you get android recovery press vol up to select and that's it you get the recovery.
Edit: Are you rooted and have an unlocked bootloader.
Just in curiosity ive seen rooting and flashing done on prior devices with terminal emulator right from the device itself!
Anyone think it be possible to apply cwm recovery zip or. Img file from terminal ?
OR root from terminal.. its been done with a few htc devices
Im just wondering if i tried moto- fastboot commands from terminal if it would flash romracers cwm recovery??
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
As long as you have the flash_image binary on your phone you'll be able to flash a recovery image from Terminal Emulator.
Ok so if i have the clockwork zip extracted into sdcard external using androzip which now shows recovery.img 4.7mb file in my download folder Instead of using cmd from windows laptop.
Now does moto-fastboot still apply since id be trying this from the device? Cause when u do it on a computer moto fastboot has to be in same folder as the recovery.img
What would be the proper command prompts to apply in terminal to flash the cwm recovery?
Im not all that good with adb or terminal unless i see command lines in front of me ..In the past i have rooted my old mytouch 4g when i was with tmobile right from terminal..

hey all,
well i unlocked my bootloader okay.. i used the android super toolbox (.bat file) and choose to flash a recovery.img i choose the Amonra option but it installed CWM recovery instead...and now I cannot get Amonra to succussfully flash, so that I can root. Any help?!
Reboot boot loader and use fast boot to flash amon ra. I think its called recovery.img and its in the tools folder of that tool. Put it in the folder you have adb and fasboot and then while in boot loader do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

i did
fastboot flash recovery "nameofrecovery"
i even used the CleanFLASH tool and still no luck
Make sure you're in fast boot mode and you can see in the command prompt it sent it
So go to boot loader then click on fastboot

Make sure you add .img to the end of the recovery file name. I forgot once and got an error.

This is kind of wrong... I'm assuming you've CD (changed directories) to the platform-tools in order to use fastboot. With that being the case, you'll want to specify the "path of the recovery" not the "name of the recovery" + .img of course.

You are placing the recovery image in the same folder correct ? but yes that would be the correct path. I don't know why you would change name as long as you are typing it in correctly.
I always change the name to make it easier to type. Example: cwm-touch.img or recovery.img. I never leave it all crazy like "clockwork-vigor-5.5.1-recovery.img"

I got it! Go to system devices on your PC and make sure you have the drivers installed correctly. This happened to me with my nexus.

I just did it though ubuntu.... god i love linux lol thanks all for ur input
i did notice this on the hboot screen
Open DSP v10.6.0.7611.00.0919
maybe that was there before, but i just noticed it. anything in the name of S-Off!
What is the error you are getting?
The phone is in fastboot, yes? It says "fastboot usb"?
Are you using a folder named "Root" or do you just have your stuff all loose in root? I would keep it in a folder, name it whatever you like, android or something. Put everything you need in there, including the recovery zip file.
Open cmd prompt.
cd c:\android
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
That should do it. I've attached a pic of what I have in my folder which is all you need in there.

Nope, flash through fastboot mode. Copy .img file to fastboot folder and open cmd there, then type : fastboot flash boot boot.img ( boot.img is the name of .img file )
Kernel on the latest CM rom (137) is provided in .zip file. Remember that this kernel (boot.img) is flashed last, after wiping & installing Rom successfully
