[Q] HELP! Can't get to bootloader (S-on) - HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I installed Munjeni's special hboot partition (to increase usable space) and wanted to update the phone back to stock (to take back to att).
The RUU utility failed with code of 152.
The partition failed.
Now the phone is "stuck" at the black HTC screen with four warning triangles in each corner.
Any ideas?
I can fastboot and issue some commands...
I am s-on, hboot 1.02.
Thanks in advance!

If the bootloader is accessible, you can try grabbing the rom.zip out of the RUU (run it & let it load, then search in Windows' temporary folder for "rom.zip". If not there's probably a download somewhere), and rename it to "LIBEIMG.zip" on the root of the SD card.
Then boot into the bootloader (vol down) and it should pick it up and start flashing (might be a confirmation before it does)
Edit: Well I looked at the title again... does this mean its not accessible?
It should be if fastboot is, but I've never had the bad triangles so not completely sure..
If not, alternate option that may work: extract the hboot image from rom.zip and flash it with fastboot (if its allowed)

Thank you for the link. I'm downloading it now.
I can fastboot, but I'm S-on (from one of my flashes).
What's the fastboot command for flashing the hboot? Will this even let me?
I'll give this a try. Thanks again!
When I try to fastboot flash a recovery, here's what I get:
C:\Mobile\Android\Fastboot and ADB Tool>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (3716 KB)... OKAY [ 0.875s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.578s

For hboot - does anyone have an idea which hboot I can try flashing?

I'll try the hboot image and see what happens.
What's the fastboot command?
I tried:
fastboot flash hboot
and
fastboot flash boot
Both gave me an invalid signature:
C:\>fastboot flash hboot hboot_liberty_7227_1.02.0000_101104.nb0
