Just for that............no answer!
For those all so senisitive plenty of respect for my mom its my noobisim not hers help is much is much appreciated
Do you have ADB installed? Try installing ADB then unzipping the fastboot package into that folder. There are really good directions on xda, or google.
But if you get to the point where you fastboot oem unlock. There should be the unique id number there that you use to unlock...
Also try to reflash the pudding and the fastboot oem unlock command.

What happens when you try?
Tried all that but unzipping to adb folder only to desktop will try that tomorrow morn when I get home from work and will repost thanks for the reply
I got all the way to the warranty warning screen entered the id but must of entered.it incorrectly it unlock aborting tried again with redoing reflash all over again and problem is when entering.the first command in adb shell it says wrong path specified that's where im stuck now
What I did was extract these files to : c:\atrix
pudding_183.sbf
adb
adbwinapi.dll
adbwinusbapi.dll
fastboot
IHOP_bell.sbf
moto-fastboot
recovery
I'm not sure if I needed every file but I got done by changing my directory to
cd c:\atrix
then fastboot oem unlock
wrote down the code
then fastboot oem unlock (your # here)
fastboot reboot
Make sure you enter it exactly as it shows on the screen, and yes that does include capitol letters.
That's the only tip I can think of.

I could be mis-reading this so if I am I apologize however it seems that you are using the wrong program you need to use the fastboot exe not adb which would be the reason for getting the error messages. (if that is the case)
Prolly not your case, but I extracted the files to a folder so when I typed in their destination, the powers that be couldn't see them where I told them to look...

Hi I need some serious help here. I upgraded my evo view that i bought used to Honeycomb. Thinking it would be better. Found out that it absolutely sucks! I am trying to roll back to GB. I already unlocked it by using the HTC DEV Unlock tool successfully. Instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414137 says to flash a img. But it does not give me instructions on how to flash? Im pretty new and Ive scoured the web and have found instructions on flashing other htc phones but havent had any luck in finding one for the view. Can someone help? Please Thanks!!

anyone????
You're trying to do step 4, flashing recovery thru fastboot, right?
Haven't used fastboot in a while, and not at my home computer (where I have it setup for fastboot already). But from what I can remember:
1) You need the fastboot tool/drivers. The one here should work (under "Required downloads"): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428104
I can't look at that download right now (my work internet is blocking that download site). But if its a zip, you need to unzip the contents.
2) Place the fastboot files in their own folder someplace. I usually just make a new folder in the C:\ drive parent directory for easy navigating in the next step.
3) Place the recovery image you want to flash in the same folder as the fastboot files.
4) Connect your View to the PC using USB. Reboot the View into bootloader. Select "fastboot" in the bootloader screen.
5) Open command prompt (On Windows: Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt). Change directory to the folder where you put the fastboot files.
6) Type the command into the command prompt as given in the guide you linked: fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-express-HC.img
sorry but ive been trying t unlock and root my rezound for months and no i know i have a great quide on phandroid but i cant get unlocking to work. i type the adb devices command and my phone shows up but then when i type"fastboot devices" my phone wont be recognized by my computer can someone help me asap. i have a windows 8 64bit laptop
I have unlocked on windows 8 64bit before. Same way as any other Windows. Go into your device manager and see if your phone is an unconfigured device and make sure adb on phone is turned on.

How do i do that and im new so i dont really understand alot but itrecognizes it when i do "adb devices" but not "fastboot devices"
Can you give me a link to how you unlocked and rooted your rezound please? up to date
I would start here:

That'll give you an overview of what you will need to do to get a custom ROM on there. Also, there's a folder attached there that has what you need to use fastboot.
If you don't have your unlock token from HTC yet, go here:
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Here's a guide to unlocking:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416109&highlight=unlock
There's a link to "One Click Root" at the bottom but I don't know if that's current. I've never used it. You can just flash Amon Ra after unlocking. Get it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339679
Just download v3.16. Don't worry about the attached files. Just grab it from the v3.16 link right above the attachments. Put that in the same folder you're using for flashing and type this:
fastboot flash recovery {nameofrecovery}
Then navigate in there to developer section and root.
Then make a nandroid immediately and append it with "_stock" so you always have it to go back to.
Now you are ready to flash a custom ROM.
Since you are s-on you will need to flash the kernel from the ROM after you flash the ROM. Some ROMs create one on your sd card in which case you will probably end up at the bootloader with it asking if you want to update, say yes. If not, you need to pull it from the ROM, put it in the "android" folder and flash in fastboot. I would pull it out ahead of time in case so you're ready.
fastboot flash boot boot.img (or whatever the name of the kernel is)
..In the past 24 hours I've done a lot to this phone, some good, some bad, some mix guidance that caused my own user error.
I have CWM Recovery 6.0.3.2 on my screen. I was trying to install SkyDragon's 11.1, BUT I did not copy files to the SD card. I forgot, I was not paying attention, I don't know... but I didn't realize thi was an issue until I could not load the files from the CWM menu. so my current setup right now is...
HTC One DEVELOPERS EDITION!
I have CWM on my device. (so I have wiped EVERYTHING)
Sky Dragon attempted and went though all steps.
I can use command prompt to communicate to device SOMETIMES but can't "push the files" through. but I can communite to device (it's detected which mean adb is working)
I can't turn on phone.
Fastboot is accessable.
I have done the HTC developers website
These guides are not working for me so I thought it couldn't hurt to ask... Let e know what else I need to share...
UPDATE: when I attempted to run Dev RUU, it says it will upgrade this version. Image Version L: 1.29.1540.17
to 1.29.1540.16
was downloading brightstar for 3.22.1540.1 and still same.

Hello fellow Android users,
I am here to ask for your help.
Just to be clear, my phone is an HTC Desire 601 locked with FIDO, use to have Android 4.4.2, Zara_UL, Unlocked bootloader, S-ON and no OS installed.
My HTC Desire 601 has had a rough week.
Everything went well for unlocking the bootloader, rooting, installing new recovery.
Then I wanted to go S-OFF, but Firewater told me the current kernel was blocking the exploit.
So I decided to flash KofilaKernel for my device and try again. The install went well,
only problem was I wiped my cache and system and now, NO MORE OS INSTALLED and still S-ON.
Couldn't use Firewater anymore...
So I tried installing custom ROM and also tried going back to stock, miserably failing.
A. I tried flashing InsertCoin custom ROM wich failed because of S-ON (forgive noobishness)
B. I tried using "fastboot boot" command that made possible flashing custom ROM with S-ON.
I was counting on this one, but had problems too : Most recoveries wouldn't boot (ClockWorkMod several versions, TWRP several versions) except one TWRP recovery wich booted, but the touch screen WAS NOT ACTIVATED. Tried using side buttons with no luck, and power button just locked the screen. I have heard that Google has changed the fastboot boot for newer android versions and that you had to add something to the command like :
"fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot recovery.img"
This example is for Nexus 4 I think, but I don't know the one for Desire 601... I tried it and it wouldn't boot.
C. I have tried "fastboot flash system system.img" with stock image. Had an error saying not enough memory available.
I wiped everything with TWRP and with CLCKWRKMOD : System, cache, dalvik cache, etc... tried again to flash system with no luck.
D. I have tried the Telus RUU.exe file. Told me I had the wrong RUU for my phone and to find the right one, wich doesn't exist for Android 4.4.2 as far as I know.
E. I have tried flashing several versions of 4EXT recovery to get SmartFlash, but it is not compatible with HTC Desire 601.
There I am.
Please help a brother with unusable new phone LOL.
Thanks a bunch for any help.

I'd just reinstall a rom based off of your current firmware and then you need to copy the boot.img out of it and flash in bootloader. The command you'll want to use is:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Be cautious trying to run KK roms on JB firmware as you'll have issues with the radio and touch, bare minimum. Only ways to update firmware are via being S-Off and doing a firmware update of just the essentials or find a KK RUU for your phone, if it is available.

So a ROM based on my current firware wouldn't need S-OFF to be installed ? Can I install stock ROM via recovery even if S-ON ?
Do you know where I could find such thing ?
Many thanks.

Correct, you can install a rom while S-On, as long as you install the boot.img separately. You can install a rom based off of stock, but you won't be able to do the official RUU type rom from it unless there is an RUU zip for your phone (some HTCs have this, but most are just via an exe of a PC) but that would actually go through the bootloader instead of recovery.

Ok great !
So I have access to a stock ROM apparently. I can't post links yet, but if you look up on Google "htcdesire 601 stock rom" you will find a google docs page with the stock ROM for desire 601 4.4.2.
Would you be king enough to walk me through the steps to achieve this ? There are many .img files in this folder and I am far from an expert.
Thanks again.
black-venomzz
I did :
1. Copy whole .zip file on sd card found when searched "htc desire 601 stock rom" on google in google docs pasge (can't post link yet).
2. Install .zip with TWRP.
- Failed (still bootloop) -
The tried :
1. fastboot flash boot boot.img (boot.img was found in the .zip file)
2. Copy whole .zip file on sd card
3. Install .zip with TWRP
- Failed (still bootloop) -
I'm probably missing something here...
You might not have the correct zip for your variant of 610. They make a few and could depend on the carrier as well. Should also factory reset in TWRP.

Couldn't find that page, even after taking out the asteriks. But you'll need to boot to the bootloader and run this command:
fastboot getvar all
to find out your exact model/region/carrier/etc.

Ok, I think we might be on the right track now...
According to the read out from getvar, you were on 4.2.2. It's also listed as a Rogers phone (I'm assuming there's a direct connection between Fido and Rogers, though being an American, I'm not 100% up to date with Canadian carriers...) so I found the RUU for 4.2.2 (system 1.10.631.8 which you can see in the getvar list) http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads/P510 (it won't let me do a direct link for some reason) and pick the Rogers one for 1.10.631.8
This should get you back up and running.
Make sure to relock the bootloader before you run it or it'll fail. You can re-unlock afterwards. Should be able to do "fastboot oem lock" then when ready to unlock again then "fastboot oem unlock" should work since you've already used the bootloader key.

Your a life saver thanks !
I'll make sure to relock.
The only thing is I have no clue how to use this RUU. It's not like a ".exe" that you execute.
The .zip file contains a .tar.gz file, wich contains another .tar file, wich contains binaries I believe.
The readme.txt file talks about using Linux commands but I'm far from an expert.
I'll do a little research on my own since you helped me a lot already, but if you have any tips feel free to share !
Thanks again,

BTW for information purposes,
Fido is indeed a subsidiary brand of Rogers.

Ah shoot, I didn't realize it at the time, but that's like the source code, as in, if you wanted to compile a rom for your phone. That actually isn't what we need. :/ I'll have to keep looking...

****e. How do people build RUU.exe in the first place ? Can't we build one with these binary files ?
Edit : Did some reading and found out only vendors can make RUU's.
Tried this, found on another thread.
"The RUU is your normal, executable program and does everything for you. The ZIP is an RUU but you have to set the phone up to flash it by using fastboot commands. the process is:
1. Connect phone in fastboot mode
2. Run the command 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'
3. Once the phone is at the HTC screen, you run the command 'fastboot flash zip name_of_zip.zip'
4. It will flash the first part and then give an error and you run the same command as above a second time straight away
5. Once the second flash sequence has finished, you the type 'fastboot reboot' and it will reboot the phone and finish the installation"
It failed, but I didn't relock bootloader yet. Will try that now.
Edit : Also failed with relocked bootloader.
Fastboot error message was :
"(bootloader) signature checking
FAILED (remote : 12 signature verify fail)"

You can flash RUUs like that, but that zip does not house the files you would need. RUUs have to be signed with HTC's special key or it won't work. That's why it was only a 99MB file...

Thanks for looking around. Unfortunately the RUU failed (see picture).
I think my phone was updated with Android 4.4.2 when I bought it (recently) so it might be what's causing the error.
I wanted to try with a Telus RUU for 4.4.2 but it's not there..........
I'm starting to lose hope here.
