I have a big problem !!! I had on my phone root s-off ROM Shooter Beats 1,7 and I flashed CWM 4.0.1.-shooteru via fastboot.
BUT when I was in fastboot USB I was thinking that I will try to have root with s-on on the screen on HBOOT. So I used command that I read in unroot section.
fastboot oem fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 and then reboot bootloader and my pfone is off and I cannot turn it on and dont know what to do :-( I am scared
can you access the bootloader? try a battery pull then reinsert and try to access bootloader again
OK heres the issue I used the htc unlock method and htc dumlock and things were fine for months to make a long story short I forgot what recovery I was using and couldn't nandroid so I went to the market and got rom manager out of habit then the next day my phone flipped out and basically bricked I realized I needed TWRP so know I have that but roms will not load they either freeze or just lead to a boot loop and when I try to re-flash the recovery using the HTCdumlock option so it has the recovery on both for the workaround it will just continue to run and never end. Also when I try to nandroid restore now it will say completed in 0 seconds
I am now without a phone and everything altogether I have been here for a while and know if anyone can help me its u guys and gals.
Thanks

Thanks I actualy used fastboot and flashed back to the old twrp recovery and was able to run my nan backups but they run and the phone just goes back to boot looping i have tried everything i can think and its just back and forth from recovery to boot looping for 2 days streaight now. I'll try the recovery you mentioned though thanks I'll let you know if it works but at this point Im starting to think that I somehoe removed my boot partition and im flashing to nothing
I finaly solved this issue and I want to share for those who may have it.
My main problem was that I had an unlocked bootloader I could not use an RUU without an error and everything I did no matter what let to bootloop.
I simply had to relock my bootloader (To re-lock your bootloader, in the command prompt, type: fastboot oem lock.) Then run the RUU. Aparently RUU's will not work on an unlocked bootloader and now after 2 days finaaly everything is all back to normal.

You always have to relock before using a RUU otherwise you will get a error ..
Like the other user said
You can
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and your set Also works to flash a rom and kernel together if your hboot 1.5
Fastboot boot recovery.img wipe and flash.
And twrp has issue's your better off using 4ext for your custom recovery I'm willing to bet thats the cause of the problem

did you get a new token or are you trying an old one? you might need to re submit the token to htcdev and get a new unlock.bin code.
I was in the process of returning my dna to stock so that I could sell it. I performed the OEM lock function which resulted in my bootloader screen looking what what is in the attached picture. After this I attempted multiple, multiple times to install the RUU.exe on my Mac Mini running Windows 7 in bootcamp mode (not virtualization). Each time it popped up an error saying that it couldn't install. At this point, even after flashing the 1.15 hboot I'm still mostly stuck int he bootloader. My operating system no longer boots. I really only have fastboot access and no idea how to get out of this situation.
I've tried to flash a custom recovery so that at least I could flash a rom, but whenever I try to fastboot it over I get an error saying "FAILED <remote: not allowed>". So if I can't flash a recovery ROM, and I can unlock my bootloader again, and I can't boot into a ROM, what can I do. I spent the last 6 hours trying to find an answer and I'm totally out of options now.

You need to unlock again in order to flash back a custom recovery. You also need to have the stock splash screen before you ruu. Had the exact same issue you had. Stock h-boot, stock splash screen and relock and all should be good.
That is my main problem. All of the unlock methods require me to load load an apk to change the CID. I can't do that in fastboot. Is there another unlock method I'm missing that allows you to do it from the fast boot mode?

if u have your original unlock code from htc dev I think u can fastboot flash that code to unlock again. its in the forum somewhere just not sure where it is.
try this thread, good luck

You don't have to run a apk to change the cid just Google change cid commands, you do it through adb change it to 22222222 then redo the HTC dev to get your unlock.bin again if u don't have it.

You device most likely can't downgrade due to having a locked device. Have you tried flashing the 2.07 ruu
Thank you for all of the replies. Actually the change of the CID command might have worked but I didn't see that reply before I had tried another method found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570548.
I was truly stuck in fastboot and couldn't flash a custom recovery at all. Well I used the advice from a previous thread and edited the firmware .zip posted in the first post of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314771. I had initially tried to flash the .zip posted but when I tried to boot into the recovery it wouldn't work. So I opened the .zip file without extracting it and removed the recovery.img from the .zip, I then took the TWRP custom recovery and inserted it into the .zip (if you extract the zip this will not work; you need to use software that can edit a zip without extracting it. On the Mac, which I was using, I used Spring). I renamed the TWRP recovery to "recovery.img" to match what I had previously deleted.
Then I flashed this edited firmware.zip by using the following command in usb fastboot mode (here's the link for my edited file):
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip YOUREDITEDFILE.zip
fastboot reboot
This then allowed me to boot into recovery. I thought I had figured it out and could now sideload a ROM using the "adb sideload" command and flash some type of ROM that would boot. This failed miserably; it would allow me to push the file, but the install would always fail before it completed.
So then I found this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570548. I first flashed the two .zip files that were posted in post #44. then I flashed the full RUU posted in post #1. This gave me a bootable stock ROM. Praise God!!!
Finally I went back to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919, and flashed the following code.
Code:
adb devices (your device should be listed)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices (your device should be listed)
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
*verify you are locked s-on
fastboot reboot
Not sure why I had such a terrible time, but I'm glad its over and the DNA is finally sold. Thank you for all your help!
trying to restore my dna back to stock
I got my dna locked again and now I am running the ruu file and i am stuck at 6%. Can someone help please!! Tried it by double clicking the ruu file and running it like that, and i also ran it in administration and both ways i am stuck at 6%
I used the RUU to revert completely to stock a couple of weeks ago which reverted my rumrunner unlock and S-OFF to re-locked and S-ON status. Today I tried to gain S-OFF and unlocked so I could flash one of the new sense 6 roms, but I cannot get it to work. I used rumrunner to do it but rumrunner only S-OFF my device. My HBOOT still says relocked. Fastboot is not allowing me to flash a new recovery so I can gain root and I get an error when I try to fastboot oem unlock.
When I flash recovery I get "FAILED <remote: not allowed>" error.
When I try to fastboot oem unlock I get "<bootloader> [ERR] Command error !!!"
If anyone has any solutions to this it would be greatly appreciated.

The solution to this problem can be found here, just install ROM Manager and flash CWR from there. Fastboot commands still don't work however.
