this is a guide among many ones , it's possible that somethings are mess .
if so please correct it by comments below , just that could help us to help others . every guide's first goal is to bring help , making things easy for people . this guide intended to explain how to Update or unbricked HTC android phone generally .
nothing mentioned there is new , I just brought the informations that people don't have , or no have time to search or maybe didn't find even in their research . let's go to essential :

Essential in Flashing a new Rom in HTC is that :


1 : an area where to get a Rom for Phone ( RUU )

a ) stock rom or Customized rom ?
it depend to what you need . but stock is always better for daily user .

b ) Official site to get latest Htc rom is You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.
but alot of site also give such as You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. etc...

2 : Bypass Htc rom signature verification ( CID häçking ) S-on

each HTC phone belong to a region , and each region has it Rom .
HTC's not allowed to install RUU_Desire_EU in a DESIRE coming from USA .
unless the secuirity is tampered , luck some developers working for that .

to see phone Secuirity State it has to put in fastboot mode .

a ) S-ON meaning phone Secuirity is activated , so it can't be flashed with other region than it .
to allow other region rom phone has to S-OFF . every phone has it particular Method and tool.
but be quiet you could find phone S-off method on plenty of sites or on the tools developers website .
S-OFF process is also dangerous , you could brick you HTC so be wise when you are doing . read alot and search before .
S-OFF = Secuirity off , anythings can flashed

b ) what to do if S-OFF is not yet discovered by developers ?
it's is often common and sade that some htc S-OFF exploit take time or never possible . humm little confused but as always there is alternative way , wahooo too nice .
there are two methods to perform in this case , which are to find your CID or created Gold card . finding Cid is to indentify Phone homeland by typing some command in fastboot . fastboot is in ADB installed package.
Put phone in Fasboot , connect to pc , install driver open Fastboot on pc and type this :

Quote:
fastboot getvar cid
[ ENTER ]

result will show such as
Quote:
CID:ORANG02
( is for Orange France , so need orange France rom ) if you won't operator rom gold card is for you .
Gold Card is used to bypass Firmware signature verification what is performed during rom flashing .
if rom signature is no matche with phone CID flashing stop by giving an error . with Gold card not error will appear .
to creat a Gold card many methods and tools exist to perform that .

Tools can be used to creat is : XT Clip , HTC dongle , Micro etc ... but I didn't yet used one to do Gold Card .
the one I've used to creat Gold card is this metod below , all is explained in link just read and follow .

youd need a working HTC Android Phone to perform this method ...


3 : finally , flashing step to get end the proced now

a ) RUU or Image file ?

there also it depend , RUU is easy way if phone is S-OFF or using Operator rom .
just Connect phone to pc via USB run Ruu.exe and follow Ruu.exe nstruction .

Image file is the rom Image , it is used for SD card flashing way .
Download RUU.exe right clik on it and extract it you will find a file in folder with xxx.img or xxx.nbh etc...
Copy xxx.img to the Gold Card created to perform the flashing . put sd card to phone .
reboot phone in fastboot with Gold card insided to start flashing phone . operation time depend of phone .
but be sure you have saw Succes or complete on screen before reboot phone , otherwise bricked .
