Let me explain you,what you have to do first when you get htc in your shop.

Fastboot : Fastboot is a special diagnostic and engineering protocol. You can boot your HTC Android Devices into fastboot mode. While in fastboot, you can modify the file system images from a computer like you can flash kernel as well as other partitinos.

2.for get correct firmware for htc mobile,you must have to know cid and main-ver.
Q.how to know cid and main-ver,i'm totally new to htc ?
A.after setup adb and fastboot,you have to write simple commands..
command for cid:fastboot getvar cid
command for main-ver:fastboot getvar all
we need this info letter,keep it note.

3.now you have cid and main-ver,so you can download file now.
but please before download file check this thread and match your cid to know carrier and country.

.
exm:RUU_Bravo_Froyo_O2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.0 0.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
RUU = rom update utility.
Bravo = phone model.
Froyo = phone android version.
O2_UK= Carrier of firmware.
2.14.207.1 = main version of rom.

5.now you already know your carrier by cid,and main-ver.
just download rom which carrier is same,and main-ver equal or higher.

6.ok now we know everything but where to download
i know three biggest sites,first one is father of all

if your cid is =1111111 that's mean you have super cid you can write any rom on your phone,but main-ver should be higher.

this thread was for s-on users,s-off user can write any rom on their phone.

if you want to update your phone by sdcard.


[Guide] How to Upgrade Your HTC Android Phone with a microSD card

A. Run the RUU. For example, you want to update your Desire HD with RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.6 0.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe. Run this file and wait till extract (you'll see a bar going from left to right) and after that leave it as it is (don't click next or don't close the program)

B. Go to your PC temp folder. For win7 its C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp and for winXP its C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Temp and look for the last created folder. Open that.

C. You'll get a rom.zip file there. Copy it to desktop or other suitable place. Now you can close the RUU program.

A. You can't directly update the rom.zip file. You've to rename it according to your phone model number. Look for the model number in the serial sticker under battery. For Desire HD its PD98100, for Wildfire S its PG76100 etc. Take first four letter from this model number and then add IMG. So, for example for Desire HD rom.zip should be renamed as PD98IMG.zip and for Wildfire S it should be remaned as PG76IMG.zip

B. Now put this renamed file to a microSD card.

A. Insert the card to microSD slot of the phone.

B. Power on the phone in HBOOT mode with microSD inserted. For most HTC android phones you have to press VolDown then Power to go to HBOOT mode. Wait for a while, phone will read the zip file and will ask you for update confirmaton. Read the screen instruction and press required button.

C. Update will start. Be patient and wait till being finished.
