Finish these steps here .your almost there .

Step 3: Once it's finished installing, unplug the usb cable, run the app, and hit the button, "backup recovery image". If you get an error, try rebooting your phone, make sure the usb cable is unplugged.

Step 4: Exit app, and mount the sd card again, and move recovery-backup.img to your desktop, then rename recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img to recovery-backup.img

Step 5: Unmount sdcard, unplug usb cable, and go back into the flashrec app(should be named recovery flasher in all programs list)

Step 6: hit restore backup image. Once finished flashing, power down phone.

Step 7: After you power down your phone, hold the Vol Down button, then hold down the power button. Phone should boot into hboot. Press home for recovery.

Step 8: To ensure you have a backup of your phone before we continue, do a nandroid v2.2 backup.

Step 9: After the nandroid backup is complete, you can now choose apply "sd card update choose", and choose the fresh 06 Rom

Step 10: Reboot your phone and you should be all set.

Hi Athlet1c

I went through your instructions and after the Hboot and pressing home for recovery, I get locked in the HTC startup screen.

Any thoughts?

Usually this means, and I hate to say it because you said you did it already, that you need to format the SD card. Everyone I have worked with has had a positive result after formatting the sd when they get stuck on HTC bootup screen.
