When you run the RUU through active-sync to flash a ROM, all the RUU does is put your phone into bootloader mode then flash it, what you do when you hold vol down on reset is manually putting it into bootloader mode. The RUU will recognize and flash it just as if you did it thru active sync.

You can also just flash a ROM thru SD card if you want. If you want to do that and don't know how let us know and we'll steer you in the right direction

OK I am using windows 7. ot the bootlog rainbow screen, plugged TP2 into computer and tried to run RUU, when I did that, the screen on the TP2 changed to the HTC screen and and started to cycle the HTC scren then restart the phone, a momentary hang on the HTC scrren then restart again. The computer comes up with a 260 error on the RUU, which I think is telling me the computer is not reading that the TP2 is connected

In the white part of the bootloader screen it should say USB before you try to flash, this indicates connection is made. You can also look here - post 4 Re: Update Error: [260] Connection - T-Mobile Community
