Still no luck, even with that rom. Now nothing passes "Opening update package"
did you flash the other recovery? or did u try it with the CWM? because when i tried it with the CWM 5.0.x.x it didnt work either, kept freezing. but then i tried the older recovery, and it worked first try.
incase you did try the CWM recovery, follow these steps that i had to do, it worked for me, i just did it less then an hour ago.
1.download
http://www.mediafire.com/?x80higzqm0zqpbp put it on your sd card.
2. shut off your phone, then turn on with power + vol down
3. let it read the zip file you put on the sd card
4. when it asks if you want to apply the update by pressing vol up, press vol up and let it do its thing
5. once its done, press power to reboot, it will stop at the htc screen still.
6. pull out the battery, pull out the sd card also, plug it into something (micro sd adapter, or something that will allow you to plug it into your computer)
7. go into the sd card on your computer, delete the file from your sd card that you put on there in step 1
8. put the sd card + battery back into your phone (be sure the custom rom is on your sd card, ssrom12.4.11.2.zip)
9. turn on phone with power button + vol down
10. let it do its check, then click on Recovery, and let it boot into recovery
11. once in the recovery, click wipe data/factory reset, then click wipe cache
12. flash the rom from your sd card (ssrom12.4.11.2, it will take a while)
13. once done, reboot your phone, and if all goes well, it should sit at the htc screen for ~2minutes or so, then it will go to the VM boot animation, then to the lockscreen. (be advised, wifi will not work, and the built in apps2sd doesnt work properly, but its better then the phone not working at all)
let me know how it goes
