Did you install the drivers? Easiest way to do that is to install the latest HTC Sync Manager.

yeah, i did that and uninstall sync manager, and then reinstalled it
I remember a few people having a similar issue. The fix was when deleting HTC sync make sure you delete anything at all associated with HTC on your pc.
Hope it works out for ya man

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader via HTC's method and when I go to use token it can never open it. It's coming up as a vlc media file when i go to view the file. Does it need a different file extension or should I just uninstall vlc player for now. Thanks for any help.

If uninstalling is a hassle, I believe in the VLC settings you can change what file types open with VLC. Just unselect the token file type (can't remember what it is).

No. But in cmd it says cannot open it and does not recognize it so I'm wondering if it has to do with file type. I'm just guessing though.

Open up vlc media player. Look for options or settings. Then uncheck all flies types that are associated with vlc by default. Then reboot. See if that helps.

I'll try it but I actually went back in the steps on HTC's site and now they say they r aware of the problem and tell u to download a certain ruu. But what makes me even more nervous is they say once u do that u will probably not receive future ota updates if u do so. It is the fix but if for some reason it doesn't work I don't want to be stuck on an ruu I can't change and not ever be able to unlock or get ota. Thanks for everyones help but I'm gonna sit this one out and just wait for official ota.

Okay so here's the deal. I was attempting to add some tweaks to file systems (system, devlog, and cache). I flashed my ROM with the tweaks included and then powered off from recovery because I had to pick a friend up from work. I came home and when I turned my flyer on it just booted to a black screen. So I tried rebooting into bootloader and recovery through adb and they both rebooted to this same black screen. No htc splash or anything.
Things I have tried:
Re-flashing recovery
Running RUU's
Re-flashing bootloader
Flashing zips through fastboot from Globatron's HC upgrade thread
Letting it die and trying again
Pretty much everything I can think of
When I flash any zip through fastboot, it says something like "Failed: remote id".
When i run any RUU, it says either that the battery is too low (which I know it isn't because I've charged overnight) or that it can't continue because there is a model ID error. I've tried using RUUs from the 3g flyer, wifi flyer, and US wifi flyer (I own the US wifi version) and they all say the same thing.
I still have adb and fastboot access, so I'm confident that this is fixable, but it is beyond my knowledge now and I need your help! So please if you have any suggestions, throw them out here! Let me know if more details are needed.
I tried looking at other "my Flyer is bricked" threads but none seemed to help my current situation.
Figures I was going to start working on my ROM again and this happens
Maybe
Fastboot erase cache
Almost sounds like you are in download mode. I have read in a couple threads allong the way of people finding themselves there but struggling to get out
Yeah I've tried that already with no avail. It's so weird. But how would've this triggered download mode?
yea I am not sure, nor am I sure my idea holds any water since you have allowed your flyer to completely drain. I believe that once you did that and it charged enough to power on you would be out of download mode. I think. when you do an adb reboot or fatboot reboot recovery it does appear like your flyer is rebooting? I know the end result is a black screen, but is it seamingly turning off then on again?
Well when I reboot it just sits at the black screen and vibrates once. It might go dark for a second but I would have to check again, and it is charging right now.
I don't like bumping threads, but I'm pretty desperate here. I tried fooling around with it some more and I still have nothing. Any input at all would be appreciated

Well that's the thing, I'm never really in the botloader. I'm at a black screen no matter what I do however I can still use fast boot and adb. I might try that when it charges again.
Whenever I try to flash a zip through fast boot it says "failed remote id not allowed"
I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with the boot loader but I really haven't got a clue. When I type fast boot getvar all it says that I'm still s-off.
I even tried changing my main version to no avail.

Sadly, I think you're right I just tried to unlock my bootloader as a last resort and I got to the point where you use the volume buttons to make an on screen selection and that screen never popped up. So I guess my screen really is dead..
Yeah it sucks but I've found stuff on mobile devices tend to just up and die without warning, I guess your best bet is HTC support. I know someone on here had a bad charging jack and wasn't able to revert to stock and they still honored his warranty and fixed his flyer

what's your Android version on the phone? Are you sure you're not trying to install an older RUU on your phone? If you have a newer version of Android on your phone (like ICS) you do NOT need to run the RUU mention on HTC Dev, proceed to step 1 ( button at the bottom of page) and continue following the steps
Compare the version number it tells you to download and the version your phone is running. If your phone is newer theres no need for the RUU.

Try uninstalling the drivers for the phone and get the latest drivers from HTC Sync.
If that doesn't work, try either a different computer, or if you have another OS installed on your computer (dual booting Windows / Linux), boot into the other one and try using ADB on that.
