Hi guys. I hope you could help me with your wisdom.
Trying to install the new froyo rom on my legend I get a problem like this:
Writing Boot:...
E:Error finishing BOOT:
E:Failure at line 80:
write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img
BOOT:
Installation aborted.
I know that it happends because y have 1 bad block. I cant believe that the boot partition has just the size it needs. Could I be able to install this update in the future with the S-OFF ?? Can I remap the boot partition to another working space ?
Please help!!
i have same problem. there is no chance.

As soon as kernel source is released we can work this out by recompiling it, separating some drivers from monolythic core thus making it a little bit smaller.
But as I said already (many times) this is hardware flaw that was there already at the production line of NAND chip so U should claim a new phone.

Someone said that he managed to make an OTA upgrade while he wasn't able to upgrade it with whitetigerdk's ROM.
You could try by flashing just boot.img from OTA:
boot into ClockworkMod recovery
adb push boot.img /
adb shell flash_image boot /boot.img (you can try several times)
...although original boot.img is 2512896 bytes and if you have one bad cell you are 22 kB short.
However (as I said too) there's another way... if we get S-OFF before kernel source, we can make boot partition a little bigger...
my boot 128kb shorted

I have no warranty because I bought it second hand so I'm going to throw 250 euros...
The only solution is to wait S-off
I would love to be beta testers of this!
I have the same problem
But it´s strange because yesterday i unrooted my Legend with vodafone UK.
And install the OTA with no issue.
I run official Froyo with no root.
Now i make a question, can i do root again?

Somehow I dont think all of us actually have bad blocks in our boot part. as those are not all THAT common, is there a way to find out for sure?

When NAND chip leavs production line it already has several bad cells but we don't know where untill we try to use them (read/write). Some of you are so fortunate to have one of those few just on the portion where boot partition resides...

ONLY FOR S-OFF PHONE
Guy, good news, IS is now rooted by YuHong of GoAPK.
i just installed it, and confirmed it have a working SU.
you will need to install the custom modded recovery, and then you can install his rom.
it is based on the official 1.38. and it have a english locale available.
for those that can read Chinese:
recovery:
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-1647299-1-1.html
rooted rom:
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-1647118-1-1.html
I am still testing the rom, so far it seems everything fine.
Sorry i cannot mirror the rom to here since i am having very slow internet connection here. (i am now in China for businese trip)
I do not take any credit, nor any responsibility, all hardwork is done by YuHong of GoAPK.

Problem is how many of us owned a S-off IS...
soff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, remember you must S-OFF, only S-OFF then you can install the recovery.
so sorry to hear that most people here is S-ON.
actually I just bought my IS today, was told by the shop that root is not possible yet, but the phone is S-OFF so i decided to buy it and wait.
luckyly root is ready and available for download.

sorry, as mentioned early, i am now on business trip in china and i dont have a stable and fast internet access to most file upload site.
but after all, i will not mirror it here as i dont know what the developer will think about it when all his hardwork is mirrored without his ackowlegment.

You could also just use SuperOneClick to get root.
Just used it, worked great (once you are S-OFF)

Hi, if you want to just root your currently installed firmware + use llnhhy's custom recovery, take a look: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036581
For those of you that flashed a bad radio to your NS4G, there is a fix!
Many thanks go out to Netarchy for relentlessly trying to fix my radio, and Shabbypenguin for supply Netarchy with his phone images both of them did a lot of work just to get my phone operational again Thank you very much!
Attached is the signed zip for you to flash in recovery. now listen very carefully before you complain that this didn't work for you. It did not work for me either, but it just may work for some people to flash in recovery, that is why i'm supplying a signed zip for you. What I had to do to get this to work is to unzip the file. inside there is a file called "radio.pr.img" boot into your bootloader and use the following fastboot command
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.pr.img
that worked for me and hopefully it will work for anyone else that flashes a bad image.
Once again thank you to Shabbypenguin and Netarchy, and anyone else that may have helped out.
Is this the stock radio that comes with it?

So can we use this with the SuperAsop rom?
Does anyone know if fastboot oem listpartitions work with this phone? Not at my pc right now. I was wondering which partitions were which. I dumped every image, 7, and i have one that is 13.5mb which i think is the radio that this phone came with. Also i wanna find out which is wimax
Uncle Jimmy says hello
So I installed SuperASOP 8.0 and then tried flashing the zip in recovery and pushing the img file via ADB and still have no radio. So it looks like no we can't use SuperASOP yet.
no superaosp doesnt have the cdma/wimax stuff, it was added to teh aosp source yesterday

I have never flashed a radio from recovery without it being modified. As for it having an update script idk but I would have to assume so

Is there a chance it'll brick my phone though? :-S I dont want to kill it... and I've flashed the radio from this ruu using "fastboot flash radio radio.img", so why wouldn't it work? if I only flash the system and data partitions, I should be safe from bricks, right?
Idk I don't use fastboot unless I have to. I haven't ever flashed anything besides a recovery from there. There is always a chance of bricking your phone when flashing something.
Chances are if you flash anything in an ruu your just gonna loose root. Wait til a dev gets his hands on it or look up how to use the android kitchen.

Root is SUPER easy to regain (just flash the root.zip in recovery)... and everything is flashed through fastboot on the Incredible S... except custom roms ofcourse.

If its an unofficial ruu that zip might not give your root back. Also if you have to flash custom roms from recovery, what makes you think this would be any different.?

thanks for reply brother
easiest way is to get ROM Manger from market and flash CWM that way.
I would stay away from CWM 3.0 since it's known to cause problems.

Oh, all this time I though you were already rooted.
Yeah you can't install custom recovery till you root first.
Read the WIKI on rooting
If you have unlocked your bootloader (I think that is what you said earlier?), then just flash recovery via fastboot like the wiki says...
What part are you struggling with? Are you getting any error messages?

I think you are just copying the command verbatim.
When it says /path/to/recovery.img it literally means wherever you have saved that file on your computer. In windows, it could very much look like
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "c:\user\john doe\Downloads\clockworkmod\recovery.img"
Keep in mind, if you are using windows, if the location has any spaces in it, it requires quotes around the whole thing.

Maybe because when your phone is rooted you cant install the system update from HTC. Apparently that CAN brick your phone. But thanks for the input.
Update radio using PG32IMG.zip
Hi,
if U can get to hboot then try to load a different Froyo radio to your sd card using your PC. And later install it via hboot and see what happens. Maybe the radio file you´ve used was corrupted. See which radios were recommended for the ROM you´ve restored. Use radio in PG32IMG.zip form.
