[Q] Signature failed in restore recovery

hi, i had the frf91 vodafone version on my nexus one. i thougth to install the frg83d posted here with rom manager. Everything went fine but the installation didn't restore the recovery and if i try to flash it with fastboot:
C:\android\tools>fastboot devices
HT05EP800252 fastboot
C:\android\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (2294 KB)... OKAY [ 0.344s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 0.734s
am i doing something wrong?
is it because i'm rooted? i rooted my N1 without unlocking the bootloader.
Thanks

I dont think you can use fastboot to flash the recovery image without unlocking, you need to install the appropriate binary (/system/bin/flash_image) and call it from a shell on your phone (using a desktop is ok)
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687280

I would also say you lost root when updating your ROM. Also, you can't fastboot flash unofficial files without unlocking the bootloader.
Root, and flash through adb or ROM Manager, etc

[Q] How to update from FRG83G to GRI40 ?

I flash a FRG83G rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=927935
Now I want to update to GRI40 using the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968499
Unfortunately, when I want to flash HBoot 0.35.0017.
I meet trouble.
Code:
c:\fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... OKAY
writing 'hboot'... INFOadopting the signature contained in this image...
INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
What should I do if I want to update to GRI40 ?

Flash through recovery.

[Q] Problem updating to GRI40 from FRF91

I have a rooted FRF91 install.
Tried installing the modified GRI40 version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396
I flashed to the Radio version with no problem, but I can't flash hboot.
I get the following msg:
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... OKAY
writing 'hboot'... INFOadopting the signature contained in this image...
INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
Any ideas?
BTW: Can someone explain what is hboot exactly? couldn't find a decent explanation anywhere...

Flash it from recovery instead.
HBOOT is the bootloader, basically.

[Q] Not able to flash recovery.img after S-OFF and firmware upgrade

Hi,
I S-OFF'ed my HTC One, and upgraded the firmware!! Now i have a problem flashing the recovery.
When I'm trying to flash the recovery I'm only getting:
c:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (7422 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.188s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.223s
Any idea of why its giving me remote: not allowed?

Have you tried to change the cable or the usb port?
However, all the other command will work?

Hehe never mind, it was a total brainfreeze, when i used revone, i also locked the bootloader again so unlocking it again kinda helped hehe
Thanks for the reply anyways

Did you update with the modified or unmodified firmware?

DID YOU TRY reentering the command : fastboot flash zip firmware.zip imediately after the error(works sometimes) did you rename the download zip to firmware/

I flashed the unmodified firmware for the 3.05 firmware with the 1.55 hboot and got a similar message. I just rebooted and everything was fine.

Yeah we need some more info
S-ON or S-OFF?
Modified or unmodified firmware?

I was trying the unmodified firmware, and I believe that I AM S-ON, as I have never done anything special to get S-OFF.
I did try reissuing the command immediately after the fail a couple of times, and I did rename the firmware file as downloaded to firmware.zip
Thanks again!

Did you re-lock your bootloader?

Is that something that you're supposed to do before updating? I'd never heard of that.

yeah you have to relock your bootloader for the firmware to flash successfully. you can do this through the command "fastboot oem lock" in cmd that you opened in the same folder location as your fastboot binaries
BUT be careful because if you do this you will lose everything on your phone, including all of the stuff you have on your internal storage, etc. i just performed this operation yesterday and had gotten that same error before i re-locked

If you are S-ON you do indeed have to re-lock your bootloader
