[SOLVED]Can't flash partitions! - GT540 Optimus Android Development

EDIT: I FIXED IT! I USED A PC AFTER SCHOOL TO FASTBOOT IT!
Help!
I put my boot image on my recovery partition and vice versa.
I was using the flash_image binary to flash them to the original, but it says failed to write block at xxxxxxxxxxxxx (out of memory)
skipping write block at xxxxxxxxxx
It does this for a while, then says failed to write recovery/boot.
I tried to use the erase_image binary, but it still had the same error.
I now have no boot or recovery!
I don't have a PC, so I can't use fastboot! What should I do?

The only way you can fix this is fastboot because from the sounds of it you where trying to flash originals onto a device that im guessing at some stage had resized partitions ?

I was trying to reflash the rcovery and boot images onto the phone using the flash_image binary.
Some idiot had renamed them so that they were opposite.
When i tried to reflash i got the error.

Custom Recovery Image?

Does anyone have a Custom Recovery Image handy for Incredible, I want to verify Root with Jake Day, and have him take a screenshot.
Hmmmm. Looks as if I will be eating my words after all. For the first time this is not such a bad thing.

Let me see and I have been on with them on GTalk all morning....hopefully when he is out of work will have some screenshots
Hey acidbath. Is there any way I could get your gtalk. Id like to help and depending on what he needs I could most likely do it.
Edit: you should try to get a video or a picture. Screenshots are easily faked. Hopefully this goes somewhere. And how is he gonna flash a recovery if he doesn't have an incredible. Is his buddy gonna flash it?

And yeah I am asking for proof not just PhotoShop LOL
I have been workibg on the recovery a little. But since we have not had root (and kosh said he would suppirt the Inc when we have root) its been put on the back burner(new job and renovating my house getting it ready for my son to be born)
But maybe I can get something together this weekend.

You can push the kernel without a recovery. All you need is fastboot.

Yeah I know...well...it may be BS or maybe not....we will see.
we dont have flash image built into our roms and to top that off if there is harware locks put into place than flash_image is useless.
Im not bieng negative just bieng real.
Yeah I hate to burst anyone's bubbles but there's no way
koush is going to waste his time on a recovery for the inc without proof positive of root and access to recovery first.

Well I can, now stop yealling. First you should thanks for the new rom, then you should ask if it is possible to put it on some other mirror, or explain happens when you click link, since megadownload is obviously not working for you. It might be blocked by your ISP.

Is it rooted already ?
Uploading was made after 30 minutes, may be a problem from megaupload, but will soon go. I personally have tried to download before you post here and well downloaded

Prepare it, test it, upload it, test dowoading it, make screenshots and only after that make that new thread! And that goes to everyone! There's no need to tease ppl.

I do not understand why you talk like that. screensots were made after I tested, because otherwise I could not do screenshots, I did upload to megaupload, then I downloaded the first time. What should I do? I posted not for money, I wanted to give to anyone who wants one more beautiful than the classic rum
No disrespect m8 but I see some cooks are starting threads way before they upload their stuff. That way they just tease other hungry ppl.
Anyway, nice shots.

Bootloader from dev atrix

Who have the UNLOCKED bootloader bin file from the Dev ATRIX ? I have 2 atrix and i'll try to flash it on my 2nd device for testing.
If you have all required files, mirror it please and post the links
UPDATE APRIL 18TH:
I need a software for open the bin files for comparison purposes ( HEX EDITOR DONT WORK )
I may be wrong, but what I have been told is that while the bootloader can be flashed, since it is not signed the phone will brick.

You won't be able to do much with these files.
dont waste it... ill buy it off of you dude.
It would be nice if someone who knew for sure would post if this is even possible before this guy ruins his phone! Though it is cool of him for trying since it could help everyone if it works out ok!
It is definitely not going to work. You really believe developers would not hadn't done this if it was the least bit promising?

It will fail I believe because it will not be able to pass the checks for the sigs = brick. Unless of course you have a secret technique you wanna try that's not just a simple flash

He may want to tell us if he succeeded first, so, you know, the funds start transferring.
Are we sure this will even brick the phone? Without being signed wouldn't it just fail to start the process? What we need is a way to push the bootloader to the phone that does not require it being signed.
There is some information about the bootloader in
http://dev.gitbrew.org/~dasmoover/debdroid/doc/tegra/tegra_250_froyo_20110207.pdf
Not sure if it will help you out any...I have not gotten into Atrix development as much as I should.
If i replace the oem bootloader file by the dev atrix bin file, everything should works. Ill compare the 2 files tonight
I'm pretty sure someone has tried this..

Wow you just can't wait to brick your phone can you. Even after people told you what's gonna happen you still want to go through with it.
If anybody has what this guy is looking for please give it to him so we can luagh at him when he wants help unbricking his phone.

can i dual boot?

can i dual boot 2 roms?
Yes and no. The closest thing to it is through an app called bootmanager that installs roms on your SD card which doesn't take long to switch between roms. But you can't truly dual boot off the phones internal storage.

thanks for your quick reply there is an app in the android market which can be used for dual boot purposes for example you can work on your ics rom and keep zues rom well in other words you dont need to keep nandroid backup which is time consuming..... the name of the app is boot manager plz check it out.....

Our device is not supported.
It won't help with trying to get the KU900 V30 to work on our P970 as it doesn't boot. I am not sure how they do this from what I can tell they boot much later by mounting their file image then booting from that. The problem we are facing happens before that, but it does look interesting.
EDIT: Those sizes you are looking for can very easily be found using any terminal emulator or adb shell.

To what extent does can it "emulate" the alternate ROM booting. Can we alter bootargs that are passed to kernel by u-boot. Their website actually tells me very little about how it is actually done.

Just the kernel won't help. We need to alter stuff before the kernel gets initialized and if we make a mistake then we might lose the ability to go into SW Update mode and we can't risk that.
We can easily re-flash kernels as is so that's not the problem.
