[Q] Flashing the latest and brightest

Hello guys,
I've bought my G1 a couple years back, it's still a functioning machine (although becoming a bit of a heavyweight in the smartphone-division), but I want it to do a little more than what it's capable of now. In other words: I want to update to a newer android version.
I'm still running a rooted cupcake.
In order to update to the latest ROMs, I need a new radio and SPL.
Problem is: I can't seem to flash them through fastboot.
This is the error I keep bumping into:
c:\androidsdk\tools>fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img
sending 'radio' (21120 KB)... OKAY [ 6.333s]
writing 'radio'... INFOsignature checking...

My current fastboot screen reads:
DREAM PVT 32B SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.38.0000 (DREA20000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.16.19
Feb 28 2009, 18:40:30
I had a lot of trouble trying to flash a custom recovery as well, but was finally able to pull that one off (installed the recovery app, flashed cyagonmod custom recovery and from inside that one I was able to flash RA's 1.7 custom recovery).
So now I'm running RA's custom recovery. I've been pulling my hair over this signing problem for two days now, the few threads I seem to find about it on this forum don't bring me any further either...
My question is: how do I flash my new radio? Can I flash them from recovery?
Many thanks in advance!
The Radio I'm trying to flash is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139

I had this issue as well.
My fix was re-rooting (hence both of our phones were S=ON and not S=OFF), installing the Engineering SPL, then following the fastboot commands given in the 2708 kernel installation guide you linked us to.
I believe that was my issue, but I did do the whole process of reverting back to the RC29 version, then doing the normal process of rooting and installing the recovery screen, bootloader, etc.
I believe that'll fix it, and if not, just say so and we'll figure it out!
Just to make sure everything is going on correctly,

SPL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860

Thank you, that was a very useful suggestion!
I flashed HardSPL through recovery and then tried fastboot flashing the radio and hboot again.
This time I bumped into the following error:
c:\androidsdk\tools>fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img
sending 'radio' (21120 KB)... OKAY [ 7.954s]
writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: partition does not exist)

Does this mean I need to format my SD card through recovery first?

Sorry for the few day delay, been busy.
I don't think that you need to wipe your SD card.
The HardSPL is 10.95.3000. You must first flash the the 1.33.2003 SPL.
Make sure it is the 2003 and not 2005, because I do not think that the 2005 is compatible.
Here,
Download this
http://www.mediafire.com/?jmt4nnzttnm
hboot: 1.33.2003 - SPL both in update.zip and img format
hboot: 1.33.2005 - in img format
radio: 2_22_23_02 in img format
1. I'd recommend that you flash back down to RC29 (just to be sure everything is done correctly),
2. Throw all the files included in the g1boot.zip onto your sdcard.
3. Root as you normally would, but use Amon Ra 1.7.0 in stead 1.5.2.
http://files.androidspin.com/downlo...OVERY/&file=recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img
4. Flash the spl_1_33_2003.zip from the recovery screen.
5. After that is complete, your phone will reboot.
6. Then you want to fastboot flash radio radio-2_22_23_02.img.
7. If that works, which it should if everything was done properly, you will fastboot flash hboot hboot-1_33_2005.img.
8. If everything goes as planned, you should be safe to flash your ROM now.
And just for the record, I believe I actually did mine of the Engineering SPL. If those steps don't work, I'd recommend trying that instead.
Keep me posted on how it works.

This worked like a charm! Thanks for all the help. I'm now on the radio, hboot & ROM I wanted to be
I tried doing the engineering SPL first. That didn't work. Then I went for the 2003 version, through that I was able to fastboot flash the radio and hboot. Then in recovery I first partioned my SD card and then flashed the Biffmod 2.1 ROM.
Testing it out right now Really slow first boot though, not sure if this will be fast enough.

First boots always take a while.
Hows it working for you?

[Q] Unable to update hboot

HI
Im trying to upgrade my nexus to gingerbread stock according to the guids in the dev section
I understand that u need hboot 35 in order to do so.
im currently using hboot 0.33.0012
and stock rooted froyo 2.2.2 with unlocked bootloader
as i enter fastboot on my phone and try the command
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
I get the following output
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... OKAY [ 0.085s]
writing 'hboot'... INFOadopting the signature contained in this image...
INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.279s
does anyone know why do I get "remote : not allowed"?
thanks!
edit: can I skip this step or do I must upgrade hboot?
and can I upgrade it with a zip through the latest amon ra recovery?
edit2: I found an update zip containing only the hboot ver 35 and when I try to flash it
it says its unsigned and installation aborted...
should I try cancelling sign checking through recovery or is it too risky?
come one guys I really need some help here...

I have the same issue, never been able to solve it.

You can find a zip to the .37 hboot, I think in one of the GB 2.3.3 threads. (IIRC, it was craigacgomez's) If you are getting an unsigned error, turn off the signature verification in your recovery. I used the same zip, and all was fine. If you can't find the zip file, let me know. I most likely still have it.
UPDATE: here is the link craigacgomez provided for the flashable, zip hboot. http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/passion/d6096cac5e9f.signed-hboot-0.35.0017.zip
If it still fails, turn off signature verification.

Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked? People usually get those errors when it is locked, or they are trying to flash a .zip file instead of an.img file.
Using recovery is fine to flash HBOOT. Link to the .zip is in my signature.

Solved
I managed to solve the problem by finding a flash zip file. like mentioned above, before the comment was written.
and I took off the signature check myself, without knowing that itll go through fine
except from that the radio upgrade, and gingerbread installation went fine, finally I have 2.3.3 on my phone!!
thnks a lot anyway. I still wonder what is the cause for this error, as my bootloader is unlocked for sure, and I even tried
fastboot oem unlock
one more to be sure (which failed, as it stated that it is already unlocked)

I was getting the same error trying to flash to the .37 hboot from fastboot. My bootloader has been unlocked since I took the phone out of the box.

You guys were at the fastboot screen, right?

Yea, I have used fastboot a few thousand times. Was found by fastboot devices. Just gave errors every time I tried to flash it. The zip worked fine though. Never had any problems flashing anything else through fastboot.

Yeah, I figured I was grasping at straws, but thought I'd ask anyway...

No, I had not upgraded to ICS. I was using stock GB with a modified kernel

First thing you shouldve done was relock the bootloader to flash back to stock....hopefully you didnt bork your phone.....IF you can get into hboot relock the bootloader and re run the ruu

Guys, I did see that post earlier, but the problem is I cant boot my phone. Am stuck on HTC logo while booting(I mentioned it in my first post). Now, how do I run the RUU? I can get into HBOOT.
Also, fastboot update rom.zip gave following error:

Does the bootloader say locked or unlocked? IF locked connect phone to computer with fastboot enabled and run the ruu. If it says unlocked you have to run fastboot oem lock and see if it will lock....IF it does lock and says relocked then follow " IF locked connect phone to computer with fastboot enabled and run the ruu"

Yes Bro you are right it worked for me too happy right now wnjoy buddy live more have a good day .

If some one is still on this problem, I had the issue Where upon boot the device said "Decrption Unsucessful" so i thought i should give it a factory reset which the device also prompts to but can't since the Partitions are Corrupted or just a Partition in my case, So flashed TWRP 3.0.2.-0 [Older i know], tried to Wipe Data and Cache but couldn't, so thought i should give it a Full Flash, upon doing so i stumbled on many problems, like the one OP has here, others like 'Device Haulted" [The one you get when you try to update via a SDCard], so been wasting my brain cells since yesterday, So a thought struck to my mind "Did i try to Wipe the System and Data via TWRP?" [Actually you just need to wipe the Data Partition] , So tried again and it couldn't said [Couldn't mount data/] so Google and Struck on a Video by usmanalitoo [ youtube.com/watch?v=Rs4zcryNt5Y ] in which he said to Format the Data partition to ext2 then back to ext4 which did wonders, See the video yourself. if you can't flash or other stuff. Before you do other wierd **** to you innocent device.

ICS upgrade - boot loop - can't fix - bricked?

I have searched the forums, and I can not find the answer to my specific situation. Please forgive me if it is there somewhere. The story…….
- last working ROM was VIVO ICS official, RUU installed. (RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTC_WWE_4.10.405.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266013_signed.exe). HBOOT was changed to 2.02 S-ON, bootloader locked. I unlocked via HTCdev. Before this I had IceColdSandwich 8.1.1, ENG Hboot S-OFF. I had originally used the GB downgrade ROM to S-OFF, and restored IceCold backup after this.
- I wanted to be S-OFF again, and so tried installing this zip using CWM Recovery, following the advice of tpbklake:
vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip Version 1.1
(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756500&page=1)​
- now boot loop. I tried reinstalling other ROMs which I have successfully installed in the past (GB downgrade, stock ICS), and also restore various backups, but all result in boot loop (stuck on white HTC screen). Each time I would use CWM Recovery to clear dalvik, cache etc.
- I have now followed 'fix' instructions in that same thread, ie. :
1. Download the file lib.zip from here: http://bit.ly/PwK4BH
2. Unzip the lib.img and place it on your PC where you have fastboot.exe installed.
3. Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command:
fastboot flash lib lib.img
4. Download the file format_lib_update.zip from here: http://bit.ly/RIpEUL
5. Copy it to your SD card.
6. Boot into recovery and then install format_lib_update.zip
7. While in recovery format the SYSTEM partition.
8. Then reinstall vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip​

OK, so what is the state of your HBOOT? Are you still HBOOT 2.02.0002 UNLOCKED?
When you are using the an unlocked HTC HBOOT and you flash a custom ROM in CWM, you then manually have to extract the boot.img file from that ROM's zip file and flash it manually in FASTBOOT USB mode. If you don't do that, you will get a boot loop.
What you need to do if you can still get into CWM and the bootloader is still UNLOCKED is reflash that ROM again and then flash the boot.img file in FASTBOOT mode and you should be ok.

Well then you can always relock the bootloader and then run the 4.10.405.1 RUU like you did originally. Then you can unlock the bootloader since you already have the unlock_code.bin file.

Once you get back to that point, unlock the bootloader, install ClockworkMod and then flash su-3.0.7-efghi.zip to root the official ROM. Then you should be able to rerun the downgrade process to get back to S-OFF.

Thanks very much. The stock ICS RUU has now installed successfully. I guess when I originally tried to reinstall it, I had left out the 'RELOCK' step, which is why it failed.
So now I am back to the start (stock ICS + HBOOT 2.02 S-ON), and want to get S-OFF and install your ROM zip. ,What I originally intended to do to get S-OFF was:
1) Unlock the bootloader, flash CWM Recovery, flash SU
2) Run downgrade GB RUU
3) S-off with Revolutionary
4) Install Blackrose HBOOT
5) Install your vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
But step 2) failed with an unknown error. (I then tried to install your zip, and the rest is the sad history.....).
So what caused step 2 to fail? Did I need to relock the bootloader first?
Many thanks for your help, tpbklake

And fyi it will not change the h boot version, only the main ver which is reported at the end of the script.
Cheers

One more thing, I would try flashing another ROM, i came from Niks Sense 4a rom, and the script worked with no issues.
Remember you will need to manually flash the boot.img of the rom as you are S-ON.

Open a command window and then type in the command:
adb shell
If you get a # prompt then your ROM is rooted correctly and the script should run. If it doesn't then the ROM isn't properly rooted and the script will fail.

hello
at first I was the same with the recovery, but install this and it worked well, and use that version of android stock for now
but if you want to upgrade later (OTAS), you would have to have stock recovery and unroot your device, saludos

Since no one else is really helping you I will.
So what I gathered is your Rom bootloops and you've tried installing stock Rom but still no luck so you want to switch recoveries but you can't get twrp to flash...?
1. Are you S-Off or S-On? If you are s-on you must flash boot.img with this command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. To flash a recovery made for your device you must place it in fastboot and enter this
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. Place Rom on internel storage if you choose cwm because it doesn't support external sdcard like twrp. For latest twrp, message @kairi_zeroblade... If you can't place on internal with cwm then you must do a sideload with the Rom same goes for twrp.

Not sure if you can enter this command without a-off but try
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Then repeat the previous post....
If that doesn't work I'd try firewaters universal s-off tool and obtain s-off and try that command or see if it fixes your issues with your device. if that fails your best bet would be to ruu.. if you can't do that either you got a useless device till s-off exploit Is found if that's the reason why it's messing up.... Or donate it to someone who could fix it (me)

Seem like you fried your "/data" partition from what you just mentioned above. The only way I could see you fix is ruu. Cause HTC won't fix it if you send it in with a custom recovery at which you can't change.
And what I meant is since the device is rendered completely useless, unless you can get a run to ruu. You'd donate it to me this way i could try and fix it...

There is no RUU for this phone, as far as I know. The closest thing to RUU is flashing everything by hand, but this seems to have failed in this case, unfortunately.
