[Q]4 Day Search,Need ENG SPL for fresh rom - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched for about 4 days just for instructions on this eng-spl,and im probably going to get told to read more for posting this question.Basically when i try to install a splash screen i get this error.
sending 'splash1' (750 KB)... OKAY [ 0.355s]
writing 'splash1'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.356s
And when i did some research it seems you have to have a ENG-SPL or something to have advanced fastboot access.
I followed the tut guide on how to root 2.2
and afterwards i flashed the latest fresh rom.i didnt follow any other instructions because my second evo came with 2.2
i just need to know how to install this ENG spl on the fresh rom , or if some one can tell me how i can change the splash image from the rom so i can just re flash the rom when i want a new splash screen,or if i can sign a splash screen so i can flash it thanks.Thanks alot.

You need to flash the negineering bootloader, this thread is the one you need.

Ok so do i have to flash another rom before i do that update,right now i have the latest fresh rom....do i have to download that pc36img and flash from recovery or flash on hboot,i read that link and tried those steps before and i semi bricked my phone,i would just like to know if i flash that pc36img what do i do next? thanks.

HELP! Broken Recovery & boot loop

Help!
PVT4 - S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
I rooted my Mums PVT4 Desire - all went well. Rebooted into Recovery and flashed RunnyMead Rom... rebooted into a boot loop - back into recovery and all I get is the main menu, if I select anything I get a black screen with no menu options (I did get these before flashing the ROM) pressing the power button brings back the recovery menu. The recovery is ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 (I'm not sure but think this might not be compatible)...
So now I'm stuck. I tried flashing AmonRa with fastboot but get "
OKAY [ 0.601s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.012s"
I don't want to go further before knowing what I need to do to fix this, any help very much welcomed!!
I'm thinking of trying S-Off, but will this work without the phone booting to the OS?
Thanks
pvt 4 erase cache 40000 and CWM 2.5.0.7 are not compatible... you can NOT flash new recovery as you are s-on, s-off is needed try to run RUU 2.29 and s-off with alpharev or revolutionary
more research and learning is really needed...
Boot into fastboot, flash 2.3.3 RUU and run Revolutionary. Fore more information read bortak's troubleshooting guide.
Thanks, founds that guide and returned back to stock... will try re rooting in next few weeks. Thanks for the help, so glad I've got my Nexus...

iconia tab a101 : recovery verified failed

Hi guys,
I got an issue since I tried to downgrade from leak ICS for A101 (the russian) to HC.
Since that day, each time I try to use recovery with a stock rom, I always got the same message while booting recovery kernel image : Recovery verified failed.
I downgraded because ICS had a very annoying draining battery issue but even after downgraded, it seemed something went wrong as I cant use any stock recovery rom at all.
Would you any idea so that I could go back to an official A101 stock rom o that I could get OTA future upgrades ?
I searched all over the forum and googled as well billions of pages with no success.
Thanks for your help. :good:

That means your recovery isn't stock with a stock boot loader. Does android boot at all?

You can use this to update to ICS for a100 but instead of the 101, you'll lose 3g. If you can find the 101 ICS update then use that instead.
You may end up needing to go to stock ICS then root to get recovery back as the honeycomb boot loader won't do fast boot.
In the end you'll need to replace recovery to do anything else, have you hard reset with the volume key + lock switch toggle?

What procedures did you use to go to ICS and then back to HC? What boot loader is displayed when booting?
My guess is that somehow you are on the ICS recovery while on HC. Causing the recovery fail, or the recovery is not there. I would flash the Honeycomb recovery, then reboot a few times, and then boot to the recovery to confirm it is working. Then you should be good to go to flash an official HC or ICS a101 ROM. http://vache-android.com/?dir=Tablets. Has most of the ROMs. Some a101 ROMs are located in the a100 folder. Look for the prefix of 'a101' in the ROM name. You will have to do your own research on the ROM versions, as I'm not versed in a101 ROMs.
I have attached a copy of the HC recovery.

My guess is that somehow you are on the ICS recovery while on HC.
I think the same'as my boot loader is 3.0.1 from what Acer recovey tells me.
The procedure is the normal one for the custom leak version of ics (four files renamed one after the other as update zip flashed through recovery (power + rock volume buton at the Left).
However when I tried to recover Hc stock rom things went wrong. I haven t been able to boot back until I flash another time one of the hc stock rom.
From this day, I have been able to boot ans use hc but for each update or each time I tried to flash a custom or stoc rom I alway got tis eror message.

You can't run a custom ROM on the honeycomb bootloader. You must be on ICS then root then unlocked then custom recovery THEN you can use custom ROMs.
The last sentence I take to mean you can't run a custom ROM, in which case update to ICS again then follow the directions.

I cant't anything at all in fact !! That's the point... Whatever is the file I try to flash, I got the same message from scratch : "recovery verified failed". I doesn't even boot on the file itself.
How can I do to repair the recovery process ? Do I have to rename HC-Recovery.IMG or do I have to flash it from the pc itself within the Terminal ?
I have moved a little forward :
I used adb reboot-bootloader to use fastboot from the pc and tried to erase or reflash and I got this : Bootloader v0.03.14-ICS Satrting Fastboot Usb download protocol
Fast Boot: Not suported the command in Lock mode
Failed to process command erase recovery or download 0034c100 error (0x2)
That confirms the fact that I'm on a ICS bootloader with HC !!
I tried to unlock the bootloader :
it seemed to work :
O:\ACER A101\ICS UPDATES\ICS_rooting>fastboot oem unlock
...
OKAY [ 0.093s]
finished. total time: 0.093s

Unlock doesn't work on the a100 bootloader, only the a200 ics boot loader, have you done a hard reset? You have to or the hc boot loader won't fire up.
Power off the tab, hold the volume furthest from the lock switch, press and hold power, once the screen comes on let go of power and flip the lock switch a couple times while still holding the volume key.

I did and it's exactly the same messages...
You can push a new recovery img to the recovery partition with terminal or adb.
Fastboot can only been used from the pc. I tried to push the recovery from the pc and I got the same same error messages...
Su hasn't been installed on the tablet. Even after the hard reset, the issue is the same.

[Q] error: cannot load 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru'

Hi, I am having a problem with the recovery on my One X (UK - HTC_001). I am still running the stock ICS ROM, was planning on flashing JB ROM, but noticed that the OTA update became available for my device yesterday. I flashed stock recovery (endeavoru_recovery_signed) & proceeded with the OTA update, it got about 1/3 of the way through & switched to the red ! triangle. It rebooted & still works perfectly, so I figured back to plan A & flash a JB ROM. This is where my problems have began...
1. When booted into recovery, it loads a small image (a handset with green circular arrows above it) in the centre of the screen for a few seconds then goes back to the red ! triangle & eventually (after couple of minutes) reboots the handset.
2.When I try to flash CWM Recovery or any other Recovery I get this error....
C:\Users\Danny\Downloads\OneXRoot>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-tou
ch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru
error: cannot load 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru'
'fastboot erase recovery' comes up with a similar error.
I have also tried flashing CWM Recovery from ROM Manager several times, it appears to download & says flash complete, but when I reboot into recovery it still loads the useless stock recovery.
3. When i flashed the unlock code again i got this error (although the handset is now showing as unlocked)....
C:\Users\Danny\Downloads\OneXRoot>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.021s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 16.391s
Other than this the handset works as normal. I am unsure about attempting to flash a JB ROM without having CWM Recovery. Any help / advice would be much appreciated.

[Q] S-Off but not unlocked, revolutionary instead of locked/unlocked

Hello,
I'm new here, I checked for simular threads and where to put this thread. I hope I did fine..
A few months back I flashed my Desire S without any problems to cyanogenmod 10.
Now I'm trying to do the same for my girlfriends Desire.
I used revolutionary to get s-off and root the phone..
Everything seemed to work out fine, but then it asked me (still in revolutionary) if i wanted to install recovery.
I did that, no errors occured, so I thought, so far, so good...
Than I rebooted in to fastboot to flash cyanogenmod.
I have S-off, but on top of the bootloader screen it says 'revolutionary' instead of unlocked.
I can go to recovery but the recovery doesn't work. Anything I select gives me a black screen with revolutionary logo and it just freezes.
I tried to flash a different recovery, but I get an error everytime I try:
c:\android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (5624 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.827s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image update error)
finished. total time: 0.842s
I tried flashing zip files for SU and I tried flashing a CM zip file, but I get more errors...
I hope someone can help me figure this out...
Thanks!

Try flashing this recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751258
Follow the instructions in the thread.
That worked like a charm! Thanks a lot, so easy, never thought this could work!
I'm in the new recovery now, so I'll try flashing the new rom.. I'll let you know if it worked..
Installed CM10 and gapps without any problems!
Only thing is.. there seems to be no camera app?
And another thing is the memory left on the internal device is only 17MB.. can't even install facebook app...
Is there any way to improve this?
Thanks!

[Q] Locked or Unlocked

Hey Guys,
Hope that someone can help me, I have rooted, installed recovery and custom firmware on a few HTC's.
But this has frickin stumped me !!
The desire I have gotten my hands on does not show locked or unlocked in the boot menu, but It has got S-off I didn't think it was possible??
Tried to unlock the bootloader through HTC dev and that failed, so i thought it was already unlocked
Tried flashing recovery through fast boot, but that failed!!
I'm a bit lost, anyone got any ideas as to where I'm going wrong??
Step one: Stop trying to unlock it...there is no need
Since the phone is already s-off you dont need to worry about unlocking the bootloader.
S-off is the highest level of "openness" you can have on the desire. You have the ability to write to all of the partition that you can with an unlocked bootloader, plus more.
The fact that flashing a recovery failed is indeed a problem though. What was the exact error?

in my sig (click to show content) theres 4ext recovery as PB99IMG, click the link and follow instructions to flash recovery.
Or
Use the twrp recovery img that u have and flash it using fastboot command
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
Then u should be able to boot into recovery
It's ALIVE !!!!

Guys,
Ok, so i realised that I was being a major dumbass and using the wrong fastboot command to try and flash my recovery.
Even when I used the command - fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img, the result was the same, no recovery for me and a bootloop
But the 4ext recovery as PB99IMG zip file on the root of my S/d card has worked, I now have a working recovery and no more bootloop.
Thanks for all your help guys

I tried flashing both of these recoveries
CWM - Touch 5.8.2.0 - Bravo
TWRP - 2.6.0.0 - 2013.07.16
Had the same result on both neither would flash in fastboot.
Taking a look through the files on the phone i can see leftover data from both CWM and also Titanium backup, so its totally been flashed and rooted before I got my hands on it.
