[Q] Error :( - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I get this error when I try to install the new radio:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
"sending 'radio' <24832 KB>. . . FAILED <status malformed <1 bytes>>
Something I'm doing wrong?

Did you make sure, as suggested in the other thread you posted this question in, that you are indeed in fastboot and not just HBoot?

[Q] Flashing new radio

I just tried flashing [RADIO]Vision_RADIO_12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27_M radio and keep getting
c:\SDK\Platform-tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' (24832 KB)... OKAY
writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
I have root and s-off. my hboot version is HBOOT-0.82.0000
I thought i may have the wrong hboot but tried to flash another and got the same exact error you see up top. I've been searching everywhere for about 2 hours with no luck, can someone help.

You have to have an ENG Hboot to use fastboot.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Also, make sure your radio is unlocked too.

Are you sure you have ENG S-OFF? If you search the forum for
desire HD FAILED (remote: not allowed)
it looks like the reason for this error is not having ENG S-OFF.

[Q] CM7hbootr2

Hello,
I have just flashed Alpharev CM7hboot r2. After it was successfully flashed, I booted into the recovery and found that my recovey "4EXT Recovery" doesn't start. I just get "Preparing boot..." message only. Is there anyway to reinstall 4EXT Recovery with fastboot, if so please explain. If not, please explain any fix.
Get into fastboot and type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Place the recovery image in the same folder as the fastboot.exe first.
From where do I get the recovery.img?
4EXT has only PGI99.zip file
Check the zip file the .img file should be there if I am not mistaken
Yes, but when I try to flash I get an error.
And now when I try to reflash the hboot I get that error. Any ideas?
Running fastboot command - PLEASE WAIT.

Try "fastboot devices" from your console, to check if your phone is properly connected to the PC and drivers are working ok.

[Q] Can't flash HBOOT. (status malformed (1 bytes)) Desire otherwise fine.

Edit: this appears to have been an issue with my USB cable. Thanks anyway to kotag82 for all his help.
I am trying to unroot my desire because the power button is broken and I need to send it in for warranty. I currently have CM7 installed, with the Bravo CM7 r2 HBOOT from AlphaRev.
I am trying to flash the stock desire HBOOT but I get this error:
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
finished. total time: 0.001s
I have checked the MD5 of the .img
I don't know what to do next.
Thanks
Edit: also the RUU can't see my phone. I assumed that was because I'm not using Sense so HTC Sync doesn't connect, but it may be relevant.
Did you try to flash downgrade first, cm7/r2 has protection

I did not, please could you point me in the right direction? I have never heard of that before.
It has protection(RUU can't overwrite it) download downgrader from alpharev: first flash it reboot and flash stock one
Edit... sorry you can do it without downgrader my bad...
did you try fastboot devices?

But now downgrade is flashed atleast. But that does mean I'm now stuck in a bootloop.
Hi try this stock hboot, stock.img inside

Is this more likely to work than the stock hboot on http://alpharev.nl/ ?
I'm slightly hesitant about flashing something I don't know where its from..
Edit, its MD5 is identical. I tried it anyway but I had the same message. "sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))"
this was downloaded from alpharev ages ago, i flashed it 1 hour ago... everything ok, i just renamed it because of im lazy to type it all...and im using rmd recovery too to flash it... see my signature, there is an option flash image in recovery menu... try to flash your original from alpharev to see if it is working... if not try mine... btw it looks like your file is corrupted
I did have a go with it, but had the same trouble. I don't think my download is corrupted because the MD5 matches what it shows on the alpharev website.
have you tried pb99img.zip method?
Ok, I tried with another USB cable and this time was successful. I don't know if that is coincidence or not but I'm happy with it. Hopefully the RUU will work once I restore Sense from nandroid.
Ruu should work now... good luck... did you use original htc usb cable?
just curious..
trying to switch partition tables on HTC desire GSM
Hi all - I've got a similar problem to that which was discussed here.
In my case I've been using my HTC desire with cyanogenmod7 BRAVO N1table partition for nearly a year now. Lately I'm noticing I am running out of space with my huge app appetite so I thought I would change the partition table to the BRAVO cm7r2 (which was not around when I first reset the partition table).
I managed to get fastboot working on my ubuntu 11.10 machine after some strife but I am stuck when it comes to flashing the hboot .img file with fastboot.
I followed the instructions on alpharev.nl and various other sites to no avail...
when I run the command:
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img
the response i get from the terminal is:
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
I am sadly quite a n00b when it comes to this stuff and really don't know how to interpret this message... I tried the bravo_downgrade.img file with fastboot flash hboot in a similar fashion and got the exact same error message
I hope the question makes sense and I've not been too verbose...
for further info, on my phone i see the following when I'm in HBOOT USB PLUG mode, from the top:
AlphaRev N1Table
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.93.1000
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18
HBOOT USB PLUG
Any more info required just let me know - Thanks in advance for any help you can offer
something is wrong but try pb99200.zip method, place it in root of your sdcard and start the phone vol- and power buttons together
Sorry forgot to mention - I did try the PB99IMG.zip method... I put it in the root of the SDcard as per the alpharev and your instructions.. I get the error:
CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
<VOL UP> Yes
<VOL DOWN> No
I read up on this a bit too and I'm having trouble understanding exactly what the error means but it seems I may need to use a GoldCard? Just researching those now... perhaps I will try to make one.
Is there any possibility that my ubuntu fastboot is not working as normal? I have windows 7 dual booted so I thought next I might try running fastboot from there as it seems there is more support for windows in general... could I use a program like androidflasher to flash partition table changes?
Thanks for your super speedy reply!!!
i think golcard is needed i can't confirm as all my sdcard are goldcards
yes you can try android flasher or you can try that via RMD recovery flash image section there just put your image file on sdcard
I just had this problem after flashing cm7r2, but only because I was silly and did these steps in the wrong order:
4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'
5) 'fastboot erase cache'
Follow the above after fastboot flash hboot image.img and you should be fine

If the command does not give effect, then remove the battery for a while. It had just helped me.

I have unlocked my bootloader again (frrom the HTCDEV website). I can now get into recovery. I have restored my backup which i made before.
I then copied an old boot.img from my original rom

Then thankfully my phone booted ok back to how it was originally.
You can't flash the 1.36 hboot,
coz your hboot is to low, with version 0.43.
The easiest way would be, to flash the 2.17 ruu,
and after that, you could Update your hboot.

thanks for the reply. so where can i find the 2.17 ruu
Also can you explain a bit on the steps that I need to complete with the 2.17 ruu

If your phone was destined for the UK, yeah.
fastboot get version-main
Will tell you which ROM you had originally, so the 401 needs to match.
I can't get that command to work with my fastboot.
c:\htc>fastboot-windows.exe fastboot get version-main
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall flash boot + recovery + system
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it
devices list all connected devices
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader
options:
-w erase userdata and cache
-s <serial number> specify device serial number
-p <product> specify product name
-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline
-i <vendor id> specify a custom USB vendor id
The same also happens if i type.
c:\htc>fastboot-windows.exe get version-main
Sorry

For him it's 'fastboot-windows.exe getvar version-main'
version-main: 1.26.206.2
c:\htc>fastboot-windows.exe getvar version-main

When I check on htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor
I can find:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_O2_UK_1.26.206.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251230_signed.exe
This has matching 206 version.
But this doesn't have 2.17 as mentioned previously.
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_sined.exe
Any ideas on which one to choose?
The one that matches. Hopefully you'll get OTA updates to 2.17.206.x
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_O2_UK_1.26.206.2_Radio_1.120 4.90.13_release_251230_signed.exe
I do notice in the title that it says 02_UK im not on 02 im on three.co.uk would this be an issue? if so its the only RUU that has 206 in the title. Also Is this the only way to update hboot versioin?
Thanks to all who are contributing and for your continued support in this matter. I had a shock when I almost originally bricked my one x.
Well where did you get the phone from?
That's the right RUU.
You can update the firmware by locking it, flashing the updated firmware and unlocking it. Either way your phone is gonna get wiped.
I bought the phone from ebay.co.uk from the UK
I am a little confused by this picture it says 1.29.401.11
Should i go ahead with the upgrade?
When i origianly did the below command i got a different version.
fastboot-windows.exe getvar version-main
version-main: 1.26.206.2
There is a discrepancy between 401 and 206 or does this not matter? or can i now use this ruu??
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
And to confirm the next step, after this update i will need to relock the boot loader and then perform the update and then unlock it.
fastboot-windows.exe oem lock
fastboot-windows.exe oem rebootRUU
fastboot-windows.exe flash zip firmware.zip
then perform the unlock from the htcdev site.
Hey guys, dont know really where else to post this, but i need help upgrading my hboot.
Im currently on hboot 1.12 S-ON, cid VODAPO21
i tried flashing 1.36 firmware and it didnt work, gave an error remote:not allowed
i assume i need to go up in increments.
Trouble is , not sure which ones i should flash first and also where to find it. Ive downloaded RUU for my cid versions 1.26 and 1.29...not sure if you can extract the firmware from them, or how its done. Tried opening it in winrar/7-zip and could open em.
Still not there yet.
Still no luck I am afraid. I have tried both of the below RUU's and receive the error in the attached screenshot.
The RUU's that I have tried both give the same error. They are:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_O2_UK_1.26.206.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251230_signed
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed
Thanks so much to the person who can help get me upgraded to Jelly Bean.
Anyone ?? Im still wanting to update to jellybean and can't yet. Can someone please help me out this this.
You did getvar version main and it said you have a '206 ROM, if a new enough RUU can't be found, you'll have to flash a backup. If you don't have one, check the backups thread for somebody else's. It has to be '206.
