When trying to fix my wimax MAC using the following guide I get the error: "INFO[ERR] Command Error!!!" when running "fastboot oem wimaxrmac"
Please advise on what I'm doing wrong.

Are you sure you have the right drivers installed ?
If you dont have the .76 eng-hboot, most fastboot commands wont work. In fastboot....type: fastboot oem h. If your command isnt listed, it wont work
My desire is stuck on fastboot mode,
it is S-OFF
bravo pvt1 ship s-off
riff: 0.93.0001
microp-051d
radio-4.06.00.02_2
Made goldcard, but all the PB99IMG.zip I put on the sdcard are reported as INVALID.
try via fastboot, but I allways get the same error as it wasnt connected.
when I type: fastboot devices I get the device sn but not the $ to keep sending commands so every command I send reports the same error.
try the android flasher, nothing.
used the search button, read a lot but still cannot get the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to work
run out of ideas, need some help please.
Please specify exactly which error is given when you execute "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"(recovery.img being your recovery image).
Because if you've got fastboot commands working you should be able to flash.
Do your hboot say alpharev anywhere?

sending 'recovery' (4216 KB)...
FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
finished. total time: 0.000s
I read this means no proper comunication in fastboot.
it is the clockworkmod recovery and the RA recovery...
both give me the same error... I cannot use any fastboot commmands.
they all end as previously shown.
tryed android flasher 1.8.0, selected recovery.img.... got "could not find part of the path data\recovery.img"
everytime, with every recovery.img I use.
this is all the lines on the hboot screen:

You can flash a recovery with the following command over adb or terminal emulator if your s-off. I know cm7, amonra recovery and rmd recovery support this, others...probably.
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
I use it all the time.

it doesnt work because I am stuck on fastboot.
adb shell do not work for me.
is there anything I should do after "fastboot devices" command?
I am using a xtc clip created goldcard.
should I flash a new hboot or a new radio?

[enter]
fastboot flash radio radio.img [enter] {wait the ok message}
fastboot reboot-bootloader [enter] {wait the reboot}
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [enter] {wait the ok message}
fastboot reboot-bootloader [enter] {unplug the cable and wait the reboot}
from the bootloader menu go into recovery and flash the rom u want
ensure the img file are in the same directory of fastboot.exe
how u got s-off? with alpharev or an xtc clip? the xtc clip doesn't give u fastboot flash commands i think, then u should try run revolutionary.io i think, after u can flash recovery etc
s-off via xtc-clip.
will try the commands... should I pick any radio.img?

first run revolutionary, it will give u a patched s-offed hboot..this hboot will allow commands like "fastboot flash..."
about the radio, u can use the latest in this thread (extract the img from the zip) be careful flashing it..wait it to finish..don't remove battery or something like that
if I run revolutionary all I get is "waiting for device"

if I am stuck on fastboot and xtc clip doesnt allow any fastboot command... and unrevoke/revolutionary dont recognize my fastboot device...

I get FAILED(status malformed.... ) with every single fastboot command.

I installed the drivers, it says
Android Composite ADB Device
version 2.0.10.12
date: 11/08/2009
Shouldnt it says 3.0?
anyway... it didnt work... I will try to delete/uninstall everysingle htc driver in my pc or try on another fresh laptop with no htc drivers.
Again here,
new pc, Windows XP SP3 with no HTC/Android software.
Intalled the HTC 3.0 and the phone was not recognized
should I try on win7?
that is going to be my next test
follow up: tryed on win7, htc 3.0.0 drivers didnt work. phone is not recognized.
I know it was working fine... tryed to flash it and it died... resurrected with RIFF Box but cannot flashed with any firmware.
i tried to flash a new hboot with android flasher, but it just reboot and nothing happened.
did you check md5 sum btw? just with the error saying invalid and 1 byte...
So you can still access fastboot but cant flash? hmmm...
I would personally delete all your android sdk and redownload it all and set up adb fastboot again, it does sound like a driver problem

What did you expect? Its requires few seconds to flash it..If u saw the success message and u see the new hboot on the bootloader screen, thats all
ok,
now I went to find a PB99IMG.zip with the same radio.
copied it to the sd
power on the phone
and I got this:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
but it is just sitting there, waiting for something to happen?
I tryed to select something but it doesnt respond to anything... can it be that the touch screen is faulty? because it was working at the beginning.
I did redownload everything again.
java sdk and everything
it doesnt work with the htc 3.0 driver, only with 2.0
Hi
Messed up my desire a while back. It won't boot. When I turn it on I get this screen
When I plug it in to PC then unplug it I get this screen
Can't flash any RUU. Can't access recovery. Just nothing. Anyone any ideas what I can do?

Hm, no fastboot. Does it recognize it if you connect the phone to your pc? Your PC may see a USB serial console that accepts commands.
Google for "HbootAnalysis" to get a list of commands.
The gotofastboot commands looks worth a shot. Once in fastboot you should be able to flash anything you want.
The phone reacts, and the computer knows there is something there. Just not a phone...

So you cannot even access fastboot?

This is probably extremely unhelpful so I apologise but what did you do/what happened to the Desire to make it (what seems to be) stuck in a loop?
this is a partition/radio brick
it usually happens when you try and RUU a device when its using the new alpharev hboots that do not have the right sizes (hes using the sense hboot which doesnt use stock sizes)
so basically it kills the partitions. this is because alpharev put that "annoying" hboot protection on to stop RUU's from overwriting it. i love the alpharev team but that really isnt needed
I dont think its possible to fix this without being able to get to fastboot as we need to get the hboot flashed with stock sizes
Stuck on the way RRU
I encountered the same problem today:
My solution:
You need Android-sdk with fastboot command
"fastboot devices" work for me
I got my last backup ClockworkMod on my sdcard
/clockworkdmod/backup/2012-01-16-18.04.51/
width these files:
boot.img
data.yaffs2.img
system.yaffs2.img
recovery.img
...
I flashed these files
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.yaffs2.img
fastboot flash userdata data.yaffs2.img
Then I tried the boot
fastboot oem boot
Iit worked !
After the reboot I stood on this page RUU (hboot)
To erase the RRU Flag on fastboot:
fastboot oem resetRUUflag
And now all is working on my cyanogen 7 NB
Try for Yourself

indeed this should work
he said he cant boot to fastboot though, are you saying you can use fastboot in the RUU screen?
yes i can enter fastboot command
but after these stuff, i loosed my name/serial_number in adb but not in fastboot
my new adb username/serial_number is 1234567890ABCDEF
Clockworkmod recovery doesn't work(only get a blank screen after I make my selection), and my phone wont boot. I'm trying to flash a rom via fastboot or adb.
I installed fastboot and adb using this guide:
fastboot adb guide
I downloaded htc sync to install the drivers.
I'm trying to follow this guide for flashing a new rom
xda flashing guide
when i try "fastboot -w" the command prompt returns "erasing 'userdata'... FAILED <remote: not allowed>"
it seems the sollution for this is posted here. but i don't know how to flash an hboot. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've been searching and all i could find was fastboot commander, but when I try to flash a new Hboot or my recovery image it returns "flash FAILURE"

In clockwork use the trackball to select items, not the power button.
To use most fastboot commands you need an unlocked bootloader, or the engineering bootloader. To chanhe your bootloader you need to be s-off, or do an entire ruu.

Wasn't using the trackball. This is embarrassing. Thanks for all the helpful info, you're awesome.
=X
wow this is funny, but sadly it helped me also
In case you'd still like to know how to do it via fastboot, here are some steps:
Place the .zip in the same directory as the adb and fastboot executables
Double check the md5 of the .zip before proceeding to prevent bricking the device
Run the following commands in command prompt:
fastboot devices //Verify that the device is detected
fastboot erase cache //Not sure if this is completely necessary, but the guide I followed included it as a step
fastboot oem rebootRUU //Boot into RUU, which lets you flash HBOOT, radio, etc.
fastboot flash zip [zipname.zip] //Replace zipname.zip with the actual name of the file you are flashing
fastboot reboot-bootloader //The guide I pulled this info from didn't specifically say that you should reboot to bootloader rather than to Android, but I have seen others mention that you should always reboot to the bootloader first after flashing an HBOOT or radio. I would do this just in case
thehiggins you saved the day
Thanks You
Didn't know I had to be in RUU. When do I need to be in RUU, when flashing the boot or any boot related img/zip ?
Guys my devices into the fastboot I want flash recovery with adb but there is an error like that
