[Q] flash splash1 and is S-ON or S-OFF - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi noooob - first post
HTC Desire with SLCD O2 UK ROM froyo (2.2) and GSM I gather.
I have used unrevoked 3 to enable me to free up more space by using Superuser and a2SDfroyo.
This all work well I know there is better out there and I'm toying with the idea of installing a new 2.3 ROM.
Now I have tried to change my O2 splash screen but i get the error signature verify fail:
fastboot flash splash1 htcsplash.img
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T:\Build\android\sdk\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>..\tools\fastboot flash splash1 htcsplash.img
sending 'splash1' (750 KB)... OKAY [ 0.124s]
writing 'splash1'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 0.212s
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am unsure if this is my problem but I have superuser of which I thought was synonomous with S-OFF
but I note that when I boot into bootloader that my details say S-ON or does the SHIP S-ON simply mean that the phone was shipped as S-ON
--------------------
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
TOUCH PANEL-SVNT0101
RADIO-5.09.05.30_2
Aug 10 2010,17:52:18
--------------------
I'd also like to know if altering the splash screen is reversed, with a restore of the O2 stock ROM, incase of a warranty requirement.
So 3 Questions really:
1. How to flash my splash1
2. Can I restore the O2 splash if warranty required and will the RUU for a stock rom do the trick
3. Is my S-ON or S-OFF
I have lots more questions but i'll carry on surfing the forum for now.

You need to be S-OFF to do that

Thank you EddyOS.
OK - so Superuser by using unrevoked3 has not installed a new hboot that switches to S-OFF, I'll need AlphaRev for that I guess, or another ROM that replaces the HBOOT for one that'll switch S-OFF.
Will an original RUU O2 rom will put things all back if I need to return to HTC if it develps a fault whilst under warranty. I think the answer is yes just would like a confirmation so that I a little more confident about how these great devices work.

Yes, use Alpharev to gain S-OFF so you can change your splash.
And yes, running an O2 RUU will get you back to stock, no root and S-ON.

[Q] Failed to flash radio

Hi everybody.
A bit of help will be appreciated.
I have updated my DHD from Android Revolution 5.xx ROM to the latest LeeDrOiD HD V3.2.0 GB ROM. The flashing went fine. Then I tried to flash new radio with fastboot and the message is :
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' (24960 KB)... OKAY [ 4.074s]
writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 4.075s
Is it bricked and what can I do? It is still in Fastboot USB mode and I have not rebooted the phone.
try this maybe you havent done S-off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Thanks for replay. I had Android Revolution ROM and radio flashed before, without any problems. The main Fastboot USB screen shows S-OFF.
I have rebooted the phone and it works. Still do not know why radio flashing failed as radio is S-OFF. The radio version I wanted to re-flash was the same as on the phone.
same version of the radio might be the problem
i had your same issue once.
you need ENG S-OFF to flash radio through fastboot.
if it says "SHIP S-OFF" in the bootloader then you dont have ENG S-OFF.
find the thread (google it, u'll find it) and it'll (hopefully) work

Yes, you need eng s-off. Strangely you can upgrade the radio without it, but not revert back.

I learned the hard way that a failed radio flash does not *always* brick your phone. THANK GOD. (not that I'm religious )
I had this same issue trying to flash my radio last week. Everyone is correct, you need to get S-Off, yes, but then you need Eng S-Off. It's not difficult, just search the development forums and there's a one-click style tool that will get'er done.
Good luck, happy flashing.
Thanks for all your suggestions. The phone was locked and branded when new. I managed to downgrade, unlock and flash to the latest Android Revolution 5.xx ROM. There seems to be a problem with ENG S-OFF and that's the reason for Fastboot flash failure. I have used Easy Radio Tool, but for whatever the reason it only worked for unlocking. I just wonder how did I manage to do all the flashing before. Will have to read Easy Radio Tool guide and do it again.

Please help!! Major Brickage!

Ok so here goes, hoping you guys can help... I've searched and found a few threads related to a similar issue, tried everything suggested, and still nadda....
Being the forgetful fool I am, I flashed the most up to date official RUU on my rooted Desire with Oxygen HBOOT without flashing the downgader HBOOT first... The idea was to do a simple unroot back to stock...
Needless to say things didn't go well. I now have a silver HTC logo with the 4 warning triangles in each corner
Read that flashing the downgrader then the RUU again would work so...
Flashed the downgrader HBOOT using fastboot... success!
Ran the RUU again... ERROR! 140 wrong bootloader version.
Tried flashing and running various recoveries, boots, etc. using fastboot... all give ERROR remote 12 signature verify fail
Cannot get to vol down+power
Cannot get to back+power
When I have the silver HTC and unplug USB I get the following:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.80.0000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-4.06.00.02_2
Mar 29 2010,21:34:33
RUU (in orange box)
Any ideas if there's anything I can do to get the phone booting again??
Thanks a lot for any help you can give!!

You are supposed to flash stock hboot, then flash hboot downgrader before RUU. This is because hboot downgrader only downgrades the hboot to allow RUU to s-on the phone. Technically now you are still on oxygen hboot. Are you able to fastboot flash hboot?

Hmm ok so I'm even more stupid than I originally thought...
Don't think I can flash HBOOTs in fastboot
Whenever I try 'fastboot flash hboot ...' with the stock alpharev hboot I get the 'remote 12 signature verify fail' error...
Thanks for the quick reply
Well screw me sideways... I fixed it...
For anyone who lands in the same (stupid) position as my idiot self, I just flashed the official 2.3 Gingerbread update RUU...
Flashed first time, booted first time, now boots every time...
No idea how or why... but yay

semi bricked g2 stuck on HTC screen

Hey guys i got a HTC G2 Desire and i did a wipe on it and for some reason its suck on the HTC screen, I tried to do the PC10IMG.zip on it, but it does nothing, it loads and than it stays on the screen (Does not ask me to update). So than i tried to do it manuall via Adb (fastboot flash radio radio.img) and it gives me an error of failed (remote: signature verify fail) i dont know what else to do.

the main thing is don't freak out, cause even in the worse case, all you have to do is send your phone and US$40 to that famous dude here in the forum who un-bricks anything!
so i tried to run the Stock GB PC10IMG file on it, and i guess apparantly its still too old so its wont boot through. Is there a latest version of the PC10IMG that i can update it to?

With S-ON, I don't think you'll be able to push things via adb; that being said, pushing a new radio via PC10IMG or adb won't fix this.
What steps did you take to wipe the device.

my problem is that I planted to flash the latest version of Radio_12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M but without success. I looked for the reason and I thought it should be as ACE PVT ENG S-off RL. I looked for Sollutions and I got lost.
Please what is the method that I can do to flash the radio and adequate with this version of CyanogenMod 11
I used the bootloader method, but I got this message:

did you already tried flashing this stock RUU that are modified and rooted (including hboot-image eng s-off v 2.00.2728) by Phiber2000 from AAHK2 thread in here..
to try that...you just needed extracted this file and copied PD98IMG.zip file to the root of your sdcard...then loaded from your bootloader to flashing it..
hope this help..and good luck..
