[Q] Unable to flash boot.img - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I've rooted my Wildfire and now it has 0.80.0007 bootloader with cyanogen 7.0.0 ROM. I'd like to flash my kernel but it says:
$./fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (2816 KB)... OKAY
writing 'boot'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
I've also tried to flash zimage:
$./fastboot flash zimage zImage
sending 'zimage' (2414 KB)... OKAY
writing 'zimage'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
I've read that this can be beacuse I have a locked bootloader but others on the forum have successfully flashed it. Do I have to upgrade HBOOT to 1.01.0001?
Please help

Don't even think of upgrading to HBoot 1.01. This is unrootable and you will lose even the basic ability to install Custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod.
What you are trying to do requires S-OFF. Most probably, your device is still S-ON. S-OFF can be achieved using an XTC Clip (Which, incidentally works on HBoot 1.01), which is why there are others who can do it. AlphaRev 2.0, when it will be released, will also allow S-OFF on Wildfires with HBoot 0.80 which is already pre rooted.

Thank You for your answer.
The boot loader says it is S-OFF.
What else could it be?
When I start the command that I've written above, a green progressbar appears on the upper right corner on my wildfire and than it dissappears. Then ubuntu says the errors I've mentiond above.

There are a couple of solutions here:

Since I personally use an S-ON phone, not very familiar with these commands.

[Q] When I flash the latest CWM, it returns to amon-ra after reboot.

Hi Guys,
I have searched everywhere about this with no luck so have been forced to start a new thread...
I am running amon-ra v2.0.0 on my S-ON Desire.
I flashed the latest CWM that rom manager provides and it works... then i flashed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039954
Cool, it worked. But when i reboot it goes back to amon-ra????
I am thoroughly confused..
any suggestions?
Did you use fastboot?
Flashing the .zip is only temporary, to permanently flash recovery you have to use fastboot to flash recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.8-bravo.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039954&page=15
has some details.
Hi sorry, i should have mentioned that when i tried 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.8-bravo.img' i got the following error...
sending 'recovery' (3036 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
you need to be S-OFF in order to flash recovery through fastboot (S-OFF disables signature checking in fastboot)
if you dont want to go s-off (it is easy, seriously) you can unroot, then while rooting again choose AmonRA in unrevoked.

[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?

"^C" was where it was just hanging for ages and I cancelled the command.
But now downgrade is flashed atleast. But that does mean I'm now stuck in a bootloop.

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

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

You would be better off getting s-off. Less of a pita.
You gotta pull the kernel and flash it in hboot seperately, you probably missed this step which is why nothing is working. I'm not completely familiar with the process because I am soff but you should be able to find it on here

[Q] S-off method - Phone rooter by other

I just bought a rooted DInc2. I love it, and am slowly learning about. I don't know the method that the previous owner rooted the phone, but it is currently S-ON.
So, my question is: which method should I use to get it to S-OFF? I was looking at the Comprehensive S-OFF/Root Methods (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751796), and it is not clear to me. Do I use the instructions, "Get S-OFF after using HTCDev Unlock", even if I don't know if the phone was rooted using HTCDev Unlock?
Here is info on my phone:
S-ON
HBoot 0.98.0000
Radio 1.09.01.0312
eMMC-boot
Firmware 6.01.605.05 710RD
Thanks for your help
Only way that I know for it to be still S on is through htcdev.com. Yeah use that guide.

Then I proceeded though these steps:

I copied the radio to my sdcard, with the name PG32IMG.zip. When you reboot in bootloader, it prompts you to run that file.
Don't forget to delete or rename that file when you're done so it doesn't prompt you to run that file every time you go into your boot loader.

[Q] HBoot Relocked, S-ON, Root, trying to upload stock ROM

Hello,
Im having reallly big problem with my Desire HD device and unfortunately,I realize this is only my fault and inadvertence. Im hoping that someone will help me with my problem...
First of all, I've had stock 2.3.5 on my device and every possible blockade. I've used Downgrade_v2 files (with adb and Gingerbreak and 1.32 stock android) but it wasn't working as it supossed to do. I've found nice tool to unblock DHD, called EasyAceRootTool. Everything went OK, new H-Boot was uploaded, unblock process went smoothly, Revovery Touch was uploaded to DHD as well, Superuser was installed too.
And at this level I've hurried too much, because I've installed by recovery new rom on Android 4.0.4 , this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839004
And of course... I know now iVe forgot to make S-OFF, android doesn't start, nothing happens at all....
My Hboot now says :
Hboot :
***Relocked***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.0020029
RADIO -26.14.04.28_M
Ive tried a lot of soutions
1)Install PD98IMG.zip on sdcard (2 different stock roms) but when Bootlader is checking image, it says, that newer android is already on device
2)Install RUU, It says that there is a problem with Hboot and i need to wait for upgrade
3)Install PD98IMG.zip (pulled out from stock RUU) by recovery, it says that this image is "bad"
4)Restore backed up adnroid from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920876&highlight=hboot, from section "Install stock Vodafone ROM", but it didn't helped as well, it says MD5 checksum failed...
5) When im trying to unlock Hboot in EasyAceRootTool, it communicating with device, but then it says : "Your device is not recognized"
Please guys... what else should I do ??
ps. I know there's a lot of grammatic mistakes, sorry for that. I was trying to check what I was writing

Wait, no. Flash the ROM from recovery. You can't flash zips like that in fastboot. You can flash ROM images, but it makes more sense for you to get a recovery and flash zips instead.
If you don't have a recovery, first you need to install one. If you have a rooted ROM, you can install a recovery from apps: ROM Manager for ClockworkMod, 4ext Updater apk (from 4ext's website) for 4ext, and GooManager for TWRP. If you don't, download a recovery.img and flash it from fastboot:

What are you trying to do?? If you have an unlocked bootloader a RUU will never flash. Besides, being S-ON requires the specific RUU for your device.
If you have CWM and an unlocked bootloader, you can flash any custom rom in recovery but need to flash boot.img after flashing the rom.
You can't flash apks in recovery, only zips. Then fastboot flash the boot.img.

What are you trying to do?? If you have an unlocked bootloader a RUU will never flash. Besides, being S-ON requires the specific RUU for your device.
If you have CWM and an unlocked bootloader, you can flash any custom rom in recovery but need to flash boot.img after flashing the rom.

Ok, I was trying to put this device on feet, because it wasn't load any ROM I was flashing. There's a lot of tools and tutorials that I was reading before flashing DHD on xda and other forums. I was convinced, that I need S-OFF to use custom ROM. Few minutes a go I flashed Sabsa-Prime ROM by Recovery, then i searched for boot.img in Sabsa_Prime_v16.0_By_AlirezaB.zip, flashed it in fastboot, anddddd tadaaam...Everythings working perfectly
Thank You gyus, I really appreciate your help !! I was really stuck on this device...
Best Regards !

Hello,
Im having reallly big problem with my Desire HD device and unfortunately,I realize this is only my fault and inadvertence. Im hoping that someone will help me with my problem...
First of all, I've had stock 2.3.5 on my device and every possible blockade. I've used Downgrade_v2 files (with adb and Gingerbreak and 1.32 stock android) but it wasn't working as it supossed to do. I've found nice tool to unblock DHD, called EasyAceRootTool. Everything went OK, new H-Boot was uploaded, unblock process went smoothly, Revovery Touch was uploaded to DHD as well, Superuser was installed too.
And at this level I've hurried too much, because I've installed by recovery new rom on Android 4.0.4 , this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839004
And of course... I know now iVe forgot to make S-OFF, android doesn't start, nothing happens at all....
My Hboot now says :
Hboot :
***Relocked***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.0020029
RADIO -26.14.04.28_M
Ive tried a lot of soutions
1)Install PD98IMG.zip on sdcard (2 different stock roms) but when Bootlader is checking image, it says, that newer android is already on device
2)Install RUU, It says that there is a problem with Hboot and i need to wait for upgrade
3)Install PD98IMG.zip (pulled out from stock RUU) by recovery, it says that this image is "bad"
4)Restore backed up adnroid from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920876&highlight=hboot, from section "Install stock Vodafone ROM", but it didn't helped as well, it says MD5 checksum failed...
5) When im trying to unlock Hboot in EasyAceRootTool, it communicating with device, but then it says : "Your device is not recognized"
Please guys... what else should I do ??
ps. I know there's a lot of grammatic mistakes, sorry for that. I was trying to check what I was writing
