Flashing Radio using Android Flasher - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't post on the developers thread so thought best to post here.
I'm trying to use android flasher to flash the latest Desire radio (bravo.5.17.05.23) as recommended by the Sense ROM's I'd like to try.
I have installed Windows .net 4.0 on Windows Vista, have downloaded HTC Sync and then uninstalled it leaving only the drivers remaining. I also have USB debugging enabled.
I have booted into FASTBOOT having powered off (Power button, back button) and have connected the phone to the laptop to get FASTBOOTUSB to appear.
I unzip Android Flasher and the two .dll files to the desktop and then open Android Flasher. I select Desire and then browse for the radio .img on my desktop. I tick "I'm already in fastboot" and then press flash.
At this point the status bar reaches just over halfway. No script appears in the dialogue box and nothing further happens.
Can anyone advise if I have missed a step? Do I need to reboot the phone from inside the FASTBOOT USB menu?

You might want to try and flash the radio image directly via fastboot. Just download the fastboot binary, put it in a path you can remember, put the radio img file in the same directory, click Start > Run and type in cmd. Then, type in 'cd C:\path\to\the\fastboot\directory\', followed by 'fastboot.exe flash radio radio_image_name.img'. That's it!

Yep, you need to extract the .Img file from the zip and fastboot flash that. Not going to work trying to flash the zip file.

Is it necessesary to be S-OFF to flalsh new Radio?
I tried with revoked but it does not find my phone so i think of flashing radio via fastboot instead of sdcard.

yes i believe you need to be s-off to flash radios
in your sig, you have desire s, so don't flash radios from this thread (for desire (Bravo))!
make sure you check the md5 sum of the radio.img before flashing, a bad radio flash = brick! the fastboot commands should still be the same however.

[Q] Bricked or is there still hope?

I'm messing around since 3 days with a non working Desire.
I was trying to root that Vodafone UK Branded Phone with a goldcard, but it somehow did't really work stable.
So I managed it to install a RUU in order to revert it and begin the Process from the beginning on:
1.This was the RUU, and everything went fine: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone_UK_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed
2.Then I tried to downgrade my HBOOT from 0.93.0001 to 0.80 using the method in this thread (with goldcard!)
3. During the installation of the PB99IMG.zip something went wrong and (maybe a mismatch with goldcard or the mtd0.img, i still don't know / understand) HBOOT could not be updated and RADIO-V2 also
4. now I cant boot the Phone at all or issue adb commands (I think the phone needs to be fully booted and USB-debbug-enabled for this) so I cant follow any of the solutions wich I found in the last two days. A PB99IMG.zip is also not flashable in HBOOT since it just cancels after "Checking..[PB99IMG.zip]" and returns back to the HBOOT screen.
Here's my phones specs:
CID: VODAP102
PVT4
S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
SLCD
RADIO 5.11.05.27
If someone has an idea where to start, any help would be greatly apreciated. If someone is even willing to assist via instant messaging or skype I would be happy to compensate his time with a donation via paypal! Thank you in advance!
EDIT: SOLVED!!!
cosine83 from the unrevoked IRC channel solved it for me!!
I was able to enter RUU mode and flash the PB99IMG.zip in 2 quick steps!
In fastboot mode:
1.fastboot oem rebootRUU
2.fastboot flash zip PB99IMG.zip
huge thanks!!!

for unrevoked I need my phone booted up and have debugging enabled as far as i know, but I cant boot it...
EDIT: I followed your guide from HERE but the result is still the same. I am not able to flash the PB99IMG.zip HBOOT reads it (the blue bar on the right top goes all the way up but then comes "Checking..[PB99IMG.zip]" and the procedure just aborts.
I think it must have something to do with a wrong mtd0.img which was flashed during my first attempt to downgrade (mybe not matching the PB99IMG???) or there is a problem with the goldcard (i am very certain that I did everythin correct with the gc, did it manually and also tith the gc-maker)
On the fastboot menu, could you access a recovery?

well I can select the "recovery" from the Hboot menu and also try flashing an update.zip, but every time I do this I get:

The best way should find a correct hboot P99IMG.zip and put it on the SD
Should ask to unrevoked team by the irc channel.

I thought it wasn't possible to change hboot until you s-off? or does a goldcard make it possible when s-on?
if you can access the bootloader menu (vol down + power) then you should be able to fix your phone.
Do you try to install an ruu Rom?
Sent from Desire Bravo with xda App. Leedroid ROM HD port inside.
Boot the phone into bootloader menu.
connect usb cable.
in command prompt load the SDK folder, instead of typing adb.exe type fastboot.exe.
place the hboot you want into the "platform-tools" folder in the SDK directory - if its in the pb99img.zip then extract the .img file from there and place just that file into the folder.
type "fastboot flash hboot *name-of-file.img*"
if this works then type
type "fastboot reboot-bootloader"
type "fastboot erase cache"
Not sure it will work though as you are S-ON.
However you should be able to flash a recovery through the same way, type "fastboot flash recovery *name.img*". Not sure if this will help fix it, but if you can access recovery then its a start! Obviously you'll need to download a recovery first and place it into the platform-tools folder.

You can if you are able to access recovery.. or try to just turn the phone on and see.

[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

It has protection(RUU can't overwrite it) download downgrader from alpharev: first flash it reboot and flash stock one

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:

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

[Q] Can't install radio

Hey!
I have a problem with my desire. I'm trying to install the lastest radio, but my Clockworkmod Recovery tells me that the amend script is no longer supported. So I did that:
1. asked google and I read that I have to install the radio with fastboot
2. installed Android SDK
3. started fastboot
4. at first I checked if it recognizes the phone, yeah.
5. I downloaded the lastest radio from here
6. extracted the radio.img to the SDK folder
7. fastboot flash radio radio.img
8. error message: sending 'radio' (26112 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))

The file is not broken, and I also tried it with another radio. Checked MD5, same thing.
I really don't know what to do now. Do you have any ideas? That would be great, thanks!

Just making sure, have you tried using a tool instead?
Also just to be sure that you are in fastboot, turn off the phone, then hold BACK and POWER, and try it again
I used faatboot, and it recognized my phone. It was plugged and there was a number, when I was testing it. But I held Volume Down and Power for coming into fastboot? It showed HTC usb plug or something like this.
I'm sorry, the problem is solved now. I thought you meant the fastboot.exe on my PC. I wasn't in the right mode on my desire, I was in the bootloader, not in fastboot. Thanks!

I was reading other posts and I downloaded revolutionary software, it was installed sucessfully on my device.
In the recovery menu I selected backup/restore option from the list, after selection only "REVOLUTIONARY" is appearing on the screen from past 5 minutes.
Kindly tell, is this normal (if yes) then how much time it will take, (if not) then what should I do. Can I interrupt the process by pressing any key(which i don't know) . Does it make any problem if i reboot my mobile during this procedure.
Kindly tell I am really scared.
dear , I did something wrongly,
after i got s-off i can see only HTC logo when its on, even if i wanna open recovery mod still the same,
If i try to flash in CMD Its says <Failed : Remote not Allowed >

[TUT][Win/Mac/Linux] Back to stock using RUU and fastboot

I had to restore back to stock and I do not use windows. I was looking for threads but all of them needed windows. So, I am making a tutorial on how to go back to stock on Win/Mac/Linux.
Note - I used my netbook which runs arch linux to complete these steps. I have not tried any other os but it should work.
Requirements ​On all systems -
Usb drivers (HTC sync provides them on windows. They are preinstalled on linux/mac)
Fastboot
RUU for your device
On linux/mac you need wine. Get wine from your distro on linux and for mac you need to build it manually. Afaik there a few programmes to provide prebuilt wine on mac.
If you don't have wine, get the rom.zip for your RUU from someone here or a windows machine.

Some other forum(forgot its name) for telling me about a command (fastboot oem rebootRUU)
Let's start​
Download the ruu for your device from ruu.androidfiles.org (gsm one v = primoU, cdma = primoC and dual sim = primoDS)
Extract the rom.zip
Linux - Use elukas' script
Mac - get the rom.zip from somewhere. Sorry.
Windows - Run the ruu. Search for temporary folder and copy the rom.zip to somewhere safe.
Extract the rom.zip. We need to flash recovery and kernel(boot_signed.img) from this folder.
Reboot phone to bootloader. Connect it to your system. Make sure fastboot detects the phone.
For recovery
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
For kernel
Code:
sudo fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
Code:
sudo fastboot erase cache
Now we flash the Ruu
Code:
sudo fastboot oem rebootRUU
You may get an error related to hboot. Flash the zip again.
I hope it works for you. If you're on windows, you don't need to type sudo before fastboot.
This worked well, did it in litterally 4 minutes :good:
Is there anything I should add to it?
Umm getting the Ruu was a bit confusing, but i figured it out. Primo....
Thanks, I'll add that the gsm version is primou ,cdma is primoc and primods is dual sim.

The zip varies from device to device, so you need to download the RUU for your device and then extract the rom.zip from it.
Hi.. thank you for the guide..
actually I am still collecting information in case I need to flash back the stock rom,
but the thing that I want to ask is, do you know where I can get the stock kernel?
Is it also extracted from the windows ruu?
thanks in advance for your reply

HTC One S 1.5Ghz Soft Bricked to!
Hey! I have a similar problem to with my HTC One S. I tried the above mentioned but it always get stuck in ''Sending'' When I try to flash recovery or RUU.zip file
Edit: It's not stuck in sending anymore but I get this error:
sending 'zip' (632094 KB)...
OKAY [ 27.661s]
writing 'zip'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 27.691s
I'm thinking that this RUU.zip isn't a zip file I can install via fastboot. And is a SD-card zip file. Which is a problem due to that I can't mount the SD card. And this is the only RUU matching my cellphone and there's no .exe files I found for it

I gave up on RUU files all together and tried different ROMs til I found one that worked. Also managed to fix the SD card error with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086156
