[Q] was this radio flashing successful or not?

hi all,
just flashed radio 12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M in order to flash Android revolution HD using below method:
- Download the zip file in this post and extract it to a folder on your computer
- Copy your "radio.img" into this folder
- Reboot your phone into bootloader mode (poweroff and then Volume- + Power button)
- Select fastboot
- Connect your phone to the computer
- Open "Start here.bat" (don't worry, you can check that it only contains a link to command prompt)
- While in the command prompt issue the following commands:
- "adb reboot bootloader"
- "fastboot flash radio radio.img"
- "fastboot reboot"
- Your phone should now be rebooting as normal, with a newly flashed radio

Also on bootloader mode desired radio number mentioned. According to the red text; was the flashing successful? what' wrong with it?
-----------
I downloaded Android SDK zip file and extracted it then copy radio.img into 'tools' folder. When I try to run 'fastboot flash radio radio.img' it returned error that 'AdbWinApi.dll' is missing. it's the reason I was forced to use above method for flashing radio instead. should I copy 'AdbWinApi.dll' manually to 'C:\sdk\tools' ? (i.e. from EasyS-OFF.zip package) anyone should copy it manually? Why it isn't there by default?
many Thanks in advance

seems successful flashed. and yes you need to put AdbWinApi.dll in the same folder with adb.exe or just copy them to x:\windows\system32. then you can directly run adb in cmd.

Flashing Radio using Android Flasher

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.

Toolkit Rooting Question FAILInvalid Command"

I'm confused.... I'm following all the instructions using the toolkit v10.
I was able to unlock the bootloader without an issue, but when it comes to rooting, I'm having problems.
I use option 16 for the build, then option 4 to root. In the fastboot screen, the bottom Fastboot status says FAILInvalid Command as soon as it pulls up, then it goes to "reboot" after the 30 second wait.
It doesn't reboot automatically, so I press the power button to reboot it myself. then it reboots and then goes back into fastboot with the fail invalid command. Then this comes up:
downloading 'boot.img'
FAILED (remote: Invalid Command)
finished. total time: 0.006s
Waiting for device.
I'm at a loss. I feel like last time did this, I had to get the factory image and the boot.img file from somewhere and place them in the folders within the c:/galaxy nexus toolkit folder.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Nick

put on your big boy pants and root your phone this way:

I have tried that... i get a similar message:
sending 'recovery' (5990 KB)
FAILED (remote: Invalid Argument)
finished. total time: 0.006s
then the fastboot status on the phone changes to "download 005d9800"
not sure what to make of that either.

is the cwm/twrp image actually named recovery? and is it in the fastboot.exe directory?
are you typing the command correctly? ( fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

It's in the same "platform-tools" folder that the fastboot.exe file is in. it's called recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-toro.img, so i type fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-toro.img and hit enter. That's what made sense to me in reading that post.

I'm guessing you mean that that's the correct way to do it and not, "yep that's you're problem." Any ideas where to go from there?

crazy... I switched to a different computer, and used the most up to date pdanet drivers, and it's going like a champ.

Error mounting sdcard

Are u trying to flash the rom immediately after unlocking the bootloader?? When the bootloader unlock is performed, the data is wiped completely.. Now u have to restart the device to mount the sd card again in recovery..

1) you will never be able to mount the sdcard in recovery, so stop trying
2) what is the fastboot command you typed to generate the output?

do you have the files in the same directory with your fastboot.exe?
you could also boot into your custom recovery and use adb to push a rom to your phone.

My IEMI number fastboot
y is this happening

*sigh* ...
Op, uninstall all drivers, reboot your system;
Connect device in fastboot to PC, manually update drivers, disconnect device, reboot PC
Connect device again, flash recovery, after it finishes, disconnect USB, use volume keys to "reboot recovery", reconnect USB, manually update drivers again
'adb devices' should return your SN
'adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/' or if that doesn't do it, 'adb push ROM.zip /data/media/'

[Q] Error flashing factory images 5.0.2

I am having this error while trying to flash the latest factory image.
Adb and fastboot seem propoerly configured as I have adb devices and fastboot devices working.

Any help would be appreciated, because I am lost on this one.
SDK is fully updated and doing everything as I did to flash 5.0.1
Thanks in advance.

Can't help with ADB or Fastboot but I can suggest dirty flashing this stock, rooted rom by scrosler found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex.../rom-factory-stock-rooted-rom-lrx22g-t3004110 . Worked great for me. Good luck!

Mine failed the first couple of times too, but on the third attempt it went through. However, it turns out that I had failed to turn on the ADB bridge on the first one, and I guess it was still coming up on the second.

Adb has nothing to do with this. Fastboot is what's used when you're in the bootloader.
Have you tried a different cable/USB port?

Very true, except that it uses adb to initially reboot the tablet into fastboot mode.
It would probably skip that step if you were already in fastboot mode, but if the OS is running, the flash-all script will attempt to restart the device by running adb reboot bootloader.
That said, if ADB isn't working, checking the cable and drivers is the next step.

Getting into the bootloader doesn't require adb. Use the hardware buttons.
