[Q] flashing radio.img on mac

hey guys,
will appreciate it if anyone can help me figure out how to flash my radio image on mac.
i have done eng s-off and radio s-off on my phone. also, i have downloaded fastboot for mac from htc developer's page.
these are my steps:
1. phone connected to the comp with usb debugging and usb connection as 'charge-only'
2. under terminal, i typed adb reboot bootloader ('fastboot USB' on my phone is red in colour)
3. i typed ./fastboot devices in the terminal to check whether my phone is detected
however, this is what i got:
j-n-slatform-tools JONAS$ ./fastboot-mac devices
-bash: ./fastboot-mac: Permission denied
pls anyone kind enough who can help me here?
Thanks a lot.

i'm not sure about mac, but in windows when in fastboot mode, your device isnt detected with the "adb devices" command,. just try the "fastboot flash radio" command, if your device isnt connect proply nothing will happen

i did
im supposed to type ./fastboot-mac flash radio radio.img
but it return "permission denied"

oh its because you have radio s-off you need engineering s-off to use fastboot commands
edit: sorry your op says you have both? are you sure? when in hboot does it say "ace pvt eng s-off" or "ace pvt ship s-off"

perhaps try: sudo ./fastboot-mac
or check the permissions of the file.

I believe it's because you're not a su user in you terminal so phone doesn't detect terminal as a su user. Try, booting phone into bootloader (turn off press power whilst holding vol down) then click power button whilst hovering over fastboot (use vol - + to navigate). Then on your mac make sure you've got fastboot set up etc type ./fastboot-mac devices (or you can drag the fastboot-mac file onto terminal and it converts it for you then hit space and type devices) should work from there if not try typing su once you've put it into fastboot and connected to mac. E-mail if need more support for mac.

my CID is CID:11111111 too
i believe it's eng s-off and radio s-off. still, i cant get my fastboot on the terminal through.
tried sudo ./fastboot-mac and su. =(

ok prob solved!
i had to gain access to the file by using chmod command.
for reference:
type "chmod a+x ./fastboot-mac" without the quotes in the terminal
w00ts!

glad you got it sorted im also glad ive got a pc not a mac, cuz it sounds like alot of f***king about lol

Sorry didn't put that forgot (when I flashed mine I was fiddling with chmod on adb and I think it meant I didn't have to do it in fastboot) well done though! Macs are a ***** to understand..but then very easy

haha. once you've changed to mac you will never go back to windows, androhero.
and i totally agree with you iphonoid.

Desire stuck on fastboot mode, cannot flash recovery

it is S-OFF

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?

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.

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?

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"

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

[Q] Phone bricked, android flasher won't work

I have a htc desire with the alpharev bootloader(CM7 r2). I am stucked with the htc screen with the signs in every corner. I tried this guide:
RUU PROBLEMS
"I tried using a RUU, but it failed, and now my phone is stuck on a black HTC Screen with /!\ In every corner!"
Possible Causes:
- You were S-OFF and you flashed a custom bootloader from alpharev
- You didn't check the MD5 Sums before proceeding, and the download may have been corrupted.
- You tried using the wrong RUU
[5]Fixing your problem
Your phone is stuck in RUU mode. RUU mode is like fastboot mode, and can still receive fastboot commands, therefore it can be easily "fixed". It helps to have a goldcard for this problem, so that you can use any RUU you want.
S-OFF
[STEP1]- download "Bravo Stock" from Alpharev
[STEP2]- download Android Flasher
[STEP3]- use android flasher to flash "Bravo Stock"
[STEP4]- run the RUU again and wait for it to finish
S-ON
If you're S-ON it eliminates the possibility of you having a custom bootloader, and the only possibility now is that the RUU was corrupted or you used the wrong RUU for your device. Therefore, for this process you need a goldcard.
[STEP1]- Create the goldcard from the tutorial
[STEP1]- Use the WWE RUU
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am S-off but the android flasher doesn't recognize my phone (I doesn't show any log line in the program and just hangs) . The android-usb-driver is installed and I can see the device in de device manager from windows. When I try to reflash it with a RUU I get error 152, image update error and a failed with the "system" part.
Does someone know what I am doing wrong? I tried it with Windows 7 And a clean XP installation (without htc sync)
When I try it with the sdk tools I got this:
C:\tools>fastboot.exe flash recovery c:\hboot.img
sending 'recovery' (512 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image error! (BootMagic check fail))

make sure you've installed fastboot drivers.. then try again. Also error 152 means you don't have a goldcard. This is necessary.
Or if you're lazy and you don't want to faff with all that.. you could try a quite risky procedure (because if something goes wrong there's no un-f*cking it) and flash the 2.3.3 RUU from HTCdev.com which requires you to do nothing but run the RUU.

[Q] Downgrading HBOOT 1.01.0002 to HBOOT 1.01.0001: mmap problem

Solved: The error didn't matter, After running step2.bat, everything wenk okay!
Hi,
I have a HTC Wilfire
Details:
HTC Wildfire A3333
Carrier banded: Bouygues Telecom (french)
Firware: Android 2.2.1
HBOOT 1.01.0002
I tried to follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035
But I'm stuck at the first step, downgrading HBOOT
When I run script "step1.bat" in admin mode, I get the following message:
Code:
mmap() operation not permitted
It's because of the line tring to get temproot:
Code:
adb shell /data/local/psneuter
I'm on USB debugging mode, charge only and HTC Sync uninstalled.
Any idea?
PS: I did the step after this one, I'm blocked just beaucause Revotionnary don't suppor HBOOT 1.01.0002

Im not 100% sure if this will work for you, but this is how i unbricked my DZ.
I can see you already have fastboot running in your pc, good.
Boot into bootloader and go into fastboot there.
Then in cmd use fastboot oem rebootRUU
when your phone is in RUU, type:
fastboot -w
fastboot flash zip PC10IMG.zip it will propably give some error message and says to flush image immediately, so type fastboot flash zip PC10IMG.zip again.
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you should have engineering hboot running.
PC10IMG.zip file mentioned can be downloaded here : http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/misc/PC10IMG.zip
