[Q] HTC Desire HD Error installing fastboot image - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I recently purchased a replacement HTC Desire HD and would like to install jellytime on it, like I had on my old phone.
I get an error when trying to install the flashboot image:
# ../fastboot boot boot.img
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
The phone says S-ON and it is HBOOT version 0.85.0024
../fastboot devices
HT139T202307 fastboot
I do not have access to windows system and think I should have all of the tool necessary since I can use adblinux and fastboot and see the device ok
Thanks guys. I really want to get off of this ATT image!

Is your bootloader unlocked?? Because you are S-ON and that is why you won't be able to flash a partition image. Or you are S-OFF or you have an unlocked bootloader. That has nothing to do with not using windows.

Hello! and thanks for reply. Ok I did go do unlock boot loader routine from htc developer site and now the boot loader says 'unlocked' now. I guess I'm almost there? What would be the next step to root the phoe so I can get back to following the JellyTime roms?

you have to flash the image file from fastboot USB not HBOOT, and in the cmd session you have to be in the same path as the file is located.

Hi. I flashed clockwork mod and now when my phone reboots it gets stuck on htc boot screen. I tried re-flashing a backup rom I had from SD card and still no go. HBOOT says unlocked and there is some errors in the screen when the hboot loads but it goes by real fast. I can communicate with the device still with fastboot. Any suggestions to at least get this phone so it will boot? argh and I am going out of town this weekend so a usable phone would REALLY be good.

Have you flashed the boot.img before flashing the custom rom??
Boot in fastboot usb, plug the phone, then: From the custom rom zip file, just extract the boot.img file and flash it in fastboot this way:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then choose recovery and flash the rom as usual...

Hey man! you really saved my butt!!! I got it working again phew.. It looks as though (as you suggested) that my boot image was not aligned with the rom I was trying to use. Seriously thanks again.

No problem...just take into consideration that everytime that you flash a rom, you need to flash the boot.img.
Take care and enjoy!!

It looks like your problem was a wrong command. The command is 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. You wrote 'fastboot boot boot.img'. :silly:

Hi Gentlemen,
I am new to rooting Androind phones since been using iphone all this years. Right now, I think my HTC One X is bricked. This is what I've done to cause it in this situation:
1) After installing Clockwork Recovery and Super SU. I installed the super wipe.
2) Run super wipe and proceeded to install Android Revolution ROM but the installation was unsuccessful. Not much reason was stated. So I proceeded to reboot the phone and now it just hang at the splash screen.
I've done alot of read up and research the forum how to unbrick my phone but I'm clueless and don't know what to do anymore. I can still get to bootloader screen and that's the furthest I can go.
Pleasse help me.

I take it you did the right thing and made sure you have the right RUU for your phone before you attempted to root?
Hmmm managed to get myself stuck in the same situation here a well as wouldnt go back into recovery. Have relocked bootloader but whn I try to reflash RUU it wont recognise the phone even though it shows in device manager correctly and I can control via fastboot commands but doesnt show when using adb devices.
Any ideas whey RUU cant see the phone?

Remember to Flash Stock Recovery before relocking your bootloader.
wen you are done whit that enter bootloader and press Fastboot then run the RUU file...
DaDoctor!
ya i was one of the first to say that lol but i dont care anymore hehe im just trying to help ppl but sometimes ill get wen seeing ppl posting that exact same thing you have done to alot of pll
Managed to get the RUU to recognise my phone, needed HTC Sync installed even though everything else was working ok without, but although I can now flash RUU's I get a customer number error which I guess Im getting as my phone was a branded T-Mobile one.
Therefore am I correct in saying that unless I can get RUU 1.26.110.5, which is the RUU I need, or get recovery working again by some mircale then Im screwed and now have a rather expensive paper weight?
I manage to boot to cwm recovery. And now the question is, how can I transfer the stock rom or the android revo hd rom to my sdcard from fastboot since i cant boot up my phone cos it stuck at the flash screen. Since I had done the superwipe before all this and now its empty.
Thanks for all the tips given so far.
I FOUND THE SOLUTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!
First Sorry for my French !
So, flash stock recovery first, lock the recovery.
Go to fastboot, and click on the Power Off, screen goes black and the phone is OFF.
Put the charger and the usb on the phone, WAIT 1 or 2hours, led still red, DON'T POWER ON !
When is done, go fastboot, launch RUU, IT'S DONE, battery is good !
Works for me

Cool well done for getting back into recovery....how did you manage it? As for getting rom back did you not do a backup of the previous rom before wiping? If not you may be stumped for the time being as USB mount does not work on any of the custom recoveries so far.
I fastboot the boot.img and also flash the CWM recovery. This steps enable me to get back to recovery.
But my mistake was i did not any back up on the previous rom and now i cant do a normal boot up as it will stuck at the htc white screen. So i believe the reason it cant boot up is because there is no rom at all.
So now, the only way i can flash rom from recovery is to send file to my sdcard via fastboot. but i don't know the command needed for it, so I need help with the command. i have with me now is the stock rom and also ARHD rom. but i cant access my sdcard to transfer the file.
I have tried to download the stock RUU but unfortunately it says that my CID is imcompatible. My set is from Singapore and now I will try to download this RUU RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_HK_1.26.708.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251215_signed.exe.
If all else fails, final option is to send back my set to HTC service center and have it repaired and pay the charges

Ok managed to get mine booting back into CWM Recovery as well now but dont think about sending back to HTC as the CWM guys are working on USB Mount & ADB as we speak so dont think it will be to long. Ill look into fatboot commands now and see if there isnt soemthing we can use.
There's always a way..........

Backups are only half of the story. When you cant get into recovery to restore the backups that you HAD made and then when trying to reflash the RUU to resotre your phone it then wipes the backups but then allows you back into recovery where you now have no backups nor the ability to mount USB or push anything to the SD so and still in the same siutation just with nice blue writing now thats just plain sods law......LOL!

Think we are fairly screwed until either USB/ADB is working in recovery or S-Off is available in which case any RUU should work I believe. Worth hanging on rather than paying HTC in my opinion.

Stuck trying to install custom rom

Okay so I am trying to install the jdroid rom, btw first time ever doing this so bare with me, anyways I can't boot my phone stays at HTC quietly brilliant screen with some writing underneath it red. I can get into the bootloader menu, where I am rooted and says my bootloader is unlocked. I can also get into clockwork mod however I messed up when transferring the rom onto my phone. I unzipped it and put it there instead of leaving it in the zip file. I can't mount to my laptop through clockwork mod, is there any other way? Again I can't boot my phone. Thanks
EDIT: Now whenever my phone boots, it boots into the clockworkmod and keeps rebooting I can't do anything, cant mount my phone at all

You need to enter the fastboot mode ... hold "volume-down + powerbutton" for 10 secs and then again push the powerbutton to enter the fastboot mode.
Edit: and after that use the comand fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Just saw the edit now will try thanks alot man appreciate it!

What you need to do when flashing:
a) CWM recovery
fastboot flash recovery xxxrecovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
b) Flashing a ROM
extract the boot.img from the ROM.zip
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
enter recovery
install the ROM.zip
reboot

as long as you can get the correct RUU and flash the correct stock recovery, RUU will defo work, then you can start again from scratch. I've done this myself
edit: AT&T????? Are you even in the correct forum using the correct files/methods??? HTC One XL is different forum, different files!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright I got out of it using the st&t ruu, though I live in Canada and on Rogers. Data doesnt work but that is not surprise. Gotta wait for a root access and/or bootloader unlock for 1.85. will be patient.

[Q] Stuck in HTC logo with exclamation marks in the four corners

I have a HTC desire HD and i was running sabsa prime v8.5 and was having a few problems that other users werent having so i decided to RUU back to stock rom and see if the problems persisted.. dont know much about RUU's so i just used the first one someone had linked for the desire hd. Had an error midway through the process and not all i get is the htc logo with four exlamation marks in triangles at each corner. Have tried flashing different things through cmd commands all i get it either FAILED..(remote: not allowed) or FAILED (status read failed((too many links)).. i cant boot the phone into recovery either. if i hold down volume when turning it on it still goes straight to the htc logo with exclamation marks..
If i force boot through command promt the phone vibrates and shows white background with green htc logo (the normal boot up image) but then does nothing from there
Have tried heaps of different suggestions on other xda threads cant get anything working.
This is the first RUU i tired but have tried a few others since :
RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe
Have also tried flashing Bravo_alphaspl.img and get the same errors as above
please help
It sounds like you dont have a recovery...you might want to flash a recovery first, and then flash a custom ROM if you are s-off. If you are not, then you need to s-off, to flash a custom ROM.
Or you can try to flash the stock ROM using SD card method.

That is because the phone is in hboot and not in fastboot USB. Anyway, use the guide in my signature on how to flash CWM recovery. BRAVO file is not for your phone...is for desire and not desire HD.

[Q] Locked or Unlocked

Hey Guys,
Hope that someone can help me, I have rooted, installed recovery and custom firmware on a few HTC's.
But this has frickin stumped me !!
The desire I have gotten my hands on does not show locked or unlocked in the boot menu, but It has got S-off I didn't think it was possible??
Tried to unlock the bootloader through HTC dev and that failed, so i thought it was already unlocked
Tried flashing recovery through fast boot, but that failed!!
I'm a bit lost, anyone got any ideas as to where I'm going wrong??
Step one: Stop trying to unlock it...there is no need
Since the phone is already s-off you dont need to worry about unlocking the bootloader.
S-off is the highest level of "openness" you can have on the desire. You have the ability to write to all of the partition that you can with an unlocked bootloader, plus more.
The fact that flashing a recovery failed is indeed a problem though. What was the exact error?

fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
Then u should be able to boot into recovery

Guys,
Ok, so i realised that I was being a major dumbass and using the wrong fastboot command to try and flash my recovery.
Even when I used the command - fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img, the result was the same, no recovery for me and a bootloop
But the 4ext recovery as PB99IMG zip file on the root of my S/d card has worked, I now have a working recovery and no more bootloop.
Thanks for all your help guys

I tried flashing both of these recoveries
CWM - Touch 5.8.2.0 - Bravo
TWRP - 2.6.0.0 - 2013.07.16
Had the same result on both neither would flash in fastboot.
Taking a look through the files on the phone i can see leftover data from both CWM and also Titanium backup, so its totally been flashed and rooted before I got my hands on it.

[Q] HTC Inspire 4g semi-brick. Have fastboot and CWM.

SO I have been messing with this HTC inspire 4g and I was having some software issues on the factory ROM. So I decided to flash a custom rom to it, but I forgot that I relocked the boot loader. Now I can't seem to flash the boot.img since the bootloader is locked, and I forgot to backup the factory rom before messing with this, so now it will only boot into hboot, fastboot, and recovery. How do I proceed?
Thank you.

Sorry. I am rather newb to this. How do I proceed to unlock the bootloader with the token. Since the ace hack kit is so automated, I didn't learn a darn thing from it.

If you used the Hack Kit then you should be S-OFF. If you are S-OFF, then flash a custom recovery from fastboot and then a custom rom.

I am currently "S-ON". How do I proceed?
BTW, What does S-OFF and S-ON even mean? I've never come across it in all of my previous android hacks?
ok. I figured it out. Thank you.
how did you solve your problem?
I got the same problem. After unlocked the hboot, installed recovery, then installed a custom rom, now my phone is softbrick.
I can boot to hboot, fastboot, and recovery only. I cannot install any custom rom, reboot after install custom rom from recovery, the phone stuck at the white HTC screen.
The phone is S-ON.
I also have another problem with ADB devices, when I am in the fastboot, the fastboot devices shows the device, but when I am in either hboot or fastboot, the ADB does not show any devices.
Help!!!

1 take the boot.img from the inside of your custom rom.zip
2 put it in the same folder/ drive or herever you have adb
3 go into fastboot with your phone
4 open cmd and type fastboot flash boot boot.img[/B
go out of fastboot and start your phone up
because you still s-on the boot image can't be installed trough recovery.
no warranties here but i had the same problem and it worked fine
good luck
Lexuz,
Thanks for your help. I tried the fastboot flash boot boot.img
I got the following error:
sending 'boot' (2932 KB)... OKAY [ 0.496s]
writing 'boot'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
Help!!!
Edited:
The error "Signature verify fail" only appear when there is "*** RELOCKED ***" shown. I put the hboot back to "*** UNLOCKED***" then when I tried the "fastboot flash boot boot.img", it succeed. However, when I reboot, instead of stucked at the white htc screen, it shows different boot screen (instead of the white HTC screen), but the phone did not go further after an hour.
I also tried "fastboot flash boot ..." in combination of recovery flashing but none works.

i also got that same problem by using the wrong boot.img.
make sure you use the boot.img that is in your custom rom folder and then flash it (the rom) via recovery (i also think you have to reflash recovery to do this but i'm not sure, for me it has been a learn by your mistakes project).
Unlock bootloader again ..then flash boot image at bootloader then reboot normally ..

No worries on Me!
Hello to all developers,
Since I go throw this discussion I found out you people need some information regarding unlock boot loader.
I have literally no idea when I rooted my phone and install custom ROM and what is CWM. You guys at least knows it more than me,I'm sure but what i noticed is to unlock bootloader doesn't really require token code to unlock using htcdev.
As i mention above you may unlock bootloader via some program like i used it when these all words are completely new for me. I went through kingroot(dot)net,that site is in chinese so using translator i tried to understand the meaning out of it. Underneath that site once you scroll it down you'll find some various different icons for other site. From there I found to go through mgyun(dot)com download and install software. Don't worry its in Chinese but once you connect your phone it will display HTC G10(a9191) in other words desire HD/inspire 4g.
Kindly look throw all app you'll find "LOCK" kind of a icon. Click on it and check your phone it will display yes/no option choose yes and press power button to unlock BOOT LOADER.
NO NEED ANY SORT OF HTCDEV. As I said these words are couple of weeks ago totally new for me.I did that 20-30 times but I didn't have any idea what so ever that why its needed and what for.
Few things for S-OFF and S-ON
S-OFF you have all access because security is OFF
NO BOOT.IMG require here.
S-ON you have security ON
Always flash boot IMG using adb or using fast boot drivers.
Thanks.
