[Q] Fastboot erase cache FAILED

Hi there,
When i'm going to flash FLAUW B7 kernel i'm getting an error.
1. put the boot.img in the fastboot folder.
2. use the command: fastboot boot boot.img succesfull
3. use the command: fastboot erase cache is getting up with a FAILED error. Just failed. No code.
After that the phone hangs and needs to be reset.
Any suggestions?

Try flashing the boot.img first, then flasing the .zip in recovery and erase cache afterwards.

Tried to erase cache but same problem.
I cannot flash the zip file with recovery because I didn't copy it on my sdcard.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks.

Mount the sdcard as a diskdrive in recovery and copy the file !

HTC white screen on start

Hi
My HTC has a white screen when it starts and it says HTC in green on it and doesn't advance from there.
I was trying to root my phone and I messed up.
I installed the wrong PG58IMG file and it used to enter in a reboot loop (reboot, show screen, reboot, show screen..etc)
So I screwed up more by entering recovery mode(Volume down + Power) and I formated all the things that were in the list, including System and Data.
So I think it was because I formatted system. Now my issue is that I can only see a blank screen
My phone is not detected by the computer, either is the sd card using a memory card reader.
My phone enters in a white screen and stays there, so (volume down + power) doesn't work.
What should I do?
Any help will be appreciated.

It sounds as if you installed a boot.img or kernel, i believe that you should be able to get into recovery though, ensure the phone is entirely off by holding the power button until the bottom backlit keys flash and the phone shuts off, then try to get to recovery again, if you do manage to get this far, I would recommend immediately factory wiping/having an additional boot.img ready to flash to remove the current unstable one.\\
remember to hit thanks!

You now have an "empty" phone in your hands. If you still can go into recovery by holding the power + vol-down keys, download and flash latest CWM recovery (5.8.4.0) first with the following command from your PC's dos prompt where you have the needed fastboot files:
fastboot flash recovery <name of the recovery file>.img
Once you flash 5.8.4.0, go into recovery, go into mounts/storage and mount your sdcard partition from there. Now, you should be able to see your phone from your PC. Copy your choice of ROM's zip file to your phone using
adb push <name of your rom>.zip /sdcard
Once you have the zip on the sdcard, you are ready to flash the boot.img of the ROM. Extract the boot.img file from the ROM.zip to the directory where you have the fastboot files and issue this command from cmd prompt to reboot into bootloader
adb reboot-bootloader
When the phone goes into bootlader, go into fastboot (if not already in fastboot). You will see Fastboot USB shown on the phone and issue from PC
fastboot flash boot <name of boot image file>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Again in bootloader on the phone, select recovery. In recovery, select apply zip from SDcard, choose zip, and select your ROM.zip file. Flash it.
Now you should have your phone with boot image and rom and ready to boot. First boot may take some time. Good luck.

Hi
I tried doing fastboot flash recovery <name of the recovery file>.img from the sdk/tools folder in my windows.
But I get this message:
sending 'recovery' <4618 KB>... OKAY [1.5808 s]
writing 'recovery' ... FAILED <remote: not allowed>
finished. total time: 1.827s
I've placed the .img file in the sdk/tool folder and I'm running the command from that folder.
What am I missing?

Please help, I will appreciate.
I somehow managed to install the recovery image file.
My phone was always searching this PG58IMG.zip file so I put the recovery file in that zip and put it on my sd card.
So the recovery got installed and when I go to recovery/mount/ then mount sdcard on my phone, in my computer something happens like its trying to search and install the drivers, but it ends up in a failed message: "MTP USB device failed"
I don't know what to try now, please I'm desperate.
PS: In the PG58IMG.zip I have many files like radio, boot_signed, tz ..etc all .img files and the hboot version and radio version are back to the correct one.
But it still doesnt work

[Q] "failed installation" of ARHD 18.1

Hello,
Id appreciate any help with my problem:
After wishing to upgrade to JB from ARHD 9 (ICS), I flashed the correct Hboot and upgraded CWM to 5.8.4.0. However, when trying to flash the ARHD ROM, im getting a "failed installation" message after selecting the zip on the SD card. I thought it might be the boot.img i was using (from the download section), so used the one from the ROM zip instead. No luck. I erase the cache etc very time I can.
Any ideas to what might be the problem?
Thanks in advance

so you have a hboot 1.3* and you flashed the boot.img with fastboot command
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
then entered recovery and did a FULL wipe (also dalvik cache under the advanced tab)
then trying to install the rom.zip ?
install failed, redownload the rom, might be corrupted !

[Q] Are these steps correct to install a rom?

Hi i just download the renovate_final2 zip file. And im not really sure how to install it to my phone. Can anyone correct me if im wrong?
1. copy the boot.img from the zip file to the fastboot folder
2. on my phone, go to fastboot usb (connect to comp)
3. on my computer, open cmd.
-type cd.. (enter) cd.. (enter) cd \fastboot (enter) fastboot flash boot boot.img (enter)
4. on my phone, go to recovery and wipe factory and cache. afterwards install the rom.
Are the steps correct?

Yes that's pretty much correct, just make sure do to a full wipe. To be sure wipe all manually too.
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe caches, dalvik cache
Wipe data
Wipe system
The rest should be fine. And before you start wiping test the fastboot usb connection first so you won't run into trouble .... Phone in the bootloader and in the command window type :
Fastboot devices
Serial....yes ? Continue ! :thumbup:

[Q] Can't Upgrade HTC One X

Guys i've installed CWM and unlcoked my tegra HTC One X.
I want to go back to the stock rom and dont have a backup. I am running 2.17.980.6 with OPTUS_001 CID. I can't find this ROM anywhere....
I tried a few newer versions of the OPTUS_001 CID ROM, but neither worked. What i'm doing is (a) relocking the bootrom with fastboot oem lock (b) in fastboot usb, typing fastboot flash boot boot.img, where boot.img is from the RUU i downloaded (two versions I got from the xda formums).
When I do the second command, i get the following
sending 'boot' (8192 KB)... FAILED (remote: (00000008))
I've also tried doing the Software update within the phone itself, it reboots my phone, then it goes to the bootloader screen and sits there........ weird. I also can't load recovery anymore, and my bootloader now says *** RELOCKED *** *** Security Warning ***
Help!!
Thanks

First thing now is to unlock the bootloader now.....i will find a link to a "new" stock nandroid backup you can use !
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
Here is a 2.17 nandroid backup for Optus 001 ....
Flash the custom cwm recovery again ans enter it, go to mounts and storage and mount is a usb mass storage device. Then unpack and copy the nandroid to the right folder on the sdcard of the phone. Copy the boot.img from that nandroid to the fastboot folder.
Now you flash the boot.img first. Type in the command window on the pc
Adb reboot bootloader
Then
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then unhook the usb cable and enter the recovery
Make a full wipe there......factory reset, wipe cache partion, dalvik cache, system, data .....
Then restore the nandroid backup and boot it up to check of it works. Now don't update ! You need to flash back the stock 2.17 recovery first in order to be able to update !

Hi Hofs,
My HTC has been sitting on a table gathering dust all this time. I wiped the dust off it and gave it a charge and thought i'd give your process a whirl.
I'm right up to the last step, where I need to restore the stock 2.17 recovery. I clicked the link you provided to dropbox and it says file not found! doh.......... any chance you have the file still?
Cheers, joo
