[Q] Why do I receive FAILED (remote: not allowed) when flashing splash1?

When I try to flash a new splash screen in terminal I get the following:
c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
sending 'splash1' (750 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.143s]
writing 'splash1'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.147s
I also receive the same message when I use the android flasher:
sending 'splash1' (750 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.143s]
writing 'splash1'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.145s
fastboot.exe reboot
rebooting...
finished. total time: 0.152s
I have the everything set up fine (imo) but it does not want to rewrite the splash1
Can someone give me a hand? As I can not find anything on this subject for my HTC Desire HD

Does hboot say S-OFF?
EDIT: Saw it was specified, sorry I saw through some searching that you need to "fix perfected SPL". That might not be the case now, but have you tried it?

You need ENG S-OFF, you only have radio S-OFF now.

Thank you very much
I have been pulling my hair out over the last 3 days trying to fully customize my phone and the splash screen was the last thing i couldn't get around

If you don't want to bother with Eng s-off their is an alternate way to flash a bootsplash.
Just put your image in the pd98img.zip in this thread and flash through hboot screen.

bootflasher from the market does it for you. New app. Works well.

I found a one click ENG s-off and changing a splash screen isn't difficult with cmd and nbimg its just:
fastboot flash splash1 [filename].img

Good day!!

[Q] No boot

My dad got a HTC Incredible from ebay and it will not boot. It is stuck in bootloop if I try to just boot it normally. I can get into HBoot, S-on. HBoot version is 1.02.000. Recovery does not work from here. It just goes into bootloop. I've tried flashing various images with hboot as well as using RUU. RUU always gives me a error of 140.
Anyone have any idea of what I need to do?

You need to unlock the bootloader with the htcdev site unless its already unlocked, and then fastboot flash cwm recovery img.

When I go to the HTCdev site and select the phone then "Begin Unlock Bootloader" nothing happens. I'm assuming it will download an exe or something?

I am able to get the token for the phone through fastboot but I can't seem to get the site to progress past the main screen.
Edit - For some reason Chrome would not work on the site. I had to move to IE to get the process to work.

I was able to flash clockwork recovery but now when I choose to boot into recovery I just see the white HTC Incredible screen.

Hmm so your unlocked now and can use extended fastboot commands, that may come in handy. What android version and radio version is the phone on?

This is what I can see in HBoot.

Crap your right. Ok there is another way here is where fastboot comes in handy.
Download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/mtd0.img, and place it on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe, the same place you put the unlock_code.bin file. Boot to hboot with the phone connected to the pc, and open a command promt to where the files are. Then type without quotes "fastboot flash misc mtd0.img".

Damn. I was trying to get you s-off but im not sure how to do it in your situation other than adb and flashing the misc partition. We have pretty much run out of options. Ruu dosent work, cwm dosent work, you vant flash misc, Let me think some more and i will get back to you.

Ok try this download this http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip, rename it update.zip and place it on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe. Then open a cmd prompt and type without quotes "fastboot update update.zip". If it works, see if you can boot.

Really weird error from fastboot.

That is weird, never seen anything like that before. It seems nothing is working to get the phone going, mabey it has some sort of hardware failure.

[Q] Any recovery from this brick?

Hi All,
I'm hoping an expert will be able to help me. I have a Desire HD that a friend has asked me to have a look at knowing that I have tinkered around with my android phones. She said it "just happened" while she was out riding her bike one day.
Basically, all I'm getting is the green on white HTC logo regardless of what I try. I can get into HBOOT & fastboot and have tried to flash recovery.img, run RUU, flash boot.img and flash PD98IMG.zip (both via fastboot & direct from root of SD card). I obviously couldn't root the device using AAHK as I can't boot into the phone to enable USB debugging and adb obviously won't work for the same reason.
I've tried flashing both 4ext & CWM recoveries neither of which work. When I try to boot into recovery using by selecting that option in HBOOT it just goes straight back to the green on white HTC logo.
In a vein attempt to get anywhere with it I managed to "unlock" the bootloader using htcdev instructions but it hasn't succeeded in helping with the problem.
HBOOT details are as follows:
*** UNLOCKED ***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M

The RUU I have tried works to a point and then fails but I'm guessing it's because I need the Vodafone UK RUU which doesn't seem to be anywhere. I tried this one to no avail
Code:
RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_R_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_233505_signed.exe
If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

ok, are you sure that you actually flashed recovery successfully? unless you have a messed motherboard, you should be able to flash recovery image and then a custom rom.
A RUU won´t work as you have unlocked the bootloader. Make sure that you are flashing the recovery from fastboot and you get the OKAY. Finished in the cmd / terminal session.
If you need further help, just let me know. :good:

It always seems to succeed whichever recovery I use and that's now CWM, Touch CWM & 4ext that I've tried. So is the prognosis a screwed mobo?

I want unlock the bootloader for S-OFF and root my phone, and install a Rom Costum.
In the Advanced Ace Hack Kit manuel, it is write: Unlock the bootloader using the HTC DEV bootloader unlock process.
Do you know an other average to do that?

No. but that only applies if you have the last 2.3.5 update in your inspire. Then, you are in the right way, if not there's no need to unlock it. Regarding the fail message, seems that the file unlock token is not ok. Do you have a md5sum to check?

dont know if this is relevant, but my dhd was on 2.3.5 when i ran the hack kit and i didnt use htc dev, yet im rooted and s-off

No it is not relevant. You are not supposed to unlock the bootloader. That is just for Inspire's running the lastest at&t build. All other builds are mainly supported.

Well, I'm going to test put S-OFF and root my HDH With Advanced Ace Hack Kit without unlock
Edit:!
I try, but it Fail: AAHK say to me: Read the Effen Manuel! Don't Watch the TV!
Have I to unlock the bootloader or not?
I am on Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.0.

So, now, I can run the AAHK, but he says to me: You have to Dowgroad.
When I put the PD98IMG on my SdCard and run into the bootloader, my HDH says: Update fail! Main Version is older!
What can I do >< ?
