[Q] [SOLVED] Why can't flash in fastbbot?

Hi!
First sorry for my english...
So my problem is the next:
I've got a HTC Vision, i'm done with the rooting and s-off by using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...Phone.2C_Set_SuperCID.2C_and_Turn_Radio_S-OFF
Everything went fine, now i can get su in term emulator, i see s-off in fastboot, but when i try to flash recovery or splash screen i always get errors like this: (with splash.img it's the same)
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4442 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.779s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.780s
I have no idea where should i start debugging...
I'm running Virtuous 1.0.1 and i'v got a modded cwm recovery (3.0.0.5) to charge with power off
Anyone can help me please?
EDIT:
In the wiki i read this:
"Assuming you've backed up your phone with Clockwork's nandroid, you can install the engineering HBOOT (bootloader), which among other things allows you to use fastboot flash (or flashing-over-usb from your computer). This is unnecessary for most users but provides additional functionality for developers. "
Is this mean i can't flash via fastboot without eng hboot?
Sorry if it's a noob question but it seems much difficult like with the normal desire.....

Yes you need the ENG. Hboot to push commands in fastboot.

I was thinking the same thing but I'm not sure, and i don't wanted to brick my new favourite

If you want to flash recovery without the ENG HBOOT you can use this method:

somewhere else i found a solution to flash recovery in shell, and found one to flash splash img in shell too, but thanks...
my problew was only the eng hboot.... before the Vision i had a Bravo, and with that there was everything is simple... unrEVOked to root(1 click), alpharev to s-off(1 click again)... after those i can did everything....
the eng boot is new for me (in android), but now i know what can i do with it and what can i do without it.... but maybe the most important, i know, i can do almost everything without it, the only thing i have to do is to go on a longer way

[Q] Problem with New ClockWorkMod ROM in my HTC Desire

Morning,
Please recently i have flashed a new Custom ROM in my HTC Desire A8181 that i found in ClockWorkMod web site!!! I flashed it in my phone with Rom Manager Premium v4 because more recent ROM Manager didn't install in my HTC Desire with Android 2.1 update 1. The Recovery that i used is one which installed by unrevoked3! The Problem is after installation of new ROM my phone doesn't boot well! It show the first white screen with HTC writed on it after it's showing black screen with ANDROID writed on it and stop there! No more action!!! I don't understand!!!
My radio is 4.05.00.11
HBOOT 0.75.0000
S-ON
I can't pass in S-OFF because revolutionnary doesn't work with my model HBOOT! How can i do! I wonder if it's possible to reinstall a new ROM in Recovery mode!!!

use bortak's troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of Q&A
you'll need to RUU, recommend the 2.3.3 GB one. then use revolutionary to s-off. afterwards flash 4ext recovery (see my sig), it's better and can partition your sd card properly. then full wipe and flash a new rom.
uninstall rom manager, do not use it on this phone, it is bad for desire. it may be the reason you're having these problems in the first place.

Problem with fastboot or bootloader!
Please, i can't use fastboot in my PC well! When i try some instruction like flash my hboot to a newer in fastboot SDK because my hboot is too old to be S-OFF by revolutionnary I got an error! It say it can verify the signature of my bootloader! That's what writen in my command!
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphasspl.img
sending 'hboot' (512KB)...
OKAY [ 0.095s]
writing 'hboot'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote:signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 0.169s
It does same thing i try to erase system,boot or userdata!Please help!

slow down, have you even followed the guide?
- have you installed the fastboot drivers in order to be able to use it.
- you can't flash an hboot unless you are s-off
- run the 2.3.3 RUU like i said, then s-off using revolutionary
try the guide again..

Okay! Thanks i think that Download RUU Froyo like it says in the tread is the most way for me to resolve my problem!!!

[Q] desire z problems(unlocked, but somehow still s-on, no working rom)

This is my first time trying to get a custom rom working so bear with me.
situation:
rooted = yes , unlocked = yes , S-ON!
clockworkmod working, but cant get any rom installed. (no custon , no stock)
no rom on phone atm.
fastboot or hboot dosent let me install anything. (cant write to boot partition)
i have a micro sd reader so i can put roms on sd, but cant seem to get any installed.
now i dont know how to get s-off without having a working rom on my phone.
info:
vision pvt ship s-on
hboot-0.85.0015
clockworkmod recovery v5.8.1.0
Ill try to explain how i got here.
So firstly I relised that I had to unlock my phone and to do that i had to downgrade it first to get it to a correct version.
I used this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
Everything went well but the desire z PC10IMG.zip: links didnt work so i found somewhere a working one.
Got the phone unlocked via htcdev.com
Then i got cocky.
I got a custom rom and downloaded it and put it on my sd.
Went to clockworkmod and tried to install it.
It didnt work, cause only THEN i realised that i had s-on still somehow. (i may have used 2 or 3 different guides at the same time cause some were old and links broken)

Then your not flashing the kernel correctly. Being your still s-on you need to flash ROM via recovery than kernel via fastboot
So pick out any custom ROM you want and put it on SD
Now boot to recovery and wipe all then flash it
Now boot to bootloader to flash kernel
This is extracted from that ROM you flashed its the boot.img
Now in fastboot mode you need to type in cmd/terminal
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now
fastboot reboot
Now you'll be in custom ROM and then you can go through the process of obtaining s-off which I highly recommend
If any of this troubles you let me know, but be sure to give full input/output from terminal here if something fails
Happy flashing!

It worked!
Thank you! times a million
Now I have more than a brick again.

No problem, please read through this

To learn the ins and outs of your phone, and seriously consider s-off now so you won't have to **** around with fastboot flashing kernels each time you want a new ROM
To gain s-off the proper way you will need to downgrade and then follow the wiki, lunks for all this and more in the thread above
Happy flashing!

[Q] Updating bootloader und er CM12

Okay guys i think i really ****ed up this time...
A few weeks ago I got so excited about the release of lollipop I installed a port the first day it was available... It went well and I got everything working on first try even battery was good on this one...
Now to the problem: I wanted to update today by installing cm12 on my HTC (international), after downloading it I went full chuck Norris and made a full while without making a Nandroid backup... So i go to install from SD and select the cm12 zip and an error occurs: you need bootloader 3.18.00 or so...
OK I thought just install the old room that worked.. ****... I deleted it a while ago when reseting my PC and I don't know which one it was... Tried 4 different rooms now and every one tells me to update my bootloader..
Does anyone know how to update the bootloader under cm 12 and with s-on?? Tried installing a sense rom but they don't work (no WiFi, no data nothing) I think it's because of the partitions under cm11 and 12...
I searched everywhere but can't find anything that works.. Pleaaase help me
Thx

Witch recovery version ?
You could fastboot flash a different recovery like Philz touch recovery put a backup from @Mr Hofs thread on your external sdcard and restore from it.or using a different recovery try a stock ROM

I tried a stock rom (Revolution) but nothing worked because the partitions were wrong (i think)...
Do you think installing a backup through Philz will work?
[Edit] can't find mentioned backup, do you have a link maybe? [Edit]
[Edit 2] Do you think one of those will work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 [Edit]

@AustrianAtheist
Your trying to use a stock recovery to flash a ROM?
Twrp is 2.8.4.0 right now,if your having partition issues than try a GPE ROM using a custom recovery

Are you using the original unlock.bin file or have you tried going through HTC website again.
I know you want it fixed ASAP but I need the information

I'm an idiot...
Des i downloaded the .bin file again but I didn't move the file to the adb directory... God... I'm so embarrassed right now
I made it through the unlock process again and installed twrp again and now that I'm on 3.18 hboot I managed to install cm12
But sadly I can't install a 4.4 sense ROM because there's no RUU for my cid (austria) so I can't update further, but at least I got cm12 running
Thx dude
:good:

Well just wait till Sunshine is updated and you can S-OFF to do whatever you want. Am glad you figured it out though
