[Q] HTC Desire HD Error installing fastboot image

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

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:

TWRP 2.6.3.3 Problems

Has anyone successfully installed TWRP 2.6.3.3 (http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7) on your HTC One? I have tried all three methods on installing it and I can't seem to get it to stick on my phone.
Method one: Goo.im app
From the menu, selecting Install OpenRecoveryScript and selecting Yes results in No recoveries were found for your device.
Method two: ADB / Terminal
Opened up an ADB shell and used dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34 which successfully installed it. Rebooting to recovery goes to the HTC screen that says Entering recovery and then reboots the device for a normal startup.
Method three: Fastboot
Booting into the bootloader and selecting the fastboot option in order to run fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img successfully installed. Rebooting to recovery goes to the HTC screen that says Entering recovery and then reboots the device for a normal startup.
Holding volume down + power and selecting Recovery from the bootloader also reboots to the HTC screen that says Entering recovery and then reboots the device for a normal startup.
No idea how to get this installation to stick. Can anyone help out?

the twrp for m7 doesn't work.
the twrp for m7vzw is the one you need.

I used Flashify from the Play Store and it worked perfectly. The recovery held and was able to flash CM11. My fastboot has been screwed ever since I upgraded to Win8.1 so Ive been using that app as an alternative.
EDIT- Using the correct one as the previous post alluded to would also be a great idea. I didn't even catch that.

Can't Flash TWRP after installing MaximusHD
So I am a noob at this stuff and successfully flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3. I installed the MaxHD ROM shortly after following all instructions that I could find. I ran into bootloop and had to revert to an old firmware then flashed the current firmware and viola MaxHD booted right up. However, now I can not flash TWRP back as my recovery. Everytime I flash it and go into recovery it goes into MaxHD ROM. If anyone has any ideas they are much appreciated.
Also, I have read for over three weeks on these boards before posting even my first post so I have tried to research the problem if anyone was wondering that.

Is MaxHD a Verizon rom? That could be an issue if it's not. Also, the latest TWRP is 2.7.0.8. Haven't had any issues with it. Are you flashing it with fastboot commands? You might try the app Flashify.

[Q] Please Help, very big error on my part

Hey guys, I'm new to the HTC one, and I made a mistake. I accidentally formatted my device, the sdcard, firmware, and data, and I'm unable to mount the sdcard and data. I have clockworkmod recovery installed, and the bootloader unlocked, but I'm unable to do much else. When I attempt to flash a rom using sideloader, the screen will just reboot several times. I tried two different roms, CyanogenMod and Stock Rom, by either installing through sideloader or adb, but again, I can't see my SD card. I need help.
How can I fix my phone at this point? I'd be okay with either Stock Rom or CyanogenMod, I just need my phone working.
Please give a newbie a hand guys.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know, but maybe try loading this by following the directions. Maybe you formatted the actual OS completely? This will get you to CM and then from there hopefully flash again
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_m7vzw
Also, try rebooting JUST the recovery, because then your SD shows up again.

Can you walk us through your steps of sideloading? Wondering if you're doing it correctly.
Also, you should reflash the recovery so that you're 100% positive it is for the VZW One.

Sure, I boot into recovery and use the command adb sideload "zip file here" and get the loading progess percentage and then it loads on my phone, yet it doesn't work right. Also, for some reason, my phone's bootloader has "relocked" when I know for a fact I avoided that command for fear of ruining my chances to fix the phone, now if I attempt to flash recovery to double check, I'm told its not allowed and it fails.

Important: the flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution!
The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot

You don't need to flash the stock recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475216
The RUU flashes stock recovery. You can skip the first portion (ADB shell) and the last (write secure flag) in the instructions above.
Basically, just start at
fastboot oem rebootRUU

problem with that.

[Q] HTC One M8 GPE won't boot to custom recovery

Hi all-
I just received my HTC One M8 Google Play Edition today. I successfully unlocked the bootloader (I see the open padlock every time it boots), but I'm running into trouble with TWRP. I downloaded TWRP 2.7.0.3 from this thread. Since I'd like to get OTA updates in the future, I am attempting to boot (not flash!) TWRP using
Code:
$ ./adb reboot bootloader
$ ./fastboot boot ~/Downloads/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.3-m8_ul_ca.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.251s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.001s]
finished. total time: 1.252s
$
but after the second command, the phone just reboots to the normal system. I have attempted renaming TWRP to recovery.img, but that didn't change the behavior. I have tried a factory reset, and that didn't change the behavior. If I attempt to manually enter recovery from HBoot, I get the dead android logo.
I really just want to flash SuperSU.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Stephen

I wondered about that, but for some reason I didn't find the Philz m8 thread until you mentioned it. So I downloaded CWM from this thread and had the exact same experience...
Other thoughts?
Thanks!
Stephen

A little concerned that I wasn't able to boot either TWRP or CWM, and (while I don't think I'd flashed anything) just going into HBoot and selecting recovery also didn't work (dead Android icon), I grabbed the 4.4.2 firmware from here and flashed the stock recovery.
After flashing the stock recovery I had the *TAMPERED* label in HBoot (which surprised me a little because I assumed stock would 100% match what was already there). Now if I selected Recovery from HBoot I would get a temporary flash of "This image is for development use only (etc.)..." and then end up back in HBoot. I tried once or twice more to just boot CWM and still no luck. So finally I flashed CWM, installed SuperSU, and then flashed back to stock. I guess I'll find out when the first OTA rolls around if the system is still "stock" enough.
Thanks,
Stephen

I might be wrong, but isn't the command "fastboot boot recovery recovery.img" whereas "recovery.img" would be the path to the recovery you want to boot to without flashing? If I'm not mistaken, "fastboot boot" would boot the phone up to the system.

When I did it with my wife's Nexus 5, it was "fastboot boot <image>" (and there it worked without a hitch). In the middle of other things last night I did try that and got "no such file: recovery". So I'm still open to user error, but at least that particular change didn't fix my problem...

Unfortunately non of the recoveries available will "boot" into recovery. Philz works if you flash the recovery. I would say flash philz recovery and then flash back the stock GPE recovery I posted in Dev

Yep, found out I was wrong when I went to do it myself. After some research, it seems the code used to include the extra "recovery", but no longer does.

Fastboot boot stopped working on One m7 since 3.x. I'm assuming they continued the trend..

fastboot boot didn't work on the m7. It works on the m8 I have tested it and I used an unreleased recovery to boot the recovery to pull the stock recovery from the GPE. You can boot the recoveries on sense based roms but for the GPE edition one the ones for Sense aren't booting. the dt.img's are different between the two devices.

Since booting rather than flashing is my preferred workflow, do you know if the "unreleased recovery" you used is planned to be released? I've already flashed Philz and flashed back, but for future use it would be convenient.
Thanks,

Just had the same problem like yours but the latest CWM 6.0.4.8 works for me.
I got touch CWM from here
The superuser.zip file from here
Both are made by clockworkmod
Commands
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.8-m8.img
Once I got in the temporary CWM recovery, I backed up the entire system to sdcard. I pulled out the stock recovery image file (24MB in size) in case I need it for OTA in the future.
Then flash the superuser.zip and reboot back to the vanilla android. Stock recovery and everything else was untouched and we got rooted.

After the 4.4.4 OTA update, I was also able to boot (not flash) Philz recovery to reroot my phone.
Long version in case it's helpful to someone else in the future: I think either my phone shipped with corrupt firmware or I somehow corrupted it while unlocking the bootloader originally, and then I made matters worse by flashing back to a "stock" firmware that didn't exactly match the shipped M8 GPE recovery. Turned out that with that bad "stock" firmware the 4.4.3 OTA failed to apply, so to make the 4.4.3 OTA work I had to flash the 1.16.1700.16 firmware from this thread. After the 4.4.3 update ./fastboot boot <custom-recovery> still didn't work, so I did the flash custom/root/flash stock cycle. Then a week later the 4.4.4 update rolled through without incident, and suddenly ./fastboot boot <custom-recovery> worked fine.
Thanks,
Stephen

[Q] HTC One X stuck

OK so sorry about my English.
I have my phone stuck. I was using the cyanogenmode 10.2.0 whit out any problems. then i accidentally update it via automatic update, and after updated it get stuck to boot loop. So i thought that i can fix it restoring my backup... But it get stuck on HTC intelligent screen. and no matter how long i wait it does not boot to android. I can get to bootloader (hboot 1.36.000) and recovery mode also (CWM 6.0.4.8) but i cannot flash any rom to the sdcard. The phone doesn't show up in my mac usb drives. I also tried to push the new .img file to the sdcard but the adb usb doesn't find any devices. i have try to put new boot.img but doesn't help anything.
So i need help here....
Thanks for the advices anyway.

now if you don't have worranty Unlock your bootloader via htcdev.com after this flash Philz 5.15.9 recovery mount sd card find nandroid backup 3.16.69.3 copy to sd card and restore it after this you can flash stock recovery and update the phone
or flash custom rom

hmm..
Ok So i did all that and i find the phone as a storage drive. So i not find the old backup 3.16.69.3 so i cannot continue. I try to copy the old cm10.2 .0 but it just say: Installing update...
Installation aborted.
At the first time it said status 7 so i deleted the lines from the script. Doesn't help.
So i cannot flash a custom rom, not from the recovery. Didn't tried with console/fastboot...

This rom is for evita/htc one xl. You need to use an endeavoru/htc one x rom
Sent from my One X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

it works!!!!
So it really works!! After i tried to install this version for One X xl (i do have also try with same endeavoru version) and waiting for at least 30 min with the HTC screen, i decided to try the backup again. So back to recovery and give a shot. And it works!!! I assume that because this backup was made before i had install the Cyanogenmod it need the SENSE to work again. I thought that the backup was from the cyanogenmod but it was from time before it. So now i have it restored to rev.hd rom. Lot to learn about this world, lot of mistakes to make an try to fix them.... but when you finally get it right (with very good advice from good people) it's rewarding feeling.
Thanks everyone, lets try not to make that error again.:good:

When you get to bootloader check if it says evita or endeavoru
Sent from my One X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

yes
Yes it do say that it is Endeavoru. I think that the real problem was that i did not flash the boot.img right. probably the .img file was different that the one i got. (10.2.0) Since the update came true OTA of Cyanogenmode (did i understand it right?) I should have flash the new boot.img from the 10.2.1 zip file via fastboot to get this work. I just assume...

Yes if the update have kernel change you must to flash every time boot.img from the update archive or rom archive we don't have S-OFF. But have one way to do this Check in Original section for Kernel Lighter it give the chance to flash boot.img via recovery and Aroma file manager but read all before try something
