Hi,
I want to change the first screen when I turn on my htc magic(HBOOT-1.33.0008, PVT 32A).
But when I using this command on my PC (Phone have entered fastboot mode):
---------------------------------------
fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565
---------------------------------------
I got a error, it say:
------------------------
sending 'splash1' (300 KB)... OKAY
writing 'splash1'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
------------------------
I don't want to flash a modded SPL, so, is there a way to flash the splash1 partition by Recovery mode?
Thanks in advance!
You need an engeneering SPL or HBOOT to do this.

I have the same problem
I thought I had the eng SPL uploaded but stll the same error message. Could it be that im following the G1 method and its different to the G2/magic/sapphire?
HBOOT-1.33.0008 is not a modded or an engenieering SPL.

I know the HBOOT-1.33.0008 is a original SPL. I'd like to know if I can flash the splash1 partition by Recovery mode.
I think you can't apply any update.zip (like roms, recoveries...) unless you change your SPL but I'm not sure.

No, you can apply updates and flash recoveries without flashing SPL. You need the updated SPL to flash a nandroid backup, or presumably, the splash1 screen.

You can use the pimped out recovery image to flash a nandroid backup, and just start the pimped out recovery image via fastboot. No flashing of SPL or recovery needed for restoring nandroid.

a friend of mine sent me an hboot and radio image to update on my g1. he's got a dev phone, and he was able to use fastboot to flash these images...i've got a t-mobile g1 with JFv1.41 and the Engineering SPL, but fastboot will not flash these images on my phone...i've also tried this with HardSPL - no dice. also, i've made sure to install the USB drivers, and my g1 is being recognized by my pc in fastboot mode...here are the errors i get when i run fastboot:

I've done quite a bit of searching but nothing seems to come up regarding the "partition does not exist" error. is there a way for me to resolve this, or is it simply that i have a t-mobile g1 and not a dev phone?
thanks

I'm getting this for fastboot flash hboot as well
a few weeks ago I used fastboot to flash a radio image and it worked just fine.
Bump. I'm having this issue as well and can't find any hints about how to fix it.
I'm having the same problem with adp1

did anyone ever figure out what the problem here was?
If so, they haven't shared...
same prob
I had this same problem several months ago. I was able to solve it myself using the search function. But in case anyone is interested it has to do with a perfected spl. You have to flash at least an engineering spl with S=Off in order to fastboot flash.

That is because the 0.95.x000 SPL's do not have the hboot partition mapped.
You need to do one of two things;
1) first recovery-update to 1.33.2003 (note the "3". This is NOT a "5".) -- the "2003" spl has the hboot partition mapped.
2) ERASE your recovery partition (and test that it is erased by trying to boot into recovery -- it should boot into FASTBOOT), and then recovery-update to whatever SPL you prefer. I know, this sounds impossible -- just how do you boot recovery if your recovery is empty? By "fastboot boot recovery.img".
Either of these approaches should be fine.

What do you think?
It sounds logical enough, but I thought HardSPL should be able to flash the radio without any issues?
That's what I was following in the Cyanogen wiki:
(HardSPL/Engineering Spl Users) Radio installations can be had by fastboot flash radio radio.img after extracting radio.img from the .zip

I'm rooted and already on CM 4 with HardSPL installed. I remember using fastboot to flash something a while back but it's been a long time since I've played with modding my G1.
EDIT: I went ahead and just used recovery to install the radio. Thanks anyways!
I have downlaoded the fastboot binary for my mac from here:
http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
because It never turned up in my android sdk

EDIT: worked out it was a typo! that splash should be splash1.

You can find a compatible dreaimg.nbh, put it on sdcard, and flash that through bootloader, but other than that, you can't do anything with a bricked phone, aside from jtag.
My device came with verion 1.13.009 of the SHIP SPL.
Using fastboot, I can boot into Amon_RA's recovery, and from there I can flash unsigned images of HTC official system (created by nandroid on my wife's phone.)
As those images are unsigned, they can not be flashed directly from the SPL.
So, does the SHIP SPL only disallows flashing? Or is it only working because I flash an unsigned image of a signed ROM?
If the answer is yes, I don't see why I'd have to replace my SPL with an engineering one, when I could simply boot into the rooted recovery and flash from there.
Or do the boot/system partitions also get verified on boot?
Curious if its possible to create your own custom splash screen on a rooted MyTouch 3G Limited Edition (Fender).
I know you can do fastboot flash Splash1 Somefile.nb , but how do you create the splash file?

was not aware 0013 is perfected, is the only SPL I could find that works for the Fender/MT3G 1.2 (I thought 0006 and 0009 were perfected)
Anyway to do it via ADB?
Hi Guys.
Before i start i want to mention that i searched everywhere and basically all these technical guide's and terms makes me even more confused and i don't really know what to do with this problem i have.
Ok here we go, last night i S-Off and Rooted my cousin's HTC Desire S with (revolutionary-0.4pre4 and Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed).
-Revolutionary-
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
Mar 10 2011, 14:58:38
So far so good, this all worked fine. No problems.
After that i installed the "RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed"
It was successfully flashed but here is where the problems started, after this i got the famous "stuck on white background with green HTC Logo"
Now to make things worse, i cannot access SD Card from the phone and it will not recognize my phone anymore from my PC (with ADB drivers installed).
The only thing that does work and recognize my phone is the "Fastboot USB" mode on my phone along with the "
ROM Upgrade Utility (RUU) - Aruwizard.exe"
I got a tons of errors and problems.
1. HBOOT gives
SD Checking...
Loading... [PG88DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading... [PG88DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading... [PG88IMG.zip]
2. in Recovery menu the following problems occur
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Wipe data/factory reset gives
E:Can't open /data/cwpkg.zip
E:Can't open /data/cw.prop
E:Can't open /cache/cwpkg.zip
E:Can't open /cache/cw.prop
Apply update from sdcard gives
-Invalid Operation-
Also i seem to have lost a few options in recovery after the RUU like "install zip from sd card" etc
My question is : Is there anything that can fix this or did the RUU bricked it completely?
I believe before flashing you were supposed to do a downgrade HBOOT using ENG HBOOT
Atleast thats what i did!
Revolutionary hboot has protection to prevent it from being overwritten, the way to change the hboot is to write it through recovery, but you also need to flash a recovery option (if none is available), through fastboot.
Basically, check if CWM or EXT4 are installed, if yes flash hboot through recovery (see the last 10 pages of the ENG HBOOT thread), if no, flash recovery through fastboot (see google), once recovery is installed, flash hboot, then proceed with RUU.
I tried this as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958968
But no luck either

Problem now is, when i select "Recovery" from the hboot menu.. it gets stuck also at the White background / green HTC Logo screen. so now my recovery part is broken also?
Its all working now, i used the wrong recovery image at first.
I got clockwork recovery to work and from there i could do the HBOOT ENG and a pre-rooted RUU
xAutobot and Zeekiz, thanks for your help. Much appreciated!
wut?

i have exactly the same problem but i do not understand what you did to fix it...
do i need a program for my pc? what recovery did you use? just a simple explanation of what you did because im worried i cant get my phone to work again and im not necessarily a tecnitian... please
I can't remember anymore tbh its been a long time since i did this.
But it had something to do with the right recovery file for your phone i think.
at the clockworkmod rom manager website you can download it.

What you need is, first:
- change the revolutionary hboot for an engineering hboot to allow RUU to overwrite it.
--> https://www.box.com/s/8a14444cd1dc4c91f077
This file contains both original and overalpharevx .img (6.98.2000) you should use this one first. You could use fastboot, android flasher or the PG88IMG.zip (the easy way) included to do that.
when it's done you can safely run the RUU and go back to stock (s-on)
or
you can flash 4ext or clockworkmod using fastboot and enjoy your custom rom.

@sagarda : You forgot a very important thing... He unlocked his phone using HTC dev site. That means the boot is still locked. So the kernel is still preserved from the old ROM, which is incompatible with the ROM he's flashed now, and this is never going to allow the phone to boot up with this new ROM.
So he has to flash boot.img separately from fastboot. I know you were only trying to help, but it's best to only give advice that you have actually tried yourself, otherwise you may end up bricking someone's phone trying to help him.
As for @igorICS, you need to extract boot.img from the ROM zip, and flash it separately using fastboot if you want to boot up this new ROM. And please learn to do some reading before taking the plunge, rather than later...
i pulled battery again and i enered recovery somehow, and recived message,

Just add a \ between Desktop and boot.img!
I try not to use desktop for cmd purposes...
Just to be 100% sure, follow the steps below:
1. Make a new folder in C:\ called boot
2. Now place the boot.img in the folder you created (C:\boot)
3. Now, using fastboot, type the following at the command prompt (for you, i see that it is C:\Android) ----- fastboot flash boot C:\boot\boot.img
4. Once you get a confirmation of a successful flash, type adb reboot
5. That's it. Enjoy your new ROM !
