Error while flash RAV1.2.0G.img on myTouch

I am getting following error while trying to flash RAV1.2.0G.img on myTouch in fastboot. I have followed the
downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)
I have flashed myTouch last night using One Click with the Cyanogen_3.9.11.2_32a ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544854

i don't think it works because you are still stuck with the perfect spl. I might be wrong on this. Not sure. Have you also checked that you put the recovery image in your fastboot location?

if you have a mytouch you have a 32B board. And yet you have installed a 32A rom.... but trying to put a 32B recovery image on..... maybe this is the cause....
next time don't start a new thread for this- post it in the thread about the recovery image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492&page=10

Yeh, I know i have done this a few times but you really didn't need a new post for this. there are already alot of posts and a simple search would have found. But anyway
On your device since you have used the one click method you are able to install different roms using a security loop hole of the kernal. How ever you are still running the "perfected" spl so you are not going to be able to do that using the method that you did. If you want the other recovery image on your device you will need to do the gold card method that Amon_ra had posted. It is not as complicated as it looks. but that will get you what you are looking for.

thanks for your reply, and apologize for creating burden.
All I want is quick and easy way to flash HERO ROM on my T-Mobile MyTouch device. I have tried all options flashing the recovery image. Please help!

in my opinion, do not use the one click root... use Amon_Ra's method, worked fine for me.

RUU Updates HTC: BE CAREFUL

--- Updated and simplified
Updates from HTC are randomly released for countries and regions. These Update may lock your phone. As of today, phones can be unlocked again by using the GOLDCARD approach. However, there is a much simpler way to prevent bad things from happening:
If you like flashing HTC roms and have no intention to lock your phone, follow these steps:
On the PC
1. Double Click the .exe from the update. Wait for the first window to appear (DO NOT CONNECT YOUR PHONE). Don't close the application but do not continue
2. Open explorer and navigate to the hidden directory:
Windows 7: \users\$username$\AppData\Local\Temp\... followed by something like ...\{2A3DF7FC-1693-4C53-8883-6CF09DED700D}\...
Vista: documents and settings\.....
3. You should find the install application files along with a file "Rom.zip" (40 to 90 Megs)
4. Extract the ROM.zip to your SDK Tools directory, where fastboot.exe resides
5. open command shell and navigate to your Tools directory (supposing SDK, adb and fastboot are installed)
On the Phone
6. Enter recovery console on phone (press "home" + then "on")
7. Do a nandroid backup
8. Select Wipe your phone
9. Hold "back" and select "reboot system" in recovery to enter Fastboot mode
On the PC
10. Type: "fastboot flash boot boot.img" .... wait to complete
11. Type: "fastboot flash system system.img" .... wait to complete
12. Type: "fastboot flash userdata userdata.img" .... wait to complete
13. [Optional] Type: "fastboot flash radio radio.img" .... wait to complete (note: some HTC radios locked windows mobile phones. I am not sure whether this applies for Android)
14. Reboot your phone
15. Keep the update if you like it, revert to backup via recovery and nandroid in case you don't
And sorry for any confusion caused...

fde

Thanks a lot mate... I will try the official sense for my magic then using this method first =D...

Are you sure....
That this will work? I have made the RUU Flash: RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_2.20.401.2_HTC_Nordic_release_signed_NoDriver
And that resulted in:
HBOOT-1-33-0014
CPLD-12
RADIO-3-22-23-18
I don't understand what you are meaning about the Radio.img file.
And what about the HBOOT file?

Yes it works. Just verfied it aigain. What the RUU package does is:
1. Extract the application to a temp file
2. Use ADB to flash the ROM to your phone
By the approach described in the first post, the application unpacks itself into a temp directory. This allows you to access the ROM-File which is stored as ROM.zip or something similar. By moving only the vital Boot, System and Userdata, you avoid flashing your Recovery console or Bootloader (Hboot).
It implies of course, that you DO NOT continue with the RUU application as soon as the first window becomes visible. (I will adjust the above Tutorial and make it simpler).

Problem
But the problem is that I allready have flashed my phone, is this the way to revert is så I can root it again and put custom roms on it again?

I also want to know how I can flash new ROM since people said that my spl is perfected after upgrading
I was learned that we need to use goldcard method to root again.
In our case, any idea which ROM to use as we gotta use higher ROM?
Or are we able to gain root access without touching the existing ROM?
Now even cannot boot to recovery mode.
So stupid to upgrade it although the ROM is stable and fast but no root access sucks.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,

Well I guess my post was too late then.
However, the GOLDCARD approach, is said to allow succesful flashing of the engineering SPL or 1.33.0009. Do that and your back in business.

The problem with the goldcard method is that you lose the roms as well...

Sir, would you please let me know how to flashing engineering SPL, right now i have HBoot-1.76.007 which shipped with the Singapore HTC sense rom.
BTW: i don't care i will lose the rom or not.
Many thanks!
I flashed using RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2.16.707.3_SG_release_signed_NoDriver.exe with golden card, but got "check main rom verion" error msg.
then flashed using RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2.53.707.2_SEA_test_signed_NoDriver.exe with golden card, same error msg again.
I really have no idea how to flash back to engineering SPL, i'm stuck in Singapore HTC sense rom.

I did this twice on a Swiss Update, which btw wasn't worth applying. Just by the Size it's rom1.zip.
Let me download the Singapore and see what I can do.... But then looking at the guys post it seems the second file in the post is what you need. Download this package and only flash boot, system and data in fastboot mode. (From Step 4. onward in the guide). Anyway I will have a look.

Please follow the GOLDCARD method. I am not a recovery expert. I try to be cautious and was lucky until now (so I never tried it myself, but it is reported to work). Sorry for that. If :No-Frost: knows of a better guide with regard to GOLDCARD, please post!

For now the only method I know is the goldcard one... But in my country, using the goldcard method, makes the magics lose the 3g, edge or any internet mobile connection... =(...

Be careful, by using this method you can not upgrade to Snese UI (example TW). The reason being system image in Sense UI is larger than the previous 1.5 ROM system image, so system partition needs to be re-sized, which the RUU update does it for you. Otherwise you are struck with failed system image flashing.

Downgrading 32B 1.6 Vodafone Magic

Ive been looking all over the forum to find a answer to this but it ive getting many different answers and dont know which one is right. My phone is a HTC Magic UK vodafone brand with a 32b board. It also has the newest 1.6 OTA update installed with the 1.33.0004 HBOOT. Ive been told that i need to downgrade to 1.5 but using the command "fastboot boot <Recovery Image>" im able to load the Amon-RA recovery. Using the recovery ive been able to create a nandroid backup but my question is if i used the recovery to wipe then install a ROM will this break the phone or do i need to downgrade first. Also could i flash the recovery image instead of just booting it.

I have the same phone as you.
I followed:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
Goto the "Non-TMobile 32B Magics" section and follow. It's what I did and it seemed to be the only way to get my phone to 1.5. You have to put it to 1.5 as 1.5 has a security hole in it to allow you to gain Root access to the device.

Thank You, i'll have read through and if i fully understand it i'll give it a go.

ive getting up to the point where it asks me to enter the command "adb push C:\recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img /sdcard/RA152G.img" the command says it completed successfully but the file wasnt on the sdcard. I copied the file manually and renamed it to RA152.img and entered the command from the guide "adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA152G.img", the command prompt said "flashing recovery from /sdcard/RA152G.img" and nothing after that. After resetting the phone into the recovery mode, its just the default recovery mode so it hasnt flashed correctly. Does anyone know what i should do now.
Edit: Ive tryed using fastboot but it said signature verify failure

Re-download the file, do an MD5 check on it and then flash the phone again.

Thanks MilanoChris buit ive checked the MD5 and tryed to reflash it about 10 times.

I still havn't managed to root it yet anyone got any ideas?

The command "adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA152G.img" isn't working there is no error message but when I boot into recovery it is the original one. Does anyone know any why it hasn't actually flashed it and alternative commands I can use instead.
Edit: Also using the command "adb push C:\recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img /sdcard/RA152G.img" doesn't work, it says it was successful but when I check the sdcard it isn't there. Anyone know why this is.

If you haven't downgraded yet the recovery won't flash. All of the steps for non-tmobile 32B's are after downgrading. The only thing that is different is how you get the recovery flashed. Are you still having issues with the sappimg.nbh file from Cyanogen?

Thanks but how do I downgrade first as the guide on the site doesnt have a section for dowgrading non mytouch magics.

Sorry if I wasn't very clear on that! The guide is a little frankensteined for you folks using non mytouch magics. What you want to do is follow the normal procedures for downgrading. As soon as you have downgraded to 1.5 in the normal steps it's time to jump over to the non tmobile specific procedures using adb.
Hope this is a little more clear!

HTC Magic stuck on Rogers splash screen

Hi, So I purchased a rooted HTC magic off craiglist.
It is a HTC sapphire 32A (Rogers HTC Magic) running CursorSense32A-1.2.6.1 ...So it worked fine for a couple of months . Than one day it started rebooting when i put in another rogers sim card ..i took out the sim and put the phone to charge ..
i take a shower and come back but when i open the phone it gets frozen at the first splash/boot screen .. Now i know this phone is not bricked as I can go into BOTH Fastboot mode and what i presume to be recovery mode.
Can some one help me to make this phone functional again? I'm a total noob at this stuff right now..
Oh and Can I just download the official Rogers update and be okay? or would that brick my phone? because of changed spl and radios .. If someone wants i can take pictures/video of the phone in fastboot and recovery mode so they get most information ..
I cant live another day without my phone =(

when you go to recovery what does it say? doest it have wipe options?

You should write down the information visible at the HBoot screen and consider putting into your default signature going forward, just to make it easier.
You haven't yet provided information about which radio, SPL or ROM you're using, so help will have to wait until you do. Include the version names of the last two significant changes you made. I myself have gotten into the Rogers splash screen lock-up scenario after wiping, then changing ROMs and omitting preinstallation of the "DRC83_base_defanged.zip" before ROM and kernel patch reinstallation.
The question of how changing SIM cards might provoke this flash screen lock-up is very interesting, though.
Using the Rogers update is a bit risky. You should consult those threads that have discussion about that particular topic, and tread carefully.

Ok i took some pictures of the recovery and fastboot screens
http://img6.imageshack.us/i/img0075ii.jpg/
My SPL is probably SPL 1.76.2007 and radio is 6.35.07.29 OR HIGHER

whoops image is sorta too big ...sorry guys
here is the recover mode screen

oh, pic didn't show, lol AR 1.5.2 is a good thing, you have anything you need to save on sd card? or on phone? flash rom again after wiping all in the wipe menu.

and you are certain it will work ? ..Also do i need to flash the same rom or can i just do the official rogers one?
Thanks man you are ignting hope in me!

actually try a re-flash of the rom without a wipe and try and boot

look for the official rooted rom from cursordroid if you wish, both the rom you have and that one are cursordroids

do not use the rogers update whatever you do, never ever....

you dont have to do step one, no apps to sd or ext needed for cursors roms, just put rom on sd, go to recovery, flash from sd, reboot

if its no boot do the wipe first, you loose data but will for sure work unless you have a hardware problem

Stock 3.30.651.2 PC36IMG.ZIP Format

Phone: HTC Evo
Requirement: NAND unlock S-OFF (this allows for unsigned ROM)
Format: PC36IMG.ZIP
OS: 3.30.651.2 (2.6.32-15 Kernal)
Radio: 9.01
hboot: 2.02.0000
recovery: clockworkMod 2.5.0.1
WIMAX: 26023

Link: http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/278989/PC36IMG-zip.html
How to install: Download the file from the link above and and rename it from [Megafileupload]PC36IMG.zip to PC36IMG.zip. Place the file "PC36IMG.ZIP" file on the root of the SD-CARD. Power down the phone. Power up the phone while holding down the volume down button. The phone will prompt you to install a new rom, follow the prompts and reboot after flashing.
Purpose:
To create a current base rom to flash other roms without starting at the 1.47 PC36IMG.zip version.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage to your phone! Please do a nano backup prior to using this rom. This definately is a test rom, worked perfectly for myself, but not tested by anyone else. If you have any problems, boot into recovery and restore your nano backup.
Acknowledgments:
All the developers that have shared their hard work on XDA!
Note: You can unzip the file, remove the modules like ClockWorksMod or hboot then rezip the file as PC36IMG.zip to prevent those portions from being installed if you prefer.

I was just about to request this. Thanks!

Just to Clarify: (not that your directions weren't clear, just want to make sure there are no hiccups for anyone.)
The phone will scan for and find the image.
It will take a little while to load. Should have a blue status bar to the right.
Do you want to start update? Volume Up: Yes
Once it is finished: Do you want to reboot device? Volume Up: Yes

Yours were fine and it is pretty self explanatory, but I know doing things through HBoot can sometimes be daunting for those who have never tried it.

Just wanted to clarify if flashing this IMG with the .79 hboot will re lock Nand protection. I've used Toasts part 1&2 and yet skeptical about using unrevoked forever.

good stuff man!

Here is a picture of my Evo screen. I had used unrevoked forever prior to flashing the rom.

The reason why I asked is that when rooting a new EVO,the radio, pri and wimax partitions get downgraded(using the traditional root method). With this, you can revert to the most current partitions all in a single flash including the Rom base instead of multiple flashes correct ??

You are correct, as long as you have ran the unrevoked forever to turn off the NAND unlock S-OFF prior to installing this ROM so that you can flash unsigned ROMs. This ROM has root built into it, so it would be just one step process to flash with this rom to have the latest of everything yet still have root.

Yep. Two different hboot.imgs. You can still take advantage of this information though. Keep your engineering bootloader but still update your radio, pri, etc.

Or if trying it again fails, you can boot into recovery and restore your nano backup. The part that failed is the system, but clockworkmod is still here.

The first time I tried I got a Fail-PU message for the boot partition. I'm pretty sure that's my phone's fault though, as the boot partition has been acting screwed up for days. (Not coincidentally, this is the reason I was looking for a complete PC36IMG.zip).
I flashed it a second time though, and all was well. Thanks again.

uberlemur thanks for the feedback.
Hopefully peepeesea was able to get it to work or able to restore the old nano backup...
So I guess that means that I have had 2 successful installations. LOL

will this work if you have Amon_RA recovery already?
