fastboot write failed - "remote: partition does not exist"

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:
C:\G1\fastboot-files>fastboot -p dream flash hboot hboot.img
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... OKAY
writing 'hboot'... FAILED (remote: partition does not exist)
C:\G1\fastboot-files>fastboot -p dream flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' (512 KB)... OKAY
writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: partition does not exist)
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 am having the same problem, i am still getting the same error without the -p dream.

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

co-sign...

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.

Um no, I could fastboot flash radio, blah blah, just not hboot.

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
# ./fastboot-mac flash splash splash1.img

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

anybody can tell me please the commands to mount sdcard and unmount sdcard via fastboot or adb please.... i unmount my sdcard and have a brivked phone, and i cant flash nothing thru adb or fastboot . please.

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.

[Q] Desire S problems after flashing RUU

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.

okay try to download 4ext app the link is here:
http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
this will give you a recovery without flashing through adb
---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------
or maybe you have not enabled usb debugging its under developer on the settings

As the post above says you can get 4EXT Recovery on your device , but first you will need an eng Hboot cause I think that is the cause of your problem. Got to the Unlimited.io website and click on downloads and down load the Hboot version for the pyramid and the version or Android you are using. Then use the following fastboot commands.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fasboot rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip
This should fix any fasboot issues or other ADB issues because all commands are usable with the eng Hboot.

well im stuck in the bootloader how would i use an .apk sorry if im a rookie and cant get to debug cuz i have nothing to boot off dam im not explaining it well i think lol

thx

No you just need to download the Ub_hboot.zip, then place it in the tools folder or what ever folder your fasboot is in. Then boot uourdevice to bootloader and select fastboot and connect your device via USB to your computer. Then use the fastboot commands I posted.

Yes that meansyou have the eng(engineered) Hboot which means it is UNLOCKED. You have to have a unlocked Hboot to use all the ADB and fastboot commands. But you have to be S-Off to flash the hboot, you are S-Off right? I ask cause some how you have missed installing it if you S-Offed with JuopunutBear S-Off.

Won't boot into recovery

It all started yesterday where i was trying to update (InsertCoin) which for some reason made my phone shut down mid-way through the installation process...
I had to reboot my phone back into recovery to wipe system/cache/data to reinstall...For some reason this wiped/damaged everything but the bootloader ofc.
(Bye go all my pictures, whatsapp conversations etc...)
This made me not being able to boot into my recovery aswell
I still can't get back into my recovery, and i've tried flashing the recovery over and over again via fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
When i try to flash the recovery, it succeeds but when i try to boot into it, it blinks the splash screen with odd intervals, i dont know if this means that its trying over and over again...I'm sort of desperate here...any help?
sidenote here: I'm in linux

you should've updated firmware to hboot 2.22 needed for IC, then you need to install the latest recovery 2.7.1.1 from twrp website
twrp here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m4ul
new firmware here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759131

I have not updated it, will go and do that now,

Right.....!?
I really don't want to reboot to bootloader at the moment...since the update failed...

Apparently i am S-ON and therefor need to obtain s-off, but i don't have an android system installed..how

s-off required to flash firmware or if s-on, bootloader needs to be re-locked, sorry i assumed you knew that! maybe create a signature giving details of your device for future, it does help.
If you are S-ON ---> Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
If you are S-OFF ---> no need to re-lock the bootloader.
Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)
Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
Open command prompt
Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)
Connect device to the PC
In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet or in case it's S-ON)
Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete

Unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery if you are going to use custom ROM.

*edit: I have fixed that, but i cannot flash the 2.22 included y you because it has a different modelid, presumably because my m4 isn't the at&t variant.
Will this work?

no that firmware will not update everything that is required, use the firmware zip in the link i gave previously.
you need to change your cid to supercid,,,,very simple to do
Enter the command "fastboot oem readcid". Make a note of your original CID.
enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" make sure it is 8 ones (1)
enter the command "fastboot read cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]

cant seem to do anything with my data partition, same goes for internal storage

well you've done everything that i done when i tried out Insertcoin rom for a few days and never had any of your issues. so not sure whats going on.
- unlocked bootloader
- get s-off
- get supercid
- update firmware
- get latest twrp recoverry
- install Insert Coin
use the fix miniwhooper posted on her firmware thread ....Flash stock recovery and factory reset from boot loader. It will fix you /data partition.. then flash custom recovery and it should be fixed

Make sure you are in the folder your rom zip is located.
Run the command...
adb push filename.zip /sdcard
Wait around 10 minutes as it will not give you progress
go back to TWRP main page and install, choose SDcard and the zip file you just uploaded should be there.

[GUIDE][S4] How to install HBOOT 2.16 | For first time users

HBOOT 2.16 Installation guide​
Requirements before installing​
Back up your files, your SD Card will be WIPED!
Charge your phone to AT LEAST 30%
Your bootloader MUST be unlocked
You NEED to be S-OFF or else it won't work
You need basic knowledge of Fastboot commands
Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP: You need drivers installed
Windows 8.1: You need drivers installed AND update kb2967917 from Microsoft
Linux: You need "51-android.rules" or "99-android.rules" configured
Mac: Nothing needed that I know of
I am NOT responsible if you break your phone
​
This guide will be from a Windows point of view
Installation Guide​
Download the HBOOT 2.16 firmware file from here: Download from Mega.co.nz
Place it in your adb and fastboot folder. For example C:\Users\(Your Username)\Fastboot
Now open a Command Prompt window and then type in:
Code:
cd C:\(Location of your Fastboot folder)
Now take your phone and connect it to your computer (with USB Debugging ON) and type in:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once you are in the bootloader and it displays "Fastboot USB", type in:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Once your computer recognizes your phone type in:
Code:
fastboot flash zip Firmware_4.06.401.1.zip
If you changed the file name make sure to type in the name of it instead of the one above
You will then get an error:
Code:
"FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)"
Don't worry, this is normal. DO NOT unplug your phone. Simply type in once again:
Code:
fastboot flash zip Firmware_4.06.401.1.zip
If you changed the file name make sure to type in the name of it instead of the one above
Then wait until the Command window says "finished" and type in:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Next we need to download TWRP recovery. You can download it from MDMower's website and MAKE SURE to get TWRP for "/data/media storage (HBOOT 2.16.0000)" and TWRP 2.8.0.1 or above.
Now we must go back to the command window with your phone still plugged in displaying "Fastboot USB" on the screen
Then we type:
Code:
cd C:\Users\(Your Username)\Downloads
or if the TWRP Recovery file isn't in the above location just direct it to the folder its stored in
Now we type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.x.x-ville-dm.img
just replace the "x" with the numbers on the file. e.g. - 2.8.0.1
Once it flashed successfully press the power button and use the volume buttons to scroll down to recovery and to boot into it, simply press the power button
Now go into "Mounts" and select Enable MTP if it isn't already.
Now copy a ROM of your choice (That supports HBOOT 2.16) and flash it. If MTP doesn't work, simply sideload the ROM
That's it, now you just reboot after installing your ROM.
Hope this helps anybody having difficulty with HBOOT 2.16

You need to change your cid
To change it go into bootloader, then fastboot, connect it to your computer and type
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
that is eight 1s
If that didnt work then type instead
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
that is 2 underscores after HTC

I get this:
Code:

No matter how often I attempt it. Redownloaded the zip to make sure it is not corrupt...
Any pointer?
Ah, damn, because I followed the instructions to the end despite the HBOOT not flashing I can also now not access recovery anymore. It seems the new version of recovery was properly flashed, but as it relies on higher HBOOT I can't get into it anymore. It is still in HBOOT 1.03.
Can anyone help me to get this phone ready for Cyanogenmod?

I was able to load the hboot, but now the bootloader is locked again and I can't flash the recovery.
FAILED (remote: not allowed)

You need the hboot 2.16 specific recovery, you can download it here

Never mind, I found what I needed...

Hi, do you have the firmware for t-mobile to downgrade to 2.15? I tried https://mega.co.nz/#!s54F3YqK!QrNjMlieIG65jsaGWS8eXDdLc5FcYM7IEmqTk_pHbFA but doesnt work. I think because is not for tmobile. I cant downloade the full RUU because the download always fails and my internet is so slow.
EDIT: I dont need it anymore, a friend download the file for me. Just a question. in hboot 2.16, gave me more space for my data, i like that, there is no way to make old roms to work on hboot 2.16?

Cannot get this method to work. I'm unlocked and S-OFF. But whenever I try to flash the firmware*.zip I get the message
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
I'm about ready to give up on HBoot 2.16.

thanks that is what i did.
But i though this would have help fix wifi, bluetooth not working since stock rom before i flash with "LIBERTY ROM - The Sixth Element" (that did not fix the problem)
Did you anything that can help ? My phone is Htc one s (actually : hboot 2.16 , TWRP 2.8.0.5, radio 1.20, unlocked, s-off, rooted, and with LIBERTY ROM - The Sixth Element" .

No the recovery version will NEVER affect anything that does/doesn't work on the rom. Since you are using Liberty rom, make sure you are using the 4.4.2 version because the 4.4.3 version is very buggy

of course

The device is just not responding.
