[SOLVED] Cannot use fastboot to install CWM

Hi,
I have a Desire S with the following information
Code:
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-0.98.0000
RADIO-38.03.02.15_M
eMMC-boot
Mar 10 2011,14:58:38
FASTBOOT USB
...
When I tried to install CWM, I got the following error:
Code:
C:\>fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-saga.img
sending 'recovery' (4346 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.735s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.757s
Please help. Thanks!
=========================
Solution: I successfully changed to ENG with the HBOOT downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1113820
After that, successfully flashed the recovery from revolutionary's page using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery_file_name.img>
(*) remember to remote the <> sign

If I recall correctly you need to upgrade to the ENG bootloader first

Could you please help tell how to do that?
Thanks a lot!

The same way You were doing the recovery install.... Search for the hboot 0.98.2000 the rename the img to hboot.img (for simplicity) and place it with your fastboot flies, then boot your phone into fastboot and run the command;
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
I'm unsure if this will help you, I'm just explaining how to change your hboot, but it shouldn't do any harm.

As you are soff you should be able to simply update to the ENG 98.2 using the following method
1) Copy the ZIP file containing hboot ENG to PG88IMG.zip into root of SD card
2) reboot into Bootloader, and answer yes when prompted where the PG88IMG will be updated.

Blootloader working..

but i have error.
:/

What error?

It seems that there are some incompatibility issues with HBOOT 1.27 on Sensation. Many people including me are getting bootloops with any ROM.

Possibly bricked my phone
Hi All,
I'm somewhat noobish. I wanted to install Cyanogenmod for my HTC Sensation 4G on T-mobile.
I achieved S-OFF, installed clockworkmod, created a back up, wiped the phone and flashed the new ROM and the google apps zip file. After I entered my gmail info, it was up and running, but with no reception. It wouldn't recognize any signal, so I figured it was something with the radio. I tried to install the PG58IMG.zip to fix it. I then went to recovery mode, and it started loading but immediately would say:
SD Checking...
Loading...[PG58DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PG58DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PG58IMG.zip]
Then it says:
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] RECOVERY
Do you want to start update?
Whether I select yes or no, it just asks to reboot, and when I do, it goes back to locking on the initial HTC screen. Any help would be much appreciated!

What happens if you remove the SD card ?

If you're S-ON you can't go back to an older version. If you're S-OFF you also need Super CID to flash an older RUU

@Voklav

Use lazy mode. Flash eng hboot. It can be found in here somewhere, and but you need relock bootloader before you flash ruu. Or just flash eng hboot and then flash stock ruu

Can't flash recovery image by fastboot

Hi guy!
I have S-off my device by Juopunutbear.
I have restore to stock rom 3.32 by copy PG85IMG.zip
Now I have s-off and Locked.
I can't flash recovery by fastboot (remote: not allowed), but i tried to flash by copy PG85IMG.zip (Recovery file) and it's working but it is CWM.
Now I want to flash 4EXT Recovery Touch but i can't do this because it say remote: not allowed.
Plz help me to flash 4EXT Recovery Touch.
Sorry for my bad English
Thank every one for reading, this issue has been solved I Have changed recovery.img in PG58IMG.zip by recovery.img of 4EXT , and it's working

Use 4ext Recovery Updater

If the above does not work, then go to Unlimited.io, click on the "Downloads" link for the Hboot, select pyramid, then select ICS and and follow the instructions from the first page you pull up when you click on the link I posted.

Just download the app 4ext recovery control from the play store and the app will will install for you

[Q] HTC SENSATION got completely stuck on boot (complicated)

correct RUU 3.32.161.11 in post #11
Hi people.
The thing at the moment is stuck at JuopunutBear. But better to start from begining...
I decided to flash a different rom into it. So i unlocked a bootloader, installed "4EXT Recoveryy Touch" and tried to flash it straight away without having any backup... then the device use to get stuck on boot logo (as i rear later because of "s-on") and enabling "smart flash" on 4ext might help... but it didn't worked for me so i decided to install "JuopunutBear" and get "s-off" (on device which does not boot up any more)...
But my plan failed because whatever i did it ends up on "JuopunutBear" screen.
i though this was going to work but it did not:
C:\Users\user\Desktop\ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN>controlbear.exe -r
======== ControlBear 0.8 beta for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========
Restoring to normal mode
Searching for device.....
Found device... Please wait...
Device should be in normal boot mode....
Press ENTER to exit.....

this is all info i can see on hboot:

As far i can at first i need to get rid of "JuopunutBear" at first.. and then somehow to make the rom work... have no idea what to do next... is it possible to do fresh reinstall for all regardless what mess is there right now?
that is definitely the last time i play like this but now only thing i want is to get it working...
I would be glad for some advice. thank you!

An RUU will make your phone completely stock. As for the juopuonut s-off, it seems like you are using an old version of control bear.

you are SON
so you need the correct RUU based on your CID/MiD/Version-Main ..
downloading any RUU and just modifying the android-info.txt wont do any good (it only works when you are SOFF)

my current non-working version is 3.32.161.52
and the best i could find is 1.24.161...
i can't downgrade and can't put anything custom because i it is SON... so it is dead end for me.
is it possible to put some fake ROM by force (like copying files somewhere or smth...) even if it would not work but which would be seen as an "1.24.161..." when i would try to install it properly?
Just brain storming sorry if i am not telling anything clever...

Didn't worked out...
How do you think if i unlock the bootloader again is it possible to delete the partition containing OS trough recovery and maybe than having a blank device i would be able to install any version of RUU..? Need some sort of other solution in this situation...

Hmm... can you try to format all partitions from recovery and then try ruu again?

Hi! Are you still looking for the right RUU? If I got it right you need the Vodafone UK one. You can download it from HERE That will work with your phone. I have the same RUU and always used it when I had to. Boot your phone into Bootloader, then select Fastboot. Make sure on the screen it does say Fastboot USB, then run the RUU and let it finish. Ohh! And don't forget to relock your bootloader before running the RUU. "fastboot oem lock"

i think i am able to wipe something if i unlock it again but i have no idea what and what effects it is going to make if i do and if i am not going to delete too much (like HBOOT itself) and stuff like that...
is that way possible at all in my condition? is there any tutorials about doing so?
I just unlocked it again. i have some options..:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe catce + dalvik
wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
format system
format data
format boot
format all partitions (except sdcard)
format sdcard
is deleting something going to make me able of installing gingerbread ruu? (because in theory just this old rom is good to my device)
is there anything useful in this list?

If you do a full wipe that's not going to effect hboot but all your data and the installed rom itself. That means you will not have a usable rom flashed on your phone so it will automatically boot into bootloader. But try to download the ruu I linked and follow the steps. If it doesn't work then we can figure out something else.

[RED]OH WOW MATE!!! YOU ARE MY HERO SINCE NOW! EVERYTHING WORKED JUST AS IT SHOULD[/RED]
anyway it is still interesting to me what can you delete with these functions of "4eXT" in the list and if my theory about deleting something and installing gingerbread is right? if yes what should i wipe or format?

When you are flashing roms, in 4ext recovery, there is an option to format all partitions. By doing so you can achive a fresh and clean install of the chosen rom. It does not affect your hboot or your firmware. It only ereases the partitions roms are using. To install gingerbread roms or ruu, you must flash the appropriate gingerbread firmware first. To do so, you must achive s-off first. As you already have 3.32 firmware installed you are "only" able to flash all the currently available ice cream sandwich and jelly bean roms. Hope this helps.

Honestly, do not worry about bricking your device, just enjoy the freedom rooting gave you. If something goes wrong, you can always use that ruu. The latest voda UK version is 3.32.161.(52)? The main thing is the first 3 digits: 3.32-> ics firmware, ...161-> Vodafone UK code. The last numbers don't matter. Always make sure you flash the correct rom according to your firmware version and your device
Btw. You can install roms require 3.32 or 3.33 firmware! Enjoy flashing!

a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_299850qstr7rxdbfuofl6j.zip the os won't boot... stays in HTC quietly brilliant screen..
I am able to get into fastboot / bootloader / recovery. I'm wondering if it's the OTA ... Perhaps a newer RUU ? The only one I can find is outdated and I can't install cause s-on..
Anyone know of a RUU for 3.17??? Or perhaps an alternative way to re-install the OS?
Cheers and Thanks.

did you flash the ota using stock recovery with a locked bootloader? I'm assuming you didnt supercid since youre s-on and with rogers.
to ota with s-on you must flash stock recovery and relock.

Are you sure you have 3.18 software on your device? Looking at the output, it's not accepting because you're using the wrong RUU.
Find redpoints index thread in the dev section, it will have the correct RUU in there.
EDIT: Well... Looking at OP it seems you are using the wrong RUU. 1.94 isn't what you have on your phone.

Thats exactly the issue... The only executable ruu I can find is the 1.94 version... I need 3.17. ( 3.18 was my typo in the title .oops ) and for some reason flashing the 3.17 OTA isn't working also.. I'm assuming cause it's an update and not the entire OS install..
I noticed when in TWRP recovery, if I reboot it asks if I'm sure cause there is no OS installed... The question is now, how the heck do I reinstall said os?
Thanks.

Yeah you can't fastboot it you have to flash it from within stock recovery.
Unlock.
Extract recovery.img (may also be called recovery_signed.img) from the ota zip
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Relock.
Select recovery from bootloader.
When a picture comes on the screen, hold volume up and press power
Then select install from phone storage (not from sdcard)
Then select your ota.
It will flash successfully

When in Android System Recovery <3e>
Device_CW_Install: Can't mount /data
"install from phone storage" gives the following error
Invalid operation... rebooting

Did you factory reset within bootloader at any point? This would have corrupted your sd card.
It's also possible you got a bad ota download.

It's very possible I did a factory reset within bootloader... As for the OTA, it took nearly an hour to download it..not sure if teh host was slow or if it was my end .. Perhaps it corrupted on transfer?

Do i need to mount ( in twrp recovery ) and copy the OTA file onto the sdcard in order to "select install from phone storage"??

That's right. But you'll need to copy the file to your phone first, then unmount, then flash it.

Should I place it in a specific folder?

No you can put it anywhere

I don't even have an option to select the OTA file after selecting "install from phone storage"...straight to invalid Operation error.
ANy ideas how to fix the mount?

Attempted the Nocturnal guide for corrupted sd card.. same result.

It doesnt need to be on the internal memory to select install from phone storage. It does need to be on there to select the OTA though.
Mount the SD card in twrp and format it. then copy the ota over

Formatted and trying to scan / repair sdcard... hopefully able to repair..

formatted sdcard in windows ( after mounting in twrp ) .. Not sure if that helped any... I was able to wipe / clear in twrp also... which seems to have remounted the /data, /system /cache and /sdcard partitions..
Now, if I can only get the OTA to flash....

You have to flash stock recovery before locking.
*edit* my bad, misread. do fastboot oem readcid
no wait.. Why are you fastboot flashing it? Flash it from within Stock recovery. "install from phone storage". Sorry -_- I am in an altered state of conciousness
