I need some info. Can someone with a Nexus S do those two commands in fastboot please? They'll just print text.
1. fastboot oem h fastboot oem ?
2. fastboot oem listpartition
Thanks!
$ fastboot-mac oem h
... FAILED (remote: Invalid Argument)
$ fastboot-mac oem listpartition
... FAILED (remote: Invalid Argument)
Bootloader unlocked?
I got the same. i9023 with i9020XXKL1 bootloader (unlocked).

Just tried it out of curiosity and got the same results. Bootloader unlocked.
Strange...
fastboot oem ?
Click to expand...

then?
No output on fastboot oem -- just brings me back to the prompt. Unlocked bootloader BTW.
I meant to tyoe "fastboot oem ?" not "fastboot oem"
$ fastboot-mac oem ?
... FAILED (remote: Invalid Argument)
maybe you need some drivers to make Mac to recognize your phone. just like on linux I should first add a rule to somewhere, then the fastboot connected my nexus s.
Try this link. http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-new/
It shows on a Mac as well.

I'm not sure why its not working need a bit more info but why not just rename to PG58IMG and flash through hboot?
Or use 4ext app from playstore

You are s-off but your bootloader is locked. Unlock bootloader via HTC dev and the problem should be fixed.

Hi,
If you are s-off,then do NOT use HTCDEV.
This will probably screw up your phone.
@aranna
If you have a locked bootloader look HERE
Use the :
HBoot 1.27.1100 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100)

Hmm...that happened to me after I s-offed my sensation and all I did to fix it was to unlock it via htc dev...i guess i did it the wrong way, but nothing bad happened to my phone though...

Hi,
I am glad nothing bad happened to your phone.
But I have seen many instances of problems caused by using HTCDEV with s-off.
Kohr-Ah's solution is simple and effective.
Hum... i hope i understand well.. Here my complete current data
HBOOT 1.29
version-main: 3.33.401.153
cid: HTC__203
mid: PG5813001
As i understand i should download this one
Step 1) HBoot 1.27.1100 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100) => downgrade to HBOOT 1.27
Step 2) Flash recovery with fastboot (can i use 4Ext Recovery recovery bin image ?
Step 3) HBoot 1.29.0000 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.27.1100 to 1.29.0000) => Go Back to HBOOT 1.29
I'am right ?

No need for step #3
You can stay at 1.27.1100 hboot.. Changing to hboot 1.29 doesn't give you any advantage or benefit... There is technically no change between 1.29 hboot and 1.27.1100 hboot

do via fastboot way
copy the PG58IMG.zip to your adb/fastboot folder in PC
then connect the phone from bootloader to PC (if the phone says FASTBOOT USB that means it has proper connection)
then open command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder and type these commands one by one
fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it )
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with green HTC )
fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip (this will do the flashing of hboot )
fastboot reboot-bootloader (reboot to bootloader )

WONDERFULL !!!!!!!!!! WHAT ELSE !!!! EXCEPT MANY THANKS !!!! S-OFF / 4Ext installer / HD REVOLUTION
Today I want to flash the cwm custom recovery to gain root and further install 4EXT. I have never done this before.
But I stuck on the first step:
I used an other thread (click here, but it's German). At the beginning, the author provides a collections of tools including the cwm recovery for step 5.
After entering the command shows:
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I did some researched and found this thread. I used the cwm recovery from that link step "flash the recovery".
But it shows the same error:
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img

Here is a current photo of my bootloader.
I unlocked it with revolutionary while GingerBread was running. After that, I debranded my device and installed an official HTC RUU without branding (GingerBread) and did the update to ICS and via OTA to the latest provided version (see my signature). After that, it shows S-OFF but also *** locked ***
I´m not sure, what I have to do to gain my destination with 4EXT (requires root and this requires cwm) and finally Android Revolution HD or DarkForest.
Should I flash the universal firmware from here?
The command "fastboot getvar all" shows this:
C:\adb>fastboot getvar all

INFOversion-bootloader: 1.27.0000

I don't want to brick my phone or my it unusable, so I´m very carefully.
*** EDIT:
I fixed the first step as follows:
I created a new zip file named "PG58IMG.zip". I put the recovery.img and the android-info.txt in it. The MID and CID in the txt-file have to match to my device. After that, I put the zip file onto my sdcard into the root directory. Then I started my device into bootloader and accepted the requested update. After that, I got my cwm recovery.

because you had a locked bootloader that's why you couldn't perform fastboot commands
you had to flash the pg58img.zip from bootloader as you did
it gave you also a patched hboot which is unlocked
