[SOLVED] FASTBOOT flash recovery remote: not allowed (update boot.img and system.img

zomgitsanoob · Jan 10, 2014

Okay, going to try the pl80img.zip method

every time I send

Code:

fastboot flash system system.img

the entire computer becomes unresponsive and does nothing indefinitely

Okay, computer says it can't copy to the sdcard for some reason. going to try formatting the sd card

edit::

okay, formatted the sd card and copied over PL80IMG.zip

the bootloader sses it and pauses at

Code:

Loading...[PL80IMG.zip]

before simply going back to the bootloader

It doesn't ask me whether to apply, as it did when I did the hboot mod to remove the red text.

I created the zip in Windows via rightclick->new->compressed (zipped) folder

still 4.1.2, and wifi won't turn on (error)

well, it looks like whoever pulled those "img"s just re named backup files from twrp or CWM instead of actually pulling them using dd, or adb pull......

either that, or you just have to remember the system.img is 1.3G

that's quite a lot to flash at one time

zomgitsanoob · Jan 10, 2014

I waited for a response and got nothing. It sits forever and then simply goes back to the hboot menu (where you select recovery, reboot, etc). Upon restarting the phone, nothing has changed.

Somewhere along the way, we lost wifi capabilities. I don't understand why flashing the system.img via fastboot froze the entire computer (I waited 10- minues; the cursor moves, but everything else in nonresponsive. Same results on 3 different computers

I'm going to try going full jb stock, but it has no system.img, so if the seemingly failed system flash caused damage, I don't know that it can be fixed without a successful flash.

edit:: used the same PL80IMG.zip method to go full stock (radio, boot, and recovery). Seems to be working. WiFi working. So far, looks good (as in, operational). Oddly, despite software information saying I'm on 4.1.2, it says no updates are available (?). Since we're back to stock boot, should I be able to install the ota zip file via cwm, or will the sytem partition not be a match at this point?

try it out

zomgitsanoob · Jan 10, 2014

Moving forward, should I be concerned that the failed

Code:

fastboot flash system system.img

might have resulted in some sort of damage to the system partiton? Or is that something that gets rebuilt automatically following the boot.img flash and regular use?

russellvone · Jan 10, 2014

we just need to find a good backup....the hunt begins

zomgitsanoob · Jan 10, 2014

Russelvone, if I ever meet you (or modding.my.mind,or Old Splatterhand) I owe you a pint :highfive:

More good news: Now it's seeing the OTA update. Downloading now to try updating (if it works, then we'll put twrp or cwm back on) :good:

Modding.MyMind · Jan 10, 2014

The system image is pulled from dd, but it contains superuser.apk and busybox. The person who pulled it wasn't thinking clearly when I requested for a clean stock image. Oh well, close enough haha.

okay, so i go to install, and it starts to work- shows a green circle and a progress bar. 2 seconds in, however, it stops nd shows me a red triangle and exclamation point :crying:

Going to flash twrp and try installing the zip..

could the damaged(?) system partition have something to do with it?

factory, reset then try again

Have to get to work soon. I kept the pl80img.zip on the flash drive and just added .bkp to the filename, so I should be able to use file explorer to remove the extension, go to hboot and go stock at any time.

When I tried installing the .zip, here's what twrp (which I put back on via goo) gave me:
(I renamed the file to update.zip)

Code:

updating partition details...
Installing '/sdcard/update.zip
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 Check: no MD5 file found.
assert failed: check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"). "000
          "2222222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "5
          "7777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "C
e:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/update.zip'
Updating partition details

(clearly, the text continues off the screen.)

My CID is 11111111 (superCID, as provided by either yourself of modding.my.mind , IIRC)

I'm no coder, but it almost looks like that's where it's seeing a problem? Do I need to go back to default CID for the update?

I'll put the recovery back to stock, o a factory reset, and try again when I get a chance and post the results.

I notice that, despite going stock boot, the bloatware didn't all return. Is that because we failed to succesfully flash the system image?

It occurs to me the .zip could have been corrupted. Tonight or tomorrow (my pc is dead, so I have to use one someplace else), I'll recreate the PL80IMG.zip with the 2.2 images from earlier in this thread using 7zip and try again (it takes a while to redownload that system.img)

fastboot flash these...

Okay, since fastboot freezes the pc, I added the default android-info.txt from here and created the PL80IMG.zip via 7-zip

It's in HBoot updating system right now...

edit:: it goes back and forth between updating and unzipping... is that normal? How long should I wait for the entire proccess? I realize it's more than a gig, fso it makes sense that it could a little while

edit:: okay.. both say ok.... power button reboot...

*crosses fingers*

Okay, looks good! Thank you, sir! I now oew you two pints

Now to go find out how to disable Tell HTC...

You can disable it by freezing, deleting the udove system apk and odex file. Or by adding an extension like .apk.pka and .odex.dexo.

However, I recently restored my device with my twrp backup so the 'Tell HTC' would appear under settings. I took my stock boot.img and unpacked it. Then I unpacked the ramdisk. I opened up the default.prop file using 920 text editor on my device and changed ro.secure to 0 instead of 1 and for the other ones listed I changed from 0 to 1. I repacked the boot.img and pushed it to my device. I rebooted and 'Tell HTC' was still there. I left my phone alone and didn't actually check again until the following morning and 'Tell HTC' was disabled; no longer there anymore. I do not know how long it took to take affect and it become disable but I repeated the steps by restoring my device again to try and duplicate the process to removing it again. It worked.

Even better, after 'Tell HTC' became disabled I was able to restore just my stock boot.img and it still remained disabled lol.

Well just so you are aware, you are currently over at HTC One SV. I recommend heading over it your devices forums. With that said, I do not know if your device has a locked bootloader or not. If it does, then this may be your problem.
