fastboot flashzip c:\rom.zip

it dosn't recognize flashzip command, I'll try with "flash zip" and it run.
Then it show this message:

sending 'zip' (164913 kb)... OKAY [24.279s]
writing 'zip'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

EDIT1
On Alpharev website i found this line: Downgrade protection, these HBOOTs cannot be overwritten by an OTA or RUU, unless you flash a downgrader HBOOT first.
is it important for me?

Not this time, if you haven't flashed a custom HBOOT HBOOT don't worry about it

ok thanks, but What about the writing error.

Sorry about my frequently question :D

I'm kind of out of ideas. Try posting a new thread with what you've already done and your current bootloader info.

Oh and mention I couldn't help you fix it either.

Well, I had a device (pvt4) stock, with the RUU gingerbread
installed. AND usb brick. So using adb was no option. And Visionary+ wouldn't work because its Gingerbread.


What I did:

-installed terminal emulator
-typed:

setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd

This starts adb over wireless! Now you can acces adb by typing in your command prompt:

 adb connect IPfromyourdesire:5555

Now you are connected.

Then, I followed this guide, but I maked a new mtd0.img through this site.

Follow the guide, but when you are going to put the code in terminal emulator, do it in adb shell. So open an prompt, and type:

adb shell
cat /sdcard/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/flash_image
cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/mtd0.img
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/
chmod 755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin flash_image
/data/data/jackpal.androidterm/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

Now leaving this prompt open and open een new prompt and type:

cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/
./flash_image misc mtd0.img

Reboot. Boom. usb debricked.
Hope that it is usefull for others with the same problem.

Hi there.

I have a little problem with flashing custom ROM to my desire.

I have tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...26831&page=146 .

I rooted my phone with unrevoked and followed all the steps to flash a new ROM. But when I press "reboot system" now it just keeps loading for a very long time and nothing happens.

Perhaps somebody can help me to deal with this problem and what I am doing wrong.

Unrevoked says 'done' but I'm not root

---

Been tearing my hair out with this...

I bought a Desire on Ebay, seemingly unbranded and running 2.2

Running Unrevoked failed witah the 'backup CID missing' error - using Unrevoked 3.22 didn't work so I ended up modifying the CID as explained in Turkey's tutorial. Then I ran the recommended Unrevoked and it seemed fine, said 'Done' at the end and I finally had ClockworkMod from hboot recovery. But I'm still not root - I can't su in terminal or run Titanium. I've installed Busybox from the app store.

Can anyone tell me how to get root on this thing? My hboot screen says:

Bravo PVT4 Ship S-Off
Hboot-0.93.0001

Backup your rom from recovery.

Download this and flash it via recovery http://downloads.androidsu.com/super...ghi-signed.zip

Download this and rename it to PB99IMG.zip, put it on the root of your sd-card. Boot into HBOOT (vol down + power), wait, when it asks to update select yes, and then reboot. http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_stock.zip

Make sure to check md5 before you use this!!, theres a tool somewhere on this thread. 7bd5234711364880de1fa982dcf3a2d6

You will now have root and S-OFF

Full wipe before flashing?
EXT partition set up on SD Card?
Presume you aren't S-OFF so selected Stock hboot?

Fantastic - thanks very much for your help. Just for the sake of anyone reading this in the future, the hash you gave was for the img file in the zip, not the zip itself.

Thanks again - now to get A2SD and finish what HTC started! Any suggestions for a good stable Sense ROM with A2SD, while I'm here?
