hey all,
I temporarily have access to a N1 with the ENG s-off SPL, and I'm wondering if anyone has an idea based off previous phones of how to dump it into a file as something useful.
I'll keep looking around but I thought I'd throw the question out there.
-Dan
I believe we already have the engineering SPL. We just can't flash it. Really appreciate that you would be willing to do that, though.

Thanks, I actually updated the holiday phone from 0.33.2008 with this without a problem, still ENG s-off.

why aren't we able to flash it? Because we have non-holiday phones and they came with s-on?

How did you flash? fastboot flash boot hboot.img ??
What is the holiday phone?

It's the engineering nexus 1... aka, the phone with S-off... which allows you to flash any ROM even if it is not officially signed

S-On and if you look at the hboot size, they are different. Eng N1 is 768kb and Shipping is 512kb
Fastboot flash hboot hboot.img Do not flash to your boot partition.
what will happen if i try to flash the SPL above? or will i not be able to due to s-on?

S-off and S-on : Security on and off (writing directly to nand or not) , most probably not SPL linked, S-on prevents you to downgrade.

So its a phone hardware thing.
Good to know, thanks a bunch!

I've heard people are looking for a way to relock the SPL on the nexus one, and to do that they need a copy of an original SPL. So I was wondering, and I am sure other android n00bs out there want to know as well, what goes in to dumping an SPL, or any image for that matter, and how come we can't dump the SPL that ships on the nexus one?

I am literally losing my mind!
About a month ago, I successfully rooted my Incredible S with Revolutionary, which updated my HBoot to 6.13.x, and then flashed Cyanogenmod 7 through ClockworkMod Recovery. For various reasons, I needed to give my phone to someone in stock form, so I tried using the rom.zip file from the stock RUU of my phone I found on these forums. After it seemingly completed successfully, except for the fact that it said it couldn't roll back HBoot, it asked to reboot, and ever since then, it repeatedly turns on and off, only making it as far as the first HTC logo. Bootloader still works, while recovery doesn't. Selecting recovery restarts the on-off problem. What should I do to revert to stock? Thanks in advance for ALL help.
Phone is from Bell Mobility, I think.
***Note: I know I shouldn't post unless going through EVERYTHING similar or related, which I've been literally doing for the past ten hours. Nothing has worked.

You need to flash the vivo_downgrade.img in fastboot mode before running an RUU if you have revolutionary s-off
Code:
fastboot flash hboot vivo_downgrade.img
grab it here http://alpharev.nl/vivo_downgrade.img

After you do the fastboot command, you can then run the RUU again and it should then change the HBOOT.

Yeah I did run the RUU after, and after it once again seemingly finished successfully, I rebooted to the same problem, so I just dismissed it. Looking at it now, the Hboot has downgraded. Does this mean that if I run the RUU once more, I"ll be back to stock? Also, S-ON is on as well. Thanks for the help.

If the HBOOT version changed after running the RUU then you are already back to stock.

I'm not sure, but I think the problem I'm having may be that I've been using an RUU that's not Gingerbread, and my radio version is too high to accept it. Could that be it? Radio is 3805.04.03.X.

The radio version changes when the ruu is completed. The version you posted is quite low already, why not install a GB ruu anyway? Could you provide a link to the one that you did run?

Yes run the gb ruu, its usually a bad idea to run anything froyo anyway as it usually results in a brick.

Yep, it's fixed now. The problem was that I was using the Froyo ROM when I should have been using the GB ROM, as was pointed out, as well as my HBoot needed downgrading to accept the proper ROM as well. Thank you both for all the help, extremely appreciated.

Under Dev section there is a thread with it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32067488&postcount=323)
I'm sorry for kinda hi-jacking the thread, but if assuming after bootloader flashed the radio but it still reads radio version as older one, does that mean it failed to flash? If so what might be the cause?
I have S-ON and Dev unlocked bootloader thats running custom roms atm.
Now I think of.... I did not remember HBOOT asking my confirmation.... so I assumes its S-OFF issue then?
Thanks!

Pretty sure it won't work with s-on. What does it say when you update the radio in bootloader?

Nothing really, last thing it goes was "Parsing PG32IMG.zip" then jump back to menu.
Oh well I suspected its s-off issue, gonna fiddle with getting it tonight and then try to update the radios.
Thanks :highfive:
Edit: Is it possible for the radio to be updated without having any obvious modifications? Like version number and such. Just having the strange feeling that it might have worked afterall... Before flashing radio my signal was constantly jumping between 2 to 5 bars, now it just stay at 5, Jedi mind tricked? (same location btw)

use the all in one toolkit
Enter the following command - fastboot getvar version-main, which will tell you which ruu or nandroid version you will need.

Not to worry. When we have S-OFF you can flash any RUU you like. So it will be back to stock. The only bad thing is if you REALLY want to have all the Vodafone bloatware back that came from your original ROM. But there are other vodafone RUUs I think, but just not from your region.

You need to be s-off and then flash a modified hboot...... this is risky and could lead you to a bricked device.
My advice is leave it as it is as you only see it briefly on boot.

Download the original hboot as well as the modified.
If you try to go back to s-on with the modified version you will brick your device so remember to flash back the original first.

This line comes up when you don't have a signed boot.img
So I was running stock rooted and decided to run the Google Play Edition rom the latest one. It isnt in a bootloop but when I get to the home screen the screen is black, blinks for a second and goes back to being a black screen. Was wondering if I should just let the phone die and see if I could still boot in recovery and maybe flash a backup. But as of now I dont have a phone and would appreciate someones help.
Are you S-ON? If so, did you fastboot flash the boot.img?
Also if you're S-ON, you should S-OFF immediately to avoid these types of situations in the future .

I guess I should add instructions to my guide on how to fastboot flash kernels, huh?
Quick question, Cap. Is fastboot flashing the kernel only required for GPE when S-on, or is it AOSP in general? Reason I ask is I haven't seen much mention of it elsewhere.
Edit: Guide updated with instructions for S-on kernel flashing. Hit the second link in my sig.

While S-on you need to fastboot flash the boot.img. Hit the second link in my sig and read down to the portion on S-on kernel flashing. Once S-off you can just flash like normal and ignore the info above.

There are other reasons to S-off. Perhaps you should read the entire Hboot guide I wrote for the M8, not just the portion regarding flashing kernels while S-on.
