a while back i encountered some sort of error that caused my boot1 partition to disappear, leaving a gear-type-image on bootup
i believe i was doing something with adb. I know there is a command in adb to delete a partition, however i could not find one to recreate a partition, so i have been stuck with this gear since then
it's not a major issue, as it has no real effect on performance, and it doesnt show up unless i boot my phone, which i never turn off, however if there is a way to fix it, i would like to.
anyone got any ideas on how i could restore my boot1 partition?
is it the first image that appears on your phone or after that where the animation should be?
it's the first image.
it appears where the "Rogers" logo would be
if you can find the original rogers boot image, it may be in the rogers real root thread by haykuro, you can fastboot flash splash1 nameofsplashimage.rgb565 and that should fix it. the first image when your phone boots up is called splash1.
that is exactly the issue, when i try to flash my splash1, it tells me the partition does not exist
just wanted to bump this one, kuz im still lookin for the answer
1)find a splash image on these forums (it should be in .rgb565)
2)then boot into bootloader mode, and press back until youre in fastboot mode
3)connect the phone to USB, the screen should not show fastboot USB
4)On PC open console and type in adb fastboot flash splash1 [Directory to your splash image file eg C:/Android/Mysplash.rgb565]
5)Reboot the phone
or if you just want to flash the stock splash image follow these instructions

you need to have a non perfect SPL for this to work but since you managed to delete it im assuming you already have one lol
I tried the fastboot flash method, but I get an error. I remember having a MT3G 1.2 and having to flash a new spl, flashing the boot screen, then returning to the stock spl. Is there an engineering spl that I need? I have tried searching. I may just be missing it
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
Sent from my HTC Espresso, that is apperantly a failing device using the XDA App
Thanks, but I know how to do that. I was talking about splash1. With the G1 and MT3G, I was simply able to just fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565... With MT3G 1.2, I had to flash an engineering SPL and fastboot flash splash1 splash.rgb565, then flash back to the stock SPL (because the engineering SPL created some dramatic issues).
I was curious if there was a slide SPL page or thread that someone could redirect me to. If it's possible or not.
When I fastboot flash, (adb doesn't even read that my device is in fastboot. It says "list of devices" then nothing underneath. It reads it when it's powered on normally) the command prompt says "remote: signature verify failed".
I was able to finally get rid of that annoying T-Mobile boot animation, I just want to change the splash screen
My suggestion would be to find the image in the rom and push a new one via adb. I took a look around and can't see to find it in mine. Must be in a zip or apk somewhere. I don't know really...
I assume you are talking about the white screen that says T-mobile myTouch 3G-Slide... if so we don't have rw access yet, so no one has been able to get rid of it yet.
Thanks for the answer. I wasn't sure that it was even possible. I guess it's not that big of a deal to change it. I just basically want to rid the entire phone of T-Mobile.
hopefully it becomes possible, eventually. I got this phone for practically free and plan on using my upgrade on what's rumored to come...
has anyone been able to use fastboot to change the boot logo on their aria?

im pretty sure you have to have s-off to to the fastboot splash screen push.
but any how i havent heard or seen anyone with s-off. i been searching and research ing possibilty's for it. the search continues

As you can see I have S-OFF, but I dont know what to do to flash clockworkmod. I have tried revoked3 but without success.

Successfully Flashed Splash Screen in Fastboot
I have! I just used AlphaRevX to get S-Off yesterday and while I was at it I installed a new splash screen! I was reading several threads in the desire forums and played around with it til i could get mine to work.
(Original Thread) [HOW TO] HTC Desire Custom Splash screen
Just use the thread listed above with one exception. With the Aria you need to be sure that when you save your BMP the resolution needs to be 320x480, not 480x800. It would probably be a good idea to change the values when you use nbimg too.
Code:
nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 320 -h 480
Even though i didn't notice it make a difference when I did it.
Hope this helps out anyone else with an Aria who wants to change their splash screen.

Try these:
1.)Put update.zip of cwm recovery onto ur sd(If you don't know how google it!)
2.)Power off ur Aria(Uncheck Power> Fastboot in settings first)
3.)Enter Fastboot.(VOL DN+POWER)
4.)Select RECOVERY
5.)You will get a warning signal, ignore it, just press VOL UP+POWER
6.)Navigate to "apply sdcard:update.zip" or something similar
7.)Reboot
8.)To check, power on your phone and type into terminal:
su
reboot recovery
9.)You're done!
I don't know if this will work or not(I owned a Desire, not Aria)But try if you have time!
A quirk of the Advent Vega (also Tegra) that allows you to enter fastboot mode also applies on the 2X (Thanks Bumble-Bee for the tip!)
Basically, if you wipe the boot partition (e.g. 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5') then reboot, the device drops to fastboot.
Handy testing feature for devs.

That sounds great!
Does fastboot boot work? Does fastboot flash work? Any other lockdowns there?

Fastboot boot did, didn't try anything else yet!

Fastboot flash works, ish.
I could flash recovery, but not boot. What would be nice is a radio in .img format so I don't have to backup and restore the bastard thing when a new one is out.
Ahh this would be so awsome.. since i Smartflash can't detect my P990
(so i can't flash the latest basebands or revert them)
Gief Radio in .img format !
Would anyone Know how to get the radio as .img ?
Would this work on the T-Mobile LG G2X?
Good question.
I expect the boot partition is different, so don't blindly follow the command here.

I did follow the command blindly with my P990, but no boot for me. Luckily there's an escape with the NVflash stock ROM.
It's fine on the P990, it's meant to 'not' boot, it's not broken at that stage, it's in fastboot. You can fastboot boot your way out of it.
Is this a safe option to try on my v10D? Fastboot decreases boot time by how much really?
That's not what fastboot means, to be honest, this isn't going to be for you
Hey All,
I was trying to install GingerStreak 2.4.4 from GingerStreak 2.4.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1333010
According to the instructions, I flashed
amss.mbn - http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/amss.mbn
and
dsp1.mbn - http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/dsp1.mbn
(got both the files from the first link above)
Then when I tried to reboot into Bootloader (Power+Vol Up+Vol Down) but nothing happens apart from the Dell logo being displayed.
I try to boot normally, still stuck at the Dell logo. The phone never even reaches the boot animation.
I try to go boot into fastboot (power+camera key)mode, but the phone never even boots. The screen stays off, so do the LED lights.
I figured out that the files downloaded above were incomplete(due to slow speed Chrome showed incomplete files as download complete).
amss downloaded: 111KB. Actual Size: 15.41MB
DSP1 Downloaded: 250KB. Actual Size: 8.94MB
So, I flashed the wrong files.
Now, I guess, the phone is bricked big time.
I need big time to get into fastboot mode (to flash the correct files) or anyhow get my phone working.
Guys, need help. Please help me out and get this issue sorted out.
You should maybe consider the Streak forum...
Sorry, my bad. I just searched for my problem an found this thread. Poured out all my worried without bothering to check on the device name.
Thanks anyhow!
my hero cdma can't boot into recovery and can't work only in the normal position after use (fastboot oem boot)
when i power the device and unplug USB cable show me in the screen this lines
Code:
HERO XC SHIP S-OFF

MICROP-0110
TOUCH PANEL-SYN0104

RUU
Even when I press volume down + power .. the screen remains black and does not show anything
I tried a lot to work root and flash recovery.img again by (recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img) .. but every time i enter ((reboot recovery)) does not appear to me anything except previous message ..
my software v2.27.651.5
pardon me because i can't speak english well .. and I ask for your immediate help
Place this on the root of your sdcard. Boot into hboot (fastboot) and press the down volume key, that's hboot mode. It'll find the HERCIMG.zip, which is just the RUU and after it flashes you're phone will be back to stock.

Im having the same exact error
what i did first is that i accessed the recovery mode without knowing and i did the wipe/factory default settings
it brought me to a black screen with only the top slider while that the recovery mode was working
later i installed the ruu software 2.27.651.6 and downloaded it from htc website , at the end of the installing it showed file error cant open
i thought i was just that software (and i didnt download it right) later i tried installing the 1.27 , 1.56 , 2.27.651.5 and the 2.27.651.6 again and it still gave me the same error
after searching on the net i found the command fastboot oem boot which works only with 2.27.651.5 and the 2.27.651.6 version now i cant open my htc hero sprint without this command ,
is there a way to fix it ? please help
It sounds to me like the only way you'll be able to fix your phone is through adb. I'm not sure of the exact steps, but read up on the procedures that have been written up on using adb and you should be able to find what you need. That's all I can think of...

im already familiar to the adb and fastboot commands , tho i dont know the exact steps to fix my problem , because the other steps i found on the net crashes at a point such as flash_image says it cant find the image , and the fastboot flash update.zip says image is not supported

Bummer... well, sorry I don't know what else to tell you at this point. If you follow the steps for putting your phone completely back to stock and it crashes before it completes, then your phone may have a hardware problem. Did you overclock it at all?

Overclocking makes the phone faster, in simple terms. It's risky. I assume that you didn't?

yes never done it before, would the phone be fixed if i did?
No, I only brought it up because overclocking can challenge the hardware and if it overheats then you might run into functional issues. If you didn't overclock then this isn't a factor.
I don't have my main computer handy with all of my browser shortcuts (I've got quite a library from researching rooting, modding, etc), but I know for certain that there are at least 3+ ways to load a new recovery program onto your phone, or get back to a stock ROM even if you brick your phone. You'll have to take the time to search the forums for those earlier guides, the ones before programs were developed to make rooting and flashing ROM's easier (not needing to know much about adb). AndroidForums has quite a few good ones. Check out their FAQ for the HTC Hero.
One other thing... I noticed your bootloader is 1.47. I had issues with that bootloader, with trying to set S-OFF. I had to override with 1.46. You might want to try an earlier bootloader.

If u dont mind can u show me how to install earilier bootloaders ?
Since you can't get your phone fully booted, you won't be able to use ADB. But if you can load the bootloader into Fastboot USB, then use "fastboot". Read up on the Fastboot Wiki and Flash Tutorial. The only caveat is that I've seen two variations on flashing the bootloader using fastboot. Whereas the Wiki I linked shows "fastboot flash boot boot.img", I've also seen "fastboot flash hboot.img" (but I think that may be a typo--certainly it'll let you know).
If you have a ZIP file instead of an IMG file, there will be an "hboot.img" within the ZIP file. I think the fastboot is intelligent enough to know that it needs to be applied to the boot partition. So, you can also do this:
* fastboot oem rebootRUU //Boot into RUU, which lets you flash HBOOT, radio, etc.
* fastboot flash zip [zipname.zip] //Replace zipname.zip with the actual name of the file you are flashing
-- or --
* fastboot flash boot [boot.img]
However, if your current bootloader state is S-ON, you may not be able to execute those commands successfully. I know for myself I had to install ROM Manager to override the hboot 1.47 S-ON that I had installed, which downgraded the hboot. From there I was able to override and flash hboot 1.46 S-OFF.
