I'm trying to flash the engineering hboot using Argumentation's "PL83IMG.zip". After I boot into the "black HTC screen" and run the fastboot command it responds with: error: cannot load "PL83IMG.zip"
Any thoughts on why this is happening
Are you opening the cmd prompt in the folder where the zip is.

I don't believe so, the only text I have entered into terminal is "adb reboot bootloader" "fastboot oem rebootRUU" "fastboot flash PL183IMG.zip"
Edit:
Sorry I misunderstood the question. Didn't realize I needed to cd to the correct folder again. Thanks for your help :good:

Good to hear you got it sorted out.
And just for future refrenxe, what I meant is that you can simply shift right click in the folder with the zip and click open cmd prompt hear. It's easier than cding to the folder after you open the command prompt.

I wrote the commands expecting the person to have the .zip in the same folder as fastboot and adb, if you don't and you want to point it somewhere else, you would do something like this:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip /(placeofzip)/(zipname.zip)
fastboot reboot

I did have the .zip in my "android" folder where I keep fastboot and adb. I've noticed that when I've been flashing things, anytime I boot into RUU that my terminal window seems to "forget" what folder I'm running the commands from. Any chance this is because I'm on a mac and using terminal?
Either way, it's not a big deal since I can at least recognize when I need to cd again before running a command.

It might be, I don't know how adb and fastboot work on Mac since I don't have one.

hey all,
well i unlocked my bootloader okay.. i used the android super toolbox (.bat file) and choose to flash a recovery.img i choose the Amonra option but it installed CWM recovery instead...and now I cannot get Amonra to succussfully flash, so that I can root. Any help?!
Reboot boot loader and use fast boot to flash amon ra. I think its called recovery.img and its in the tools folder of that tool. Put it in the folder you have adb and fasboot and then while in boot loader do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

i did
fastboot flash recovery "nameofrecovery"
i even used the CleanFLASH tool and still no luck
Make sure you're in fast boot mode and you can see in the command prompt it sent it
So go to boot loader then click on fastboot

Make sure you add .img to the end of the recovery file name. I forgot once and got an error.

This is kind of wrong... I'm assuming you've CD (changed directories) to the platform-tools in order to use fastboot. With that being the case, you'll want to specify the "path of the recovery" not the "name of the recovery" + .img of course.

You are placing the recovery image in the same folder correct ? but yes that would be the correct path. I don't know why you would change name as long as you are typing it in correctly.
I always change the name to make it easier to type. Example: cwm-touch.img or recovery.img. I never leave it all crazy like "clockwork-vigor-5.5.1-recovery.img"

I just did it though ubuntu.... god i love linux lol thanks all for ur input
i did notice this on the hboot screen
Open DSP v10.6.0.7611.00.0919
maybe that was there before, but i just noticed it. anything in the name of S-Off!
What is the error you are getting?
The phone is in fastboot, yes? It says "fastboot usb"?
Are you using a folder named "Root" or do you just have your stuff all loose in root? I would keep it in a folder, name it whatever you like, android or something. Put everything you need in there, including the recovery zip file.
Open cmd prompt.
cd c:\android
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
That should do it. I've attached a pic of what I have in my folder which is all you need in there.

have you atleast unlocked your bootloader is the first question...and if so easiest, do you have root access?... way i found to flash a recovery is like this:
have a fully charged battery
boot into your hboot screen and select fastboot
plug the phone into the computer with the data cable
once the phone is loaded open a terminal or ms-dos window
navigate to where you have the fastboot.exe command and make sure you have your new recovery as "recovery.img"
then type in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and then let it write it to your phone then unplug it and reboot into your new recovery

first you have to write your recovery to that partition and like if you download teamwin recovery rename it to recovery.img etc....then you can boot into the new recovery
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(This will reboot you into boot loader)
Then to flash recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name.img
(Change "name" to the name of your recovery. )
Then you should be good.

If you are trying to flash 4ext, you can install the app and run it (see my signature). No need for adb.

OK so for reasons beyond me, I can't flash any sense 4.0 roms due to constant boot up as if kernel is not installing, even tho sense 3.6 kernels and roms install just fine. Also I can lock and unlock bootloader thru ADB and well and flash recovery, but if I try flashing bootimg I get an error "device not found" message??? I am s-on, on global firmware and prior to this problem was running cm9. I've RUUed back to stock several times with the problem still continuing. ALL, and I do all help is appreciated.

You cant do it in adb. You must be in fastboot. Make sure the device is seen by typing "fastboot devices" while in fastboot. Then flash the boot.img with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Not sure... boot your phone to bootloader by using "adb reboot bootloader" then see if it shows up when you type "fastboot devices". if it does then you should be good to go

You have to download it seperately... I cant look right now but a quick google search on rezound fastboot should do it. It isnt included with adb
Edit: got a chance to look it up. here you go. put the boot.img file in the same directory that this is installed and then do the previously mentioned steps.

Easiest way I find to get the right directory is to browse on your computer to the folder where fastboot.exe is located. For me it's C:\Android SDK\platform-tools
In other words when I open that platform tools folder the contents are adb.exe, fastboot.exe, good stuff like that.
So my exact steps are press start button in windows, choose "computer" from the start menu. Double click the C driver, double click Android SDK and then I'll see platform tools.
**Here's the important part**
Hold down shift, right click on "platform tools" and then choose the option "Open Command Window Here" from the right click dialog box. Holding shift gives you those extra options. I would have my boot.img file inside the platform tools folder because that's where fastboot.exe is located.
So shift and right click on platform tools, then click on "Open Command Window Here" and then make sure the phone is in fastboot-usb mode (boot to hboot and if it doesn't say fastboot USB at the top in bright red, you need to select fastboot from the list), and type the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the quotes and press enter. When It's done writing use the command fastboot reboot or manually reboot and you should be good to go.

Think I've figured out the problem. It's not fastboot, but somewhere in the installation of the kernel. Kernel installs but the only kernels that will boot are 3.6 ones. All others regardless of kernel or Rom combo simply continuously boots or bootloops. Also computer see device in fastboot.... I'm clueless at this point.

Using your mac? I don't use my mac for my phone stuff so I can't help you there.
There's a PH98IMG of Amon Ra somewhere, but now that I think about it I don't know if you can use that type of file yet at this point, before having a custom recovery on the phone. Btw... newest Amon Ra is v3.16, unless there's a 3.17 now.
I am assuming that you already have the adb setup.
Download the recovery and rename it to well recovery then put the "recovery" file on the adb folder
Next open up terminal type "cd" then space bar and drag and drop the folder that you put the recovery file into the terminal then hit enter
Turn off fastboot on your phone and turn on usb debugging and type this into the terminal ./adb devices
If your device shows up then type this ./adb reboot bootloader
then type this ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
wait for it to flash then type ./fastboot reboot bootloader
Then go to the recovery then once you are in the custom recovery go down to developer options
Select Install su and superuser and wait for that to finish.
And boom your rooted and running
I have a mac also and thats what I did
If you find a way to S off on a mac let me know :laugh:
I got my HTC One unlocked and am now trying to flash twrp recovery, but I'm hitting a wall. When I type in the cmd window "fastboot flash recovery

What am I doing wrong?
you usually get that when you type it wrong just rename the file name to recovery.img
