[How-To] Fix perfected SPL (fastboot remote: not allow)

The following instructions :
will void all warranties of your phone!
will erase all your userdata!
will change your current ROM/SPL!
will change your current splash screen!
could brick your phone!
Proceed at your own risk!
The "trick" in fixing a perfected SPL is to fastboot a goldcard which contains a sappimg.nbh/zip that has :
an non-perfected SPL (preferably an engineerings SPL).
a ROM with a version that is HIGHER than your current ROM version.
Steps
Create a Goldcard.
Copy the required sappimg.nbh/zip to the Goldcard.
Boot your phone while holding the VOLUME-DOWN key.
Press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to start the update.
Wait until the update completes and press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to reboot your phone.
(Upgrade to the rooted ROM of your choice).

THANKS ekindangen you rock! , btw what are the chances of bricking of phone ? , just worried abit, noobie here

Amon_RA:
i successfully created a goldcard and i flashed my MyTouch too, but i kept getting "failed" when i tried to fastboot the recovery image. This was using the original sappimg.zip provided in the 'how-to' instructions.
Should i retry with one of the higher NBH/ZIPs?

Does this work with 1.33.2006 as well

1.33.2006 is an engineerings SPL... it is already "non-perfected"

So this would work for the mytouch 1.33.0006?

HMmm it dint not ask me for the upgrade, i successful created the goldcard and put in sappimg.zip file it in, booted holding power+volume down, it doesnt ask me for upgradation

Try it with a normal SD card, if that one picks up the sappimg.zip it means that your goldcard is corrupted/bad.

Oh yeah thanks it picked it up , i have a sandisk and a some card by the name kingmax, so both these wont work ? which brand is preferrable ?

Flashing done, i have a s-off spl now \0/, how do i load a custom rom now?! can you please point me to the right direction. A ROM with all google apps

ok so this isnt for 1.33.0006????? never got answered besides its an engineering spl. this means?

can anybody tell if now a hero rom could be put on this htc magic?

This method is only for 32A?
Or both 32A and 32B ？

this is great!
Glad I waited now for a better method for doing this. I almost did the goldcard with the other rom that was originally posted. This way I get a new ROM with no issues I can see. Much better solution. Thanks everyone. Today I buy the sd cards and a card reader here in Chennai and go play with the solution and new rom I've chosen. I have a second magic phone that was bought for me I flashed earlier with a Hero rom and I really like it. The first phone was bought by my company for use; but after seeing what was not on it, was really disappointed with Airtel.
Thanks everyone! This is the solution worth waiting for.

Man why does all custom roms get stuck at loading screen ?. I tried using RAv1.2.0 in Fastboot mode(without actually flashing it to phone) and then i use the "update from zip" option from it to load the new custom rom. it completes installation. Reboots. And then it gets stuck at second HTC Android Logo!!! tried two Roms
Amon Ra's RAv1.1.0H-signed-update
JACxHERO variant Hero ROM
What am i doing wrong? Is there a proper tutorial for flash rom properly. Do i need to flash my SPL to Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005-signed ?

Got it all done
The whole goldcard thing took me a few tries. Discovered that the sandisk that shipped with my Airtel India Magic would not work so got a few new cards and a card reader. I had to redo the goldcard a few times and I had gotten the whole cid thing wrong somehow so I redid that and got a new goldcard.img. I had to be a bit patient holding down the action key also.
Finally, was able to apply the non perfected engineering over the airtel and then this very nice rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538645
Very nice seeing the Android in Blue letters when I rebooted the phone, having root on the phone, etc. Seeing the Android Market on the phone for the first time makes it all nicer. I'm glad I waited to get a way that allows me to try different stuff. Thanks everyone.
BTW, did all this on Ubuntu Linux. Only windows involved was the QMAT program running in Wine. Yay!

[Q] Getting Wildfire to Diag Mode Without PC49Diag.nbh

Is there a way we get into daig mode without the pc49diag.nbh file so that we can clear the security flag?
Its just a idea i have and a question.
I found a pc49diag.zip file but that was a rom.zip renamed and it booted from hboot without the use of a goldcard. As with the gold card it wouldn't even load the files.
Idea being if we can get diag mode just like how the XTC Rebel clip does then it might be a better way without the £150+ price tag if its for one phone.

Hi,
Please format your SD and uncompress from the zip attached.
Boot with power+volume down, after a few seconds it will "jump into DIAG" and boot the P49diag.nbh, select power, it will fail, press the dial, it will say "Waiting for Radio Ready" then you can clean S58 Data (I guess simlock and S flag).
Now this works on my device but it may not work on yours. Then PC49diag.nbh seems to be signed, it may have been leaked from HTC. If it was created by XTC Clip in a device specific way then the HTC private signing keys were leaked as well, doubtful but who knows.
Let me know how it works out for you.

Sorry, forgot the attachment. Here it is.

I tried this with the XTC clip version and it didn't clear any flags just error att'd! will try though!

Thanks for the info. It's wierd that the XTC Clip didn't work on your Buzz. What error message did you get exactly? Did you get to the "Waiting for the Radio" message?

no the XTC Clip worked but the diag file will not work without the clip or it shouldn't i just ran the file without the clip and it just removed S-On which is strange.
So here is the question where did you get the file from if its from the XTC clip then you might get some stick for releasing that file out.

Hi,
Thanks, what do you mean by "removed S-On"? Did you get to the "clean S58 data" menu? Was your phone S-OFF and did you switch to S-ON?
If you managed to get to the menu without the fake SIM attached, then no SIM vulnerability is being exploited and this is just the engineering bootloader being loaded, and somehow it has access to DIAG mode on the radio and can modify NVRAM. Which shouldn't normally happen without some kind of signature verification, in which case either HTC (or Qualcomm?!) screwed up, or their signing keys got leaked.

It's about time someone had the balls to release this file.
Didn't work for me personally (well it booted into diag mode but S-off failed with a timeout).
However I did gain some useful info for my own project I've been working on.
Thank you very much, have searched high and low for this.
TOP MARKS TO THIS MAN.
P.S anybody know anything about cold boot flags?

When you say press the dial, what do you actually mean.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

it was S-On but on Hboot 0.80 so not sure fully.

well I tried it and yes I could get into diag mode and go all the way to the end but I got an error and could not get rid of s-on. Maybe there is something else we need to add. Did anybody try to flash a custom rom with an older hboot when in the diag mode?

nwpmikey: The thingy at the bottom, looks like a circle.
And please don't thank me, thank whoever leaked the file from HTC. I merely posted it whatever was on my SD card.
Other people who used the XTC Clip: please post your PC49DIAG.nbh here so we can compare the difference (if any).
My HBOOT in an old one, from May 2010, afaik. It may have been downgraded by unrevoked3. Version 08.0002 iirc. Not changed by the switch to S-OFF, of course.

I'm trying to use the file on hboot 1.01.0001/S-ON/Stock 2.2.1(2.22.405.1 WWE) and it does not work (wrong image error).
Any ideas?

Hey,
Thanks to everyone for trying it. The PC49DIAG.nbh must be customized by the XTC Clip in some way, so that it becomes device-specific and will not work on other devices. Since it *seems* to be signed, this could mean that HTC's private signing key leaked and are somewhere inside the XTC Clip itself. So making a software version of the XTC Clip will be a matter of extracting the keys or whatever firmware is inside the clip.
If someone else who turned their wildfire to S-OFF could post their PC49DIAG.nbh, that would be very helpful. It may not give the solution immediately, I guess we'd need to investigate more. Also "rtask C" (aka talk to the radio) looks like a promising path, but I couldn't get it working yet.

I've found a file called pc49diag.rar on a chinese forum but I cannot register to download it.

and the link for the file...

perhaps it's the same thing we have... I can't test it.

Thanks for the link.
I also found http://www.mediafire.com/?i09yp4r7odhlzws (PC49IMG.zip)
Despite the name, it lacks the nbh file -- just a recovery (and the zip is not signed, obviously you can't flash it since you're S-ON).
I found another link, PC49diag.zip 128MB file but it's actuelly just another stock ROM. This one is signed, but DO NOT FLASH IT, it will update everything (radio, recovery, hboot etc.).

I have 2.2.1 with hboot 1.01.0001 S-ON and built number 2.22.405.1
With the file supplied in here, I can get into the diag mode and by hitting the action key get to the clean S58 Data screen. But when I tried to clean the data, it threw an error and could not S-OFF the device.
UPDATE: I made a goldcard, and tried the procedure again. But this time I could not get into the DIAG mode at all.. So if you have a goldcard in your SD slot, that maybe the reason for not working in your case.

Hi,
Thanks for trying this. A couple question:
- could you write down the exact error message after you ran clean S58 data?
- can you try the "Device Info" menu? Does it work?
- can you try the Flash menu (power button before it waits for the radio) with an unsigned update.zip on your SD? For example the one that flashes a recovery (see mediafire link above)

Having trouble installing clockwork recovery

My phone was made s-off via xtc clip.
It's rooted with superoneclick (couldn't get unrevoked to work).
ROM Manager is in the superuser list and has been granted root access.
In ROM Manager I click "flash clockworkmod recovery", select "HTC Buzz (Wildfire)" and it says "successfully downloaded clockworkmod recovery".
But every time I click "reboot into recovery" I just get a black screen with a phone in the middle and a red triangle.
I then have to remove the battery to get the phone back on.
Any ideas folks ?

I read somewhere that the current version of ROM manager doesn't work with Android 2.2.
Is this right ?
I tried an older version and it appeared to try and install clockwork recovery for a few seconds then I got a black screen with a phone and a red question mark.

try flashing custom recovery with PC49IMG process. get the file from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15

and one more thing, if u get issues with flashing custom roms then try to use different version of recovery.
issues like amend scripting.......

Thanks for the reply.
I tried putting the PC49IMG.zip file in the root of the sd card but when I go into HBOOT it says ....

CID error after making S-OFF huh ?
U do have another option. Can try an official RUU of ur region with the radio Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25
this gives u hboot 0.80 . Then u can root the phone with unrevoked (use version 3.2).

Would this be ok ?

The one specific for ur region (if it is there) is more preferable. However it will also be ok.
And better get it from shipped roms website if u havent started the download yet.

So, is it just a case of running the exe with my phone connected ?

Sorry, cant go further. That might be due to region. I think there might be ur region RUU in that website there. Don't know completely to solve cid errors. Probably a gold card might be the solution.
But there are solutions for cid errors. Go with this thread (same one as earlier), it might help u. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993102

Thanks again for all your help so far, much appreciated.
I found a multi region RUU with the same kernel as the one I'm on.
Do you think flashing this will allow me to then flash one of the older RUUs ?
Also, if I do this will it make my phone s-on again ?

When ur phone has S-OFF (by xtc clip) u can flash any wildfire RUU of ur region (i mean downgrading hboot is also possible). Yes u can flash older RUU also, that's what u attempted to do with that WWE ruu.
Once u do S-OFF by xtc clip, then u can't get back to S-ON in any way. XTC clip directly wipes off the secure flag in the radio NVRAM. So, AFAIK, there is no way for u (by xtc clip) to get back to S-ON even when u flash an updated hboot.
But alpharev2 (not yet released for wildfire) will patch the hboot to make it think that the secure flag is off. So, if done by alpharev S-OFF is not permanent. When done S-OFF with alpharev, then if u flash an updated hboot, the phone returns to S-ON. This is not the case with u.

Tried the RUU with the same kernel that's on my phone but got the "customer ID error" again.
I'm starting to think something went wrong when they used the xtc clip.
When I get the red triangle in HBOOT, if I press vol up + power I get the message "failed to verify signature".
I thought having s-off was supposed to bypass the signature checks

AFAIK, after S-OFF it should skip the signature check. That is how we can flash the custom recovery through PC49IMG process.
There is a full guide of XTC clip rooting in the development section. If u think something went wrong when they used xtc clip, u might get an answer there. link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057524
And also one more link to what we can do after S-OFF here.

In that try the fastboot flash recovery command. May be a hope

Woo hoo, success !!
I made a goldcard and the RUU installed fine.
I now have Android 2.1 and HBOOT 0.80.0007.
I guess the goldcard is where I was going wrong.
Edit : Just got unrevoked to work first time too.

And now I've got CM7 installed !!!
A very happy bunny.
Many thanks again for the help and advice.
Wouldn't have got it working without this forum.

my desire hd boots up and what i get is a phone icon with a red triangle with a red exclamation mark on it .
i removed the battery and restarted my phone.
this time i press the power and volume down button.
i go down to recovery mode and click it on the bootloader screen.
again the same phone icon with a red triangle with a red exclamation mark.
no button works and i have to remove battery again.
What should i do now ???
i'm totally stuck.

your CWM Recovery didn't flash successfully. Next time don't pull your battery press volume down and hold then press power button. it will show you a menu that allows you to reboot your DHD.
Try to reboot your DHD holding the volume down button until the boot loader appears. chech that the first line has something that says
ENG S-OFF or in my case the whole line was
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
then reboot the phone and flash recovery I believe you have to have Radio S-OFF to be able to flash recovery.
did you use the one-click easy S-OFF and one-click Radio S-OFF tool. if not try to search for this in the forums. I believe they are by jkoljo. This worked for me like a charm. happy ROM-ming.

I rooted DHD any shiprom. No need to downgrade...

I think u flashed successfully the cwm.. why do u want to install custom Rom by traditional method just go to Rom manager from there download ur Rom and click on it.. Rom manager ll do the job for u ... K.I.S.S.

CWM has a different logo I think it is/was an android guy on a skateboard. whereas stock recovery is a triangle with exclamation point inside. So it means something went wrong when he flashed his CWM and would lead me to believe that his S-OFF process went awry. So checking S-OFF is easy. Reboot to bootloader and the info is on the first line.
