Are you root when you type this command with linux?

First you need to go in fastboot mode (press camera+power keys while off) => skating androids with HBOOT displayed

Then you need to ACTIVATE fastboot over USB (press back key) => FASTBOOT USB displayed

Then type:

sudo ./fastboot boot recoveryBoot.img

Please describe anything not going like tutorial.
[G1 Android Development] greg35:
I'm agree with you !!! Parlons Français !!!
[G1 Android Development] jaygeek:
Bonne idée, juste un post en Français(histoire d'être plus clair) :)

Comme j'ai essayé de l'expliquer dans mes précédents messages je suis bien en mode fastboot usb mais depuis que j'ai fait ce "flash_image" alors que j'avais oublié de redémarrer sur le recovery_boot.img impossible de connecter le téléphone au PC.

En mode fastboot usb ça me met : "Waiting for device" et téléphone allumé "device not found".

(J'ai bien envie de tenter un hard reset mais si je ne peux toujours pas me connecter j'ai l'air malin)

A l'aide je craque ^^
[G1 Android Development] Thibale:
Concernant l'image de boot donc, si quelqu'un est arrivé à la reflasher avec le SPL d'orange, je suis preneur :-)

Lors du flash, j'ai:

"FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"
[G1 Android Development] Dancorp:
You can try to flash the splash screens by using a fastboot command...

1. Run your phone in Fastboot mode (Back+power) and connect usb cable.

2. Extract files in a directory on your computer.

3. Run fastboot.exe in the same folder :

> fastboot flash splashscreen1 splashscreen1.img

> fastboot flash splashscreen2 splashscreen2.img

if it works fine, you will have the "htc dream" startup logo...
[G1 Android Development] Thibale:
Thanks for your suggestion Dancorp but it's exactly what I did and I got an error saying that the remote signature verification has failed :-(

It's an Orange SPL related issue I guess.

Have you flashed yours? Do you have a French Dream DREA200 ?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Dancorp:
No, i have an ADP1 phone.

I have never saw this error message...
[G1 Android Development] Murphy2712:
Orange fastboot does not allow any flash without Orange signature.

But we could boot into a custom boot.img.

Then we have root access through adb.

Is it possible to flash splashcreen with adb?

Maybe with flash_image tool?
[G1 Android Development] geek78:
if you really want to change your splash screen you have to do:

copy the second file of my post 111 on the sdcard (thanks Arsime ;))

rename the zip to update.zip

fastboot boot recovery-from-jfrc9.img

ALT+S

fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

I have now another splash on my orange dream...
[G1 Android Development] jaygeek:
I just Hard reset my dream and the problem is still here :(

[G1 Android Development] Thibale:
yes I can confirm! No brick at all! I've also put the 1st bootimage you provided Geek78.

So now, with this SPL, we can flash anything like the Dev Phone right?

We can even update the radio. (btw, does the radio version we can found linked in this thread works well?)

Anyway, thanks guys!

I think it worth posting it elsewhere like on frandroid or smartphone france forums or stick it in the 1st post SPL-related over there.

It's up to you ;-)
[G1 Android Development] jaygeek:
C'est bon, tout fonctionne à nouveau, j'ai enlevé la batterie, hard reset, un flash_image boot avec mon boot.img sauvegardé, tout désactivé puis réactivé et c'est reparti.C'est bon maintenant j'ai un os tout en anglais :)

Merci encore pour ton support.
[G1 Android Development] Murphy2712:
I confirm too, with "update-spl-orange-without-check-fastboot-signed.zip" we can use phone's fastboot to flash what we want :)

But the phone's recovery mode still doesn't allow us to install any update.zip so it's not like an ADP1.

Yes ! Booting on JF's recovery boot we could finally install update.zip!

Finally, comparing to ADP1 we need a computer to put an update.zip (using JF's recovery).

So I've put last haykuro's Cupcake update.zip and it seems to work quite good. Even accelerometer is ok. Anyone to test it on french dream ?

http://www.mediafire.com/?232myoilz3y (bolded 4.5 from here)
[G1 Android Development] Arisme:
yes, only the fastboot signature check is patched in that bootloader.
[G1 Android Development] Thibale:
I've just updated the Radio + Cupcake 4.5 rom using the links provided by Murphy2712 and... It works like a charm :-D

With virtual keyboard and so on! My apps installed previously are even still there!

The physical keyboard remains in qwerty but I've seen a fix around there...

Will try to find an apply it.

Anyway, you can upgrade with no worries!

Cupcake 4.5 rocks
[G1 Android Development] Thibale:
Ok I've found the post:

But it seems that I'm not root anymore (permission denied when I type "su")

So how to get root now?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Murphy2712:
I'm root with this update (with adb).

What's displayed when you type "id" ?

The permission denied are when you type "su" or when you type the cat commands ? If it's the cat you just need to remount the /system as NOT readonly:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[G1 Android Development] rahan:
sur quel os tu es? vista ou xp?
[G1 Android Development] Thibale:
Do not mind my previous post, we can't get root but there is a confirmation dialogue box to accept on the phone in order to execute command shell.

I used the code from Murphy2712 to bypass the read only and will now see if the french keyb work or not...
[G1 Android Development] Murphy2712:
If this method doesn't work, we have updated the howto:

Ok everything works fine with the AZERTY method posted above.

The cupcake 4.5 works perfectly, accelerometer, camera and so on.

after flashing the rom, make sure to wipe the device to remove all the old parameters from your old ROM (will remove your apps though)
[G1 Android Development] c4software:
hmmm nice, i will wait until the 15 April if orange didn't release the Cupcake for the French Dream, i will try this on mine :)
[G1 Android Development] koxx:
Salut Thibale,

tu as pu essayé le BT en A2DP & AVRCP ?

si ca marche bien, en CupCake en 4.5 full FR, quelqu'un pourrait-il ecrire un tuto ?

Moi, j'ai un peu les chocottes de reprendre le post et de faire le tri pour flasher vu les soucis qu'il y a eu... mais j'ai vraiment envie d'avoir une cupcake :D (le calendrier en page d'acceuil me manque trop)

Translation for non french guys (who's reading a special french topic for french dream version ???) :

Thibale,

did you try BT with A2DP & AVRCP ?

if cupcake 4.5 in french configuration works fine, can somebody write a tutorial ?

I'am a little bit affraid of bricking my phone if I have to read all topic pages.
[G1 Android Development] c4software:
If all its works on Cupcake its can be cool, if a post can regroup all information to upgrade to this version :)

pensez a remplir le site http://www.frandroid.com/ et son forum aussi...
[G1 Android Development] geek78:
you should read all the thread , this is the best way to understand what you are doing and to avoid big mistake ;) and please speak english, this is an english forum where everybody try to speak english... you will avoid ban or a thread lock ;)
[G1 Android Development] koxx:
post traduced in english ...

honestly, even if I know a basics about Linux (and I'm starting android programming), I really don't understand everything about different flash operations.

Few question examples :

- why do we have to start flashboot with different images each time ?

- what does flashboot do exactly ? loading something directly into phone memory ?

- what is exactly SPL ?

- what about DREA100 & DREA200 (didn't understant anything) ?

- what is the difference between 4.5 version and 4.9 version of android ?

- how flash memory is organize into our dream phones ? (different sections for SPL ? bootloader ? main os ?)

- what about flashloader key check ? is it really bootloader that check ?

I'am reading the android section at least 1 or 2h per day since 1 week, and I still doesn't understand everything. I don't wan't to TRY to flash by reading everything, and i just don't want to brick my 300€ phone... tutorial is a good solution to reduce mistakes, espectially if some peoples understand all my questions for example...

glad to see you there geek98 (since last time at Gare St Lazare, for S620 if a well remember).
[G1 Android Development] jaygeek:
Same here everything works fine.

BIG thanks to Murphy2712 :) and everyone
[G1 Android Development] Thibale:
Hi Koxx,

No I didn't test the BT AD2DP as I do not have such device. However the bluetooth works perfectly.

I'll try to post something to sum up the steps to install Cupcake on Tuesday (if I have the time to).

But anyway, once you've flashed the SPL with the 2nd one provided by Arisme, it's quite simple : flash the radio, then flash the firmware using the fastboot command geek78 posted above, that's all.

Without this SPL it would have been way more complicated.

Since now, we can flash almost whatever rom we rom on Orange Dream easily.

You're right neoxakira, it would be interesting to post a link to these posts on frandroid or even smartphone France forums.

Funny things, in the "about" section of the settings, the Dream is stated as a "HTC Magic" :-)

Also, FYI, I've already sim-unlocked mine via http://www.unlock-now.com/ . For 17,5€ this is a good deal IMO.

[G1 Android Development] greg35:
F**k the H as no google sync !!!
[G1 Android Development] geek78:
yes but we have exchange sync !
[G1 Android Development] greg35:
the htc rom is much sexy than the google one!! seems to be a little fast..?
[G1 Android Development] Thibale:
No Google sync?? what do you mean greg35?

I get a full google sync (mail/contacts...) with the cupcake 4.5 firmware posted above.

Try to wipe your device after flashing in order to "factory reset" it.

by the way, some options remain in english even when we choose "french" as the main language. But that don't bother me at all :-)
[G1 Android Development] greg35:
I mean that the 5.0.1H-appstosd-signed.zip haven't any sync option with google
[G1 Android Development] billdangerous:
Does this action change Orange SPL?

I don't understand, what is really SPL? Is it program that load boot.img? Or is it boot.img?

I read that Orange firmware (Orange firmware is different than Orange SPL isn't it?), checks SPL and if signature of SPL is different, Orange firmware won't boot. So how is it possible than changing splash image (part of SPL) is possible?

Is it possible to have a link of different steps during a boot? For example, IPL then SPL then boot.img? I am a bit lost :(

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] c4software:
Installing the 5.0.1H, Possible on the french Dream (Without SPL Modification?) ?
[G1 Android Development] Murphy2712:
It's fastboot. Orange SPL is locked so we boot into a special recovery mode using fastboot.

Fastboot allows you to flash partitions of your phone. Or boot into a custom boot.img. Here's a manual.

It's a sort of bootloader. Integrating fastboot mode and recovery mode.

Just read SPL thread. Also my post.

Google ADP1 and US phones are models DREA100.

French and Italians phones are models DREA200. Don't know much about the differences.

Here's all.

4.5 is Google product line and 4.9 is from HTC.

Look at previous fastboot one for main flash parts. For SPL and radio I don't know where they are stocked.

For easy flashs you should put modified french SPL. It works fine and allows you to flash your phone without orange signed files.
[G1 Android Development] Murphy2712:
I think H means HTC branch, which miss some Google features.

Did you try 5.0G (I think Google branch) ?
[G1 Android Development] koxx:
Thank you very much Murphy2712 !

I'll read all links ;)
[G1 Android Development] c4software:
Nice, starts, it don't seems to bad. changing the spl by an unsigned spl is not a problem for futur Orange update ?
[G1 Android Development] geek78:
hi

have you tried it ? I don't know how this can work... the spl is patched for update with fastboot not for update with the recovery tools. Even if it works the update will update also the boot and i think that this new boot won't be able to deal with our spl...

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] imaginarynumber:
Hi all

Rather than hijacking other threads I thought it might be of help to others if I start a new one.

Having spent hours trawling thru the other threads I have now concluded that I need the help of one of the wise sages such as Cmonex or Olipro.

I decided that a thread might benefit others rather than just pm'ing them.

Ages ago i bricked my ameo.

I had upgraded to spl 3.5 and had been playing with one of michy's roms. Whilst the rom worked fine the boot-up splash screen had become corrupted, I also noticed that the camera had stopped working/initialising.

In an attempt to get the camera back I tried various other roms and decided to downgrade to spl1.2 so that I could go back to a stock rom. In a moment of stupidity I accidentally tried to reflash using a spl3.5 rom.

This resulted in a invalid model id message.

In desperation I did the old vol key down and reset pin. Told the ameo to restore.

From that point onwards the unit is no longer recognised by my pc, in the tricolour boot screen it initialises and says loading 0058002 and then displays

IPL-v1.00

SPL-v1.20 Olipro

I have tried the mtty option, using different computers and different leads, have even tried running the program from the root c: to no avail.

The problem is that whilst in boot loader screen on connection to the pc there is no usb option displayed, nor is there a usb option in the mtty drop-down list.

Pdajoy kindly suggested using a mini sd card to flash the unit. I purchased a micro sd with a mini adapter. Formatted the card to fat32, renamed the ndc file booted to the tri colour boot screen and hit reset. All that happens is that is tries to boot the old fecked o/s and gets as far as a blank grey screen and no further.

I really do miss my ameo- the screen on my touch pro is just too small!!!

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] pdajoy:
Hope is a typo error here, should be

"rename the RUU_signed.nbh to ATHEIMG.nbh"

Did you removed your SIM card before applying?

Sorry my bad for not warning you in advance.

Grey screen, you mean no text at all. Total blank grey?

Am just curious.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] imaginarynumber:
hi Pdajoy

I had renamed the files ATHEIMG.nbh, the reference in my post above is a typo. There was no sim in the phone either.

The screen after it tries to load the old corrupt rom is just a grey mass- nothing else, no text or images.

The two pics listed show the ameo booting and then the grey screen.

I had the same exact problem (even the screen was the same) and didn't realize that the initial screen that shows up isn't the bootloader. fixed it by waiting for the grey/white screen, holding the volume button down then reset button and camera button + reset which brought me to the actual bootloader. From there I installed the latest AP rom, updated my radio and installed mitchy's 6.1

Hi, I have follow the various steps above, however I cannot boot my Athena after words.

I am lost! I have followed exactly the steps:

1. disable activesync and put mtty into the C:/ root

2. connected athena as usb and booth with 3 colors screen

3. run mtty

4. done the cmk

5. selected port usb and created the .bin file for my SPL (1.2)

6. in mtty run task 32 and went up to: "code entrypoint unknow"

When I boot again my Athena I get the same dark screen with blue stripes:-(

It looks like you did the wifi fixx correctly but the rom is still corrupted

Go into bootloader to confirm your SPL and then flash an spl appropriate rom

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] puffo:
So, how to proceed now?

Dear Iakeman, all,

how can I confirm now my SPL and than flash the ROM?

I confirm that on my 3 color band screen I have:

IPL-v1.00

SPL-v1.20 Olipro

So, what is next??? If I just reset or restart the Athena in the normal way I will get back the dark screen with blue stripes and nothing will happen....

Do I have a this stage to install a new VM ROM? But I am wondering if I can do that since not sure that in this mode the Athena can communicate to my PC and so being able to upload on it any ROM....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] lakeman:
You have confirmed that you have spl1.2 by quoting what you have seen in the tricolor screen.

Get back into that screen , making sure you have removed the sim and sd card and then conect to your computer via the usb cable.

You would have downloaded an spl1.2 rom ( you previously stuffed the radio by trying to flash an spl3.5 rom) and then run the romupdateutility .exe .

then you should be sweet!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] imaginarynumber:

Dear Iakeman,

thank you so much for your kind reply. So at this stage I can try to upload to my Athena device, basically, any spl 1.2 rom of WM 6.0, or 6.1 or even the 6.5 beta?). Or I must start with spl1.2 rom WM 6.0 ?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] puffo:

just a thought.

Once you finished doing mtty, did you reenable usb in activesync as per this post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=387454&highlight=mtty&page=2

the other thought was is the usb cable and the usb port able to sync with other wm devices? maybe the slot on your athena is faulty?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] imaginarynumber:
Hi Lakeman

Thanks for the reply.

It is possible that the usb port is faulty but it seems improbable that this should have failed at exactly the same time as me stuffing up the O/S.
