[Q] Flashing radio from HBoot - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have flashed the newest radio (26.09.04.26_M) via hboot, but I want to revert to the previous one because I was getting better download speeds. Unfortunately, every time I try to update it, it says "invalid image" or "no image." I have checked the md5 sum of the file, it is correct, I still have s=off, but I have tried multiple times to no avail. I don't have access to ADB, because I am at work. I am running Royal Fusion 1.06. Someone help me out here, please!

All you need to do is download the correct PD15IMG.zip from the radio thread and store it on the root of your SDcard. Make sure you've deleted the other one off your SDcard or it might be picking up both of them and throwing the error.

I have done that. In fact, this was a clean card that i used to install. In Astro, the file shows as PD15IMG. Under details, it shows as a .zip file. I don't have to rename it PD15IMG.zip.zip do I?

Check out this thread.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059347
But yes.

That's the thread I've been using. In fact, I've flashed each of the radios twice to see which worked best for me. Just for s&g's I changed back to my old sd card, and it worked! Not sure why it wouldn't play well with the new one, but all is well now. Thanks for responding!

Quick Question.

I recently bought a MyTouchHD.
Went through the entire s=off process which i did correctly.
But when i boot into Bootloader (HBoot) screen i get a message of "no image or wrong image".
I did flash Clockwork, and i can reboot into Recovery or HBoot. but that "no image or wrong image" kinda has me worried, but everything else works perfectly. ... anyone know anything about it?
I tried using DDMS to screen shot it but it wont work for one reason or another.
where is the error popping up at?
Is it trying to load a.img file in Hboot? Maybe try deleting it?

The error is at the very beginning of the HBoot start up process. It scrolls through several options then says the error message. I'll have to video and upload it via you tube so you can see.
after you did the s-off were you trying to flash a zimage to do overclocking by chance? if so, you might have removed the stock image for the OS to boot correctly. the stock image needs to match the stock bcm4329.ko file and vise versa for OCing. its just a thought. hope this helps.
Please post questions in Q&A section.

hmm thats kinda weird you might have had a corrupted file during the root process then. thats the only explanation i can think of. on the hboot screen you do show s-off on the top correct? if so than technically everything should be fine. if you can fully boot the phone up, download terminal from the market, install it, the there should be a $ sign, then type su then press enter, a message should pop up asking permission, accept it, it should change to a # sign, if it does then you have root access. just to be sure reboot the phone and do it again to make sure that root sticks.

Okay well then i guess i need not to worry about it.... If you guys are thinking everything is okay.
Your phone is searching the sd card for an update image, it is nothing to worry about.

very possible since the first thing i did was rip out their class 2 card and kept my class 6 card. I guess i'll boot into Linux and look for a file to transfer over.

This is correct. You don't need to worry about finding a file to put on there or anything. Hboot does this everytime you boot into it regardless of you. It is automatically looking for an update or diagnostic file to load and/or flash that isn't needed for the phone to function properly. Its an error but not one that you need to worry about unless you go to manually update through hboot, place a file for the update named PD15IMG.zip on your sd card, and it still gives you the error.

Can not flash other ROMs?

Hello. My EVO is updated with all the new firmware and such as I just got it. I have my EVO rooted using the unrevoked method. The PC36IMG is the only thing I can flash to. When I remove the PC36IMG from my sd card and try to flash another ROM I get errors. When I put the PC36IMG back on the card it will find that image and load it and it goes back to sprint lovers. What do I have to do to flash another ROM?
It would help if you said what kind of errors you got.
Did you do a nandroid backup before you tried to flash? If you can't, you didn't root correctly or somehow broke your root.
The bootloader will always look for PC36IMG because it's the default recovery image name. Remove it and it will just tell you it's missing, at which point you flash a different ROM in the recovery menu (go to install zip from SD card).
Obviously you can flash to sprint lovers so I guess you got it rooted ok at some point.
Have you tried doing a full data/cache wipe before flashing to the new rom?
I cannot remember what errors I got at the time. I finally got my phone back to sprint lovers. Everytime I try to do a backup it will not do it, it will just reboot and loop on the white Sprint evo screen. I've tried to flash fresh and others and I get errors. I put the PC3IMG back on and it will find it, and load sprint lovers back on. I don't know what else to do at this point except just stay where I am at and hope nothing goes wrong.

[Q] ROM Not Installing Correctly on HTC Aria

I have rooted my HTC Aria which is currently running 2.1. I also have ClockWorkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 and the liberated_aria_FR008_signed.zip ROM for attn1. But when I try to install the ROM is looks as if it is starting to install but then when it says installing or something like that it jumps back to the Recovery menu screen and does not seem as if it has installed it completely. So I have tried this couple times and have rebooted through recovery and it just starts up as a restored version of 2.1 that was originally on my phone. Not sure what I am doing wrong. It seems as if everyone does this with such ease. Please help.

Number 1 mistake is booting into ClockworkMod with the USB cable connected. Disconnect the USB cable before you boot into ClockworkMod to flash the new ROM.

I have done that. USB was not attached to phone when booted into ClockworkMod. I just don't know why the ROM is not installing correctly. Anything else you can tell I may have done wrong?

You should make sure that you have a good download of the ROM by comparing the MD5 checksum of the zip file on your SD card with the MD5 checksum on the download page.

Did you download the ROM file to a PC and then copy it to the SD card? If so then here is a Windows version of md5sum that you can run and generate the MD5 checksum. Then compare that with the MD5 value this is on the download page. If the values don't match, then try downloading the ROM file again.
If you downloaded directly to the SD card, then you can make a "adb shell" connection and run the md5sum program on the phone to check the zip file.

Then it looks like Google will be your friend. I'm sure the Mac can generate MD5 checksums in some manner.
Anyway, so did you download to the Mac first and then copy it to the SD card or did you download it directly to the SD card?

downloaded to the Mac first and then .zipped it because my downloader auto-unzips files. then i dragged onto my SD card. Then unplugged USB and then booted into ClockWork Recovery. Did the restore and empty cache steps and attempted to install the Liberated ROM. It seems like it is installing but never seems to say complete. so then i reboot and it still goes to 2.1
i boot into recovery mode then i restore to factory settings, then i empty devlk cache which seems to not even run but just shoot back to the menu when i hit "YES". Then I go to install the ROM but it doesn't seem to be installing completely

As it is installing, what is it displaying on the bottom of the screen?
Try downloading from your phone browser. It may be the whole, unzip /rezip process that's fuxing it up.

It says:

But it does all that really fast and then just goes back to the ClockWorkMod menu screen. Then I try and reboot and it is still 2.1

Can't Flash new radio

I've been trying to flash a new radio because my data connection has been crappy lately but I can't in anyway. When I use adb, hboot wont recognize the PD15IMG.zip and won't update it. When I use fastboot, it will say "sending radio... " but freezes my phone and doesn't send it. Anybody have any suggestions please?

When you said it will not recognize what error are you getting?
with the PD15IMG all you do is download it to the ROOT of the SD card, then boot into the Engineering Screen and it should do everything automatically.
There is no error. It just says stuff like "no image .zip found" or whatever, but it always does that. Hboot just doesn't ask if I want to update the radio or not.

Nvm. I solved it by just manually moving the .zip to root of sdcard. It seems that I was doing something wrong in adb. Thanks

[Q] installation aborted

I'm a noob but not an idiot can anyone give me some advise can't seem to find a updated link. I'm permrooted and s-off. I've followed many instructions from here, unlock also youtube. Making sure to reset data, cache, dalvik but I keep getting a installation aborted when trying to flash ROMS. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I would say you need to specify more of what you're doing. I'd recommend installing Rom Manager, then in the Rom Manager app, do the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" (the app is in the market).
Then download whatever rom you want, like CM 7.1 and copy it over to your cf card. Then run the Rom Manager again, and tell it to 'Install ROM from SD Card'
Realize, as is always stated, I am not responsible if you brick your phone. Be very careful to ensure everything is done right.
Bad downloads sometimes abort. Have you verified the MD5 hash of any of the zips before you tried flashing? Also, what ROMs did you try?

Assuming you did everything else right, which seems likely since you got S off, this is the most likely answer.
It's also the easiest thing to try and fix because you can just redownload the ROM and try again with a fresh copy. And ROM's do get corrupted during downloads more often than you're think, so it's not unlikely that this is your problem.
Also, download it from the phone using Clockworkmod. Less chance of the file getting borked on the transfer to the SD card.

The downloaded rom should already be zipped, so no need to zip it. And if you need to zip them back up I think it has to be without compression.
Thanks everybody. Seems like i was making harder then it was. I just had to leave my computer out of it and everything works fine.
