Does anyone know if a Mobilicity Panache PD15IMG.zip exists? And if so, where can I find it? I need to send my phone in for replacement/repair.
Although I know a Mobilicity RUU exists, I can't use it because my USB port is damaged and does not transfer data, only power. It isn't a software issue because the USB connection is also not detected by fastboot as well.
I'm currently running a custom ROM, and although it seems possible to unroot the gfree method, I have no way of getting back to stock software since RUUs aren't an option. If anyone knows where I can get a stock Mobilicty PD15IMG.zip (Android 2.3.3, Sense 2.1) and would kindly send me a link, I'd be grateful.
You tried an alternate usb cable and port?

I've tried multiple cables, multiple ports and multiple computers.
Computers show the USB devices, malfunctioning, not recognized, etc.
Fastboot does not show any signs that USB is connected, as it normally would.
Glacier shows that it's charging via USB, but the usual notification for connection type (Charge only, mount USB, tether, etc) does not come up.
You can extract the PD15IMG from your RUU and flash it in HBOOT.

Are there any specific instructions on how to do it or is it self explanatory?
Self explanatory being open RUU as archive and extract, I'm assuming. I'm not at home or near a computer so I can't do it right now. If those are the proper instructions to do so, I'll try it later and report back.

I'm not 100% sure if RUU will open as archive, and if it won't - run it and make several steps in it, just don't get to the flashing part. Then look in the same folder or in %TEMP% (Windows' temp dir) for the huge .ZIP file.
Or just google "extract zip from RUU", 2nd result is this:

The RUU does open as an archive. However, I would consider it to be useless as the files are not in a proper format.

Running it, however and looking for the huge .zip file worked. I have the .zip which contains the following files:

radio.img
rcdata.img
boot.img
recovery.img
system.img
splash1.nb0

modelid: PD1510000
cidnum: DAVE_001
mainver: 2.09.1800.1
hbootpreupdate:2

Looking at the files contained and the text in the .txt file, I'm guessing that this will be flashable in hboot, since that's how the RUU installs anyways. Thanks for your help, Jack_R1. I'll report back if this works or not.
EDIT: The .zip is accepted by hboot and successfully flashes. Thanks for your help, Jack_R1!

This is total fluff, but...if you're tired of the Sprint Ahead animation during startup of your device, and are sick of iPhone users whipping out their 'units' to show you how purdy they are...try this on for size.

I made this the same size and frame number as the original so you simply have to drop it into your \windows directory...right-click the image above and 'save picture as...' and rename to 'SPCS_startup.gif' (btw - it doesn't loop...so if you didn't see it, refresh your browser)
Enjoy!
-E
you could just turn off the startup animation using the configuration tools available on this site.
Yeah...I'm aware of that...but where's the fun in that? (also, mine doesn't seem to boot any faster without the animation)
-E
how would i go about this on a vzw xv6800? i am not seeing the SPCS_startup.gif in the windows folder. I'm assuming the startup animation is under a different filename. Anyone know?
can you explain how to do this step by step? sorry just got my phone and still trying to figure out everything
Tried to do this per your instructions on my Mogul but the original file on the stock rom won't delete and it also won't let me copy this one in it's place. What now?

Yea I had this same issue..It doesnt allow you to rename it...or delete it either. Guess its not as easy as he made it seem.

Try copying it to the device first (like in my docs) and then use the file explorer in the device to overwrite the old file.
If you try to do it from your desktop it will simply say the file is protected...
But if you do it from the device it will ask you if you really want to overwrite the file and release it just long enough to let you change the file.
I did this from my Mogul not from the desktop. Used the device to go to this thread. Copied the .gif to my storage card, re-copied and tried to paste to the Windows directory. It asked if I wanted to replace the file with this one. I tapped yes. Error message: File cannot be replaced. Tried to delete the original file. Error message: File cannot be deleted. I appreciate your help with this. I'm not a noob, I just don't really post or upload anything.
use total commander
worked great thanks
Sorry for not explaining it further...and for not getting back to those who were interested. I guess I never even tried to copy directly from the desktop OS...I always pull data from my desktop to storage on the device before doing anything with it.
I'm glad that somebody else out there thought this was at least a little amusing and decided to throw it on their device.
I am trying to root my samsung galaxy s and tried for 3 hours yesterday until I decided it was not going to happen. First, I'm on android 2.1 and used two ways to attempt to root it.
The first way I tried it was by downloading the update.zip file and connecting my phone and placing it into my internal memory drive (I put it in the folder with 12gb). Then I rebooted my phone into recovery mode and clicked reinstall packages. But an error came up saying something like it can't find the update.zip file. I did this like 5 different times renaming the file and putting it in different folders but nothing worked.
The second way I tried was the one click method. I downloaded the one click app and followed all the directions but once I'm in the reboot mode it again said can't find the update file
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
If you're using Windows, make sure "hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked in Control Panel. It could be that the file is named, "update.zip.zip"
Also, it has to be in the root directory. Meaning, not in a folder. Just drag it to the SD Card.

Idk if this is the root directory but this is what I do. Ill plug my phone in the computer and then ill have two drives show up. One is my phone and the other is my memory card. I put it in my phone not in a specific folder inside the internal memory.
If thats not the right place can you give me step by step directions to where I should be putting the file.
Thanks
When you download the update.zip file its original name is not update.zip, i forget what its originally called but you HAVE to change it to update.zip for it to work, thats the only reason i can think of why it couldn't find the file.
Ok so after I hide the extension like the 2nd comment said I have to rename it to update or update.zip? If I rename it to update it would still be update.zip but the zip part is hidden bc.of the settings right?
Thanks guys
If you uncheck "hide extensions for known file types" then it will show extensions (or, unhide them, if you will).
Then you'll be able to see the full filename. It should be: update.zip
...no more, no less.
Ok guys, I did everything you guys told me to do. This is the error I get now,
E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I don't know if I'm putting them in the wrong folder or what, but I don't know why I keep getting this error.
Have you followed this guide?

It should not be in a folder, just the root of your internal.
Try the 1 click root again. its hard to mess up.

I went to the download page at http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision and there are a bunch of .exe files there. My computer (Win7) was originally installed in Chinese, I have since changed it to English. BUT the installer detects Chinese somewhere in the system, and displays all of the install menus in Chinese, so I can't read it. What do I have to do to install? Is there a set of screenshots anywhere so I can follow along? Does the .exe just dump installer files on your system, or just write directly to the phone over USB?
I'm returning the phone for warranty repair as there is an area of the screen where the touch doesn't work. Anything else I should do? Do they check to see if a cooked ROM has been installed, or if they see it's stock, just proceed with the warranty? I suspect I'll get an entirely new phone.

Saw it, but the roms from the linked site are not Asian, can't use them.
The exe extracts the rom.zip and the tools to flash it (adb, fastboot) to %temp%, you could go there and flash the rom yourself, or you can just click next on the exe a bunch of times, with your phone plugged in, on fastboot usb mode.
-Nipqer
Why do I need my phone plugged in? I don't want anything to install, I can't tell what it's doing. I just want to extract the files.
You shouldn't need your phone plugged in. Just open the exe,so it extracts to %temp%, then drag it out of the way so you can find the rom.zip

well you can't flash an ruu through recovery so use the installer or find a pc10img to flash through hboot. make sure you are to flash the proper stuff or you will have a brick

I'm sure it works. Because it's a GUI to the bootimg.exe tool (available for free from Github), which is a modification of the bootimg.py tool (available for free from another Github). The internet is full of "content gateways" where someone wastes their talent on building a do-nothing program instead of something useful, like a tool that allows easy repartitioning/editing of a mmcblk0.raw image.

Sadly for some reason it requires the image being unpacked to be named "boot.img", when it's fully capable of unpacking any "ANDROID!" boot image for both Mediatek and Qualcomm.
I've used it to unpack boot and recovery for a Huawei Y536A1, boot factory laf recovery for a LGL16C, boot dfs dkernel recovery for an Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 7". I've never seen it fail to unpack a boot image yet.
