Hi I have asked this question in the rom section but I guess it got overrun
Anyway the problem I am having when I use any HTC Sense rom and if I download file using the browser on the phone say for example abc.zip the file download as 1.bin
Can someone please explain how to correct thin problem or it a known short coming of all htc sense rom I do not have this issue with defrost rom.
Many Thanks
I havent got a clue how to stop it doing it but after its downloaded just use your file explorer to change the extention to apk then you can run it
There is some information on this thread it seems like few others where having the same problem

For me renaming it after the download does not work. What works, though, is renaming it before the download has started, when the browser displays the download confirmation window. Then simply change the extension from .bin to .zip. I'm using Samsung J500FN.

Thanks a lot, mine md5 matches yours and installed fine too.
Actually I downloaded several times to different machine and make sure they are same, then took the risk and installed. Just can't wait

I just recently picked up a evo 4g wimax from a buddy of mine that recently updated to a gs3 and I am trying to achieve unlocked/s-off. I am using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771755 and The zip file I downloaded from the thread contains a pc36img, The only thing though is every time I download from that thread the pc36img is corrupt and I can not find a download link that is working anymore. I did find this other guide http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...18-HBOOT-with-HTCDev-com-No-More-Watermark!-) that has a few pc36img files available to be downloaded but I tried http://d-h.st/XJX that one and the same thing happened, the downloaded zip file is corrupt. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?

If you mean that RootEvo4Gnew.zip file:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/RootEvo4GNew.zip
The PC36IMG.zip file that you are looking for is inside the RootEvo4GNew.zip file. Right now, it just needs time to upload.

Like I said, I know where its at, and everytime i download that zip file with the pc36img from the thread and extract the files everything is fine except for the pc36img which is somehow corrupt.
I tried your download link for the zip file and I just get sent to a dropbox 404 page.

I am confused as to why you linked me to that thread, I am looking for a specific pc36img that will downgrade me and allow me to achieve s-off. The only thing available in that link is a recovery img which I do not need.

Sorry, I misread your post. It was a long night at work last night, not always the best time for troubleshooting

Well, I know that.
That's why I said in the post that it needed time to upload. It should be OK now.

Downloaded from a different computer and still the same issue, file is corrupt. Trying to check the md5 value and it does not even give me a md5 at all matching or not. I am going to go to a friends house and try downloading it again.
Ok, I have tried from a 3 different computers, my tablet and my htc thunderbolt and everytime it ends up in a corrupt/invalid .zip file. Can anyone link me to a known good working file so I can downgrade my hboot and get s-off?

You downloaded from 3 different computers, probably through the same connection, but I believe you tried to run them from the same computer that failed every time, just a guess.
Just tried 2 of the links:
http://d-h.st/XJX
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/RootEvo4GNew.zip
and I'm currently in the process of trying the 3rd.
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/H...otEvo4GNew.zip from your link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1771755
They work just fine. The problem appears to be on your end. All three downloads are OK.
And if that's not the case, here is the same file that I have been using since last year that others have downloaded. So if this one fails as well, then yes, there is definitely something wrong on your end.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/P....15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed.zip
Also, I'm going to downgrade and S-OFF my old Evo with the same files just to verify that they are OK.

Stop trying to open the zip files and you'll be fine . The ones in my thread are fine, as was mentioned.
In the past with my thunderbolt and downloading the same files I have noticed if I can not open the zip file and see what is in it then it will not properly flash. But just for the sake of argument I will do it your way.

If you have to you could always download the froyo RUU and pull the rom.zip from it, rename to PC36IMG.zip and flash
To do this, run the RUU but do not click anything after it opens
With the RUU still open, open a "Run..." window (WindowsKey + R) and type in "%temp%" then enter to go to your temporary files folder
Sort the files by date modified and go into the most recent folders, find a zip called "rom.zip" and copy that to your desktop
Close the RUU, rename the "rom.zip" to "PC36IMG.zip" and you can then flash it through bootloader

Yep, the downloads do work. There is nothing wrong with any of the files. Phone went from 2.18, S-ON to 6.16, S-OFF without any issues from those same downloads.

I forgot about that trick, although I think I use to do it slightly different.

I also forgot to mention that before trying to open them to see if it was corrupt or not I try to check the md5 of the zip file, it does not even give me a md5 it also says the files are corrupt. I will try again though
I'm having the same problem. I just finished repairing my old EVO and looking to downgrade it to 2.15. All the links have bad files. Tried D/L from work, friends house, parents, and to my SGS3. Always get the same message..."cant open the folder... zipped folder is invalid." I've been to numerous sites about this and i'm always directed to the same files. This isn't a rare issue, it's a lot of people. There's something wrong with those files.

No, there isn't. The zip files are encrypted, so most zip programs will throw an error if you try to open them. They should not be unzipped. The files from my post have always and still work fine. Just follow the instructions and stop trying to open the zip!
NOTE: Some browsers will try to automatically open the zip file when download is complete. In that case, try a different browser.
No go, sir. Opening the zip or not, the fact is it doesn't work. I have a few of these files and none of them are recognized when boot loader is brought back up to flash the file. It scans the zip, can't find file, image or anything. Its the same thing no matter which one I use. I'll keep looking for a good procedure and a decent download.

There's nothing wrong with Captain's files or the pc36img.zip files given on this page. They work just fine as usual. I just downloaded one (again) and confirmed it.
Is your phone S-Off? Did you flash a mtd-eng.img file to your misc partition, so that it will downgrade?
If you answer no to both of these questions, then the problem is not necessarily the zip files, but is likely on your end. And if you answered no to both of those questions, then the zip files are not likely going to work for you.
And, if one of your answers is yes, then it could be a problem with your sdcard. Sometimes they are full, or not formated correctly, or have some other issue, which will also cause the files to fail. You cannot always assume that just because a file does not work the way you expect it to, that it is necessarily something wrong with that file.
The link below is of the site im talking about, i rooted my note 4 no problem before with this and im doing someone else phone. I downloaded the root files, go to extract and i get error and it wont do it. tried it 3 times on 2 computers same result. suggestions?
had to put a space before (.com) so it didnt show up as a link.

Open the archive with 7zip or winwar and drag the files to an folder/location titled appropriately, like root or Odin under a main folder like SM-N910.
Thanks, i will try that when i get home. Just odd it worked fine when i did mine and now it says its corrupt.
No go with 7zip.
Chain Fire has a policy against redistributing his work. When I go to his thread and follow the link, I end up with the link below.

Also, no md5 to verify a good download. I'd suggest the proper link from this thread and use a PC to download. Maybe the source or bad download is what you're dealing with? You did try open archive and select all, drag to suggested folder, right? Don't recommend extraction; just double-click Odin, once folder is created, to execute and pick the file as directed in the thread below.
