Help! PB99IMG.zip not loading

Hi guys,
I have a problem where I am trying to flash a rom by placing PB99IMG.zip in the root of my SD card and booting into HBOOT.
HBOOT checks for all the standard files but skips the PB99IMG.zip I loaded as if it wasn't there.
Does anyone know why this could be happening?
I tried different zips, ones I downloaded directly from shipped roms and another one I extracted from an RUU. None of them seem to be recognized, they all get ignored.

Which RUU did you get the ZIP from? And have you called it PB99IMG.zip (not .zip.zip)?

The SD card ur using is it a goldcard
The Best Things Come To Those Who Wait

I tried these ones:
RUU_Bravo_Telstra_WWE_1.15.841.14_R4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_123851.exe
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Telstra_WWE_2.26.841.2_Radio_32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14_release_150162_signed.exe
The later one was downloaded straight from the HTC website, after inserting my IMEI number so it's official.
I also tried to make a gold card but it still didn't work. I am also rooted so I shouldn't need a goldcard anyway?
Does the HBOOT on the phone (currently 0.93) have to be the same version as the HBOOT that the zip is expecting?

Found this somewhere else, xda is being funny at my end else i'd reference it properly and give credit where its due.
You can extract the ROM.zip from any RUU to install via ZIP
Start the RUU and once at the first main screen click Start>Run and type
%temp%
now, find the newest folder and in there will be a ZIP file called Rom - copy this to your desktop and rename it PB99IMG. Now copy this to your SD card and start the phone in HBOOT (turn it on whilst holding volume down). It will find the file and start the update. Just follow the instructions...
It will wipe your phone, though

Hello Yoda,
What you describe is exactly what I did. I renamed the rom.zip file I found in the temp folder to PB99IMG.zip (not ...zip.zip).
I booted into HBOOT but the file just gets ignored. I also installed alpharev custom HBOOT to see if S-OFF would make any difference. It still gets ignored!!
Can anyone help?
If not, is there any way to downgrade HBOOT (say from 0.93 to 0.92) without using PB99IMG.zip?

I had same problem with HBOOT 0.93
You need to downgrade to stock Hboot.
I used this tool :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
Follow the instructions ( my phone was not branded , worked for me without a gold card ) , downgrade , after that unrevoked3 , alpharev = S-off Desire

Hi aditirex,
I tried tool you mentioned. I ran the linux version. Everything looked promising, I got no errors but the downgrade didn't happen. I still have HBOOT 0.93 when I rebooted.
Does anyone else know any ways to downgrade HBOOT without using PG99IMG.zip?
(I even tried to format with FAT32 using a card reader, and then the goldcard tool - still nothing)

Anyone? Please?
I really need to get this done to claim my warranty.
I read in another post that you can flash HBOOT using the android SDK:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
But I'm guessing this is an image saved by a nandroid backup.
Does anyone know if I can obtain the img file from PB99IMG.zip?

[Q] Where to find correct RUU in zip format?

I need to upgrade my HBoot from 0.80.x to 1.01.x but I don't use windows so I need RUU in zip format. The thing is that I don't know which RUU I need and where to find it in zip format. Can someone help?
Thanks.

You will need OpenRUU:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711298
The correct RUU will be Froyo WWE 2.22.405.1

Nice, thanks, I will try it.

OK, I extracted rom.zip from RUU. What do I do with it now? Yust flash it in recovery?

Rename to PC49IMG.zip, place on SDCard, and just reboot in bootloader mode. It will automatically detect the file and attempt to install it.

Done that and it worked.
after running revolutionary my phone is finally S-OFF.
Thanks.

HTC One X return to stock

Hi,
I am trying to return my HTC One X to stock from the resurrection mod.
I have Clockworkmod recovery.
I am from New Zealand and I downloaded this ROM: (Which is the only NZ one i can find on the HTC website)
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Telecom_NZ_WWE_1.26.781.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251287_signed.exe
I ran the RUU exe file but it cannot connect to my phone.
I did some digging on this forum and found that i can run the RUU exe program and at the second step just copy the rom.zip from my profile to my sdcard:
Eg: the rom.zip from here:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\{691A6002-109A-4563-A4CB-6EFF452FDBEF}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}
It then said i can boot into my recovery mod and install the zip file.
I went to clockwork recovery mod and tried to install from zip file. However it says:
E:Can't open /storage/sdcard0/rom.zip (bad)
I am thinking maybe I ahve the rong ROM for my phone..
My version-main: 4.19.781.6
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong... do i have the wrong RUU?
Thanks for your time.

In order to resturn to stock rom you will have to run an ruu
to run an ruu you will have to lock your bootloader
