[Q] PB31IMG.ZIP Splash Screens - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am somewhat of a noob to this sort of thing. I rooted my phone and am running Frost ROM 2.1, I have a custom boot animation and it all works great....here is the problem. Before I knew how to use SDK tools I tried to install the PB31IMG.ZIP file to flash a new splash screen. It didn't work. Now when I try to use Hboot USB to flash a new image it still says it's trying to open the PB31IMG.ZIP file. The file is not found and gives an error.
A. I deleted the file from my sdcard.
B. I wiped the cache and did a system wipe as well.
C. I completely reinstalled the custom rom. Which I thought would reformat and get rid of all old data.
How do I get it to not look for the PB31IMG.ZIP file and flash a new splash screen?
Please help! Thanks!

flash a new room it is easy go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812572 he has many flashable splash screens and even a tutorial on how to make your own, it is somewhere in the thread, all you have to is download a splash, make sure it is named PC36IMG.zip, put the file on the root of your sd card, power your phone into HBOOT pressing down and power and holding till it comes up, it will find the PC36IMG.zip and ask if you want to update press up for yes then it will ask to reboot press up again and you should have your new splash HOPE THIS HELPS GOOD LUCK

stuck on white htc evo 4g screen

ok so i tried to update the radio wiimax and prl cause i wanted to update to myns rom something went wrong and now im stuck at the white evo 4g screen i did make a back up and tried to recover but its still stuck someone hellp please ..
any help would be great cant imagin being wihout my evo =[
it also says wrong image when i boot in2 hboot or recovery im a noob at this so if anyone can get back o me id be willing to give any info needed to fix this
also when going into nandroid to restore it says
"sd-ext.img not found skipping restore of /sd-ext."
I had a similar issue when I first flashed a ROM. What version of what recovery are you using? Is it clockworkmod or RA? You will probably need to flash a new PC36IMG.zip file to get it back up and running. I used the unrooted version found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
Then I re-rooted with unrevoked, and proceeded to reflash the ROM. If you are using clockworkmod, you need to change to RA, and if you are using an older version of RA you need to update. Let me know what you're using, and I'll try to help.

yes im using clockworkmod and how can i sync my phone with my comp to flash the pc36img.zip .?
You'll have to do it while in recovery. Pull the battery on the phone, and put it back in. Hold donw the volume down button on the side while you hold down the power button. This will boot the phone into the bootloader. After a few seconds it will scan for some files, just ignore that. Once it scans, you can move your sleection by using the volume down button. Move your selection to recovery, and push the power button to select it. Then you'll see the recovery screen come up. In one of the menus there is a selection for mass storage, or something like that. When you toggle that on, you can use your phone like a disk drive, and just drop the PC36IMG.zip file in the folder.
ok fter i do that what should i do
again thank you so much for your help
in clockwork recovery you will have
-reboot system now
-apply sdcard:update.zip
-wipe data/ factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-install zip from sdcard
-nandroid
-partition menu
- advanced
**You want to select partition menu**
Partition menu gives you thes options:
mount/data
unmount/ cache
mount/ sdcard
format system'format data
format cache
format boot
mount USB storage
**Now plug your phone into your computer and select mount USB Storage**
ok so in the exact order after i put the file on my sd card
In order to install the update, follow the steps below. This will erase everything you had stored in your phone, and set it back to how it was when you got it from the factory. Once you drop the new PC36IMG.zip file onto the phone, shut the phone off. If there's no menu option, then pull the battery. Then power the phone into bootloader again. It should scan for the same files, and this time find the one you put in there. When this happens a blue bar will show up on the right side. When the bar finishes, it will ask if you want to update with the new file. Say yes, and let it finish. It will probably restart once during the update, so don't freak. When it's all done it will ask if you want to reboot. Say yes. Now it will be back to stock. If you want to try to flash again, re-root using enrevoked. When that's done, isntall ROM Manager from the market. When that's installed, open it. At the bottom of the screen should be a selection for flash an alternate recovery (Amon RA), if it's higher than version 1.8, then install it and you're good to go. Clockworkmod has a lot of issues.
Did it work out for you?
yes thank you so much I got my phone up and running

Help, please!

I have been rooted for a while and I installed a new rom, all went good. Rebooted my phone and can't access anything. So i booted into recovery wiped data/cache and tried to re-install. That froze and locked up.
Now i can't load into Clockworkmod Recovery, it stays at my HTC Incredible white screen and never loads.
I cant access the device through ADB or Shell.....
How can I reflash the recovery, and install a backup from Clockworkmod?
Thanks!
Roger
Me personally I would go back to stock, re-root and then start over. It might take longer than just reflashing a recovery, but to me also makes sure that nothing else is corrupting the phone, just my $.02.
If you want to go about it that way you can follow this thread, gets you back to stock and then you can root it and go about regular business
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786436 - you just need to follow part 2
That sounds like a plan to me.
The link you provided wants me to push files to my sdcard and flash with clockworkmod. I can't access clockworkmod and cant push any files to /sdcard.....
So how can I get back to stock without being able to access clockworkmod?
You don't have a flash card reader/USB card reader? If not then i don't know how to help.
If you do, these are the only steps you need to follow. just put the file on the root of your SD card. You don't need s-on because you aren't taking it back to verizon for repairs. Even if you need to after you root it again you can use s-on.
2. Download this zip file: http://www.fourty.net/~berzerker/sto....605.1_RUU.zip
3. Push PB31IMG-3.21.605.1_RUU.zip to your SDCard, renaming it to "PB31IMG.zip" (no quotes)(delete any other PB31IMG.zip you might have on there before pushing).
4. Boot into HBOOT, and it should recognize the PB31IMG.zip. Start the update and go get a drink (it might reboot once or twice, don't worry about it).
5. When that's done, reboot and you're at 2.2 stock!

OK, so i got a card reader, put the file on there and booted into HBOOT.
Nothing happened. So i powered down the phone and now the phone won't turn back on.
If i plug it into a power supply the led flashes orange....
Now what? Is this phone toasted??
Finally got it working. After a few hours of trying to load the image it took and booted stock rom up.
Thanks for the help!

[q] phone won't go past booting screen after loading rom!

Hopefully I can get some answers here....I've got an EVO 4g.
Rooted it with Revoked 3, successfully.
Then, I went straight to downloading Cyanogen 7 from the website. It said it installed and went the the blue screen with the circling arrows. But, it kept re-booting over and over and never went to my home screen.
Heres where I'm at:
If I turn my phone on it goes to the white HTC Evo 4g screen shuts off and goes to Recovery.
I am able to get into my SD in USB on recovery.
I DID NOT Wipe before installing the rom. I prolly missed some steps, but hey, I'm learning now. When I tried to install the Cyanogenmod 7 again, it says this:
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img" ,
"boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/cm_supersonic_full-86.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted
PLEASE HELP!
Click on "amon_RA Recovery" in my signature to download amon_RA's PC36IMG.zip file and place it on the root of your SD card. Afterwards, shutdown your device. Now simultaneously, press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your EVO starts. Afters a short pause, a few lines of text will scroll across the screen. After that, the bootloader *should* automatically detect the PC36IMG.zip file and prompt you to install it. Follow the prompts to install it. Installation takes less than 10 seconds to complete. When it's done, reboot into your new recovery, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it EXCEPT the SD card. DO NOT REBOOT! Go to the flash zip menu and flash your rom. Afterwards, flash the GAPPS.zip, if necessary and then reboot your device. Be patient on the first boot.
Not wiping was your main problem, and with Amon Ra, anytime you flash a new ROM, after you do a nandroid backup of everything but cache, wipe everything, except the SDcard, like Dougjamal said.
That is a critical step.
And yeah, the first boot up will take some time, possibly up to 10 minutes or so...
Be patient. you'll know you're fine as long as the boot animation isn't bootlooping (freezing for a sec, then restarting the animation). Once your key lights come on, you'll know you're there.
ok, I'm going to try it. Yea...after I downloaded it it was bootlooping, so I took the battery out and when I put it back in, it wouldnt move past the htc boot screen. I'm trying that now. That PC36 file is only 3.45MB's. shouldnt it be bigger?

No sir. It is not a rom. It's a recovery. I got the link directly from amon's thread.
ok when I come into the boot screen it just reads the pc36img file and does nothing. Doesn't ask me to install or anything? What could cause that?

First of all, look at the top of the screen and see if it still states "S-OFF". If it states "S-ON', you need to re-root. Is there any other file with the name PC36IMG.zip on the root of your SD card? If there is, move it to a folder and leave the one for amon_RA in place. Also, make sure that the file does not contain a second zip suffix (For example: PC36IMG.ZIP.zip). If it does, remove the extra .zip from the name. If all of that has been checked, turn OFF your device and try again. It should take. If it does not, replace the file with a freshly downloaded one.
whoops had to flash unrevoked forever again.
Man I ****ing love you guys! It worked! Thanks alot! Sorry for the language haha.

[Q] Unrooting my phone. About to give up. Please help.

I followed the 2 step guide posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141
When trying to load the unrevoked-forever-son.zip, I get this error:
E: unsupported radio version
E: Update failed. Check /sdcard/soff.log.
E: Error in /sdcard/unrevoked (status 42)
When i went to research on how to downgrade the radio version, I find out that newer versions don't let you downgrade.
I'm not even sure what my friend used to unroot my phone. unrevoked or revolutionary?
Here are my stats:
Supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.17.0001
MICROP-041f
RADIO-2.15.00.05.02
Please please help. I'm about to give up and cough up the $100 for a new phone as my screen is completely broken. What do I need to do to get this phone unrooted?
Unrevoked s-on is not for your phone. Look for the "how to unroot revolutionary root" its the one with alot of? ?????? In the title. Use the search or Google it

Hello,
I am in the same boat. I recently purchased a EVO4G from a friend. The phone was rooted and I would like it to be unrooted. I've tried to unroot myself but it hasn't work. There was a pretty good guide here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141 that I tried to follow. Unfortunately, I could not get the UnRevoked S ON Tool to work and I ran the PC36IMG.zip file. I seem to be stuck in a loop and I cannot get past the HBOOT screen. Also, when I go to Recovery, I get a Red Triangle with an exclamation point.

5. Once in Hboot highlight and select the "Bootloader" option. Allow bootloader to detect the PC36IMG.zip
6. apply the update by pressing the up volume button when prompted. (will take several minutes for update to apply)
7. Check your Hboot to make sure you have S-on. If not, then **CLICK HERE** and follow Captain Throwback's method for getting S-on.
8. Enjoy newly unrooted phone
Zip file will replace EVERYTHING. Stock splash screen, boot animation, up to date OTA release, recovery, S-ON, and HBOOT.
I used this method last night when unrooting my phone because I thought I would have to take my phone into Sprint today. However, running this zip happened to resolve the issue I was having so I turned around and rooted again.
I would give credit to whomever it was I saw this unroot process from but unfortunately it was late and I was sleep deprived so I do not remember. Either way, I do not take credit for it whatsoever. If I come across the one who suggested it I will edit this post and give the credit that user is due.

I used the RUU method for unrooting my phone. Phone shows S-ON. But HBOOT still shows 6.17.0001. I'm sending the phone back to Sprint for a replacement b/c the charging port is loose.
Can I still use this method to get HBOOT back to factory settings?

OK, I figured out that, for some reason, the MBP was not reading the file as a .zip so I actually zipped it, loaded it onto the SD card and went into Bootloader. It found the file as a bar on the right side of the phone displayed and began to fill up. During this process, the following was on the screen:
Loading
PC36DIAG.ZIP
No Image
Loading
PC36DIAG.nbh
No image
Then after the blue bar fills the screen changes for a second and it says Parsing
Then it goes back to the Fastboot screen.
Any ideas?
Also, someone that unroots phones told me the issue I am having is called a "Soft Brick". Can anyone help?!
Thanks

What you are seeing are not the files you are trying to flash. You are trying to flash a PC36IMG.zip file, not a PC36DIAG file. You said you zipped the file on your own. You have to make sure that when it is zipped it is done so as a storage file and not with any type of compression. If you compress the file when it zips then it will not flash. So remove the zip file from your sd card, rezip it using ONLY storage method, recopy it to your SD card and then try to flash it. Make sure it is named PC36IMG.zip EXACTLY as I have written it. Also, make sure there are no other PC36IMG.zip files on your SD card at all. Otherwise you can cause problems.

Using that method will send you COMPLETELY back to stock. That method modifies your splash screen, boot animation, operating system, hboot version, radio update, and a few other things. When you flash that file you will be 100% stock, unrooted, and up to date.

The red triangle means that you do not have a recovery installed on your phone. If you can get into HBoot then use the method I posted above with the PC36IMG.zip file. That will take care of everything for you in one simple and painless step (including the red triangle).

Thank you for the help and now pardon my ignorance. What do you mean by zipping using a storage method? Is this normally an option in zip programs? Right now I only have the zip program that comes with OSX and The Unarchiver but I believe that is only for unzipping. Do you have any suggestions? EDIT: I found a program called Keka. Under the options, I picked "Store". I ran the zip, transferred the file to the memory card and the phone did not recognize the file. I even tried to download the file again from the post above and rezipped it using "Store", transferred it and tried again...same result. I am stuck.
In the past, I've tried to rename the file PCIMG36.zip without zipping it and the phone could not find the file.
Thanks

[Q] Incredible not booting into Recovery

Hey guys,
I've been running CM7 on my phone for a quite some time now, but now all of a sudden all my apps force close when opened. I tried a week a go to enter recovery (before the force closes) both manually and from RM with no luck. I can enter bootloader manually but when I choose recovery it just gives me the white HTC Incredible page and sits there with taking the battery out as the only option.
Any suggestions on what the problem is?
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried flashing recovery again?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
does that require RM? Because I can't open it as it FC's on me everytime...
Ok so from bootloader i tried a factory reset, and the same HTC Incredible splash screen. I think the problem is something to with the flashing, because when i start bootloader it says something about some .zip file not having an image. (sorry about sounding like a noob).

Flash recovery thru hboot (vol down plus power while phone is off) as a PB31IMG.zip, RM is not needed. You can get the recovery here http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=28. Download the PB31IMG.zip file and place it on your sd card in no folders. Boot into hboot, it will find the file and prompt to press vol up to apply. Then vol up to reboot. Then boot into hboot and select recovery.
In recovery, wipe everything in mounts and storage and also dalvik cache, and then flash the rom of your choice or restore a known working nandroid.
Thank You! I really appreciate it.
Saved me from throwing my phone at a wall
I downloaded the file, renamed to PB311MG.zip, moved to root of SD card (no folders) and when I boot into hboot, it does not recognize the file. Im just stuck @ bootloader, when I try to boot into recovery, HTC Incredible pops up for a second, and I'm right back where I was. Any clues?

That is an incorrect label. It must be: PB31IMG.zip
The number "31" is followed by the letter "I" in the .zip file name. Also, have you revealed file extensions with your preferred file explorer? You must avoid labeling the file "PB31IMG.zip.zip"

2 things....That was a typo on my end....it was a 31IMG, not 311MG, and my mistake was adding the .zip. I was able to get into recovery, did my wipes, and am restoring a back up as I write this. Thanks for the help.
Not a problem so long as everything is squared away for you.
