I used unrevoked but this is the first problem I've had with anything.
With the unrEVOked method it is best and easiest to download a pc36img.zip from the unrEVOked website. Then replace the splash1 file with the one you want to use. Place on root of sdcard then boot into recovery. It will scan sdcard then ask if you want to update the Pc36img.zip just volume up for yes then new splash screen will be flashed.

I think I may have found the problem. Some how I turned s-on. Installing unrevoked forever. That should work.
when I boot into bootloader and it scans the p36img it doesn't give me an option to update. It goes straight to options list.
Be sure that you have the file named correctly. It should be pc36img.zip a lot of times there is an extra .zip at the end. And also be sure you have the correct contents inside the folder. It should be named exactly as the one you are replacing. Leave all the other files inside the .zip as is. Just replace the splash1 file.

still does not work. phone does not give me any opption to update .zip after scanning card. Never has. Even reinstalled the original pc36img.zip on zip. It scans but goes straight to the options list for fastboot, recovery, etc. My wifes evo does it to. They both have done it even when completely stock, before root.
And you are putting the .zip on the root of the sdcard right.

Yes and I've done everything. Renamed the .rgb565 img and put it in the .zip folder. The problem I think is the phone. I don't know why but none of the four evos I've worked on read the pc36img.zip. Why would this be. I've read some rooting tutorials that talked about rooting through the pc36img.zip file, but my phones have read and let me update. I don't get it!
Very weird. Don't know what else to suggest. I am at a loss.

We gave it a shot. I just don't know why it won't give me the option to update. Usually, with some assistance I can find out what I'm doing wrong and fix it. Thanks for puttin some time in to help.

Yeah sorry I couldn't help. That is all I got. Maybe its the bootloader. I will try searching for some answers in the morning. If you figure it out before me keep the post updated I would sure like to know what's going on.

I'm having issues unrooting. My USB port is broken (It will not even charge unless held in the right position), which is why I need to take my phone to the Sprint store to get repaired. I have already flashed the UnrEVOked s-on tool and that worked alright for me. The problem now is that whenever I try to flash the PC36IMG.zip through hboot, it will not recognize it. My hboot is version 0.93.0000. What can I do next? If any more information is needed, please let me know.
Thanks.
Idk bruhh, good luck with that tho.

What does "it will not recognize it" mean?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
By that I mean that when hboot loads, it will look for the PC36IMG's but it will just say "No Image!" underneath PC36IMG.zip.

Can you redownload the file, and double check that you have it named correctly?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I already tried that. I used 2 different mirrors and neither of them worked. MD5's were both good too. The names were correct also.
ok and you definitely renamed the file to PC36IMG.zip? I am just triple checking because that's a common thing people overlook sometimes. Or they don't realize they need to rename it. Or they forget that it must be put on the root of the sd card.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yeah, I know. But I've triple checked everything and it just does not seem to be working. I'm 100% positive that it's named PC36IMG.zip (yes, I've checked the file extension too) and it is in the root of my SD card.
Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried using nandroids but they didn't fix the fact that hboot doesn't recognize my PC36IMG (I was trying to downgrade updates to the phone, didn't work).

When u rename the pc36img, the .zip is already there. Try taking the .zip off & boot into hboot. If it is named right & on the root of your sdcard it will load it.

I got it, I had to hold the USB cable in the right position and I flashed it using Fastboot.
OK, so for the last couple of months I've been putting off updating with the ota just because when I tried to do it, it wouldn't go through because i rooted with unrevoked forever and my security is off (S-off).. So I finally get around to do it, but I can't figure out how to turn security back on (S-on). I thought I could do it by running unrevoked again but this time uncheck Disable security on phone. Well I tried it like 5 times and I still got S-off. So how do I turn it back on to get the newest update, or does anyone have it in an update.zip format?

Why do you want to do that?
That said, if it's what you really want to do, then download the latest PB31IMG file from Doug Piston's Site. Rename the file to PB31IMG.zip, put it on the root of your sdcard, and reboot into HBOOT. Follow the onscreen prompts.
You'll still have S-OFF, but that's not going to prevent the ROM from installing. If you don't want to replace things like your recovery, radio, hboot, with the defaults then remove those .img files from the zip file.
Here, to get s-off the file i attached should work. Its from the get back to stock thread
So if I go get the newest pb31img.zip, that's basically the newest ota? And all I have to do is hboot install it?

So I was just playing around with the pb31img zip from Doug, and i opened one of the files and it pulled up some Starwars stuff... just kind of odd. Then I opened another one and now it says that service is not available anymore... Lol

Yes. Removing the recovery.img means that you won't lose your ClockworkMod Recovery. Alternatively, you could download CWM 3.0.0.8 for the Inc from and replace the recovery.img file in the RUU so that you're flashing the latest CWM instead of the stock recovery.
Similarly, you can grab your favorite radio version from this thread and replace the radio.img file. The one built into the RUU is 07.28, whereas 11.19 is the latest that works with our phones (even if it did come from the Evo). If you're not sure which radio works best for you, then I'd advise starting with the stock 07.28 radio, and seeing which works best for you over time. Different radio versions can have different effects for people depending on their location. For many, it can improve signal strength (and, correspondingly, battery life). For others it makes things worse.
Also, you can't flash S-ON on the Inc unless you're running the 07.28 radio.
What is different with the new hboot?

I'll be honest, I don't know. However, some ROMs require the latest HBOOT to work, so it's worth upgrading while you're resetting everything else.

No, that's not going to work quite the same way. I've never peeked into the OTA file to see what's inside, so I don't know what kind of results you'll get.
Thank you so much, that helped a lot! So I pulled the doug pm31img.zip, put the new clockwork recovery into a new pm31img.zip then copied the contents of Doug pm31img to the new pm31img with out the recovery.img. then re-zipped it, do I need to use no compression? (I used winrar to create the new pm31img.zip)
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Compression ratio doesn't matter -- I used max with 7-zip. Just make sure you use Deflate, not Deflate64 or any other advanced compression method.
And make sure it's name is PB31IMG.zip, not PM31IMG.zip.
Oh, and make sure your SD card is FAT32 formatted, not FAT16.
I need to beg for some expert help here. I'm pretty new to root and roms, but I have a friend who is even less sophisticated. He is nonetheless rooted and was running a CM7 nightly. Somehow he has gotten his EVO stuck in a boot loop at the splash screen that says HTC. He can't get into recovery from the bootloader to flash a nandroid.
I've exhausted my limited knowledge. I dumped PC36IMG.zip on the root of an sd card and the phone does see it from the bootloader, but when you try recovery from there it's right back to the boot loop.
Any ideas?
You put pc3 image file on sd card then go into bootloader than fastboot and it should say update yes or no and lick yes

Oh and dont put the p36img.zip dont put name zip
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
It only gives the option to update when l use the .zip file. Using the unzipped file (recovery.img) it doesn't seem to find the file.
Both end up back in the boot loop.
:/
What root method did you use?
What happens when you attempt to boot into recovery from bootloader?
Can you get adb access to the phone? If so you could try reflashing the recovery manually, which is very simple once you're set up for adb.
All hope is certainly not lost. Worst case scenario he ends up with a fresh install of the stock rom.
This is not a rare problem and there are a lot of threads in this section addressing it, with most unable to fix the problem. You'll have to search through my posts, but on one thread I recently posted a walk through I found that child fix the problem. It was in the last week, do you should find it.

The PC36IMG.zip you reference, is it for a RUU or a recovery? Since you're able to get to the bootloader, there is still hope. If you have a PC, you can download one of the executable files from HERE, connect your EVO via USB and then run the executable. You can also try re-flashing the recovery. I suggest using AMON_RA. Flash its PC36IMG.zip file from the bootloader.

I have a rooted phone by unrevoked and have clockwork mod recovery 3.0.6.(Because the latest version wouldn't work with the rom i was trying to flash) and flashed the rom but the it wont boot. im stuck at the white screen and when i try to go to recovery it just crashes with 2 white vertical lines on the sides of the screen. I have no idea how to fix this. someone please help me
That's you having an incompatible CWM on an slcd screen. Update to a different one by flashing it in hboot.

how do i get hboot to use the zip file instead of the other cwm recovery because its not working. Also do i have to name the zip anything?
You put it on the root of your SD card and boot into hboot by booting while holding power and volume down. It will automatically find the file and ask you if you want to flash it. It has to be name PB31IMG.zip
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
My phone did not automatically reconize the file in hboot when I named it PB31IMG.zip. So I went to the Verizon store. They're sending me a new phone but i would still like to get this one to work because they let me keep it. I'm probably going to send it to a guy that can rewrite the software. However since Im running low on money I probably wont send it in for a while so if anyone notices anything i didnt or thinks they know the problem, please let me know. Thank you
cvbcbcmv said:
it's probably PB31IMG.zip.zip. Try getting rid of the .zip and see if your extracting program will still recognize it, if yes, it has a hidden .zip, and keep it like that, if no, then you need the zip there. Can you do that for me? That's probably your problem.
Click to expand...

Yes, this happened to me early on. You ususally don't see the extension (the .zip) part of the file name, so when you add it you are creating a file named PB31IMG.zip.zip. So like the good person above says, just make it say PB31IMG and it will likely be fixed. If not, THEN make it say PB31IMG.zip
Good luck!
Yes got it. Wow that was frustrating. Thank you so much everyone who helped me
