What are you trying to do?

I'm not sure what your goals were by flashing the PC36IMG you chose too, that is a stock build. Before you do things with your phone, make sure you do aloooooooooooot of reading/forum surfing to make sure you are doing what you want.
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915 and download this PC36IMG.zip and then flash that...it will leave you with a a rooted (albeit w/out superuser which you can download separately) 1.47 build (upgrade to current radio/wimax/rom from there)

Is it not loading the PC36IMG.zip at all? Your memory card needs to be an SDHC or it wont load the PC36IMG.zip.

Flashing the file you did will not upgrade your PRI. This is noted in the thread where it is available for download. Flash the PC36IMG from the thread I showed you that should work.

[Q] Original stock rom update.zip file

Hey I need some help. I have been trying to reformat my phone with the original stock ROM but I cannot get the RUU to work. Every time that I try to use the RUU executable file to reinstall the original ROM it can't detect my phone. I really need help with this my phone is incapacitated right now. If someone could help me find a rom that I could use here that would be fantastic. Thanks

what happened that your phone is not working? are you rooted, s-off? what rom where u on b4?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

It is S-Off and I am not sure if it is still rooted. I have been switching back and forth from the cyanogen mod and the stock rom, and I tried doing a system restore on the stock rom and it didn't really change anything but I don't think it can do root things anymore. It has been asking me to do a system update but every time I try to install it it fails.

Your failed update is probably due to your still having a modified recovery.
Something that could work for you:
>run the .exe for the RUU, then minimize it.
>start/run/type "%temp%" in the dialog box.
>search the output for rom.zip
>move the rom.zip to your sdcard and run it from hboot.
this should go through the rom installation and restore your rom. it's worked a couple times for me when I messed up recoveries.
Good luck!
BTW do you have HTC sync installed on your computer? not having that might be missing the driver for your phone.....just a thought

I tried extracting rom.zip out of the temp directory but the file was corrupted. Maybe the RUU doesn't work at all? I don't know. If you can get me a rom.zip that isn't corrupted that would be fantastic. Thanks!

Make sure SD card is formatted to fat32. Rename it so it is PB31IMG.zip(If on Windows and have fileextensions turned off rename it PB31IMG. The .zip will already be added.)
Put on root of SD card meaning not in any folders and boot into hboot. The phone will ask you to update, select yes and wait for it to ask you if you want to reboot.

Alright Now i have one last question. That worked wonderfully first thanks for the info. Now i need to reverse unrEVOked forever 's radio fix. Right now its S-OFF and I want to restore it to its original state when I bought it. How do I reverse unrEVOked forever?

To get s-on you need to have CW recovery. Wish you would have mentioned this before. You need to flash clockwork recovery again then apply the s-on. Then re run the previous PB31IMG.

Wow this is so freaking nuts. Ok so I tried running the S-ON .zip file that they provide using CW Recovery. Problem is now unrEVOked forever doesn't support my radio, radio-1.00.00.02.09. I will try to contact them unless you all have another idea. Thanks for your help so far!

If your still s-off you can flash a supported radio through Hboot much like the get back to stock PB31IMG you just ran. But if you ran the one I provided earlier you should be on a .92 hboot and a 2.15.00.07.28 radio, which is supported for s-on.

Here, download one of the ones that S-ON if compatible with and put it on the root of your sd card, and boot into hboot. Be sure its called PB31IMG.zip, or else it won't work.

Ok so I tried updating to a radio compatible with the unrEVOked S-ON update. When I try to run the file the recovery screen blacks out and then goes back to the main menu. It doesn't give me any output as to why that happened or if it even did anything.

You should flash RUUs from within HBOOT, not Recovery. An RUU includes everything from radio, to ROM, to recovery.
You can still do this with S-ON, since it is signed.

I'm not on the RUU I know how to install that. I need to use the S-ON .zip file that i got from unrevoked.com

You don't flash radios in recovery you flash radios in HBOOT. Make sure you rename the file to the proper filename then it should automatically detect it and install it.
Again like I said before, if you simply install the RUU from within HBOOT that would revert everything back to stock including the radio. Then you could run S-ON from within the stock recovery. But if you want to do it the other way so that you run the S-ON patch from within ClockWork that's fine too.

Haha well i have not explained things properly so let me explain where I am at right now very clearly.
Right now I have HBOOT updated using an RUU with a radio that unrEVOked forever works with. I have rooted and installed Clockwork Recovery. Now, I go to install the S-ON using Clockwork and then the screen blacks out and it returns to the Clockwork main menu without giving me any output.
Hopefully that clears things up

Ok sorry I thought you had trouble flashing the radio.
Yes I do believe the S-ON patch is installed within recovery, I just did it a few days ago and it worked fine. I was using the 7.28 radio. I believe I just did a normal .zip install in clockwork.
This sounds stupid, but make sure you're not pushing the power button. In ClockWork you have to push the optical pad to make selections, it's unlike HBOOT. I can't think of anything else.

[Q] unroot evo that's running cm7

I've been working on a phone for someone that someone else jacked up. I got it running better and installed cm7 stable. He wants it unrooted and reverted back to out of box condition. Problem Is I don't know which method the other person used to root it. Is there s. sdk file or how would I go about doing this? Thank you.

Scroll down to the FAQ, download the s-on tool, flash in recovery.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip
Rename to PC36IMG, place on root of sdcard, boot into the bootloader, apply update, reboot. That is a 3.70 RUU which will return him to stock, unrooted, s-on.

For the s-on tool, yes, install zip, then choose zip [done in recovery, flash like normal]
The PC36IMG has to be done in the bootloader [apply update after it scans and finds it] It can't be flashed in recovery.

Ok awesome that'd all I need to know for now thanks a ton. I forgot turning s-on obviously unroots lol

[Q] Unrooting the Evo

I have been trying to unroot my evo phone. I have read forums upon forums and I can't find my answer. Here is my dilemma. I am back to the stock rom and have run the file in Recovery so it says S-ON in the Bootloader. Having done this, I assumed that I unrooted it. BUT, I still have superuser permissions, such as wireless tether and whatever else. Help? Please? I need to unroot it so it can be sent in; the micro-usb port is dying. Thank you.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip
Rename to PC36IMG, place on your bootloader, flash in the bootloader. A 3.70 stock ruu, so that'll take care of that.

So should I delete the old PC36IMG file I have on it right now?

Yes, delete the old one. You can only have one PC36IMG on the sdcard at a time, or it won't scan; or you can always rename the first one, such as PC36IMG1, ect.

do i need to install the zip file in recovery? sorry, i'm a complete noob.

Its fine. And no, any PC36IMG has to be done from the bootloader.
To get to the bootloader, turn phone off, while powering on, hold the vol+down until you see the white screen with androids skateboarding. After a second it will scan, navigate with the volume keys, then press the power button to update, then reboot, and you'll be set.

thank you so much! i just ran it, so far so good.

HELP! Flashed system.emmc, flash stock recovery, now I don't know what to do!

So I've been trying to get the newest system update for my rooted phone. I flashed the system.emmc.win from the backup I made before I rooted my phone. That started doing a flash loop so I thought I would try flashing the stock recovery I found on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/1-32-401-8-stock-recovery-t3061895 Now my phone is on this "Android system recovery" screen and I don't know what to do! Please help!

Are you on your original firmware? S-on or S-off? What carrier?

Sorry, should have mentioned that. My carrier is Sprint and my phone is S-On. And I'm pretty sure I'm on the original firmware, I just rooted the phone.

Okay, first of all, you flashed stock recovery for GSM phones. I have no idea if that will work correctly on Sprint.
Hold down power and vol up buttons until you get to the bootloader screen. You may need to use the volume buttons to select "reboot to bootloader".
Are you saying you restored a stock backup in twrp? Or flashed that file some other way?
Your best and safest bet here is probably to run the latest Sprint RUU. It will wipe your phone, but everything will be clean and updated.

I flashed the backup using the fastboot commands via my computer
If I have a twrp back from earlier today, will I be able to get back most of my stuff after flashing the ruu?

Assuming it's on your external sdcard, it will be safe. You could restore that, but you'd be rolling the system files back to 1.32 on top of 2.x firmware, which would be unstable. You'd need to then immediately update your rom. But your data should be okay.
My recommendation would be to head over to the M9 Sprint forum before doing anything more, though. This is for GSM phones and the guys there would know for sure what would be best.

Yes, it is on an external card. If by chance the system wasn't backed up (just everything else on the phone) would that work out ok?
Also, while I'm waiting for RUU from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-one-m9/development/ruu-sprint-htc-one-m9-1-32-651-17-t3073355) to download, I just want to make sure I have the instructions right. If I rename the zip file to 0PJAIMG.zip, put that on the sd card, go into download mode, it should just read it like the thread says right?
Edit: Sorry, I didn't see the last bit of your post. I will go ahead and put up a post on the GSM forum. That's the same place I got that first stock recovery from right?

You might be better off heading over to that thread for help. There are some things in the OP that concern me, namely the "brick risk" referred to. I am not sure what they mean by using only a current version. On the GSM M9, you can upgrade that way; that warning seems to suggest you can't upgrade a Sprint phone using the sdcard method.
Edit: No, that's a GSM recovery. Go to the Sprint firmware thread you linked.
