Thanks guys. I've been having issues with a lot of the newer roms that require the the 3..... cms and just wanna go back to the older versions till I upgrade. Also this Inc is probably going to my daughter and I want something trouble free for her.

how do you apply this.. just flash it or do you have to rename it and all of that
it has to be named PB31IMG.. it also must be on the root of an SD card formatted as fat32 (not just fat).

thats not working i formated my sd card along time ago... and when i boot into hboot it just says something about parsing it and doesnt let me update...
I dont mean to insult your intelligence so dont take it that way.. are you sure you are fat32? You can format an SD card in many different file formats.
Connect your phone to a computer and click on the SD card within windows. at the bottom it will tell you your file format. I had mine in fat (not 32) and it would not work. I copied the data to my computer, formatted the card to fat32 and copied it all back and it worked like a charm.
As long as you have a fat32 formatted SD and this file (http://dougpiston.com/files/Recovery/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-inc_PB31IMG.zip) renamed to PB136IMG.zip in the root of your sd card Hboot will install the file and you will downgrade to 2.5.1.2. I did mine on Monday.
Let us know if you get it working.

Not to sound like stupid but how do you confirm this? Ive been flashing for over a year with little issue so Ive never really checked. I formatted the card with the phone when I got it but nothing further.

Sorry. not following your question. Are you asking how to confirm the formatting? If so, check out my post a few posts ago about mounting to windows and looking. If you are referring to something else can you clarify it for me.
Sorry for the confusion
Oh gotcha, my bad and yes Im fat32 but my phone isnt seeing the update. Its on the root of the sd card and renamed properly

I am not sure if it is case sensitive.... i would make it so that it does match the case shown in my post before that. I did mine that way.
Also, when you are booting the phone with that file in the root of the sd card, you have to hold the volume down button and power button at the same time until you get into hboot.
Sorry if you already knew this... its just that there isnt really anything else to it. Let me know if you are still having trouble.

Hoping someone had a tip to help me out. Im trying to get my radio updated so that I can properly run skyraider 3.3. I cant seem to get the radio to run in recovery when i try to book from the SD card. Am I missing something here? Any Ideas?
Is your sd card formatted FAT? The most common issue is not having your sd card formatted to FAT 32 , make sure it is for hboot to properly read it.
Is the file name proper? The zip file is case sensitive. Be sure the file name is in upper case before the dot and lower case after the dot.
Sent from my Incredible
Its properly formated as FAT. I cant seem to remember i left the name alone was this suppose to be update.zip on the root of the card? right now i have it in a sub file
The sd card should be FAT32 for hboot to properly see it, the file should be named PB31IMG.zip , and be on the root of the card.

Im pretty sure the SD card is formated correctly because its worked on all other flashes. Its still not taking the new radio even after showing its loading. It is formated as FAT 32. I have tried both the newest radios. When reading from Hboot it flashes bad image several times and then finally says checking the image and then nothing. Any other suggestions..... anyone?
Just to clarify Im trying to get skyraider 3.3.3 working (keeps rebooting on me after flashing it) someone said i needed to upgrade from the 2.05 radio. I have wiped. When it boots up to the setup screen it tells me that ROM manager has to be forced closed and then about 15 sec later it freezes and reboots.
I cant seem to get the radio to run in recovery when i try to book from the SD card.

If you are 100% sure that you are formatted in FAT32 and have the file name correct then you possibly have the same problem i did which was my stock SD card went bad and I had to get another.
I hate making a new thread and i'm not sure if it's against the rules but there doesn't seem to be a lot of traffic going into Q&A. I'm having a really bad problem with my DInc which could end up costing me $300 if I have to buy a new phone. I was just wondering if you guys would mind taking a look at it and see if you can figure it out.
Thanks.

Fixed! I went out and bought a new class 6 SD card and used berserkers method to go back to stock. Then I just rooted again and installed the ROM I wanted. Thank all of you for your help!
What exactly is the problem?
Glancing thru the thread linked in your question....
If you are having trouble w/ the SD card, see if yours is wonky, then try another if it is wonky....
- With the device on, unmount the existing SD card, power the device down, remove the SD, copy/back it up to your PC, reformat it to FAT32, put it back in the device, d/l a ROM and flash it.
Fwiw - if your question were more detailed and not asking folk to read a thread dating back to 2006, you may get more response - just sayin /;

Ok - Advice remains the same - it sounds like the SD card - unmount, back up, reformat, d/l, then flash something else.
Absent that working, try another SD card.
I'm on a Mac so I cannot reformat the sd card to fat32. I tried with my other SD card already and the phone won't recognize it and my computer doesn't either.
But furthermore, i do not see how the SD card can be the problem. It can install cyanogen just fine. I can't install virtuous or use the PB31IMG.zip though.
Why would it be able to install cyanogen & MIUI and not virtuous or stock?

Its wacked, I dont understand either why most phones will format sd cards as FAT and not FAT32, however it is my understanding that you will need fat thirty two for hboot to properly recognize the file structure as the file name is also case sensitive. For example if the.ZIP is like that it won't work as the file name must be with a lower case extension. Sometimes even on my pc, I have had to rename the file with all capital letters then rename properly for hboot to see it.
You can install ROMs all you want with FAT or FAT32 and clockworkmod recovery as it supports both types of file structures.
And why you could load one rom and not another? I' m not sure, what is the particular version of virth your trying to get running? What versions are you trying for the,... hboot , clockwork mod, & radio? And what is your goal,?, the most recent release of the vRom?

There is nothing wrong with your card. The SD card error is a known bug with CM7. Deleting the LOST.DIR folder should eliminate the SD card error message. If you feel you want to format it anyway, go into recovery and select "wipe SD Card" if you're using amon RA as your recovery.
Posting & replying via the XDA Premium app
How do i get to the .lostdir? when i plug the phone into the computer it wont mount the sdcard. is that because its not formated for the phone?
this is the first time i've put a brand new sdcard in.
im on clockwork. should i flash to amon_ra for this?

Did you have CM7 installed PRIOR TO installing the new SD card or was the new card inserted before CM7? If the latter, a LOST.DIR folder *should* be on the root of the card. If not, it's no biggie, just know that the SD card error is a known bug. If the new card was inserted after CM7, then it may indeed need to be formatted thus the reason your PC is not recognizing it. The cards I have, were already formatted and readable when I purchased them. You could use the EVO to format the card for you in the settings-SD card & Phone Storage menu or it's equivalent in CM7 or you can go into recovery and format it. Either way is sufficient and effective.
neither format method i tried works.
ive had CM7 RC2 already running on the phone for a while(since early march)
most things worked fine.
until
ordered the new card and got the card yesterday.
took the old one out
put in the new
and then i get the errors.
can i screw anything up in Clockwork if i try unmounting and mounting and such?
also what is "format sd-ext"? do i need to do that?

Unmounting & mounting will not destroy anything in and of itself, however, the card must be mounted in order for you to format it. Format sd-ext means formatting that particular partition, but not the entire card. I recommend you switch to amon RA v2.3. The menus are, in my opinion, clearer and pretty self explanatory. You can format/wipe the entire SD card as well as partition it. You can download it from http://goo.gl/cgh5e
A detailed description of every menu can be downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=516947&d=1297626700
To install it:
Place PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sd card.
Boot the phone into the bootloader by powering the phone down, then press the power and the volume down buttons at the same time.
Once the phone boots into the bootloader the phone will automatically recognize the zip file. It will ask if you would like to update, select yes and let it do it's thing and you will be good to go

put the new "unworking" sdcard in

worked seemlessly. except when i plug into the computer there are only 3 folders. can i just make a music folder?
so i guess the issue was RC2?
i also updated cwm from 2.5 to 3.0something so i could flash amon from rom manager.

I do recommend amon RA v2.3. It is a very solid recovery. I also recommend that you do it manually. The installation takes less than 10 seconds. Furthermore, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with wiping & flashing from within recovery. Anyway, I'm glad you got everything taken care of. Take care, my friend....

Hack Kit does not mess sdcards, so yours should have been bad before, or maybe the contacts in the device are not ok. Have you tried formatting the sdcard?
That might happen if you improperly unmount it. Have you unmount it from the device, take it off and put it back, choosing to eject it from the menu?

So it sounds like you managed to root your phone successfully then using the Ace kit. Do you install a new custom ROM as well or just go back to your original one?
If the Hack kit worked your SD card should work fine as it turns it into a gold card. If the SD card was damaged it should have flagged it up during the Ace Hack kit installation.
Turn off you phone, take the SD card out and clean the contacts. Put it back in and restart the phone and see what happens?
If that doesnt work format your SD card or get a new one. They are pretty cheap these days.

sd card blank or has unsupported filesystem
Hi.
My sd card has stopped working. It shows sd card blank or has unsupported filesystem, I made factory reset, hard reset but still not working. My HTC Desire HD corrupt every sd card that i put inside the whole. How to fix this problem. I'm worry about it because i cannot use the camera or to download any video. SD Card require for all downloads. In the PC shows removable disc but when i want to format it shows "enter the disc".
Thank you in advance

I just want to know if is any way to root the phone without sd card. It should be any way i think. Someone told me to root the phone.
So I never got the 4.3 OTA BUT I did install the UCUEMJB Bootloader, but not the modem to use the 4.3 Dandroid Rom, about all month before that I was happily on CM11, and loved it. I try Dandroid because I hate Touchwiz so much, but thought this might cure my want to switch ROMs all the time.
I tried to port the Moto X 4.2.2 Rom, and decided to flash it. The phone came on once with the Samsung logo, Went off, and usually it would vibrate and vibrate meaning something is wrong, this time it just went off and didn't vibrate at all.
It is hard bricked from my understanding, but I have no way of getting a JTAG Done, and I'm waiting on a JIG I ordered, but this is becoming too long without a phone. I bought 3 100K Ohm resistors, and tried the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889128 and I can't seem to get it to work.
I tried the USB Debrick img for the JB Bootloader, but that didn't work neither. The battery is good, and works and everything, Just trying to rule out everything so many you can help me a little better.
Does anyone have any idea what to do? I can't afford a Riff box neither.. if I can get it fixed I'll just stick with one Rom this time, lol.
is there any way to JTAG without the Riff Box, or anything I can do? I'm willing to try anything at my power.
Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for the reply!
I have been looking at that all morning, so even if I flashed the Moto X Rom that was ported, I shouldn't need JTAG?
Also, let me get this straight.. I use WinDiskImager to put the img file on the SD card, via my SD card reader, and then Pull the battery, put in the SD card, put in the battery, and turn on the phone? because I've tried that and it doesn't work at all for me.. unless I'm missing something here, I'd love to know!
You are using a 16GB or larger card right?
You aren't trying to get the phone to power on just yet. Only trying to get to recovery mode so you can flash stock 4.3 stuff and get going again.
With that said...
It appears it is only about 70 percent successful. I have had reports from folks that said they had to write the .Img file several times in a row in their SD card slot in the computer to get it to work.
You may have to get a debrick file from someone running the same rom you were trying to flash.

When you plug your phone into your PC, do you get a box that pops up and reads something like "can't load drivers QHSUSB DLOAD"?? If so, this is what I did. I followed the instructions in this thread:

I used the AT&T image from this thread (I was on Paranoid Android 4.3, FYI):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345860
Worked just fine.
Now, the link in the post above me mentions Odin'ing back to 4.1 so you don't have to boot from your SD card anymore. I didn't do that. When mine booted, it booted into Recovery and I flashed my Paranoid Android 4.3 ROM and GApps. That worked fine and all my data was intact, but yeah, it meant That I'd have to boot from SD card every time. To get past that, I plugged my phone in, copied the AT&T .img file from my PC (note, I copied...I didn't image it. When you image it, it pulls files from the .img file and writes a partition containing them. You don't want to do that in this case) to a random internal SD card file folder on my phone. I had to do it that way cause that AT&T .img was too big to fit on my SD card imaged with the debrick boot files. I then I opened my file manager app on my phone and moved the .img file to the /SDCARD folder. From there I used the terminal emulator and followed the instructions from the link I posted first, typing
su
dd if=/sdcard/debrick.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
Took my SD card out. Restarted. It booted into recovery again, I flashed my PA 4.3 ROM and at that point I was able to boot without the SD card and didn't have to Odin back to an older version. Finally, I used the SD formatter here:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
And formatted my SD card back to allow full usage. Copied all my old files and pics back on it and I was straight!

Now, the link in the post above me mentions Odin'ing back to 4.1 so you don't have to boot from your SD card anymore. I didn't do that. When mine booted, it booted into Recovery and I flashed my Paranoid Android 4.3 ROM and GApps. That worked fine and all my data was intact, but yeah, it meant That I'd have to boot from SD card every time. To get past that, I plugged my phone in, copied the AT&T .img file from my PC (note, I copied...I didn't image it. When you image it, it pulls files from the .img file and writes a partition containing them. You don't want to do that in this case) to a random internal SD card file folder on my phone. I had to do it that way cause that AT&T .img was too big to fit on my SD card imaged with the debrick boot files. I then I opened my file manager app on my phone and moved the .img file to the /SDCARD folder. From there I used the terminal emulator and followed the instructions from the link I posted first, typing
su
dd if=/sdcard/debrick.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
Took my SD card out. Restarted. It booted into recovery again, I flashed my PA 4.3 ROM and at that point I was able to boot without the SD card and didn't have to Odin back to an older version. Finally, I used the SD formatter here:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
And formatted my SD card back to allow full usage. Copied all my old files and pics back on it and I was straight!

is your SD card bigger than 8GB? That's what I have, and I'll try all of this and report back
My phone doesn't turn on at all, So You mean to copy the IMG file to the SD Card? or the files from the IMG File to the SD card? I am not able to get into any file managers and ADB can't read my phone at all :/
First off, you need a card larger than 8gb. It has to be at least 16gb. Mine was 32gb.
Second, to get it to turn on at all, you need to use the disk imager listed in the thread I posted. WinDiskManager or whatever it's called. Grab the AT&T .img file from the second link (that's the one that worked for me...not sure it will for you) and save it somewhere on your PC. Open the disk imager and choose the AT&T .img file, then use the drop down and select your SD card (whatever letter your PC assigned it) and finally, click "write". That will image the files contained in the .img file to your SD card and partition it as bootable. Put the SD card in your phone, turn it on, and it should turn on to recovery at least. Once we get there, we can tackle moving the .img file to where it needs to be on your phone so you don't have to boot from the SD card anymore.
Yes exactly it is mandatory that your card MUST be 16 gb or bigger. What we are doing is mimicking the internal storage on the phone and tricking the phone into booting into recovery to fix what we messed up. Walmart has fairly cheap SD cards. They're cheaper than $50 to get a jtag and faster too.

Oh okay I get it now. Thanks for the explanation. I'll be on the look out for a 16GB.
Oh okay I get it now. Thanks for the explanation. I'll be on the look out for a 16GB. I found some cheap on Ebay for $10 when I get paid I'll get one! (Living check to check... lol) I also went ahead and bought a jig for $1.89, I'm asking around if any of my friends have an extra 16GB SD, most likely not though. Thanks for the replies!
BTW, My phone is like. Dead. Doesnt even power on or anything, but I do get the QHSUSB DLOAD thing, and if I plug it in without a battery I get a Red LED indicator, is that how you guys have explained previous phone states?
I never had it plugged in without the battery, but yes, when I plugged it into my PC, I got what you're getting. We should be able to get you back in business. Hurry up and get an SD card. Hell, go buy one, use it, then return it.

Holy crap sir, I like the way you think.
Edit:
So I was able to get my sister to loan me the money to get one and return it lol.
So now I flash it with the AT&T Debrick Img...
pull the battery, insert SD, insert battery, try to turn it on?
Or am I missing something? lol
Going to pick it up now, just wanted to retrieve the "What now" steps ahead of time! Thanks everyone!

I got an SD card, I tried the img's and it still wont turn on D:
Its a Class 10 Samsung 16GB Micro SD card, Currently keep trying to write the Debrick-SGH-i747U-CUEMJB3.img, and trying it out, still not working. Is that the OTA Bootloader? JB3? Or just JB? Or maybe its the J2 Bootloader I have with a JB3 Modem... forgive me lol.
Dead phone still.. I think I wanna cry lol
Edit:
In addition this is what I'm getting..
qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 (COM4)
No idea what that means, but it shows up in Device Manager.
I've been trying and trying to flash this img and get it to come on, still not working
Did you image the SD card with this program?:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
After you image it, check your SD card in Windows Explorer and verify there are files on it. There should be quite a few.
If you did and the image you tried to flash didn't work, did you try the AT&T image that I linked to in my first post? This one?

The files are on the SD card in a folder called "image".. that doesn't sound good. I browsed for the .img and wrote it to the sd and everything D: I've done this a lot, any idea?

Yes...that's correct. My SD card had numerous files in a folder named "Image", so it seems you're doing that portion correctly.
Did you try the AT&T image that I linked to? That one was named different from the one you referred to in your previous post.
Just to cover your bases, try both AT&T images that were linked to in this thread. If it's still not working...don't know what to tell you.

Yes, I've tried that one, and the one that theramseys uploaded, I just don't know if I'm doing something wrong here.
I stick in the sd card, and try to turn it on? it doesn't power on still.
So stuck here I've done the 3 button combo, and everything. it just wont turn on :/ Any more ideas? Should I just try it with linux? but then again how bad can Windiskimgr actually be?
I miss my phone so much! lol
I dunno, man. I flashed the image I posted, put the SD card in and it turned on. Just pressed the power button.

No tricks to it? I even tried using dd in linux, still nothing. If all fails I hope the jig works that I ordered. I was porting that Moto X rom from a Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 Base, but had swapped out mostly permissions and framework, I didn't touch the boot.img or anything like that.. I did kind of touch up on the updater-script, but still I don't see how that'd brick it, usually it'd give me a status7 or something if it didnt work, or even vibrate, turn on, then vibrate twice and restart, till I'd put it back into recovery, but with that 4.3 Rom I was throwing root issues, and every time I re-flashed it, I had to re isntall CWM
Yeah, just uncovered a new chapter of the story.. lol Hopefully we can work with this at all.
I tried to downgrade to a 4.2.2 Version from 4.3, and had a 4.3 Bootloader,
before all of this I was happily on the CM11 Rom, and should have stuck with it.. Curiosity killed the kitkat.
