[Q] Can't reinstall clockworkrecovery..tried everything

I followed the instructions found in this thread:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7864966&postcount=4
And everything was working fine until i got to step #5.
Step 5: get recovery here hxxp://downloads.unrevoked.com/forev...od/PB31IMG.ZIP
put in sd card and hboot apply
(this will load clockworkmod recovery on your phone so that u can apply updates.)

I applied that file to the root of my sdcard (which is fat32). When i load up hboot, it quickly scrolls filenames all starting with PBxxxxx.zip. It follows by saying "no image or wrong image" etc..(sorry it scrolls so fast i cant even read it in time)
How can i reload clockworkrecovery?
Phone Stats:
S-Off
Hboot-0.92.0000
MicroP-0417
Touch Panel-ATMEL224_16ab
Radio-2.15.00.07.28
Thanks!

i perfer amon ra....but thats beside the point......
make sure its PB31IMG.zip not. zip.zip or pb31img.zip.....also make sure there is an android info.txt file inside the zip.........and make sure the file is on te root of the sd, not in any folders

make sure to double check the SD card is fat32 and that it is spelled perfect. and like mentioned above to check to make sure it isn't PB31IMG.zip.zip even thought you may only see PB31IMG.zip, you may have to make it PB31IMG

Yeah its named "PB31IMG.zip" coming in at 2,928 kb.
Downloaded straight from Unrevoked....
Im sure its not being mislabeled, I have "show filenames" enabled by default...
This is annoying me...i was moving along just fine...can't figure out this issue!
***EDIT***
I tried it again, and it worked!
Small change, big results... Everytime I plug in my phone as HD, it pops up on my PC as Removable Drive F: and Removable Drive G:
I had been putting all files on Drive F:, and it always seemed to work. I just tried it on G: and it finally ran the update.
I'm unsure why the same SD card is coming up as F: and G:, and why Drive F: worked for everything, but Drive G: was needed for Clockwork

I can't tell for sure which is which, but the reason you are getting two different removable drives is because the Incredible comes with the 8GB internal memory. And you must have had the file on that instead of your SD card, the ONLY way to get it to work is to have it on the SD card.
but I'm happy to see you got it mate!

[Q] Need help loading new splash screen.

Hey guys and gals,
I need some help, I have s-off/root using unrevoked forever ... droid incredible 2.2 ... I have tried to load several different splash screens and when I go into HBOOT, it never gives me the option ... I have named the files PB31IMG.zip (have tried the one they offer with unrevoked and numerous others) and placed them in the root of my SD card ... by all accounts this should do the trick, but when I go into HBOOT it never says anything about loading a new splash ... nor does it ask me any questions, it scans for several files and always says "Image not found" and goes back to the main HBOOT menu .... any ideas?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Is your SD Card formatted in Fat32? you might want to move everything off your SD card to your PC then format the card thru the PC in Fat32 then move everything back to the card.

Thanks for your response
How would I know file system it's formatted to? It is the same card I used to do the unrevoked forever, would that require the FAT32 file system? How can I format the SDcard after clearing everything off of it?

Make sure it is .zip and not .zip.zip
Go to properties and check the details on the PB31IMG file, usually if there is no .zip, its already there. Adding the .zip just makes it doubled.

Thank you for that suggestion ... I tried it a few times before changing the name myself, it should have been in correct name off of the Unrevoked website .... upon checking I HAD INDEED changed it to .zip.zip .... changed it back and formatting SD card to FAT32 now ... will let you guys know if this fixes problems ...
Thanks again

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.

glad to hear it worked for you.

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.

Bootloader problems

Ok so i place any PC36IMG.zip on the root of the SD Card and goto into bootloader mode and it never sees this file what is wrong tried to also change the splash screen and update RA and nothing what do i need to do

Did you rename the file to PC36IMG.zip.zip?
Make sure it's properly named. By default in Windows, file extensions are not shown, so the .zip is already there, you don't need to add it.

no i didn't i download it and placed it right on the root of the sd card and it only has one ext .zip

There are two requirements for the bootloader to recognize the PC36IMG. One, it has to be named correctly. Capitals do matter. It has to be PC36IMG. As the previous poster stated, if you add a .zip it becomes .zip.zip, so be sure when you are looking at the file in windows, that it's just PC36IMG, all capitals. The other requirement, is that it has to be on the main directory of your sd card, not in any folders. If both of those requirements are met, the bootloader should scan and find the PC36IMG, and ask you to update. I know you said you did all that already, but just double check the file's location, and how it's named. If everything checks out, and it still doesn't work, I would then suggest formatting your sd card to FAT32, using windows, and then copy over just the PC36IMG, and try again. (of course back up your SD card before you format it ) For some reason, many people have reported the bootloader not finding a PC36IMG, and that formatting the SD card fixed the issue. Hope that helps a bit.

Also, to add to that, if the android txt file isn't in there, it won't read either.

I was unaware of this. What exactly is that? A file on the sd card? I'm looking in my sd card for it now..

Its inside every PC36IMG, attached is one for amon_ra, but disregard it, extract it and look at the txt file. that file needs to be in the PC36IMG for it'll be detected. I recommend copying to your pc, incase you make a PC36IMG, like if you make a splash screen, ect.

More than likely, you need to repartition and reformat your SD card. If you're able to, copy the contents of your card onto your computer. Afterwards, repartition and reformat the card. When you're done, copy a freshly downloaded copy of amon_RA onto your card as well as the rom you want to flash
preferably a freshly downloaded one, and then flash it. Flash the recovery first from the bootloader and then flash the rom.

My phone is working right now it just popped up 3 times I only had to fix it the first time now it just goes away in like a minute also I never partitioned my sd card but I've been thinking of doing it anyway the only thing thats been stopping me is that I've seen people having these kind of problems after partitioning so I guess that doesn't matter anymore LOL.
Thanks for your help.

You're very welcome. As for partitioning your SD card, it's very easy. Probably the easiest is probably with a card reader. It can also be done from within recovery especially with amon_RA. Simply select "partition SD card" and set the parameters to your liking.
