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 flash a different version on HBOOT? And thanks so much for the help

Directly on the root of the card. Aka, not in any folders. Otherwise hboot won't see it.

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.

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

I am currently running SkyRaider3 RC3 with a radio 1.00.03.04.06 which has been modified to permit AP tether. How do I flash the newest 2.15.x radio? Just throw the .zip on the SD root and flash it in Clockwork? I am also S-OFF.
Thank you.

Download the file in the first post. Place on root of sdcard, meaning /sdcard/. Reboot phone into hboot. It will automatically detect the update and ask if you would like to apply it. Select Yes and let the update commence.
This will take a very long time. Probably 10 min or so. DO NOT PULL YOUR BATTERY OR DO ANYTHING TO DISRUPT THE UPDATE. I suggest putting your phone down, and leaving it there till it's done.
Also, there is no such thing as a stupid question, your just trying to learn, although a search would have probably helped you out
Thank you for replying :]
Loaded that file onto the root of my SD card, restart into hboot, and while it detects the file, it says something about there being something wrong with the image. I can't read it very well - some messages scroll quickly, then disappear, leaving just the hboot menu. Tried redownloading twice and no difference. Strange.
I assume that I'm not supposed to extract anything from PB31IMG.zip?

Your sdcard has to be formatted FAT32. Back ur sdcard up to ur PC and reformat the whole card fat32. Then put all files back on and try again.

Here is a Mac thread discussing FAT32: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?ac=375750
FAT32 is a format which works with both Macs and PCs - should be very easy is the consensus.
I haven't yet flashed the 2.15 radio - have been doing some bandwidth speed tests on my 1.x radio, and speeds seem very solid... not sure if I should bother with the flash after all...
This is very easy is you have S-OFF. just download the PB31IMG.zip file place on root of SD CARD and boot into HBOOT then follow the steps.

hi everyone,if i may ask how is hboot done and also how to turn s-off
I was rooting my phone earlier. I successfully rooted it, but when I started to install the ROM, it froze when it was near completion. When I booted it back up, it froze at the My Touch logo. I have tried factory reset, hard reset, all that. I could probably return it back to stock if I could enable USB-Debugging, but I can’t access the phone if it freezes up at the logo screen. Is there any way to enable it through Fastboot, Bootloader, or any other method? I tried reformatting the SD card but it won’t read in the adapter. If there is no way to fix it, I’ll just return back to T-Mobile and get it replaced. If I do end up taking it back to the store, do I have to bring my SD and SIM card with me? Sorry for all of the questions. Try to answer as much as you can. Thanks in advance for the answers.

Can you access clockworkmod recovery at all?
edit: nvrmind, try finding another sd card and place the engineering build on it, then boot in the bootloader that says "fastboot, recovery etc etc"
you can find the engineering release here http://www.4shared.com/file/OsmF_ZD7/ESPRIMG.html
thanks ill try it right now
do i need to rename this file or just leave it as is
Keep the file name the same, and once u boot in that bootloader, the bootloader will automatically install the file. After its done installing, reboot the phone.

Alright
1) Check if the file is 137 megabytes (to see if the file completely downloaded)
2) Check if your SD card is corrupt and needs to be formated (as fat32)
3) Also be sure you place the file at the root of your SD card (do not put esprimg.zip inside a folder)
4) Be sure you did NOT extract the zip because your not supposed to extract its contents.
If none of these work/help please post back
Ok I did all these step above and I reformatted the SD card to fat 32 then its starts loading but when its done its said MAIN VERSiON IS OLDER

Well im not sure if there is a newer version of that file...hmm since you got your sd card to read on your fone, now u have the ability to enter clockworkmod recovery.
1) Place this "update.zip" on your sd card http://www.mediafire.com/?s4eopbn5smkyen6
2) open the bootloader then press recovery
3) it should show a picture of a phone with a red exclamation mark
4)volume up and power button on that screen
5) press apply sdcard:update.zip
you should now be in clockworkmod recovery and from there you should know what to do
So should I remove the esprimg.zip then put the update.zip by itself in the SD card

Ok I'll help you out here. Search for "slide ROM bible". In there is a link to the thread telling people how to flash the ENG build. It's broken down barney style so it's easy to understand. Most of the stuff you see flashing up is normal and the version difference is normal too, you have to do something special to make it work. So read it, love it, worship it. It's the bible for this phone.
Btw, you're phone isn't bricked. If it were, you wouldn't even get to the splash screen - let alone fastboot and recovery. Trust me, I have a few paperweights so I know a brick when I see it.
One last thing, flashing the clockwork recovery update.zip WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU HAVE ALREADY FLASHED THE ENG BUILD. That's why it failed. Flashing a custom rom won't work either. The only way to do it without the ENG build is via adb and catching it in recovery, very hard task. The ENG build resolves that and removes the signature check allowing you to flash things without adb.
hi . honesty i dont know what to do
do you have any link for this bible rom

Here is the link on how to flash the ENG build. Make sure you know where the ENG build zip is after you download it, I suggest putting it in your android sdk tools directory (less typing). Then follow the instructions and you should be up in running in no time. Let me know if you have any ?'s.
Oh, this is the link to the youtube tutorial, thought it might help.
Cant get the splash screen to take. When in cmd in my sdk\tools, and I fastboot flash splas1.... it keeps telling me failed. Signature verify fail, whats going wrong, PLEASE HELP.
How did you root the device?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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.

My hboot is version 0.93.0000. What can I do next? If any more information is needed, please let me know.

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.

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).

I want to change from CM 3.0.0.5 to AMON-RA recovery due to the feedback I've gotten and read but I am not quite sure about what files to use and how exactly to flash them. I visited the mirror site on the RA thread and downloaded "recovery-ra-supersonic-v2.3.img" and "recovery-ra-supersonic-v2.3-pc36000.zip." My questions are do I simply place the "zip" file on the root of the card and boot into bootloader (vol dn+power) and answer yes when it asks to update, and what is the purpose of the ".img" file and what do I do with it (if I even need it)? I know these are noob questions but I am still learning and want to be sure I am doing things the right way. Thanks for the help.

ok never mind i acctually read what you posted and noticed that you already have what you need. so get rid of the .zip you dont need it. the .img and the .zip are 2 different methods and the img method in my opinion is lightyears easier than the zip way.
so here we go
1. put the .img on the root of your sd. (make sure it is named "PC36IMG.zip" exactly like that or else it wont work.
2. power down phone and then boot in to the hboot (vol down+power)
3. it will scan for the .img
4. when it asks to update hit yes.
5. let it do its thing and you will have amon.
