Serial # is 123456789012

Serial is 123456789012, the screen is black, can get fastboot but cant flash pc36img.zip in bootloader or fastboot. Fastboot says..cant flash not allowed, remote location. I tryed to downgrade hboot. Im screwed. I have new hardware 0003, shipped 3.30.651.3, hboot 2.02 but i flashed hboot 2.02.001. I guess my touchscreen panel image is gone. Anybody know any fastboot commands that allow me to flash? I cant flash pc36img from sdcard. I was able to flash unrevoked forever and my s is off. Any help please?

You could download the official RUU, execute it and extract the rom.zip file, copy it to your SD card and rename it to PC36DIAG.zip, it should load stock ROM. Then use unrevoked to get root. These instructions are not mine but I used them after I almost bricked an EVO trying to root it.

Ive tryed that. I cant see the screen and the tp image isnt even in rom.zip

http://goo-inside.me/evo/stock/RUU_...0.09.01_NV_1.77_003_release_154209_signed.zip
Rename it to PC36IMG.zip and put it on your SD card.

bootloader wont flash fail pu radio v2. Wont boot. Feels like its in bootloader. I can get into fastboot but cant flash anything. Fail remote device

Im screwed. Its like my partitions are messed up and pc36img doesnt take

Help - flashing pb99.img in hboot no PC.

Hi.
I have a rooted s-off desire using alpha rev 1.8.
I'm currently trying to resize the nand partitions using the method on the alpharev.nl site, without a pc. I'm running cm6.1 rom, so I downloaded the n1table zip ready to flash. Its renamed to pb99img.zip on root of sdcard. I've reboot into hboot using volume+down and I'm not quite sure where to go from here. I tried going into recovery and installing zip from SD but it doesnt seem to have worked as when I reboot into rom and check SD storage, it remains the same as before.
I know I must be missing something basic. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Cheers.

Do NOT continue with what you're doing. Have you even read the instructions on the AlphaRev site? You flash a new MTD table using the fastboot commands of adb:
1) Nandroid backup in recovery.
2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.
3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
4) 'Fastboot reboot-bootloader'
5) 'Fastboot erase cache'
6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore

It´s also working with HBOOT...but I think you have to rename it to PB99IMG.zip (case Sensitiv)
If you have it in your / Filesystem on your SD Card, you will be asked after booting to Bootloader if you want to update.
Answer with "Volume up" or "down"

YOU DO NOT RENAME AN ALPHAREV HBOOT MOD TO PB99IMG
That is for Zip versions of the RUUs and NOTHING to do with AlphaRev
Seriously, read up before you brick your phone

From the Aplha Rev HP:
You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC.
Sorry, if I don´t understand this right...but that´s a fact from his Page
I´m sure Fastboot is the better way...but I tried it like this and it worked

I stand corrected, didn't see they had that option now. My apologies
In which case, you'd download the relevent ZIP file, rename it PB99IMG.zip (not PB99IMG.zip.zip) and put it on the root of our SD card (root - not in any folders)
Then, when you boot into HBOOT it should just pick it up and ask if you want to flash it - you don't go into recovery

no Probs

I never got asked if i wanted to flash the hBOOT
I'm running a rooted HTC desire and i'm trying to load flash the hboot to the oxygen variety
I haven't s-off my phone yet but wanted to use the no PC method outlined above
When i go into hBoot the phone picks up the PB99IMG.zip (saying "checking PB99IMG.zip......") but doen't give me the option to flash the hboot
Am i missing something? Do i have to s-off it the long way first?
Any help would be really appreciated
=]

Yes, you have to S-OFF first before you can change the MTD. It does say on the website:
"If you are already S-OFF, you can get our newest patched HBOOTs from here. (without going through the entire procedure again).
Please read the entire table and pick the partition table with the correct sizes for your ROM. One easy way to switch partition tables, is to nandroid backup,
and verify that the sizes of your backup are indeed the ones listed in the table (or smaller), and restore after flashing hboot."

Any idea if i can choose the Oxygen variation when i use the AlphaRev 1.8 HBOOT reflash utility or will i need to do it again with a PB99IMG.zip after?

Do the Alpharev 1.8 Flash first.
Then connect your phone, boot into Fastboot mode, and run the foll:
1) Nandroid backup in recovery.
2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.
3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
4) 'Fastboot reboot-bootloader'
5) 'Fastboot erase cache'
6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.

Of course I have read the instructions thoroughly. I would never do anything without reading several times over. As another member pointed out, you can in fact flash from .zip
However it would not work for me, probably a lot of others too, as another member mentioned it has been removed from site.
I have now switched to miui and am not encountering any storage space issues as yet, so I think ill leave it alone for awhile. Thanks for everyone's input and help.
Cheers.

Anyone got this to work? Ive tried following the instructions (I have s-off and have repartitioned my HBOOT previously with ADB) and it just says no image found when I load into fastboot

When I try to do it from the SD card on mine, it finds the PB99IMG.zip file but then says "Model ID invalid. Update Fail!" then asks if I want to reboot or not. Rebooting just performs a normal reboot with no changes.

Obviously, you're trying to install a file meant for another device! That's a very dangerous thing to do!

It's the PB99IMG.zip for the Oxygen HBOOT. How can it be for the wrong device? I'm s-off, running Oxygen RC7.

At least that's what the error code means anyway..Is there a reason why you cant fastboot flash the img?

Yea, I assumed that. I can't seem to get fastboot working again on my machine. It was working but I haven't had much time to look into what happened. ADB devices brings up the serial number but fastboot won't detect the phone. I was just trying to do this while I was at work and I don't have access to fastboot here.

Adb and fastboot detect the phone at different phases. If one detects, at that point, the other wouldnt.
Are u sure you're trying out fastboot in fastboot mode (poweroff, Back key+Power On)? At that point fastboot should work..Even most severely damaged phones are detected in fastboot

Yes, the phone is in fastboot when I'm trying this. I'm wondering if something happened to the fastboot driver or something. Either way, I'll look into it at some point.

[Q] Revolutionary Rooted stuck in boot loop no recovery

Help. My phone is stuck in a boot loop. No recovery, won't take one even when I flash multiple ways. Won't take a rom. S-off. Was rooted with Revolutionary, but since it wouldn't take a ROM or recovery I tried to unroot. Was able to remove the "Revolutionary" watermark, change hboot from 6.16 to 2.16.0001. Tried installing ruu which is what removed the Revolutionary and changed back hboot.
Here's what I have now:
Supersonic evt2-3 ship s-off
hboot 2.16.0001
Radio 2.15.00.0808
Any help! Thanks.

Looks you might have to get a PC36IMG.zip on your sdcard and then flash that through bootloader
Ideally, put on a froyo PC36IMG so that rerooting is easier if you want to do it again

So what happens when you try to select Recovery from Hboot?
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much

Still boot looping...

All I get is the white "HTC EVO 4G" boot screen. When I flash a custom recovery, everything goes as expected, but still can't access recovery.

You will have to go through all the bootloader ruu's till you find the one that works. Good luck I had the same issue and ended up selling it on eBay and the buyer finally got it working.

Ok. I tried every ruu I could find. Problem remains. Also, s-off never turns to s-on. Tried flashing contents of stock rom separately. Everything appears to flash ok, but same result: no recovery, no rom. Any ideas?

What I think I need is a method to nand unlock via fastboot or hboot. Anyone know of such a thing? Anyone have any other ideas? Besides what I've already done? Thanks...

S-off is nand-unlocked...run an ruu (any version), as soon as it opens, press windowsKey+R and type "%temp%" then *enter
Now sort the files by date modified and search in the most recent folders for a file called "rom.zip", as soon as you find that copy it to your desktop
Rename the rom.zip to "PC36IMG.zip" and place it on the root of your phones sdcard (you may need to reformat your sdcard to FAT32, make a backup if you need to do this)
Now put the sdcard in your phone, pull out the battery and go into bootloader (VolDown+Power) , the bootloader should find it and commence the update process back to stock unrooted, follow the prompts and press power when necessary

Okay, tried that...

Tried your method using the rom from an ruu. Still s-off, although everything appeared to have updated. I've done this previously, but not extracting the rom.zip from an ruu. Each time the hboot updates, or downgrades, depending on the ruu, but s-off remains. No rom, no recovery...
Next...

Sometimes the problem is solved by wiping the recovery partition first, and then re-flashing it. To do that, you would need a Hboot where you could run fastboot commands, since you cannot boot into a Rom.
You can try upgrading your Hboot, then unlocking the bootloader using the Htcdev site, so that you can run the fastboot commands. If it fails on the new Hboot, then it can probably be flashed back to whatever Hboot you have, since you're S-OFF.
I've included the Hboot file that you would need for the upgrade. You would first run the PC36IMG file throught the bootloader, then reboot the phone. If the Hboot changes, then you should go to the Htcdev site and try to unlock the bootloader.
There are some other steps that follows, but there's no point of giving them to you now and complicating things unless the initial steps work first.

Ok. This didn't work. I was able to flash the hboot, but fastboot commands did not work. I can unlock, and relock the bootloader, flash any ruu, but s-off remains, and still unable to flash a rom or recovery.

Try this and see what happens: Unzip the fastboot.zip file in side a folder on your computer and place the recovery.img file in that same folder on your computer, then open a command prompt from that folder (shift + right click+"open command window here"). From the FASTBOOT USB menu on the phone (Hboot + click on FASTBOOT): type
fastboot erase recovery <ENTER>
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img <ENTER>
fastboot reboot-bootloader <ENTER>

[Q] Help reverting to stock rom

Hello I have HTC One X, which I have bought second hand (unfortunately). Turns out it was rooted, and ran on a custom rom. I wanted to revert to stock rom, but I think I have messed up. Now I am stuck in bootloader. I think I already have all the files I need, but it seems I have no longer access to my phone on the PC, so I can not transfer files to the (non-removable)'SD Card'. When trying to flash using cmd, I get the error FAILED <remote: not allowed>
I have used the factory reset in the bootloader, and have unrooted the phone, and re-locked the bootloader.(at the time I thought I had the right RUU but I only have a CWM backup)
Can anyone help me?

Have you done everything the tutorial says?
At what exact step did you get this error? You have to be more precise.
If you are stuck at bootloader, you should be able to flash recovery (after you re-unlock the bootloader) and then, from recovey, you can mount your internal sd card to be accessed from the PC via USB cable.
You also have to have the required drivers installed to properly run fastboot commands, as explained in the tutorial.

It's quite easy btw,
Download nandroid backup for your CID from here &
Just flash any recovery like CWM or TWRP which will mount ur device's USB Storage to pc.
now, just follow the steps to restore that backup into the phone, u'll be on complete stock!
Also, you can flash the particular RUU for your device, if available can be found here
Installing RUU doesn't require anything to be done on phone, just connect it to pc, it'll take care of the rest.

Get your unlock token from htcdev,
and use fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_Code.bin command in fastboot.
Then just look at ur phone, use volume up key to move up and power button to select.
Phone will reboot and bootloader will be unlocked, also it will factory reset the phone!

HTC One M8 Shows the following message (Pic)

Hello guys,
My HTC One m8 (Sprint) shows this on the screen and refuse to hardr reset or do anything else. Do I have to install a new ROM ? if yes, which ROM can I install through SD card cause the phone isn't connecting to the computer.
Thanks guys,

Do you have custom recovery (TWRP) installed?
When you say "new ROM" do you mean a custom ROM, or do you want stock ROM (and for that matter, what was on there before it got "stuck")?
Do you want to try to keep data? If not, you can try to flash a Sprint RUU (and only a Sprint RUU), which may be the best course of action anyway, as it might fix the radio "INVALID" issue.

Thanks for your reply.
No I don't have TWRP installed.
I don't want to keep the data.
I need the phone to work, so I would appreciate it if you advise me which ROM should I install?
Thanks.

You can flash RUU 4.25.651.14. Either SD card method should work, or the .exe method. Your computer should still be able to connect via fastboot (which is how the RUU.exe works), even though it can't access storage. This is normal and expected - you can only access storage or adb while booted to OS or custom recovery TWRP.
RUU file and instructions here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
Alternately, you can update to Marshmallow with RUU 6.20.654.3, but you will need to fastboot flash firmware 6.20.654.3 before you can run the RUU. Instructions on flashing firmware also on the linked thread.

Before you flash anything else grab the latest sprint RUU for your device, as already mentioned.

I downloaded the RUU that fits the number showed on the phone 4.25.654.14 on the computer and after few seconds it gave me error 171.
So I downloaded the zip file and put it on the SD card and it failed as shown in the picture attached below
Can you please advise what to do next?
Also : is there a software I can use to install the new ROM instead of the RUU.exe and Zip on SD ?
Thanks a lot.

Did you do anything to the phone to cause the current condition?
I would suggest trying other Spring RUUs, such as 3.31.654.2 or 6.20.654.3
Error 171 is connection issue, which you already somewhat mentioned in the top post. Connection issue is usually on the PC side. Try another USB port, another cable. Reinstall HTC drivers. Make sure the phone is in fastboot mode (fastboot selected in bootloader) when trying to do fastboot commands or RUU.exe.
You may also try to find the device in Windows Device Manager. Then pick the option to manually select drivers, and select the "generic" Android MTP device drivers. I sometimes have to do this, for my PC to "see" the phone in fastboot or adb.
