Have the file renamed to pb31img.zip on root of SD card, reboot into hboot and it scans and doesn't find the file. Phones rooted with unrevoked, low batter but on the charger... Could that be it? It's on ac power not usb

Just rebooted phone into hboot and its listed as hboot .92 already, seem possible on a 100% stock rooted phone?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Is your SD card FAT32 and not just FAT? Do you have it capitalized (PB31IMB.zip)? Does the file have .zip.zip at the end, instead of just .zip?
Edit: Yeah, .92 is possible on a stock phone. Mine was .92 when I bought it (may have gotten upgraded to .92 when I rooted it...not sure 100%).
How do I check file system of SD card? I know for a fact that it wasn't capitalizrd, probably my problem. Thanks bud!

Plug it in to your computer, then right click the drive when it mounts and go to "get info".
Thanks you've been a great help will report back how it goes next time I get this phone in my hands

That'd be Properties in Windows; depending on what OS you're using.
Ah you're right, forgot what is was in windows.
I use ubuntu but I'm sure its pretty easy to figure out, I just thought there'd be a way to check on the phone

There might be some sort of command you can run in the terminal, but I don't know of a way to check it from the phone..

Hello, I've searched this forum for around two days trying to find out if I can still help my friend re-root his evo... He was rooted running hardware #0003 and decided to unroot in order to return phone to sprint for the evo shift. after playing around with the shift at the store he said it's not worth giving up his evo.. now he wants to re-root his evo however sense he has been unrooted he accepted sprint's latest ota 3.70 and now for some reason we can't reroot his phone. we used unrevoked 3 to root it the first time. Is there a way to reroot his phone after accepting the new ota from sprint?? Any kind of advice would be of great help. Thank for any input that anyone can provide. btw, he never tried any new roms... he still has the stock rom.
I was able to root a new Evo with the 3.70 OTA update last week using unrevoked 3.32 without any problem at all.
Unrevoked will root 3.7 phone hw v1 2 3 or 4 and all hboots
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
unrevoked worked great for me too
This is great news guys I really appreciate the quick response...I almost forgot, one more question... does it matter if we rooted his phone on a 32 bit windows system and unrooted with a 64 bit windows system? Will it effect rerooting or prevent it? Just curious. Thanks all your help. Would like to donate not sure of how to do that either.

Um no that shouldn't matter. Valid question but the app shouldn't be affected by that.

Hi guys, just a quick question. I seem to have deleted my system/app file when I formatted my SD card; is there any way to get it back or am I just S.O.L? I've searched for this issue on this forum but no clear info on what my options are at this point. Any advice on what my options are would be great. I appreciate it and thanks.

Your /system/app files aren't stored on the SD Card, they're inside the phone. Unless you're on A2SD.
How did you delete it at? Using a file browser on the phone itself or on your PC? How's the phone/apps behaving?
Is the device S-ON right now or S-OFF? If is S-OFF all you need to do is re-install recovery and super user app. I'm on my phone so I can't post the link for you but go to unrEVOked.com, select the EVO and then unrEVOked forever. Scroll down the page and you'll see a link for ClockworkMod recovery and the su app. Place the recovery file on the root of your SD card and boot into bootloader(volume down & power). The device will find the PC36IMG and you'll be able to update your recovery image to clockwork. Now that your set, flash the su app via recovery and your once again fully rooted.
First of all guys thanks for the help and quick response. It's good to know there's help when you need it. I have s-off and I'm rooted using unrevoked 3.2 can I do all these steps from my phone or only from my laptop?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I followed these steps and still no system/app files. btw, I formatted my SD card using my computer... I don't quite know how much a difference it would make but I remember using my computer. Any other suggestions?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm not sure what you mean. System/app directory isn't on the SD card so if your looking for it on your card you won't find it. As for the instructions I provided, yes these steps are done on your device. All newer versions of unrEVOked do the same thing as unrEVOked forever, Permanent S-OFF. There's really no reason why you'll ever need your pc again as long as you have the files for recovery and su app on your SD card.
I forgot to mention, after formatting your SD card the device will automatically re create the needed directories on the card. Some folders will pop back up instantly while others will appear once you've opened the app associated with the folder. An example would be the DCIM folder. It will only appear once you open the camera application.
Ok cool, l just remember seeing system and app and I don't remember how I got there... I know that sounds pretty stupid but that's what happened... so my concern is if I need to get back there, I want to know where to find it on my phone.. I really appreciat you taking time to try to help. So looks like I need to be looking somewhere on my phone in which I have no idea of where to start..sorry about that...I guess I need to keep researching and messing with my phone more. I really do appreciate all your help.. you guys are awesome.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It's located in the root directory. Another words, you shouldn't be looking in any folder/directory. Open your file explorer and instead of entering a directory such as SD card just locate system. Within system you'll see system/app. It looks like this
acct
app-cache
cache
config
data
dev
etc
mnt
proc
root
sbin
sdcard
sys
SYSTEM - app is located here
Cool! It worked thanks.

Yes i tried this..The only issue im having with that is for option 1 i cant find trhe corrent driver for my phone ..Im running windows 7 x64 I have the driver that a friend sent me on my home laptop and i remember when it found it..it said froyo 2.2
not the adb driver like its doingon my laptop...so im still searching for the drivers
Option 2 still shows no img or wrong img.
I tried adding a .img to it and a .zip and no luck
For the second option, you have to rename the .zip otherwise it won't read it.
Make sure you have the name correctly as "PB31IMG.zip", sometime I misread the 1 and I or leave an extra space in there.
And your SD card needs to be FAT32 for hboot to read it.

It will turn you back to 100% stock, so yes it'll unroot you. You'll have to then root your phone again.
ok I downloaded the stock recovery file from dougpistons.com do i simply install it by renaming it to PB31IMG.zip and install it through hboot?
also, by doing this am i going to loose all of my backup in clockwork recovery?
thanks for all of your help!
Yep, that's how it's installed. Your backups are on the SD card, so they will still be there and work, assuming your hboot and recovery versions are the same.
K I have the file renamed and it is ready to go.... how do I install it thru hboot? I know how to get into hboot but I do not see an option to install
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
The file has to be named exactly PB31IMG.zip and placed on the root of the SD card (not in any folder). When you boot into hboot it will scan the card and ask to update, press volume up to confirm.
also make sure its not named PB31IMG.zip.zip in something like root explorer... also your SD MUST be FAT32 or HBOOT will not flash anything

The phone still powers on and functions. Its. Just the screen that is shot and without being able to mount the drive by pressing the buttons on screen, I need an alternative solution. The default was to save it internally so I just don't know how to access it. Maybe there's a solution from Samsung directly? I don't know which is the point and I'm reaching out to y'all for help ; A
So you should be able to get into recovery then. What recovery version did you have and I could try to tell you how many clicks of what button to get it to munt the internal storage. So then it can be seen by your pc.

Hmmm... I finally feel like one of those people that ask for help but never quite know the pertinent information to get the help they need... I don't know what recovery version I have
At this point, just trying the buttons to the version you have is worth a shot Thanks in advance!

Brings up an interesting question, because I live in fear of something like this happening to me.
Is there anyway to tell the phone to access the "sdcard" that is ACTUALLY the sdcard? I have several apps that save important data, but they save it to "sdcard" and there is no way to change the path within most apps.
I hate having to make constant backups manually because at any moment all my data could be lost because this phone doesn't actually use the ACTUAL sdcard for data.
What kernel do you have? I assume you are rooted, download and install busybox via the market place on the PC, it will push to your phone. (so you are sure to have it installed).
Then download and use qtadb.
