Help updating radio

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.

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.

Hope this helps.

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.

You flash radios in BOOTLOADER not RECOVERY.

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.

[Q]PD98IMG Rooting Problem[Q]

Hi XDA, I followed the Desire HD Rooting instructions, or should I say downgrade to root instructions by downloading the PD98IMG file and running some comands from ADB. When putting the PD98IMG file on the root of my SDCard, HBoot refuses to see it. I just get the usual no image or wrong image file in green writing. I have checked I have not named it .zip.zip twice, it's just refusing to work...
All help is appreciated, thanks.

Is your device still branded? Do you get "CID incorrect" message?
If not, you need to create a gold card before you can downgrade:

jaaystott, that happened to me when i was rooting. the problem was my sdcard. it was a 2gb transcend card, so i took it out and used an 8gb card instead and then HBOOT read the .zip file.
i really doubt the size of the sdcard matters, but the sdcard itself, does...so try borrow someones sdcard instead, then try it again.

use the RUU 1.32.405.6 from here

-Click this RUU exe file, then the installation window pop up, DO NOT click next
-Search your computer for rom.zip
-Rename rom.zip to PD98IMG.zip

I had the exactly the same problem. I used a spare Samsung 2GB card, with no problems
I found that formatting the SD card in my laptop to FAT32,
- then use the Hex editor to create a Goldcard
- then placing the SDcard back into the phone, mount the phone as a removable disc,
- then copy the PD98img.zip file from your PC.

If there's any error when flashing the zip file a gold card wuld be needed.Just use the goldcard helper and it should be relativelly easy to deal with

[Q] is it shot?

my friend was completly mindless. he used kernal manger to flash the cyanogenmod kernal to his phone. the phone is s-on and nothing works except the phone itself, it does not power properly it needs battery pull and plug ins to get it to start or it just vibrates 5x then freezes. it also does not recognize the sd OR pc, i cant get to it on the pc with correct drivers...its like its not there.
so i went to fix it for him and could not ruu due to the not seeing the device, and couldnt flash anything off the sd due to the sd being not recognized. he told me he had a failed unrevoked session and it put superuser on and cwm on. i CAN get to the hboot screen and when i go into recovery i get into cwm but nothing at all works...
i never saw a brick like this. i would like to call it a live brick dead lol
is it dead?

SD card not working? Do you have a card reader or another phone to put it in and format with? See if it is even recognized by anything else other than the phone.
I'm not sure but isn't an SD card necessary for CWM recovery to work?

if they want the phone to work, yeah.

sd works anywhere else. sd is not recognized by phone. nothing happens when its pushed in and using astro shows nothing there. cwm just opens but is completly non-functional

insane, but try to root it if its stable? anyone else here? i cant really think of another way....

has to be the craziest thing i seen

Can you not use a card reader to put the RUU on and flash it in hboot? I guess not if its S-ON, what error is it giving in unrevoked? If it flashed an alternate recovery then it has to be rooted..

Try some of the solutions above and let us know. Re-rooting or putting the RUU found here http://dougpiston.com/?page_id=108 on the SD card

My thoughts are the only fix i can see working would be to flash the RUU in hboot not cwm and then root it properly. That should work provided you can get it to read the sd card in hboot
SD card must be fat 32
the ruu you download must be named "PB31IMG.zip" the case is important it must be in all uppercase
and what you will do is put it on the sdcard using a card reader and your pc then put it in the phone then go into hboot it should read the card find the image and ask you if you wish to flash this. You should if it goes well have a stock phone... You can then run unrevoked again to root it this time...

can not access the sd card at all... sd card works fine in my computer... not mountable... can't figure it out...

SD Card - root of the SD card???

I am attempting to refresh a semi-bricked rooted phone. I need to get it to "S-on". I have downloaded the .zip file i need to my PC. I need to save it "to the root of the SD card". Noobie question: what is the root of the SD card? That is not a folder I see. I have put the unrevoked-forever-son.zip file a few places on the SD card and it does not seem to be working. Where do i need to save this .zip file so that when i run bootloader it will find and exe the file??? Thanks!

Getting s-on won't revive a dead phone - if anything, it'll prevent you from trying other solutions. If you can get into the bootloader, then you aren't bricked... unless you can't get the phone to boot regardless of running RUUs, etc.
For the record, the root of the SD card means not in any folders. You don't flash the s-on tool through hboot, you flash it through recovery. But I wouldn't flash it anyway, try running an RUU to set the phone back to factory.

Thanks. Do you have a suggestion for an RUU??

[Q] Phone stuck on boot loop

Hi,
my phone stuck on boot loop, as i mentioned at the title. I mean it comes to HTC screen and then black screen and then again HTC screen. It happened when i try to move com.htc package to sd-card, i was trying to open some more place for my internal storage ( i didn't know that can happen.)
how can i fix this ? can you please help me thanks !:crying:

Unfortunately you tried to move an important system component (didn't even know it would let you).
In future, if you don't know what it is, you should research it first. If you can't find anything, don't touch it
To get it back, you will likely have to run an RUU, but you will lose everything except stuff on your sd card.
Find bortak's troubleshooting guide at the top of Q&A, find the bit on RUU, find and flash the 2.3.3. GB RUU.
In future, if you really want to make more space on the Desire, the only proper way is to research how to S-OFF, root and partition your sd card.

Do you have a Nandroid? You must take nandroid backup using CWM before going fishy with /system
Else try factory reset using stock recovery
To free system space, instead of moving important files, use Link2SD for moving apps to SD partition

In the same troubleshooting guide there should be a section on how to extract the ROM.zip from the RUU
Then you rename it to PB99IMG.zip exactly, put it on the root of the sd card (not in any folder), and run it from the sdcard without cable.
Alternatively, if you search directly for the 2.3.3. RUU as PB99IMG.zip is should be available.
