[Q] How Do I Flash 2.15.x Radio?

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.

Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using Tapatalk 2

The file has to be renamed 'PG76IMG.zip'
And it should be placed in the root directory, don't forget to remove it once your finished or it will scan and ask you to update each time you enter bootloader

Yup ur right I missed this word

Help Installing PC36IMG

Hi everyone , I am new to this. Ive had my Evo for 2 years and finally decided to Root it. I did it , was successful. I installed an AOKP JB rom and was bad , the screen would go off it wouldnt let me unlock to get to the home screen.
I did not make a backup (I know , after seeing at least 100 warning or recommendations to do so, im a [email protected]#$)
I Installed a file called ss_stock 4.67.651.zip. It gave me the stock rom. But its giving me some error. It make sme choose "Force close" and it doesnt let me do anything.
I want to install the PC36IMg file , Ive read some threads and post and if Im not mistaken its the correct file to bring you Evo back to stock form.
I have to different PC36IMg files on my zip , I tried flashing both from sd card through the recovery option and it says scripit error.
Please help me with this I love my phone and don't want to lose it.

PC36IMG files should be flashed thru the boot loader not recovery. Put it on ur SD card(not in any folders) and then boot into ur boot loader, it should read it and ask u if u want to update. Press volume up to accept and let it do its thing

ok , is this using the command prompt. I tried doing that but got nowhere.
can you give me a quick explanation of the first steps. I remember using it to root it , i remember typing in rootevo4ggingerbread and then doing some thing like that with recovery.img. But with the pc36img i dont know where to bein with the command prompt , I appreciate the help.

U don't need the command prompt. Just put the file on the root of ur SD card ( like I said not in any folders) boot into ur boot loader by pulling ur battery, then replacing ur battery, hold down ur volume down button then press ur power button. Ur bootloader should read the image zip and ask u to update

I would appreciate it so much if you can give me a step by step.
I am lost. Ive taken the battery out a lot of times. When it boots it says no image file or something like that. If you know of a video online it would be awesome too. Sorry for the trouble
It never asks me to update anything

Where do u have the pc36img file located? But I have to ask, y not just download a different rom and flash it?

I have the pc36img in the DCIM folder , is that the sd card. And i tried already 3 different roms. AOKP jelly bean , Cyanogen and I think the other one was Karma something. All 3 of them had problems. Not just problems I can ignore. it would let me do anything. Was i missing something?

Thats were your wrong it shouldnt be in a folder as long as its not in a folder u should be fine

Move it out of that folder and paste it on the root of the SD card. As Sasquatch said that's where ur going wrong. It does not need to be in any folder to run thru the bootloader

Im sorry but I am confused , the SD card is what exactly. I thought I saved it in the sd card but apparently I dont know what the sd card is.
When I turn my phone on I put mount as disk drive and save it there (not inside any other folder) just in the drive. Is that the correct way?

Yes

Ok , I did it. I erased all the PC36IMG files and took it from my downloads again and dropped it there and I get nothing. Just no image file error message.

Once u connect your phone put it in disk drive a window should pop up choose the one that says view folders or something like that choose that one thats were the pc36img should go remember if on windows dont add .zip it will add that automaticly

Phone NOT BOOTING UP NEED HELP ASAP

So my friend brings me his gsm nexus and is not loading up stays stuck and loading Google screen but does nothing from there..... I asked him what he had done and he said he went into cwm since he was having problems with his phone and decide to format everything on it sdcard/system/ etc etc etc..... I never done something so stupid before lol So I really don't know how to help him...... any way to be able to flash a stock rom maybe via odin ? or stock anything to get the phone to boot up again ? any help is greatly appreciated....... I could boot it up in recovery mode but since sd card is empty I can't restore any roms or any backups since he seem to have deleted them all

well your friend formatted the /system directory so there is no rom on there. of course it wont boot up.
follow this to go back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
DO NOT USE ODIN.
also, tell your friend to leave the phone stock until he knows what he is doing.

ya he used so many pronouns and friend references, sounds like a panic and just doesnt want bashed on the forum lol
yes as Z said that will fix the OP's phone
his 'friend' rooted his own phone and doesnt know how to fix it so he hands it to soemone else that doesnt know how to fix it? you should point your friend to XDA, its a great resource

I guess if you guys wanna say is me doesn't really bother me.... I use xda to flash and stay up to date with the community I am in no way a developer or claim to know what I am doing.... Just trying to help a friend out or like you guys say me.... Just trying to fix a phone I was the one that rooted the phone for him... Just don't see the big deal..... But hey if it makes you guys happy saying it was me that did it I don't mind no big deal just looking for help thats all.....

OP, you might want to uninstall the drivers you currently have for 'android 1.0' in device manager, reboot the computer and then try installing the new drivers.

Or use a tool kit to download a factory rom and flash it.
Edit: can't you mount the sdcard using cwm and copy a rom to the sdcard?
