If you already are S-off..
Than just flash cm7r2 from alpharev..
For partition of SD card... USE GPARTED LIVE ALWAYS...
Follow the instructions...
do primary fat32 partition first..
Than ext4,2,3...also primary... which ever you like or the ROM demands

It won't flash. I think its something to do with telstra branded 8131's being slightly different. Any auzzies here that can help?

The image must:
1) be on the root of SD card
2) Be name EXACTLY "PB99IMG.zip" with capital letters and everything.
It could also be corrupt so if the above is correct (not zip.zip not pb99img.zip), re download it.

I'm not a linux fan boy but I use it as I have to to build ROMS. even before ever using linux, I would definitely agree with this. Always use Gparted. Accept NO substitues.
Minitool- Piece of crap, lucky if it doesn't break things
Easeus - Ok, but EXT is not a native windows format
SD Parted - No GUI in recovery, no way to amend properly, does not align partitions
Gparted - Linux based (EXT native), Aligns partition, GUI, Stable and robust.

Simple, yes. Have you not tried?
If your card is a micro sd made as a htc goldcard then you can
Think you placed your post in the wrong category, maybe it should have been in general(Q&A's)

No. He cannot. Goldcard have to be created for every device separate as it's made for device unique CID.
The cid is unique to the sdcard, not the phone!

My bad I never knew

I can't install DZ HBOOT

I have S-OFF. I have tried following the directions on: http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
In Bootloader it won't recognize the PC10IMG.zip file. I had checked the MD5 sum and it checks out perfectly, however it when it will not initialize the install of the file when it runs through its file scan.
Is there another way to install the DZ HBOOT or a way to force my G2 into recognizing the .zip file?
Thanks in advance.
check the file is not named PC10IMG.zip.zip.

Double checked that already. It's really quite frustrating, I've searched and searched and can't find out why.
So you have the zip on the root of your sdcard?

Yes sir, it will run through its file scan and it'll say its looking for the PC10IMG.zip file but says its not found.

Is there a way to install the DZ HBOOT without having to use the PC10IMG.zip? That would make my life a heck of a lot easier.
I believe you could flash the .img using fastboot, not sure of the exact command though
2 thoughts
1 - I am assuming it is on / on the sd card
2 - I am assuming that the filename case is exactly that (ie not all caps or all lowercase).
wats your Hboot version?

Yes there is a way using adb. Not sure where it's @ but i think you would just use the xda vision wiki, and substitute the desire hboot in place of eng h-boot in the article. Thats the way we flash the eng h-boot when we initially s-off our devices so i would think that it would work the same for this?
My HBoot is 0.76.2000 (PC1010000).
I'll look into the Wiki and see what I can find. If you guys have any ideas let me know!
Okay, problem solved! I was using a 2GB memory card. I followed GinoAMelone's advice in a different thread and switched to my 4GB card and it Bootloader magically recognizes the PC10IMG.zip. Thanks for all your help guys!
I have the same problem but the culprit is different, it's my own mistakes prior the creation of gold card, btw I use 2Gb Micro SD

[q] help pleaseee i beg you

Ok i flashed a rom and i made a full wipe and all my backups are GONE so am i screwed ???!! PLEASe
anybodyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy pleaseee
pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
lol ok i dont have that phone but remain calm and go into recovery and and click on mount usb and place your files back onto your sd card or take out the sd card put iit in a card reader slot on the pc or get an cheep one that plugs into the usb on the pc and place the files back on it then reflash

But everytime i root one i either get a : Bootloop, Error, Or its for GSM Desire
its hard finding CDMA ROMs .
Which roms did you try to flash?
The 3.5 and 3.0 ROMs like Runnnymede
On which hboot are you? Downloaded right version? Partitioned SD card correctly?

Those are not for CDMA phones. Search the Everything Desire thread, to find those which are working with CDMA devices.
Thanks davebugyi, totally overread OP has a CDMA desire.
lol to be honest i dont know my HBOOT i dont know anything about "STOCK HBOOT" or "CM7", im such a noob
You probable should have done some reading before flashing. But there are many good cdma roms. I personally recommend Oxygen. Head over to oxygen.im, they have their own forum there. A great AOSP rom.

Yeeahhh and if you have a CDMA phone you might not want to flash any alpharev HBOOTs since I'm pretty sure they'd brick your phone

FAT32 is a file format used by most SD-Cards/ portable memory sticks... EXTn is also a format, it us used by linux. Having an EXTn partition on your sd-card allows you to use data2ext, giving you as much memory as big the EXTn partition is... do you even know what you're talking about? lol

The size or speed aren't the issues. As far as I understand, your sdcard has a corrupted boot partition, which can occur when it's improperly unmounted. This prevents it from being a goldcard. A goldcard lets you flash RUUs with a different CID from yours. In this case, it would let you flash the downgrade.

No....corruption of the boot partition is due to bad habits such as pulling sdcard without proper dismounting it. You can not fix that.

NEW sdcards?? A different one is not good enough. Bad habits are hard to eradicate. Get a new one and make sure that you dismount it correctly.
I didn't really get the problem anyway u can try 2 things before u get the new sd
1: get the downloaded ROM from ur aahk folder and past it on the root of ur sdcard then get into the hboot and the phone should search and find the ROM and prompts u whether if u want to flash ths ROM or not
2: u can download the needed RUU using ur pc and the let the RUU finish everything
I hope that i provided useful and simple info....

How on earth is he going to flash a RUU on a corrupted sdcard? If you have a bad sdcard and therefore you can't make a goldcard then is useless to try to flash a ruu from fastboot. It will let you stuck on a downgraded rom with no root or S-OFF.
