I updated my radio but not quite happy with the result. I try the PD98IMG.zip method, but the bootloader tells me that the zip is corrupted and no flash process starts.
I am not quote sure what kind of s-off sI have, but the phone was rooted the old way, no htc unlock.
The first line reads
Ace PVT SHIP S-oFF RL
Is it safe to try the Windows fastboot method.

Ok, I want to replace the radio II have, and I follow this instructions, but the flash process will not strat, fastboot says the img is invalid.
My question is - do I have to rename the zip I downloade, of the extracted img itself. I did it a few weeks ago but I cannot remmeber how I did it ??
I am downgrading!

if the zip file you download contains the .img file and and .txt file. then yes, rename it PD98IMG.zip and put that in the root of your sdcard. Make sure that md5sum checks....flashing radios is a delicate thing.
For further help use the guide in my signature...
checksum is OK, I tried, but no txt file ??
I saw it mentioned once, but cant find a link to it, what does it have to contain, encoding, etc?
The txt file was the problem, I had to add it. Here it is for anyone who might need it.

It contains the update script...find in the guide in my signature that there is one PD98IMG.zip empty folder....put the radio .img file in there and do a normal compress....then flash it in the bootloader as mentioned.

Yeah, I managed to flash I just added the script for anyone trying to go my route, since all radios come zipped, but do not contain the txt file
PS Zips made on ubuntu will refuse to flash, ??

um...maybe the wrong compression in the zip file...it has to be normal compression.

Thanks mate.
I don't understand step #5. What does it mean "copy the boot.img in the folder that you prefer"?
1- Go into Recover (CWM) and Mount USB
2- Now From your PC create a folder in the root of the storage and call it "clockworkmod"
3- In the "clockworkmod" folder create another folder named "backup"
4- Extract the .zip file in that folder (do not change the name of the folder extracted cause it could give md5sum problems)(also the folder name must not have any space between words)
5- Before continuing on the phone, open that folder from the pc and copy the boot.img in the folder that you prefer
6- Reboot phone into Fastboot mode and flash the boot.img by typing
Code:
fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img
7- Reboot the phone into Recovery again
8- Go to Backup & Restore> restore> and here choose the folder previously extracted, and that's it

That means to copy it in a folder from which you will perform step 6. To make your life easier, I usually copy it in the same folder where I keep fastboot and adb files.
In that case you should only type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Which nandroid you have?
4.1.1?
If so, then yes, repeat the procedure once again with your bakup to return to Jelly Bean.
One more thing, make sure that the nandroid you download is named with date and time (something like "2013-01-28.08.49.48"), otherwise you will face md5 issue. There is a solution for that, too, but I don't know if you would do it.

It looks alright. You have your cache, data, and system partitions in it.
And, I was right - you will get MD5 mismatch, for sure! So, you will have to follow the instruction that I indicated before.
If it doesn't work, or you are having problems, keep your current boot.img handy, and give it a try. You can always revert to your previous state.

If you copy boot.img files into your "fastboot" folder, then it's easier to type the command. Instead of:

Less possibility for error.
You can place both boot.img files to this folder, only name them in a way you can recognize them in future (boot_my.img and boot_old.img, for example).
I would also check if nandroid.md5 is the same as the one in parent folder. But, anyhow, you will have to adjust your md5, I'm sure of it.

Hey guys, I am in the process of rooting my evo 4g using this method http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-on-hboot-2-18-with-s-off/ since I have 2.18 hboot version. I have unzipped all the files from RootEvo4GNew, and the file recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img does not have the .img extension on it when I unzip it to the correct folder, and when I try to flash that in the cmd prompt it says
unknown partition 'recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img
I am assuming it can't find the file because it doesn't have the extendion .img on it once extracted. Any ideas? The icon next to the file looks like a zip file and can't be opened by 7zip
See it looks like a winzip file instead of a image file
Ok so I uninstalled winzip and now just have 7zip and it now shows the file as an .img file but I am still getting the same error message when in the command prompt. What am I doing wrong? Here's another image to show you what I mean

Thanks for the advice, I think this may work as I did have one extension duped. Problem is when I run the recovery it says it's an older version than what I already have installed and asks if I want to restart the device. I also still can't get the phone to flashboot recovery recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img and it still says unrecognized partition in the command prompt. Is there a way to flash this from the sc card or anything else you can think of to try?

Are you trying to fastboot flash the recovery .img file to your phone? If so you need to use the command "fastboot flash recovery *insert file name here*" (without quotation marks or asterisks). The recovery img file has to be in your ADB tools folder, alstherwise, put the recovery PC36IMG.zip file in the root folder of your SD card, make sure it's named PC36IMG.zip with no extra .zip extension, and reboot your bootloader. Follow the on-screen prompts to update your recovery.

Ok, successfully rooted with s-off! I have read through all the guides, and am still a bit confused because most of them are from 2010 and 2011. I need to flash a rom that will work with metro-pcs. Can you guys help me with which steps I need to take? I tried to download metrodroid v4 but the download link isn't working. Will aall of the roms in this thread work with metro pcs or do I need a specific one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318070
Also, once I have a rom flashed, do I have to go in to a metro pcs store to get it activated (I do not currently have a metro pcs account or other metro phone) or can I get the esn activated online or by calling there 800 number?
I know most of you already know this, but it may help others because this is very usefull for installing kitkat.
It's a pain to copy an 1,2 GB ROM to internal storage, so sideloading (installing from PC) it's lot easier and faster.
So here's the trick.
Copy the zip you want to install in "adb" folder (archiev attached)
Reboot phone in recovery mode
Optional - do your wipes
If you have CMW
Go to install zip -> install zip from sideload
If you have TWRP
Go to advanced -> ADB sideload
connect the USB cable and run START.cmd
type "adb devices" to check if your phone is recognized and connected (skip if you know everything it's ok)
type "adb sideload kitkat.zip" (replace kitkat with zip's name)
Notes:
Ofc you need USB drivers
Ive tried that a couple times but always i get a "cannot read kitkat.zip" thing, any idea why?

Umm... Did you replace "kitkat.zip" with the actual name of your zip file (or rename your zip to "kitkat.zip")? I know it might be a very stupid question, but I can only read your post, not your mind...

First, there is no way for a rom to use ".rar" extension. After, error means that the file couldn't be read (missing or corrupted). Also you may try my method which doesn't need android SDK, so there is no complications with wrong paths or such.

It looks to me that your screenshot is showing contents of a ZIP inside a RAR. What @roscatel means, you should extract the ZIP from the RAR that you downloaded -- it's actually an archive packed inside another archive. After that, flash the ZIP you just extracted using any method (sideload, or from recovery as usual). Do NOT rename RAR to ZIP -- it doesn't make sense, and will most definitely NOT work.

Are you getting errors or file not present?
You can flash them with separate commands like fastboot flash system system.img, etc. Just make sure to flash everything correctly with correct commands. The flash all is just to make it easier on you and save time. Here's a link to a helpful site.
