I'm having real problems unzipping the above file to show the .img file. The error I keep getting is "Winzip only supports IMG files that are in the ISO format" I have tried to downloading Winrar and 7 Zip file manager but still cannot get it unzipped.
Please, can anybody help, i'm so frustrated!
Thanks

Ah, you will extract this for put into adb/fastboot folder for flash
So, when you have the winrar windows, drop the file and put it into the folder or the desktop.
Now you can flash/use it

dude, the .img IS THE 'image' file. You don't need to unzip it or anything, just flash it through fastboot.
It's not a compressed .zip file -__-

How would I go about pulling the files from http://rapidshare.com/files/3899834....651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe and flash back to stock using just the phone, not using the computer at all?

Download the RUU zip from there and move it to the root of your sdcard (where u have all your other flashable zips) with a file manager and flash

grab the rom.zip file people have extracted from the RUU, put it on the root of your sdcard. rename it from rom.zip to PC36IMG.zip, reboot into the bootloader and it will analyze the PC36IMG.zip file and ask if you want to flash.
confirm yes and you'll be back to stock in no time!

exactly what this guy said, but to be more specific on how to do it, run the RUU executeable at the first screen minimize the application
do a "start>run" or a "<windows key> + r" and type in %temp% and hit ok, then search this folder for rom.zip and then rename it to PC36IMG.zip *care on if the .zip extension showing or not depending on your windows view settings* and copy it to the root directory of the sd card
restart the phone by power+vol down then it will search then ask you to flash, this whole part is extremely similar to steps in the flipz root method
like I said exactly what he said, just broken down like barney

I ask because on the first post of How to root by toast it says at the end:
HOW TO RETURN BACK TO STOCK BUILD:
-Easy peasy- run the RUU in the first post of this thread. this is the only RUU that after flashing, you will still be able to root using this method. link below:
Click to expand...

and there are different rom versions, I think this one has other Radio.
Any ways, i see this as a must have since you can go back to stock ROM on the go if you need it, for warranty/replace/exchange.
Here comes a stupid question. Where is the root on your sd card? Is it anywhere on the sd card or is it a certain directory?

Did what you said rebooted into bootloader but it wouldn't let me flash. What gives I have to unroot to get a new one. Thanks
Use the latest ZIP here:
http://goo-inside.me/evo/stock/RUU/
Move the ZIP from /sdcard/download to /sdcard and rename it to PC36IMG.zip. Check the MD5, then reboot into hboot.
I extracted the root then it top me its a older version can't do it
Sorry but what is MD5, and once downloaded do I have to extract it then flash?
Do not extract.
Do not flash.
Just do what I said to do.
Also, learn to search. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/MD5
Hi all
I am trying to locate the yakju-icl53f-factory-89fccaac.tgz file on googles website, but they've changed the file to yakju-icl53f-factory-89fccaac.tar now.
Does that mean I can flash it with Odin now?
If I try to extract the contents with 7-zip its just a single file without an extension - no separate bootloader, etc files.....
Any ideas???

When you hold your cursor over the file links they say TGZ, but when you click to download its TAR..

The fix, if anyone else has the same issue as me, just rename the file back to TGZ, then use 7-zip to unzip it. For some reason Windows 7 changes the TGZ to TAR at the time of download.

Interestingly, it seems to be Internet Explorer renaming from .tgz to .tar. Downloading in Firefox just appends the .tar (eg "----.tgz.tar")

Ok, maybe stupid question, but when unraring the cm-10.1-20130316-STAGING-5-endeavoru Rar ask me to replace existing files? Do i need click yes(yes to all) or no(no to all)?
P.S. I unrar in clean folder, not in same folder over and over again!
Thanks

I assumed that i need extract files before flashing to phone, i own several android devices , and for example lg use kdz files, and people just rar it for less space or , uploading server rules! This is my frist HTC wich i want to "customize",and for other devices i used to extract files from .rar before flashing! From your's reaction i think that i use .rar to flash with?
Re: Extracking CM-10.1-20130316-STAGING-5-endeavoru from rar
Firstly, the file is a zip archive.
Secondly, yes, you flash them just like that, without unzipping or extracting.

The only file you need to extract from the rom.zip is the boot.img file. It must be flashed with fastboot commands

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.

The phone isn't rooted though it's s-off thru sunshine and that's it
take the OTA.zip from somewhere, unzip it and the the firmware.zip.
You only need the android-info.txt from your current firmware.
Take out ALL .img files, download TWRP and rename it recovery.img zip it with android-info.txt into a 2PS6IMG.zip
Put this on your external SD card, shut down the phone. press volume down + Power.
Press volume up (IIRC, might also be down, its written on the screen) to flash the file.
done.
