Sorry but coming from a DX flashing was very easy. Flashing the Rezound is easy as well but I'm a bit lost on one issue.
When I flash a Kerel a PH98IMG.ZIP is created. I complete all of the steps but then can't get out of HBOOT because the PH98IMG.ZIP is still on my SD Card.
How do you delete the file via HBOOT? Was finally able to get out of HBOOT by putting my SD into my wife's phone and deleting it. But I'd rather delete or at least rename the file via the SDK.
Thanks in advance.
After you flash it, you just simply reboot your phone and delete it... simple as that.
OR, you put the SDCARD into something else, like you did, and delete it.. but you only run into this if you're trying to get into recovery using the VOL-DN + POWER method while PH98IMG.zip is still present in your SDCARD root... if you're simply rebooting the device it will skip HBOOT entirely and just boot into android where you can remove it with any file manager or the terminal emulator app.

Thanks for the reply.
But, I tried that and no luck, even did a battery pull and tried it again. Maybe just a fluke???

If you have a PC. wait until you hit hboot. Don't press anything. Plug into your PC and use the command "adb reboot recovery" AmonRa has a USB-MS mount command that will allow you to mount to your PC and remove the file.
Or as stated above, turn the phone off, remove SD card and boot. One of the guys here had a wicked trick for it but I don't remember how it went.

I'm on a Mac and did do the reboot recovery and it still went to HBOOT. But I am using Amom and was not aware of the USB mount. Assuming that you just go to recovery (if I can) and go to mount option, then I will see the option?
Thanks a ton MrSmith
after the boot.img is flashed it asks if you would like to reboot. after rebooting and your phone is on, mount your sd card, locate the file and then delete.
Found this fix on TeamBAMF. Hope it helps...

Yes, assuming you can get into recovery, you can mount the SD card(to your PC) in recovery and remove the PH98IMG.zip file.
Thanks all, I'll give it a go next time that happens.

I have downloaded the app from eclips3 and have tried rooting my phone..when i go to reboot my phone and holding down vol down plus pwer key my phone does not read the PB00IMG.zip file, eclips3 has been a lot of help but we have ran out of ideas. Does anyone else have any ideas of how to root my phone or put a ROM on it?
1. try a new sd card
2. make sure you have at least 50 % battery life...
3. Re download the image..
if not...go to verizon n tell them you cant root your phone.. LOL! jk...
hope someone else knows what to do...
lol thanks..do you think verizon will help me root it?? lol jk;-)
do you have the PB00IMG.zip in the root of your sd card (not in any other folders?)
The Beginning
You are going to need the Android SDK installed and working as we all the latest version of Java.
Extract and run ‘SDK setup.exe’ . You can find a quick setup on the download page for Android SDK.
Make sure you install the SDK for 1.5, 2.1 and USB Driver package (to make it easy just click to install all).
Put your phone into USB debugging mode: Settings > Applications > Development > check USB Debugging
Connect your phone to your PC
Open device manager on your PC, the device with the yellow exclamation mark next to it is your phone.
Right click on the device and click ‘Update Device’. Find and locate your Android SDK directory and find the ‘USB Driver’ Folder. If you can’t find the USB Driver folder then you didn’t install the USB Driver Package.
Once your Device driver is updated you can continue on to the next step: Rooting your phone.
Rooting Your Phone
Download PB00IMG.zip
Place PB00IMG.zip into the root directory of your SD Card. (Thats right inside your SD Card, not inside any other folders.)
Power down your phone.
Turn your phone back up by holding down the ‘down volume’ and the power on keys at the same time. It should bring you to the HBOOT screen. When it says Push Activate you have to push down on your trackball. The process will take about 10 minutes, and when your phone starts back up it will take quite a bit longer than usual.
Your Phone is now rooted!! (That was the easy part)
Install Recovery Image
Be sure your phones SD card is not mounted to your computer before you start anything.
Download Recovery.zip
Extract file contents to your \tools\ directory of your Android SDK.
Open up a command prompt and go to your tools directory (‘cd …./android-sdk-windows/tools’ or where ever your directory is but cd is the change directory command) , and execute these commands:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
You now have a recovery partition on your phone, you can access it by going into recovery mode on your phone (volume up + power on).
Install new rooted ROM
Download eris21official-root.zip
Copy eris21official-root.zip into the root directory of your SD Card.
Reboot your phone into Recovery Mode. (power down your phone and turn it back on with volume up and power button)
Go to Wipe, and do a wipe of data/factory reset, as well as dalvik-cache wipe.
Go back to the main menu and select “Flash Zip from SDcard”. You should see your eris21official-root.zip, select it and press the track ball to flash it.
You are now done and are running the latest version of the root rom. Remember these last step because they are the steps you will be using to use other ROMS or to update.

if you follow those steps step by step then it should work... its exactly what i did and what a lot of other people have done
for custom roms just find the rom you would like to try and follow the 'install new rooted rom' steps
i have downloaded and set up the sdk but i dont have a yellow triangle with an explanation point on my device manager..my phone is in debugging mode. I have just tried over and over copying the PB00IMG.zip file to my sd card and it still doesnt read it. It just says trying to read image PB00DIAG.img and a few others and says no image then goes straight to the hboot screen.

I'm rooting right now (my third Eris, actually) and it does that. You need to agree to updating by pressing volume up or down (don't recall which one, the screen will tell you, though..). It looks like it wants you to run through the first step all over again but it's not, the second time is the actual installation of the .zip on your sdcard.
-mak
it says my drivers are up to date when i click update drivers...so now i am stuck trying to root my phone..the problem i am having there is i cant get my phone to read the PB00IMG.zip file from the hboot screen.

First, this post doesn't belong here as this is the HTC Droid Eris forum. Your phone isn't even an HTC brand. I looked and saw that XDA doesn't have a section for an LG Optimus S so I would guess not, personally. Perhaps you should try Google?
Good luck.
I have an S-OFF HTC Incredible S 4G running 2.3.3 trying to get it rooted, I am trying to keep up but so use to stupid iPhone modding/themeing so just lost on how to send or use my SD card for ROMS? Can I just use the old word (shsh) files over to my phone while its plugged in its the Fdisk and do I put the files into 'root', I have installed Superuser app/ROM Manager app onto my phone also have Gingerbreak.v.120apk on my desktop plus Superuser.apk am I lost or what and anyone willing to help but go easy on me?
Thanks, TheCrow
Do you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed?
I have ROM Manager installed off the Market but my question is probably the one that I'm can't get the answer for which is, how do I transfer things onto my SD card cuz I have played a lot with my old iPhone 4 with mods/themes and so on but never had to write to my SD card atleast I don't think I did thats why I ask if its as easy as dragging and dropping files over to my phone while its plugged into my computer as 'use as driver'? I can't even get the CWM to work properly because it says something about 'special privillages', I have S-OFF but just want to get rooted so I can move on to the fun . Do I need something set on my phone or installed to get going, I also put Superuser & Astro on my phone from the Market so can if you have the time just give me a few dumby steps to point me in the right direction and I am over at the Android Newzealand site which is awesome but they get most files from here and only one guy is trying to help

I am all about trying to get things done in the easiest way possible to help the people that are new to Android.
This method has worked for me but there is no guarentee that it will work for you and I am no way responsible for anything that happens to your device.
DO THE ROOTING PROCESS AT YOUR OWN RISK
Procedure to Root HTC Incredible S
1. Install the ADB on your computer, but before that you will have to turn on the USB debugging in your incredible S which can be turned ON by pressing the “Menu” key first then “Settings” > “Applications” > “Development”. Now here you will find an option of “USB debugging”, select the option and just accept the warning which it will pop up. It’s very important to put the device in the USB debugging and also important to go through the ADB setup process without which it’s not advised to proceed.
2. Now you will have to download the Rooting package which you will have to unzip the same and need to place in the location path c:\adb after which you will have to connect the phone to the computer.
3. Now, open the command prompt and key in the “cmd” and then you will have to make use of the change directory command so that the directory in which you have placed the rooting file can be accessed.
4. Next type in the “pushroot” and enter the same, basically this will push in the pushroot.bat file.
After this type in adb shell /data/local/tmp/getroot and after that type in adb shell and press enter.
After typing in the above commands, you will now be prompted as # after which you will have to type in /data/local/tmp/pushroot.
That’s it you have now successfully rooted the HTC Incredible S

Try reflashing CWM Recovery. Since you have S-OFF, it should work. If you get it to work, then flash (install zip from SD in CWM) the attached file and you should be rooted.

I appreciate the one above yours and kinda understand it but waaay too indepth maybe, I also tried yours but when I go to HBoot menu and Recovery to look for the .zip file it is no where and I plugged my device into computer and 'debugging Enabled' also set my connection as 'disk drive' to load the file to my SD card but still can't find it?? I can't believe it is this hard cuz I see many others rooted and flying away on their Incredible S 4G, I was able to get the Gingerbreak.v.1.20apk on my device but it just keeps loading and saying that it will reboot once successful but after 20-30mins I figured it was not going to work also I have ROM Manager installed already but as you know no Superuser previlliages yet so can't load CWM

Have you tried searching for the zip when your device is NOT connected to your pc? And just so you know, you do NOT need superuser privileges (root) to be able to use ClockworkMod especially since you already have S-OFF. Have you tried flashing a different version of ClockworkMod? You could try using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638 to flash it from your PC.

I'll try finding it without being plugged in to pc, I put Gingerbreak.v.1.20apk on my SD card no issues so I shouldn't have an issue putting the CWM on but do you have a newer version (sorry) also do you think one of my issues is that I have a CWM on my 'Astro' file finder but the files say they don't exist so should I delete it and start over with a newer one that you may have and should I take of ROM Manager until I finish putting these files in cuz it should not be this hard others are rooted on their Incredible S 4G 2.3.3.

You are not supposed to open the image. Download Android Flasher, connect your device to your pc, run Android Flasher, select recovery (at the side), find the image file you downloaded, select it, click ok (and again if necessary), and it'll do the rest.
Question, I drag and drop files over to my phone while plugged in to my SD card but everyone says to the root folder I just don't have a 'root' folder so one guy said to drop the files into the very first one and that is what I did with Gingerbreak.v1.20apk but it just says its rooting and will reboot device when done? After 3 attempts each at 15-25mins the wheel is still spinning so am I putting it in the right spot, Gingerbreak does show up in my apps drawer but the unzipped versions of CWM or Superuser never show up on my device even when I go to 'recovery' through Revolutionary to unzip it?

Did you read/understand my previous post?
Kinda but how does that have anything to do with rooting my Incredible S (sorry) its just that I'm new to HTC devices and I've been told that I have to be rooted to put ROM themes on my device and I have S-OFF, thats not enough is it? I tried the guy above yous method of ADB but my computer does not 'recognize that path', I did exactly what his video says but again is either of these methods going to get me 'rooted cuz all I want to do is start enjoying my phone plus your saying I don't have to have 'Superuser Permissions' to use CWM?? Sorry bro if I'm being difficult but I just want to be rooted already and have you heard of this angermod or what ever its called, like Gingerbreak or something?
HELP PLEASE lol, thanks
Forget about Gingerbreak. The tool (and instructions) is to flash the custom recovery (ClockworkMod) to your device. I said this before, and I'll say it again, using ClockworkMod recovery DOES NOT require root. You are going to root your device by using Clockwork to flash the file attached in post #5. After flashing that file, your device will be rooted.
When I go to extract it they ask for a gehroot password, I copied what looks like a password under my Incredible S/Vivo but that one did not work for the CWM download
I will try this tomorrow 4 sure and thanks for your patients, fill you in when I'm rooted (hopefully) Also is there a special password to download the CWM for my Incredible S/Vivo, sorry again?
One more question (sorry) the one I did download the other day was supposed to be CWM but it has all kinds of other files with it like 13 files including 'SuperOneClick' also suv1/v2/v3 plus 'busybox' but don't see cwm anywhere so anyway do I use the 'Android Flasher' and flash all of them like the whole folder or each one individually?
In the CWM image file, there are like 13 files that came with it like suv1/v2/v3 plus busybox and SuperOneClick so which or all of these files do I flash with Android Flasher?

Clearify this for me.
Can you get into hboot at all? If you have adb and fastboot already installed and configured on your computer you should be able to do: adb shell reboot bootloader.
What does it say at top? Unlocked or Relocked? If relocked then proceed.
Do you have a PH85IMG.zip file on the root of the external sdcard?

You cannot push a file to the sdcard via fastboot. It must be there already when the hboot is activated so that it can be detected and prompt you to update.
There is a version however I could never get it to install. It always gives me an error.
Difference between deodex and odex is simply the way that the files are compiled. For example the odex version you will see files such as Browser.apk, Browser.odex, Calculator.apk, Calculator.odex, Calendar.apk, Calendar.odex, etc. The de-odexed is simply the *.odex files already compiled with the .apk files. So there will not be a Browser.odex, Calculator.odex, etc. Is there a difference performance wise? None that I've noticed personally. However it does make it easier to theme when there isn't a .odex file involved and it's also a lot easier to manage.
Back on topic... do you have another sdcard to try? Perhaps the one that you are using is corrupted somehow? Remember to properly unmount the device before you unplug it.
i do have another sd card (in my hd2) with ext 2 pert'. i will give it a try later on.
but the strange thing is that on this phone i didnt put any sd card, i only use the internal card.
another thing, i cant boot into the hboot if i turn of my phone, only after i pull the battery out.

Umm it's supposed to do that to load the kernel. Then you boot up to your rom and first thing delete that file off the SD card
Just boot up Rom like normal then delete using a file explorer like es file or root explorer. If it won't reboot to your rom, then pull battery remove sd card and boot . Once your booted up then reinstall SD card and delete the ph file.

What are you flashing? There's a lot of renaming things to the PHzip file name.
Actually, in any case, if you are being asked for update you should press volume up to select update, then if it says to press the power button that should be your "yes" answer to allow it to proceed. I think it says that.
Then once it is done reboot the phone if it didn't do it already and, as mjh68 mentioned above, use a file explorer like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer to delete that PHzip file. Then you should be good to go. Or you can then connect to your pc and delete the file that way, or power down and take the card out and put it in the pc and delete the file. If you don't delete that file then every time you boot up your phone it will go to flash it again.

I am flashing CleanRom 2.3 except with the nonstandard kernel. I will try removing the microsd and putting back the standard kernel then updating again. Thanks
EDIT: When I boot my phone it goes straight to the update screen not to the bootloader. Is there any way to boot the phone into recovery with my computer?
If you have a backup, and have adb just type adb reboot recovery to restore or wipe and flash a new Rom. Make sure the Rom matches the kernel
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Basically i went to flash a Rom in my phone, one of the requirements for the Rom was to format system. Not looking I, formatted SD card instead. Erasing my backup i had just made, and whipping the Rom that I was about to flash. So, what I need help with is seeing if anyone know a way to flash a Rom to my phone while in recovery, or is there a way to mount my SD Card memory while in Fastboot or recovery? I'm just looking to be able to flash any Rom in my phone to at least get it able to be used again.
CWR had an option to mount the sd card under mounts and storage. I say had because that was on my dinc2. I'm not rooted on my DNA so I don't have a custom recovery to check for you but this is how I did it in the past.

Not to fret, ran into this problem last night. Both of our recoveries allow for adb sideload but ithasn't worked for me (maybe it will for you)
If it doesn't work, you can drop whatever ROM you want into your ADB folder. To make things simple, just change the name of the ROM to DNA. Go into your recovery and then cd to your adb tools from a command window. type in adb push dna.zip /sdcard/ and it'll move it to your internal storage. It takes awhile so be patient :good:

Okay quick question, well questions. When typing in my adb commands, do my phone need to be in fastboot, if not when you say it needs to be in recovery do it need to be in recovery with it mounted some how or just in recovery in general. Sorry if i'm being a complete noob, but being phone less is killing me

No problem, we all have to start somewhere. I'll give a bit of clarification.
Fastboot is a way of accessing the Android system from the bootloader, such as flashing system and boot.img's or recovery files, meaning you can't be booted into the system when you want to use Fastboot.
ADB is the android debugging bridge and can be used at just about any time your phone is booted. For the average user, it's mainly a tool to push and pull files. So, in this case since you need to push the ROM to your phone.
I'm not sure if this can be done from the bootloader since it's going to your internal storage, so you need to boot into your recovery. Once there, you don't need to do anything. just make sure that the .zip is in your ADB directory. Open up a command prompt, cd to your adb tools, then use adb push insertfilename.zip (Like I said, rename it to dna to make it easy) so the command looks like adb push dna.zip /sdcard/ This takes awhile depending on the file size (UKB took about 5 minutes, I think. Maybe longer.) so just be patient. If it gives you any type of error, just try again. Hope this helps
