you can pull the sd card out find a way to hook it up to a pc and delete the PCIMG86 file that it's reading.
i dont have a computer that can have an SD card inserted in to, but i do have another SD card. is there anything else i can do?

you need to somehow flash the boot partition with the boot.img file to stop the boot loop
Just remove the sdcard,then boot phone into bootloader highlight fastboot then from computer extract the boot.img from a ROM and place it inside the platform-tools folder then go fastboot flash boot boot.img and that should fix your problems hope u get it and it helps .... Need more help just PM me

Yes it worked!!! Thanks guys
You can also install the new 4EXT recovery touch with smartflash s-on to flash the roms without the need of using fastboot anymore ..hope it helps

You will have to extract the boot.IMG file from the zip file and flash via fastboot flash boot boot.IMG and it will reboot the phone also

Stuck
Hey,
I'm an experienced flasher who got a lil flash happy and is now stuck. I can't get into the recovery because I have a PCIMG86.zip on my sdcard and when I load into the bootloader it automatically tries to update. I don't have another sdcard to use nor do I have sdcard slot on a PC/laptop. Is there anything I can do to get back into recovery?
Boot into your rom and open up a file explorer or file manger and remove the zip or put the zip into a folder.

i think by him saying he's "stuck" means he's not able to boot into the rom.
i dont think there is a way without being able to removing the file first
any other phone that you can throw your sd card into real quick and remove the file?
usually i have my work bb for this stuff but started a new job and my gf now has a iphone. seems like im screwed until i get my hands on an sdcard or another android phone. theres no command to stop the pcimg86 update??

Nope. You have to do what the people in this thread said about a month ago. If you can boot up your phone and restart into recovery you can do that. And don't feel bad I did this earlier when I got flash happy lol. ICS will do that to ya.
Have you tried booting your phone into safe mode ??? Also I noticed you asked is there any command to stop the update does this mean you have adb ??
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
In bootloader adb doesn't detect the device...same goes with being in recovery.
Also, the bootloader automatically picks up the pcimg86.zip file. I think I messed something else up though cause its not even mounting the sdcard anymore...it's frustrating.
I must've did some damage when trying to force my mem card in while the battery was in as well (I miss the evo 4g when you could do that). So now I need either a) an sdcard reader b) another sdcard or c) another phone cause it doesn't read sdcards anymore....
Having no phone sucks in 2012 :-/

Remove the SDcard so that the bootloader won't find PCIMG86.zip and then boot normally into recovery and put the SD card back in.

When i was trying to boot into recovery mode it failed and it gave a superuser error. At this moment i had leedroid rom evo 3d gsm that is s-off. When i still had stock rom i never had this error but it seems like it was there all the time with the leedroid rom. Well so i was trying to boot into recovery. Tried it with power button and volume down button at same time, but this was failing. So i did it with rom manager. I used rom manager before when i installed leedroids rom. But now it didnt boot into recovery. I tried installing superuser again but it didnt seem to make any difference. with rootchecker i checked if i had root acces but it seemed i lost root acces :S. after retrying a couple of times my phone didnt boot back to the leedroid rom. I was trying a lot of things, with and without sd and sim. After about 20 reboots i tried power and volume down to go to bootloader and know it loaded. At bootloader start it loads some things and i saw no image blalbla dont really know what it meant. I tried to go to recovery but it wont boot, i get a white screen with htc and wont load anything. I tried all other options in bootloader too, to check if anything works but even a factory reset failed.
For me it looked like somehow my rom is f*cked and now i cant go to recovery mode somehow. I have rom on my sd so if i could go to recovery i could still flash. Does anyone know how i still might get to recovery mode or is there another way to still flash another rom. Maybe there are some people who can tell me more about leedroids rom, are there more people who got trouble with root acces?
anyone who might be able to help plz let me know, im so frustrated right now because i cant use my phone, i even need to think about a way to wake me up this morning because i always used my phone for alarm
That is a very easy to fix problem. First, download Clockworkmod recovery for your device (evo 3D GSM) or another recovery.
CWM 5.2.0 Shooteru: http://www.mediafire.com/?5kdr0c7xux2c64p
After download/finding the recovery, rename it to PG86DIAG. (or whatever it tries to scan for in bootloader. If its 2 things, it is the bottom one)
Place the file on your SD card somehow. (in your case you would need to take out the SD card and put it in another phone/adapter)
Boot into bootloader with volume down + power and it should scan for the file. When it asks if you want to do the update, press yes. After the recovery is installed, press power to reboot.
Do a battery pull while you are on the splash screen. Reboot back into bootloader with vol down + power and click on recovery. Wipe everything and flash the rom again. Reboot and you should be able to load the ROM with root and everything.
thx, im so happy to here your solution. Know lets search for my sd adapter, i know its somewhere . I will let you know later if it has worked

Oke i did what you said but when i boot into bootloader nothing has changed. It doesnt ask if i want to update anything. And if i go to recovery and try to boot it keeps hanging at the white screen with htc
btw, you said this:after download/finding the recovery, rename it to PG86DIAG. (or whatever it tries to scan for in bootloader.
Do you mean it might be other name i have to make it? How do i know this?

It is probably a different name.
When you boot into bootloader, it scans for 2 files and says not found, right?
The second file it scans for is the one you want to rename it to.
hmke, ye it scans for files but its going fast so cant see it very well. I see about 5 things get scanned
oke first thing it scanned is called PG86DIAG.zip, 2nd is PG86DIAG.nbh, 3th is PG86IMG.zip, 4th is PG86IMG.nbh, 5th is PG86IMG.tar, 6th is PG86IMG.aes, 7th is PG86IMG.enc
All this things are scanned and then it says no image
From what I can read if you lost root then you are s-on on the bootloader right? if so installing recovery through bootloader wont work... check if you have S-on or S-off on bootloader if you have s-on you will need to use a official update to restore your phone...

Do PG86IMG. Also, if it says S-On at the top of the bootloader, you will need to get S-Off with revolutionary again.

No im still s-off, but when my phone was less ****ed as it is now and i could still boot normaly, i already had some strange things with leedroid rom. superuser never seems to be working well. i couldnt give root acces, it gave an error when i try. even through root chekker it says no root, but i thought that might have something to do with superuser.

Instead of renaming to PG86DIAG, rename to PG86IMG and see if that works.

So it acts as if there is no .zip at all? Like it says "No image found"?
Double check if its a zip and the file is named properly. If it doesn't recognize it, there is a problem with your SD card/bootloader.
Oke when i put the .zip in a clockworkmod folder it didnt see it but now it shows parsing behind the PG86DIAG.zip and the PG86DIAG.img says no image or wrong image. All other thing still say no image
I tried the .zip you uploaded and now it could load the image , trying to flash now

I see what you're doing wrong. Don't put the zip in a clockworckmod folder. Put it on the root of your sd card.

Good catch on that one.
If you don't put it directly on the root of your sd card then the boot loader will not be able to find the zip and flash it.
Oke thx, i finally booted into recovery . I first had to delete the .zip again because it was trying to update again when i didnt. Im so happy now , couldnt done this without your help so i will push the thx button few times^^

So I was using CWM 5.0.2.6, then flashed the touch version of CWM because i was getting "installation aborted" error when trying to flash a rom. i was getting the same error when i flashed the touch version, so i decided to go back
I was using command prompt, Now my phone doesnt go past the white HTC screen, and when i try to go into recovery from the bootloader screen it just reboots the device.
any ideas guys?? i did flash a few kernels during the process because i was just changing roms, as i usually do and nothing ever happens.
Try putting the recovery on your SD card and flash through fastboot by pushing power and vol down? You might want to read around, you may have to rename. I've never done it this way

The dev of the ROM you are trying to use never updated the meta-inf script for the new version of CWM

I think you have to rename the recovery to PH85IMG.zip and boot your phone into fastboot, and it should recognize it and flash that way. I'm looking for the forum post now.

hello
First time, Long time. Just managed to install twrp2.2 and it is a nice ui for any sytem. But my issue is rough.
I was going to install a new rom with a Merto pcs service flashed over from Sprint. Unlocked S-om with rom manager on it
when I received it back. Read alot and many peple claim it is ok to stay with 1.50 so-on, others say to go back to 1.40.
I managed to root the device per maxs evo hacks and until I installed and accidently wiped kel/cashe, System by accident,
Anyways I even tried removing the 8 gig sd card and used a fully backed up same card to try and get recovery img file to boot into.
No luck because it goes into a screen that says (Parsing...[SD ZIP under that it says [1] RECOVERY . Then , Do you want to update
up=yes , down = No. Tried yes and continues bootloop.
Then I tried putting back the other sd card and that allows me to go onto the twrp ui but no ofixes that I know of or can do.
Can anyone help me, I will look out for you, really.
Thanks in advance. D-ACman Florida.
If I read correctly, you need to take out your SD card and put into a PC to remove the pg86100.zip img off of it. Put it back then go back to the bootloader and go to recovery. After that, flash a rom.

Ok I can try that but believe me I tried to do just that when thigs went crazy. So I though I should reinstall stock ruu after accidentally
wipeing my system along with cashe/kalvik/ and complete wipe, I somehow wiped the bootdrive of what it is telling me is the is no OS
installed si I'm at a loss and I k now if I can get into trwp recovery I can get a Rom either stock or other to be read and installed.
Each time I get bootloops and what I'm thinking is I should have take fastboot off when try to install an ICS rom, but that is still not the issue
I just believe I wiped eveything because of the statement on twrp ui that there is no OS installed.
I really appreciate whatever feedback and instructions you can give me. Just tell me what to try or do and I will
Thanks very much.
Download twrp recovery.img file. Put into your adb platform tools folder.
With phone off hold volume down & power.
Once in the bootloader, select fastboot.
Open a command from your platform tools folder. Then type..
fastboot boot recovery.img
Then just flash another ROM. If your sdcard is wiped , just toggle USB mass storage in recovery & transfer from computer.
Hope that helps

Ok woke up early today and I had seen this type of fix on another page on Q&A. SO first I had to get the file but you cant just
open prompt and type a command but I k now I had to go to the tools folder after inserting the .img file. Ok did that.
Since I have always kept my SDk in the root of my C:dr it's easier to hold shift down and right click on the tools folder then I placed the commands and brother, for lack of a better word or terminology,--- Absolutlely nothing happens.
Now am I using the right syntax commands? maybe not but the way you gave me the advice I thought it might get the img file onto the internal
drive of the phone.
Man I tried to even put the trwpzip file onto the sdcard and install it, unfortunetly that did'nt work either. So when I use the file manager
in TWRP2.2 I can see the files in the root of the phone and when I go and tap on the inner usb dr I have no files that I can see.What I might
have to do is to take snapshots of the actual menus I am seeing and perhaps I can get help that way.
I know it is difficult when you can't see exactly what is on my phone screen.
What about the DUMLOCK method within the ui of twrp. I have to digest some info on that section for I have'nt a clue about what the
dumlock does but if it's in the twrp UI it must be of some importance.
I really appreciate what you guys are doing for me and wether I get it fixed with or without your methods I will definately give U points for
taking time out to read my issues. I have not mentioned that I also have a duplicate phone (My 1st EVO) and that one came with 1.40 H-Boot
as opposed to this one with 1.50. nevertheless it is a good feeling, I know, when you can get ur **** running and installing Roms like if it was
a candy store. Im an old school type guy, as far as age is concerned and I am a Self employed Sub HVAC/R TECH and I Love to play with
ANdroid and all that goes with Flashing. I just wish I would have went to school for Computer Programming instead of AC.
But it is what it is. Sorry for the long life history and thanks again, If U can figure something else out please reply. Thanks

TWRP 2.2 recovery
when noticed I was low on space on my micro sd card I then replaced it witha pny 32 gig class 4 sd card
It comes already formatted 32 fat but I did another clean format on the computer
I replaced or copied everything onto the new card then installed it the working evo 3-d
I was on mikV for a few days but once I got into leedroid tweeks I then decided to just flash my nandroid recovery and go
back to stock.
At that time I was on CWM 4040 or something to that affect.
I noticed the beautiful UI for the TWRP 2.2 and decided to use that recovery.
As soon as I decided to use another custom rom the **** hit the fan.
So now I'm back where I started and I am reading many posts where I think I need to go and relock the phone
then install the stock rom and hopefully that will work.
What I need is to get step by step on the command prompts and computer to recognize the phone
when I try to place the image thats necessary to do the "fastboot lock commands and that it is seen working.
That's where I'm stuck at and am going from this dell laptop computer to my desktop and start the ADK/SDK download
put it in the C: drive and hopefully In the cprompt it will communicate to the phone.
I there a nooby guide to the step by step command procedure to do this?

Thanks for the response...I am having problems flashing the radio. "#fastboot flash zip ./*location*/ICS-PG05IMG.zip'...Can you tell me how this should be written exactly? I am using a windows pc...
If you don't wanna do it via fastboot:
Place radio on root of sd card.
Rename to PG05IMG.zip.
Hold power and volume down - to boot to bootloader.
It will find the zip and ask for confirmation to update.
Press volume bar to update and reboot when done.
Remove the PG05IMG.zip (radio image) from your SD card root after flashing the radio.
It will only try and scan for an update image when that file is present on the root of the sd card.
Anytime you flash a radio image, rename, move, or delete the file afterwords.
You will not be able to boot to recovery until you do so.
You may have to seek out an sd card reader if you do not do this and get stuck in a boot loop.
You may wanna have a second sd card on hand to do this process with or an sd card reader to edit the filename on pc.

You may have to seek out an sd card reader if you do not do this and get stuck in a boot loop.
You may wanna have a second sd card on hand to do this process with or an sd card reader to edit the filename on pc.

Getting Worse
This is getting bad! Now my phone will only boot into bootloader. I have turned the phone completely off and it still goes to bootloader. I used 4EXT and rebooted, still the same...Is this another version of a Bricked Phone?
Thanks
WOW! Finally got it figured out...The simplest of errors can cause so much frustration....Thanks for all of your help. It is much appreciated...
Thanks but no luck
I was finally able to flash the radio but it still sticks in the start up (white) screen)...

You may need to make sure you fast boot flash the ICS radios.

Did you format all the partitions in ext3 file system also?

I have placed the radio on SD card but it is not found when I go into the bootloader. I have also tried all of the before mentioned tips but none have worked for me so far...

I have had the "auto way" not work for me either...
using fastboot is a fail-proof way (provided you have the correct setup in place)
are you sure you have the correct fastboot and adb files before you start?
adb/fastboot files meant for Windoz will not work on Linux and Vice Versa
I doubt its the radios now. He has the wrong file system for sabsa bliss. It won't work using ext4 file system because of the stock kernel.

there is a custom kernel now... try that
Also try reverting back to EXT3...
Could not get it to work so I went back to Liquid Smooth...Will keep trying though until I get it.

Thanks to All...The problem was me inputting the wrong name of the Radio...I attempted to flash the radio as 'PG05IMG.zip...This radio was named 'ICS-PG05IMG...Once I corrected this, things fell into place...

That is one way of getting things to work.... trial and error.
I am glad you have gotten things resolved.
Yes, I even tried formatting ext4 as well. Each time I have attempted the install, everything checks out. It says it installed successfully but it just won't boot. I went back to Liquid Smooth until I can figure this out...

do a total wipe and format with the option of EXT3... it may not be booting because the kernel you could
be using does not support EXT4... it never hurts to double back and check those options out...

Wrong section for this question but I'll answer anyways. I'm assuming the RUU is a .exe file? If so you do not put it on your SD card, you simply plug your phone into your computer and run the RUU. Now if you're trying to load a custom ROM you simply put the ROM on your SD card, boot into TWRP, wipe all data except for SD card, go to install find the ROM .zip file and flash it.
Thanks for getting back to me @CavyS its a zip file I downloaded it from HTC website and when I plug my phone in the computer nothing happens it can't detect the device my apologies for posting in the wrong section but if you can give me step by step to help with this situation I will appreciate it to kind of explain it to me who don't really have any type of root experience

Reboot to bootloader by powering off and then holding power+volume down. Select "Fastboot" by the volume and power buttons. Your phone should be detected then. Here is the download link to the RUU that is a .exe. After your phones detected just run it and it will take care of everything else. Make sure you have the proper drivers installed for your phone also if its still not detected. http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_M8_[email protected]41216A_40.34.C35006.02_F_release_407726_signed_2.exe

You don't have knowledge of modding the phone, and tried modding it. Modding the phone isn't something you should be attempting without the proper time and effort to research, learn the processes, and understand before doing anything.You're down the rabbit hole now, so time to roll up the sleeves and start learning.
You have a couple options:
1) RUU as suggested. Make sure you have HTC drivers installed on your PC (easiest way is to install HTC Sync).
2) Get a flashable ROM (such as custom ROM) on the phone (either adb push or transfer to an SD card with a card reader) than boot into TWRP and flash the ROM.
