ok so I had trouble finding a PG86IMG zip file that would actually give me the option to upgrade. I had two issues that caused this, first the sd card i was trying to use was junk and second is that my phone would only work with one of these downloads. This is the download that worked for me. I hope this helps anyone else that has this same problem. http://d-h.st/ru0ow8ps0i01

the write speeds will be low and your data will corrupt
i tried 2 cards, one is known to be good.
it 'loads' the file but does not ask me if i should update or not
Did you try the link I posted?..... If so and that didn't work look around and try a different download.

Hope someone can help, i tried to upgrade without reading all the info here and the battery died, silly me. I can enter bootloader , save rom to SD, and when re-entering bootloader it will see this rom and and reinstall from it. I need to put a complete new rom on the SD card but every time i try this it doesnt see it within bootloader, do i have it in the wrong format? are there any tips/tricks etc? Ive used XDAtools and XDArit to no avail, the bootloader just wont see the file on there. I'm presuming that i have it in the wrong format somehow.
Cheers, Gary
What for SD-Card Writer are you using? Many internaly make big problems.
Stefan
thats the only thing ive thought of, its built into my printer. I'll try another one from work. Nothing else is there?
Thanks
No. Done this very often without any problem....

Many thanks, cant believe that a different card reader can make so much difference. I have other problems now but ive seen a post somewhere that deals with it.

I have a rooted thunderbolt running bamf and i found the font settings in the toolkit and i thought wow this would be cool to change fonts, so i picked out one that i liked and it said has to reboot to apply so i clicked reboot and now my phone is stuck on the htc screen when you initially boot.. the only thing i did was pick a font..
.. i tried to get into bootloader but it wont let me pick any options to reboot it just goes to a update and wont let me pick any option..
i did have a backup in clockwork made but i dont know how to get into it since i cant even get the phone on
need some help guys..
Well if it is trying to update while in HBoot that means you have an existing PG015img.zip on your phone (probably a radio that you flashed awhile ago). This is a big mistake to have not deleted this file. Always delete a PG015img.zip after using it (or renaming it)
The only thing I can suggest is if you have a friend with another smartphone, put your SD card in their phone, and delete that file.
Or if you have a micro sd card reader for your computer, use that to delete the file.
With that file on your SD card, you won't be able to boot into your bootloader, because it will automatically flash a PG015img.zip

Yeah thats where im at right now, i just got a sd card reader and removed it so i could get it into recovery, got that part out of the way, now i need to put it back on so i can get it updated and then get a radio on there

?? Don't put the radio back on there. Once you flash a radio, its done, its on your phone. The only time you should have a radio on your SD card is when you need to actually put a different one on your phone. You phone does not run off of radio on your SD card
I agree...the one time I forgot to delete the radio image off my SD after an update...I had my phone get caught in hboot trying to update again while at work. I had to borrow a friends micro SD reader to pull the file before I could resolve my issues. Would have been much easier if I had deleted it when I was done.

Yeah thats exactly what i had to do too, it freaked me out becuase i couldnt use any of the options in the menu and it kept just jumping to the updates
but its all good now.. kinda crazy how the phone bricked because of a font selection, i wont ever touch that option again though.
If you have a back up from clockworkmod try using adb... type adb reboot recovery in command prompt while your phone is connected to your computer, and once you get into clockworkmod recovery restore your back up. I had a problem with my lockscreen, I also didn't delete my radio, and this worked for me.

It didn't brick. It just froze.
If it bricks you will know it.
As for the radio, keep it on your SD. That way if you need to change it, its there. Just rename it.
For example: "MR2-PG05IMG.zip"

That's exactly what I do, and what I suggest in my q AND a thread. Also, after it's there on your root and renamed, CHECK the MD5!
ViperRez 1.0.3 won't download apps from market or links on the internet. Anyone have a fix?
Anyone?
Well, we need some more info.
Like a screenshot or an explanation of what happens.
Ok. Well I press download. It says 'starting download' but then I go to downloads and it says processing for like 20min. So I go to market and try to download chrome and the processing bar, not the downloading one that shows the percents, just keeps looping for another 10min. I know my Internet is fine, I've tried wifi and 4G and I know they both work because I'm able to access xda. Is this a known issue?
Will it download things that aren't apps?

As I said in my OP. Files from the Internet. (I was trying to download a video fix.zip)
Great now it won't let me take a screen shot. It says storage in use. Damn
Big fan of your CM9 roms btw. No problems there. I switched to a sense rom though to try out dsb's Cubed ICS Kernel 2.3.5 for Sense 4.0 Based ROMs.
Any ideas?

Is your SD card doing OK? You can access it from a file browser?

It's acting like your sd card is unmounted or is mounted to the computer.
I would back it up and format it. Is it not downloading the zips or not allowing you to see them in recovery.
What radio version are you running? You wiped system partition and data before installing the new rom?

No it can mount the sdcard just fine. The problem is it won't download the zips. I can see ones on my sdcard that I have already downloaded in recovery. My radio is 2.20
Edit: The zips will download I just need to reboot. Is there any fix for this. I don't want to have to reboot every time I want to download an app. This hasn't happened on any of my previous roms.
Guys? (sorry for lack of patience, but it's been an hour so...)
There isn't much we can tell you. It is a very weird problem.

To said you know that they're dl you just can't access till you reboot your phone right.? After downloading use a file explorer to try and move them to a different partition of your sd maybe it's just not.reading it properly.. I remember having this problem with the app stor. It just went away in its own tho..

No, it won't start the download till I reboot.
Just flashed vigor360 and I can confirm that my download is working.
Refreshed and now download works...weird...
this rom is awesome
I was coming on to tell you how great this Rom is. A couple bugs that I won't go into detail for but I am able to download perfectly and I didnt know if telling you that I am currently unlocked but "s-on" would help. Don't know that much about rooting but it's working fine for me. This is by far the best Rom I've flashed.
Hello all, I am looking for a little advice. I'll give as much backstory as possible:
I used the cyanogenmod one click installer, everything went well. Since the one click installer put twrp on I went and put clockworkmod on since im more familure with it. Everything fine restarted and phone worked however after I installed (attempted to install facebook messeger) the device rebooted and would not come back on. Sat for 5 mins vibrating over and over and over. Its not completely dead I am able to get to recovery and to download mode and believe I just had a bad download/install. Since i have Clockworkmod on here, I am thinking I could just install the most up to date stable rom available but I have a question:
How do I put the rom zip files on phone if phone wont come on.
Any advice towards this would be appreciated.
First off, where did you find a cyanogenmod one click installer? Possibly that was not meant for the I717.
Don't you have an external micro sd card? Place the card in your computer and copy the ROM zip to it. Put it back in your phone and use it to flash.

Sure thank you for the reply, from beta . download . cyanogenmod . org /install apparently it detects your phones version and does everything for you really, no option to pick your model/version # it auto detects. sorry for spaces it wouldnt let me post link complete.
And I did not know I could put the zips on external SD I had though only internal SD is option for where to put roms

There are ways to switch the download trajectory to my SD card but it still will not work. For whatever reason I can't create a file, move files or do anything with my card. I have tried over ten things and I got it to work one time but I forgot how and I've flashed a lot since then so I was hoping someone might have an effective method we could all benefit from. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

Yes download this app called Folder Mount. Run app. Grant super user rights. It will patch your system. Then reboot and you should be all good. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount
