like the title says. should be a zip file located in /cache. hopefully someone will see this thread before it gets buried under all the "ota update problem" threads.
EDIT: ok, so i had a chance to download and take a look at the file. this is something that needs to be flashed in stock recovery. if you are already on an ICS leak, this will not work. if you are on GINGERBREAD WITH STOCK RECOVERY, LOCKED AND UNROOTED, you should be able to go into hboot>recovery and flash this. i cannot test it tho, since im already on the .3 leak

Quick stupid question, if it'll work I'll do it and pull the file, I'm on ARHD, if I relock my bootloader and flash the stock RUU, I'm S-off, I know I'll be able to re-unlock my bootloader, but will I be able to remain s-off if I flash the stock RUU? If yes, I'll flash back to stock and pull the update file.

yes if you have ENG hboot your good to flash
Never mind delete
I have SHIP Hboot, but I'll flash the ENG Hboot then downgrade. Give me a few to get things done.
Flashing stock at the moment, don't see a need to re-lock my bootloader since others have reported being able to download and update without doing so, I just need the file, so the minute it finishes flashing I'll be checking for/downloading the update file, upload as soon as I have it.
Booting up now, min it's finished, I'll be downloading the file, just a few more
Downloading the update now.
I flashed back to stock an hr ago just to get the file as requested but it's seems like it ain't happening yet. I just cannot get the OTA to prompt for updates. Maybe it depends on the area or something.
sigh... sitting hear with GingerBread. Frankly, it ain't too bad. lol
I said it in a different thread, but I never rooted my phone, so I got the OTA update problem free.
Does my phone have to be rooted in order to pull the file you're talking about?

Nope. Just use any file explorer to go to /cache and see if you see a zip file or another folder with a zip inside it. If you've already updated and rebooted, its prolly gone

It shouldnt mess with s-off, but you'll have to reflash the eng hboot. What is the file size and checksum? It should be the same as the .3 leak

Good evening. I am new to HTC phones (and unlocked phones in general). I am having trouble flashing a kernel using a PH98IMG.zip file. When it goes in the bootloader I get an error that says "Main Version Older Update Failed." I am able to flash a boot.img via Fastboot, but I am receiving wifi errors. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

What kernel are you trying to flash?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
How weird that someone else would post the same issue I'm having, when I've flashed several kernels in the past few days with no problems.
At some point, I've flashed every Sense-based kernel in the Rezound dev section. And now, for some strange reason, I'm getting the error described above.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
The Beeb

Try flashing the kernel in fastboot.
I am having the same issue now also after I flash the BAMF's latest ROM. Their update log says they updated to the new base, and after that I can't to flash anything in hboot anymore. I can still ADB push the boot.img but no flashing. I also tried to revert to complete stock by flashing the RUU and get the same thing. It's says my system is newer and won't flash.

Sorry, yes, I can do that.
That's the only way that I can push a boot.img now. I know the kernel devs have a way to flash their kernel in recovery then automatically push you into hboot to flash the PH98IMG.zip file with the boot.img inside it. Flashing anything in fastboot now results in the error message above except for the BAMF ROM.
Having the same problem after updating to bamf cubed 102.
My main version sig updated when I flashed the leaked kernel. fastboot should always work, and would have saved me from the dumb mistake had i flashed in fastboot to begin with.
But my guess is that somehow u flashed a PH98IMG.zip file that was the leaked kernel.
I'm not sure how to find out what version the sig thinks it is running but since I know what the leak was, I can edit the .txt file in the PH98IMG.zip and make it work, like said in the thread.
Well this sucks! It definitely started when I flashed the new bamf cubed rom. So does this mean I can never flash a boot.img unless I do it with fastboot and a pc? So I cant just put the file on my sdcard and reboot into fastboot? Can this be fixed? Thanks!!!!

The same issue also started for me when I flashed BAMF Cubed. Looks like dsb mention on the BAMF Cubed Rom thread that with S-On we can't easily change the base that was changed this with update. Looks like we will be using Fastboot until more developers use the newer version. Glad to know its not something I managed to screw up lol.

Thanks a lot for all of the help everyone.
You might be able to replace the android-info.txt in the PH98IMG.zip with the one from dsb's kernel, making the hboot think you're not flashing backwards. Not positive if that works though.

**** someone needs to tell dsb or whoever to put it back to the old version. If your mainver gets updated, you can't run RUUs. So you could be stuck with a brick until we get the official ICS RUU

my main sig updated, and it is far from a brick..
Infact it's not a very big deal at all, it's something that should be avoided by all costs I absolutely 100% agree with that.
but the phone will still be able to use RUU's, the update will be ICS anyway..
This is confirmed by jcase.
I completely agree with stopping this from happening to anyone else. But no need to scare them by saying your phone is a brick because the sig updated.
How exactly do you consider the phone to be a brick anyway? JW, not trying to be an a-hole by any means here.
the only problem is the need to change the PB98IMG.zip .txt file and cant use an RUU until we get an OTA, ICS will be the next OTA update anyway.

do you use Stock ROM?
also, can't you just pull the rom.zip from ruu then rename to PB98IMG.zip and replace the.txt?

Agreed that it's FAR from bricked, but it's just more of an annoyance. You can't use the easy flash script that all the kernel devs and ROM devs are using now. You have to manually update the .txt file yourself inoder to be able to flash it. (Or adb push it from a computer)
And yes you are correct about the RUU, you can probably just replace the txt file in it with the moded version (I didn't think of trying that even though I am doing that will the kernels that I have download from here).
I was only trying to RUU to see if it would undo what was done... just for ease of use for me. I like to browse these forums from tapatalk and download a new kernel when it's released (hasn't been for a while, come on devs ) and test it out. I can't do that now without a computer. So I was just trying to undo that is all.
Hey there,
So I rooted and rommed an Amaze 4g for a friend of mine like 6 months ago, the phone is only unlocked but not S-OFF.
He just wants to go back to stock & frankly im tired of the lifetime tech support - so its a win win.
I put him on GB Android revolution, i believe that's a stock rom with a few tweaks.
Can I just update the phone to the Latest TRUE ICS and be done with it?
I could care less if it relocks the phone & unroots it. I just wanna be done with it.
Thanks in advance.

Na, you'll have to flash back to stock GB, just download one of the stock GB RUU'S and flash it via the bootloader, do the ics update from android via ota.
OK I just downloaded the stock gb ruu. You mean flash it in cwm or rename the zip and do an update.zip?

Rename the file PH85IMG and place it on your sd card, not in any folders, just on the sd, reboot into your bootloader (should know how to get this), the hboot will auto detect the file, when it's done scanning it, just hit volume up to flash it, give it a few, it's gonna install and auto reboot.

Thanks for your response. However after HBOOT loads everything, it just goes back to the little androids on skateboards and doesn't ask to update.
What to do?
Relock bootloader and try again.

So I was one of the lucky few who actually got their phone rooted before the HTC/Verizon lockdown and now that the OTA update is available it goes straight to recovery. Judging by my initial research I am going to have to re-flash the stock recovery image and then get the update and use whatever the new method is to root?
I would assume I could just wait till we get some custom roms now that it looks like progress is being made for temp root. However that may pose a problem for me if I want to wake up in the morning (as the phone reboots) and go to my job haha.
I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769622 but I don't understand why it's an exe file... shouldn't it be a zip so I can drop it on the SD card?

That is an RUU, Rom Upgrade Utility, and it is an executable because your phone has to be connected to the computer with the proper drivers installed to be able to run it. It writes everything to the phone as it was when the phone came out, including HBOOT and recovery. Since you have unlocked, you could run that RUU and be completely stock on the same version as when the phone came out, and still unlock again since the MID has already been used on HTCDev. However, that file isn't the new update, and I don't know where you could get the new RUU without paying for it currently. Even so, if you were to use the RUU, it changes the HBOOT version, so you may not be able to unlock again.
In the past, I have seen people claim to be able to install an OTA on their current ROM by pulling the update file from /cache and flashing it in recovery, but I don't know if that will work for our phone or not.
I haven't seen anyone post the zip with the upgrade in it yet, so if you haven't received the OTA notification, it won't be in your /cache folder.
Try Voodoo OTA rootkeeper in the marketplace. And it restored my root after the OTA. To use OTA rootkeeper, you need to run it once for applying the OTA. There are some youtube videos to help you further.
The best way to install (IMO) the RUU is by pulling the rom.zip from the RUU and then running the RUU in boot-loader.
That's what I did for the two phones we tested S-OFF successfully on.
To pull the rom.zip from the RUU refer to this tutorial.

Yeah, if I could get that I suppose I could just flash it and not worry.
I'll try some of the above methods tomorrow when I have time I suppose and let you know or it looks like it will let me keep deferring it so I could just do that until we get ROMs or a free version of the above build.
I'll try and upload it, most sites wont let u because of the size..

It formatted I wiped caches, fixed permissions and get back to home screen after it was all done, and my apps were all still installed and settings were exactly the same and everything. (I had the feeling I'm already on stock and that's why its not working), the whole reason I was trying to get to stock is because in order to s-off juopunutbear's tutorial, where it didn't work the troubleshooting said problem is im not stock, or! i have certain programs installed. But I just reformatted and just installed the basics, so I have nothing that would interfere as far as I know.

You just need a Telus ICS stock RUU, not gb RUU. Rename the zip rom to ph85img, not the exe file, put to your sd, relock and boot the bootloader. It will scan and ask you to update, just say yes.
you're done.

I haven't checked for the Telus one. I've the Videotron ICS RUU, but it's won't help unless you're cid free. For the .exe, you have to get the rom, not rename the .exe to .zip. Just search in your temp (%temp%), when you activate the RUU you'll see some new folders. Look for it, rename and you're done.
Maybe someone else could post a direct link.
Maybe you can directly try with the OTA to get back. boot into stock recovery, if you have the red triangle error, hold volume up and press the power button, should give you a menu, then install update from external, select the OTA RUU and install.
Try that, maybe it will solve your prob.

Hmm I found the rom.zip but I can't do anything with it, just says its invalid.
where do you get the invalid message? I've extracted the rom.zip after starting the exe file, and renamed it and it worked no problem before. If I get a hold of my backup phone I'll see if I can load up a stock rom and do a backup, zip it and put it on dropbox for you. That won't be til tomorrow though, and at least that way you'll have the stock rom, one way or another

When I try to open it, I tried just renaming copying it to SD, it ran...but then said failed..older hboot....I believe. How would I be able to tell if I was on a stock ruu...I have a feeling I'm already stock...and that's why nothing is working...and my juopunutbear problem lies elsewhere.
did you try to flash with a stock recovery? You need a stock recovery to get the ruu to install. Did you change your hboot?

ya im pretty much stuck cant get back to stock because my bootloader version is newer
I have a rooted Rezound running the OTA ICS. I also have Amon Ra recovery. The newest Firmware update keeps downloading. Once it does the phone shuts off and goes straight to Amon Ra which does not install new firmware. So I reboot the phone and the download process starts all over again. Is there any way to get this new firmware with having to factory reset? Thanks in advance!

If you want the OTA to go you need to flash stock recovery.

Thanks. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. Do you know of anyway of getting rid of the update? I would rather not have the update than flash back to stock. But my phone shutting off every few hours is pretty annoying. Thanks again.

Remove otacerts... Don't remember the exact location and I'm on my phone, a search on that should turn it up.

I cant seem to find the otacert on my htc resound. I have tried every way to update the new radios and nothing works. I have tried everything but a hard reset and relocking the bootloader. I would rather shut the stupid auto update off. My phone resets at 12:30 am and again at 4am. considering I need the alarm clock on my phone it renders it useless. Any help is appreciated. I am Rooted running stock OTA ICS with Amon Ra.

In confused why don't you just flash stock recovery and let the OTA go? Problem solved. Oh you'd have to relock also.

Are you going to settings> software update> check new?
From 605.12 you should get a small OTA first then the big one after that one is done. I just did same procedure in the last week on my wife's phone.
Btw might want to be on WiFi if you aren't already for the download.
Having the same issue here as OP and been searching forums for days looking for help...
First, I'm on 605.13 already, stock ROM, rooted with Amon ra. I realize the steps I need to take but can't find any specifics.
Could someone please spell out the specifics of how to flash the stock recovery, and if I can use the 605.12 RUU to do this being on .13 already. I keep seeing others posting about just renaming a file to recovery.img and pushing using fastboot, but I'm not sure how to obtain the correct file.
Do you relock bootloader first or flash stock recovery first and the relock? BTW I'm s-on stil. Thanks in advance

For some apparent reason the 605.13 update downloaded this afternoon and the 605.14 updated. Its all set after a frustrating 2 weeks of digital torture. thanks to all that helped. I had to scour all these resources and forums to get this done but this is what worked for me. I relocked the bootloader then I used the 605.12 RRU.exe program. After about a day I checked for the updates and they downloaded and installed successfully.
Xander, since you just got this working, can you please confirm the process - I'm about to do this myself and want to verify the steps...
1) Reboot into hboot > fastboot and relock bootloader via fastboot oem lock
2) download 3.14.605.12 RUU.exe (I'm currently on 3.14.605.13)
3) Reboot phone into hboot > fastboot usb
4) run RUU.exe from PC
Is that it? Anything I'm missing here or am I on the right path?

U have step 1 and step 2 correct. Step 3 would be to connect the phone to the computer and run the 605.12 ruu.exe tool. After that u are now back to a stock phone. After the initial setup of adding your gmail account and contacts you can now go into system settings and check for update. As I stated before my phone would not download the update for some odd reason. I tried it a couple more times without success. Today on a whim I went to check for the update again and it started to download. After the small 6mb file was complete the next update for 605.14 downloaded without anny issues. Make sure you delete any zip files off your external SD card labeled ph98img.zip if u tried that method.
Step1 relock boot loader
Step2 run 3.14.605.12 ruu.exe
Step3 check for updates
Step4 unlock phone if you want to
I hope this helps anyone. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.. Got it! And I got both the 13 and 14 updates almost immediately afterwards. I appreciate the confirmation about the process...
