Hello Devs!
Wednesday i bought some new things - an Evo 3D included. I bought it used. It already was S-OFF with Hboot 1.49.1107 and the new ICS Firmware. ROM was the Virtuous Inquisition, i think. And there was already a SplashScreen on the Phone. Saturday i wanted to try a new ROM. Now I'm using Anryls ICS ROM 4.0.3 rooted (b30 Version). So the old SplashScreen doesnt fit in with the new ROM, i tried to flash a new Splashscreen. I downloaded one from this Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502748, renamed the file to PG86IMG.zip and moved it to my SD Card Root Folder. Then I turnt the Phone off, started into the Bootloader and ... Nothing. My Bootloader scans everytime i start it the SD Card but can't find any files... Can someone help me or did anybody had the same Fail ?
Thanks for Help !

you say youve tried everything but on your OP youve said nothing about manually flashing your splash screen through fastboot...have you tried that?

Don't make a folder called root on the sd card. When you see the sd, just put the file there.
Also could try renaming to PG86DIAG or whatever else it looks for when flashing in hboot.
Make sure you don't have it named PG86img.zip.zip or similiar, if its already zipped, just rename the file to PG86IMG
i put it on the SD card without a folder, i tried an empty SD Card ... everything
How to flash with Fastboot ? Can I brick my Phone with flashing the SplashScreen ?
If I would rename it to PG86DIAG, it would flash my SS into the right directory?
I tried everything with the filename, but my bootloader won't find anything on the SD
Should I try another SD Card ?
edit: ok i think its a problem with my SD Card. I'll try another one when I'm @home
I renamed the SS into PG86DIAG.zip and my bootloader finds nothing, I can do what I want

adb:
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
Check the splash file format, might be splash1.bmp or other format.
Some sd cards are picky sometimes.

Try renaming it to PG86DIAG with no .zip
I know it sounds silly but it will work.

no, didn't work ^^
I'll try it @home with another SD Card or later with the SD Card from a friend ^^
When i'm flashin with Fastboot, then i have to put out the files in the .zip and flash only the IMG ?

When you pull out the splash.IMG, put it in your adb folder, then flash, while in bootloader.
Make sure if you choose reboot to bootloader, you select the blue bootloader text using the power button in hboot. It should read fastboot USB
Other then that, I'm out of ideas.
simplest solution ever: Change the SD Cards. Tried it yesterday evening with a 2GB SanDisk and it worked .. Sticky SD Cards
Thank yall for help

I can not load into hboot, when I do, it reads the sd card and then asks me if I want to update. ph98img is on my sd card and if I am not mistaking that is whats causing the update? What do I do to be able to boot into hboot? Can I just change the name of that file, or do I even need that file? I am not running ics, have cwm recovery, and ziggys kernel running at 1.86.
Any info is greatly appreciated (I am not tech savvy at all)
Thanks

I ran into this as well a week or so ago. I pulled my sd card out and put it into my Incredible and deleted the ph98img file. I then put the sd back into my Rezound and then you can once again boot into hboot.

This.
Also, if you don't have another device to put the device in, you can just take the sdcard, put what you were gonna flash on internal storage, then flash that way. Once your phone is functional you can then put the sdcard in and delete the file.
Or... You could just "adb reboot recovery" and turn on mount SD Card.

Thanks for the answers. I just deleted it off my sd card, will it change how things are running or hurt something, I saved it to my desktop in case I fouled something up. It will now let me into hboot though.

You don't need it on the sdcard at all after it updates. It's fine to keep it off. It won't mess anything up.
EDIT: Make sure you hit the thanks button on the posts above you for helping!! I don't need the thanks for this little post, but it's good to show those guys that you appreciate the help!
ok im new to this and i have done some looking but still need some basic info ,,

any help would be great ? and when i get into this more i will be glad to send funds to developers via paypal ex
a link for dummies would work as well
thanks
CWM is super easy to use......go the OP of the CWM beta1 thread and he elxplains the ins and outs of getting into CWM. once your in it....all you have to do is have the file at the root of the SD card and go to install zip/install zip of SD/ then choose the zip and flash.
i do not have the beta on my phone yet, but i would just check the OP he seems to have laid it out pretty well.
You dont even need to have the file anywhere special on your SD card either. Just somewhere where you can find it because once you select install zip from sd card you have to navigate where you put it.

If you didn't put a microSD card in your phone for extra storage it won't have a "external SD" folder.
I do have a 16g sd , it has the. Ext sd card fie but was not there

Ok well open up the "my files" app and scroll down to see if a "external_sd" folder exists. If it isn't there then go to settings -> storage, and make sure the SD card is mounted.
If you download a Rom directly from your note it should be in a folder called "download"

Well "my files" shows the sd card, and the settings only shows unmount option for safe removel, so I'm sure its mounted

Not sure if I should have created a new thread for this but here goes. I flashed CWR through Odin yet when I go into recovery it's still stock recovery?
Did I do something wrong, I got success in Odin?
EDIT: I figured it out, my bad.
Ok, I got my refurb phone, unlocked and now I am trying to unstall amon ra. I put it on the root of my sd card, get into Hboot, the green writing scrolls up, and thats it. There is no option to update it.
I thought maybe I should try again, I can't delete the PH file from my sd card....there is no option. odd.
Do I out the .zip after PH98IMG? or leave it without .zip? Maybe thats my problem. But right now, I can't even get the file off the sd card to try again.
Any help would be great!
Thanks
EDIT.....Im an idiot! I was using a card adapter and the lock was on!
EDIT 2.....PH98IMG worked fine

good to see you got it sorted out. please put any questions you have in the q&a thread to keep General clean. thanks!
Would it be possible to upgrade a stock ROM with an official update.zip when one receives it? If so please post it.
I don't think so. You'd have to have root to put the file in the proper place in your filesystem. I don't think it would flash from the SD card without doing the rigmarole we've been doing anyway.

As long as the file is signed by Motorola, wouldn't it be as simple as putting it on your sd card, booting into stock recovery, and picking that file or naming it properly so it is picked up automatically? Isn't that what an OTA update does?
Again, I could be wrong, but I don't think OTAs are downloaded to the SD-card. I think they're put in /preinstall in the phone's internal memory.
Nah.. i went to official. 181 but putting zip on sd card ..

If you want it to be recognized as an official update (to be installed by the actual bootloader) you have to just drop it as "update.zip" in the correct place and it'll install fine. The problem is you have to be rooted to place it *into* that place.
But that's not a problem
if i get it.
i'll see what i can do
My phone is downloading the update. How to extract it out?
Ahh, should have explained. I am rooted, but everything is stock besides SU and Wireless Tether. :good:
Ok so I followed the instructions on Dirty Racun's tutorial to S-OFF my HBOOT 1.15 4gLTE, and it worked just about perfectly.. The only issue I had was something about a QHSUSB_DLOAD or something like that, but on the IRC chat the person helping me said that didn't matter, and as long as my bootloader said "*DIRTY RACUN* S-OFF HBOOT 1.15" that I was fine.. Well I had to fastboot TWRP because it wouldn't flash as a PJ75IMG.zip through bootloader, and since than I've tried a few other PJ75IMG.zip's and none of them are recognized in Bootloader either.. I asked for help in Dirty Racun's forum but I was told that they only assist us up until S-OFF and that anything after that was not in their venue.. I was thinking maybe this was a bad S-OFF, but not sure if I can redownload my S-OFF tools and try again, or what...!?
- yes the files syntax is correct
- yes I've placed them on /root of phone
- yes I've tried redownloading the zip's and flashing again
and no, none of that has worked...
Thanks in advance..
make sure its named properly
It does not go on root of phone but needs to go on root of external sd card

Do you have a SD card in your phone? I couldn't flash any PJ75IMG.zips on my phone until I threw one in. Now they flash with no problems.

I have tried everything cyntax, root of SD card, redownload zip file. But nothing works. One thing I found funny was that the external SD card folder in the TWRP recovery mounts is different than that of the external SD card when viewing it from the phone on diskdrive and mediashare. WTF I have tried all the roots of the external SD card in both of these programs and have reformatted my card to FAT32 still nothing will recognize in bootloader. PLEASE HELP ME

Yes it is the .zip file..... still doesnt work. Maybe I am putting it in the wrong on my external SD card or something. I am using medishare and putting the PJ75IMG.zip file into the "card" no the "phone" file. Is this correct Then when I view the ext_SD from TEWRP recovery it is not there so I reboot the phone and look back in the "card" file and it is there I feel like I tried every folder possible

It should go on your removeable SD card. It's not included when you buy the phone. So you will need to purchase or already have a micro sd card It's located under the back cover at the top. Instead of media share try disk drive

Mount the phone to computer as disk drive use file explorer and copy your file to x:\ where x is whatever drive letter the computer assigned to your external card. It can't be in a folder or the phone won't see it.

Sometimes the seperate sd card is labeled 'ext_sd'...
Sometimes the seperate sd card is labeled 'sdcard2'...
You have to be careful which identifier is used when trying to access the seperate sd card.
