Can't watch the video (set to private), but you probably have a PH98IMG.zip on the root of your external sd card that needs to be removed.

This. Either boot up the phone and delete the PH98IMG.zip off of your SD card using Astro or your file manager of choice or pop the SD card in your computer and delete it that way.

I was playing around changing prl's and on my last reboot my phone stopped reading my sd card. I've did nandroid backups, pulled battery and took out and re-installed the sd card. Nothing. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do?

I don't think it's my card because I can still flash roms that are stored on my sd card.

I am using twrp recovery. My phone won't go into disk drive when I plug it into my pc, but if I go into recovery and toggle sd card, my pc can read the files on my sd card.
I could sure use a little help. Or at least a push in the right direction.

That is a strange issue. If it were me, this is what I would try:
Use a card reader connected to your PC and copy all of the files over to your PC. Make sure you have your folder view set up to see hidden files.
Next, format the SD card. (you can use this free program "SD Formatter" https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/) or just use your normal formatting process.
After the card is formatted put it back in the phone and see if it can read the card. If it can, then copy the files you backed up on your PC back to the card.
If it can still read the card after putting everything back on, you're golden. If it can't, then there is some app or file on the card causing the problem.
Good luck and let us know what you find.
thanks for the advice mvansomeren. worked like a charm. i have no idea what happened. i changed a prl file rebooted, was too slow so i did the ##775# and i saw that i couldn't find my old prl file. i went to check for the file and couldn't find my astro. lol. then i noticed that the phone wasn't reading the card. well, if it happens again i'll know what to do. thanks again.

Thanks for letting us know how it worked out. I'm discovering that the SD card is the root of a lot of strange issues. I'm not sure if data is getting corrupted somehow or the quality of the cards is questionable but now, whenever I have a weird issue with the phone, the first thing I do is pull out the SD card and see how the phone behaves without it. If the phone returns to normal, I know its something to do with the SD card.

+1. It's happened to me several times. Also a good idea to back up the sd card often. Saved me many times.

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 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.
Looks like thicklizard beat me too it

Bada bing..! This worked..!! In my external_sd folder there was only one folder called "Android" so I didn't think it went in there since there was only that one folder, but that sure did the trick..!! Thank you..!!

I am having the same problem, I had a good S-Off flash 100% no errors and am now stuck with the inability to flash PJ75.IMG.zip when trying to update my radios ect. 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.

Hello, all. I tried flashing Sun's new ROM, which wouldn't work while I was on TWRP Recovery. So I thought "Let's flash Amon Ra;" well, that's what I did. I use Hansoon's kit to flash Amon Ra and when I tried flashing on Amon RA it wouldn't work. So I ended up making a PH98IMG of TWRP and putting it on my SD card so I could get back TWRP since all of my backups are under TWRP. Well, now I cannot boot into recovery because of the PH98IMG on my SD card. I can't reboot my phone because I wiped system, date, etc. There's no ROM on my phone. Any ideas how I can delete that PH98IMG.zip off my phone? This is horrible.
Take out the sd card and use a card reader to delete the file via your computer.

Where do I obtain a card reader?
Or you can pull your SD card part of the way out, then boot into recovery via power + vol down (you will be able to get into Recovery since it won't see the SD card). Once in recovery, carefully pull the battery out just far enough to get your finger under it, making sure that the battery contacts maintain firm contact, and push in the SD card. You may have to mount / remount the card in TWRP, but it should then see all your backups. If the battery loses contact, you can just start over (partly pull out SD, boot into TWRP, push in SD) - there is no risk of bricking or anything from pulling the battery while in recovery.
Or you can go into any electronics store - Best Buy, Radioshack, Staples, etc. (whatever you have in your area), or even Wal-Mart, and get an SD card reader.

What Max725 said, works like a charm, no card reader needed.
Not that it hurts to have one handy, just something to do when you're in a jam and don't have one.
Hey guys, i downloaded a movie onto my sd card and i can't get it off. I've tried to delete it it from the phone and also by inserting it into the computer. It says deleted but when i put my sd card into the phone the file comes back. What's going on with this?
Are you sure that the file aren't created automatically by the phone (or an app) ?

your right, the app i downloaded it from keeps trying to download it after i delete it. DUH ...let me see if it stays gone now. Thanks for the help man. Thank you very much.
Nope that didn't work either, it says it's deleted, but when i pop my sd card out then put it back in the file pops back up. I also deleted it from the app that downloaded it.
Maybe the SD Card is dead now?
What type of movie is it?
