If you were able to flash a different hboot, then its possible that the 1.58 file is corrupted or just a bad download. Try redownloading the file and try again.

Out of curiosity, how did you know he had an extra ".zip" on the file? You must have seen that before, but was wondering how you knew it applied here.

Spooky Halloween voodoo.
In all seriousness, that is usually my first response also to unreadable hboot files since hiding extensions in Windows gives the double extension.
Although he said it so confidently that I'm leaning toward voodoo.

Ok so I have been following unknownforces downgrade thread for a while already but ran into a problem. My EVO is brand new never been unlocked (atleast as far as I know) it says locked on the bootloader and s-on. When I took the 2.17 zip and put it on my SD card and rebooted to bootloader nothing happened I mean it did read it and check it but it did not ask me to upgrade. So my question is why didn't it ask me to upgrade and should I try and flash the 2.08 ruu EXE and start from scratch then see if it will ask to upgrade the pg86img

Did you rename the whole zip to PG86IMG.zip or did you take out the system image and rename that?
And if your on 2.17 base, you can't take a 2.08 ruu without changing your main version.

I had the same problem..it would not detect the PG86IMG.zip for nothing.. i tried like 20 something times..renamed with Pc/Astro file explorer/Root Explorer nothing would give. I even redownloaded it with Pc and my E3D and still a no go..BUT.... I finally got it to detect it. Cant remember what i did but the last thing i remember doing was a battery pull and did the Power/+ Volume to boot Into Bootloader and it worked..but still not sure if that solved it or not..
Evo 3D ViperROM v.2.5 downgraded HBoot 1.5 to 1.4
solution?
Hey guys,
i'm having the same problem.
I'm on hboot 1.53.0007 unlocked with htcdev and S-Off.
With hboot unlocked and also with re-locked the phone doesn't install the PG86IMG.zip file.
I saved the file definitively on the root of the sd-card and also it's name is correct.
I'd appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks for reading and replying.

The only suggestion that I thought of is to make sure the file doesn't have a double extension like PG86IMG.zip.zip. If file extensions are hidden in Windows, it will look correct but not be.

I need help. Normally I never ask questions I perfer to scan the forum looking for answers but this is my first question.
So we all know by now there is a leaked ICS Rom for the HTC Amaze. Well I downloaded the RUU put it at the root of the external SD and loaded it in hboot. Hboot starts the normal routine of looking for images to flash and dismissing all the missing ones. When it comes to PH85IMG it will stop the sidebar will take a minute to slowly load to full and the following result would say:
Loading...[PH85IMG.zip]
Wrong zipped image!
then it will finish the routine and essentually dismiss. After that all I can do is return to normal use
Phone info:
T-mobile HTC Amaze 4G rooted S-ON
Android 2.3.7/ Sense 3.5
Faux's v009 Kernal

I think the only way for someone S-on to install this update is to return the phone back to stock. you have to revert your bootloader back to locked and make the phone stock again.
In that case I guess it's about time to reach S-OFF. To those reading I'll give the result.

I just went through the whole s-off procedure and was able to flash the image after that. I didn't revert back to stock. I guess that was my problem too, but everything is working fine with ICS so far.
I relocked the bootloader and was able to get ICS.
kinda sad though im about to root it just to get rid of the bloat apps . Umm I hope others can use this as guide.
Please help!!! cannot flash ics rue
Hey! I have a similar problem. I have relocked the boot loader, NO root, S-ON... basically the only thing I did was unlocking and relocking the bootloader.
I copied the zip file in the ext-sd folder. In Hboot mode it scans the sdcard but a "NO image or wrong zip image" appears... So I reboot normally....
Now a strange thing happens and the zip file i copied onto the sdcard is 0Kb!!!! I tried several times... can sameone help me?
BTW I have a external sd card intalled (actually is one form another phone formatted as fat 32) + the internal memory.
thanks!

Make sure the zip you have is good and make sure the SD card is good. strange that you place a 487mb file and it changes to 0kb on its own. try formatting the
SD and try again or try using a different one.
I would re-copy the zip to your sd card again.

Hey guys i been on MIUI for about a week or so and i wanted to flash off onto a sense rom but when i tried to flash 2 different roms it wouldn't get past boot animation so i thought i needed to upgrade my firmware but iv'e never done that before. So i found this thread by Virus http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1808150 and added the pg86img to my sd card and let it runs it's process and i rebooted and my phone still won't get past boot animation. Now i can't get to my sd card and remove the file so i'm prett much stuck here. Any ideas?
Are you s-on or s-off? To remove the file, I usually take my sd card out and remove it in a computer.

If your hboot is 1.58, it will say Locked, but still s-off, so you should be fine. Unless you are trying to flash a rom that uses the newest HTC stock kernel, I recommend you downgrade your hboot to an earlier one (like 1.4). This will allow you to flash aosp and gb roms that will bootloop on the 1.58 hbbot.

All the files not being found with different extensions is normal
It always searches for all of these files every time you load the bootloader, and unless you put a pg86.img on your sd card,than it's okay that it's not there.
If a ruu doesn't help, then I don't know, Does the RUU give an error??
If so what does the error say.

first off what hboot are you using AND what RUU are you using....if you have hboot 1.58 and are trying to use RUU 2.17 then it will bootloop like that....if you have hboot 1.58 say so and we can direct you to the correct RUU to use bc 2.17 is totally wrong

You put your phone in fastboot usb, Google it. And double click the ruu on your pc, It's a program its self with an explanitory UI, That is all.

to use tis file you have to take your phone and go into your hboot and select fastboot
next plug your phone up to the computer via the usb cable
the ruu i gave you the link for double click that on the computer and let it run .....this iis something that must be done on a windows computer not a linux
the difference is that one is a zip file and it contains the gingerbread version of android which functions mainly with hboot 1.4,1.5 or 1.04 eng
the zip file can be installed by renaming it to pg86img.zip and going to hboot
the file you are supposed to down load contains the file for ice cream sandwhich which runs on hboot 1.58.... so since youre s-on you have to use this file and run it then you can go about customizing it

That's an interesting way to bump a thread.
If you successfully flashed the RUU and the phone won't boot you probably need to get it replaced.

He said he flashed the RUU successfully and the phone still wouldn't boot. I have no way to confirm that's true but if it is I don't think flashing anything else is going to help him at this point and he should at least get someone at Sprint to look at the phone since presumably it's been reset back to stock.

it doesn't find it in bootloader. File name is pg86img.zip and it is in .root in sd card but it doesn't find it.
if by .root you mean a folder named root, then it wont be recognized. It needs to NOT be in any folder. just place it outside and try. And try to keep the name exactly this: PG86IMG.zip capitalization is important sometimes

Maybe it's a corrupted download. Try downloading it again. Also make sure the problem isnt your sdcard. Try using another sdcard if possible
