Hi.
I'm very new to the concept of hboot/rooting/etc. I'm trying to figure how to stop hboot from checking for new zip files on the sdcard, all it does it go through each possible zip file for the model of phone, and it then hangs when it gets after "nv.zip", which prevents me from going directly into the recovery.
The phone is a TMobile G2 (also called the HTC Desire Z), rooted, and uses CyanogenMod11 (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-desire-z/development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-0-nightlies-t2854386 (thanks to them for continuing the builds for my device )). Using HBOOT-0.76.2000 and is S-OFF.

You just have to remove any update zips from the SD card. The phone is made to check for that every time and you can't change this behavior, nor should you as you might need that function at some time to go back to stock or repair the phone.

Does it look for _any_ zip within the top level directory of the sdcard? So if I remove all zips from the top level will it work?

It doesn't matter if you have zips there or not, it will scan the card for them. You just need to make sure nothing with the official RUU zip name can be there on the root of the card (PC10IMG.zip for the HTC Vision / G2 / Desire Z) and it will not try to load anything after scanning.

Have an HTC Thunderbolt that I am trying to get up and running but I am unable to pick up any signal. No 3g, 4g or anything. I have tried to flash different radios (via bootloader) but the phone doesn't recognize the file( with the correct name). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I am rooted. At the moment I am running ThunderStick GENII v2.2.0. The file name I am trying to flash is PG05IMG.zip. Originally it was (MR2)PG05IMG. Trying to flash it via the bootloader by placing it on my sd card.
Are you sure it didn't get named .zip.zip? If you d/l it from a windows computer that is set to not show file extensions and then rename PG05IMG.zip it ends up as .zip.zip. Also be sure you didn't get a space in there before the .

If it was literally named (MR2)PG05IMG without the word zip after it, then you have file extensions hidden, which means you ended up actually renaming it to PG05IMG.zip.zip, because the first .zip was already there. If you dont know how to unhide file extensions, then just rename it to PG05IMG without .zip and see if bootloader takes it.
This is why I don't explain flashing radios involving ADB, downloads to a computer, or renaming things anywhere except on the device using a file manager of some sort in my q AND a thread. These files aren't huge. They EASILY download inside half a minute, then you move them, rename them, and flash away. No confusion with file names.
I have an S-OFF HTC Incredible S 4G running 2.3.3 trying to get it rooted, I am trying to keep up but so use to stupid iPhone modding/themeing so just lost on how to send or use my SD card for ROMS? Can I just use the old word (shsh) files over to my phone while its plugged in its the Fdisk and do I put the files into 'root', I have installed Superuser app/ROM Manager app onto my phone also have Gingerbreak.v.120apk on my desktop plus Superuser.apk am I lost or what and anyone willing to help but go easy on me?
Thanks, TheCrow
Do you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed?
I have ROM Manager installed off the Market but my question is probably the one that I'm can't get the answer for which is, how do I transfer things onto my SD card cuz I have played a lot with my old iPhone 4 with mods/themes and so on but never had to write to my SD card atleast I don't think I did thats why I ask if its as easy as dragging and dropping files over to my phone while its plugged into my computer as 'use as driver'? I can't even get the CWM to work properly because it says something about 'special privillages', I have S-OFF but just want to get rooted so I can move on to the fun . Do I need something set on my phone or installed to get going, I also put Superuser & Astro on my phone from the Market so can if you have the time just give me a few dumby steps to point me in the right direction and I am over at the Android Newzealand site which is awesome but they get most files from here and only one guy is trying to help

I am all about trying to get things done in the easiest way possible to help the people that are new to Android.
This method has worked for me but there is no guarentee that it will work for you and I am no way responsible for anything that happens to your device.
DO THE ROOTING PROCESS AT YOUR OWN RISK
Procedure to Root HTC Incredible S
1. Install the ADB on your computer, but before that you will have to turn on the USB debugging in your incredible S which can be turned ON by pressing the “Menu” key first then “Settings” > “Applications” > “Development”. Now here you will find an option of “USB debugging”, select the option and just accept the warning which it will pop up. It’s very important to put the device in the USB debugging and also important to go through the ADB setup process without which it’s not advised to proceed.
2. Now you will have to download the Rooting package which you will have to unzip the same and need to place in the location path c:\adb after which you will have to connect the phone to the computer.
3. Now, open the command prompt and key in the “cmd” and then you will have to make use of the change directory command so that the directory in which you have placed the rooting file can be accessed.
4. Next type in the “pushroot” and enter the same, basically this will push in the pushroot.bat file.
After this type in adb shell /data/local/tmp/getroot and after that type in adb shell and press enter.
After typing in the above commands, you will now be prompted as # after which you will have to type in /data/local/tmp/pushroot.
That’s it you have now successfully rooted the HTC Incredible S

Try reflashing CWM Recovery. Since you have S-OFF, it should work. If you get it to work, then flash (install zip from SD in CWM) the attached file and you should be rooted.

I appreciate the one above yours and kinda understand it but waaay too indepth maybe, I also tried yours but when I go to HBoot menu and Recovery to look for the .zip file it is no where and I plugged my device into computer and 'debugging Enabled' also set my connection as 'disk drive' to load the file to my SD card but still can't find it?? I can't believe it is this hard cuz I see many others rooted and flying away on their Incredible S 4G, I was able to get the Gingerbreak.v.1.20apk on my device but it just keeps loading and saying that it will reboot once successful but after 20-30mins I figured it was not going to work also I have ROM Manager installed already but as you know no Superuser previlliages yet so can't load CWM

Have you tried searching for the zip when your device is NOT connected to your pc? And just so you know, you do NOT need superuser privileges (root) to be able to use ClockworkMod especially since you already have S-OFF. Have you tried flashing a different version of ClockworkMod? You could try using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638 to flash it from your PC.

I'll try finding it without being plugged in to pc, I put Gingerbreak.v.1.20apk on my SD card no issues so I shouldn't have an issue putting the CWM on but do you have a newer version (sorry) also do you think one of my issues is that I have a CWM on my 'Astro' file finder but the files say they don't exist so should I delete it and start over with a newer one that you may have and should I take of ROM Manager until I finish putting these files in cuz it should not be this hard others are rooted on their Incredible S 4G 2.3.3.

Also when I go to my 'Programs' on my computer 'Uninstall' it shows the SDK Tools with an 'X' beside it like it did not fully install, I don't know if I really need the ADB & SDK tools but I'll keep trying that later but I want to try your methods as well cuz as I mentioned it should not be this hard to root my phone right but I have to go to Doctors so I will check in later and keep trying

You are not supposed to open the image. Download Android Flasher, connect your device to your pc, run Android Flasher, select recovery (at the side), find the image file you downloaded, select it, click ok (and again if necessary), and it'll do the rest.
Question, I drag and drop files over to my phone while plugged in to my SD card but everyone says to the root folder I just don't have a 'root' folder so one guy said to drop the files into the very first one and that is what I did with Gingerbreak.v1.20apk but it just says its rooting and will reboot device when done? After 3 attempts each at 15-25mins the wheel is still spinning so am I putting it in the right spot, Gingerbreak does show up in my apps drawer but the unzipped versions of CWM or Superuser never show up on my device even when I go to 'recovery' through Revolutionary to unzip it?

Did you read/understand my previous post?
Kinda but how does that have anything to do with rooting my Incredible S (sorry) its just that I'm new to HTC devices and I've been told that I have to be rooted to put ROM themes on my device and I have S-OFF, thats not enough is it? I tried the guy above yous method of ADB but my computer does not 'recognize that path', I did exactly what his video says but again is either of these methods going to get me 'rooted cuz all I want to do is start enjoying my phone plus your saying I don't have to have 'Superuser Permissions' to use CWM?? Sorry bro if I'm being difficult but I just want to be rooted already and have you heard of this angermod or what ever its called, like Gingerbreak or something?
HELP PLEASE lol, thanks
Forget about Gingerbreak. The tool (and instructions) is to flash the custom recovery (ClockworkMod) to your device. I said this before, and I'll say it again, using ClockworkMod recovery DOES NOT require root. You are going to root your device by using Clockwork to flash the file attached in post #5. After flashing that file, your device will be rooted.
When I go to extract it they ask for a gehroot password, I copied what looks like a password under my Incredible S/Vivo but that one did not work for the CWM download
I will try this tomorrow 4 sure and thanks for your patients, fill you in when I'm rooted (hopefully) Also is there a special password to download the CWM for my Incredible S/Vivo, sorry again?
One more question (sorry) the one I did download the other day was supposed to be CWM but it has all kinds of other files with it like 13 files including 'SuperOneClick' also suv1/v2/v3 plus 'busybox' but don't see cwm anywhere so anyway do I use the 'Android Flasher' and flash all of them like the whole folder or each one individually?
In the CWM image file, there are like 13 files that came with it like suv1/v2/v3 plus busybox and SuperOneClick so which or all of these files do I flash with Android Flasher?
So, I've used Revolutionary to S-off and root, but now there's a system update (I assume for the security vulnerability that was found a week or two ago). I'd like to install this update, but it just fails when I try... Does anyone know how to turn it into a flashable zip, or will I have to un-s-off/root, update, then re-s-off/root?
A hotfix for the vulnerability is not out yet - you tought HTC is that fast But if you can find it you can remove /system/app/HtcLoggers.apk from your rooted Flyer (with an app like File Expert that can mount partitions like /system).
Since you are still stock you might have been offered an incremental update, but I guess soon you will want to flash a custom ROM that already includes it anyway.

It appears there's a new update today, and it's only about 4.5 megs - I think HTC may actually be that fast
I really don't want to install a ROM, I just want stock with root (to help with development)... Any suggestions appreciated!
To answer my own question, I downloaded the OTA on the device, then I used adb to copy it to my computer (it's in /sdcard/downloads/). I edited the zip so that it wouldn't flash the recovery (there's a recovery.img in firmware.zip inside the OTA zip - remove it), copied it to the external SD card, then flashed it via ClockworkMod (it won't update via the HTC updater).
Something to make sure of, you MUST be running stock - it patches files rather than reinstalls them, so this will fail if there are any differences. This includes build.prop. You can make any changes you like after flashing of course.
Don't forget to backup before doing anything of course! Another warning, ClockworkMod fails silently if your SD card doesn't have enough room for the backup, so make sure you have plenty of space beforehand too!
Hope this helps someone.

Removing the recovery.img? I've rezipped everything and it's only 510kb now, surely that cant be it?
Recovery.img's are large files it was just a minor updat to probably fix a couple internal things nothing major. It was a small file at 4mb already.

Question for noob's - could they unlock bootloader, then unroot, and then install ROM Manager and then let it install Recovery?
XBoarder - This is fantastic. A perfect summary of all the great work you and those helping you have done since the amaze came out. I speak for most when I say that I am very happy to see you still here and continuing all the hard work you have already put into these forums. I hope you continue to do your thing despite the actions of any one person. We need people like you here badly!
I've been lurking since day 1 and you continue to impress. This excellent guide and your amazing 1.1 have brought me over. I was a bit worried about buying a phone that hadn't even been rooted yet (I got mine on the first day) - thanks for making it worth it!

What they don't tell you is that you have to rename fastboot-mac to fastboot and go into terminal and set the permissions for fastboot for YOU to have access to. I spent about 3 hours last night dealing with this issue and am not on my laptop to give you direct link to instructions but if you google "how to get fastboot to work on mac" you should be able to find instruction on how to "sudo" fastboot.

does a quick scan after hboot screen appears with no image listed under every heading if that helps
download it (dont even open it) just drag it on your sdcard put in phone reboot into hboot
Hello all, I have a Rooted, S-Off Sprint HTC Evo 4g LTE. I just updated the firmware to latest, then wiped the phones cache/dalvik cache/system/etc and tried installing 3.16.651.3 (latest afaik) which is stock/odexed/rooted. Phone will not boot past the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen. What do i do?
also just updated to TWRP 2.5.0.0
OK so I have TWRP 2.5.0.0 with both the latest firmware package and the latest software package on the root of my SD card. When I mount the sd card I can change the name of the packages to PJ75IMG.zip. Once I do that, I unmount the storage and reboot into bootloader and it says "no image or wrong image" for both the firmware package and the software package when they're clear as day properly named and in the proper location. IDK what to do to restore this phone. Its been wiped clean and as of now is as good as a paperweight. PLEASE HELP QUICKLY!
Do you have two PJ75IMG's on your external SD? You can only do one at a time.
Also, make sure you're not renaming them to PJ75IMG.zip.zip... Windows will sometimes hide extensions for known file types. So if windows knows its a .zip file, it won't show the .zip, and you'll rename it with a .zip at the end, and then windows will add another .zip....
Just a few things to consider...
What two files are you trying to install? I'm guessing firmware is one, but what's the other?
Also, are you sure your phone is S-off?
+1 to what was stated above. You can only install one PJ75IMG from the root of your SD card at a time, otherwise the installation will fail.
