this is the most common error folks have. only 2 reasons a proper PxxxIMG file on the root of an SD card is not found by ANY phone:
1)not properly named(your phone must see PB31IMG.zip). its easy with windows to get 2 .zips,or not as often,no .zips.
solution:check your file on your phone with a file manager and see how its named.
2)sd card not properly formatted. it HAS to be FAT32. not FAT,or anything else.
solution: right click on sd card when mounted to PC,click properties. reformat if needed.
a couple other common errors for noobs,espeically concerning the inc,unzipping the PB31IMG,and putting it into internal phone storage instead of onto the sd card.
if you still have prollems after that,may want to search the AF thread,as its been addressed several times in the 20+pages there

This wouldn't be a problem if SU wasn't f/c ing.
Any suggestions?

After using a few root apps,go back and clear data in settings/apps/manage apps/superuser
after trying to use him a few times the "clear data" wont be greyed out

yes,you need superuser to downgrade. no,you do not need s-off,as the purpose of the dongrade is to get a baseband compatible with unrevokeds s-off patch. the above should give you root access. if not,you can downlaod the newest supuser and flash im in recovery:
superuser 3.07
