[Q] Can't get dinc back to stock

---

Ok so here's the problem I'm having. I'm trying to take my phone back to stock so I can send it into verizon. The charging port is broken, so there's not RUU option. I've flashed gingerbread, and have gotten back to s-on. Now, I've been following the guide (stickied) and once I get to the PB31IMG.zip flash step it won't do anything. I can't get rid of Clockwork, and the superuser icon is still present on the phone. Whenever I try to flash the zip (I've downloaded from multiple sources) it gets to the "checking" part and then goes back to the hboot main screen. What am I doing wrong, and what can I do to fix it? I'm on a time limit because I need to send it away by tomorrow night. Thanks for all the help.

What hboot and gingerbread version are you on?

I'm on .92 hboot, and i think it's 2.3.4.... it's the 2.15......28 radio.

Ok first backup and format the sdcard fat32 with a pc. Then download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images....3/PB31IMG.zip, and place it on the sdcard in no folders. Then put the sd back in the phone and boot to hboot and see if it will find it. Sometimes if there are errors on the sdcard it wont process the file correctly, reformating it should fix this. If it flashes correctly go back to hboot and do a factory reset, this will ensure all data is gone.

Thanks a thousand percent! That link is what did it. I've tried numerous sources over the past few days and it never got past the "checking" stage. Everything is all sorted out now. Thanks again.
