Okay i took a look at it n it worked but how do i flash to stock so i can send in my phone for exchange or repair

ah ok, gotcha. refer to this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17424340&postcount=24

the download link is there, as well as the instructions. since you are S-ON on the OTA, you will need to use the file in the second link in that post, where it says 'leaked HTC Android ROMs'. i am not positive if even the second one will work, since you are already on that software version. but give it a try and let us know. (i know it says it is for S-OFF devices, but there is a chance the second file will flash for you. if these files don't flash for you, you might be able to individually flash back an unrooted stock system, and then stock recovery. but so far i haven't seen it come up where someone with S-ON and HTC unlock wanting to flash back to factory stock).

It should work - i'm pretty positive that's how people have been getting around the broken unlock since it is the only way, and we now have a lot of people unlocked that weren't before.

I am pretty positive I flashed it a couple of times to reset my system when we were trying to downgrade it, so I could start fresh each time. (In fact, i'm sure of it now that i've thought about it for a moment) and I was S-ON (...again) at the time.

ok, i guess the things to check for would be: that you are using the file in the 2nd link, following the links to the download for the Doubleshot? and also that you got the full download of 437.49 MB... (i've had it where the download appeared to finish, but i didn't get the whole thing).

if you've done everything correctly and it's not going thru, i guess it's possible that it isn't being allowed. did you flash this file before in order to make the HTC unlock method work?

@Blue: have you specifically tested this after having flashed this file once already, and then flashing it again to go back to pure stock? i guess i am wondering, if someone flashed the leaked PG59IMG previously(as opposed to doing the OTA), would the bootloader recognize it as being not an upgrade but the same version the phone is already on?

okay i will try to download again and will do the same process i used the HTC unlock tool that unlocks the boot loader directly frm HTC. im guessing that ur right and the download was not completed but i will continue to try

No, no need to fastboot it - yes you have the file named correctly, my guess would be you have the wrong file.

On my page the guide was written before there was more then one, and the old one won't work for you.

It's linked at the very top to the new one, but the possibility exists that you grabbed the wrong one somehow, so no worries:

Here is a direct link to the package you need:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0f....00_11.16.3504.20_2_release_227956_signed.zip

That's the new leaked HTC signed package that football put up and I found a few weeks ago - we tried it and it worked on the people who were unable to previously unlock with HTC through the HTC unlock bootloader method.

Everyone who couldn't do the unlock because of the buggy OTA now has a way of getting unlock, so download the file linked in this post and rename to PG59IMG.zip , put it on the main directory of your microsd card, and then reboot into hboot.

It will load, one bar in the top right corner, then load a second bar in the same place, then give you the option to install or not.

Make sure you have a full battery!

Let us know how it goes

okay i have tried it and i have checked that i have the right file . The file u have provided is the same and it on my sdcard now and when i run the bootloader and let the zip file load it goes back to the reg bootloader screen and doesnt do anythin. Is there a way to do this with adb.exe in the command promp like to mount the sys and re write it back on the phone its self? The only thing i can do is flash oem rcovery on the bootloader and flash the boot.img but i cant do the system nor anything else it alway says. The file signature failed. Is there a way to remove the signatures so it wrks

hey you guys, i think there is a solution for you: try this file, it was just posted a couple hours ago, it is the newest stock ROM, 1.63.531.2:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/c41....00_11.16.3504.20_2_release_245247_signed.zip

your hboot should see it as a newer ROM version and let you flash it as a PG59IMG.zip. might take a good while to download tho, mine still has almost 2 hours to go
