[Q] Battery too low to use RUU. PG86IMG.zip wont ask to update.

Jawbreaking · Feb 27, 2014

So I tried flashing MIUI and ended up in a bootloop. I relocked the phone to use RUU but I kept getting an error that I was using the wrong one Finally found what appears to be the correct one but my battery got too low to complete the process.Right now I'm using a script I found that keeps rebooting the bootloader so it slowly charges the battery. I also tried putting PG86IMG.zip into the root of the SD card and while it finds it it does not ask me to update just hangs in "Checking PG86IMG.zip" and then returns to the first screen. I've been at this for days now and any help would greatly be appreciated.

Backround:Evo 3D. Sprint. Relocked. s-on. hboot 1.58

i would recommend re-downloading and double checking to ensure the PG86IMG.zip is the right one and is a healthy file. might not fix it but definitely the easiest place to start.

i grabbed the PG86IMG.zip from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2656899 .
That user was having similar problems but hes on VM so I dont know if I need a diffrent PG86IMG.zip.
I have no idea where else to get one.

i would check the gsm forums to see if there's a walk-through somewhere with the files you need, as i am cdma i wont beable to send you any that i have.

Make your own ....
Make sure you have the correct ruu for windows

Dont connect your phone

Start the .exe and let it open up

Then go to run and type %temp%

Find the newest folder and open it

Find rom.zip and rename that to PG86IMG.zip

Put it on your sd and make sure It's the only one

Good luck

oh I'm on cdma too. Sprint actually, I'm just not sure if there is a difference between the Sprint files and VM files.

virginmobile uses cdma-shooter

sprint uses gsm-shooteru

so perhaps thats where your problems is . i would recommend you try the gsm section.

"sprint" does not mean gsm....

If you flash gsm stuff to your cdma, you are just asking for headaches..

Does your phone require a sim card?
If yes = gsm
If no = cdma

could you be more specific in "go to run and type %temp%" as i've never done this before.

No my phone does not require a sim card and im on Sprint . I did not flash any gsm stuff.

So so far im still waiting for the battery to get high enough to be able to try what i think the correct ruu is.

so the RUU i was trying to use was 2.89 and i need 2.95 which I've looked for but cannot seem to find. Is there anything else i can do since ive been at this for a week now . Would reunlocking and flashing a recovery do anything? thanks for all the help so far guys.

Edit: now im trying to reunlock but when i try to get the devices serial number i keep getting "list of devices attached" and nothing else. anyone?

hossman · Mar 2, 2014

There is no ruu for 2.95

You will need s off first then you can run an older ruu

So yes you need to unlock and get s off

So since im trying to get the serial number to reunlock would you happen to know how to fix the fact that i only keep getting "list of devices attached" when i type adb devices?

Edit: so i managed to unlock my bootloader with my original unlock code from months ago and now i can enter recovery. I still get a bootloop unless i enter bootloader first. So do i need to get s off and use an old ruu or could an old nandroid do the work?

Edit again: so I was watching a video on getting s off and it looks like i have to be able to accept super user permissions which i cannot do since im stuck in a bootloop.

Flash a stock based rom, sense ICS

Then take the boot.IMG from the ROM.zip and place it in your SDK folder

Then boot your phone to fastboot
Then in command prompt enter

"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Reboot your phone and you should be good
