[Q] PB99IMG.zip not found by HBOOT?

[swimon]

Hi,

so I managed to S-off my Desire using Revolutionary. But now I would like to change the HBOOT.

So I put the PB99IMG.zip file on the root of the SD card and boot the phone holding Volume Down + Power, next the message '... PB99IMG.zip not found ...'

Why does this happen? What can I do?

is it definitely named PB99IMG.zip in capitals? Is it definitely not ending .zip.zip?

Alternatively try "Android Flasher". Not saying it's better, but it's a workaround.

 

[danarama]

I'll say its better

 

[swimon]

yeah, it's all in caps. :s

But i'll check out android flasher tomorrow, thanks guys!

No but I was about to download a new table from Alpharev in this zip format and change my table sizes for more data space. Thought of asking this in order to know what to do if I also happen to run into the same problem.

Its usually something to do with the file name. itmust be exactly "PB99IMG.zip" not "pb99img.zip" or "PB99IMG.zip.zip"

You'd be surprised how many people have that last one.

Not yet, i'll post an update when I found the solution.

You can always just try it yourself, there's no danger if the file isn't found.

No problem.

Can I run this in Ubuntu 11.10? Maybe in Wine or something? My dual boot isn't working anymore

Hmm wouldn't trust wine with something this important. You can just drop the fastboot file into ubuntu and use the commands from the fastboot faq in my signature. If you can wait an hour, ill upload the fastboot file and tell you where to put it...

Then from a terminal just type the command. Dead easy

Not sure about ubuntu. Just follow rootSU's advice, he's more knowledgeable than I am.

I fixed the problem, don't know why, but I just reformatted the SD card (with Gparted, exactly the same as I did the first time). And now the PB99IMG file was recognized, so I was able to install the new HBOOT.

I would stil like to have the fastboot file though, I've been looking all over the place for it!

Thanks again everyone.

Its here, go into this link then right click, save as

http://www.mattman.org/rootsu/rootSU/not_for_download/

drop it in /usr/bin then you never need cd to a directory to run it.

 

[swimon]

Thanks! Should come in handy one of these days...

Grtz!

 

[danarama]

Don't forget the thanks button

 

[swimon]
