Need some major help with loading a rom

[salanester]

Don't ask how or why...I'm just an idiot. My sdcard is completely wiped and I can only boot into clockwork recovery (2.5.1.2) (s-off).

Is my phone a brick now or can this be fixed?

I tried loading a couple of roms on the sdcard but I get this (tried loading pb31img):

E:Can't open /sdcard/PB31IMG.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted

Any information/help/scolding will be gladly accepted.

I'm not sure what I did to break it...or eventually fix it. Just in case anyone runs into it again I will try and spell out what I did.

I put the PB31IMG.zip on the sdcard by mounting usb storage through clockwork recovery. I never could get it to install through the clockwork menus; it always gave the error I said above. I then went to hboot and selected fastboot...didn't work the first few times. I would see it trying something and then it would just go to the main hboot screen again. After selecting fastboot a couple of more times it finally showed a vertical progress bar on the side of the screen and then prompted me after a few minutes to select okay to continue update. Bam...it rebooted and everything is fine.

Do not screw with the sdcard unless you know what you are doing...lesson learned.

EDIT: It appears I no longer have root and when I try unrevoked it goes back to hboot to do the above process all over again and unrevoked just sits at 'waiting for bootloader'.

You didn't need to load a pb file that file you loaded was to Unroot and its probably 2.1 make sure your phone is up to date. Then try unrevoked. To check if your up to date go to ssettings about phone software information

That is the 2.2 RUU that I loaded; I checked in the settings and it is 2.2. If I run unrevoked it finds my phone and then does a couple things and then reboots and says 'waiting for bootloader'. Problem is every time unrevoked reboots my phone it goes to hboot and wants to install that PB31IMG.zip file again and unrevoked just hangs.

Any ideas?

You sure the usb drivers are installed. Debug on and disk drive. Then retry

Delete the pb file you have on your sd card. Its probably causing that problem

 

[salanester]

Still goes to hboot and initiates installing that file again...

If I delete that what will my phone boot with? Until I put that on there my phone went straight to hboot and then clockwork recovery. I couldn't install any rom from zip card and the update.zip wasn't found. Now it boots up and works fine...I just don't have clockwork or root anymore.

I have no idea what I did to this dang thing.

You were right (completely forgot that I could remove that file after it was flashed).

Thanks for the help...you're a lifesaver!!
