OKAY I looked through several threads...

so don't crucify me yet... I downloaded the update, phone was off, tried both a) end button and send button, and b) volume down and end button, and all I get is a screen that has this:

PB00100
HBOOT-......(NUMBERS)
MICROP-(NUMBERS)
TOUCH PANEL-MEL
RADIO-(NUMBERS)
OCT 5, 2009

HBOOT (in a blue box) >>>>"no image or wrong image" flashes down as I select this

<SEND> Fastboot Mode
<VOL UP> Recovery


This is it. It does nothing. I have used 3 diffrent .zip's, some from here and some from thekrtek.com. Followed directions. Nothing.

I think that is where I had to hit the Vol Down for HBOOT... or I hit the Trackball to select it.... I forget which.... sorry.

You'll notice the Oct 2009 date... once it works, it'll restart and give you pretty much the same page, but you'll notice that date changes to Feb 2010.

That's what told me it was doing something... I just let it do it's thing.

In the root... Top level.

 

[Jshizzy]

I have a blank root folder...


do I need spcial apps to open? I use Astro for SD card.

root=not in a file ... just on the top right when you open it up

 

[Jshizzy]

ok I quit. Im an idiot. waiting till ota

 

[ericDylan]

make sure that the zip file is pb00img.zip because that was my problem for a while. i downloaded the zip file from a few different places and the one i put on my phone was pb00img(2).zip and it didnt occur to me until about an hour after i started that maybe it has to be the right name. hope it works but in all likelihood you have a different problem ...

Here is the file that I used, worked perfectly:

Here's the .zip file you need.

And when the sd is mounted via phone to the computer, just go start>computer. You should see "removable disk" drive for your phone. You dont even need to open it. Just drag the .zip and drop it right on "removable disk". It'll go where it needs to.

when i hold Vol-Up and End, it turns on with the white screen and three android guys, then goes to a black screen with a picture of a triangle caution sign and the a phone laying next to it......then i can't do anything. i tried every button, holding, multiple presses....what am i doing wrong - i'm trying to get to recovery mode.

I think you need Vol-Down and End instead of Vol-Up.
