This is a .zip file that if renamed to PG59IMG.zip and placed on your sdcard will be picked up by hboot and automatically loaded by the device instead of the hboot menu.

PG59IMG.zip Notes:

Pick one of the above files to restore your device to 'factory fresh' for that software version.

Only S-OFF devices are capable of a downgrade at this time, so S-ON ( LOCKED or UNLOCKED ) devices will only be able to go as far back as their current software version.

( We are working on this... )

Once you have the software package downloaded, you will need to rename it as:

PG59IMG.zip

...and then place it on the sdcard of your device ( main directory is best! )

Note:

Devices that are S-ON and unlocked will need to re-lock their devices before being able to flash these PG59IMG.zip packages​

To re-lock the device, boot up to fastboot and then issue this command from the terminal/cmd window on your computer:

fastboot oem lock

The device will then be ready to re-flash, you should do this prior to placing the PG59IMG.zip file on the sdcard.
​

Second Note:

Devices with S-ON ( LOCKED or UNLOCKED ) will be restricted to flashing ONLY the PG59IMG.zip files that have an HTC signature, which are only these leaked PG59IMG.zip files linked above.

The custom PG59IMG.zip files i've made throughout the rest of this reference will not work for S-ON devices of any lock status.​

Step-by-Step PG59IMG.zip Usage:

What you need:

- MicroSD card.

- A PG59IMG.zip file (links above)

How to make it:

[1] - Download an image linked above.

[2] - Rename it to PG59IMG.zip

[3] - Format your MicroSD card in the computer.

[4] - Transfer the image from the computer to the MicroSD card.

[5] - SAFELY EJECT the MicroSD card from the computer.

Update:

Before installing a PG59IMG.zip file you should be on the latest clockworkmod recovery if possible. Also see this post.

Boot into recovery and then:

[1] - Go to 'Mounts and Storage'

[2] - format /system

[3] - format /data

[4] - press the hardware back button

[5] - choose 'power off' from the main menu

This will ensure that you will not have write issues during install.

See notes at the bottom of this post.​

How to use it:

NOTE: Make sure you have a full battery!!!​

[1] - Power off the doubleshot. Remove the battery and MicroSD card.

[2] - Insert new card from above. ( or back up current card, make, and re-insert )

[3] - Replace battery and backplate.

[4] - Holding the 'Volume Down' button, press the 'Power' button.

[5] - Wait for the loading bar to fill.

[6] - When ready, it will ask you if you want to start the update.

[7] - Select yes by pressing the 'Volume Up' button. Press 'Volume Down' if you just realized you have a low battery.

[8] - Allow the update time to flash to your doubleshot.

[9] - Let it sit for a minute or two after it says finished, then press power to reboot.

[10] - Follow on-screen instructions until finished.

Then:

[1] - Reboot the doubleshot.

[2] - When fully booted, open the settings menu.

[3] - Go to "SD & phone storage" and choose "Factory data reset"

[4] - Yes, wipe the sdcard too.

[5] - Follow on-screen instructions until finished.

You now have your doubleshot returned to 'factory fresh' for whatever software package you chose to download, through and through. We showed the method to include the sdcard so you would have the device in a state as close to:

"Just like new!!"

...as possible.

If you are S-OFF and would also like to S-ON the device, proceed to this thread:

How-To: S-ON from S-OFF

WARNING:

If you advance your device beyond the 1.28.531.10 software/1.44.0007 hboot to the 1.55.531.3 software/1.45.0013 hboot ( or beyond ) while S-ON you will NOT be able to S-OFF the device at this time.

S-OFF can only be achieved while on the 1.28.531.9/.10 software and 1.44.0007 hboot ( hboot is what's important here ) at this time.​

One last thing...

I am unsure why but I have recently been having issues when it gets to the system partition on the update, where it will unzip/update multiple times in a row before it okays and moves on.

Theories?​
