PB99IMG.zip method not working

Been struggling with this for quite some time now. I managed to use the alpharev method to make my phone S-OFF. I'm using a rooted desire with CM 6.1.1 installed.

My issue at the moment is getting the N1 table set up. I am hesitant to go with the fastboot method as I am using Ubuntu and it seems very complicated to setup. I've been trying for a few hours now to no avail as there does not seem to be one clear set of instructions online. I would thus like to be able to do this entirely from my SD card, and though the PB99IMG.zip method would be great. I am however getting similar errors to the others...

when i load fastboot with power and back button pressed nothing seems to happen initially. I see a menu with:

BOOTLOADER

REBOOT

REBOOT BOOTLOADER

POWER DOWN

I didnt see this update prompt that should come up right away so I select BOOTLOADER from the list... after a few seconds a message comes up saying

CID Incorrect!

Update Fail!

DO you want to reboot the deviceÉ

'vol up" yes

'vol down" no

I have the .zip file named appropriately and on the root of my SD card... I even tried what others suggested and placed the corresponding .img file in the root of the SD card also.

Just hoping that some one can clear this up, and give me some idea of what to do. Again Ive spent several hours on this already and am not keen to invest several more into installing fastboot or android development kits as it looks like i might have to :P

I also tried flashing the .zip from within the RECOVERY screen, similar to how I installed CM and gapps in the first place... but this seemed to do nothing.

I can access my ROM just fine so im not at risk of being bricked I dont think... just would like to get this sorted asap so I can get to installing apps on me phone :)

thanks in advance

You need a goldcard to do it this way.

Have a search and you will find instructions on how to create one.

'Gold card helper' (I think) from the market could also be useful :)

I just flashed the PB99IMG file. It works!! :D

I S-OFF'd my Desire with Alpharev iso (burnt it on cd). Then I downloaded 'PB99IMG_bravo_oxygen' from alpharev.nl.

Then I renamed PB99IMG_bravo_oxygen to 'PB99IMG' !! LOOK !! no .zip. !! First I did PB99IMG.zip but that was not working, nothing happened. So I copied my 'PB99IMG' (without .zip) file to the root of the sd card. I booted into fastboot and my file got recognized. I flashed it and everything went good. Now I have 304 MB internal space free. Piece of cake! :) Thanks AlphaRev crew! :D

Maybe you can try this to flash the file?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dknova:
This worked for me...

1. Renamed PB99IMG_bravo_cm7.zip to PB99IMG and placed onto the root of the SDcard

2. Boot into HBoot and run Fastboot

N.B It may look like it failed but it hasn't try to boot into your ROM and you may find it doesn't! Don't panic...

3. Boot into Recovery Mode and clear cache

4. Reinstall ROM

5. Check your storage :)

Please, please, please backup your data before doing this!

Try with an unpartitioned SD card

It took me a few hours to realise what the problem could be that I couldn't update my partition tables (a very short message saying 4 times "No image!" or "No image or wrong image!).

Then I figured that it may be caused by the fact that I was using a partioned SD card.

My "normal" SD card I used so far has 2 partitions. 1st fat32 +/- 3,5 GB, 2nd ext3 512 MB. (I've tried putting the PB99IMG.zip file on both partitions.)

Then I tried using another SD card (2GB if that matters) with just 1 fat32 partition.

I downloaded the PB99IMG_bravo_cm7 from alpharev and renamed it to PB99IMG.zip, as the site says, and put it in the root of that 2GB SD card.

When rebooting the phone in HBOOT, it immediately found the file and the update was finished in a few seconds.

Hope this helps people like me that don't want to figure out the alternative fastboot method.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dward2828:
Tried this way 10-15 times without any joy. Then, without changing ANYTHING else, I booted into hboot with the usb connected. Received the same old message indicating it had failed due to invalid CID, but next time I booted the alpharev line had changed to alpharev oxygen! Success!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmceorange:
What about in a case such as mine, where I have the Stock Telus 2.2 ROM on my phone, rooted flawlessly with unrevoked3, then did the alpharev (cd) s-off.. which seems to have worked fine, except in recovery I get that same message "Model ID Invalid. Update Fail! Reboot?"... Nandroid backup works fine, Fastboot works fine... so far everything seems to work fine.. but that message bothers me......

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
you can probably work it out based on size. Sense ones would be the largest ones. The easiest thing to do would be to rename your backups with something more than just the standard date they were created on order to help you sort through them later.

Some friends and I use kakao talk to keep in touch and talk garbage about black ops. I've been trying my hand at seemingly simple modifications as far as images on the framework so I thought I would give changing the god awful blue chat background a spin.

I moved the app to system and used ninja morph to start a project and located the chat background image and swap it with another image. I finished up the project and rebooted but nothing changed. Still the same blue. The image changes in the project file and in the reinstalled file, but is still the normal one in the chat. I also tried changing the color using ninja morph's editor but same results.

Any ideas on how to make this take?

[Nexus S General] DarkAgent:
Okay, everyone pretty much knows no two SAMOLED screens are the same. I recently bought a second Nexus S (because I kept hearing people say it has "amazing" battery life whereas I was getting nothing better than my Vibrant) and decided to keep my first one (I will return it later) to compare. The second NS definitely has a slightly brighter screen, but it also has a much more apparent purple tint. The first one has a slightly less bright screen but the purple tint is also very minimal, hardly noticeable unless one is looking for it.

Any suggestions on which one I should keep?

P.S. Both phones batteries behave similar so I guess everyone's definition of "amazing" is my definition of poor.
[Nexus S General] baolongn:
i personally hated the purple tint. if you dont mind the 'unnoticeable unless pointed out' defect, go for the one with the lower brightness. also, check your whites on both phones because mine had a problem displaying true white.
[Nexus S General] DarkAgent:
second phone definitely has "purplish" whites.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
My personal preference is to have more accurate colors. If the white isn't white, it's not acceptable for me. I'd go for the less bright one, as long as it's bright enough.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Mine has a blue-ish tint when it's white... really annoying. Also there's banding when I swipe down the notification bar (the dark grey background... lots of odd colored lines). That and my oleophobic coating is wearing off, gonna exchange in a few days. I really hope I get one with a warmer tint so the white looks more white... I don't care if it's slightly less bright, it's too bright as it is right now anyway.

EDIT: Actually I just tried screen calibration under cyanogen rendering effects... using the N1 cool setting makes it a tad warmer, whites look white now, but it's SLIGHTLY less bright than before. Whatever, better colors, I like it for now until I exchange.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
just for you info, the blue-ish white is the actuall true white . its the better screen than the purplish white. and once you comapre them both head to head, you are gona kiss your phone.

i am not aware of your other issues but if they are annoying you, then just exchange the phone.

god knows how many weeks i searched for cool blue-ish white for my galaxy S and then iphone 4. i hate the warm yellow /purple-ish color from my heart >_< " its a friggin defect "
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
This is how your NS should look in your screen while in the clock homescreen . If it looks any different, then its not right. Usually there's a purplish tint in the bottom tabbed icons on the lowest bright settings. You'll want to find one thats closest to this display
[Nexus S General] justsignbythex:
After doing the test mentioned above (Clock -> hit the brightness setting on the top right corner), I notice that the lower buttons are purple/pink tint.

Does that indicate a defective display? Also, after a few seconds, it dims even more, and the entire screen has a purple/pink tint.
[Nexus S General] Samurai Drac:
Seems like some super poor quality control if there are huge variances in SAMOLED display tech coming out of Samsung... =[
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
purple = defective. bad screen

cool blue = good screen.

the end of the day = personal taste. but compare a purple screen to cool blue screen when you set the brightness to the highest on a white background. the difference is night and day
[Nexus S General] justsignbythex:
Gah, I knew there was something horribly wrong with the purple.

This is my 2nd unit and I'm not sure if I want to exchange it and take another risk of getting a faulty unit.

My first unit had a faulty back button and this one has a loose volume rocker (not too concerned about), and just found out that the screen is defective.

Now that I think of it however, I'm rarely on low brightness and high brightness.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
good luck thinking about it before you go to sleep and you actually sleep.

and if you did, you will have nightmares about it
[Nexus S General] princeasi:
As I mentioned before, I'm not sure if this really considered a defect in the eyes of samsung because I've yet to see one displayed like the the 2 photos I've provided. I know this because of the inconsistencies I've personally seen with the N1 screens myself, and certain batches of N1 would have varying degrees of the purplish tint, some worse than others. It stills baffles me how they let this bleed over into their NS lines. My NS still has the issue but out of all the NS I've seen so far I've lucked up on the better out of the other evils.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] justsignbythex:
As scary as it may seem, I did have nightmares about it! :eek:

I'm going to end up keeping this unit since I haven't ran into other large issues such as rebooting during phone calls, etc.

This event I flashed my husbands HD2 to android. it works perfectly. I want my pt2 fully working on android as well. Not together with wm on an sd card. But a complete rom.

I just cannot find the right rom. Who can help me ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
There isn't an android rom for tp2.

NAND BOOT is the closest you can get at this moment.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Indeed, HD2 is significantly different piece of hardware than the TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wennes13:
May sound like a dummie, but what I don't quite understand what Nand Boot is.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
Correct me if i'm wrong.

NAND boot uses a very lite version of winmo, only for booting into android. So i believe you allmost can't do anything in winmo, but only booting android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Not really. NAND boot basically means replacing WinMo. So no WinMo whatsoever - there's a bootloader called TinBoot that's open source - it's what the Vogue used for its bootloader. HD2 uses a proprietary one called magldr.

NAND just means we're taking over the internal memory on the phone, instead of booting anything off of the SD card. Our NAND currently is technically only partial - most of the stuff still resides on the SD card, very little is placed on internal memory. initrd and rootfs I think are it... Not positive on what is being placed on the NAND at present - I know the data.img and system.ext2 file are still on the SD tho ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] alo_tongdaiday:
I do not understand, after the successful NAND BOOT what to do when you start running android phone, I tried downloading the android on the copy to memory card without success
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I wouldn't use NAND at this stage, it's very experimental and not quite as polished as haret - but it's making great progress.
[Epic 4G General] dennispg:
I recently started noticing constant 3G activity which of course would drain my battery in a matter of a couple of hours. Needless to say it was annoying and so I was trying to track down what connections are being made.

I tried running netstat from the terminal thinking it would show me what all open connections there are, but it doesnt seem to work, or at least it didnt show any open connections to the internet.

I eventually figured out what was causing all the activity by killing services one by one and the activity stopped when I killed the Sync service. That's when I remembered the password had expired on one of my Exchange accounts. After correcting that, the activity stopped and all is well now. I'm running stock DI18. Is this normal for the activity to be pegged like that for an expired password?

Also is there a reason netstat doesnt show open connections over 3G? I havent tested if it shows connections over wifi yet.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Again if you were already rooted with S-off , and you say you did a factory reset , what exactly did you do to "factory reset"?????? In your first post you said you had perm root before, so this means you would have had S-off, meaning in order to get S-on you would have had to unroot your phone. How did you root your phone the first time??? What did you do to unroot your phone now???????? Doing a factory reset would not unroot your phone. So my guess is you never rooted the first time. So that means you must be doing something wrong in the rooting process, as far as I know your version is rootable, what methods have you tried and exactly what steps have you done in the processes. :confused:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linker3000:
Hi,

I just swapped a 4GB micro-SD for a 8GB one in my stock Desire (02 UK). Having read a few threads about this I wasn't expecting any problems, just format the new card to FAT32 and copy all files onto it, so the phone was duly shut down and I did the format/copy on a laptop running fedora using the Nautilus File Manager (using 'show hidden files'), inserted the 8GB card and powered up.

Well, the apps were a bit of a mess:

All the home screen icons for apps moved to the SD card changed back to the generic Android one but the apps still ran. These apps were also listed in the application manager by generic names eg: com.thisapp.thisdeveloper.

Apps moved to the SD card but with no icons on the home screen just 'disappered'.

This wasn't too bad to fix - I just removed and reinstalled the affected apps - but it made me wonder whether I just suffered some bad luck or whether I overlooked something. The only thing I can think of is that I named the 8GB SD card 'Android' when I formatted it, so if this name was different from the 4GB one (can't check - it's already been reformatted and used elsewhere) could this have caused the problem?

Any input appreciated just in case I need to swap out cards again.

Thanks.

Each rom may read the battery differently. the easiest way to deter that is to drain it all the way down until the phone dies, charge it all the way back up and wipe the battery stats.
