I have tried and tried, but when i go to Hboot, it just will not see the .zip. I have flashed radios very easily this way as recent as a few days ago but now all of a sudden it wont work. Any ideas?
Let's start with the easy stuff.
It is in the root of your SD?
You did unmount the drive from your computer after copying the file over?
You triple checked that the file name is exactly right?
Not trying to be insulting, I just know I have a habit of not seeing the forest for the trees.
I had this happen and I actually just deleted the .zip from the end of the file name and it worked.

Are you using Shad0wf0x's guide to flashing radio without ENG S-OFF? I know I've had this same problem, where I can only flash his radios in thread, but can't flash radio's from anywhere else.

I also had a similar problem. I ended up having to reformat the SD card.
I saw this problem many time. if you pushed to recovery at Hboot system, then it can not read PD98IMG. but I cant find solve this problem too.

Hi,
I have a DHD with the last one FOTA, the 3.12.405.1, it's S-ON and I have unlocked the bootloader with the HTCdev.com tool.
I've tried the Advanced ace hack tool to S-OFF my Desire and install a new ROM.
I must downgrade the firmware to continue the process, right?
When load the HBoot he load the PD98IMG.zip file, but he say me that 'no image or wrong image' and return to HBoot without flashing.
I've tried a lot of version of the .zip file, but no success..
Anyone can help me?

Hello! Can someone please help me? I think I softbricked my Inspire. It will boot (hboot) to the white screen with the 3 little androids at the bottom. When I pull the battery out and hold down the down button and power it loads into hboot but I can't go up or down to go into recovery mode or etc. It will load the PD98IMG.ZIP but after then it goes to the next screen where the other stuff at to load before I can reboot, for ex. splash 1 splash 2 and all the other stuff, but it doesn't load or anything. Oh yeah my phone is s-off . Please help me get my phone back working so I can put this new rom on there. I haven't had this problem before until now. Thanks a lot!

There has been sooo many threads based on this its not funny, did you even try to search? I don't understand why there is a distinction between soft and hard bricks. A brick is a brick, if you can boot into HBOOT the word brick should not be associated with your phone, soft or hard is reserved for ice scream.
What PD98IMG are you talking about? are you sure you grabbed the right PD98IMG rom file? If you have a SD reader delete the PD98IMG you have on there now and follow the link I provide. They will give you stock ROMs that either have been named PD98IMG that just have to be put onto the root of your inspire or you have to rename the file PD98IMG. Flash in HBOOT and reboot, install Rom Manger and then flash either CWR or 4ext or whatever tickles your fancy and boot into recovery and flash as normal. I have had the same problem you have had and these PD98IMG worked for me.

Ok. Did you have to make a goldcard or did you just put the zip on your sd and reboot it pressing down button and power down and it did the rest from there on its own?

::sigh::
Please, please, please, please, pleaseeeeeeee!!!! read and do your research. Take the time to educate yourself before you truly brick your phone. I can't even believe that you rooted your phone if you're asking me this kind of a question. I'll spoon feed this to you once, the goldcard is only used to downgrade and gain the exploit to root. I'm not 100% sure if the newest version still requires the downgrade but nonetheless after you've rooted the goldcard is useless, you don't need it. Again, please search! the issue you're having has been covered literally like 3 times this week in 3 different threads. I'll spoon feed it to you just this once, but please be aware this is a DEVELOPMENT SITE, and not I'm really lazy and can't search for my help site
Go to one of those threads I provided in the link. Download the RUU file. If it's already named PD98IMG.zip, simply place it on your SDcard (I'm guessing in your case it's still your goldcard which is your SDcard). If it is not exactly named "PD98IMG.zip" rename the downloaded RUU to "PD98IMG.zip" exactly like that and place in on your SDcard (GOLDCARD). From there press the volume up and and power at the same time to boot into HBOOT. Once in Hboot, hit the power button and follow the commands. HBOOT will scan for that PD98IMG.zip file, flash it and you will have a working stock rooted ROM to start all over. If you have another PD98IMG.zip file other then the one downloaded from the provided link, delete it. If your phone isn't being recongized by your computer, you'll need a SDcard reader to delete and add zip files to your SDcard. All of this could have been found by searching. Don't be lazy, help us help you by helping yourself to the search button
Take out sd card. Boot into hboot. Scroll down to recovery but don't press. Put sd card back in and then enter recovery. Be sure to get rid if pd98img if you are going to boot into recovery through hboot.

Your problem is very simple. The pd98img that is on your sd card will not allow you to access the hboot menu. You have to remove the pd98img if you want to enter recovery via hboot. The process I told you will skip the pd98img check and let you select an option. You have to boot into hboot though without the sd card in your phone and then pop it back in once you are able to navigate through hboot menu.
If you have a card reader you can remove it that way. If you are able to boot into your rom then you can remove it that way too.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
@ Gizmoe ok, thanks! I've tried that and more methods still no luck. I still can't select anything with the pd98img.zip being off the sd card and I still can't select any when the sd card isn't in the phone at all. Sigh... When in hboot without sd card inserted in the phone I still can't scroll up or down at all, and the hboot and fastboot are highlighted in blue. Under fastboot it's recovery, factory reset, simlock, and image crc... I can't scroll down to none of them though. Any other method to try getting it into recovery? Thanks
Try backing up your sd card. Reformat sd card, and then put a Rom on card and then try hboot again.

Don't get butt hurt when you're openly being lazy on a development site. Don't get defensive when I tell you what you should be doing and still give you the advice you were looking for, whether or not it worked. I find it hilarious that people just like you think, "ooooh I see these threads even when I'm making this pointless one but I'm tired of reading...blah blah blah" If that's the attitude you have towards rooting and this development site in general, re-read the rules here at XDA. I'm not trying to be a jerk (regardless how you take it) but when you signed up to XDA you agreed to the terms and to adhere to rules of XDA.
The only other way to boot into recovery is through adb I think, I've never had to do it but I think there is a way to do it that way. You can always hit up Attn1's IRC chatroom, can't say they will be more receptive but they always seem to have someone in there that knows every trick.I wish I could provide more insight towards adb but I never had to or wanted to use it.

Can you boot into rom? If not how far does it get. You may be able to use adb from blanked screen. Also are you even able to navigate through hboot menu or is it just frozen?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
No, far as I get is to the screen where it is hboot, fastboot, recovery, and etc. I can't scroll to none of them, so it's like it's frozen. I tried putting a custom rom on sd card after I formatted it, even tried different sd cards and still the same thing. So I'm stuck on the screen with the 3 little androids on the skateboard. I stayed up till 6 dis morning searching and trying different stuff, but still can't get past that screen. when I try plugging the phone up to the pc the phone screen is black and I can't do anything, but when I unplug it it'll boot into hboot. I have a card reader btw if that helps anything. Thanks!
Download this and put on root of sd card and boot into hboot. It may let you select yes after parsing a file

My phone is s-off... Do I download the froyo one or gingerbread? Sorry c where u say use gb version... When it's done downloading do I rename it or just leave it as is?
Yes the gingerbread. This will return you to stock everything. You can root again from there or just leave it as is if you don't want root anymore.

Ok thanks! I'll let you know how everything goes. Leave the file name as is right or change it to PD98IMG.zip?
So my phone is in hboot... it's s-off for sure.. I have flashed many roms and whatnot with no issues. So I reboot my phone today, and it boots to hboot screen.
I've tried to get it to go past but nada. It checks for SD card then i can't select recovery or anything..
Also I thought I got an ATT stock img, was just going to try to redo it or whatnot, put that on roo, and it gets stuck parsing..
Any help would be appriciated.
Also... It's almost like the volume down is stuck on, because it seems to function and then won't let me move after it scans for SD IMG.
Did it just reboot into hboot on its own or did you put a pd98img on it and now it is stuck?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
If you have an image on card do the following. Take out sd. Boot into hboot. Scroll down to recovery but don't press. Put sd back in and then select recovery. If there is a pd98img it won't let you do anything except flash the image. If its corrupt than it won't do anything.
Always remove pd98img from card after using. Hboot menu is inaccessible with a pd98img on sd card.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Took SD card out.. Still booting to that hboot ya know with the fastboot, recovery, simlock, ect.
Can't move on the menu once booted.
And it got stuck on htc sense. Basically pulled battery then my phone had a bad day.
Like gizmoe said pd98img file will cause like 90% of boot loop
Or if you have a card reader just use that to delete the pd98 file
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
So my phone won't boot even with the SD card not in it... and it happened before I put that img on the root.
You've got to have an IMG on there. Find a way to delete it and you'll be good.

Did you try putting card back in before moving through hboot menu? Just leave it out while entering hboot and it will skip the file check and then put sd back in. Then try to make a selection.

Why don't you just get a SD reader, delete the IMG and move on? AT&T will notice the S-Off and won't fix it. The Service Center will.

They will definitely notice and will not honor your warranty. Sounds like hboot became corrupt somehow. If you have a card reader you could try using genepooles s-on tool. You might still be able to run a pd98img. That way you will be s-on and can send it in.

so I'm still playing with it... It looks like it gets stuck on parsing, then I can hit down to cancel, but thatssss about it.
so I fixed it... the method for this fix is quite complex but it worked for me.
1. Got an otterbox.
2. Enclosed phone in otterbox.
3. Got really ticked off and threw the phone at the wall.
4. Now it's working .
Really I think the issue was with the volume down key, and me chunking the phone must have rattled something right.. If only I could get duct tape involved somewhere this would truely be a legit fix.
Also thanks the people that replied really did reach out to help.. Cheers mates!
quick reply on this.. so the volume key is still a factor in this thing... Due to this I my phone is booting in a "Safe Mode" so I'm going to see what options I have to put it in an S-ON and install AT&T stock rom,,, doing this I would hope the engineers that diagnose the phones won't see the previous root.
So if anyone has any suggestions while I navigate the boards for a s-on / AT&T stock rom let me know...
Only hiccup I might meet is actually getting the img zip to load to actually flash the device,, I'm thinking the S-ON is the most important thing however.
Here is a link to a pd98img to put on sd card that will do the unroot process. It's your best bet. s on pd98img

I was installing a ROM on my Inspire 4G from ClockworkMode Recovery, but the problem is that after having installed, the phone does not start the ROM, just enter on the Recovery, and I go back to reboot and return to Recovery and I can start my phone.
Any ideas?
Could be a bad flash, try first wiping and flash again. Or a bad download, download with a PC and save it to your and card flash again. What ROM are you trying to flash?

a few days ago I had a problem with my bootloader it took about 20min to start But I could solve it with this method:
"Managed to solve the delay after booting by Following These steps:
download http://tinyurl.com/6fkvepx
unzip-HBFX.zip PD98IMG
installer using busybox
turn on usb debugging
adb push hboot.nb0 / data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0
adb shell
md5sum / data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0
dd if = / data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0 of = / dev/block/mmcblk0p18
md5sum / dev/block/mmcblk0p18
exit
adb reboot "
That might damaged in any way?
And yes, i`m wiping.
I don't think so; everything you pushed should be formatted when you wipe and overwritten when you install. I don't want to say it but you could have a bootloader issue and reverting to stock and doing all that might help but that seems a little to drastic. If you jump on the IRC with the hack kit they might be able to tell you how to flash your bootloader over without a complete revert and the devs on the collective's Palringo chat room may have some better options.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA
Thinking about it a little more and reading your post again. I would look at flashing your bootloader again. I want to say it's as easy as loading a pm_img and flashing through hboot but double check with someone it's late but you should find someone on IRC

Is it still under AT&T warranty? is it just stuck at the HTC boot screen? What android version were they on when this happened?
Thanks guys. I'm so sorry for my 'noob' Ness, what is a 'ruu'? I'm downloading that file now, it's an exe file, do I just put that on the sd card?
I'm pretty sure it's at 2.3.5. Never been rooted or messed with. I have a photon4g, I've been screwed from day one.
When it starts up it will stay at the htc screen forever.
No warranty.

RUU is remote update utility. You don't have to put that file in the sdcard, you have to flash it in fast boot. Boot in boot, plug the phone and if the phone says hboot USB plug, press power to toggle to fast hboot USB, then run the exe file and you are done
