what will happen?thanks!
If you try boot into recovery using the key combination then it'll reflash the firmware I think.
you will be asked if you want to flash the file again.
Just say no by pressing the correct volume button.
You wont be able to get into your recovery until you delete the file. Take the card out and delete the file and you should be ok.
If you don't delete then every time when you boot in to bootloader it will ask you to flash recovery again.

Those are a lot of incomplete answers.
It will not allow you to reach the recovery or any other options in the bootloader because the bootloader will read the file and ask if you want to update, if you say no, it just reboots. If you say yes, it reflashes. The only way to get back your bootloader and recovery is to delete that file.
I had to use another phone to delete the file from my SD card as i facing continuous bootloop...
dont need second phone
take the sd card out,
boot the phone into the boot loader
go to recovery
it will start counting down or whatever looking for the sd card
put the card back in
it will see the sd card
it will continue on into recovery
connect to pc
mount usb in recovery
delete img file
reboot now if you like everything will be back to normal
* i believe this will also work if you put the sd card in after the bootloader is loaded before you go to recovery, the card just needs to be not present while the bootloader is loading. i believe it checks the card when it loads the bootloader, but after the bootloader comes up you can put the card back in then proceed to recovery

indeed, agree 100% with you. the adaptor is the easiest and fastest way to copy/delete that pg58img file.
if u lucky, u can get 2x card reader for £0.99 (ebay)... and sell the 2nd one (just done that )
Ceed is on the correct path, but you don't even need to go that far. If you simply take out the memory card, boot the phone, then put the memory card back in, you can delete the file using any file explorer program from the market. I prefer Root Explorer, but really anything will work. Hope that helps.
You don't have to delete it. Simple as 'adb reboot recovery'

I did a full wipe and i forgot to put in a CUSTOM ROM in the SD CARD..
what do I do!??! help
Don't quote me on this, but you should be able to put your SDcard in a card reader and put it on your card as PD98IMG.zip and Hboot will flash it.

Download the custom rom and place it on the sd card. Boot into recovery, do a full wipe, install custom rom.

This is true. I softbricked mine the other night pulling fonts around. Pull your sd card out and go to hboot. (you could leave it in if you DO NOT have a pd98img on your card) then reinstall after you get to recovery. As posted above you should still have your original rom on your sd card flash this if you don't have a cardreader. Good Luck!
where can I get this pd189.img
Download the ROM you want to your computer and rename it exactly to PD98IMG.zip and copy it to the root of your SDCARD. Hboot will automatically install it.

its easier to just put the rom on your sd card and boot into recovery..... Did you not make a nandroid back up? If you didn't then maybe that is something you might want to start making a habit of...
Get into recovery from hboot. There is an option in there to enable usb and you can use it like an flash drive like in android. Here are the steps.
1) boot into hboot (volume down then power button)
2) use the volume rocker to go to recovery
3) in recover scroll down to mounts and storage
4) scroll down to mount usb storage
This should allow you to view your sd card like u do in android when u select usb mode. From here you can put your rom on unmount and install. Good luck hope this helps.
sorry guys but i made an "uh oh" and need help please! i had Virtuous Unity 1.31.0 & was attempting to flash the beta version. i had blue magic theme on my rom as well. Here are the exact steps i took: downloaded rom, put phone in clockwork recovery, wiped dalvik, wiped cache, wiped data, mounted system, flashed the zip & rebooted. Now i'm looped in the "blue magic" boot animation. what'd i do wrong & can it be fixed. i backed everything up too. i can get it into HBOOT screen by pressing power & down on volume key but am not able to scroll to any of the options. after a cple seconds it automatically selects HBOOT & asks if i want to install update from sd? i assume it's the gingrbread update but i've selected "no" every time so i could talk to someone first. right noe i'm on a publis cpu & it won't allow me to access the phone internals. i need admin passcode. i haven't messed much with playing with my phone thru a cpu so i'm not quite sure i'm even doing it right. sorry for my cpu lack of knowledge but i've adapted to android pretty well. Help please & thank u in advance
problem is that you have a PD98IMG.zip file on your sdcard....
pull the sdcard, boot into HBOOT, select recovery, then pop in the sdcard when you get to recovery

Yup. If you happen to have a PD98IMG.zip on your SD, bootloader will try to flash it everytime and you won't be able to access Recovery. Either pull the SD card until after you've selected Recovery like pirateghost suggested, or find a card reader/other device to read your card to delete PD98IMG.zip
Ok sweet. That got me back to clockwork, slipped the card back in once in recovery, clicked reboot and it still looped. It did say I had that file so I'm guessing I have to find a card reader and delete the file maually now or did I do something wrong?
Thanks so much for ur reply and it looks like I'm going to have to find a card reader and do it manually cuz it still loops. Thank u so much!
Just go in recovery rewipe and flash the beta rom only no themes yet let it reboot it should load right up I think the theme messed you up the bata rom is based I'm 2.3.4 so 2.3.3 themes wont work
sent from my unity loaded inspire 4G
Ok, did all that but Noticed before I rebooted that at the bottom where it shows the processes it's going thru, it says installation aborted. Says E:Can't open/Sd card/ download etc...2.33.0 BETA.zip....(bad). Do I still reboot or attempt to flash again?
Try going into mounts option in recovery and mount the external sd card.
Not giving option to mount. Only unmount so I guess I unmount and try to remount?
Try that and see if it works.
Aborted again. I'm getting worried friend
Still aborted. I'm getting worried friend
Don't worry. It will work out fine. Let me check something and I will reply momentarily.
Thank u so much for helping. I'm wishing I could pay u at this point
Don't worry. Turn off phone. Check to make sure sd card is properly inserted. Power phone back up and boot into recovery. Select install zip and see if you are able to view your files.
Well I can go to install the zip but still aborts
Try going to backup and restore and select restore. Select the backup you said you made and try restoring to your backup. You may have a bad download of the beta rom. Let me know if you can restore. Wipe first.
What happens If I scroll down to that PD98IMG.zip u were talkin bout. I see it on the zip file list...
You don't want to use that. That type of file can only be used in Hboot. It seems like you can see what is on your sd card so it is mounted. The rom file you were trying to flash may be corrupted. Unless you can get another rom on your sd card I would say restore to your backup until you can get another rom on your card and also delete that PD98IMG file.
if it says corrupted that means that your ROM file is corrupted or didnt fully downloaded.
1.Turn Off Phone
2.Take out SD Card
3.Vol+Power to Hboot
4.You will be at recovery mode.
5.Insert Sd Card back in
6.go to Mount
7.Mount your SD CARD(make sure USB is plugged in the computer)
8.Wait a little, your computer will have pop-up, if not go to My computer and click on your Sd Card.
9.Drag in a new fully downloaded rom into it.
10.Unmount the Sd Card
11.Happy Flashing!
sorry if this does not work, tried my best to help. This worked on me, so It should work for you as well.
another method is, if you got a Card Reader(micro chip goes in side a big chip) then put your ROM in their and delete the PD19 blah file, and skip steps 6 to 10
I forgot to delete the PG58IMG.zip & my device when entering recovery wants to update that zip file & I can't choose the recovery option. My device will not go past the HTC screen. I have ADB installed, how can I get into recovery again & re-flash a rom? I'm a newbie so please forgive me if this is already posted somewhere, I did search but I'm freaking out a little about the current state of my phone! Thanks for your help!
if you can still use the phone i'd go in and use the phone in usb storage mode and delete the file from the root directory
I can't get past the white HTC screen. I can get into recovery but it tries to install the PG58IMG.zip before I can key down to the recovery option.

Pretty simple, remove your memory card and boot your phone.
Or use a card reader to remove the file.
Cheers.
or do what he said lol
I just realized that but when trying to to read the card on my PC it ask to format? Won't that delete the files I need? I can get into recovery when taking the SD Card out but it needs the files to flash. Any help? Should I do a data/factory reset?

Hi,
No need to format.
Just delete the PG58IMG.zip.
I will not show me the files on the SD Card! It's asking me to format to use?
*FIXED* Thanks for all your help & not being a jerk about it!

why don't you just take the sdcard out, put into your computer/laptop and delete that file ?
Or take out the SD, boot into hboot, then recovery and delete the file.

I'd probably go with this route. But simply using common sense.. why can't you just take out your sd card and boot up your phone? You could probably wait until the phone is ready to go when it loads up OR insert the sd again while it's on the loading screens.. can you not do that?
I could be wrong, and someone correct me if I am! But I don't recall a phone requiring the sd card to boot up
So through trying to re-root my M8, I caused it to boot loop and decided to flash a new ROM. I have S-OFF and TWRP installed. Unfortunately, I tried installed it by naming the ROM 0P6IMG.zip and putting it on my sd card. That didn't work, but now I can't get into recovery because at the bootloader it instantly reads the zip and tries to install (and then makes me shut down). Is there a way to bypass the system trying to read/install 0P6IMG.zip so I can go into recovery and delete the file?
So far I've only found that holding power causes a shut down

Take the SD card out.
Use an SD card reader to rename it.
Or use another SD card until you have a ROM booted.
If you have a backup, you can restore that while SD card is out.
