In step 4 it sees my PB31IMG.zip file and tries to load it but gives an error saying "main version is older. update fail"
phone has never been rooted, just an unlocked boot loader via the official HTC method still with s-on. any suggestions?
Edit: my goal here is to root the phone so i can load Nils Business GingerSense 3.5 ROM
what i have learned from htcdev and
unlocked s-on hboots,is that it is now important what information is on the "android info" text document that is contained within the PB31IMG file. basically,the "mainver" number in the info file,cannot be lower than what the actual main version is on your phone. youre on gingerbread,and the PB31IMG prolly contains a randomly selected android info file with a lower mainver than that,preventing the flash.
in order to make the PB31IMG flsh with htcdev s-on,youll need to:
-follow all rules for PB31IMG files(FAT32 sd,properly named file,root of sd card)
-check your main version in fastboot via the following fastboot command :
fastboot getvar all and look for the "version-main" number in the resulting outout.
-unzip PB31IMG and edit your text doccument to this same number or higher
-rezip with the new text document.
it should work then.
however,the easier way is to simply remove the recovery image from the PB31IMG file and place it into the folder you used to htcdev unlock. change to that directory and put your phone in fastboot,like when you unlocked.
permanently flash your recovery with this command:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery name>.img
example:
fastboot flash recovery clockwork-recovery-inc-5.0.2.0.img
continue on with iowas directions at step 6.
using "fastboot flash" elimiates finicky sd cards,android info files,and improperly named files completely from the equation
edit: after having messed with an s-on
unlocked hboot,i think i will put together an htcdev specific guide for the few folks that want to do it this way. ill try and get it up later this eveing
