Root PH98IMG.img

As a matter of fact, it is bad to keep it on your SD card because if you boot into Fastboot, Fastboot will automatically look for it and reapply it which can cause problems such as a boot loop. It is better to rename it if you think you still want it.
 
Yeah I like to keep them stored on the PC for potential use in the future but I prefer not having them on the card. As mentioned, you can end up with an inadvertant flash. Although you technically should have to press volume up to force the load, its not at all impossible that it could happen by accident.
 
Sounds good, thanks. I've been running into a lot of problems lately flashing ROMs, and that might have been why. I just deleted it.
 
if you do find a reason to store it on the sd,just rename it,or hide it inside a folder. back before i grew to hate PxxxIMG files,i used to keep some radios and recoveries hidden on the SD card of my thunderbolt. but i have phone ADD and am different than most people :eek: :D

as was said,there is little chance youd need it "on the go" with your rezound,especially with the limitations of htcdev and recovery.
 
Thanks. I do have another question and figure ill ask it in this thread since it has to do with why I might have had trouble flashing and want to fully understand this....

I was on older firmware and when installing CleanRom I used the patch to update. At this point, can I consider my firmware updated? Or will a factory reset wipe bring the phone back to old firmware, and I flash another ROM that needs a patch will I have to use it?

the patch is not updating your firmware. it is simply making a few changes within the rom to make it function with the old firmware. so no,your firmware is not updated,its still the old that you had before(2.11 hboot and everything that matches it if you were on 2.01.605.11)

as such,yes,if you flash another ICS rom that needs the patch,youll need to flash the patch again. :)

youll have to physically boot to hboot or fastboot and youll see the version number there. :)

2.11.0000 is for current GB(2.01.605.11)
2.10.0000 is prior GB
2.05.0000 is release GB

2.2x.0000 are ICS hboots,the most current leak being 2.25.0000

After I asked that I realized that's probably where it was located. I loaded another nandroid backup and checked it, I'm on 2.11 running business ICS. Is this going to be a problem?
