You need not get rid of the .zip....Just rename it PC36IMG.zip...dont add an extra .zip...windows will hide .zip extensions....

i need quick answers
sorry to be annoying
look at the 2 posts above yours
when you plugged your phone into your computer, do you have an option that pops up on your phone to "mount as disk drive"?i did everything but when i drag it to the removeable disk it says:
Please insert disc into Removable Disc (G
Did you download the correct .zip for your software version?
There are 2 versions of it. One for version 4.67.651.1 and one for version 5.07.651.1
I learned from the best! Thanks for guiding me and hovering around here guys.
As in, you tried both .zips? And you got the same error?
What software version do you have?
I know you said you have version 2.3.5 software but that is Android software version....
What is (cant think of the word) your other version.?
Edit:system software....that's the word
o.k..good,
Just download the file for that version which I assume you did.
And when you booted your phone into bootloader, it gave you the "main version is older" message?
hmm..odd ..stand by a minute k?

No, he unlocked his bootloader with htcdev.
Now he is trying to install a custom recovery from the guide---the guide at the beginning.
No RX. He needs to use the 5.07 version. It is the one that the captain made to use with the latest version. Not sure why it is saying older version though.
Maybe the old pc36img file is still on the card?

I'd personally try the fastboot method
1.download amon ra 2.3
2.extract the file and then go into and move recovery.img file into the android folder you created when unlocking your bootloader.
3.on your phone after you have unlocked your phone you should be in the bootloader menu screen, select the fastboot option
4.on your computer press and hold shift while right clicking the android folder.
5.select open command window here option (windows 7)
6.enter command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
congrats!!!!!! you have just installed amon ra 2.3
1.download amon ra 2.3

hmmm, good point...his bootloader may have picked up the first, wrong .zip...but then again, he would have gotten some kind of other error after renaming the correct .zip and trying to transfer that to sd card if one was already on there.
Unless he said yes to "keep both copies"...
@imd34...perhaps delete both pc36img zips, download/rename the correct .zip for your version and try again?
o.k..plug your phone into your computer,mount as disk drive, find 1 or 2 pc36img files and delete them off of sd card.
Download, if you have to again, the correct .zip for your 5.0.xxx version
Rename it again, transfer to sd card like you did before....
Now you should have 1 file named PC36IMG.zip on your sd card.
Unmount phone..unplug phone
then power off blah blah blah, you know what to do.....
NICE!!! Thats great...You are just about done!
on to step 3 now!
