ok lets try this a lil differently.

-open up PD98IMG_ace_recovery_ext_4.zip and modify the android info text document as described above,and rezip it.
-place PD98IMG_ace_recovery_ext_4.zip ito your adb/fastboot folder
-open a cmd window,and boot the phone to fastboot(adb reboot bootloader from the booted OS,or just choose 'fastbooot' from the hboot menu)
-once in fastboot,flash PD98IMG_ace_recovery_ext_4.zip with these commands:
fastboot devices

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip PD98IMG_ace_recovery_ext_4.zip

when it finished flashing(ignore the green bar on the phone. look for 'ok...' in cmd window)

fastboot reboot

you should now be able to get to recovery via:
-adb reboot recovery
-select recovery from hboot menu

if you get any errors diring the flash zip part,let me see a copy of your cmd window,a screen shot of your modified android info document,and a screen shot of your adb/fastboot folder.

this has worked for lots of other folks,so it should work for you as well :)
 
his is the result:

what i wrong?
 
Something is wrong with your modified text document. If you don't figure it out by later this evening, I will modify one, tested on my phone, and upload it for you :)
 
I've seen that in hboot is as it looking for a file PD98IAG.nbh and than PD98IMG.zip, it's possible?following by no loading
come out for a few second and desappeared
 
That writing is normal. Hboot always looks for those files when you boot to it.

In order for your file to flash, we need to figure out what is wrong with your Android info document
 
something like this:
SD cheking....
Loading...[PD98DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PD98DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PD98IMG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PD98IMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
but in my sd there isn't a file like this

Correct. That is normal hboot behavior. It will always look for those files, and does not mean anything.
 
Main version should not matter. But you are welcome to change it just to make sure. Tried changing it to 1.00.000.0 :)
 
Try taking a screenshot of the document with your computer. Otherwise, I can get one working for you later this evening. :)
 
all this has become a fight between me and the phone.
Please help me to kill this evil Monster.
We have to win ... There must be a solution, or no?

looking a lil closer,i believe the prollem is the extra spacing that you have. compare to the one ive attached,and youll see no spacing in mine,between the model number and cidnum,and between the main version,and hboot preupdate.

make your android info document look like that(delete the extra spaces),save it,and re-zip it up with the recovery image. hopefully that will get it for you.

if not,i still will make one for you later(still at work) :)

i havent forgotten about you... i am having some prollems duplicating your failures. i have changed my cid to match yours,and have had no prollems flashing PD98IMG_ace_recovery_ext_4.zip no matter what i do to the android info document. ive change the model id,added spaces,and even changed hboots. it flashes just fine every time. :mad:

i have even downgraded my entire build to match yours,and it flashes just fine every time.

have to go out for a bit,but ill see ifn i can figure something out when i get back.

edit:

sucess! i have duplicated your failures :D
 
ok,so i had a huge,huuuuuuge brain cramp. i completely forgot the sd card in my phone was a gold card,thus eliminating all cid/model checks,much like supercid. doh! *smacks forhead*

so ive duplicated your failures,modified a text document,and uploaded a new recovery zip file. i believe it will work now. i got it to work on my phone with the different cid. mine is a different model id, so now the modified one(for your phone) wont work,so i believe it is correct :p

so heres what we will do:

download this,and use it instead of your sdk(just want to make sure your tools are current): miniadb_v1031.zip

just extract it,put it on the root of c,and cd to it:

cd c:\miniadb_v1031

then download ext 4 recovery,this time this one:
http://www.mediafire.com/?7o3rpet9bxnx5j6
put the zip file into miniadb_v1031

run the following:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot devices

md5sums PD98IMG-ace-ext4-cidORANG001.zip

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip PD98IMG-ace-ext4-cidORANG001.zip

fastboot reboot

if it does not work,paste the entire output from all these commands. but... i believe it will work this time :)


this code is just so you can see i was able to get your same errors,its not important other than that
