Unrevoked forever + radio update

Can radios be flashed with UF at anytime now with an update.zip?
Also where is a zip file for the 2.15 radio or is there anyone willing to share? It's not the same as the evo's is it?

To flash:
1. Place PB31IMG.zip to root of SD card
2. Power down phone
3. Press volume down and power at same time
4. It will ask to update...press volume UP for yes
5. It will ask for reboot...press volume UP for yes
Once done...enjoy.

i thought with S-OFF, we can flash radio with CWM? also, do i just rename the radio OTA to PB31IMG(.zip)?
with s-off, i can flash the radio anytime i want with any rom i want? without going back to the unroot stock rom?

It already saves it as PB31IMG.zip....so just move it to root and go on with process.

That's for the splash and does not update radio. I've installed that and the update.zip and still have 2.05

He said the thread, not the wiki.

I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong, i have the pb31img.zip(radio update) on root of sd did the whole power down and power on with volume(down) and when i get to hboot it has
fastboot
recovery
clear storage
simlock
after 2 seconds or so it does this:
sd checking...
loading...pb31diag.zip
no image
loading...pb31diag.nbh
no image or wrong image
loading...pb31img.zip
no image
loading...pb31img.nbh
no image or wrong image
so does anyone know what the problem is?

Make sure the sdcard is formatted as fat32 and that the zip name is exactly "PB32IMG.zip", exact casing and make sure also that its not .zip.zip

OK i just reformatted the sd card to FAT32 and the file i downloaded was PB31IMG, i don't have an extra .zip, that's common mistake for me to do so it was first thing to check. ok so that fixed it. i must not have had it formatted correctly, its whatever it was stock
edit: mrozzeh and the rest of the unrevoked team, i would like to say thank you, and thanks for the personal help too.

Anytime. (10 characters blah)

Hold the optical pad and the power button...not the vol down key and give it a shot

Radio update isn't working for me. Saved PB31IMG.zip to the root of my FAT32formatted SD card, rebooted, it found the PB31IMG.zip file, went though the loading process, got the point where it said "checking" and then went back to the menu without loading the update. I've downloaded the radio update twice with the same results. I currently have the 2.05.00.06.11 radio but have not yet installed s -off. Do I need to do that first?
Any other suggestions?
EDIT: Nevermind, I installed the unrevoked forever s -off patch and the radio update seems to be installing now.
EDIT 2: Radio update updates kernal to .32 correct?

Question for anybody that can answer this can we flash any rom from another phone and it will work with the Incredible after we done this to our phone. Thanks.

What just happened to Shadowmite's Unrevoked Forever post in Development. It disappeared?

I think I broke my O2X...help?

Hello! New member here so please excuse me if I'm posting to the wrong forum or anything like that.
Not to take long of your time, I can't get my phone to boot. It shows the 2 LG logos and won't proceed beyond that. So I need to know if there's a way to flash a ROM and a Recovery with it like that.
Thanks for the help.

Can you access CWM? Try to pull out the battery, put it in, press power button + volume down at the same time. Wait til the LG logo appears and release it.

I guess you need to flash the stock ROM by using SmartFlashTool. Its easy to use. There's a thread that has simple instructions.

Really?! That's great to know.
Recovery is v5.0.2.7
ETA: I flashed the ROM I had on before all that mess started and now my phone is working again. I'm not sure if things went awry because AOKP's last build was screwed or because I removed the SDcard before flashing in an attempt to force the phone to use the 5GB of internal memory that has been sitting useless since I got the device.
can't I flash the last owaine version I used?

It is.
I wiped every thing before flashing the ROM and I have a complete copy of all the files I had on the SDcard saved on my PC. As soon as it finishes charging I'll move the TB files back to the SDcard and see if I can restore my apps. Unfortunately, I have to redo my system settings by hand. But I don't really mind.
Thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it.

That's cause you didn't follow all the steps.. When you flash higher versions, it has to repartition. Therefor a couple flashes are needed. If coming from gb and going up to 10.2 or 10.3, you'll have to flash cm7 first and then make your way to cm10.2, once again by flashing twice to rewrite the partition.
All that is clearly mentioned in the instructions. Just gotta take the time to read and understand it.

As for your sd card, that could be another problem. It might've gone bad.

i know the repartitioning thing but not from this phone. trust me if it was clear in the instructions i would have done it 4-5 roms iv tried and none of them have this instruction i appreciate your resonse though but onto a solution. i think since it refuses to mount the sdcard smtn went wrong trying to install cm10.2 though they all faild. so im guessing my safest bet to be to use odin to load a new rom or something advice there or from that of your experince with the device would be much appreciated.

I'd probably start fresh at this point. Flash Odin kk4 without bootloaders and see if boots up correctly. Also try your sd card. From there you can flash korn kernel using odin 1.87 and go back up to whichever ROM you want using their full instructions.

explain somethings to me plz and thanks. What the layout of this phone partition table? does it have a bootloader like on htc?
the kernel seems to be packaged with cwm tho i doubt it is this true on all occasions?not being able to flash a rom due to the kernel mismatch is unheard of by me atleast it would flash then just not work can u explain what you think was the problem i was on cm10 btw.
korm kernel gonna research that but i might get anseers from you first its a kernel for what gb??
sorry am reallly blank on this phone

download links or queries to google would be a great help here dont wanna make a bad situation worst

In that case, flash the first link I gave you. Which is the non-bootloaders version.
Usually, the older one clicks flashes the bootloaders.

No OS installed - but can boot to Safestrap

I somehow screwed up a flash and now I have no OS installed but I can boot to Safestrap recovery. Any ideas on how to get the OS loaded? I'm going to see if I have an micro SD to SD converter so I can load the OS there and try to flash via external SD. Is there another way? Thanks!

I had the same issue, and tried flashing multiple times via the external SD. Unfortunately, given that I got to your current situation by wiping everything but the external SD, it still wouldn't work. I flashed multiple times, but it always just said that it couldn't mount /data and /system. I ended up doing the MJ5 Restore found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715

The home file is all 4 files in 1. Just use the 4 individual files to install original NC2 firmware and wipe at the same time. Ignore the home file.

Yes that would be correct. Using the home file is like using all 4 files only the home file doesn't wipe before installing. It installs firmware like an ota update would. I thought using the 4 files would reset you, and give you a clean install.

I found the fix bro THANK ME I have the same problem and I stumbled to this

see if you can fix it using the link in the above post if not let me know and I will back up my stock ATT KK 4.4.2 NC2 in safe strap after factory reset and I can send it to you. You can flash that and see if that works.
And what I understand is you started from stock 4.4.2 NC2 and than you towel root than installed SU and busybox and than installed the SS . After you went into SS, did you wipe the stock rom slot? Can you please explain in detail including each step so we know.

So , I have tried every version of TWRP I can find Including PHILZ , and none of them will open zips to flash everything fails,Also my nandroid backups fail to flash as well after i do a factory reset........ md5s are fine.. Ive also made sure they aren't ZIP.ZIP.. Ive done a fairly extensive search to no avail.Has anyone come across this problem? .. frustrating... Im on the hk firmware S-off rooted

In twrp settings did you make sure that Theme testing isn't on.. Even So on that screen press default settings tab and reset twrp flashing settings... Just in case you have a sticky setting..

ya tried that too .. unfortunately it didn't work..... i don't think its a TWRP only problem because PHILZ wont work either .. the recovery just wont open any zips

A while back on a different device i had the same issue. I relocked the bootloader, and then went through the whole process of unlocking again (at htc-dev) reflashed the recovery did fastboot erase cache and reinstalled SU. was kind of a hassle but it worked. Worth a shot maybe.

actually makes a certain amount of sense .. it might be a bootloader problem ,.. I think im going to ruu.. start over and if that doesnt work i will definitely give that a shot... THANKS!!!...

Your welcome, i didnt go as far as an RUU, Just relocked the bootloader and did the unlock process over. but if you want to go all the way back i dont see any harm in it. Glad i was able to help man

Or you can delete your TWRP folder from sdcard and reflash recovery...that has helped me before

Also what are you trying to flash somethings are not meant to be flashed in recovery some are fast boot/bootloader flash setups

Yeah that is because by default the m8 has external sdcard r/w protection I believe. So yeah moving it could work
