Un-Root from full nand root?

Can someone outline how I unroot (for insurance) I want to get it back to stock in case I have to take it in. Do I just have to flash the stock RUU?
Now that we have full NAND root, how do I unroot from that?

run the stock Ruu like just like the hero

Yep just run the stock 1.32.651.6 RUU I did your Link searching for ya just plug in your phone and run it.

Thank you very much!

seems like a simple process..but Im new to android phones.
Do you run this .exe on the phone? or connected to USB to PC. Not that I will be wanting to un-root anytime soon but it might be good to know down the line.. thanks..

.exe will always run from windows computer. android is linux based, no .exe file will run on the android phone.
for the RUU .exe follow the directions on your windows computer, it will guide you through the process, will need USB cable.

Is it possible to flash it from the phone, and not need a windows computer?

Re: Un-Root
Not with a exe. I'm not sure how the architecture is built for the phobe, but u don't see why flashing a ruu from SD wouldn't work if one were built that way.

All a Ruu is a wrapper. The Ruu just checkes a few things then executes scripts. its kinda just like an automatics ADB.

If you run the EXE is extracts a bunch of files including a ROM.zip. You could probably copy that to your phone and install it from there using the recovery firmware.

I'm trying to restore using this method. The phone is definitely recognize by the software, (it shows the current .1 image version) it jumps to the black HTC screen then sits at "waiting for bootloader" then times out with a ERROR 171 "cannot connect to your android phone" message. Any suggestions? If I run adb devices command the phone is recognized. Any suggestions?
Edit: It seems on the 4th try it worked. At least the updating percentage is moving up.
Why can't a basic rooted rom with recovery be created using this method. That would really be a "1 click" root.

i've seen it posted on here, if you take the rom.zip which comes inside the ruu .exe and put it on the root of the sdcard, rename it PC36IMG.zip and boot into the bootloader, vold down + pwr, it will flash the phone w/o needing a computer.
i haven't personally tested it, so use at your own risk.

When un-rooting, do you need to have the HTC drivers installed on your Windows machine? What mode (charge, disk mount, etc) does the EVO have to be in when you connect it via USB? Does HTC sync have to be installed or the Android SDK?

Phone should be fully charged. Really you just need enough juice to ensure it doesn't crap out during the flash process (could brick your phone).
I don't believe you need the HTC drivers, but every time I've run a ruu they were already installed on my machine, so I don't know.
Disk mount mode won't matter because the ruu will restart the phone before it has its way with it.
sync and sdk don't matter, the ruu is a self contained utility that issues adb commands to your phone.
Alternatively the ruu can be "run" by putting the proper file on the root of your sd card and powering your phone on with your volume down button pushed in.

To make the change back
I have done it 2x's and this worked both times. I tried to install the original Sprint Rom with the file provided here. Each time it stopped at the black HTC screen. All that needs to be done is to re-try the install of the original sprint Rom when it is at the black HTC screen. When the installation program says it can't complete and closes (wait for that to happen) just double click on the install program again (while you are at the black HTC screen (don't unplug from your computer)). When you try the install the second time at the black HTC screen, a green progres bar shows up on said screen and will show you the install progress. Hope this helps

Thanks guys! I was trying to mount the disk, then install HTC sync, etc. Leaving it on the black screen seemed to make the difference for whatever reason...

so the first part of the commands using fastboot you don't do from adb shell. when you get the phone into fastboot, attach to your computer, you then open command prompt on computer and navigate directories until you are in the android sdk tools folder on your computer wherever it is (most people it is somewhere like c:/android-sdk-windows/tools/)
THEN you type
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
no adb shell.
most people have installed adb in such a way that they can access it's tools from any directory. however, at least on my computer, fastboot commands will only work from within the android tools folder where fastboot is located.
hope this helps.

how do i transfer the files for the second part of the usb is broken?
I was following the one that has pic by pic, and got to the point where pc36 wouldn't work. Saw that with the newest version this method wouldn't work. Went to the tutorial for that workaround and started following that. I think it got mixed up in there and thought i had nand unlocked it. Went to install the new radio, checked the system info and it wasnt the new one and started to get the problems.
Think it is rooted though because i get the # in adb shell.
How does one check to see if they did unlock nand, besides of the problem causing method i did?

I believe i ****ed up the custom recovery part. When I would load custom recovery it would flicker back and forth to the stock recovery, dont know if thats normal.

update: with more searching i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7136621&postcount=128 to use a update to fix the usb.
I did this and at least now it is charging, still not connecting to computer though it will charge through comp.
Can i flash back to the stock rom now? Will that fix it? How do i flash the stock rom?

Laughed at the thread title. Is the phone messed up, or the girlfriend? Gotta love misplaced modifiers.

If in fact you are rooted, you can use this method. It will put you back to "stock" with root and all the latest updates. If your computer wont mount your phone, you may have to get a micro sd card reader and plug it directly to your usb on your computer to download the files you need. Just make sure the phone is off or you unmount the sd in settings before you remove it. Or you can download them from your phone's browser, but you'll need a file manager to move the files to the root of your sd. If that wont work, your sd card might be corrupted.

[Q] Cannot Downgrade Hboot 1.01.0002 to 1.01.0001

Hello,
I'm new to the forums, and have only just recently got a HTC Wildfire A3333 running 2.2.1.
I have tried to use " [GUIDE] Downgrade to HTC Froyo WWE for AlphaRevX (HBOOT 1.01.0001) " to downgrade the h boot as to start to gain root.
But when I have followed the instructions, it appears to complete ok, but when I reboot in to the system menu, it still shows as .002 hboot and does not install the rom supplied.
any help would be great
EDIT: IT TOLD ME I HAD SUCCESSFULLY CREATED GOLD CARD
GlennBrownie

same goes with me mate, i got the gold card and then i insert it, it all goes but when the cmd closes it still shows hboot 1.01.002

This happened to me on a Telstra wildfire (A3335). if you make it so the CMD window doesn’t close (I used an alternative shell) you will see that it actually gets some error before closing, which is why it doesn’t actually change the hboot.
I must have done it 20 times before I got it to work. I can't remember what I did differently the time I made it work, but it was something to do with which usb mode the phone was in for each step, and when I decided to change it from one mode to the other. Basically trying to make it so the phone wouldn’t say “preparing SD card” after I had made the goldcard.
Worst part was when I finally downgraded my Hboot, alphrev X still wouldn’t work for me. Continued to get the error of “Retrieving Caroline from certain doom...” and "mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00000000" I've since given up..

okays, thanks for the help, ill try that, but with alpharevx the problem they are tring to fix is the part where you need to restart into fastboot the second time, so in this case, ill give that a try. the thing is that im useing windows 7 enterprise, i have the hboot drivers all installed and etc, i used the intructions given to me and everyone else where you have to make the gold card. in that intruction it stated to put the sd card into the usb or sd port, the thing i did was switch my phone to mount the SD card and create it via there, i think the part where we all went wrong is unmounted it after we finished making the sd card. so try that, and with your problem i tghink you need to try and run the program in ADMIN mode (right click and run as admin) and then try and get the HBOOT drivers from Unrevoked installed. give that a try and hope it all works out
cheers

Well I managed to get step2.bat to run in a cmd so that it stayed open,
it came up with "FAILED <remote: 42 custom id check fail>".
when HTC booted in to bootloader it still showed same h.boot (.0002)
Please see attached screenshot.

my question is, when i run alpharevx, it asks me for the beta key, note that it doesnt show my device name or anything like how i did it before i downgraded, any ideas why? and does anyone have a beta key for me to use? because the one i got with my phone when i entered it in said it was incorrect, when before before i downgraded it worked perfectly fine (except the rotting part).

what Beta key, I dont recall one?

To get a new beta key just follow this link, click download and then enter your phone's SN.

If it doesn’t show your device properly just reboot your phone. Basically every time the program fails it won’t show your device properly until you reboot again (This will also fix the issue where it thinks you have the wrong beta key). People suggesting to go get a new beta key have no idea. Have they not noticed that it doesn’t matter which HBoot version you select on the site you still get the same key based on your serial number.

yes, i used mt wildfire SN and i use the code it gives me still getting the same problem,

done it twice and it still come up with success message?
even did it through hex editor....

I tried to do it again to show screenshots.
firstly, I ran step one and it says "cannot stat" followed by file name and says "no such file or directory". see image1.jpg
I then checked the buzzdowngrade folder, and all files are there. see image4.jpg
I then attempted the goldcard, and I clicked get cid, and it loaded a CID with a lot of 0's in it so I dont think its showing correct CID, possibly hiding real CID?
image2.jpg
when I clicked patch MMC, it came up with an error message. see image3.jpg

Have you installed the HTC driver 3.0.0.007. If not, install it first before even going with step1.
And regarding step2, creating a working gold card is important. If you still get custom id errors, try with a different memory card. And run the gold card tool as administrator. And in that you will see mmc0 and mmc1 options. Try creating with the other if one fails.

Just downgraded and i think i know what is the problem.
You have to change the connection status from charge only to Mass storage
then click refresh and the memory card will be available.
HTC MMC : select you sd card.
And now patch.

right, got an update.
managed to succeed with the dmisc.img and others that failed - thanks to Mattyyey, cheers Matt
We then got to flashing the rom and it failed, any suggestions?
we recreated the gold card and formated the microSD card and patched and it told us that it had succeeded.

its probably your fake SD card! I was able to run the commands in step 1 and 2 from the cmd, all but the final ROM flash. I think after we create it we should confirm its been put on the SD card via hex workshop.... I did think of this last night but I was getting tired and you dont have it installed. I suspect its just the goldcard isn't done, everything else works when typed manually into cmd.
Unless anyone else has another reason for the custom ID check failing?

MATTYYEY was correct, it was due to fake microSD card, completed gold card with authentic SD card and it worked.

Wildfire S T-Mobile...can't seem to root...help?

Got the device today, and already came with the bootloader unlocked and S-On...but every method I've tried just doesn't work - even temporary root.
Here's the info on the phone:
-T-Mobile Wildfire S (Marvel PVT) running 2.3.5
-Firmware - 2.17.531.1
-HBOOT - 1.08.0099
Any driver files I've seen are either dead links or "not available in my country" (I'm in the USA), but I'm almost positive I have the appropriate drivers on my Win7 64-bit install, since anything I've had to do on my G2 was problem-free.
Here's what I've tried, all in both "charge only" and "HTC sync" mode, with HTC sync disabled/not running on the PC:
-SuperOneClick - freezes at step #7
-Gingerbreak - endlessly "works" and never accomplishes anything
-Flashing anything via the bootloader fails, either due to not being the "right" image (picks up and starts loading/installing, but then it seems like the file is corrupt and it's aborted - and I've tried multiple files/versions) or failing due to some Model ID mismatch or something
-Flashing a recovery through fastboot (from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503393) seems to have bricked my recovery
-Anything else in that guide (basically anything zergRush) fails to copy anything over to /system or /sbin or whatever even though it says it successfully rooted at the end
-The temporary root procedure gives me some random error about drivers in the middle of the process and fails
I'm at my wits end here - I just don't know what I'm doing wrong, if anything. If I had known the Wildfire S would be such a PITA just to root, I probably wouldn't have gotten it and saved up for something else...at least I still have my G2 =/

Tacoroot

I had a problem when entering the command promts, on the first computer I tried. I would freeze the computer. After switching to a new computer everything worked okay, except I couldn't flash the last radio zip. Nevertheless I was able able to complete the process and use revolutionary. Got MROM installed and everything appears to be working fine. No idea why my computer was freezing during the tacoroot process.

Windows OS running - HTC drivers properly installed ?? Antivirus & firewall temporary disabled (as it could be blocking access) ??
Check MD5's for the various files downloaded ? Usin the OEM micro-usb cable or generic (unlikely, but just check to eliminate it) and try using a different usb port to run the installation? Outdated Android toolkits/adb loaded & need to be renewed to latest ones?
More specifics would help - any error or pop-up messages or logs ??
(BTW, I just used tacoroot earlier this week to "rescue" a semi-bricked DI2 after RUU, rooted it again (adb - manually) with S-Off and the device is good as new, back on a custom Sense rom again after calling into VZW first (complicated story ...)

You don't flash the radio. you put the file on your sd card with a specific name, can't recall it but lots of references to it, you'll find it no problem, and then you go into the bootloader. It'll automatically install the new radio. don't forget to wipe, and change the file name.

PG32IMG.zip is what it needs to be named, and when he says wipe you need to wipe dalvik cache and cache... o yeah, and after your done and booted hp make sure to use a file manager and delete the file off your sd card or it will try to keep reinstalling it
