Can you unroot?! - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i cant really find a direct answer to this so i decided to thread it. Can you Unroot??? for example im rooted and running OMJ but when 2.2 comes out officially i want to unroot and get the OTA. is this possible?

Flash the stock unaltered ROM.

Even easier, download and run the official RUU .exe file.

"Even easier, download and run the official RUU .exe file."
where exacly do you run this? On the PC? On the EVO?
Could you please be a little more specific.
Thanks

If you do the OTA you wont be able to root (for now)
use the older ruu

careful, if its an official you will lose root. and maybe your s off.
No details? So we have no idea what this is............
What is this
I am guessing it simply is the stock ROM with the OTA update applied. Please post further information on exactly what this ROM is.

This is just a Stock System ROM for the MyTouch 4G post-OTA. Nothing special but now hopefully with this theres a better/easy way to return our phones to True Factory state if needed thnx FootBall for this!
My gf's phone never got the ota 2.2.1 can I use this to update her phone?

So will I lose root if I flashed this? If so then this will kill a lot of time for me. I wouldn't need to unroot my device. I have a replacement coming and if I could unroot it just by flashing this then great.

Yes u will lose root and should reset back to S-ON. Just rename zip to PD15IMG.zip and boot into bootloader and it should find it and ask you to continue flashing it. Afterwards u should have a Original Stock MT4G as when u first got it.

The file in the original post will OVERWRITE EVERYTHING ON THE DEVICE and wipe it 100% clean.
If you merely want to apply the update to the phone but leave all of her personal data intact, use the file I've linked below, name it UPDATE.ZIP and apply it by following directions below.
http://www.filedropper.com/update1pd15img
THIS PROCEDURE ASSUMES SHE IS ON STOCK ROM AND NOT ROOTED
copy the file to the root of your sdcard. make sure it is named update.zip and not update.zip.zip. If you don't know what this means, let me know.
power off phone.
hold vol down + power until you get to a white screen.
use the volume buttons to select RECOVERY then click power.
EDIT:
tk192 said:
When u get to the ! with the triangle press volume up i believe to show u the options after use the volume keys to navigate to the update.zip and let the phone update and reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
when phone reboots you should be in a blue menu. Android oem recovery 2e or something like that.
select apply update.zip and stand back and let the phone do it's thing. DON'T TOUCH IT WHILE IT'S WORKING!!
When it reboots she should be on 2.2.1.
So basically this is just the PD15IMG we already have? Or will this replace bootloader, recovery and all thus eliminating the need to reverse gfree kinda like sappimg.nbh for the mytouch 3g?

I *THINK* gfree is a separate issue, but not sure. You'd have to ask the creator of that thread. The PD15IMG we already had was pre-ota 2.2, meaning we had to apply a second update.zip to get back to post-ota 2.2.1.
I think this new PD15IMG in the OP of this thread is post-ota so we can completely unroot in one step. I'm very stoked.

Me also eliminates many steps. Should be awesome also if it also reversed gfree.
Has anyone that followed the gfree process tried this to see if it will also reverse this.

Need to retrun back to Stock on HTC Desire HD(Indian)

I need help on reverting my Desire HD back to stock.
For this I understand I need to flash stock ROM (RUU). In this case I need to flash RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.720.5 which is the Indian version for DHD.
However, I am unable to find this RUU.
When installing a custom rom after having rooted my phone I did take a backup using rom manager. So I do have a backup of Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.720.5 which I can restore ... but I will still have root.
Question: Is there a way to remove root after I restore the backup and also remove ClockworkMod's recovery?
If the above is possible I can then update my phone to the latest firmware from HTC which I guess is 1.84.720.3.
Please help..

Shouldn't do, I once tried something similar and everything was okay? The OTA's installed as they should. The problem is the RRU you require hasn't actually been released which is a shame as I would expect Shipped-Roms to have a copy.

This is not the first time... I had a similar problem with HTC Hero, the Indian(Airtel base) rom was never released for download and when rooting the first time I did not take a backup of the original rom coz of which I was unable to update using the OTA.
So you saying I should go ahead with the unroot process and the OTA can then be applied? I really want to do this since I am flashing my phone every alternate day with a new rom released at XDA.. either 2.2.1 or 2.3.. need to stop doing that .. atleast for a few months till HTC releases a stable 2.3 sense rom for DHD.

vickyclewis.. thanks for the direct file download... will check it out once out of office.
Also the steps mentioned for flashing this.... I found the below in one of your post:
=====================================================
PD98IMG's cannot be flashed via CWM Recovery. Rename the zip to "PD98IMG.zip" and place in the root of your SD card (not in any folder).
Turn off your phone, disable HTC Fastboot if it's enabled, and power on holding Volume Down. This should start the Bootloader and it should read the PD98IMG.zip and flash it for you.
=====================================================
I guess you need to mention that the user has to get to the bootloader to install this...
Thanks once again..

How to move from Gingerbread with Gingervillian back to Froyo

I bought an HTC Desire, its rooted with Gingerbread Villian installed on 2.3.3. How do I go back to Froyo ot whatever stock HTC ROM the phone came with?

should work if you have a non-branded handset - else you might need a goldcard.
I haven't delved much into custom ROMs yet - but AFAIK you should be able to just run this straight over the top - it will remove root etc. right back to stock

Use some logic...the RUU file is an .exe, which is a Windows program. This would mean you have to run it on Windows. Then you'd be presented with instructions for the rest. Use a little common sense
why not try another custom rom . it's great fun

As above - it actually has full instructions while running the RUU.
but for basics you click something like 'I agree to return my phone back to the stock image, and confirm that I know it will wipe all user data etc. etc'
Then click accept to 'I agree that it must be above 50% battery life, and connected to the PC via USB cable' - then I think it verifies that it can find the phone, then says something about it will replace the current image with the stock image (2.29.405.5), then basically just says wait a couple of minutes, your phone reboots and flashes for a few minutes (I think with a big HTC logo and a progress bar), then when it's done it says DONE! and your phone reboots into the welcome wizard as if you turned it on for the first time...

update is just poor english - it means replace. - it'd also wipe the root etc.
But glad you got it working the easy way by just flashing a froyo over the gingerbread.

Download an RUU, pull the rom.zip out of it, take ur sd card outta ur phone, connect it to your computer, rename that rom.zip to PG32IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sd card. put sd card in phone, vol down and power to get into hboot mode, following instructions on the phone.

if you can't charge your phone, Radioshack's got a nifty recharger that can charge the battery (removed from the phone). I had to do the same thing, but I just ended up flashing with the stock build and left it rooted. You can also use dropbox to transfer the file

i did this just to do it and test works amazing and the guide is VERY detailed
Nevermind.....
So is this essentially a "unroot"? Just clarifying for future if ever need to do this as well.
If you truly want to return to stock, including the bootloader, etc, you can fire up the executable RUU from here. That is what I did to return it.

newbie here,
I have 2.3.4 which I will use a tool to downgrade the bootloader and use revolutionary (I promise to research more into this before I do anything ) but I just wanted to verify somethings.
What is the difference between the restore provided in the link first post by OP and the second more detailed post immediately after?
Will flashing the RUU reverse everything including S-OFF and my downgrading hboot (still learning what these terms mean.) Essentially, will it bring everything back the way it was when I first got the phone?

Hello, mayb. somebody from you will help me.
I have Wildfire S. Do Simlock Off and S=Off using XTC Clip, then want to pub clean firmware without t-mobile **** on it (splash, games).
I have got:
PG76IMG_Marvel_HTC_Europe_1.33.401.2_Radio_47.10.35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_185724_signed.zip
but when going to bootloader, when phone detect update, he only update 3 things, BOOTLOADER and two RADIO, and thats all. No system update etc.
I cannot find anything, how to change misc_version like on HTC Desire Z. Mayb. somebody will help me.

Ah, I see what you mean. Isn't that normal, seeing as how you're just flashing stock and not actually upgrading your firmware.
Sent from a mysterious mobile device.
Yes, this is why Im looking some metode to change misc version to cheat OS that this file will upgrade whole system and all elements are in newer version then that on the phone.
I have do this couple times in my Desire Z using misc_version file, but this is not working on this phone.
Any ideas?
I got root on it and can execute root commands on adb shell, so only need to know what to change.

There is no possible to put firmware prepared as a ZIPed ISO images (strictly for bootloader) to put from recovery.

The worst thing is... that I put Custom recovery, then apply custop rom (G1320110824XDA.zip) from forum, and when right now want to put stock rom from recovery, stil updating BOOTLOADE and RADIOs, nothing else.
Will try some other thing...
Done!
I have download
RUU_Marvel_HTC_Europe_1.30.401.0_Radio_47.10.35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_183799_signed.exe
from forum, extract rom.zip, rename, put on sd and update from recovery, and all goes well!
Probobly the
PG76IMG_Marvel_HTC_Europe_1.33.401.2_Radio_47.10.35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_185724_signed.zip
from forum got some bug on it, and recovery dont recognize it correctly.
Just to be sure...
After putting 1.30 rom, I try to put 1.33 on update in recovery, and also, only BOOTLOADER and RADIOs got updated.
So, if you want to debrand, you need to use 1.30, then try to update your system over air (OTA) to newest version. I think that will be easier.
