sorry to hear that, so what shipped rom did you try to install. from here?
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
For about two weeks I've been reading on the forum trying to figure out how to go back to stock. I try everything and was getting error code from not connected to different boot loader. Then I finally figure it out. Try this and let me know if it work cause it work for me.
First go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701835&highlight=Engineering+SPL and download all the files in the beginning post and follow the instruction all the way up into it ask you to
"- once booted into Android put the recovery.img linked above on the root of you sdcard"
Stop and don't do this part.
Now you want to use http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/ RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed.exe file to unroot and be back to an older ver. and completely stock. At this point of running the exe. file you shouldn't get any error code and should fully execute and install a unrooted stock rom. Remember to have the latest HTC drivers also. If you need help pm me I have all file needed if you can't find them but most of them are located on the link post. Sorry for the quick post.
thank you i will try
hey i cant get couple of the files, i need the first file and the last file. thank you

nice write up. after doing this did you happen to notice whether your pri was 1.34 or 1.40?
The PRI doesn't change. Don't know why but it doesn't install the latest 1.4ver.. Also soon as you go back to stock rom its a good ideal to do a factory reset in your settings. I hope this was helpful.
do you need to unroot to return your phone or what?
This worked for me
There is a signed shipped RUU update that will bring you back to stock on this site somewhere I don't remember exactly where i found it but you can do a google search for stock ruu rom htc evo and it should come up, after download connect you evo to the computer usb and select just charge, and then run the exe program ruu update, when i did it said that if failed the first time, and the phone was stuck, i just clicked exit to quit from the application, unplugged the phone from usb and the white bootloader screen should show, i then plugged the phone back into the computer and ran the program again and it picked up where it left off perfectly. After the update is done you can go to system update and get the ota update of 1.47 this will kill your root though, good luck
After the RUU it will still remain at bootloader 1.34_003 because the PRI 1.40_003 is not in the RUU. We will need to wait and hopefully it will come with the Froyo build. But take in account that with 1.40_003 you can not do custom roms.

I have tried every method out there to unroot my phone. not a noob!
none of the 3 ruu work for me...
i also tried flashing the p36img.zip to try the ruu again but i get : main file is older .
the ruu basically gets into bootloader mode and the i get: bootloader version error.. error[140]
im getting a replacement phone and i have 14 days left to return this phone...
i would appreciate any sugestions.....
I think this will work, I was half rooted, and wanted to go back and this worked.
It is the stock shipped rom that came with the EVO, it is an .exe so it runs on your computer like an updater would and it will basically update your phone, flash image, ruu, and all that stuff, not that I know what that is haha, but run it and give it a shot and it should bring u to stock.
If this this doesnt work, here are links to other Stock roms, but some have updates, so if one doesn't work the others should

can someone help with the proper files that i need to complete this unroot.
right now the device will only keep rebooting. i tried re-flshing my damage control 3.5 rom but its not working.
I think i need to get the device up and running before i can try any other unroot options. i can still get to the clockwork recoveryv2.0.1.3
thanks
I was able to get the device back up and running. It is still rooted. I got it back to its original root state by toastcfh.
I still can't get to non root state.
any help?
search the forums for "RUU" and go run that. it will bring you back to stock. there are tons of threads, please please search before posting.
I have tried 4 Ruu files. None work. They keep giving errors. I've read through many threads. The last change i can think of is to get the zip file from out of the ruu(s) but i dont know how to extract them. They extract as .cab files not .zip files.
Additionally
my image version is apparently 1.47.651.1
does anyone else have any suggestions?
when using the ruu.exe(s) i get to the sending signature phase and after a few seconds i get the error "Error[140]: Bootloader version error"

It's always going to have root. What you want is root access. If you don't have a root user, you won't have anything.
Hi guys,
I own a Fastweb branded desire and back key isn't working anymore.
So I'm tring to restore the branded official rom for warranty.
I got s-off and root and my gold card is in.
I've flashed the old modaco r6 rom to avoid main version is older and flashed downgrade hboot(alpharev) too.
When I start the ruu hboot 0.75 and old radio are flashed properly, but I still have custom splash and cwm recovery also system is untouched.
Ruu stops with error 140 bootloader problem.
I'm still able to flash custom roms and I can s-off again, but I really don't know what to do.
Any help?
Thanks.
Best regards.

Sorry mate, is there a way to change section?
jussy,
I had exactly the same problem so I'll answer even tho this is the wrong thread. You have to start first by extracting the zip file from the RUU. Run the RUU until it gets to the first screen then leave it there (don't close it).
Go to Start -> Run and type %temp%.
Find the temporary folder folder that's just been created (sort based on date) and find a file called 'rom.zip'. Copy this file into another location and close the RUU.

Thanks for replay.
I've extracted rom.zip and renamed to PB99IMG.zip. tried to flash it in fastboot.
Flash process start but stops before finishing leave me in the same situation as before. If I want to flash it again gives me main version is older.
I've s-off it 10 times today and made many try.
EDIT: I've also tried to flash via fastboot commander the .img files in rom.zip but after that I could only access fastboot.
Now I've flash a generic ruu to make it boot.
Tbh mate I'm not sure how to change it lol.. mayb delete and repost in q&a..

Dude, don't flash the zip, just put it in the root of your SD, then switch phone off, hold vol down button and reboot into recovery, your phone will recognize the pb99img.zip and some options should come up. Follow the on screen instructions and you should be unrooted in 15 mins max.

Sorry for my bad english but what you said is what I've done.
1-root and s-off.
2-flash downgrade hboot(alpharev).
3-put PB99IMG.zip (extract as said from my branded ruu) on sd card root.
4-boot power + vol down.
5-It starts, step 1 goes well then at the end of step 2 screen became black and came back with 0.75 hboot s-on and if I try again it gives me main version is older.
So I can only reboot, reflash a rom and s-off it again.
Never ending loop...
Thanks anyway.
You are using wrong RUU.use the RUU with 5.11.05.27 , I am on mobile so can't give you the exect link.I will post it tomorrow for you, if you can't find.
And it is better to create a goldcard if you havent yet

I've got my gold card already in.
Sadly there's only one ruu for my carrier.
I can flash a generic froyo ruu but it's not good for warranty.
I can't really help in terms of your issue.
If I remember right, I booted into the bootloader and switched on fastboot, then ran the RUU EXE making sure my phone was connected to my pc.
It eventually came right.
Saying that, after I got the stock ROM back on, my phone went ape (and to this day I have no idea why). Random restarts. Freezing. It was crazy. I had to upgrade the RUU for it to stay on properly. Was really weird.
There are so many threads about rooting for warrantee purposes, perhaps search them or go through thier instructions, cause I'm sure someone may have had the same issue.
Wish I could help you though.

Now this is the second time I bring it to assistence (last time was for vol down) and when they give it back to me it was updated to froyo.
I'm facing problem with 1.15=>1.21 OTA, installation is aborted due to status 7 (if some one can help I'll post the full error message).
Unfortunetly the ruu I've used is the only one from my carrier.
Will they know that my phone was updated by them and I'll lose my warranty?
Any idea about fixing status 7?

You need to reflash with the original RUU, you can find some RUUs from here: http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/
THIS PROCESS NEEDS A RELOCKED PHONE. (fastboot oem lock).
edit: the RUU for your version isnt published already. You need to wait for the RUU, Why can you use an older version? You can't because the DOWNGRADE isn't posible with S-ON.
If you know what file you modified, maybe extract it from a similar ROM and adb push it?
if youve edited the build.prop without backing it up first then quite simply youre asking for trouble....
ALWAYS Nandroid and back up anything before altering it.
If you can access download mode then your safe, just connect up usb for fastboot and run a downloaded RUU, if youre not sure what rom to get then id try HTC EUROPE ones they first, these are probably the most common ones.

i will backup the file to PC in next time when i edit any system file...... i have learn a lesson
Yer try not to mess with the build.prop, i know its fun to tinker and see what can be achieved, but there is also a serious risk that comes with it, unfortunatley the file will stop your phone dead if you mess it up, if you save a backup to your pc then worst case you can push it to your phone via adb and overwrite the damaged one.
What CID are u on, eg, htc--001 ??, cidgetter works from market but not much use if you cant boot up, also what firmware are you running now, release, radio and release keys, that way you could extract the boot, recovery and system from the file and just flash them in bootloader.
YOU must relock your bootlock first, the above command in other post was the one to do that, if not, have u tried to flash CWM 5.8.3.1, and install from the recovery youll get both the super su and a custom rom, like android revolution, this way youll be back up and running on a custom rom based on the latest 1.29, you could then download the 1.29 ruu and run it, again after relocking the bootloader and for good measure download and install htcsync, the program delivers a much better driver for the one x, that should get you back to factory, unrooted, stock boot and firmware.
if the ruu isnt avail, find out what your latest ruu is and look for a custom rom based on that.
Keep us informed how you get on, im sorry you learnt the lesson the hard way, i would not wish this to happen to anyone, except for maybe Bill Gates lmao, but then he would just throw it in the bin and go buy another one ha ha.
I hope you get it sorted and remember, before you tinker, READ the guides on XDA, they are good and will really help you and always make a backup of anything you wish to experiment with.
Good luck.
If you still remember the file, try to get it from someone with the same version as you and push it through adb or recovery (if you can go to hboot, surely you can flash cwm again).

I hope u can read chinese
I had the same problem... and before.. i just flash the RUU again, but after i upgraded to 1.29.. that didn't work...(The RUU I had was 1.26) so with ALOT of searching on the internet.. i found the below Chinese site.. and luckily i can read chinese too...
anyway hope it helps.
Basically what i did was force the recovery to be install on my phone.. but there is a down side.. me alarm doesn't work.. everytime i try to change the alarm sound it just reboot... i am still trying to find a way to fix it... and maybe flash the 1.28 RUU to see if that will work.... but that will have to wait until tonite.
http://bbs.xda.cn/thread-11018720-1-1.html
last night , i had make a fake RUU(basic on 1.28.708.10 HongKong Version RUU,included recovery.img,boot.img,system.img) and flash it ,the result is my phone is recovered , all function is normal and i can get OTA now !!
Hi all. Have not been to this site in a while.
I have an 8181 Desire (Australia - Telstra). Presently running CM7 and Runnymede ROM, with 4EXT recovery.
Before I go too far...yes, I know I should use SEARCH, but honestly I have forgotten so much about modding, I really have no idea what I'm doing anymore...
I want to return to stock and pass the phone on to a friend. I have so far installed Telstra RUU to my PC and I have run Alpharev downgrade. I have now moved to reboot and run the RUU, but I keep booting straight to Bootloader screen, not progressing to main screen. I know this means I have missed a step or forgotten something, but have nfi what that might have been.
I never really learned to flash with Fastboot, so am I able to avoid that and continue the way I am a little more familiar with?
Thanks heaps for any help. In the meantime I will continue to SEARCH and see what I can see. Cheers.
Use the troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of q&a
Search for and then run the 2.3.3 GB RUU
I've found the 2.3.3 GB Telstra RUU and renamed to PB99IMG.zip, placed on SD card. I see a blue progress bar and then "would you like to reboot now?" Each time I reboot, I am straight back to Bootloader screen (not stuck in bootloop, as such).
Working my way thru the TS Guide, but I'm pretty sure I have missed a step or forgotten something along the way... Wondering if phone won't boot properly because I am now running the Downgrade HBoot, which is obviously not compatible with Runnymede.
Am I able to uninstall 4EXT touch? Would like to simplify things as much as I can and would be happy with standard CWM for flashing purposes...
Will keep playing today. I know the phone isn't bricked, so I'm not panicking. Yet.
Try flashing the stock hboot, then RUU
Currently if only flashed the downgrade.img, it's just in a blank state with no actual hboot I believe.
(Make sure you're flashing these hboots thru fastboot, not recovery)

Dont rename the ruu to PB99IMG... It wont work as u found out. So.... On ur pc, run the ruu.exe file that u downloaded, then (if using windows) when it gets to the screen with pic of phone asking to axcept stuff, click start on ur computer, then in search box type "run" then click on run then in that search box type %temp% and search then find the first or second newest folder there will be a file there called rom.zip... Rename that to PB99IMG then put it on the root of ur sdcard and boot into bootloader

If u get stuck just google search "how to extract rom.zip from ruu xda" im sure ul get a few guides.
Well, as it happened, impatience got the better of me and I did find the rom.zip and placed onto SD. Update worked fine, but now stuck at Telstra splash screen.
I really do have to head out, but I'll check back again later on.
Would having the SD card partitioned to SD-Ext/FAT32 effect the operation??
Thanks again for the help, feeling like a real n00b here!
Partition won't affect it. RUU doesn't see or care about it
Have you flashed stock hboot yet? It should say alpharev stock in the top of the bootloader screen.
If that RUU won't work, find the 2.3.3 WWE GB RUU
I have --- AlphaRev --- at top of screen. Definitely have flashed stock HBoot.
Just flashing WWE RUU now. I notice in the tutes I've found I should be seeing
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1]Bootloader - OK
[2]Radio_V2 - OK
[3] Radio_Cust - OK
etc...
I have the "OK" on all points except the [1] Bootloader, which has "Bypassed" after it...
WWE RUU now flashed, rebooted and still stuck at splash. Trying to recall if I had flashed a custom Kernel to this phone, back when I was using/playing with it. Blah, too many variables! Should have returned to stock two years ago!!
Still stuck at splash...and speaking of splash, phone might need to take a dip my swimming pool, I think.........................

Not sure why it's skipping the bootloader part.
Custom kernel doesn't make a difference either. Everything except your sd card gets wiped when you run an RUU.
I had a read of the troubleshooting guide again, Part 8, it said to flash the downgrader, then RUU, sorry for my bad advice. Try that.
Else try runnnig the 2.3.3 RUU using PB99IMG.zip method in the same guide.
You should eventually be able to get it to boot. You don't have the RadioV2 fail which is a good thing

Well, I am now S-On, so progress is occurring... Also back to 0.75 HBoot.
Still booting straight to Fastboot though. For sh.ts and giggles, I just attempted to enter Recovery, but got the dreaded red triangle. All good, phone does still boot, just not in the way I want...
Anyhoo, still ticking away. Am relearning a heap of stuff. Maybe I could re-root and S-Off again, once I get this sorted??

Anyhoo, still ticking away. Am relearning a heap of stuff. Maybe I could re-root and S-Off again, once I get this sorted??

You can't enter recovery because the custom recovery gets overwritten by RUU as well. Like I said, everything should go back to stock.
Try the 2.3.3. GB RUU (I assume you used the Telus one as you only have 0.75 hboot?), get it booting first before trying anything else.
The latest RUU should have 1.02 hboot, at which point you could s-off with revolutionary as it's only compatible with 0.93 or 1.02 hboot as far as I know..
My suggestion of trying to enter recovery, or re-rooting was just me playing silly buggers. I swear once this thing is sorted, I am never touching it again!!
So I just tried to re-flash the Telstra RUU and got message "Main Version is older! Update Fail!". Probably due to the 0.75 HBoot, I am guessing. Would like to find a copy of Telstra FroYo RUU and see if that works. If it does get things moving, I could then OTA update once full-boot has been achieved.
Still pretty sure I missed a step somewhere... I did full wipe before starting (cache/dalvic, system, data, SD-Ext), but not factory reset. As I said, am now back to S-On, but I assume I am still rooted, so starting to think I should go back, gain S-Off, CWM and start all over again.
You people must be about ready to reach thru your monitor and choke me! Lol!!

- Please use the 2.3.3 WWE RUU...
- Ignore anything and everything to do with Telstra...
- You are not rooted. You have run an RUU but it's not booting. This has overwritten everything, so your factory reset was unnecessary...

Yep, that's what I'm experiencing.
I have flashed RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704 from here previously, but still had the boot issues when I ran it.
Gave it another try just now, but now have message "Model ID incorrect! Update Fail!"
- That is not the 2.3.3 GB RUU, I think it's an ancient Eclair RUU, yes android 2.1....
- If you can't find the 2.3.3 GB RUU, at least try the Froyo RUU from that thread, version 2.29.405.5 I think. This should give you hboot 0.93 which revolutionary also works on.

Or do it the PB99IMG method

KA-CHING!!
I swear, if I could hit the THANKS button a million times, I would do so in a heart beat. Using mcclue's PB99IMG link, phone is now up and running like new!
But the thanks must also go eddiehk, for your patience and taking the time to check back each day to see how I am going. I swear I had no idea that RUU was Eclair/2.1... Just ASSUMED the updates were still relevant. Was getting close to just "Meh!" and tossing it in the trash.
So, going forward from here, is it worth me checking for OTA updates to bring the phone back completely to stock (Telstra) specs...or just leave it alone??
Anyway, again a million thanks to you guys for your help. Very much appreciated!! :good::good::good::good:

The 2.3 gb upgrade is the latest for this phone so just leave it as is. And if u want custom roms again, use revolutionary to s-off.
