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

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.
tried to run the file located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685835 well during the install it gave me an error saying the file is corupted or can not be opened. well know my phone only display a black screen with htc logo with ! marks inside of triangles in each corrner, i cant get to hboot or recovery. what do i do
You're probably not bricked but I wouldn't know what to do in your situation. I'll leave that for someone more intelligent than I. What possessed you to try and run that file?
it was supposed to take me back to stock
How did you root your phone? did u use unrevoked?

That software version in that file is waaaaay outdated. You can try running a RUU from your PC but I'm not sure if it will find your phone when it's in that state. It's worth a shot though.
Download the latest RUU from here, and run it on your computer. Follow the on screen directions and cross your fingers.
he has to have s-on or it wont work right. as far as i know

yeah i rooted my phone using unrevoked
This happened to me trying to root a hardware 004 Evo, just run the ruu to fix
sent from my Evo on Americans REAL largest 4G network
every ruu i try to run gives me the same error error code 110 unable to open files or its corrupted but it doesn't error until after it deletes everything could it because of the non stock kernel i had it dont understand why ruus wont work ive try like 5 and i always get the same error
you have to flash unrevokedforever s-on before RUU will work.

to run that i need custom recovery
You can not get into hboot? If you can, take a look and see if it says S-ON or S-OFF.
If its S-OFF, flash a custom recovery. Then use the S-ON Tool. Then flash the updated RUU.
If it says S-ON. Flash the latest RUU.
If it still doesn't work, come back and I'll try to see if theres something else you can do.
For future reference, make sure you always use the latest info. Don't just flash anything cause it says UNROOT WITH THIS. Make sure its the latest version/method/etc.
this is my first time to post on the xda,
if i have post in the wrong forum , please help me to move the right forum,thanks!

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 guys,
Hoping someone can help, have bricked my Australian Optus stock One X. I have tried to follow all threads related to loading stock or custom roms from fastboot and am unable to. I still have CWM recovery 5.8.2.7 touch installed.
I had previously rooted it and installed Android Revolution HD 5.1.0 and seemed to be fine but was unstable and would crash and reboot in certain apps. In trying to revert back to stock I stupidly formatted the SD card, DUMB ASS!
I have downloaded stock rom 1.29.401.7-DUO, all-in-one rootkit, and the ARHD ROM and have tried to either:
1) flash ARHD with bootloader still unlocked, doesn't work
2) follow reflashing stock process ie flash stock recovery, relock bootloader, then flash stock ROM, and am getting stuck on just reflashing the stock recovery. When I try to open stock recovery it takes me to a black screen with a red ! in a triangle, this is with the bootloader relocked.
If anyone is able to help an enthusiast noob like me I'd be very appreciative and would also be more than willing to donate for the trouble.
MAKE SURE you have exactly the right RUU for your phone, whatever the rom was on you were using, ie, 1.26, 1.28, 1.29, you need the same version of RUU, i discovered the problem trying to flash RUUs and after 2 days finally got the correct one, thats when i realised, unlike on other phones, you cant downgrade the One X and when recovering it seems to prefer the one that matches what you were using.
Also make sure youre cid is supported in that RUU, ie, HTC 001, TMOB 054, etc etc, mine can only accept 401 roms, so they must match exactly, until we can get S-Off this problem will remain, dont worry about recovery, so the guide on in case of disaster, you cant go wrong with it, relock your bootloader and get your RUU installed, from their update it to your latest ics version and then if you must reflash your cwm and root it.
Thanks for the info, graemeg. After downloading an RUU that was .exe file, I felt I was getting closer, as it was an AU Optus RUU. But it turns out that my current version is 1.28.980.10 and the RUU version was 1.26.980.3 and so yes I met with the non-downgrading issue.
It seems that there is not currently a stock 1.28.980.10 RUU at the moment, so might be using this as an ornament for much longer than I would have hoped/thought. Bummer.

You can get 1.28.980.10 from htcdev downloads. I would link but I'm a new user, just filter by One X, Optus, and it's there.
Thanks again for the help. I have seen those files on htcdev website, but don't know how to use them
I don't know how to load a RUU that is not a .exe file...if anyone is able to assist, again, I would really appreciate it and will donate once up and running again.
Edit: I just wanted to add that I have tried to follow the thread that explains how to load/flash recovery and boot images via fastboot in command prompt, and have not been able to. So I don't think I'm a complete dumb ass, but do need someone with the knowledge and patience to guide me through it. Please!
First thing first, do you have the right RUU with you ?
If not, maybe this is the one for you : http://hoxroms.serveftp.com/RUU_END...Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_258004_signed.exe
second: do you have fastboot directory set up on your pc ? and htc usb driver too ?
Just starting the download now, I think that could be the RUU I've been looking for. Yes I have the drivers and fastboot directory. Will give this RUU a go and let you know, thanks for the quick reply, ckpv5!
Most important before you run the RUU, you need to:
1) have a stock recovery flashed to you your device first (I believe you already have one)
2) relock the bootloader - fastboot oem lock
3) run RUU, it should work.
THANK YOU!
ckpv5, thank you for the link to the updated RUU. Phone is functioning again, stock. Donation coming your way. Thanks for all your help. agentorange82.
Beforehand I had an iPhone 5 and it was so easy, just click restore and ta-da. I'm just so stuck right now. I tried installing a Google Play edition rom that has been ported to the Verizon model. However when I installed it would just keep saying com.android.phone has stopped over and over and over again. So I read a tutorial on how to go back to stock, but the download link for the RUU was down. So I used another RUU online that didn't have the same MD5. I used it anyway and it successfully got me back to Sense. But I think it isn't complete stock because there is 8 GB taken up by 'other' when people are saying it's usually 6 GB or below. Also, when I try installing Rumrunner it does its thing and says it's completed. But, the bootloader still says locked. I have S-Off on the phone because I didn't completely follow the instructions by disabling S-OFF. I tried putting in the fastboot command to unlock bootloader becuase I have S-OFF, but it says I don't have permission. I also have installed the drivers without HTC sync. Someway to get back to complete out of the box stock or just getting an unlocked bootloader would be so awesome. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Did you not backup your stock ROM? If not that was not a good idea. If you have a custom recovery still installed (how you installed the gpe ROM) flash another ROM or restore your backup.

Typically flashing a stock rom should revert you back to S-ON and lock the bootloader.

what i would suggest is to flash back the RUU, and then use the recovery instead of flashing another rom.
i had issues before with just flashing the RUU and expecting it to work like stock, but once i recovered the phone using the RUU's recovery (stock recovery), everything was honky dory.
