[REQ][HOW TO] Relock or Unroot EVO

I have been searching the web for how to relock my EVO. This is because i am taking it back to sprint for a screen fix and I have learned from the PPCGEEKS thread all the problems and warranty stuff related to rooting as well as the odds of them discovering that I have rooted it. I just don't want to risk it and I would like to know how to relock, just for the knowledge.
Does anyone have specific instructions how??

Download first and last, and flash in the same sequence.

So thats all?? its done? It's unrooted? That seems simple.

Yep, that's how easy it is.
On some phones (one out 5 I "control") I had to get all 3 and flash in the same sequence, otherwise last one wouldn't flash over the first - not sure why.

that surprises me. the latest RUU should flash over anything *theoretically*.
what error did it give you when you attempted?
yes, it should be easy to restore the phone to stock. think of all their service departments fixing/refurb'n phones. one simple flash and its all completely stock no matter what was loaded before.
for those more technically included, since this is the dev board, if the eng build RUU is loaded the PRI is downgraded and as of now, no currently released RUU is able to upgrade the PRI ... but thats such a small issue, can almost guarantee nobody will notice.

Damn screen... I have to do the same thing, and just one other question, besides those files I will just have to use Htc Sync to flash them right?

Those RUUs are just exe files. So sync will provide you with drivers yes, but after downloading you just run from that download with your phone plugged in.

wow after reading that thread on ppcgeeks i dont think i ever want to leave xda! must be a young crowd over there. i ran the latest 1.47 RUU that i downloaded from HTC before I returned my phone. much to my surprise they didn't even take the phone out of the box! still, since it only takes 10 minutes might as well do it.

are you talking about just using the volume down and power button method?

whats the point in running all 3 on a phone you are returning? just running the first one is good enough to unroot and restore to stock. i only ran the most recent one, because i had already upgraded the baseband and was unable to run the earlier ones because of it.

I was surprised too when I tried first.
The 1.47 RUU just sat on the "waiting for bootloader" screen and timed out after ~90 seconds, "unable to find phone" (tried multiple times) and the screen would get stuck in white bootloader/RUU message (battery pull required) - so i am guessing 0.76.2 bootloader was too low for it. That was flashing from 3.2.2+ DamageControl ROM, didn't try from any other one, since the DC -> 1.36 -> 1.47 stock worked well.
And yes, the PRI caveat is there, but as joeykrim said, that's minor, plus you can always say "PRI what - huh?", right?

Running latest OTA makes you seem more of a "dumb user" who wouldn't even know what root is?

No. RUUs are handled differently. You download the file. And run it on your computer with the phone plugged in. It does everything for you. You DO NOT flash these via recovery.

Update on my phone
I took it to the sprint store yesterday and against everything I have heard the guy at the store turned my phone and checked it. Thank god I used redsolar's posted method. I must have the appearance of someone who would root there phone. It passed his inspection, luckily.
Thanks for the help

I rooted with the new Simpleroot OTA Edition, with Fresh Rom 053, and RA-Rec.
I'm trying to start over from stock so I can re-root my phone, but I can't get the RUU's to work. The oldest one will actually try and put the phone in bootloader, but while its waiting for bootloader it eventually just stops and gives me the 170 error, usb connector problem.
So is there any other way to go about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ya what I do is replug the usb coord then try ruu again while the phone is stuck on the HTC sign,then if that doesn't work I just manually go into bootloader myself (power+volume down) then use the ruu.exe, works everytime but then it tells me my current version is not valid, so if you ota'd you probably won't ever be able to go back to 1.32.651.1/.6 stock but you can just use the new 1.47.651.1 ruu to regain stock after ota.

Thanks a **** load Tundricles, you saved my ass.
I was getting so pissed, I'd run the RUU and once it got to opening the bootloader on my phone it was get frozen on the HTC screen, and the RUU would get the use connection error. So I unplugged my phone, and noticed it was in the bootloader, but if the usb was plugged in, it wouldn't show the bootloader screen for some reason. So I just plugged it back in and started the RUU back up, it instantly went past the "Waiting for bootloader..." message and started updating.
Thank you, and for anyone else having similar problems, READ THIS!

Flashing the RUU doesn't restore the stock recovery does it?
I ran Unrevoked 2 a while back and I have RUU'd but I'm pretty sure Clockwork Mod is still there.

[Q] Cannot root 3.30.651.2 stock

Got a brand new Evo 4G today with OS 3.30.651.2. It has HBOOT-2.02.0000.
Unrevoked 3 (downloaded today) goes through several steps, but after "It was a triumph", and it reboots and asks to go into the HBOOT USB mode, the phone is booting normally, and everything stops at that point.
I've gone around on Unrevoked 3 probably 30-40 times now, and cannot get it to work. As a workaround to the not going into hboot above, I tried disconnecting the USB when Unrevoked expected to go to hboot, took it manually to hboot, and unrevoked continued briefly, but then came up with the missing misc error.
I tried downloading the "official rooted 3.30.651.2" zip, renaming it to update.zip and loading it from recovery - fails signature check.
I cannot find any way to root this.
Any suggestions?

i have the same problem, help please.

Unrevoked not working also
I bought my wie a new EVO yesterday and I have the exact same problem. I noticed that durning the first stage of the unrevoked process the part where "clockwork mod recovery" is copied to the phone, it is NOT being copied. The screen says pushing...clockwork mod" and disappears instantly. No way 25+ megabytes can be copied in about 1 second. Unrevoked reports a triumph but at the next reboot, you get the same message about cannot find misc file. Phone operates normally but not rooted and clokcwork mod recovery not installed.
looks to me that Sprint/HTC may have plugged the exploit as looking at the about screen, there are incrementl differences in all of the programs but android.
Hopefully this gets fixed soon, I don't want to pay for the hot spot for the wifes phone and Ipad.

thank god , i thouht i some how jacked it up, my phone is fine , but i can't do the restore because i can't get the root to come back on, my error is the exact same as above , and is this clockwork something we can copy to the phone manually?????

didn't know this update was ota already.... as for the rooting problem it looks like you will have to wait till someone finds a root method for the new update its shouldn't be to different from the G2 root since it was the same thing they did to try to keep people from rooting that phone but i'm not a programer so i couldn't say for sure

try flashing the misc partition with toast's modified mtd-eng.img. this should take off the varifications that unrevoked uses. HOW TO (UNTESTED): go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769937 and download evo-root.zip. unzip it. then, using adb, push mtd-eng.img to /sdcard/, flash_image to /data/local/, and rageagainstthecage.bin to /data/local/tmp. next, open up an adb shell. then use the command
chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage.bin (don't copy and paste bcuz i dont remember the exact name for the rageagainstthecage thing. )
then do
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage.bin (once again, check the name of cage.bin)
a few commands should be run, and it should dump you back in the command prompt/terminal. open up a shell again, and you should see a # instead of a $. then, type
chmod 755 /data/local/flash_image
/data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img
you should'nt see any confirmation. just try to run unrevoked now. if it still doesnt work, go through the full tutorial i posted a link for above. it should also work on winows, and for any version of froyo... i hope.

Unrevoked will have a new version out really soon

I believe there is an update out, just go to your settings and find your update tab, and check for new firmware. OTA has been popping up on me when i was running Eclair rEVOlution 2.2 3.29.xx.x. Shouold have a 3.30 ota, if not, your gonna have to wait for a while.

This doesn't look good.
From the 3.30.651.2 release notes:
support 2nd Source Camera sensor (Samsung)
Fix the NAND MPU security in hboot

if yore rooted do NOT do the ota update look in htc supersonic /development and find a rom you like and flash away most if not all have been updated with new ota,kernels ect..

I bought a phone this afternoon with 3.30.651.2. I feel fuxored.
Anybody try dkdude36's suggestion about toast?
I'm scouring the web for confirmation that something to break our version is in the works. I could find nothing.
I'm tempted to return or exchange for a new one and try to get the rep not to OTA it on the spot.

So was it not on 3.30.651.2 out of the box (before OTA)?

i will try my own method later this week when i get a replacement phone (little bro cracked the screen badly) will report back. it really should work. either that or somebody will have to make a replacement hboot (probably toast)

what does "support 2nd source camera sensor (samsung) mean? A hardware revision with a samsung camera? Evo version 004?
Good thing I didn't exchange my evo today, was near the sprint store and was debating to nand backup, unroot and exchange (cracked power button issue) but I wasn't sure if I would get it replaced through TEP for free or $35, since it was a common issue and they changed their TEP policy about in-store warranty repairs. I'll wait until the new unrevoked comes out to exchange my phone.

I don't know the answer -- I would feel better knowing that it came out of the box that way, that I couldn't have done anything at the store to prevent it from being loaded.
The rep offered me a trade-in deal for my Hero, which I didn't expect, so I was busy trying to reboot recovery and wiping the phone while she was setting up the Evo. 3.30.651.2 can't be more than few days old, so I assume they phone is older than that from the factory and that she OTA updated it while setting it up. I could be wrong.
There was a display Evo flashing a mandatory update warning but no one in the store cared to update that one!

If your HBOOT version is 2.02 or 2.10, then no, unrevoked will not work.

From what I am reading... if you say you got your EVO from day 1, I assume that is June 4th, all EVOs from that date are from 0.87 HBOOT so yes, unrevoked would work for you.
Check your HBOOT version just in case.

I think what you want to know, is how to update to a 3.30.651.3 rom and keep root?
If that is what you are asking, then yes, you can look for one like in this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836728
You can download it and follow the directions, its easy. You should already be rooted, so if you install a rooted rom you should be OK.
If you are still on 3.29, make sure that you have S-OFF and ran Unrevoked Forever.

BASICALLY YES I BOUGHT MY EVOS THE 1ST FRIDAY THEY CAME OUT JUNE 4TH I BELIEVE. IVE NEVER DID ANYTHING TO IT EXCEPTH DOWNLOAD UPDATES SENT BY SPRINT. I FPUND OUT ABOUT ROOTING FOR FREE WIFI. DOWNLOADED UNREVOKED. DOWNLOADED THE ANDROID DRIVERS I GUESS BC IM USING WINDOWS 7 I NEEDED THEM. PLUGGED MINE AND MY GFS PHONE IN AND BAM! UNREVOKED HAD ME ROOTED IN MINUTES. SO I START GETTING A LITTLE COCKY AND GET ON THIS FORUM AND SEE IM WAY OUT OF MY LEAGUE. IM TRYING MY BEST TO SOAK IN AS MUCH INFO BY READING ALOT OF THE INFO IN THE Q&A FORUMS. NOT EXZACTLY SURE WHAT FLASHING ROM IS NOT SURE WHAT A KERNEL IS. FROM READING WHAT EVERYONE ON HERE IS DOING IAM WAYYYY BEHIND THE EIGHTBALL LOL. SO WHATS A EASY WAY FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME TO ROOT THE NEW EVOS. WILL UNREVOKED WORK? ALSO WHAT DO YOU RECCOMEND SOMEONE LIKE ME DO TO AN EVO THAT HASNT REALLY BEEN MODIFIED EXCEPT UNREVOKED?
OK SO THIS IS WHAT IAM LOOKING AT

I keep hearing everyone say use the "like a boss" method

Ok...so you first got the EVO when it came out in June, rooted it, but then applied a Sprint OTA update and lost root?
I'm not entirely sure what you are really asking because if you already obtained root, why would you need to root it again?

No i havent lost root. My phone is rooted. My friends have the new evo with the 3.3 software. Before i tell em to drive up to baltimore from richmond i wanna make sure it will work. Thre reason i posted the info about my phone is i guess it would just be useful for people to see what exzactly i have and would need

So this spec is his phone or yours? If this is his phone, then you can use unrevoked3 (I assume since the build is 3.29, the HBOOT is 0.97 or so).

No this is my phone
He just bought his from radioshack 4 days ago so im assuming he has all the newest software. Also thanks for explaining the difference in unrevoked 3 and forever on my other thread. Im assuming i need to save any info on my phone before running unrevoked forever. Sorry to be bouncing around so much but im just so anxious to learn so heres 2 questions
1) when flashing roms, is unrevoked 3 a tool i can use. Can i just click custom then select the rom i want to flash?
2) for my buddys phone, what is the simplest way to root his phone since unrevoked will not work. Im reading the tjread everyone is referring to as 'like a boss" but its not making much sense

1. I assume from you asking about unrevoked forever, you are still S-ON and trying to get S-OFF? When you ran unrevoked3, it should've installed a custom recovery (ClockworkMOD is what unrevoked uses I believe). That's where you flash unrevoked forever and any custom ROMs later (the files need to be on the root of your SDcard - meaning not in any folders).
To get to recovery: power off, then when you turn it back on, hold down VOL DOWN and POWER and that will put you into bootloader. It may attempt to locate PC36IMG.zip/etc files but you prob won't have them which is fine, after that, select Recovery and hit Power and you should be booting into recovery.
If you can, I would suggest doing a nandroid backup of your phone so in case anything does get messed up while flashing, you can restore back. To do this, go to backup or something like that (sorry, I use Amon_RA's recovery so the wording is most likely different). Once you are backed up, go to 'install zip from sdcard', then 'choose zip from sdcard', and then pick the file you want to flash. After that, reboot and you should be good to go.
Some custom ROMs require you to do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik-cache - wipe each one twice) before you flash, so to do that you go to recovery and choose the wipe option. Stuff like radios, kernels, themes, you only need to wipe the cache and dalvik-cache.
2. As for your buddy's phone....I am not too familiar with the new EVO root methods but I think the "like a boss" edition which is now updated to "Yea, I'm On Top" edition seems to be the new way to root the new EVOs until unrevoked or someone else comes out with another way. You can check out these threads to get a better understand and post in them too if you have any questions and the guys with experience when those methods should be able to help. Sorry, I can't be of too much help here.

[Q] Issues with Unrooting and Updating Kernel, Radio, OS, EtC

I was rooted with Unrevoked forever and running Caulkulins EVio 2.
Ran the unrevoked s-on tool from the How to Unroot the EVO in 2 STEPS thread.
Attempted to run the PC36IMG but it won't load as I get a notification stating that it is older than the 2.2 the phone came with.
I do now have S-On
Did full wipe and factory restore.
I am unable to update radio, Wimax or Kernel.
Downloaded the 2.3 update and it loads about 1/3 of the way and then hangs, giving me a triangle with a yellow exclamation point next to the little green android guy.
I'm thinking that perhaps I am not totally non rooted but I'm not convinced this shouldn't allow me to update from the 2.15.00.09.01 or allow me to replace the 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e htc--kernel and 18-12#11
Build# is 3.29.651.5CL252548 Release Keys and Software Number 3.29.651.5
Any thoughts or help you could give me?

I guess I must be a problem with no answers?

For one, you don't need to unroot to flash radios.....

This I was aware of but as I am due for an upgrade in three weeks and I was trading the phone in at RS, it made sense to do so.
This still doesn't explain why I can't upgrade, why the radio flash doesn't take, etc

Since you are rootless, flash the 3.70.XX RUU and then run update. That should get all updated ...
Although why bother with a trade in?

Issue upgrading a rooted evo from 2.2 to 2.3

Ok let start by getting a few things out of the way.
1 I'm sorta a Noob ok kick me crack a joke or two I don't care as long as you help
2. I have Htc evo of course running stock 2.2 (baseband ver 2.15.00.11.19)
Kernel ver 2.6.32.17-gee557fd htc-kernel and18-2 #15) (S-ON)
Radio-2.15.00.11.19 and I'm using a Mac (if that help)
3. I rooted it using the unrevoked method.
The device works fine but bit I'm having a big issue trying to upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3.
I have been trying to unroot the phone so that I can update OTA.
But no matter how many times I try to unroot it my super user is still there
I would rather flash the phone to a 2.3 GB rom thats 2.3 with sense 2.1 or 3.0.
I've tried this the method found on youtube using the s-on and dropping the image file (zip) on the sd card and flashing it
by making sure you install the (s-on) patch
and re-flashing the RUU (PC36IMG).
but when I did that it said that i was re-flashing a old version.. so I found a newer version.
But when I drop it on my SD card as (PC36IMG.zip) it reads it, checks it then... takes me right back to the Hbot screen like nothing never happen!!!
I've been working on this for 3 days I've even tried restoring and everything.
I've been searching online for answers but I can't find anything that helps either its not up to date or just flat out dont work.
at the end of the day i just want a damn evo running BG 2.3 sense 2.1 or 3.0 would be nice.
​
oh by the way when i try to run the OTA it reboots startes to load get about 35% then goes to the exclamation mark / triangle.
I'm out of options please help me out! I've searched and read on for about 3 days now.
please either help flash the device to a stable working 2.3 with sense 2.1-3 or un root it so i can update it ota and re root it again...

Wow man, between the general and q&a sections there are seven threads dealing with this very topic. Yet you couldn't find any of them?
If you want to unroot and take the ota you will need to flash the s-on update and run the 3.70 ruu to unroot. Once you do that you'll be completely unrooted and like new. Then just take the update and it should go through without any issues. If, however, your bootloader shows a firmware version higher than 3.70 and you are s-on then I'm sorry to say you are stuck like that.

If you want to unroot and take the ota you will need to flash the s-on update and run the 3.70 ruu to unroot. Once you do that you'll be completely unrooted and like new. Then just take the update and it should go through without any issues. If, however, your bootloader shows a firmware version higher than 3.70 and you are s-on then I'm sorry to say you are stuck like that.

I've dont that and i still can not remove the root

You'll need to flash the PC36IMG through fastboot to see what's going wrong with it then. To do that download the AutoRoot tools zip and the PC36IMG_3.70.651.1.zip from the link below. Once you have them both unzip the tools folder and place the PC36IMG in it, then run the FlashZip script and tell it to flash the 3.70.651.1 zip
It should flash ok but if not it'll give you an error message saying what went wrong with it. Keep in mind you're going to be completely unrooted if your bootloader shows S-ON.

What HBoot do you have... I think just flashing one of the stock GB roms probably would of been easier just my opinion....

i just found a ruu for 3.70.651.1 ... installing so far so good

You do realize that you'll lose root until a new method is found, correct? If you want to stay rooted, you need to reroot, then flash the stock rooted 2.3 rom.
If you want a newer version of Sense, you'll be outta luck there too - the new update is same ol' Sense 1.0.
Just making sure you realize this, since so many people are whining about not being able to root the OTA and being stuck with the uneventful update.
