Please guys help me unroot. Time is of the essance
I have an Evo on 2.1 loaded with Fresh and I want to unroot as I have light a LOT of light leakage. Te people at RS have a new Evo for me that I am supposed to pick up in the morning and I have ran both RRs ( RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253 and RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253) and all I keep getting on both my laptop and desktop is an error after aboutn 15 minutes of the verifying android screen:
Error [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR
This ROM update Utility cannot connect to your android phone. Please check that the USB cable is connected properly between the PC and your android phone.
I have to get this thing unrooted and I am sorry if I missed the answer as I have searched for it.
Thanks
honestly even if you dont get it unrooted, do you think RS is really going to notice that you rooted it? i mean id try to unroot it too, but if you dont get it done in time, i wouldnt worry about it. it's not like you are sending it back to HTC for service. from my experience in returning things, rarely do they even check to see if the item is in the box!

Make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your computer. Pull the curtain down where you choose Charge Only, Disk Drive etc.. choose HTC Sync. Listen for the USB sound, start installation of the Stock ROM. sha-bam!
Here is a vid. Once you watch it you will realize how easy it really is.

if it says USB connection error, you probably are already RUU'd. if it does that, let the phone boot up, it should be fully RUU'd, and check the build and version in settings>about phone. if it still shows fresh, or whatever you do, try putting your phone in fastboot before RUUing. hold down volume while pressing power button, and select fastboot. then run the RUU.
but if the RUU runs for 15 minutes before giving you the error, i'm pretty sure you're already set.
if that doesnt work, go into bootloader mode
and run the .exe for the RUU
power+vol up
Yea fat chance. Rs people will nowots rooted

I seriously doubt it. I've seen some of the 'sales associates' at RS. Best Buy, yes. RS....doubtful.
If anything look for the update.zip version of the RUU and flash that through recovery. Then run the original RUU.exe and it should work.

Download the factory Rom and put it in your card and flash from there, if not you can always try wipe the data and Davlik cache and it will boot up...from there you can run the RUU...hope this works.

Yeah, the only problem is I thought that when RS returned it to HTC they would figure it out and I heard that they might charge me full price for the phone
well I am not sure what happened. I followed that video word for word and now it has been stuck on the htc screen for 10 minutes
OK so I had to take out the battery to get it working again and when it booted it it said "fresh!" so it is still rooted and running that ROM.
It never made it past the htc screen as all of the sudden that same window came up that there was a usb connection error.
i checked my phone info and i am indeed running fresh. It also told me that when I was in the process of using the RUU.
I used [TUTORIAL] IDIOT-PROOF Root Guide! NAND Unlock and ADB Update!! BUt I used it before the NAND Unlock and ADB Update I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
ok step by step real quick:
Installed HTC Sync.
Plugged phone in and chose HTC Sync
Ran RUU
Current info: Image Version Fresh
Clicked Update
From Version Fresh to 1.32.651.1
clicked Next
Rebooting to bootloader screen / HTC splash screen
Waiting for Bootloader........................................................
Waiting for Bootloader........................................................
Waiting for Bootloader........................................................
Waiting for Bootloader........................................................
Goes right back to that ERROR 171 : USB CONNECTION ERROR screen
ugh. any ideas?
Hmmmm. I just found this post on another site:
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

Trying this now
and it worked. Thanks all!
I've got a fully rooted, fully NAND unlocked evo4g and I've been having a lot of trouble flashing custom roms.
Right now I'm trying to flash Cyanogen 6.0.0 and i'm getting the following error (check the attachment for a pic of the error).
I've googled the problem and all I could draw from my research was that I needed to download a new PCM132.IMG.
Tried that, and I still get the same error message.
What am I doing wrong?
Any help is appreciated...
Cyanogen roms need the .76 bootloader.
This site has the right one you need:

Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the quick response. I'll try that right now and let you know how it goes.
Now I seem to be having a whole new slew of problems...
I followed the instructions, finished it, then went to check if I had the 0.76 bootloader.
Nope, still running 0.93. So i figured I would try reinstalling the drivers using the USBDeview.exe that he said to use.
But, when I unplug and plug my phone back in, no drivers install. I'm assuming I'm going to have to do it manually, but where can I find the drivers for my EVO?
The second problem is that I can't go into recovery through bootloader or quick boot.
I'm hoping that's just a problem because the drivers aren't installed, otherwise I'm boned.
Thanks for your help..
Did you go through every single step they had? Or did you just flash the pc36img file?

thats because you must download and flash GAPPS from here
http://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/gapps-hdpi-20100817-signed.zip
and another question. any specific reason you are flashing a cm6 nightly for 7-19? the final release of 6 is out and there are new nightlies.
I deleted several sprint apps a few months ago when I temporarily rooted my EVO with z4 Root. I would now like to update the phone to 3.70. I have tried the OTA and the manual version but after extensive research, I realize that I can't update without these system apps (sprint tv, nascar, football, etc..)
Is there any way I can get these apps back on my phone?... or be able to update to 3.70 without them? I am not permanently rooted, still using z4 root.
Any advice at all, would be greatly appreciated...

Not sure about adding the bloat back but try flashing myns or mikfroyos roms. They r both based off of 3.7 base but without bloat and speed up. Mostly stock looking as well
Thanks for the reply.. I'm not sure I can use custom ROMs with a temporary root, is it possible? What I'm looking for in the new update is permanent SWYPE and the updated speed. This is my last attempt to try to fix the problem... If I don't find a solution, I will have to replace my EVO and pass this one on to my husband. This has been driving me crazy!

I don't know about the temp root but u can always try the full root.
You could permanently root, the ROMs mentioned before have the swype keyboard & are faster than stock.
Or you could download the apk files that you deleted. If you can't find them, you could pull them from a stock rooted ROM. Then, while temporarily rooted, move them to /system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r-- with Root Explorer or a free alternative. They'll be there when you reboot.

Thank you SO MUCH! That sounds perfect... I will try the apk files first, I'm curious to see if that will work. Thank you for the excellent detailed explanation, I actually understood everything and feel like it will be easy (I do have Root Explorer).
If that doesn't solve the problem then I will do a permanent root and use the above custom ROM. When I am finished, I will post my results.
Thanks again for all your help!

If adding the .apk's back doesn't work, and you don't want to root and run custom roms (which you definitely should ), you could always run an RUU. I believe you should be able to run the 3.70 RUU no problem, but if not, run the 3.30 RUU, and that will flash you to a completely stock, out of the box ROM. Then you should be able to run the OTA. To run the RUU, you just need to have HTC Sync installed on your computer, if you don't already. You plug your phone into computer via USB, and run the RUU from the computer. I believe you want to use the HTC Sync that came on your evo's SD card, if you still have it. I believe the most updated one on HTC's website causes issues with RUU. Anyways, good luck, and here's a link.

I would permanently root, you can always unroot later too. Use unrevoked 3.
Sent from my hand with XDA Premium installed
You can get certain apps by sending a Text message to sprint.
Like, send a text to "7777" with the word "NASCAR" and it should send you a download. It may work for the rest of them too, not sure tho.
I would try a full root myself.. you won't be sorry.

Thank you VERY MUCH! I just can't express the relief I feel. I could not reinstall the sprint .apks. I spent 3 hours trying all different kinds of ways before I finally gave up and moved on to the RUU. If you had not suggested and explained this, I would still be totally stressed. This is my first time to ever post a problem on any forum, I usually just search and read. This was a great experience and everyone was so helpful!
I want to briefly post my steps just in case someone else has the same problem later.
Searched and downloaded Stock RUU 3.29 (this is what I was running prior to deleting apps) and HTC sync 2.0.4 (my understanding that this is the only sync that has the highest success rate with minimal errors)
Uninstalled the latest HTC sync from my computer and then installed the 2.0.4 version I just downloaded.
Made sure USB debugging was enabled on my phone, then connected to PC with USB cable.
Powered off the phone, then while holding the volume down button, I pressed the power button until the screen with the 3 android skateboarders appeared.
I then had the RUU file on my desktop (PC) ready to click. On the phone I scrolled with the volume button to fastboot, then pressed the power button to select. I then quickly double clicked the RUU file on my computer.
When the dialog box came up, I followed the instructions. At one point, it asked to update the rom version. I Selected update and continued until completion.
This worked perfect. My phone was wiped clean and back to the original stock ROM with all sprint bloatware. I then updated my phone to the latest update 3.70.
After this, I now feel comfortable doing a permanent root. That is my plan for tomorrow... I wont be deleting anymore bloatware, just freezing it.

Awesome! I'm glad I was able to help, and that you got your issue resolved. It's always good when your first experience posting in a forum is a positive one, and XDA has a wealth of info and great people around here. Good luck on rooting, I'm sure you'll have no trouble. Then you'll really get to see what your Evo can do!

Well I'm glad you got it working, but deleting the bloatware clears up space, and if you delete it from titanium backup, you should have no problems, just make sure to make a backup before you flash your first rom. And like K2buckley said, there's always good people lurking around.
If anything do NOT delete the sprint Apps just freeze them using TB... Read that on a newbs guide

So my brother tried to update his Evo with the official update. For some reason his Evo is bricked. He went and decided to switch companies and get an iPhone and gave me his Evo.
When i turn it on its on an infinite reboot. Only thing i can get to is the bootloader menu (holding the power and up key or the other menu with the down key key). Im new to this and dont know if I should just tank it. Im pretty sure there is a way to make it come back to life so if someone can offer any help I would appreciate it.
Some technical notes.
1.) I installed the usb driver so my desktop recognizes it.
2.) I tried updating it in fastboot usb mode using the RUU Supersonic 1.32.651_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.
It looked like it was working. It asked me if I wanted to update(better yet downgrade) from Image version 4.22.651.2 to Image version 1.32.651.1. It rebooted the device it said it was erasing the user data, then it said it was sending then updating signature........then it tanked and says ERROR[140]:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR The ROM Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I dont know how to root i dont know how to hack. I just want it to work. Please let me know how to get it fixed. Im tired of my blackberry.
3.)I tried to do the PC36IMG thing and I dont know what its supposed to do. But when it goes to read it I get a PC36DIAG.zip cannot be found or missing and a PC36Diag.n something missing.
Thanks
Do you have htc sync installed? It won't work unless you have the actual htc sync suite installed. Just google it won't cost you anything. I semi bricked my phone but I fixed it. Maybe some things I done in this thread could help you. Just skim through a few of my posts'.

My last tip would be to put the phone in fastboot and then run the 3.29 ruu exe. It worked for me, here's the link. Just make sure you have htc sync installed and it's not running when u try to run the ruu (from fastboot in bootloader).

Was the phone rooted when he updated. In Hboot does it say s-off. If so try running the pc36img.zip of amon ra and see if you can get a recovery image back on the phone to work out of.

The RUU you used is pretty old, I would try a newer one, such as the 3.70 software. What version is your hboot, and is it S on or S off? Where is it bootlooping at? (the white HTC EVO 4G screen, or the actual boot animation?)
I selected the old one because that one never gives me issues, the 3.30 and 3.70 never work for me

My hboot is: HBOOT-2.16.0001

Its bootlooping at the white HTC EVO4 screen.
Any ideas.
I have tried RUU:

3.29.651.5
3.29.651.6
3.29.651.5
3.70.651.1
The only one that actually does anything is 1.32.651.1 The rest just fail giving me an ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR. Could be because HTC sync cant install the driver. How Can I get that driver installed. Could it be my OS?

I would try running the RUU as a PC36IMG, if you haven't already. Download PC36IMG of the RUU you wish to use, and put it on the main directory of your SD card. Then boot to the bootloader, and let it detect the PC36IMG. It should scan it, then ask you to update. Select volume up for yes, and let it run it's course. Perhaps that method will work out better for you.
Dirk, thats odd that you get errors on the new RUU's. Sometimes if the hboot and radios don't match up the RUU won't run.
EDIT: And yes, you definitely could be getting that error (most likely are) because HTC won't install the driver. You need to get that installed. I would still just try the PC36IMG though.

Was the phone rooted when he updated. In Hboot does it say s-off. If so try running the pc36img.zip of amon ra and see if you can get a recovery image back on the phone to work out of.

Just make sure that the file is named PC36IMG.zip (exactly that).
Sorry but I have to ask why your friend didn't bring it right to sprint and get them to fix it they would have replaced it in a second for a bad upgrade?

I ran it. It scanned it checked it and then nothing. Goes right back to the screen where it asks you to choose fastboot, recovery, ......
I did notice that my battery needs charging. Im gonna try again when the battery has some juice.
Also got HTC sync installed on my Windows & machine.Will give it a try too.

My brother is impulsive and he didnt like the fact that it bricked on him. If it was me I would have definitely taken it to sprint.
You could try this don't know if they will or not but I'm kind of cool with some guys at one of those little stands in a mall now they are sprint but not really they helped me with an old phone I was having problems with that wasn't activated they don't really care and they have the tools to fix things but the one I go to like to show me just how much they know about androids witch isn't much LOL.
Might be worth a shot you might find a guy thats into moding and would like to show off.

I've been trying man. Im getting nowhere with this. I tried the RUU 3.70 and it just crashed asked me if I wanted to debug. So im gonna try one of the older versions. At least its seeing these with the HTC sync working.

Yea, I would either try an RUU again now that you've got HTC Sync installed, or format your SD card, and put ONLY the PC36IMG on there, then try it again. The only time I've seen a PC36IMG file not ask you to update is if the card needed to be formatted for one reason or another.

I tried the RUU again and it gotas far as the signature and then it crapped out again.
Error [140] BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
Have no idea what the problem could be. Gonna try reformatting the card one more time and see what happens. So frustrating!!!
Maybe try to update or downgrade your hboot version.

*Assuming you're working on a windows machine*
Go to this site http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Supersonic
and download ruu 3.70.
Without your phone connected, run the ruu until it gets to the first dialog box (it should have a checkbox that says "I understand the caution..." blah blah).
With this dialog still open, go to start > run and type "%TEMP%" without quotes.
Inside this folder look for a file called "rom" or "rom.zip" (you are going to have to go through all subfolders) depending on your windows settings (Hide extensions for known file types).
When you find it move it to your desktop and rename it to "PC36IMG" or "PC36IMG.zip" accordingly.
Get a card reader and take your sdcard out of your phone and place it in the card reader. Place the PC36IMG file you renamed on the root of the sdcard. Install your sdcard back into the phone and boot into bootloader. This should scan the card and find the PC36IMG and reinstall a bone stock non-rooted 2.2 rom.
If this method fails, it's possible the nand may have been corrupted in the update process. I'm better at troubleshooting if I have the device with me so this is the best I can do.

That is frustrating. It sounds like there may be a problem with your current boot.img, and maybe that's why it won't let the RUU re-write the boot.img when it's trying. That would also explain you not being able to boot, because if your bootloader is corrupted somehow, then you won't be able to get anywhere at all. Unfortunately, the bootloader you're on (HBOOT-2.16)isn't downgradeable. I'm starting to suspect that you're getting the bootloader version error because when you run the older RUU, it will try to flash an older version of hboot. Since the version you're on is NOT able to be downgraded, it's probably erroring out when it tries to downgrade, but it can't. I would suspect that if the RUU for the 4.22 software was available and you were able to run that one, then it would succeed. The problem is that you're trying to downgrade, and you can't do that. I'm not sure what went wrong when the OTA was accepted, but it seems like something did, and now you're stuck. I would guess that the only way to fix it would be to reflash the OTA (which you can't because you can't boot), or run the RUU for 4.22, which isn't available yet. My speculations may not be accurate, but that's my guess!
Okay, this might not be the place to get some divine intervention to start (or stop) happening, but I'm really starting to get a nervous breakdown and I desperately need some help. I'm going to tell you my story, because it's my last resort before throwing this phone in a fire and never buy anything Samsung related ever.
So the phone came out of the box and for some magic reason I got the bootloader unlocked and phone rooted. It all started with installing CWM I think. This stopped my phone from taking OTA updates. Of course I could have known, but for some reason I installed CWM. I don't know why! I regret it, I don't even want a different ROM installed, I thought it was necessary to root the phone. So when I got the OTA, at first I was like YEAH YEAH, but then the on the back laying android with the exclamation mark turned up and I felt like I wanted to kill someone. It was 2 in the morning and I had to get up early to go to Dublin for two weeks. This was really not the time...
So after trying a few times of getting the OTA update message again and failing every time I got it, I started searching. Yes, CWM is installed so you can't OTA they all said. Nice, now I hate on the back laying androids AND CWM. Of course the one to hate is me, but I already hate myself so that's no use. Anyway I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit 5.6 to put back stock recovery. Now I had to wait a few weeks again before the update turned up again... By this time the phone started to be REALLY slow when scrolling through the home screen(s). It also is empty before the day is done, but I don't know if that's because of the phone being f'ed up or because I'm too demanding.
Anyway, back to the story. Finally the update came about a week ago, and again I was like YEAH YEAH! But then the on the back laying android with the exclamation mark turned up and I felt like I wanted to kill someone. To make things more fun it did a reset of my Go Launcher, 7 screens of widgets and autistic arranged shortcuts gone... Of course I wanted to try again, so this morning the OTA came again and had the same result. By now I killed quite a few, so this has to end, but don't worry there is more torment ahead.
I can't figure out what is wrong now, so I thought, f~ this s~, this phone deserves a full undress and back to the womb operation. So installing all Galaxy Nexus Toolkit v6.0 stuff and drivers. Connect phone, start toolkit, choose 3 (GSM 4.0.2. build ICL53F), phone turns up in main menu, try to put back recovery, -waiting for device-...
It stopped... Or it didn't really stop, it just stood there saying, -waiting for device-... So again a few innocent people died. Tried a different choice, (relock bootloader, just to give the phone a good beating) -waiting for device-...
I raged, pulled my hair, again killed a few, silently cried in a corner and finally started typing this eulogy...
Please kind sirs and madams, help me get this phone back to stock 4.0.4, accepting OTA, bootloader unlocked and rooted, I'm really desperate...
Why did you even root it? If u have root and cwm, you should be able to flash the rooted version of whatever stock os update you want. OTA's are a waste, you just wait a few hours for xda devs to root it and make it flash able.

How do you proceed?
First you need the SDK for you system
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
After this you have to start the SDK manager and install "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Plattform-tools" if you are using Windows you have to install USB drivers too. You could find this under the point "Extras".
After that you have to download the factory image to clean your device, once.
(Notice your SD-Card gets wiped)
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Look for right version, which fits to your device.
Now you have to bring your telefon into the bootloader by pressing all 3 buttons at the same time Volume+/Volume-/Power. After this you have to unlock your bootloader if you don't already done this.
Now plug in your phone into your computer an go into the unpacked folder from your factory image. There would be an file called flash-all. You have to run this file. Now your phone is flashed with stock rom, stock kernel newest baseband and stock recovery. Now you get ota updates from google. After this you should look for an howto root your phone in the developer section. You don't have to install clockworkmod recovery for rooting. But clockworkmod isn't change the ota. You get OTA with cwm.
Hope i understand your problem an you could understand my bad english. But i want to help. If some questions ask here into the thread.
regards

I'm out of the house a lot, leaving for Brussels in a couple of hours. I don't want the hassle anymore. I just want to be able to leave the house to go to another hotel and update OTA. I don't have time for all this flashing stuff.

When the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit says "-waiting for device-..." you need to turn off your phone, press the volume down then the volume up then the power button together. Once you have done that the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit will continue.
There is also tutorials on youtube on how to use the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit.
I hope that helps.
If you want to head back to stock ROM, then one of the ways to do it would be to install Android SDK & then follow the instructions from Google developers site.
Else you can try using the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to do this for you. I think the latest version is 5.7.

Ah yes, I now see where I went wrong with the toolkit, I didn't put the phone in fastboot. Stupid...
How is the stock recovery supposed to look like? After putting back stock recovery with the GN Toolkit, I press 'vol+/vol-/power' and choose recovery. It then displays the belly up android with exclamation mark. Is that the way it should be? Am I doin' it wrong?
yes it is the stock recovery. But you dont need it. Flashing everything into fastboot mode(bootloader)
So, I'm currently running a stock phone, but OTA won't update my phone...? Why is OTA constantly failing if I'm running everything stock? Is my bootloader supposed to be locked? Is a rooted phone not updated OTA?
If you flashed the latest Factory-Image there is no OTA out there. It is the newest version of ICS for your Device.
Maybe i don't understand what you mean with failing OTA. Could you explain it a little bit more?
As I said in the long story, I'm currently 4.0.2. and every time when my phone says, "You have update 4.0.4. standing by, please reboot" it fails.
i would prefer to flash the factory image and root your phone again
then you have a cleaned phone and OTA should work but you don't need them because you are at latest version.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
i wrote how you could flash it page before, remeber you wipe your data from sdcard

I don't know if I can answer why the OTA isn't working (I'll leave that to smarter men than I), but having an unlocked bootloader and root access won't stop the OTA. I had my phone in that state when the 4.0.4 update came out and all was fine, just had to run the command to get root of my phone again as OTA removes root.
Ah great! S~ has just hit the fan, it's bootlooping after trying option 8 (flash stock rom from google). Oh I really am going to kill myself sooner or later...
Edit: not killing myself yet, just had to pull the battery... Let's see what I f~ up next...
Very strange you problems i don't know the Toolkit and don't know how it flash the stock rom. But i could imagin that it only flash rom and not the other things like recovery and so on.
Try out the hard way without toolkit and use sdk and included batch file into the factory image. it is the clean way and you see whats done.
Ok, I now rebooted the phone after option 8 in the toolkit and it seems I'm running 4.0.4. I have to go to Brussels now for two weeks, but I'll try to post some screenshots later. I'll also be back to thank all of you for holding my hand, I just don't have the time right now. Of course this won't be my last problem (I still have a TF101 that needs some RMA action), but I hope I won't be needing too much time consuming support anymore.
Just got in the hotel, and unable to use my phone in Belgium. No available network... Wifi works, 2G/3G works in The Netherlands, 2G/3G unavailable in Belgium...

If you dont want to root and or flash roms, and knowing android its buggy and you gotta be stuffing with the phone all time to be able to be up to date, cuz even google releases updates oftem and even with OTA things can go wrong, meaning you have to do stuff again...
Dont blame Samsung or google the whole system needs some fixes all time.. I was devoted to stock but after i tried AOKP (Milestones) i wont ever go back to stock and or another rom, these guys has loads of features for a better user experience, stable as hell, and great support, but as you show with your very active/traveling life and those killer instints (poor innocent people), why dont you just go Iphone?
No need to flash anything and will plain work... Thats it no need to worry about anything but being an apple fan boy xDD
