Well Right Now Some How ive messed up my Evo.
I had used Simpleroot to root the phone but i know need it back to factory settings. When i tried to use a one of the RUUs it made my Hboot change from .76 to .79. Whenever i try to use simple root again to get my Hboot back the PC36IMG wont update.
Im on the 1.47 stock room since i can still boot into RA recovery. Ive also just tried to use another Ruu but this time it wont load into the bootloader and gives me the 170 error.
Ive tried all the RUUs and even tried to move the PC36IMG to my phone manually but nothing seems to work. I dont get it.

Hi guys, I'm at the end of my tether now!
My phone kept rebooting when using Navigation yesterday, then after the 3rd time it has just been stuck on the HTC boot screen and nothing will fix it.
I can't even get into recovery, so I cant do a nandroid restore.
I have been using Leedroid 2.2e with no problems before this.
I have tried flashing the latest RUU but because I had the latest Froyo already installed it wont work as it needs to be an older version on the phone.
I cant downgrade Froyo to an older version as I cant get into the phone to turn on USB debugging.
I have only had the phone 2 weeks, please help if possible.
If you use the 2.10.405.2 or 2.29.405.2 RUUs they should flash with no issues. Might be worth extracting out the ROM.zip from the RUU, rename it PB99IMG.zip, copy it to the sd card and go into HBOOT and it should revert back to stock (assuming it can read the card)
I tried flashing the 2.10.405.2 RUU but it fails halfway with a Customer ID error, and I know the goldcard is good so I thought it must be failing the check for older software version.
I also tried renaming and flashing the rom from the card, but the phone read the file and a progress bar went up the right hand side of the screen, then nothing, it just stopped.
I'm not really clued up on these things, but I have been doing a lot of reading on various forums.
Hey EddyOS, thanks for the heads up on the 2.29.405.2 RUU, that was what I needed to flash over my current rom.
All back and running now, after being up all night trying to fix it.
I'm scared to root and put a custom rom on now in case it happens again and I have to send it in for a warranty repair, that was my biggest worry.
Thanks again!
Okay, I'm attempting to gain root access, basically I followed
# Arrow# [GUIDE] How to root Android 2.2 on the EVO 4G
I flashed my phone back to the 2.1 froyo version, but now I am stuck, when I reboot my phone with unrevoked it automatically selects the first option HBOOT with no input from me.
I THINK this may have to do with the fact that I can't get the HBOOT driver's installed. I can't find where the driver's should be installed when rebooted. So now I'm stuck on FROYO 2.1, with no root access. I know that getting to 2.1 is the hardest part of root, but I need to know how to get the phone rooted. Please if anyone can post info, or has had a similar problem please post here if you can help me.
Did your phone originally have 3.30 on it? If so, you need to flash the leaked 3.30 rom back, then follow the instructions about how to turn S-OFF with hboot 2.02.

Where can I find instructions on flashing 3.3 I'm not even sure how I flashed 2.1
bump, if no one can help me get my phone rooted, can you at least let me know how to get it back to normal, so I have the built-in flashlight app etc.
i never thought i would need help with rooting, but i have the same problem. i have boot .97. which should make it easy. i am stock 2.1 and i am trying to flash a pc36img.zip but it simply wont load. it goes all the way to checking, and dumps me back at the hboot. no idea what i am doing wrong. i will try some troubleshooting now. ?!?!
edit i now have .79. trying to flash rooted pc... holding 3.29 now. wish me luck
same problem. goes from checking straight back to hboot. no idea at all.
Ok, for the background:
I rooted with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045 And I have tried unrooting with the method there.
Unrooting with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141 (and I have tried others).
The problem is that if I run Unrevoked S-on, none of the PC36IMG's will load and give the error "main version is older". I can run the PC36IMG (and I have tried MANY different versions of that) with S-off, but then since there is no longer a recovery, I am unable to flash Unrevoked S-on. I have tried many RUU's but if S-on, they won't load..only with S-off.
So I've tried doing this with recovery, without recovery, with S-on and off, flashing PC36IMG's, flashing RUU's....nothing works. I'm running out of time to mail this phone back and I'm pretty much out of ideas.
If I were to rename Unrevoked S-on to PC36IMG would that work in the bootloader, or would the phone flash the data to the wrong area and brick the phone for good?
I have searched through many threads and I think I haven't gotten any advice because people generally aren't looking through those threads if they are already rooted, or already good with unrooting.
Ok, I think that's about it. I have Hboot 2.02, hardware 0003.
Thank you So much, in advance!
The PC36IMG in that thread is most likely outdated. Run the s-on tool and then grab the latest RUU from HERE and run it from your desktop and you should be in the clear.
Thanks, I'll give it a try. I haven't downloaded RUU's from that site I know for sure.
That's just a mirror site that drmacinyasha set up for files and such.

Well it is nice that each one has an MD5 to check. Odds are that I've already tried these RUU's, but I'll give it a shot anyway.
That RUU doesnt even see the phone.
Well I tried a 3.7 PC36IMG file before, and went ahead and tried it again. For some reason this time, it actually worked. So there must have been some issue with the original rooting...or the file transfer before. I have no idea. Whatever, it actually worked and it's back to stock again.
Thanks for your help!
So, I have had my EVO rooted for a while now but it has recently developed a charging issue with the USB port. I want to take it into Sprint to have it looked at so I need it unrooted.
I used unrevoked to root it in the first place so I followed the instructions on their site to unroot. I hit and odd snag at that point. You are supposed to flash the s-on path in recovery, which worked fine, then reboot to HBOOT and let it install the PC36img file, which is where my problem first started. No matter how many times I tried it would not install that file. It kept saying it was older than the rom version I was running. From there I also tried multiple times to install from HTC Sync with offical RUUs which achieved the same result. Getting frustrated I put s-off back on and tried the pc36img once more with great success. It booted right into an older stock version of Android.
Here is where I'm currently at. I went back to HBOOT and tried to launch recovery and...oops...the custom recovery is gone and all that is left is the very stock 3 option one where the only thing I can flash is update.zip leaving me unable to enable s-on again so I can take it to the Sprint store.
I have tried rerooting again with unrevoked and it keeps failing to install custom recovery. Any ideas? Is there possibly an update.zip out there that would turn s-off to s-on?
Thanks.
I've messed up big time now guys.
The background to the issue is that i wanted to upgrade my DZ to android 2.3 but when I tried to install the update Clockwork recovery wouldn't install it, so I figured that I need to install the original bootloader.
So I went into hboot and install what I tought was the original, it was, but it was for the G2.
So I tried in all kind of ways to get back to the DZ hboot but nothing works.
And after doing to many things, the latest thing I did was flashing a nandroidbackup from my DZ, and now I am stuck at boot screen.
However I can get into hboot and Clockwork recovery, so I don't think I am totally screwed, right?
But is there a way to get back to my old DZ at all?
Edit: I have the DZ bootloader now, but when in hboot trying to update to DZ it just fails.
Edit 2: Just wanted to say that I solved the problem, found an older nandroidbackup and flashing that one did the trick, sorry for posting..
