I have Froyo and installed unrevoked forever before I updated. I can't get clockwork mod on and I am unable to to root so I can't get any of my backups restored. I hope somebody out there can help me out with this issue. Thanks in advance.
Do you have the OTA Froyo or the leak?
I used the RUU exe leak that is suppose to be same as OTA
Well I'm certainly no "expert" at this but I have been reading quite a bit lately about how to gain root access after the OTA comes out (I was rooted with the July leaked 2.2, but last night I installed uforever and then reverted back to 2.1 and 1.0 radio for the pending OTA). Try following this link and check out the bottom of the page where it talks about "reinstalling an official recovery"...it gives the download to re-install clockwork recovery (this is of course if you have S-off). Then it also gives the download to get back superuser access. Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but if your version of 2.2 is exactly the same as the OTA, this should work just the same for you. Good Luck!

hmmm...sry but I don't think I can be of more help...maybe someone else has an idea??
I believe you have to drop the recovery (CW) .zip onto the SD and it will update through the HBOOT. I think you can get it from the unrevoked site (P****.zip or something or other.
Pretty sure SD card has to be FAT32 for it to update correctly, had that problem myself

If I'm running skyraider 2.5.2 sense, 2.15 radio and .77 hboot. A few questions...
1) is there a way to upgrade hboot?
2) is .79 the most up to date version? If not, what is?
3) if I can upgrade, is there a reason to? What is the difference between the different versions of hboot?
No reason, newer HBOOTs don't really offer you any performance increase.
Upgrading to hboot 0.79 is required for successfully installing the 2.2 OTA from Verizon (not leaked version). Can someone please answer this post? There appear to be a bunch of us stuck at this point.
Akhnaten
BTW, the error the update gives is "Signature verification failure" or something like that. This is occuring with hboot 0.77.
There appears to be an updated hboot in the May OTA update. You can find the file for the upgrade at the link. I will try this out and post an update.

Ok, but what steps do we follow to upgrade hboot to 0.79 so that we can install the 2.2 OTA update?
I thought .92 hboot was out.

0.92 (or something in that range) is the version that comes with Froyo 2.2. We are talking about trying to get to Froyo 2.2 while maintaining root. When I reverted to the May OTA to upgrade from version 0.77 to 0.79, that did the trick for the upgrade. Unfortunately, step 5 in the thread post by k.electron in the "[Q] Want root AND want OTA" thread does not work. I guess I undid the root work when I reverted. Now all I get after step 5 is my phone shakes at me 5 times when I try to go into hboot. Fortunately, I can still boot my phone regularly after a battery pull. BTW, when I say "May OTA" I mean the rom version 1.22.605.2 at the link I posted earlier.

That is the HTC diagnostic mode when it vibrates multiple times. S-off unlocked it. SEARCH THE FORUM it is a common problem.
Thanks for the reply, ToyTank. I haven't looked up what the correct way to get out of diagnostic mode is yet, but I will give one final update.
I tried to reflash (ruu) the 605.2 rom and it failed. However, in the process it got me back into hboot mode. I then noticed that I was still in s-off mode. I switched to using the appropriate directions on this thread:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771178)
Condition 3, in particular
I skipped the installing 2.2 part since I had that already (from Verizon) and the rest went great. Now I am running OTA 2.2 with s-off and root.
Can someone recommend a 2.2 rom w/o all the crapware from Verizon?
Thanks,

I need to bring my phone back to sprint I tried all UNROOT methods but my USB is broke and when I try to USE the PC36IMG.zip I get an error saying something like (update is older ect..) so I got the idea that if I flash a old rom before the updates and just update my phone it will unroot me but the problem I cant find a flashable rom thats old since we moved on so much since the EVO came out???
I just had to do this two days ago. You need an updated image file, it's posted in the unrooting thread in this forum. I'm on my cell so it'll take me a while to post a link. Give me a minute.

Unless they see his s-off in hboot.
They know to check the bootloader. Just install one of the official ruu to unroot. Simple as that. I've done it.
Official RUU
Just flash an official ruu and you will be good to go. You can find them all over the place in here.
3.70 (latest RUU)
Below is a link to the very latest RUU possible so that you're phone can be brought back to stock status without root. I would recommend flashing the S-On tool also which I'll post as the second link too. The first link is to the RUU. Good luck
Official RUU (will unroot your phone/rom)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874091&highlight=ruus
The Unrevoked S-On Tool:
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever-son.zip
EDIT: Also, I was thinking, if the above won't work due to your USB issues, maybe you could flash another rom, a sense based rom, like from Flipz or someone, and then run the "system update" program from the phone and maybe it'll update you to the latest RUU using the OTA Update program. That may solve your issues for getting the phone back to stock status without SU app and without root. Then, if that works, I would reboot the phone in to the bootloader and check to see if it says S-off or S-on. If it says S-on, you're fine and ready to go to sprint. If it says S-off, download and run the unrevoked S-on tool I posted above. Hopefully you won't need USB for it to run properly, but hey, you never know. Either way, if it does, there's got to be a way to use a S-on tool out there that doesn't need USB access. Hope this info helps you out in any way possible
EDIT #2: Read the stuff in this post to help with things if the above won't work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141&highlight=ruus
When it says to connect USB and put the files on the SD Card, just use a card reader via a laptop or something to put the files on the SD Card and continue on.
I have taken my phone to sprint service centers 3 times. 2 speaker replacements, 2 screen replacements, a camera lens replacement (combined with a screen replacement, and they replaced the whole front of the phone - no more dents all around the shiny black bezel).
I always insisted they not replace the phone, as I wanna keep my 0002 HW. My phone was root with custom rom, but with a ''back to stock" theme flashed on it (thanks Virus)
My bootscreen is black (not white) with white evo 4g text, so, as soon as they turn my phone on it's obvious it's custom.
I know this isn't as helpful as previous posts, I'm just saying worst-case-scenario flash a stock theme and you'll probably be fine. I've had more than one tech tell me 'as long as you try to make it look stock, make the effort, that's good enough'.
Especially given that it's a hardware related issue, rather than a SW issue - I mean, they wont blame root access for your USB port not working.
Good luck, hope you get it sorted either way.

How old of a ROM are you looking for? There are plenty of 3.30 Software roms. Myn's RLS4 is 3.30 software, RLS3 is 3.29, etc. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8341836 That's a link to Myn's thread. Look in post #3, all of his older releases are linked there. Also, if you look in Myn's Signature, there's a link to OTA Supersonic 3.29, stock, rooted base rom.
With all that said, I don't think that will remedy you're 'main version older' problem. I believe it checks your hboot version, or radio versions or something. Not the actual software version. I could be wrong, but I believe that's the case. I would try a couple of the different PC36IMG's in this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu. It has all of the recent versions. If thew newest PC36IMG doesn't work, try the next older one (3.30) etc. One of them is bound to work for you. Good luck.
Some people have a 2nd Gmail account that isn't tied to any root apps incase the techs at sprint get nosey and look where they shouldn't be....

...bookmark it
When I did unroot, I restored my nandroid from before I installed ota 3.70, then unistall superuser (won't go away if you do a wipe), once your good to go, then use ra recovery to flash the official 3.70 ota, don't reboot once that completes, then flash s-on, then reboot you phone. I would recomend pulling ur sd card before taking it in, and doing a data wipe just to make sure all signs of root are gone

Where did you try downloading from? I've never got a corrupted one from the link I posted above. Did you try redownloading? Do you have a good internet connection?
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.

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.

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.

hey guys i got it working thanks for your help!!!!
I was able to run an older version of Unrevoked to establish SU access, but Unrevoked Forever is incompatible with my radio version. So, I have SU access, but I cannot remove or convert any applications using Titanium Backup. TB runs, but it reboots the phone if I try to remove system apps. HBOOT shows S-ON since Unrevoked Forever was not able to complete due to the radio version. So, am I stuck with S-ON? Is Unrevoked Forever going to continue developing releases to cover 2.15.10.07.07?
If I understand correctly, I cannot flash an older radio version with S-ON. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks!
HTC Incredible
2.3.4
Baseband: 2.15.10.07.07
you are correct,s-on will only let you go forward with "approved by htc" files. that means no backpeddling firmware to a rootable version,no flashing only a radio or recovery. im surprised that unrevoked even worked to get you su access,i was under the impression that all exploits had been patched in 2.3.4 source code. what happens if you try and install clockwork?
if you truly have su access,it seems it may be possible to use adb to rewrite the misc image,and thus be able to flash backwards in firmware.
however,from the sounds of the behavior youre describing for tibu,i dont believe you have su access. it prolly only put the app in the drawer,and was unable to place the matching binary.
we have been telling folks for months that they should become s-offed before the GB update,as it would be unrootable.
i bought an xtc clip awhile back that is supposed to support the incredible. i dont know that it will actually work,ill know for sure when it gets here. im told it only works with sim card phones,wich the inc is not,but its clearly listed in the supported devices.
your only real hope at this point is that someone finde a new exploit that will allow temp root and re-writing of the misc image so that you can flash older rootable firmware,or that alpharev/unrevoked can add the incredible to its supported devices list,as they use some sort of hboot trickery to get a hard patched permanent s-off hboot onto the phone first. from there you load a recovery thru hboot,then flash su in recovery.
sorry this isnt the news youre hoping for.
Thank you for the help.
It is odd. I definitely have su access through terminal, and I am running opengarden and barnacle wi-fi tether. I ran an older version of Unrevoked, and it did not complete the final step of s-off. Clockworkmod installed successfully, and I created a recovery image. Can we expect some way to root after the GB update? Is this just an HTC thing? I'm sorry for all of the questions, but I was soooo close!

Scotty,
I'm sorry for the delayed response.
I do not have ADB setup, but I have no problem following directions to get S-off and reclaim some memory!
I have emailed you the Unrevoked file to your email address. This should run perfectly on 2.3.4 with the exception of the last step of flashing unrevoked.zip for S-off. You will see the "unsupported radio version" errors on the phone's screen. Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do to help. Thank you for your help with this.
I got your email. I will put some stuff together for you,and try it out and see if it all works the way I hope it will. If so ill upload a mini-adb with some exploits files and post a guide. Basically,were just going to rewrite the misc image so you can downgrade back to froyo and run unrevoked forever. After you reroot and get s-off back,you can restore a backup of what you have now.

Ok after reading this thread again. My guide for the merge on froyo or the stuff I have for gingerbread for the merge will not work on a non emmc device. 2nd who buys a xtc clip and doesn't look what they buy? The way it works is with the sim card slot. Inc doesn't have one so it isn't going to work. It also isn't listed as supported as it would be pointless to say it does.
If I am not mistake with s-on you can't flash the recovery partition. So how did you get clockworkmod? If you have clockworkmod then you can flash non htc files. Well actually I am not sure how that would work as you have s-on but clockworkmod. Since I have never been in that boat I am unsure.
So are we talking about the inc or inc 2? If inc I am trying to think back to the desire and what was possible on s-on. If I remember right you can dump the misc then flash a lower version ruu. I just can't remember if it doesn't even flash or if it does and doesn't downgrade the radio. By the way I got it in a pm/here scotty was planning to base helping you off my merge guide. By the sounds of it anyway.
Where the commands are not the same. As the partitions would be different. The misc-image is also not the same so if he had you flash the merge misc it will more than likely bork stuff. I am more than willing to help though. How ever I do not check the forums so you are better off pming me. I will say that nothing will probably work until unrevoked supports the new radio.
Edit: If the incredible works with a goldcard. Dump the misc partition and edit it for the firmware version you want to downgrade to. Then run a lower version ruu. When that is done run unrevoked. Of course I don't have a inc so I am not sure if that will work either. I also jumped a bit to conclusions so sorry for that. I also do not get your one post about the xtc clip here, yet in that other post say the clip doesn't support the inc.
thanks for your input,but rest assured we are in no way shape or form refering to anything to do with drellisdees's guide,your copy of it,or any other files,guides,etc. you have linked or posted on this site or yours.
he allready has root access and a recovery partition.

SUCCESS!!
Instructions from the website flawlessly for me.
I first rooted the phone. Then I tested it with some root only apps. They all worked. So ideally you can stop here if all you want is root but next OTA will take away root and then you'll be stuck again.
I completed all the steps and they worked. I was able to downgrade to 2.2 and then run unrevoke3 to root and also turn S-off. It did wipe the data clean. No files from my SDcard were deleted.
This is the time i've rooted my phone and the whole process took me an hour because I was being extra careful not to miss any steps. It all went smoothly.

Ok, I'm on Linux, Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04.3 to be exact, and I have adb installed. Where can I find the Linux version of unrevoked 3.22. I have found several places on the interwebz but I'm not sure if I trust those sources.
Help Please
Just like the op I have a Dinc that is on Gingerbread 2.3.4 and baseband 2.15.10.07.07 and desperate to have root. S-OFF would be nice, but root would be just fine for now.
More than happy to be the Guinea-pig on a Linux system.
sorry,i have no idea. i did a quick search and couldnt even find the windows version of 3.22 that i uploaded... i wanted to link it at its source,since it was emailed to me,but im not sure where he downloaded it from. you might follow the link in the first post credits to the original xda thread and ask on that thread,or send efizzle a private message and see if he can help you. in a worse case scenario,as long as you have 3.32 for linux,you could get temp root and downgrade with the "zergRush" method described in past #2. it doesnt require 3.22,but you wont be able to make a backup,or run titanium unless you can push SU,the binary,and busybox to their respective locations after acquiring a temp root.
Hi all,
Here is my problem, the other day when updates were being pushed out by VZW my Incredible updated, I woke the next morning and found that I had no root and no way to tether. I have tried unrevoked3 and followed all instructions and still no luck on the matter. I even re-downloaded everything and nothing. Can anyone help me with this.

I'm presuming the gingerbread update reset your recovery to stock. First of all, unrevoked doesn't work on the gingerbread OTA that you received. However, if you're S-OFF you're still in luck. First check if you are. Go to HBOOT and at the top next to the HBOOT version it will either say S-OFF or S-ON. If you rooted with a recent version of unrevoked you should be S-OFF unless you manually flashed S-ON. Then read through the site below

It willl instruct you how to boot into HBOOT and flash an image to get clockworkmod back. Then you should be able to flash a custom recovery again or superuser to get root back. I don't know offhand about the superuser flashing but if you flash wildstang's OTA ROM you will have root again.
