I need to return my phone because the earphone speaker is whacked out but I have spent the last couple hours trying to unroot it and NOTHING is working...
First I tried HTC Sync on my computer, and I get the Error [171]: USB Connecetion Error
Then I tried HTC sync on my bros computer (since I have unrooted using his laptop before with no problems) and I get a different error saying something about i have the wrong version of data utility updater or whatever.
I spent the last couple hours googleing both errors and looking for fixes, but for some reason I could not get any of them to work. I am as frustrated as can be rite now, and any help would be greatly appreciated....
I'd prefer some sort of "dumbed down" step by step process rather than being sent to a another link, because chances are I have tried that method already and I couldn't get it to work...
I also can not get adb shell to work. I installed the sdk, but it still wont show up...
any help from anybody will be greatly appreciated...
try applying the current over the air update. That took root away for many if I remember correctly.
did you enable USB debuging?
I tried searching for the ota's but they're not showing up.
also I am running dc 3.2 currently, which has debugging mode auto-enabled I believe.
So you tried using a stock rom from here to get your phone unrooted?
If you download one of those stock RUU roms it will be an exe file that will automatically install the rom to your phone...is this what you are saying isn't working?
Have you tried doing a full wipe/clear before running anything?
I had the same error when I was unrooting mine. I just unplugged the Evo while it still had the boot loader screen then ran the stock RUU. Worked like a charm.
yes. I tried installing the shipped RUU using HTC Sync, but sync keeps ****ting out on me and giving me errors. My only option seems to be unrooting my phone without using htc sync. But I have tried a couple of the methods e found, but none of them had detailed enough instructions for me to make them work....
I'v literally spent the majority of my day trying to unroot this damn phone and its driving me crazy.... I don't know wth the problem is.. I unrooted a previous EVO before, now it seems hopeless /:

I'd find you the link but I'm at work right now but someone has a fix for that error. Basically I got that error whenever I tried to run the stock RUU and when the phone had the bootloader screen up I just took out the USB cable, stuck it back in, and then ran the RUU again.

Well...I guess I missed that one when I was tooling around, so I wrote my own. You're right. It clearly mentions needing the proper HBOOT, which I found was the key.. But it doesn't mention how to UN ROOT after you "Start Over." It's basically the same thing though...Cheers...

When I place the PC zip file on my sd card and then boot into Hboot, it fails to recognize the card.
I used simple root to root my phone and I am running the .79 Hboot.
I'm trying to follow your instructions but I am about ready to throw this god dam phone at the wall and use insurance to get another one

You have the wrong H Boot. See here: http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7471721#post7471721
Should work on any .79 HBOOT in theory, but you have to change it to the .76 one before the RUU or the zip step you are having trouble with. Do Toast's step two which is found in the thread linked above.
Okay, so I installed a leaked OTA on my phone which gave it 720p and yadi yada..its not the FroYo update. Anyway, so i want to downgrade, but i cannot get my phone rooted at all. I tried doing the Unrevoked method, and heres the mutiple things that happened...It will stay stuck saying pushing recovery...or it will reboot completely and stay stuck saying waiting for reboot, or it will say communtications lost(or something like that), or it will say waiting for system to settle. But it WILL NOT root...at first i thought it was my computer, but i tried it on another one and got the same results. Not only do i want to get rid of the update, but before i installed the OTA, i installed the Droid Incredible official boot animation on there and i cannot get it off nor can i get any other boot animations on there.....in general, i want it to be factory fresh. PLEASE HELP!
Dod you uninstall htc synch

If your having trouble with unrevoked make sure you have the bootloader driver installed and that you have htc sync removed along with the my htc driver uninstalled

thankyou guys so much, it worked!
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
S-ON
Its bootlooping at the white HTC EVO4 screen.
Any ideas.
I have tried RUU:
3.26.651.6
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, last week, my old droid died in it's sleep. I'm currently unemployed and a friend was kind enough to give me his old Incredible. He has it rooted with CyanogenMod, and I have been trying to activate it on PagePlus. I have not been able to OTA activate it as is, and I've read it's because of the non-stock mod flashed on. I've been scouring these and similar forums for the past week, going through solution after solution to no avail. It's become a time-sensitive issue.
What I have done so far:
Downloaded the s-on and pb31img.zip: The s-on thing flashed properly, but when I try to flash the PB31IMG.zip, it just says installation aborted. I've tried downloading the zip file from multiple sources, in case it was an issue with the file. I've tried flashing Jellybean just to see if there was an issue with flashing any other roms at all and it worked fine.
Downloaded, installed, and updated HTC Sync and the correct RUU to go with my baseband. I can not for the life of me get either of these programs to recognize my phone while it's plugged in, despite the phone and computer separately recognizing each other and being able to interact normally otherwise. I believe this to be a driver issue, and I can not find the appropriate driver. All inquires to the correct one have guided me towards getting the SDK package, downloading the driver from there and installing it. I did this. When I attempt to search for drivers in the designated folder, it tells me that it can't be installed correctly. I have tried this from two computers with Windows 7 to the same effect.
I would appreciate any help on this asap, as I am waiting on several employment-related calls and have reached my wit's end on finding a solution on my own.
Did you tried to flash stock rom?
May be this helps

Yes, I did. It did not work. That, from my understanding, is what I was attempting to do with the PB31IMG.zip.

I appreciate the quick search, but I have done those things to the letter multiple times and described doing them as such, as well as the issues I encountered.

Reflash soff and then just flash touch of blue and you can activate on page+ from there and if you want cm back just flash cm7 and the gapps because a factory wipe in recovery won't make you reactivate

Thread moved. Please post in the correct sections of the forum, all questions belong here in Q&A, unfortunately ticking the "Is this a question" box doesn't automatically put it in here.

I would get s-off back, as it will not affect activating. Then either do this ruu http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip, thru hboot, or as stated earlier reroot and flash the stock 4.08.605.15 rom or Touch of blue. If the ruu dosent work, try reformating your sdcard fat32 and then try again.

Page Plus doesn't care a hoot if you've got a stock ROM, CyanogenMod, are rooted, or any of that stuff. And they certainly can't tell if you are s-off or s-on. I have had zero issued doing OTA programming on my Dinc regardless of the many ROMs I've had on it. I've always just dialed *22890 to activate and *22891 to update the PRL. Granted, I haven't changed my phone number or deactivated in quite a while...
But yeah, like others said, get s-off back if you at all can. If you flash Touch of Blue or another stock-based ROM, you will have more access to manually programming it that you can get with CyanogenMod.
