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!

Sticky #6 for a reference...these forums are getting overrun by people who don't follow posting rules. Wading through "help me" posts in the Development forums is getting horrible. Wish the mods would start enforcing some of these rules.

Yep I do have S-off which is why I'm confused
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
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.

There's a copy of the updated file in that thread.
did you find this when you searched?

They only look for the superuser application. Flash a stock rooted rom. Remove the superuser app and you will be good to go.

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....
.........at 8 am today someone poisons the coffee....do not drink the coffee. More instructions will follow.
Cordially,

may be late to the party, but check out some of these theres a **** load of old ROM's lol...

...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?
Hey, so I'm reinstalling everything on my new computer blablablah..
I go to redownload gfree from the links here on xda, and I observe large bolded red text informing me that "HDD FAILED, ALL FILES LOST" when I reach the link's destination..
So... Does anybody care to share where one might find the newest version of gfree? Links? Discuss?
That'd be cool if someone uploaded their spare .zip of it lol. I need version .06 or above.
Hi,
check out the cyanogenmod wiki Click.
I just tried their link for gfree 0.7, seemed to work without any issues.
Sweet. Thanks for the link.
I have searched all over and can't find a link to the .92 hboot. I am on .77 and apparently that doesn't work with some of the roms.
Can anyone help me with a link or file?
Also, as a side note, could that be causing my cronic FCs on CM7.1?
"Pvillecomp.com" has everything you need. The original site for hboots, recoveries, etc. was "dougpiston.com" but that's no longer supported.
As a point of reference hboot. 92 is required for gingerbread roms that's why you may have difficulty installing them and that is one of the main reasons you have problems with CM7.

Thanks!
That is exactly what I was looking for. I kept finding broken links to dougpiston.com.
I will give CM7 another try with the new hboot. Love the ROM
My pleasure, happy flashing!
I made the dumb mistake of running Revolutionary with my Incredible 2, which came with Android 2.2 (eBay used unlocked). I got S-OFF but couldn't root, and now I'm trying to find the best way to upgrade to 2.3. I have T-Mobile and can't get any OTA updates.
I believe I can flash the 2.3 firmware to the phone if I find this file:
PG32IMG_RUU_Vivo_W_VERIZON_WWE_1.34.605.4_Radio_0. 99.01.0225_2_NV_VZW1.92_release_182876_signed.zip
then rename it "PG32IMG.zip", put it on the SD card and boot with it. But I can't find that exact file name now that multiupload is gone.
Any advice appreciated!
UPDATE: Found it - I can't post links yet, but the HTC Incredible S forum has a link to a site with several Verizon RUU's. It's on filefactory.
