[Q] lost root after last update

If you have Unrevoked 3 installed:
1. Download stock Evo Recovery image (Can't find it anywhere... EVO Stock Recovery? - xda-developers)
2. Place the file in root of SD card and reboot into HBOOT (volume down/power button)
3. Do the update that HBOOT asks (vol. up for YES)
4. Reboot
5. Once rebooted, download OTA and install (should work now)
6. Once install finishes successfully you can reinstall a custom recovery using the same method (a list of them are here: public:forever [RootWiki])
7. Once you have a custom recovery back, you will need to reinstall Superuser as an update.zip through recovery ([APP] Superuser 2.3.6.1 - Now on the Market [2010-09-05] - xda-developers)
8. Reboot and enjoy!
Well I followed the instructions and the update went through... HOWEVER I have now lost root.... Help please.
EDIT: S-OFF does appear when I boot into the bootloader...

[GUIDE] Remove permanent root

** I AM NOT LIABLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE OR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY YOUR STUPIDITY**
This guide will follow the steps needed to remove permanent root and bring your device back to 100% stock
Here are the following files we will need to download please grab the files needed below and place them on the root of your sdcard
1-a) Stock PRE-OTA Rom rooted:
Stock PRE-OTA Rom
or
1-b) Download the attached HexEditor on the thread
2.) Stock Factory Bootloader / Recovery / ROM / Kernel:
Stock Factory Bootloader / Recovery / ROM / Kernel
(rename this to PC10IMG.ZIP)
3.) T-Mobile OTA Update - Build # 1.22.531.8:
T-Mobile OTA Update
(rename this to update.zip)
Procedure:
Step 1.) Flash Stock Rooted PRE-OTA Rom via ClockWorkMod
Open up RomManger via the Android Launcher and select "Install ROM from SD Card" and select the "stock_root.zip" on the root of the sdcard and select the option to "Wipe Data and Cache" and hit ok. Once rom is flashed it will reboot automatically and bring you back to the os.
**IMPORTANT**
If the flash has failed you must reboot back into the OS and use HexEditor which i have attached to the thread. DO NOT PROCEED UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE THIS!!
Open up an ADB Shell and run the following command:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/misc.img
this will then export the misc.img file we need to edit to the root of the sdcard.
Mount your sdcard and save the misc.img file to your PC and Open the file with HexEditor.
You should now see the version number on the right hand side of the application and it should read "1.22.531.8" YOU MUST CHANGE THIS TO "1.19.531.1" you can now save the file as miscnew.img and place it on the root of your sdcard and then unmount the sdcard from windows.
Now go back to your ADB Shell and run the following command
dd if=/sdcard/miscnew.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
you can now make sure you have copied the PC10IMG.zip file to the root of your SDCARD and power off your phone and proceed to step 2.
*All Credit goes to Apache14 for this method which is in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831398
Step 2.) Restore factory BOOTLOADER, RECOVERY, KERNEL, ROM (THIS RE-ENABLES S-ON)
Place the factory firmware you downloaded in step 2 above on the root of your sdcard and rename it to PC10IMG.zip one you have done this power off the device and power back on by holding volume down and power. Once in the bootloader it will then scan your sdcard and find the file needed, be patient this can take quite a few minutes. After it finishes scanning you will then have to hit the Volume up key on the side of the phone to restore the software. This will take approximately 5-10 minutes. The phone will reboot in the middle of the update to restore S-ON once rebooted it will then scan sdcard again and resume flashing. Once completed you will have to hit Power to reboot and boot back into the factory restored android os.
Step 3.) -OPTIONAL- Apply OTA Update from T-Mobile
Boot back into android and mount your sdcard once again. You will now delete the PC10IMG.zip file we copied previously. Once you have deleted the file copy the file we downloaded in step 3 above to the root of the sdcard and rename it to “update.zip”. You can now power down your device and power back on holding volume down and power. Once in the bootloader wait 5-10 for it to finish scanning your sdcard and hit volume down and power to select RECOVERY. Once in recovery mode you must now hold volume up and power on your G2. You will now hit volume down and power to select "apply sdcard:update.zip" It will then scan your sdcard verify the update.zip file we placed on the root of the sdcard and proceed to install. You will then have to hit power once more to reboot when indicated on the device. This will now take approximately another 5 minutes and the phone will reboot 2 times automatically do not touch until you are booted automatically back into android.
You are now 100% Back to stock with S-ON, Factory ROM, and Factory Recovery.

Finally, an undo method for permaroot.
Just one question: will this wipe my apps and content? I suspect it will; I just want to confirm it.

Yes. It will wipe. Make a back up of your data and restore it after. This can be done via titanium backup
[G2/HTC Vision]

I ran Visionary and everything seem to be working ok until I rebooted my G2. Now When I ran Visionary it says that the phone is already rooted, but when I use terminal emulator or adb to root is says suermission denied. When I try to Flash Stock Rooted PRE-OTA Rom via ClockWorkMod I get this error "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands". Also when I try to Restore factory BOOTLOADER, RECOVERY, KERNEL, ROM I do exactly as you said and I'm getting a no image found. I would appreciate any help you could provide.

If all you need is root go to rom manager and click on download rom and under extras download superuser e/f then install the zip this flash the superuser.apk you are missing

[Q] Stuck at one step after rooting

I rooted my wildfire HBoots 1.01.0001 using AlpharevX from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318. After that to install a custom rom, i followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824396 Pt 3- flashin your first rom..but couldnt go beyond the first step because after clicking on the problem button there was no option to download busybox.
Also, after starting the titanium backup, it showed that root access has failed. what am i supposed to do now? please help..

You have to flash Superuser. Sorry, I missed listing it in my tutorial thread.
- Download this file and place on your SD Card: http://bit.ly/su2361ef
- Then, reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery (Point 2 in the "Flashing your first ROM Post")
- Flash the file you just placed on your SD Card from within Clockworkmod Recovery (Point 5 in the "Flashing your first ROM post")
Then, reboot your system, check whether your app drawer has a "Superuser" Icon in it or not. If it does, the root process is complete, and you can now use Titanium backup without problems, and start following the ROM flashing process again.

[q]Stock rom

Can some one suggest me where download and how installa the stock rom for wildfire.
Now I use a cynogen 7 and i want go back to original froyo + sense

There are 3 primary ways to do that:
1) If you had taken a Nandroid Backup before installing CM7, Just restore that. (But I am assuming you didn't, hence you are asking this)
2) If you want to retain root and Clockworkmod Recovery, just flash this ROM. Its Stock Froyo + Sense:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
The process to install that is as follows:
- Download this attachment and place on your SDCard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
- Flash in Clockworkmod 3.x or higher. This will give you temporary Clockworkmod 2.5 (Green Text)
- Then, perform a Data Wipe, and install the ROM Zip file as normal.
3) If you dont want to retain root and Clockworkmod
- Download the Froyo RUU from Shipped ROMs (Froyo WWE 2.22.405.1 EXE) from Shipped ROMs:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
- Connect Wildfire to the PC, and simply run it.

Hi, I'm back
Just 2 questions
I downloaded both files
i copied both files on sd then i started rom manager and tapped on first field to
Flask clockwork mod recovery
Then? what i have to do to revert to Clockworkmod 2.5?

I can't understand what you mean by your first question at all. Clockworkmod Recovery flashed via ROM Manager is temporary. Your original Clockworkmod will remain untouched. So if you are using the option called Flash Clockworkmod Recovery in ROM Manager, then the next step is to select Reboot into Recovery from the ROM Manager App again, then flash the ROM File. In this case, you can discard the update1.zip file, as it has no significance.
As for your second question, mirrors of the EXE RUU can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275680

My first question is simple
on my phone i have rom manager and there is a row named "Flask clockwork mod recovery"
but
i don't know how go back from cynogen to stock rom using clockwork mod recovery
can you help me step by step?
and the stock [with no root] rom for wildfire with froyo is this one?
RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.2 4H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe (This RUU contains HBoot 1.01.0001)
i need only to connect the phone to pc and run the exe?

First, decide what you want to do - Flash the EXE RUU, or Flash the Safe Flash ZIP File. If you decide to flash the Safe ZIP file, you will keep Clockworkmod Recovery, which will allow you to flash stuff later. If you select the EXE RUU, Clockworkmod Recovery will be removed, so you will NOT be able to flash anything, like ROMs, Kernels etc.
Once you have decided, here are the steps:
1) If you decide to install the Safe Flash ZIP File
- Download the Safe Flash ZIP from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
Rooted / Unrooted, Its upto you which version you want. Rooted version has Superuser, so you can run apps like Titanium Backup etc. Unrooted doesnt have Superuser, so you cant run root apps.
- Place this file on your SDCard
- Now, open ROM Manager
- Select Flash Clockworkmod Recovery. Then make sure you select 2.5.0.7. NOT a version beginning with 3.x, 4.x or 5.x
- Once it is installed, in ROM Manager, the next option will be 'reboot into recovery'. Select that
- Once you select that, then you will be taken to Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 (Which has all its options in Green coloured Text). Here, select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset". This step will erase all data on your phone (Not on your SDcard, Just your phone data. This step is essential when changing ROMs)
- Lastly, select "Install Zip from SDCard", and then, select the ZIP file you placed on your card at the beginning of this step. Let it install. Once installed, Select "Reboot System Now", and let the phone reboot. Done
2) If you decide to run the EXE RUU
- Its pretty much 1 step. Connect the phone to your PC and run the EXE File. It will automatically perform the install. If you get an Error 131 - Customer ID Error, you will need to create a Goldcard. There's a guide for that here:

Flash this zip file in CWM3: (Install Zip from SDCard > Choose Zip from SDCard. (Don't select the "Apply update.zip option)

It will give you temporary 2.5.0.7, then you can flash the ROM. (It is temporary, so, everytime you want CWM 2.5.0.7, you will have to flash this Zip file)

[q] new evo update wont let me root

hey guys i am really lost and i am trying to figure out wat to do but here is my problem i am trying to root one of my friends evo and he did the latest evo update and for some reason i cant root with unrevoked and my sdk revisions is taking forever to update is there quick and painles way to do it or no one cick roots yet??

Unrevoked hasn't worked since Froyo, at least 6 months ago. You used to be able to use Revolutionary to root gingerbread, but since the latest update the only way to root it is to use the HTCDEV unlock method.

Theres no one click app that works yet,but you can try revolutionary root...
1: Download and install HTC drivers HTC drivers
2: Download the rooting tool/program revolutionary . You will need to enter in your Evo's serial number (under the battery) and be sure to save the beta key.You'll need it later,you will also need to copy and paste,sometimes it won't take if you type it in.
3: Enable USB debugging (settings>applications>development>turn on USB debugging) and connect the evo to your PC as charge only
4: Un-zip the S-OFF tool and run the program, making sure to install the custom recovery when prompted. (unless you already know what you're doing and want to put Amon_Ra or TWRP recovery on there)
5: Download SuperUser and boot into recovery. To enter recovery: power off completely, yes battery pull while off too be sure, then hold volume down+power and from there go to recovery and confirm.
6: install superuser from recovery (you must put the Superuser zip on the SD card first, before booting into recovery. Or mount your SD card while in recovery to take it too your Evo. OR, download it too your phone before booting into recovery )
YOU ARE NOW ROOTED.
7: (optional but highly recommended) Make a nandroid backup via recovery and then put it on the PC just to be sure nothing will happen too it.
Now you said your friend installed the new update,there has been an issue with rooting after the new update,because the bootloader was updated and locked.If thats the case,then go here .

Unlock bootloader via HTCDEV method.
Flash your custom recovery.
Mount your phone, move your ROM zip onto your SD card.
Reboot phone/bootloader/fastboot then in your cmd prompt (pointed to your SDK folder) boot your phone into your recovery.
In your recovery flash the zip file of your preferred ROM.
