I used unrevoked 3.21 to root and after that the first step where it looks for .img file was taking longer then usual to compelete, so I thought it has hboot issue o i used donwgrade hboot method with desire hboot, not I can not root my phone even. I ran ruu etc before running unrevoked but no success.Can I undo hboot thing?
desire h-boot?
Run the RUU.
Let the phone reboot to the black HTC screen.
When the RUU stops, force stop it on the pc.
Do not touch the phone, leave it at that screen.
Re-run the RUU, and it will work this time.
RUU works fine to restore stock rom. Or are you saying that if I force stop and restart, it will bring back my hboot to evo hboot?
Can you get to the boot loader
Ok so if u have got the radio failed pu you dont have a rom anymore so you need to do this
open my computer go to c drive go to user go to your username then up at the top go to the address bar and type in appdata so for mine it would say
c:\users\chris\appdata for something like that then when your in the app data folder you will see local click on that then you will see temp click on that now to make this easyer you sould erase everything in your temp folder that you can now
download the ruu 3.30 exe and when you get it downloaded go and load it up and when the program is ready for you to go through the steps of updating just dont touch it
Go back to your temp folder and you should see a couple more folders appreare in one of thoughs folders you will see another folder and like corecomp or something like that then you will also see dotnet well go to the other folder in that folder then go to the bottom and you will see (rom) move it to your desktop and rename it PC36img or what ever its suppose to be then erase the rom on your sd card and put this one on it and then go back into your bootloader and flash that one and it should work it did for mine the only thing is it will put you back on 3.30 the s-off will still be there if you have done the unrevokted forever this will also allow you to run the unrevoked 3.21 and it will give you a partial root with super user and i still have not been able to flash custom rooms but i am running superuser and root explorer and wireless tether on my eve and it is working good
So just to recap
If you have not got to the part where you can load unrevoked forever and you do my method you will return to stock and also unrevoked 3.21 will not work unless you have s-off
Now if you have s- off but cant get roms on your phone do this method and you will be able to get the stock rom on your phone then you can run unrevoked 3.21 for windows that is the one i did but it gave me superuser and it was flawless just do what it says.
have fun hope this helps get your phone back it did mine and 2 other so im sure it will work

Or you could just RUU and let it run on auto,
then re-root and load your custom rom.

I did run RUU and got rom installed fine, but after that unrevoked does not work. It goes through first two reboots and says its a triumph and then reboots and starts the phone with rom does not go to boot loader.

Unrevoked sucks.
Run the RUU.
Then run an earlier RUU and downgrade.
Then run simple root (somewhere on this forum)
that will put you back to .76 bootloader w.nand unlocked
You must be trying to load CM. CM won't run on anything except the .76 bootloader.

This phrase seems to be one of those everyone knows...well except me. What the heck are the EXACT steps to running an RUU?
I am in fastboot with usb showing...then I attempt to double click on the file on my desktop and get an error about it not being a win32 file. Seriously have searched google for hours and the search here is down.
Anyone got the steps to do this?
[A] What exactly is meant by 'run the RUU'?
RUU = Rom Update Utility
http://www.htc.com/uploadedFiles/Common/Software_Download/Detailed_RUU_Instructions_09232009.pdf
Well if this is all you don't know, you are way ahead of me, sheez.
Now root, get nand unlock, install new custom recovery, new PRI, new radio and Burnt 1.2 and you will be good to go, laughing...
An RUU is a Rom Update Utility. It is a program that you run on your desktop that flashes a new ROM image on your phone. So the phrase "run an RUU" literally means to run an RUU. They are version specific. Meaning it is not a program that can flash any ROM for you. There is a different RUU for every OS version.
What file are you clicking on on your desktop that's giving you an error?
[A] What exactly is meant by 'run the RUU'?
I am not quite sure what you are trying to do, but I do have a suggestion. Take a look at regaw_leinad thread on [GUIDE] How to root Android 2.2 on the EVO 4G. He put this out way before unRevoked 3.21. BTW: This was the method I used to root my 2.2 EVO, worked like a charm. Anyway, it's not about the process he used to root an EVO, it's more about all the steps and what does what that you learn going through the process. May help you achieve whatever it is you are trying to do.
Good Luck

I am already rooted and running a rooted version of 1.47. I have a file called...RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459.exe.
This was in an attempt to try to get a 'more' stock version of 1.47 on my phone so that then I could accept the OTA.
I have all of the sdk loaded and yes I have that fastboot in same folder as the adb...(if that means anything.)
When the first 2.2 rolled out many many people with rooted phones accepted the OTA and lost root. So I know it is possible to load the OTA when you have a rooted phone but for some reason I am getting an error. (In another thread, but it is an apply patch error?)
So again....does running a RUU mean...1)You boot to recovery, 2) You go to fastboot, 3) You plug in USB, 4) After you see Fastboot USB (and phone shows up in device manager) you double click the RUU
Is that the process?
Since I didn't see it mentioned. But when you run the RUU, you lose root. If you want to run a "closer to stock" ROM then download SteelH's ROM, and flash that through Recovery.
No, running a RUU is running a PROGRAM that does the update for you. Run the RUU right now without connecting your phone, it will tell you the steps.
Don't even worry about accepting the OTA. Flash this PC36IMG file and it will bring you completely current.
Hmmm...ok. Metalhead, I'll re-read your post when I get home and probably go in that direction.
Debugguy, that document was pretty good at showing me what I should be seeing, but now I am wondering if the file I got was a windows file or not...because it doesn't do that at all.
Thanks ya'll.

select (2) unrevoked Forever, then more
I have an HTC Incredible that i ran the first unrevoked2 update to get root on my device, then unrevoked3 to get s-off. I then was pushed the 2.2 OTA update, which when done through the phone fail. So, like an idiot of course, I ran the update.zip from clockworkmod and now my device is acting all strange (practically bricked).
After the update, the 'droid' eye loads, then goes to a white HTC page where a small dialogue box goes from 0 to 95% then reboots, repeatedly, until I interrupt this via a battery pull. I then get into my phone, but the camera, sdcard, wifi, etc are not recognized. Eventually I get a force close prompt for 'system' which I can wait or force close, either choice, my device will reboot at max 5 minutes.
I have the following showing at HBOOT
Incredible XC Ship S-ON (i ran the s-on update now)
HBOOT-0.77.0000
...
RADIO-2.15.00.07.28
I'd like to get my phone either running Froyo, or back to the stock ROM, and am in need of help. I've ran several PB31IMG.zip files located through numerous guides and dozens of searches to try and get back to stock, but I either get 'update failed' because of some kind of version check, or the update doesn't work (maybe now because I'm s-on?).
I'm in sad need of help, I found another thread where someone else was in my similar situation on another forum but its old, no one is responding, and the update worked for them and not myself. I'd really appreciate it if someone would walk me through un-screwing my device if possible. Much appreciated.
alright well if i was you i would do this.
turn security back off (s-off)
grab the PB31IMG.zip for 2.2 froyo/ or if you want the ota again grab the 2.1
then it should work fine. but i also see the your hboot is not up to date for froyo so maybe find the PB31IMG.zip for 0.92 hboot. i dont have any idea about where it is located but i have the file for 2.2. but alas, i dont have a place to upload it soo yeeaaah. anyway that is what my first choice would be. choose to follow or not.
p.s. i know i say but alot haha
BTW yes, PB31IMG's wont work because you are s-on. and the ota probably did not work because you had clockworkmod recovery instead of stock recovery. thats all i got for ya. hope my terrible explanations help
Well, this might be more promising.
I did notice that my HBOOT was quite out of date, so amongst all of the files I've downloaded, I'm pretty sure the one that might have done it for me was the RUU update file. I of course re-ran the s-off update from unrevoked-forever, then started hacking away at the RUU update. I downloaded the RUU update from Google, ran it, copied the rom.zip file from the temporary files location, renamed it to PB31IMG.zip, copied it to the root, and then poof, noticed the HBOOT was updated (looks like this could have been the root problem).
Needless to say, i'm back to setting up my device (raw), hope that I can still get to root on my device; but at least I'm back to an operating phone!
OK
Looks like I'm at HBOOT-0.92.0000 with IncredibleC XC ship S-OFF still; RADIO-2.15.00.07.28.
Doesn't look like I have a recovery mode (clockworkmod).
I'm guessing if I'm going to root my device I'll need to re-install clockworkmod? Thanks for any future help.
so you still have the reboot thing, going on

No, my device is unbricked (so to speak). Since updating using the full RUU it successfully re-flashed everything. Only problem I have to fix now is rooting my device again.
Well I guess I have my work cut out for me searching how to get my s-off phone rooted again. Anyone got a suggestion?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
if your phone is s-off then search around for a custom recovery in the pb31img format. flash in bootloader, reboot into recovery and flash the rooted rom of your choice.
So my fix was:
1. Ensure phone is already rooted and S-OFF
2. download RUU_Incredible_C_Froyo_VERIZON_WWE_3.21.605.1_Radio_2.15.00.07.28.exe
3. Run the RUU file
4. Go to my temporary files location, sort by date, and look for the rom.zip file
5. copy that file off someplace else and rename it PB31IMG.zip, cancel RUU Update program
6. Copy PB31IMG.zip to the root of the SD Card
7. Boot my device holding volume down (HBOOT)
8. Allow the update to proceed (will reboot phone almost immediately to update HBOOT from 0.77 to 0.92)
9. Once update was completed, phone reboots final time after prompt
10. Setup phone again (RUU Update is a clean flash)
Still looking out for better instructions on how to re-root my device other than a manual one, but if I must then I must =) Was hoping that I could use unrevoked3, but the last push didn't work out.
you have to do it manually cause unrevoked doest work on newest ota
I can help you reroot if you need it. Im glad you have everythig else worked out though. Congratulations!

So that PB31IMG.zip (renamed) will re-install the most recent clockworkmod recovery? I saw some other post which also had a 'payload-update.zip' and a 'su-2.3.2.1-ef-signed.zip' file ... not sure if I'm missing something.
Also, according to their latest release (their = unrevoked), http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked3 - This supposedly works with all versions of supported phones. Of course, when I go to http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked2 it says that unrevoked3 doesn't work with stock Android 2.2 phones... which I'm guessing might be my condition since I had to flash the rom.zip file from RUU_Incredible_C_Froyo_VERIZON_WWE_3.21.605.1_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_2k4k_NV_1.50_PRL58006_release_143351_signed.exe that I got from google.
Some clarification would be appreciated.
Looks like I'm back to root. Ran the PB31IMG.zip that was about 2.86mb, then payload-update.zip and the Su zip (anyone know where the most recent one is? Says there is an update).
Now to test WiFi tether again, see if I still need that evo driver still.

Either That or Turn S-Off, Or Install Su, Clockwork Recovery...... Something? If Someone Can Help Please Do!! Or If Someone Can Try to Sign a Update.zip For Me With S-Off in it!! (Unrevoked.4Ever) I'd Loveto Find a Easier way that can be Done WITHOUT CONNECTING TO A (USB) PORT PC!!
Technically no. Because rooting your device is getting rid of the stock recovery so you can install rims and whatnot. But you can root through hboot easily with s-off or with s-on use unrevoked.

So I'm wondering if the payload-update.zip was damaging in some way.
In any event, now I'm constantly being nagged about another 17.7mb update from Verizon which of course, like the Android 2.2 update, won't apply via the usual system update message.
I don't know where I can find this file, but it says this:
---
Android Update
Downloaded and verified 17.7 MB
This software update includes the installation of V CAST Apps, Slacker, and many other improvements for your DRIOD Incredible by HTC. ... blah blah blah ...

I don't know if this is the infamous 'November' update or not. I know that I updated my rom from the RUU file downloaded from dl.google.com, so its possible that I don't have this patching. Some clarification on what this download is, where I can find it (online or my phone), and if it is possible to apply this update and how (so I don't keep getting annoyed with it).
I tried to update my Hboot the other day to .92 i believe from .78. Thinking it was as simple as flashing it through bootloader and thats it. I was stuck at the white htc screen for hours so I figured I was screwed. I wiped everything with no luck and then I flashed something so now my HBoot is 0.77.0000 and my Radio is 1.00.03.04.06. I was previously running CM7 nightlies. After flashing whatever zip I did I was trying to reverse what I did by "downgrading" and what I did was delete everything. I cant boot and I also dont have recovery anymore. I can only use Bootloader. PLease any help I can get is appreciated. If u can tell me how to fix this ill make a 10 dollar donation to your paypal. My e-mail is [email protected] if u want me e-mail any information. Thanks a ton
Try the following link.
You may need to get an usb sd card reader. That way you can put the needed files using your pc.
I am sure someone more knowledgeable will come along to help you.
I read somewhere that if you can get to the bootloader, it might have not neen bricked yet.

Rename it to PB31IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card, Boot into the bootloader (hold vol- and pwr) and let it run the update. After it is done you will be back to a stock 2.2.
I forgot to mention in my initial post that I also updated my radio to the newest 2.15 but still had recovery after I did that and after that is when I tried to downgrade everything and lost my recovery. Didnt know if that makes a difference or not. Thanks for the quick replies

No i do not have recovery only hboot. I am using my lady's Droid X with my SD card to put any files on the card that I need to.

this is not in the right section but if you can still get into recovery restore a working nandroid back up. after that go to backup and restore>advanced restore and restore your boot image. im pretty sure upgrading you hboot erases your boot image.
EDIT: I saw that someone posted a PB31IMG up earlier. I'd try that one first,
This is for the RUU exe.
An RUU is a program which links to any phone that can get into bootloader, and installs a completely unrooted stock image to your phone. It can be done either by using the linked program (an exe) or getting an ruu version that is a zip and running it on bootloader with a specific filename "PB31IMG.zip"
This tutorial is for the EXE version linked below.
WARNING: I have no idea what happens if this is used on an SLCD incredible.
Therefore, you need to know what kind of screen you have, and I'm no expert on that.
DONT use this RUU if you find out you have an SLCD screen.
I am not sure whether android sdk tools or htc usb drivers are nessesary for the ruu, so if anyone can comment on the necessity of these, i would appreciate it.
Heres what you need:
1. A PC
2. The RUU exe file
3. a cable to connect the PC to your phone
4. The knowledge of whether your phone is an SLCD or not.
Instructions:
1. Hook up your phone to the computer
2. Put the phone into hboot
3. Run the ruu
4. If it messes up at the usb detection thing, keep the phone plugged in, exit the ruu program, and then run it again. It should work then.
At the end of this process you should have a fully functional unrooted froyo incredible.
You dont need to give anyone $10. We all want your phone to work.

You will lose root (easy to get back) but will still be S-off.
You can either use the PB31IMG or the .exe method. Just grab the files off doug piston's website. We've had a lot of problems with SLCD owners grabbing the RUU off youtube and other sites then having a screen that no longer works.
I tried the PB31IMG zip method but in hboot after searching through the file it says no image. I am going to try the RUU now. Do i need to have the android sdk stuff on this computer for the RUU to run correctly? I am using a different laptop, one which does not have the driver files installed that I needed to initially root my INC.?

Unfortunately Marty, its not easy to tell which is amoled and SLCD without having the phone on to verify that its hardware revision is 002 or 003.
002=amoled

Well, if you run it without them, and it doesnt work, it wont make anything worse. It just wont work, and then youll know. It probably has nothing to do with the SDK and more to do with HBOOT USB drivers. I would say go for it without any of that.
The most important thing you can know is that your incredible is not bricked. Its totally fixable.
I screwed mine up in precisely the same fashion early on, and used the EXE with good success.
Im positive. I got the phone in august of 10 through verizon. I dont have the box anymore. I have looked into it before and think "think" I have the amoled screen.

SLCD didnt start to ship until september.
The RUU is loading now. Its at 76% on Updating system. So, if this does work where does my phone stand? Do I need to re-root get s-off and things of that nature?
You will still have s-off. Your phone will be on a .92 hboot with the 2.15 radio. You will need to either rerun the root tool to get recovery back or use a recovery that is flashable through hboot. If using the PB31IMG didn't work for you before I suggest rerunning the tool.
Once recovery is installed do not attempt to restore from within recovery, instead download another rom and flash it through recovery.
Just wanted to drop back in and say thanks to everyone who helped me get my INC back. I really appreciate it and I can throw the BB Storm back in the closet!
Hi all,
I rooted my evo 4G forever ago, but a friend of mine recently tried to root her phone and simply has the big exclamation mark on it now. I'm not sure what she did, but she's bringing it over tonight. I was wondering, does anyone have any idea what is needed to get that sucker back up and running?
Will it respond to the latest 1 click roots? unrevoked? simple root? what's the game plan?
If you get the exclamation mark when trying to get into recovery, that means you're rooted with no recovery. When she gets to the bootloader, is she s-off?
If s-off, then rooted, and then flash the file I attached in the bootloader. Place on sdcard, boot into the bootloader, apply update, reboot, reboot into recovery, then you'll be on amon_ra 2.4 recovery.
And for latest 1 click, unrevoked. Download the hboot drivers, install then uninstall htc sync, enable usb debugging on phone, from applications > development.
http://unrevoked.com/#evo
IF you can only get into the bootloader, phone not booting, ect, run the 3.70 RUU. Rename the file to PC36IMG, then place on the root of the sdcard, flash in the bootloader like previously. The RUU will return you to stock, unrooted; then you can root using unrevoked.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip
Thanks. She's dropping the phone off tonight. Now I've got the plan of what to do! I'll execute accordingly, and update if there's any odd snags, but I assume there will be none.
Thanks again.

I have the last two Current RUU's and PC36IMG files stock 2.2 no root, no nothing, just as sprint would like us to have it. I have runned unrevoked forever and have run the S-on Tool before flashing but I always keep getting Bootloader Main Version is older and it fails. I can flash any and all roms but I just can't seem to unroot this damn thing. I have tested the new Radio's and the Rooted 2.3.3 release for our phone. Wasn't much to write home about. I flash S-off and I can Flash anything but once i flash S-on I cant get the ruu's or the pc36img to work.. Always with this Main Version is older. Myabe I have to use a certian combo of radio's or something I'm still running the Gingerbread radios.
Little about my phone
Hardware:0004
Baseband: 2.15.00.11.19
Android:3.70.651.1
PRI: 2.15_003

Hboot. 2.10.0001(S-OFF as of right now)
If someone could please PM me of what I may be missing. Thanks everyone Untill then I will continue searching and reading.
1. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever ; Scroll down to the FAQs, then download the unrevoked s-on zip. This places the security back on your phone, because rooting makes it s-off, and if s-on, quickest way to tell your phone was rooted.
2. Flash that file from recovery, then boot back into the bootloader [vol+down while turning phone on] and verify until its s-on.
3. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip ; rename that file to PC36IMG, place on the root of your sdcard [not in a folder] then flash it in the bootloader. When the scan that normally does nothing, it'll detect that file. Apply the update then reboot. That's a stock 3.70 firmware file, it'll take you back to stock, unrooted, s-on.
You shouldn't get the 'main version is older' message, it meant you were using the wrong ruu.
Like mentioned above, you are simply trying to flash a rom that is older than your current HBoot requires basically. PC36IMG for Stock HBOOT 2.10.0001 EVO
Best of luck!
This will set everything back to the way it was before you did anything to the phone. However unlikely, be sure to remove any further traces of your "root" by deleting stuff like Titanium backup, clockwork mod .. and any other Apps that required root to use (like wireless tether)
Thats where backups come in handy, because you can backup your current EVERYTHING (Rom with Clockwork - Apps with Titanium), transfer the folders to your PC, and when you get your phone back.. drag and drop, re-root and recover and you are back to the way you like it.. like nothing changed.
