i want unroot does anyone have the latest PC36IMG.zip or know where i can get it.. or does just running the sprint ruu exe program unroot me?? also anyone know where i can find that..
The RUU will unroot it and set it back to factory. The RUU.exe is in fact just a GUI wrapper for the rom.zip/PC36IMG.zip, and any stock PC36IMG.zip file you find is just extracted from an RUU.
Find them at Shipped-Roms.

Rooted successfully yesterday, installed Caulkulins latest ROM and have been having constant reboots...so I figured I would reload my nandroid backup...but it won't happen.
I am loading the stock, rooted rom from Goo-Inside me using Rom Manager.
Now...is there a way to actually un-root?
Updated Title for clarification of the question.
Idk about getting s-on but I know there's an ruu with the newest update in the dev section

I would like to know as well. I'm having issues with my phone and need to take it in for a repair.
Someone please answer, this is I know the 3rd thread asking this question. Thanks.

Just FYI. I tried to use the unrevoked method of unrooting knowing it wouldnt work but gave it a whril anyway and no go. Cant downgrade hboot and cant set s-on. I need a solution to the Revolutianary root method for S-On
Is it at least possible to get stock everything else at least?

Yes. You can find the stock unrooted ROM (it should be around here somewhere) and flash that. You will then be unrooted but still have S-OFF (NAND Unlocked). You can not get that last bit (S-ON) back for now.
You can find the stock ROM here. If you flash that I think you will be stock except for the S-OFF bootloader.

People cant answer a question that they have no answer too...Dont assume it can be done and others are hiding it from you. Quite sure the moment someone figures it out it will be posted....Until then you are going to have to either use the stock ruu or flash one of those stock looking roms without SU
I would think that you could go back to s-on but it seems the method to get there is a bit risky. If you were to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883548
it may be possible to get back hboot 2.16 and then ruu.
Edit: Flash hex edited hboot and then run ruu to obtain s-on.

it may be possible to get to a hboot version that the unrevoked s-on tool would work on. Maybe someone that really wants to go back that badly will try it and report the results.

Thank you for this post!
I was able to hex edit the 2.16 HBOOT to 6.17, which allowed it to overwrite the Revolutionary HBOOT, and immediately set me to S-ON. Then, I flashed the stock GB 4.24 PC36IMG.zip, which successfully overwrote the hex-edited 2.16 HBOOT with the one from the PC36IMG, and my phone is back to stock! AWESOME .

UPDATED ON 7-MAR-2012
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU (SOMEHOW) BRICK YOUR DEVICE. FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
Files Needed:
6.17 HBOOT - Hex-edited version of 2.16 HBOOT modified to overwrite Revolutionary version
[*]Official Stock ROM (RUU or PC36IMG.zip signed by HTC) - see bottom of post for list of several different stock ROM versions
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The file attached to this post can either be extracted, and the HBOOT.img flashed via Android Flasher, or it can be saved to the root of the /sdcard and flashed via Bootloader (file must be renamed to PC36IMG.zip to flash successfully).[*]If you are using File Explorer and do not see any file extensions, but Windows tells you that the file is a "ZIP file," do NOT add a .zip to the file name! That will result in this happening.
Steps to Un-Root Revolutionary (should work for all S-OFF EVO hardware versions):
Download HBOOT 6.17 and flash using Android Flasher or in Bootloader. Once flashing is complete, Reboot Bootloader and note NAND status. NOTE: At this point, your HBOOT version should be 6.17. If it isn't, then the modified HBOOT file did not flash successfully, and you will need to flash it again.
[*]If you're now "S-ON", move down to "After you're S-ON" section. If not (i.e. you are still "S-OFF"), continue on to next step.
[*]Download the Radio 2.15.00.11.19 from Calkulin's thread and install via recovery (if you'd prefer to install via Bootloader, use this version) - thanks to Calkulin
[*]Download unrevoked S-ON zip - thanks to unrevoked
[*]Boot into recovery and flash unrevoked S-ON zip.
[*]Boot into Bootloader and note NAND status - you should now be S-ON! Proceed to "After you're S-ON section".
After you're S-ON:
Flash an unrooted stock ROM to return your device to factory conditions. Here is a link to Football's thread, with several different RUU versions. Below are direct links to the latest official Froyo & Gingerbread PC36IMG.zip files that can be rooted with unrevoked and Revolutionary, respectively. Also included is the latest Gingerbread OTA release that is rootable via the HTCDev.com website.
PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed | Mirror - ONLY rootable with unrevoked
PC36IMG_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.54.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed | Mirror - ONLY rootable with Revolutionary
PC36IMG_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.67.651.3_Radio_2.15.00.12.19_NV_2.33_release_234563_signed | Mirror - ONLY rootable with HTCDev.com
After flashing one of the above stock ROMs, you should be restored to stock conditions, including HBOOT, Radio, & NAND-locked status, and ready to return your device for servicing!
Thanks to {ParanoiA} for posting the link to the thread where the hex-editing was mentioned, and thanks to thefredelement (from that thread) for posting a working method!
Any questions, please post here.
Captain_Throwback said:
Here I will post my 2.16 hex-edited HBOOT to appear as 6.17. I'm not really a good person to put together a guide, but I can give you this file, which should at least help.
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU (SOMEHOW) BRICK YOUR DEVICE. FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
Also note that I have 0003 hardware, so there are no guarantees that this will work for you! That being out of the way, let me continue . . .
I used AndroidFlasher to flash this HBoot, as it was extremely easy (just renamed to HBOOT.img). Flashing through Fastboot (directly on the device) might also work, I guess, if you rename the file to PC36IMG, but I didn't try it that way.
I was able to do this successfully on Windows XP 32-bit (I always have issues getting anything to work on my Windows 7 machine), so I'm not sure how (or if) it'll work on Vista or 7 (or on 64-bit versions).
Note that if you're doing this with your device connected to your computer, USB Debugging MUST BE TURNED ON!!
If you want to return to stock, I first recommend flashing a stock ROM. I recommend the most recent Gingerbread update, which can be found in this post (RUU can be found here).
After successfully un-rooting your device by flashing the unrooted ROM from above, now we must re-lock NAND (set S-ON). Basically, you just flash the hboot.img from the attached zip file, and it will set your device HBOOT version to 6.17, and re-lock your NAND (S-ON). Then, you can re-flash the ROM from the above step, and it *should* overwrite the hex-edited HBOOT with the "official" version, and restore your device to stock.
Again, this worked for me, but if it doesn't work for you, don't go blaming me, and calling my method a sham.
Thanks to {ParanoiA} for posting the link to the thread where the hex-editing was mentioned, and thanks to thefredelement (from that thread) for posting a working method!
Maybe someone else can test my method and confirm it works for them & others, and then put a real guide together, for everyone else (like me) that needs to return their device for service after rooting with Revolutionary.

thanks that worked on my evo hardware 4 i finally got it back to stock !!!!!!!! and i rename the HBOOT file to pc36img and worked too
SWEET UNROOT Revolutionary!
Okay since im new to this stuff and for the noobies like me out there
1. DL his zip file!
2. Rename the Zip file to PC36IMG
3. Connect your phone to your cpu and transfer your PC36IMG zip to your sd card
4. Reboot your phone. (remove battery) then hold Power + Down Volume
5. Phone will boot then just wait till your phone ask if you want to update file! Hit Up to say yes
6. Then THATS IT! YOU CAN REBOOT AND CHECK TO MAKE SURE S-ON IS ON!

This is exactly what I did and it worked flawlessly (btw I'm on 004 and was very scared it would not work but it did
I tried sending my Incredible to Amazon, but they sent it back saying they couldn't get the data to reset.
How do I get my Incredible all the way back to stock? It currently has s-off. I want it unrooted, s-on, just like it's new.
Thanks!
You'll need to flash a stock ROM (known as an RUU). You'll have to Google around to find it (you might be able to find some on here even). You'll then need to rename it to something like PG05IMG.zip (the download page for the RUU file should specify which filename to use).
You'll put the RUU .zip file in the root of your SD card and then you'll boot into HBOOT where it should automatically flash it.
I've never done it before, so there might be someone else who can help you even more. This will just get you started.
Does this seem like what I should do?

Yes, that is the proper step. If that link does not work for whatever reason. Download the RUU from this website:
pvillecomp.com
I am not sure about how to go s-on. I do not want to provide false information about that. I am sure someone can explain that step.
Before using the steps found on the link above, you will need to flash the s-on patch found on the unrevoked forever site. If you ruu before going s-on, you would have to flash clockwork recovery again, apply the s-on patch, and then run the ruu again. Also after you finish the ruu i would do a factory reset and wipe the emmc and sdcard.
Thank you, I appreciate the information cmlusco

As my first post here, I wanted to make it something helpful. Anyway, you will need to find the stock recovery and use fastboot to put it on. Sorry, don't know where you would look to find one, maybe someone has one here?

well as i understand you need to revert to device's stock condition
as far as i know only way to do it is by RUU or individually flashing every image. RUU is easily done but as you mentioned you get error messages try finding out what those error messages mean
common messages are
cant connect to device----ensure you are in fastboot usb mode
version problems----check weather you are using the right RUU (RUU is different for diferent regions) one RUU can have more than one versions so be sure which one you need
and you also need to lock you bootloader before running RUU
let me know if anything works
take a complete backup and make a goldcard just in case..you never know what may happen

Actually, this 's-on' and 's-off' is very much important. You can flash any stock rom with s-off but not that easily with s-on. I'm a noob so I can't really explain further. Search for it!

i got same problem some days ago.cant port ruu and remove cwm.
so first of all you find your ruu from football's marvel collection or search on internet.if its in .zip file its very good extract it,you ll find recovery.img,boot.img and system.img
or if its in .exe file.first try installation wizard if its fail.again start installation wizard and then keep it on dont update bootloader just go to temp folder.(C:\Users\[LoginName]\AppData\Local\Temp\{82B23FCD-D5D0-45CA-A3A2-5350D3926551}) in this you will have see rom.zip file extract it.you ll find
recovery.img,boot.img and system.img then,
remove battery (power +volume down) to going in hboot then click on fastboot then plug your phone usb with computer open cmd and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
you can see fastboot file in your extracted zip.by this way you manually port stock rom.i tried it and it successfully possible.but i use my original stock rom,ages when i used europe rom it failed.
and please be careful in type commands it ll brick your phone if you doing anything wrong..maybe it ll help you
and yes one thing read this thread carefully i recommand third method which i mentioned here.

I'm so thankful that cmlusco had these simple words listed here. I was trying without success to flash a recovery via hboot.92 to no avail. I am s-off and rooted running tinys cm10.1. The problem started when i wanted to use twrp as a recovery. I tried installing that in android itself with goomanager. It said it was successful so tried to reboot into recovery. no dice. it now doesn't even have cwm recovery which was what i was trying to replace. it just goes back into hboot. so i thought, "ok, i'll just adb it" again either with shell in android or via fastboot in hboot it says remote failed. this one line he just wrote tells me that despite everything i have, i cannot install via hboot. The only thing that works is having a pb31img file to install it. the problem is, most recoveries come in .img. so I thought i could just repackage it as a zip and use the txt from another twrp i had previously gotten to work by way of a pb31img and create my own new pb31img with the newest version (the old one i had was already made by someone else and installs flawlessly). basically now i'm curious if i should just ask how to make the newest twrp into a proper pb31img file to flash (since i know this works) or is there an easy way to upgrade hboot.092 to 1.07? Any help on either of these or both subjects would be greatly appreciated. Just for the record cmlusco, am i right in thinking the reason i can't fastboot flash my recovery is because my loader is locked somehow despite being rooted and s-off? will upgrading to hboot 1.07 enable all of what i want to do? Also, what's the best way to go about doing this? I have everything i need backed up so no worries there. Thanks in advance to any and all help!

Correct you can not fastboot flash unless your bootloader is unlocked. Since your s-off you can update the bootloader by flashing this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.07/PB31IMG.zip, thru hboot. Once updated, you can unlock it and then flash img files with fastboot.
However, here is the TWRP 2.4.1.0 PB31IMG.zip http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.4.1.0/PB31IMG.zip, if you dont want to update the bootloader. You may need to flash it two or three times to get it to take.

PB31IMG.zip - 3.61 MB
It's also in the TWRP thread on one of the last few pages, TWRP 2.4.1.0.

Correct you can not fastboot flash unless your bootloader is unlocked. Since your s-off you can update the bootloader by flashing this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.07/PB31IMG.zip, thru hboot. Once updated, you can unlock it and then flash img files with fastboot.
However, here is the TWRP 2.4.1.0 PB31IMG.zip http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.4.1.0/PB31IMG.zip, if you dont want to update the bootloader. You may need to flash it two or three times to get it to take.

Thanks to you and tiny for such a quick and simple response. pb31img used and updated perfectly! Just curious, cmlusco, in your signature i noticed you on hboot 1.07 but it's locked. Any particular reason for having it locked? I have yet to update mine but i did download and organize the pb31 hboot img you gave me for possible future use ( if i feel the need). Other than the aformentioned advantage of flashing hboot via fasboot and adb, is there any other advantage of hboot 1.07? Thanks again guys, you make my life easier.

Not really, S-OFF should get you what you need. You only miss the ability to flash via fastboot without an unlocked HBOOT. PB31IMG.zip works fine with S-OFF.

I have never had the need to unlock it yet, but like having the ability if needed.
