Removing unrevoked from my evo

Ok so all I want to do is remove my unrevoked rooting from my phone. I did the one click, not the forever. Can anyone help me remove it? I have all stock roms. Just did unrevoked to add the wireless teetering. THANK YOU

its real easy flash the unrevoked s-on tool untill the bootloader says s-on it may take more than one time it may not after that flash the ruu with the build that came with your phone

So I download the file to my card then what? I'm lost here sorry

Unrevoked 3.21/3.22 automatically runs Unrevoked Forever after the rooting is done (this is the very last step of the process before your phone boots up). That's why you end up getting NAND unlocked (S-OFF).
So you are looking to go back to stock and do not want to run Wireless Tethering anymore yes?
Download the S-ON tool and place it on the root of your SDcard (not in any folders). Go into recovery and flash the S-ON file and it hopefully should make your phone S-ON again.

Thank you. I'll try that! I'll let you know.

So it flashed the s-on and no luck. Done it twice ashtray and no luck. Should I keep trying?

From the unrevoked forever wiki page, it says to download the s-on.zip and flash it. If its not working, try re-downloading another unrevoked-forever-son.zip file and try again, otherwise I'm not sure what else to tell you, sorry.
[GUIDE] How to Unroot the EVO in 2 STEPS
This unroot guide written by djR3Z says to keep trying until it works.

Do you have radio version 2.15.00.11.19? I know you cannot S-OFF while on this radio version, so maybe you cannot S-ON either.
You will need to downgrade the radio first to 2.15.00.09.01. My real suggestion is to flash the mtd-eng.img hack, RUU back to 3.30, S-ON, RUU to 3.70.

I just finished! Had to flash a recovered rom. Stock rom that is. It was quite the process but I did it! Thanks for the help everyone!

[Q] Turning S-On with Halfway Rooted EVO

So I tried to run Unrevoked 3 with my friend's Hardware 0004 EVO. It recognized the phone and started rooting, but it didn't work. Unfortunately, now it only has S-Off and no superuser or custom recovery and he would like to go back to s-on.
Can I just flash the Unrevoked_forever_s-on.zip? And how should I do it since there's no custom recovery?

Unrevoked works on hardware 0004, and the 3.70 software. Sometimes it doesn't run correctly or completely the first time. Run it again, and be sure that there are no programs on your computer that are trying to communicate with your phone whein its plugged in to USB (pdanet, dropbox, music syncing etc). I would run Unrevoked again until it works. If not, download a PC36IMG or RUU and flash back to stock. You can't flash the s-on tool without recovery, so you'd need to RUU back to stock, or flash PC36IMG using the bootloader, get to stock, then re root. But yea, I know for sure that Unrevoked now works on all versions, they updated a while back. I've used it a few times, no issues. Good luck.
All PC36IMG's and RUU's can be found here:

[Q] NewB needs Help installing Rom =(

Ok.. so I'm absolutely new to this rooting and flashing roms and stuff. I want to install the SkyRaider 4.0 ROM. I believe the first step I need to do before I can install this ROM is to root my phone? Do I do this through Unrevoked or through ADB??? Like in this link? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709220 . I checked the WIKI for DInc and it doesn't mention anything about ADB.. So do I need to do that??
So lost. Thanks so much for your help guys

Use the unrevoked program, its so simple, literally one click. Once you have root you'll want to make a backup in recovery before you flash skyraider.

Thanks. So what's up with ADB? Will I need it at all? Do I need to follow the guide as in the link I posted above?

First root using the unrevoked program as mentioned above. Then post back for more help on the ROM flashing.

I wouldn't worry about adb right now. Don't need to use it for rom, kernel, radio flashing.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Honestly, I've never even had to use ADB. Definitely not required. It's nice to have sometimes. But usually something like root explorer will suffice.
*should have refreshed first.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Gotcha. So what's the diff between Unrevoked 3 and unrevoked forever? http://unrevoked.com/#inc

Unrevoked forever gives you permanent root. That is definitely the way to go, and the best way to get your ROM successfully flashed. ( And stay that way ).

Also let's you flash unsigned files in hboot, like radios and splash screens.

Just thought I'd add that you can also go back to stock S-ON later on if needed (warranty replacement, etc).

And in case he doesn't know what S-ON and S-OFF means, it refers to the state of the security "flag" on your device. With S-OFF, your warranty is void, however you can turn the security back on as well if you need to take it into verizon or something.. Using unrevoked forever, it will turn S-ON to S-OFF.

Can SkyRaider work with S-ON? aka without dealing with Unrevoked Forever at the moment?

No, I don't believe it will. Is there a reason not to do unrevoked forever? It take less than 5 minutes to complete

You should be able to. S-OFF is the way to go through, you can still revert S-ON later.
The whole "security" title it has is meaningless against actually security of your phone, with S-OFF you're more free to tweak your phone.

Unrevoked for the Inc comes with Forever already, hence S-off

S-OFF is not required to flash ROMs. Its required for radio flashing and splash screen changing though.

I see, but I hadn't done unrevoked forever (yet I still had root) and flashed over my first ROM... didn't have much luck. It ended up reverting to stock everything automatically, which was really strange. Haven't had any problems since S-OFF though.

Well, I did both unrevoked3 and forever in the end. Got it up and running with skyraider now =) thanks for all your help guys!

Huh, thats odd. I was rooted and S-ON when I first did my starter ROM: SkyRaider 2.something lol. Didn't encounter any problems except for wonky audio with flash, but that was an easy fix. That was back when stock Incs were rockin' Eclair lol... Sorry bout my off topic reminiscing :S
I'm glad you got everything running good OP! Enjoy the wonderful world of the rooted Incredible!

Yeah, S-OFF isn't required for ROM's. I flashed many ROM's before S-OFF was even out for the incredible. Back in the 2.1 days

[Q] Help!!!! phone is on v2.3.3 with S-OFF NEED to turn S-ON

I tried to root my husbands htc evo phone but it was interrupted and was not able to try again. He was able to update the software when sprint sent it out but somehow when I went into his bootloader it has S-OFF. I need to return the phone to sprint. Is there any way I can turn S-ON again?

How were u trying to root? Which process?
Taking my experience into account:
Ive been rooted with unrEVOked...and unrooted using the Stock RUU zip. BUT....prior to that...S-on needs to be recovered. The process in which Ive used was following the enclosed link.
Hope it helps...good luck.

If it is S-OFF, just run a stock RUU EXE file... 3.70 seems to work just fine. it will return the device to complete stock, including the bootloader for 3.70 release/ship.

The only way to get s-off to s-on is to flash the unrevoked s-on tool. You can run the RUU all you want and return the partitions to stock, s will still remain off. Well it should anyhow, strange things happen sometimes...
That link in the second post gives you both. Flash s-on then flash the RUU, dont go the other way around...

Is the phone stock currently? If so just flash the s-on tool, it should work (though I havent heard anyone attempting this yet). If you need to return partitions to stock or an older version of android then run the RUU.

also PM a Mod and ask them to move this to Q please, only post developed work in the DEVELOPMENT section...

Did the update change the Hboot version from 2.10 to 2.16?
Power off the phone, hold Vol Down and Power and wait for Bootloader to run to see which version is on the device.

This is wrong. I was S-OFF since June of 2010 when I bought it and rooted, I just recently had to return my device and get it swapped. I simply ran the RUU Exe, I then made sure to check because I didn't want to return it with S-OFF, and it was S-ON. I didn't run any S-ON Tool or anything else other than the RUU Exe.

The reason yours switched to s-on is because the root method you used included the ENG bootloader. If the root method included unrevoked forever then the only way to achieve s-on is with the s-on tool. So no, he wasn't wrong he could have been more thorough in his explination that's all.

[Q] UNROOTING_Evo 4g for service

ok guys I have tried just about all threads and searches,I been at this since 9 am and still no results.I need to take my phone in so I need the S-on,I was on Synergy Rom tried to use unrevoked forever which didnt work I was on amon ra recovery but switched to clockwork where I had backups and tried unrevoked forever and still no S-on, My software info is as follows : baseband:2.15.00.05.02
software #3.29.651.5 and pri version is 2.15_003 : My hboot is 0.97.0000, I unrooted actuallly a couple of times and never had this problem followed the directions before and they worked to perfection.I believe the problems exist with my radio # as this is the error that my recovery is giving me : stating unsupported radio version .Any help please thank you

Downgrade your radio to an unrevoked compatible version. Then flash unrevoked forever. Should be that simple.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Try downgrading your radio first to the version that came with 3.29 so it matches the software. Don't worry about the S-ON. Leave it off that way when u take it in even if anyone applies some sort of update you will still be good. Also, did you use unrevoked originally to obtain s-off?

Do Flash only the radio ? Meaning I found the correct radio do I have to worry about my wimax keys or does in come with the radio I'll be flashing ?

1) You're trying to get it s-on, but you're flashing unrevoked forever. Unrevoked forever gives you s-off, you'd need the s-on tool instead.
2) Sprint will service your phone if it is s-off, so leave it off to keep the possibility of rooting open. If the store tells you otherwise, tell them to double check Sprint's policy.
3) You will however need to flash it back to stock unrooted. Run an RUU from your computer or as a PC36IMG through your bootloader to achieve this.
Bonus - Even if your phone has to be replaced, hopefully Sprint/HTC/whoever won't flash it back to s-on and someone on xda will get lucky and get your s-off refurb. Either way I wouldn't bother with the s-on tool, just run the RUU and you'll be set.

Just flash the stand alone radio. Not a combo with the wimax pri and NV. Then unrevoked forever will work.

He is saying to leave S-Off, just RUU so it will be stock unrooted. Leaving it S-Off so that if some poor chap receives the phone refurbished, he won't have to worry if it is Gingerbread unrootable, as it is S-Off.
