[Q] Unroot without USB Question

Is there a way to unroot your phone without USB? My charging port is no longer working properly and a replacement is being sent to me. The phone will not connect to my computer anymore. Can someone please help me. Thank you.

If you used unrevoked forever, download this:
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever-son.zip
Put it on your SD card (using a card reader)
If not (say you used the original ENG HBOOT root method), skip the above.
Download any of the RUUs that work with your phone (latest would be safest)
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Supersonic
Run the RUU (once it comes up with a screen warning you about possible consequences), search C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Temp\{series of characters}\{another series of characters} (assuming you are in windows vista or 7, otherwise path is c:\documents & settings\<your username>\Application Data\Local\Temp\{series of characters}\{another series of characters})
From there, grab rom.zip, rename to PC36IMG.zip (capitalization matters) and put it on SD card as well (using a card reader)
Exit the RUU utility (click "Cancel")
Reboot into recovery, flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip first (if you used unrevoked forever for root)
Reboot into bootloader (Vol Down + Power from phone off state), flash PC36IMG.zip when prompted
You are done

I used the OTA Simple Root method..

If I flashed an older ROM and then did the OTA Sprint update, will it unroot my phone?

Yes. If you flash an old Rom, then install an OTA update via Sprint, that should unroot your phone.

Thanks I guess I will try that. I just didn't want to brick my phone in the process.

If you are flashing something other than official sprint rom, as of around 3.29+ most have forced disabled updates through HTC menu so that newbies don't accidentally take it and kill their root.
Why not just do what I detailed? If you didn't use unrevoked, you just need the PC36IMG.zip and you are set.

The image I downloaded from post #11 didn't work. I tried renaming it PC36IMG.zip and PC36IMG. It says no image or wrong image.

You don't flash a pc36img.zip.
It automatically loads through bootloader. Not recovery.
Just put it in root directory of your sd.
Power up while holding vol down. When asked, say yes to load update. You never go into recovery.

Might've had a bad download. Or that link is bad, I thought that was where I downloaded the file a few weeks ago... but maybe not.
Just look for a 3.70 PC36IMG.zip file.

[Q] Stuck At HBOOT...plz help

I have a rooted phone by unrevoked and have clockwork mod recovery 3.0.6.(Because the latest version wouldn't work with the rom i was trying to flash) and flashed the rom but the it wont boot. im stuck at the white screen and when i try to go to recovery it just crashes with 2 white vertical lines on the sides of the screen. I have no idea how to fix this. someone please help me

That's you having an incompatible CWM on an slcd screen. Update to a different one by flashing it in hboot.

How do I flash a different version on HBOOT? And thanks so much for the help

Directly on the root of the card. Aka, not in any folders. Otherwise hboot won't see it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

how do i get hboot to use the zip file instead of the other cwm recovery because its not working. Also do i have to name the zip anything?

You put it on the root of your SD card and boot into hboot by booting while holding power and volume down. It will automatically find the file and ask you if you want to flash it. It has to be name PB31IMG.zip
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

My phone did not automatically reconize the file in hboot when I named it PB31IMG.zip. So I went to the Verizon store. They're sending me a new phone but i would still like to get this one to work because they let me keep it. I'm probably going to send it to a guy that can rewrite the software. However since Im running low on money I probably wont send it in for a while so if anyone notices anything i didnt or thinks they know the problem, please let me know. Thank you

cvbcbcmv said:
it's probably PB31IMG.zip.zip. Try getting rid of the .zip and see if your extracting program will still recognize it, if yes, it has a hidden .zip, and keep it like that, if no, then you need the zip there. Can you do that for me? That's probably your problem.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, this happened to me early on. You ususally don't see the extension (the .zip) part of the file name, so when you add it you are creating a file named PB31IMG.zip.zip. So like the good person above says, just make it say PB31IMG and it will likely be fixed. If not, THEN make it say PB31IMG.zip
Good luck!

Yes got it. Wow that was frustrating. Thank you so much everyone who helped me

Help with installing hzboot on g2 without pc

So I'm going off these instructions .....
RavenFB said:
So, you've seen those new Sense 3.0 ROMs floating around, but haven't had an opportunity to try them yet? Well, I've developed a simplified method for getting you rolling with Virtuous Unity 1.31. Of course, after you have installed the DZ Hboot, you can install any Sense 3.0 ROM you wish, even though this guide is specifically for Unity.
This guide will show you how to install the DZ Hboot, and the Virtuous Unity ROM, with out using adb or a computer. The entire process is done on the phone.
First, let me thank the Virtuous dev team responsible for this gem of a ROM. Excellent work, and we tip our hats.
Now, this installation requires the following:
A rooted G2 with Clockwork Recovery 3.0.2.4.
Two MicroSD cards.
Optional: WiFi access, Tapatalk and Opera Mobile, installed internally. Opera makes downloading the required files much more reliable, and it can be easier using TT to browse this page.
The first thing you should do is stop by www.VirtuousRom.com, and check things out there. The Unity ROM and the OC frequency patch come from their website, and I firmly believe in giving credit where it is due.
Once you are ready to begin, download Unity 1.31 from this link, preferably via WiFi. This beast is about 400MBs, so be you may not want to deal with cellular speeds. You can also find this ROM on RomManager, if you prefer, under the Virtuous tab.
http://www.multiupload.com/TS4IAWJVMZ
Once that has finished, you should download the OC Frequency patch. You may not need it, but you definitely want to have it already downloaded if it is needed.
http://unity.flemmard.net/patches/virtuous_unity-ocfreq-patch.zip
You will also want to download a good radio to use, since the DZ Hboot will overwrite your current radio. This is the most current compatible radio:
http://www.mediafire.com/?r1tal256p11uzyz
Once you have finished downloading these files, use a file manager (ES File Manager or Astro, etc) to check the SDCard root (/sdcard/) to make sure there is no file named PC10IMG.zip located there. I'll explain why shortly. After you have confirmed this, shut off your phone, remove the battery, remove the SDCard, and insert the second card. Replace the battery, and reboot.
After the phone is running again, you need to download this file: http://db.tt/uCHeUDp If the link stops working, please PM me so I can upload the file to an alternative service, as this is from my personal Dropbox.
When the download finishes, use a file manager, and find /download/DZHboot_PC10IMG.zip. Copy/paste it to the root of your SDCard, and then rename it PC10IMG.zip.
A quick word about PC10IMG.zip: this file, when present on the root of your SDCard, will automatically be read by your bootloader. We want this to update your HBoot. However, the reason we DO NOT want a PC10IMG on the first card is because this file also prevents the bootloader from being able to enter recovery. This is why this method requires two cards. One to flash the HBoot, and one to enter recovery to flash a ROM. Once the HBoot flashes, it will wipe your phone, so you must have a ROM or backup to get it working again.
Reboot your phone into bootloader. If you have 3/4 way reboot, simply hold the power button while the phone is on, select reboot/restart, and select bootloader. If you do not have this feature, shut the phone off, then hold volume down+camera key, then press power. The bootloader will scan for updates, and will then prompt you if you wish to apply the update. Press volume up to accept this prompt. Do not turn the phone off or remove the battery while this process is engaged! When it is complete, you will be prompted to reboot the phone. Do so. You will notice that your phone is "stuck" at the white HTC bootsplash, even if you have flashed a different splash image. This is normal.
Remove the battery. Remove the SDCard, and insert the first card. Boot into the bootloader, and then volume-down to recovery, and press power. While the phone has technically been "wiped", there is the possibility of remaining bits of info in the memory, so it is good practice to perform a complete wipe. Scroll down to "mounts and storage", and select the following options: "format /cache, format /data, and format /system." DO NOT format /sdcard!!!
Now press the back key to return to the main screen, and select "install a .zip from SDCard". You can find Virtuous Unity in the /download folder if you downloaded from your web browser, or /clockworkmod/downloads/ if you used RomManager. Select the Unity zip file, and install it. Once this is done, press the back key to the main menu, select "reboot device".
Once the G2 has started up, you may experience lockups. This is a known bug with the G2 related to overclocking. If it happens, reboot into bootloader, enter the recovery, and flash /download/virtuous_unity-ocfreq-patch.zip. This should fix the problem!
Last step: open a file manager, and find the radio file you downloaded earlier. It should be in /download, and is a .zip named Vision Radio 12.56.60.25 26.10.04.03 PC10IMG.zip. Copy/Paste to the root of your SDCard (which we can do now that the phone is working again!) And then rename it PC10IMG.zip Reboot one last time into bootloader, and again press volume up to accept the update. When it is done, reboot the phone as prompted. Delete the PC10IMG.zip files from the root of each SDCard, and you are done! Enjoy!
Hope you find this helpful!
EDIT: Updated the DB link to the Hboot.

Perhaps it didn't download properly. Reboot and re download. Delete previous version and move new DZ hboot to the root (not in any folders) of your SD. Be sure you've named it PC10IMG.zip and not PC10IMG.zip.zip. The zip part is added automatically so you shouldn't need to enter it yourself. Then reboot into bootloader and try again.

Hmm... what about posting in the thread with the guide you're trying to follow? The user who wrote the it seems like he/she would be really helpful. Also, if you can get ADB installed, this is a super easy guide to use for the DZ Hboot:

But first and foremost I'd PM the user that wrote the guide you're trying to use... but that's just me. Good luck.

So your purpose is to obtain the DZ eng hboot without using a PC... meaning without ADB, right? Because there are other ways to do this... they require a PC, but if it's that important to you you should download the Android SDK.
There's a really clear/great guide here.
Maybe contact some of the Virtuous guys like cjward23... he's really knowledgable. I don't know why in the world the file isn't being recognized by your phone.
One strange thing I encountered... my phone wouldn't recognize the PC10IMG file unless I booted into bootloader from the phone off, using volume down + power button. This may have been a fluke, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

either should be ok. If you have always used the phone to download the file and this does not work for you then I would look at using a computer,somehow the file is being corrupted with the phone download,as I said the link is a dropboxed version of the exact file that I flashed so am sure the file works,let me know how you go.

[Q] G2 stuck in a boot loop please help..

Not sure what to do here...
I rooted this G2 earlier this evening and decided I wanted Cyanogenmod 7 as the rom.
I flashed Clockworkmod and installed the rom and then gapps directly after without rebooting, I'm not sure if that screwed it up. Anyway, now I'm in a boot loop.
I held volume down and power and can get in to that screen but it won't seem to let me select fastboot. I just noticed earlier when I plug it in with the power off it will open up Clockworkmod Recovery but after a few seconds the screen goes dark and whatever process began, stops.
When I do open it up with volume down + power it automatically starts up hboot after a few seconds and examines the froyo rom (PC10IMG) I still have on my SD card (at least I assume that's the one it's looking at) and it says the "main version is older / Update fail"
Also on the recovery screen (volume down + Power) it previous said s-off and now it's back to s-on. I think I can get access to adb btw.
I looked through the threads but I couldn't seem to find a definitive answer so I apologize in advance if I didn't scour them as well as I should have. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Sounds like you let your pc10img.zip run again, what method did you use to root? Write down everything on your bootloader screen

I used the adb method. I downgraded from GB to Froyo and then used the adb commands here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228) to perm root. I had a stable root after that was all said and done it just went in to the boot loop after I installed Cyanogenmod and the Gapps.
After the boot loop began it DID re-run the pc10img.zip Or well, I should say, I, re-ran it
I downloaded the RUU but I didn't attempt it because I figured I've already gotten myself in enough trouble as it is.

Oh yeah, here's exactly what the bootloader screen says.

Yeah you are in tough place right now, never heared of the bootloader you have and the method you used to root can be dangerous, hopefull we can still use clockwork. Remove the pc10img.zip from sdcard and try to boot to hboot and then choose recovery, see if it lets you flash a rom

I removed the pc10img.zip from the SD card and NOW the bootloader allows me to actually make selections. I chose recovery and it went right in to Clockworkmod.
I tried to reflash Cyanogenmod 7 and it seemed to work but it is still in the boot loop. I think the reason it didn't go through correctly was because my phone is now s-on? when I originally rooted it and attempted to flash it, it was s-off. I am beginning to understand the scope of the problem here.
Would it be possible to download a t-mobile stock recovery rom image and flash that with clockworkmod? never tried that before.
Or, should I use the RUU, hope it works and start from scratch?
Or some other option that's beyond me.
Thanks for your help! This isn't my main phone and I was merely rooting it as a backup/experimental phone. I'd rather not have a paper weight but we shall see I guess. Thanks again!
I rooted my other G2 with the described method and it worked like a charm but for future reference is there any safer method available?

See the xda wiki for the proper root method, at this point you should try and flash an ruu through fastboot and start from scratch with the downgrade and root via gfree (xda wiki)

So just so I have it straight - root the phone first and then try and flash a stock rom through fast boot? Not sure if that's possible because I'm not sure if I have access to usb debug but I'll check and get back.
I downloaded the RUU from the htc website. Should I just follow the instructions included with that program?
Thanks for the advice!

Start with ruu, if it lets you return to stock great, then move on to the xda wiki, here it will link you to downgrade instructions and then go back to wiki to root and soff via gfree
