Wrong forum, also, you just got it today... you shouldn't be rooting until you absolutely know what you're doing. I'd tell you how to fix it but I think you should read more. Good luck.

Too bad I cannot help you as I never rooted my phone with unrEVOked, I just did it manually by myself on my PC...luckily, I read carefully before proceeding.
Sounds like u used the like a boss edition 2.02 hboot root if so go to that forum to get the correct answer also try flashing a rom in recovery thats what that red traingle is u need to adb into the recovery look on the thread u find the root at this is wroung section u need q&a

if i can do command prompts from my pc to my phone will i be able to flash the original software onto here?
Yes you will just adb your phone into recovery and should allow flashing a rom

First off is the stock pc36img.img on your root of your sdcard? If so pull the battery out, put it back in and hold down the power and vol down to boot in the bootloader. you should be fine once it installs you should be back with a stock rom. If you don't have the stock pc35img.img you can get it from here http://www.multiupload.com/U27BZXVWWI.
hope this helps
http://www.multiupload.com/U27BZXVWWI
Download that, rename it PC36IMG, put it on your SD card... reboot phone into recovery(while phone is OFF, press and hold volume down, while pressing the power button), it will load, follow onscreen instructions
Have you tried using an ruu. It should be able to return your phone to stock
u should goto the androidforum and read ROOTING FOR DUMMIES thread! u will not f up your ph and it will take u 15 mins to root yah ph give or take a few!

Hey all, I originally had Damage 3.2.2 installed, had wimax update, and the new radio, everything was fine, I am now trying to restore everything back to factory with the HTC Android ROM update utility, v1.0.2.10. I plug it in, go through the steps, it starts to wipe everything, then when it starts copying files it gives me this error. So when it canceled and the phone rebooted, it was just stuck on the white evo screen and loops. I figured it was just because of the new update and all, so I was still able, (thanks god) to flash over Bugless V03. Tryed to use the utility again, and still gives the error. Can anyone help get me back to factory please? thanks for the help I would like to go get my new EVO with out any worry.
So you still have root and access to the recovery console? Odd that you are having problems restoring. Instead of using the exe file, I believe you can flash the zip file using the phones built in hboot menu instead. I don't think it will check the software version first, it's worth a shot. I think you have to name it PC36IMG.zip I think. I would find the exact info but I'm not on a pc at the moment.

I didnt use the OTA update, I flashed Damage 3.2.2, it never effected my ROOT or NAND, I just need to get it back to factory so I can return my phone for a new one. They got one waitin on me to pick up tomorrow afternoon. I have to work all day so I have to either stay up, and figure this out or, if I cant figure something out then I will have to cross my fingers when I go up there tomorrow. I have already spoke with a rep in person, he seemed cool. He looked at my phone for a good minute, scrolled through a few things, I couldnt see what it was, but he just handed it back to me and told me to just come back tomorrow at the same time, and hell swap it. I didnt realize it but I was already on a list for the phone, so Im gettin it either way I guess. I just dont want anything to happen when I go up there. Even if I could just flash over something updated or not just looked "stock" maybe I can just slip in and out.
Ahh okay. Well, look around for the zip format of the exe file in the "how to go back to stock" thread a few posts down.

I see that thread, but all I do see is just the .exe files, no zip. There isnt just a installer like with the old version, I have the older exe, before I flashed damage3.2.2 I could easily go back to factory by running that exe and goin through the steps
Alright, this is what I was talking about, I posted it in another thread:
I think he can try restoring to factory.
Download this:
http://www.joeyconway.me/evo/stock/R...253_signed.zip
Rename it PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of the SD card.
Turn off the phone, hold volume down and turn it on, it should boot into hboot, sort of a factory recovery
It will automatically detect the zip file and ask if you want to apply it. Select yes, and it should restore to factory.
If you continue to have problems, then there is probably something wrong with the phone and it'll need to be returned.

Bootloader was updated with nw ota. Ur applying an old ruu and getting an errir, that's 100% normal you can't roll.back with ruu. Search the board for ducks sake, look at all the threads about rooting nw ota. This is there problem. Just flash another update zip first then u can ruu back.
Yup, that would do it. Hope you can get it worked out before you take it back.

If you still have recovery flash dc 3.2. This should rest you bootlegger.
Then run a ruu.
Nooo, I think that is a different file. You can try searching for the link i tried go link that doesn't work, but I doubt it will work if you updated the boot loader. The method I was suggesting would have restored to stock, but with a newer bootloader I'm not sure what to do exactly.
Edit:
If damage control 3.2 has an older bootloader it should work, give it a go.

If you still have NAND unlock, then try this starting at step 2. This will enable you to downgrade.

Is there one of these images that isnt from the engineering evo? Im trying to get one that wont tell my phone it is an engineering phone, because for some reason my market will not displayed paid apps at all.
Thanks
out of curiosity, why are you running an engineering rom instead of flashing a stock rooted or custom?
Im not running the rom, but its the engineering bootloader. Id like to return the bootloader to the stock one so that it might restore the correct market.

What does the bootloader on the phone have to do with what Market it displays?
Oh, wait... that's right. NOTHING.
If you've put some ROM on it that has a signature not recognized, that's your own lookout.
Hey thanks for being a **** but maybe there is just something you arent aware of. I have flashed about 10 roms, all of them with the problem that the market doesnt have a paid section in it. People have indicated that it might be because for some reason my phone is being displayed as an engineering model, which is why i wanted to return the stock bootloader. My problem is unique, literally nobody has been able to be of any help, and you being an ass doesnt help.
Im no idiot ive been doing this for a while, and it isnt that my specific rom is messed up.

Ah, I see. Sorry, I'm not going to walk you through that entire procedure. I've never done it before. Bootloader unlock, recovery flash, and root flash are covered here on the forums if you search. If you can't figure that out I don't recommend that you try to continue; that procedure is for advanced users.

You may be better off to find a shop in your area that has experience doing this kind of thing. To me, its not something that can be explained in depth over the internet. I was gonna say, if you've never rooted or flashed a custom recovery/ROM, then this is definitely something you shouldn't attempt. You could seriously ruin your phone.
Your radio, also known as modem or baseband, is what allows your phone to connect to the network for calls and data and such. Think of a computer modem.

I said I was gonna try to locate an easier method for the unlocking process, there is no easier way. I can't explain all this here. Mods don't want this kind of stuff to be repeated over and over in multiple threads. You have to be rooted 1st, then flash custom recovery(TWRP or CWM), then find lg2 modem files HERE and flash it. Then proceed with next steps. Like I said, if have no experience with rooting/recoveries(this is the easy part), then you may not be able to do this. Good Luck.
