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.

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!

I use Amon Ra (you can search for it here), rename it to PC36IMG.zip and transfer to SD card.
Boot into bootloader (power off, then volume down + power key).
It will then find the file, ask you if you want to run/install, and BOOM.
I did that but I think I'm being an idiot I can't get root

Don't you have to flash another file after getting s-off to obtain root? That is what I did because it said to in the instructions/documentation.

Yes, move it from pc or download it.
Go into recovery and install zip from there
S-Off doesn't equal root. It takes the security off so you CAN root.
Flash the recovery, as posted, and then flash a ROM. The ROM have the root exploit in them and should all come with Superuser, which is what allows your programs to use the root exploit.

If you are having an issue just go through the root method again and this time say YES when they ask you about Clockwork. This is if you are having issues flashing a recovery. It wont hurt your phone.
Suggestion - If you are entering the world of rooting and flashing roms, one of the most important things or probably the most important is to read and read again then when you think you got it read one more time. Alot of info in xda. follow OP's instructions to the letter and you will be ok...
Good luck

I have done it over and over .. watched the video posted in another thread. I have tried different su files posted and same thing. I can install custom roms and it works great. I have superuser icon in apps.. no apps listed.
rom manager says not rooted.
terminal says not rooted
Yeah, the process is get S-Off, which removes the security
Flash Recovery, so you can flash ROMS, Kernels, etc.
Flash A ROM, which will have root, system files, etc so that you have a setup to work with.
Think of it like setting up a new computer. Once you get the components, you have to format your hard drive so it'll hold the operating system.

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.

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.

Which is basically the same as mine only the hboot version is different,I am really not sure what the problem is,try one more time on the computer to download the PC10IMG.zip and send it across,I see from searching that there seems to be a few people having problems,do the MD5checksum as that makes sure the zip has not been corrupted and rules out a bad download.
Try from the official site or from my dropbox link.

Have PM'd you with a suggestion to reroot your phone as I am out of ideas
So i have rooted the htc DZ and tried out multiple roms... Till now i used to use the CWR to wipe the data/cache before loading a new rom.. Yesterday i decided to try SuperWipeG2+ without reading much(not trying to understand what it exactly does).
After i flashed it, i by mistake hit the reboot now in CWR and it hung at the boot screen. To fix this i removed the battery and put it back in,since power on was not working. When i did so it went to HBoot and started flashing the 1.34 PC10IMG file present in the sdcard which i did not remove after rooting.
Query:-
1) Should i have removed 1.34 PC10IMG?
2)If i ever face a similar situation like mentioned above will it enter the recovery,if the1.34 PC10IMG file was not present ?(i did try to do away with updating the 1.34 PC10IMG,but always entered the HBoot on every subsequent restart and never allowed me to change the options from flashboot to anything else).
2a)If it does not enter recovery, then what is it to be done?
3)Currently i have stock 1.34 rom which says i do not have root(check this by installing rom manger )! but when i check Boot page, it says S-off and other Hboot etc.
I did run from step 1. to root DZ and it was back to good old rooted condition.
(Did a lot searching and reading but i couldn't answer the above questions- hence the thread also just not comfortable experimenting too much,might end bricking the phone )
Non-rooting query:-
4)Also what is use of app2sd/partition of sd-card!
i mean, as per my understanding this(app2sd) can"only"be used when there is partition in you sd-card which allows apps to be moved to sd-card,but when using MIUI rom i still can move most of the user apps to sd-card..
If these questions has been already asked and replied or even already explained please forgive me for creating this thread and please provide the link.. Would appreciate a lot..
Thanks..
Anyone ... Sorry abt the long post...

I only know no.4
Since Froyo, you dont need this app. You can move it to your sd card under the Application setting. But, not all apps can be moved (such as task manager, pre installed app). You dont need to create partition, just install it and run it.
Anyway, since our DZ has internal memory 1,5 GB, I never moved apps to sd card
Cheers

For the other q's
Yes you should remove the PC10IMG from your sdcard.otherwise you can't get into recovery through bootloader.
(although you could boot to fastboot, and if you have the eng bootloader boot a recovery through terminal/cmd)
Did you run the "./root_psn" step of the rooting guide? If not that might be the error with not perm-root

This phone was rooted already, then today I returned it to stock since the cyanogen7 that was on there did not... somehow... have the menu option to "update profile" I needed to change my phone number. I wanted to re-root, but I'm having trouble where to begin.
In the Power+Vol Down boot screen, it shows S-OFF, and HBOOT 2.10.0001
I cant make Revolutionary work because 2.15 is the lowest HBOOT it accepts.
If I choose the "recovery" option in that list, I get a black screen with a red triangle/exclamation point icon over an icon of the phone. I have to take the battery out to get the phone back on.
The phone does work, btw. But I miss the stuff I get when it's rooted. Anyway... what do I do now? How do I get the recovery/cyanogen7 on there if I cant get superuser permissions?
I used some other method back when I rooted this phone, but I haven't seen anything yet to spark my memory of the steps.
U are already s-off. No need for revolutionary. Go to dev thread and look for amon_ra recovery. Download it and follow directions to flash it. Then download whatever rom u want and flash that. The red triangle just means you have no recovery.
Support TrevE !!
I thought Revolutionary was how I got the custom recovery on the phone, which I need before I can root? I;d like to put CWM on there, since I have a paid version of Rom Manager already, and I believe they work together well.

If that's your hboot then you rooted with unrevoked and don't use rom manager and clockworkmod everyone here will tell you it leads to problems

You did originally root with unrevoked. Sometimes it doesn't flash the recovery [known fact] in which you do as Paranoia said above, as to download, flash, and install a recovery.

Rom Manager is installed though, but to do anything it wants to install CWM. So do I let it? I need the market, obviously. If Rom Manager is to be avoided, what replaces it? I liked how everything was in one place, with auto backup's and recovery of the phone, etc...

You just need to flash the latest gapps in recovery.
Okay, that's in process. But the question remains, should I uninstall Rom Manager or can I use it? If I shouldn't use it, is there anything that replaces it? How would I go about backing up my phone and data? I've paid for Titanium a while ago, so I know I can use that to backup app's, but what about the phone itself?

You'll have to uninstall rom manager as you need CWM recovery. To back up, simply backup all your apps and data in tb, boot into recovery, select nandroid restore/backup, selecet backup, and you NEED the first 3 checked [boot, system, data]. Also if its your first, backup wimax as well, then copy it to your pc for safe keeping, in case you ever lost your wimax keys.
Figured I would ask here instead of opening a new thread...I have an evo running hboot 2.10 and 3.30 software that I would like to root. I've used unrevoked back in the day but its been so long. So I was thinking about upgrading and using revolutionary. Is there really any difference that would want me to re learn unrevoked, or just upgrade the h boot and software and use revo? any insight would be appreciated

Figured I would ask here instead of opening a new thread...I have an evo running hboot 2.10 and 3.30 software that I would like to root. I've used unrevoked back in the day but its been so long. So I was thinking about upgrading and using revolutionary. Is there really any difference that would want me to re learn unrevoked, or just upgrade the h boot and software and use revo? any insight would be appreciated

Just use unrevoked, download and install the hboot drivers from the site, connect the phone via usb, charge only, usb debugging enabled, run the software.

There is no reason to "upgrade" to revolutionary. Unrevoked is the same thing as revo. Just unrevoked doesnt work with the newer hboots. If your already s-off in bootloader there is no difference. U can use any rom regardless if u used revo or unrevoked. The whole object of rooting is to get s-off. Once you have it there is nothing more you can do. Ive used both on unrevoked on my original evo. And revo on my newer refurb. There basically the same. Easy auto root pretty much.
