[Q] Can't Flash Back to 1.47 with RUU

Hello All,
I have an EVO that was running 1.47 (rooted) with no issues. In anticipation for a 100% bugless Froyo ROM I unrooted with the 1.47 RUU so I wouldn't have any issues with the Official OTA. After HTC pulled the ROM I found the manual install version here at XDA and wanted to give it a shot.
While searching for the 3.26 "official" update I stumbled upon Ava's 2.2 ROM. I tried to reroot using SimpleRoot OTA and install Ava's ROM. Once I got to step four I received the error that the original version of the ROM was newer and it wouldn't finish. I tried to follow the steps found in thread ID 7454229 (can't post links yet) but received a Error 140: Bootloader Version Error. I figured that the rooted ROMs for 2.2 weren't far off and one of the geniuses here at XDA would have it rooted in a day or two - so I didn't think twice about just updating to the "official" HTC 2.2.
I received an email with Flipz' new Fresh v3 beta and wanted to jump ship back to the rooted world. When I attempt to reflash the 1.47 RUU I still receive the Error 140: Bootloader Version error. So I'm kind of stuck, I know I'm not rooted anymore (I get prompts from Quickboot and ROM Manager) and I can't flash to an older version to re-root. I've searched and tried repeated times with no success - can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Wait, so are you on 1.47 or on Froyo? I'm a bit confused. If you are on 1.47, then you shouldn't have a problem rooting using one of the 1.47 root methods. If you are on Froyo, you are screwed for the time being.

I'm on the 3.26 Froyo update. I was trying to get back to 1.47 via the RUU to reroot with SimpleRoot OTA. Sorry for the long winded, confusing post. I was just trying to provide as many details as possible. I kind of conceded to just waiting for the official 2.2 OTA and an XDAer to root it. I'm just impatient and really want to try out Fresh v3 and Fresh Kitchen.
Thanks for the quick reply!

[Q] July 2.2 to OTA 2.2 Help

Hello everyone,
I installed the 2.2 incredible ROM leaked in July. Now the official 2.2 is out and I assume that it would be wise to update to it. I am sure this is quite obvious for some but I am not sure what the exact process for my update should be. I updated the radio to the 2.x one in order to update to the leaked 2.2 ROM. I had thought that attempting to install this twice bricked a phone so I am unsure as to whether I can safely just load the OTA 2.2 ROM without bricking my phone.
Thanks

flashing the same* radio twice will brick your phone- yep. check Berzerker7's -The ultimate get back to stock- thread for instructions.
Good luck.

If you have a 2.xx radio you should be able to flash any 2.2 Rom using clockwork

Upgrade a 2.1 Rooted Evo to Froyo

I tried searching on this and closes match I could find was this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352
However, that refers to a "Leaked" Froyo firmware. What I'm trying to do is to upgrade my already rooted 2.1 Evo to Froyo (2.2) and then root that of course
If I try to do a OTA upgrade automatically through the phone, I get an error. Anyone advise what the best method of doing the upgrade would be?

Maybe try this -

I had stock 2.2 with the latest OTA and rooted it. It was very very simple. Here's the link-

Hah. Very interesting question. Ok, so rooting lets you change the system as well as the other partitions. Froyo and eclair are both system changes, so try flashing a froyo rom. Didn't you research before rooting?

Yep, you're right. I'd blame it partly on being 1 AM and partly for not thinking it through. Thanks.

Will downloading the new software update affect rooting?

Just got a notification that OTA update version version 3.70.651.1 is available. I have a "new" evo (bought 2 weeks ago) and I'm waiting for the update to Unrevoked to be released so I can root my phone.
My question is...if I download this new OTA update will it keep me from being able to use the new unrevoked (whenever it is released)?

I'm sure that this has been posted before but it will affected your ability to root somehow. The update is just out so there is no definitive way of knowing. Just be patient. Once you get root on your device AS IT CURRENTLY IS (no update applied) then go on ahead and flash one of the deodexed versions of the new ROM that will be flying around...

Just root the phone with its current software build using the unrevoked that is out now and then flash the stock 3.70 onto the phone from any of the devs. There is like 3 versions already and all of them are completely stock. Once someone figures out how to root the new build then use the ruu file that flashes the phone back to stock and unroots it..... You will then have a fresh build of the new OTA ... Root it using whatever proven method comes out and flash away....
Patience young grasshopper.... LOL

Unrevoked tends to corrupt newer phones, especially their 4G. They are not configured the same.

Well the thing is the current Unrevoked doesn't work on my phone as it CURRENTLY is...I have the newest version from the store and it's not currently supported by Unrevoked. So if Unrevoked isn't even out for the version I currently have, it's gonna take even longer to come out with a version of Unrevoked that's compatible with the new OTA update that came out today (if that makes sense lol). But i think you're right...I'll just wait for the new Unrevoked to come out for my current software and take it from there.

firmware 2.1-update1 HTC Evo 4g

Hey guys, so I been trying to root my phone for like the last 3-4 days ever since I got it. Sadly, I cannot root it and have given up hope, and just wish to get my 2.2 firmware back, I've got the stock rom now (sprint lovers?) and everything seems good, except for the fact that my firmware stayed at 2.1-update1, and I can't find a way to get it back to 2.2
Can anyone help me with this?
(Also does anyone live in Fresno, CA? Willing to pay to get my thing rooted )

There are so many things wrong with this question.
If you never rooted, how did you flash a rom?
I have no idea why it'd say you're still on 2.1 if you installed a 2.2 rom to begin with.
How the hell did you downgrade to 2.1 from 2.2?

I don't think they flashed at all there on the stock sprint old enclair ota, but how did they get on 2.1? I suggest you do a ota update. Go to settings - scroll to the bottom and choose system update then choose software update.
Maybe that will get you on froyo 2.2.
Best of luck.
!πf€©£€d Evo 4g

I have tried going to system update and choosing firmware update but it claims there is no update available. I dont know how I downgraded, I was attempting to use autoroot v2.3 and it installed a different rom that says "Quietly Brilliant" at the start-up screen, but now I have it back to stock. Where the original sprint load up screen came up.
Everything seems good except for the fact that it says I'm running firmware 2.1-update1 and can't use my flashlight, on my phone to use the camera light as a LED light :S

First off, if you are rooted, NEVER EVER try to update your phone. You could permanently lose root. Every single guide to rooting tells you this.
Second, just download and run a stock ruu for the latest version of the stock rom.
