I downloaded the executable, ran it and I get the following error:
USB Connection Error (Something like that)
The phone reboots and just says htc. The executable is waiting for boot loader and times out after a minute or so.
I unplug the usb after the executable errors out and it instantly goes to a boot loader screen with ruu. I cannot run anything and have no choice but to battery pull.
According to the RUU thread, one person mentioned having to complete part 2 of rooting so i did that. I still cannot return this thing to stock!!!
I need to send it back to sprint, but I gotta get it back to stock first.
How the crap do I get this back to stock!
I'd reply in the RUU thread, but it looks like the last guy who posted never got a response...hopefully this thread will get me an answer.
adb reboot into recovery using "adb reboot recovery" then enable USB and run the RUU

I ran in to the same issue just now. I couldn't fix it, but here is how to do essentially the same thing.
Follow this guide to extract the RUU
Rename the rom.zip file you extract to PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card
Reboot into the bootloader, it will load the file and ask if you wanna install it, you should do so
It'll finish and ask if it should reboot, choose yes and boot into a stock phone.
Its a driver issue, at least it was for me, the google drivers don't work for the htc ruu application. You need the htc drivers install for the phone to be recognized by the rom updater. Hope that helps.
i had that issue too, for me it was the drivers. i then used my work computer and it allowed me to use the RUU
I always had to run a ruu from fastboot in order for it to work
YMMV, but I had to run the oldest RUU first when I was at 1.47 level, and then re-run 1.47 RUU for it to work. Otherwise, bootloader would never get pickup up.
I always had to restart the RUU after I got the error first. Run it again after it times out, when your phone is sitting at the HTC screen and it will work.
Just install the latest HTC Sync and you're set. That will fix your issue. Install HTC Sync and run the RUU afterwards.

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. I was able to load that ROM. I think it's still rooted though, I can get to the menu by pressing volume down/power.
Any ideas?
ideas on what?

Any ideas if my phone is still rooted, or what I need to do to get it back 100% to the way I got it from Sprint.
You can always got into that recovery when holding down vol and pwr. If you go to recovery you should only see a triangle and an exclamation. That means you are not rooted.

At this time there isn't a way to get your Evo 100% back to stock. Why do you quote yourself?
^I quoted myself because mattrb thought I was being vague, and I didn't want anyone to be confused, so I emphasized my previous post which was clear enough, I thought....and I was right!
Thanks guys for all the help. In the end, I used the copied the RUU ROM to the SDCARD, named it PC36IMG and restarted the phone holding volume down...the rest was automatic.
hey dreamliner did u use the 1.47 ruu or the 1.32? I am in need of the same thing but I cant get the 1.47 to run...
would this work renaming the zip and copying it to the mSD card?
http://www.sdx-downloads.com/sdx/evo/stock/OTA_Supersonic_1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6_release.zip
I cant get the RUU to extract using process manager, and only once have I gotten the 1.47 RUU to boot the device into bootloader and tried again with the phone on the HTC black screen, unplugged, re plugged and thenran it again and it was giving me the 170 usb error again.

This is the easy solution, worked for me. No need to make things more complicated by extracting the rom.zip.
As bcnice said just run the RUU and when your phone is showing the HTC logo and you get the USB error just rerun the RUU.
I tried one of the rooting processes today and it didn't work. Now when I turn my Evo on it goes no further than the white HTC screen that you get when you turn it on. When I try to run the RUU it gets a connection error and won't go through. Can someone please help?

If you pull the battery can you get to the bootloader screen? (hold volume down and power button when turning on)
You should be able to do what Greenfieldan suggests. It is possible to work through this issue, so don't fear but it make take a few tries.

Thread stalking is fun, I see which thread you are reading, but you may have to reset you phone.
Do you either:
Have a recovery installed (if you aren't sure, then you may not)
have a PCIMG36 on the root of your sdcard, (if you aren't sure then you may not)

Just download the actual ruu from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060. It will be one of the .exe files same version of you had on the phone will prolly work best. Then do what xhausx said and run the ruu file once there. Thanks xhausx btw cause i was confused too.

Need Help
I know this is an old thread, but I'm working on an old phone. Hopefully some of you guys are still following this.
My father has an EVO 3D that showed up one day stuck on the white HTC screen. The only remedy was to pull the battery. I thought it would be no big deal to just go into the boot menu and either try and run recovery, or at worst do a factory reset. Both of these options failed. I even made a few attempts at trying from the SD card with a ROM or two. So I downloaded the RUU direct from HTC thinking that would finally take care of the problem. But after connecting up in FASTBOOT mode and running the RUU, it eventually fails when the update gets to the point that it's supposed to restart the phone in bootloader mode. Because at that point the phone just restarts to the white HTC logo again, and the software times out telling me that it can't connect to the device. Any help here other than passing me a trash can Thanks in advance!
My phone is stuck at the white Evo splash screen. This happenned after I performed the autoroot procedure located at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448

Then I tried downloading the 3.70 rom as a zip file, named it pc36100.zip, put it in the root of my sd card, then I went into recovery mode and I told it to start the update. It looks like it works but I get a message at the end that says "partition update fail!" and then it asks me to reboot and I'm right back at the endless white evo splash screen. I even tried to load several times using the evo-recovery where I was able to pick which image I wanted to phone to update but it fails with a symlink error of some sort.
I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated here.

I would also try running the RUU and PC36IMG a couple more times, maybe download them from a different source. Do you have HTC sync installed on your computer? I believe it's needed to use the RUU. So if you pull your battery out, reinsert it, then plug your Evo into a wall charger, the light goes steady green after a few minutes? Strange, I'd try a different RUU. Did you download from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu . I haven't experienced problems like this before (fortunately) but I've also read about people needing to format their SD card before it would work, using the PC36IMG. Not sure why, but possibly something corrupted on the SD card? Did the auto root give you any sort of errors or anything? Or did it just appear to work, and then this happened?
Also, you could try running the RUU from fastboot mode. Boot to the bootloader, select 'fastboot', and then try the RUU
HTC Sync is indeed needed for the RUU in .exe form.
Boot into hboot by holding down the volume down button while turning on your phone. I believe you choose hboot USB and then run the RUU exe.

The fastboot method worked! Awesome. So, in the hboot menu, it says S-OFF, which I assume means it's rooted. If that's the case, then I can push any rom I want on top of it now, correct?

Sweet, I'm glad it worked for you. So it says you're S off, even after running the RUU? I've never used the Autoroot method, but it must flash unrevoked forever, somewhere in the process. Well, if it says you're S off, I believe the only thing you're missing before you can flash anything is a custom recovery, which you most likely do not have, after running RUU. I believe that since you're s off, you can just flash a custom recovery from the bootloader, and then flash a rom. You could also use ROM manager to flash a recovery, you'd just need to download and install the Super User app, I believe. I think that should work for you? I've never tried to just flash a recovery from a stock ROM, right after an RUU, but if you're s off, i dont see why you can't do that. Download the PC36IMG I attatch here, make sure its named PC36IMG, put it on the main directory of your sd card, boot to the bootloader. Let it scan and ask you to update. Select volume up for yes. After that's done, you should have custom Amon Ra V2.3 recovery. From there, you 'should' be able to flash ROMs. good luck.
Edit: wouldn't let me upload the PC36IMG for some reason. Instead, click this link to download. http://db.tt/7jGH2CA

**daemon still not runningerror: cannot connect to daemon
*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
*daemon started successfully *
**daemon still not runningerror: cannot connect to daemon
what do i do?
I know. It looks like a lengthy read. But all the information you could possibly need I've provided. Please let me know what you think. Also, I've done some searchign around but none of the scenarios I found were a result to flash back to stock sprint RUU.
The error reads as follows: "Attention. A network error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen."
What actually happens: Anytime I open Marketplace, Facebook app, send a message through KakaoTalk or GroupMe, pretty much anything that uses the 3G, 4G data, it doesn't work. The message only comes up when I try to use the marketplace app. All other apps just say there was a connection error, connecting to the server, etc.
When I hit "Retry" it goes right back to the same dialog pop up, as if it doesnt even re"try". The top notification bar goes from 3G and then disappears, then goes from 3G and just continually disappears. It doesnt matter if I have 4G on or WiFi, it will just goes back to 3G when attempting to gain data, and then disappears and the error happens.
My Timeline of events: I first had been running Synergy and everything was fine. Suddenly my wall charger (or any wall charger for that matter) stopped working when plugged in. The car charger still works, but no HTC wall chargers, odd. So I decided to use that insurance for good and bring it into sprint. Gotta unroot and all that jazz first though. I downloaded the "RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe" and found a way to connect my phone to the PC, and finished the wizard. Mind you, before I did this, I went into recovery (while on synergy) and did a dalvik cache wipe, data/factory wipe and cache wipe, then went back into hboot and ran the wizard from there. Everything went fine, the ROM install was successful, I no longer have recovery and it was the stock sprint ROM.
Where things got fishy...: After it was running through all the constant reboots and things, I let the phone sit while I did other things. I came back to it, signed into my gmail and facebook fine, then went to marketplace. I started downloading all my purchased apps and since that was going to take some time, I let it sit again and went off.
Fishy part: I come back to he phone, and would normally just pull down notification taskbar, and hit clear all notifications, since it said a bunch of things had sucessfully installed, but I notcied it also said "System update complete." Hmmm, I didn't start any system update...did it do it automatically? It had to of. I went to check for an OTA (HTC software update) and it found "System upgrade 1.47.651.1 (30.15 MB) - FOTA update." I canceled it since I pretty sure doing an OTA update on a rooted ROM is a no-no.
So what the heck is the problem here, I never had these issues before until I went back to the stock sprint ROM. I've already updated PRL a few times, does nothing.
Should I go back and reflash it and this time make sure it doesnt do a system upgrade until I've turned S-OFF back to S-ON? Once the phone is S-ON is it safe to update OTA?
My About Phone details are a sfollows:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 1.39.00.05.31
Kernal version: 2.6.29-a2443432
Build number: 1.32.651.6 CL171253 release-keys
Software number: 1.32.651.6
Browser version: WebKit 3.1
PRI version: 1.90_003
PRL version: 60683
Any help, advice, suggestions are welcome!!!!! Please hook me up fellas, I'm a little bogged down about the upset.
UPDATE:
Okay. Since I am an impatient person and the last resort was going to re-flash the RUU, I'm just going to do that. And then make sure there is no system update. Once that is done, I'll run the S-ON tool from somewhere, hopefully I won't need recovery for anything, aaand then we'll see where we are. If you're reading all this PLEASE reply with something, anything to let me know somewhere out there is alive! lol, please.
With phone s on and stock ruu loaded it should be fine to accept update...wow u might get froyo lol. And it might help with your data issue...idk much but I know a little.
Edit: maybe try a newer ruu that might help with the data as well. not sure how HTC updates but i think it goes one at a time instead of newest available

Here is amon ra recovery. Put on root of SD card and flash in bootloader. http://db.tt/TOsdM52P
This should get u recovery back so u can flash the s on tool. Then run a newer ruu, there is a thread in the EVO dev section with the latest, and hopefully it will also fix your data problems

Okay, I downloaded the file, put it on SD card, unplugged it, opened hboot and it tried loading the PC36IMG file, it said wrong image or soemthing like that about 6 times and then went back to the regular screen. Although, it has ALWAYS said wrong image for me, so I'm not worried about that.
So now I just went down and hit recovery and its a no go.
OKAY! Now my phone goes straight to the black screen with a Phone on it, and a little red triable with an exclamation point inside everytime now. It used to only come up when i tried going into recovery. now it comes up everytime i load up the phone. does this mean, its bricked...
EDIT: nvm, I was able to load HBOOT thank god, but still having trouble getting the damn recovery.
Well go to amon ra thread in the EVO dev section and dl th pc36img from there...maybe u got a bad dl...

After its finished doing whatever it does, can i go straight to recovery, or do i need to reboot again for changes to take effect?
Well, it did the wrong image no image thing again like it always does, and then i tried going into recovery aaaand it didnt work.

Yyyeeaaah, about that. I forgot to rename it. *facepalm* Just did it, powering in through HBOOT AGAIN. still did the wrong image no image thing, but this time, about it actually did some progress bar thing on the right hand side. but just for a second, and then went back to saying it was the wrong image or no image.
I highlighted the entier file name "recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img" and renamed it to "PC36IMG.ZIP" and then it turned into a zip file. restarted the phone in nboot and didnt work.

Okay, so check it out.
I ran the "RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_rele ase_171253.exe" before and flashed that, but i remember that i had to unroot my gf's phone back in june, so i went to my downlaod list and saw that i used "RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe"
So I just did that, and the 3G data seems to be fine. [email protected] Now onward to unrooting.
Now that I have stock ROM, do I just run a S-ON tool and fix it? But I dont have custom recovery, wtf this is effing confusing...

Maybe I am wrong and it won't flash recovery with a non rooted ROM but I thought would because of s-off it should... Should of flashed the s on before u ran the ruu. It's signed with HTC keys and would of been fine.

Unrevoked S-On Tool
PC36IMG
◄●SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS●►
If you're comfortable with everything Android related(flashing, recovery, etc.) then its just 2 simple steps:
If you used Unrevoked Forever at any time, flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip from recovery until hboot shows S-ON
Flash the PC36IMG.zip from hboot
◄●DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS●►
If you need a little more guidance, follow these instructions.
◄●If you have used Unrevoked forever, start here●►
Make sure you have downloaded the files linked above. Do not extract them
Connect your phone to your computer via USB and change to "Disk Drive" by dragging down from the notification bar.
If you have NOT used Unrevoked Forever, skip to the instructions below. If you have, transfer unrevoked-forever-son.zip to the root of your sdcard. Do NOT transfer the PC36IMG yet. It'll only cause a hassle and make this take longer.
Once complete, power off the phone
reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY.
Depending on what recovery you're using, you need to flash a zip. Select the unrevoked-foreverson.zip that you just transferred and complete the flash.
When complete, power off the phone. Reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. If it says S-ON at the top, select RECOVERY and skip to step 9. If it says S-OFF, repeat steps 5-7 Until it does.
◄●If you have NEVER used Unrevoked forever, start here●►
Power off the phone and reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY.
Connect via USB. There is an option for this in both Amon RA and Clockwork.
Transfer the PC36IMG.zip to the root of your sdcard.
EJECT THE PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER and then turn off USB in Recovery
Power off the phone and reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen.
It should check the PC36IMG.zip and then ask you YES/NO to apply the update. Press VOL UP for YES
Once complete, Press VOL UP to reboot.
You are now unrooted!

Hi all,
Was attempting to root my desire HD and install CM7. Somehow, I managed to screw up the phone. I was using ACE so at some point I had root, and was able to flash different partitions (which is where I screwed up). Here are the facts:
1. Phone boot loops
2. There's no working recovery partition (I manually flashed that when I did have root), and a completely busted system partition
3. the phone is still S-ON (not sure how this stayed this way) - which means I can't fastboot
I tried downloading and installing the stock ROM, and it loaded, and installed - but then neither 'recovery' nor 'factory reset' do anything. Both still lead to boot loops...
From researching the web, I understand that:
1. If I don't have S-OFF - I can't fastboot, and even the PD98img.zip won't install
2. I can't get S-OFF without having a working system first (either via HTC's tools or some root'ing app).
Am I SOL, or does anyone have ideas of what I should try?
thx.
Blake

You haven't tried running an RUU yet? It restores your phone to factory state. Best way is to flash an RUU and start over with the Advanced Ace Hack Kit. I'm pretty sure you didn't read the manual properly and follow it word for word. By RUU I don't mean the PD98IMG.zip, I mean the exe file. Connect your phone to the computer and run the exe.

I tried - but i got the 'failed to communicate with your phone, make sure USB is connected and phone is in debug mode'...As I understand it, running the exe requires that phone to be in a working state. I only have hboot now...
Am I mistaken?
In hboot, press power on fastboot. When FASTBOOT shows up in a red background, then connect it to the computer and try running the RUU.
If that doesn't work download the htc sync (drivers). You need to switch of the antivirus before installing. The program will prompt you before.

Ok - I managed to get the right RUU from shipped-roms, and I used it to flash the ROM. It took a few mins, and then told me that it was successful.
However, I'm still stuck in a boot loop...
Any ideas?
Blake
Thanked you by mistake. Tell me, how long are you waiting after turning on the phone before considering it to be boot looping? For any ROM, the first boot always takes time. Not too long, but a few minutes. In that time it will just show the HTC splash screen. This happens because the dalvik-cache has to be built and the time it takes depends on the number of apps. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think you're assuming too soon that it's bootlooping. Wait for some time and see.

The phone boots, I see the white screen with the HTC logo, then a few seconds later, it reboots, and I get the same logo, and so on, and so forth...It just keeps on rebooting, even though the RUU worked.
thx.

Try booting without the sd card.

That seems to be a bad emmc chip. Many devices suffer from that.

This is not true. I have still S-ON (but unlocked via htcdev.com) and I can do fastboot, flash recovery etc. But flash works only from fastboot menu, not from running system or recovery mode.
