How to uninstall unrevoked root and recovery reflash tool so I can get OTA update?

I would like to get the OTA update that comes out this days , but I cannot do that because the unrevoked block this option for me. when i try to update it wrote that my system is up tp date. Are there directions somewhere on how to do this for the unrevoked3 setup? Thanks.

Try this. You're either condition 3 or condition 4. Very easy to do, you don't need to remove unrevoked forever (and if you want to keep root access you shouldn't.) to update to the official 2.2. Just use the official 2.2 RUU that's floating around on the boards.

wow it look to complicated to me...
is ther any chance that the unrevoked team will publish a patch for that that will install the 2.2 on the 2/1 unrevoked?
on any other One klick solition?

Help
Hey there to anyone who reads this post. I am stuck going crazy tonight. Long story made as short as possible. I am trying to down grade but none of the video's are working for me. I followed the youtube video to gain root access to my incredible however I guess I dont have clockwork which is necessary for me to go back to 2.1 so I can get everything right. Is there anyway to fix this so I can start over from scratch? My AIM is reddawn1563 and my email is [email protected] someone please help me. THanks Pat

This may sound stupid but why do people want to downgrade. You can upgrade to the official 2.2 right now with a rooted device. Whats the difference?

My problem is that I cannot get the clockwork recovery thing to work so I cant load any other roms or anything like that

Just load a 2.2 Rom and the updated radio, then you have everything the ota update provides and no hassle. It's literally the same thing.

[Q] What exactly is meant by 'run the RUU'?

This phrase seems to be one of those everyone knows...well except me. What the heck are the EXACT steps to running an RUU?
I am in fastboot with usb showing...then I attempt to double click on the file on my desktop and get an error about it not being a win32 file. Seriously have searched google for hours and the search here is down.
Anyone got the steps to do this?

RUU = Rom Update Utility
http://www.htc.com/uploadedFiles/Common/Software_Download/Detailed_RUU_Instructions_09232009.pdf
Well if this is all you don't know, you are way ahead of me, sheez.
Now root, get nand unlock, install new custom recovery, new PRI, new radio and Burnt 1.2 and you will be good to go, laughing...

An RUU is a Rom Update Utility. It is a program that you run on your desktop that flashes a new ROM image on your phone. So the phrase "run an RUU" literally means to run an RUU. They are version specific. Meaning it is not a program that can flash any ROM for you. There is a different RUU for every OS version.
What file are you clicking on on your desktop that's giving you an error?

I am not quite sure what you are trying to do, but I do have a suggestion. Take a look at regaw_leinad thread on [GUIDE] How to root Android 2.2 on the EVO 4G. He put this out way before unRevoked 3.21. BTW: This was the method I used to root my 2.2 EVO, worked like a charm. Anyway, it's not about the process he used to root an EVO, it's more about all the steps and what does what that you learn going through the process. May help you achieve whatever it is you are trying to do.
Good Luck

I am already rooted and running a rooted version of 1.47. I have a file called...RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459.exe.
This was in an attempt to try to get a 'more' stock version of 1.47 on my phone so that then I could accept the OTA.
I have all of the sdk loaded and yes I have that fastboot in same folder as the adb...(if that means anything.)
When the first 2.2 rolled out many many people with rooted phones accepted the OTA and lost root. So I know it is possible to load the OTA when you have a rooted phone but for some reason I am getting an error. (In another thread, but it is an apply patch error?)
So again....does running a RUU mean...1)You boot to recovery, 2) You go to fastboot, 3) You plug in USB, 4) After you see Fastboot USB (and phone shows up in device manager) you double click the RUU
Is that the process?

Since I didn't see it mentioned. But when you run the RUU, you lose root. If you want to run a "closer to stock" ROM then download SteelH's ROM, and flash that through Recovery.

No, running a RUU is running a PROGRAM that does the update for you. Run the RUU right now without connecting your phone, it will tell you the steps.
Don't even worry about accepting the OTA. Flash this PC36IMG file and it will bring you completely current.

Hmmm...ok. Metalhead, I'll re-read your post when I get home and probably go in that direction.
Debugguy, that document was pretty good at showing me what I should be seeing, but now I am wondering if the file I got was a windows file or not...because it doesn't do that at all.
Thanks ya'll.

Something that may help, go to the unRevoked web site, some really good "back to stock" info here, may
give you some ideas.
go here: http://www.unrevoked.com/#evo
select (1) unrevoked3, then more
select (2) unrevoked Forever, then more

Stuck on the rooting process with a 2.1 OS

Okay, I'm attempting to gain root access, basically I followed
# Arrow# [GUIDE] How to root Android 2.2 on the EVO 4G
I flashed my phone back to the 2.1 froyo version, but now I am stuck, when I reboot my phone with unrevoked it automatically selects the first option HBOOT with no input from me.
I THINK this may have to do with the fact that I can't get the HBOOT driver's installed. I can't find where the driver's should be installed when rebooted. So now I'm stuck on FROYO 2.1, with no root access. I know that getting to 2.1 is the hardest part of root, but I need to know how to get the phone rooted. Please if anyone can post info, or has had a similar problem please post here if you can help me.

Did your phone originally have 3.30 on it? If so, you need to flash the leaked 3.30 rom back, then follow the instructions about how to turn S-OFF with hboot 2.02.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828437

Where can I find instructions on flashing 3.3 I'm not even sure how I flashed 2.1

bump, if no one can help me get my phone rooted, can you at least let me know how to get it back to normal, so I have the built-in flashlight app etc.

i never thought i would need help with rooting, but i have the same problem. i have boot .97. which should make it easy. i am stock 2.1 and i am trying to flash a pc36img.zip but it simply wont load. it goes all the way to checking, and dumps me back at the hboot. no idea what i am doing wrong. i will try some troubleshooting now. ?!?!

edit i now have .79. trying to flash rooted pc... holding 3.29 now. wish me luck

same problem. goes from checking straight back to hboot. no idea at all.

[Q] Incredible Froyo Issue - updated from rooted device

I have an HTC Incredible that i ran the first unrevoked2 update to get root on my device, then unrevoked3 to get s-off. I then was pushed the 2.2 OTA update, which when done through the phone fail. So, like an idiot of course, I ran the update.zip from clockworkmod and now my device is acting all strange (practically bricked).
After the update, the 'droid' eye loads, then goes to a white HTC page where a small dialogue box goes from 0 to 95% then reboots, repeatedly, until I interrupt this via a battery pull. I then get into my phone, but the camera, sdcard, wifi, etc are not recognized. Eventually I get a force close prompt for 'system' which I can wait or force close, either choice, my device will reboot at max 5 minutes.
I have the following showing at HBOOT
Incredible XC Ship S-ON (i ran the s-on update now)
HBOOT-0.77.0000
...
RADIO-2.15.00.07.28
I'd like to get my phone either running Froyo, or back to the stock ROM, and am in need of help. I've ran several PB31IMG.zip files located through numerous guides and dozens of searches to try and get back to stock, but I either get 'update failed' because of some kind of version check, or the update doesn't work (maybe now because I'm s-on?).
I'm in sad need of help, I found another thread where someone else was in my similar situation on another forum but its old, no one is responding, and the update worked for them and not myself. I'd really appreciate it if someone would walk me through un-screwing my device if possible. Much appreciated.

alright well if i was you i would do this.
turn security back off (s-off)
grab the PB31IMG.zip for 2.2 froyo/ or if you want the ota again grab the 2.1
then it should work fine. but i also see the your hboot is not up to date for froyo so maybe find the PB31IMG.zip for 0.92 hboot. i dont have any idea about where it is located but i have the file for 2.2. but alas, i dont have a place to upload it soo yeeaaah. anyway that is what my first choice would be. choose to follow or not.
p.s. i know i say but alot haha

BTW yes, PB31IMG's wont work because you are s-on. and the ota probably did not work because you had clockworkmod recovery instead of stock recovery. thats all i got for ya. hope my terrible explanations help

Well, this might be more promising.
I did notice that my HBOOT was quite out of date, so amongst all of the files I've downloaded, I'm pretty sure the one that might have done it for me was the RUU update file. I of course re-ran the s-off update from unrevoked-forever, then started hacking away at the RUU update. I downloaded the RUU update from Google, ran it, copied the rom.zip file from the temporary files location, renamed it to PB31IMG.zip, copied it to the root, and then poof, noticed the HBOOT was updated (looks like this could have been the root problem).
Needless to say, i'm back to setting up my device (raw), hope that I can still get to root on my device; but at least I'm back to an operating phone!

OK
Looks like I'm at HBOOT-0.92.0000 with IncredibleC XC ship S-OFF still; RADIO-2.15.00.07.28.
Doesn't look like I have a recovery mode (clockworkmod).
I'm guessing if I'm going to root my device I'll need to re-install clockworkmod? Thanks for any future help.

so you still have the reboot thing, going on

No, my device is unbricked (so to speak). Since updating using the full RUU it successfully re-flashed everything. Only problem I have to fix now is rooting my device again.

Well I guess I have my work cut out for me searching how to get my s-off phone rooted again. Anyone got a suggestion?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

if your phone is s-off then search around for a custom recovery in the pb31img format. flash in bootloader, reboot into recovery and flash the rooted rom of your choice.

So my fix was:
1. Ensure phone is already rooted and S-OFF
2. download RUU_Incredible_C_Froyo_VERIZON_WWE_3.21.605.1_Radio_2.15.00.07.28.exe
3. Run the RUU file
4. Go to my temporary files location, sort by date, and look for the rom.zip file
5. copy that file off someplace else and rename it PB31IMG.zip, cancel RUU Update program
6. Copy PB31IMG.zip to the root of the SD Card
7. Boot my device holding volume down (HBOOT)
8. Allow the update to proceed (will reboot phone almost immediately to update HBOOT from 0.77 to 0.92)
9. Once update was completed, phone reboots final time after prompt
10. Setup phone again (RUU Update is a clean flash)
Still looking out for better instructions on how to re-root my device other than a manual one, but if I must then I must =) Was hoping that I could use unrevoked3, but the last push didn't work out.

you have to do it manually cause unrevoked doest work on newest ota

I can help you reroot if you need it. Im glad you have everythig else worked out though. Congratulations!

So that PB31IMG.zip (renamed) will re-install the most recent clockworkmod recovery? I saw some other post which also had a 'payload-update.zip' and a 'su-2.3.2.1-ef-signed.zip' file ... not sure if I'm missing something.
Also, according to their latest release (their = unrevoked), http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked3 - This supposedly works with all versions of supported phones. Of course, when I go to http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked2 it says that unrevoked3 doesn't work with stock Android 2.2 phones... which I'm guessing might be my condition since I had to flash the rom.zip file from RUU_Incredible_C_Froyo_VERIZON_WWE_3.21.605.1_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_2k4k_NV_1.50_PRL58006_release_143351_signed.exe that I got from google.
Some clarification would be appreciated.

Looks like I'm back to root. Ran the PB31IMG.zip that was about 2.86mb, then payload-update.zip and the Su zip (anyone know where the most recent one is? Says there is an update).
Now to test WiFi tether again, see if I still need that evo driver still.

You don't need the payload and stuff. After s-off all you need is the clockworkmod PB31IMG.zip to get root back

The wifi tether has nothig to do with root. On some roms or just sometimes it wont work.

I Have a Question, Would it be Possible to Root the Phone With a Update.zip From Android Recovery, Where it Says (Install From Update.zip)? Either That or Turn S-Off, Or Install Su, Clockwork Recovery...... Something? If Someone Can Help Please Do!! Or If Someone Can Try to Sign a Update.zip For Me With S-Off in it!! (Unrevoked.4Ever) I'd Loveto Find a Easier way that can be Done WITHOUT CONNECTING TO A (USB) PORT PC!!

Technically no. Because rooting your device is getting rid of the stock recovery so you can install rims and whatnot. But you can root through hboot easily with s-off or with s-on use unrevoked.

So I'm wondering if the payload-update.zip was damaging in some way.
In any event, now I'm constantly being nagged about another 17.7mb update from Verizon which of course, like the Android 2.2 update, won't apply via the usual system update message.
I don't know where I can find this file, but it says this:
---
Android Update
Downloaded and verified 17.7 MB
This software update includes the installation of V CAST Apps, Slacker, and many other improvements for your DRIOD Incredible by HTC. ... blah blah blah ...
---
I don't know if this is the infamous 'November' update or not. I know that I updated my rom from the RUU file downloaded from dl.google.com, so its possible that I don't have this patching. Some clarification on what this download is, where I can find it (online or my phone), and if it is possible to apply this update and how (so I don't keep getting annoyed with it).

[Q] Updating an Unrevoked Desire

Hi guys, I'm confused.
I have a stock HTC Desire on Orange with 2.10.405.2. I've been having problems with the radio (losing data connectivity but not showing it, text messages being delayed for hours, etc) and decided to root it with Unrevoked and put a new radio and RIL pack on. Well, I did that OK (although the connectivity problems persist).
The trouble is that now there's an OTA update to 2.29.405.2, which I would quite like to try out. When I tried to run it, Clockwork Recovery gave a signature check error.
Could someone explain how to fix this? I don't mind losing root, but I would very much prefer to run an update rather than flash a rom and lose everything on the phone! A clear description of what's going on would be appreciated, cheers!

I'm pretty sure, running the OTA would brick your phone,thats why it wont go through, what you need to do it, flash an Stock rom on your phone, then do OTA
Read the Wiki or Ask in the Desire forum for more help

Oh my, this reply came in just after I had managed to start an update (by moving/renaming the update file to update.zip in the root directory and using clockwork recovery). And as I read the update, the phone had been on the HTC splash screen for quite some time...
I almost had a heart attack.
But it's booted now The update failed due to not having enough free memory.
I suppose I'll just have to back up what I can and flash the stock rom. It's really annoying that rooting the phone in order to give me more flexibility has taken away the option to update painlessly.... That is, unless someone can point me towards a rooted update file?
Oh, the radio I updated to was Radio Froyo 5.11.05.27 (I flashed the RIL zip file separately), I am not sure how much that could affect things.

too bad that my phone had enough memory and now I'm trying to flash a stock rom.
The 1st one I tried was 2.09, and it failed saying kind of "invalid ruu version".
Now downloading 2.29.....
