You can just flash the updated rooted OTA if you wish. You will have the same thing as everyone else that way, just not the radio and 4g and pri update that comes with it....
Unless you flash sprint lovers version (the all in one)
I personally have a launch day hw003 EVO and I was also already rooted via unrevoked. Unrevoked made an update to their unrevokedforever.zip that now supports the newest radio that comes with 3.70 so what I did was this
Download and flashed newest unrevokedforever.zip
used 3.29 RUU to revert phone back to stock but S-Off stayed on because of unrevoked forever
Accepted OTA update which updated my hboot to 2.10 as well as updated all my radios safely..
Then I insalled the custome version of Amon-Ra recovery meant to work with hboot 2.10
flashed the 3.70 base rom of my choice

Thanks lenny can you by chance help me step by step. My first smartphone don't want to completely screw it up

[Q] HBOOT .93??? Is it Possible to Downgrade ?

I downloaded the 2.2 leak and it updated my hboot to 0.93.0000
is there a possible way to downgrade the hboot or even get a stock rom back on the evo?
Sorry.....not at the moment...hang tight buddy.....sucks
I made the same mistake. I have a gut feeling root is going to take awhile to appear.
should be in q&a section by the way...
I'm getting an EVO for my wife today....depending on the hboot rev she gets, I may work on this exact issue today. I'll keep you updated.

Ug. I'm in the same boat. Stupid HTC leak.

What is your PRI version with that HBOOT version? (Look on the phone info/SW version screen.)

I'm in the same boat, my PRL is 1.34_003
currently no there is no way to change the hboot or root a 2,2 phone.
additionally please ask questions in the proper forum in the future(Q&A)
Thread moved to Q&A.
Just to clarify, I am fully rooted... Trying to find out if the 2.2 update opens a door to fix the 1.34 PRI issue.
You may not be completely hopeless. When the 1.47 OTA came out I downloaded and flashed a "rooted" version (it apparently wasn't because it broke my root and updated my Hboot to .93 also); however, it didn't get rid of Super User.
If you still have Super User on your phone, connect to adb shell, type "su" to enable super user and reflash the eng build. I would revert all the way back to the original stock and flash to 2.2 from there.
I'm not sure how effed you are, but maybe my stoke of bad/good/bad/good luck may help you out.
No pri change
i had the same problem. All i did was flash original radios and wimax update, then flashed a 2.1 stock rooted rom. RUU wont work and software updates wont install either. From here all you have to do is flash stock recovery image and then you should be able to do a software update on your evo and go back to stock.

Ivan, mind shedding a bit of light here and typing up a small tutorial of how you went about this step by step?
Thanks in advance,

And thats what happens when you install a ROM that is not ROOTED... why you didn't just install avalaunch rom? he release his the same time HTC had the leak.

[Q] Quick Question about restoring Recovery on 1.39.00.05.31

Hi,
I am Currently running a Evo with software version 1.39.00.05.31 I didn't take the 1.47 update. I rooted/iinstall custom recovery using Unrevoked3. I want to take the OTA 1.47 so I can then apply Unrevoked 4 ever and then upgrade to 2.2 and maintain root. I downloaded the 1.47 update and created a pc36img.zip file (Used it on another evo) However when I try to flash it, it doesn't work and say something about wrong version. Wondering if anyone has the recovery.img and android.txt from 1.39.00.05.31.
Also if I can't get recovery back can I use Clockwork to apply the update that was downloaded? I would rather not restore to stock and restore all my apps and such.
Thanks

Update the radio via recovery then install unrevokedforever. Or just install unrevokedforever lol
You know your on the very first release of software for the phone right? We are all on 2.2 froyo right now where have you been? I liked 2.1 myself but the fixes alone are worth the updates

Well I'm not sure why you would want to do it that way but if your already rooted using unrevoked 3 (Not Full Root)
Then you can simply Download and apply Rooted 2.1 1.47.651.1 Rom to it or even the 2.2 3.26.651.6 (Most Recent)
But if I was you I'd use Titanium Backup to keep all your data so incase you can't use any recovery in the process at least you can restore it to any Rooted Rom or unrooted.
But to make this much simpler you need to use SimpleRoot that has Nand Unlock Option, also called 3 step Root.
This is in regards to your issue with Main Version Older Error when you tried using (PC36IMG) in bootloader.
If your gonna use SimpleRoot Make sure you have all the files included in your SD Card Otherwise PC36IMG by it self won't work.
Hope this Helps

[Q] Unroot using 3.70 update

Hello I used Unrevoked 3.21 to root my evo. It flashed the Unrevoked Forever so i was S-OFF. I have already flashed the S-ON tool and I can confirm that I am S-ON. I want to become unrooted. Can I use the latest OTA (3.70) to become unrooted? I tried the "Unrooted in two steps method using the PC36IMG" but when I reboot into Recovery it checks the image and says that the image is wrong. Basically I wanted to know if I could unroot by installing the latest OTA. By the way I am not running any custom firmware, I am using the Htc Evo 4g Froyo update and my hardware version is 003. By the way if I can use the latest OTA can someone provide me with a link to the latest OTA. Thanks
If you're already s-off then you should be able too. Manually check for updates to download. If nothing shows up I'll find you a link.

Firmware Update when using Rooted Stock ROM safe?

I was trying out the rooted stock evo 4g ROM from this thread today: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038701
I believe this is a nono, but can I run the Firmware update when running that rooted ROM? Or will that reflash the OEM bootloader and set me back to S-On?
I am currently running cyanogem m7, but am trying to decide if I want to switch back to the htc sense based OEM ROM.
You know Xhausx has a newer thread with the newest Ota update rolled in right? Why wouldn't you just flash the newer ROM instead of accepting the official Ota which will turn you S-on with locked bootloader?
I was referring to a rooted version of the gingerbread OTA as shown in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038701
I flashed that deodexed ROM and it worked fine, I was just wondering if I could update radios's without overwriting my clockwork recovery if I ran a 'Update Firmware' from within that rooted OEM ROM.
I will take a look at Xhausx's post.
I assume this is the Xhausx thread you were talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110733
So I already have 4.22.651.2 from his post flashed, if I were to run 'Firmware Update' does that update just the radios, or does it update everything: the radios, the recovery, boot, and install the OTA gingerbread ROM?

Well it would definitely update your bootloader and I believe radios as well if it actually let you flash it. I believe when you run Unrevoked forever it runs a script to block flashing of OTA's anyways though. But yeah, the 4.24 ROMs are based off the newest update. Flash the radio combos separately after downloading them as well.

Help!!! Any way to downgrade radio from 2.15 to 2.05

First let me apologize if this has been answered before, but I could not find my specific question nor answer.
I am on baseband 2.15 and am trying to downgrade to 2.05. When I try to flash the radio in zip format, I get an error stating that my os is to new and that everything after 1.5 will not be able to flash this specific radio. This is not the same as downgrading from 2.15.x.x to a lower 2.15x.x. So please don't point me to this type of example.
Does anyone know, step by step, how to get this done?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: hboot 0.97
Radio 2.15.00.09.01
S-off
Rooted via unrevoked forever
Newer versions of the stock ROM may not work well or at all with older radios.
You may need to rollback to 2.2 to use the older 2.xx radios. 2.05.00.06.10 came out with the 2.2 froyo rollout. The newer gingersense ROMs probably can't be used with such an old radio.
Why do you need to roll back to 2.05 anyway?

Need to get my radio to a point where the nvm is writable.
Edit: update, got the radio to downgrade by using rom manager with clockwork recovery 2.5.0.7 and flashed radio update.zip
It was an amend error. An old version of Clockwork - as you did - or Amon Ra would be needed to flash it. Next time you flash radios (or anything that gives you that error) you'll either have to find an edify version or downgrade/switch recovery again.
