Here is the RUU for 3.26.651.6
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A9AI5RM9
Ok, I have had my Evo for a while and have had it rooted with NAND unlocked and eng bootloader running cyanogenmod nightly builds. That is until yesterday when I got all willy nilly about trying to go to the stock froyo ota.
So this is a description of my willy nilly as far as I remember.
I figured I had to downgrade to 651.1 so that I could apply the incremental update so I followed an unroot back to stock tutorial and reflashed with this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915
But when I tried to get the update and apply it, it failed on signature.
So I tried to follow this guide. So now I am trying to downgrade with RUU method and HTC sync.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743192
This keeps on failing even after several tries but eventually I boot back up to the rom (651.1) and the signature works and I get upgraded to 2.2!
Yay, so now I am at 2.2 with a different (locked) bootloader that comes with this OTA update. I also have stock recovery and no root now. But I also have SU app that I cant remove and some stuff just gets wonky. Like when I try to update google maps, the phone just reboots.
So what do I want?
I want some signed way of just loading the full update 651.6 without root and using the stock recovery. Or maybe an RUU file for this update that will just get me to stock froyo, no SU app none of it.
See the rom I upgraded from probably was modified more than I thought it was and thats why I am having issues.

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

Hey guys my phone is all updated with the new OTA and the new PRI and stuff too. I was just curious as to which file I need to run from shipped roms to unroot, I need to take it in to Sprint for various reasons. And also do you know if I unroot if I will be able to root again after things get resolved with the new OTA being released? UnRevoked or the Regaw method?
If you rooted with Unrevoked Forever, run S-Off, then run the latest RUU.
If you rooted with regular unrevoked or toastch, just run the latest RUU.
RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.40_release_140444_signed.exe
or.....
RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.71_003_release_147044_signed.exe
I realize the 2nd is the latest one but would it hurt to flash with the first one.. I want to make sure I can root again after they look at my phone or if they give me a new one that I can root it..
Flashed S-On from Unrevoked and then the 1st RUU ran flawless. Thanks again now i just hope that I will be able to obtain root again.
Hello there, I have DHD 2.2 stock HTC in with root. My phone is radio s-off and installed custom recovery.
Today I recived OTA update 2.3, I was told that having root phone prevent OTA update. However, I have it now and I don't know if I have to update or not.
Will I lose the root, s-off and custom recovery if I update?
Will I be able to root again and install custom recovery?
Having root prevents you from actually installing the Ota's. Since your stock rooted the phone will still notify you of updates(unless the Dev desables it). So if you would try to install it it would t work and most likely you'll get stuck screen with the exclamation point I believe.
If you want to update you will need to ruu up to 2.3, then you can reroot with gingerbreak. This method will erase everything so make sure to backup
Here's the link to the 2.3 ruu that you run from your computer. Thanks goes to andyharney for the link.

Thanx for explanation, but I believes using RUU will return the phone s-on and remove the custom recovery. Is this correct?
The ruu will keep you s-off. It will delete the recovery but after you root using gingerbreak, you can reinstall it through rom manager

Hi! I might jump into this thread because I have exactly the same situation (except I am not running a custom recovery) but I have a big issue.
The micro usb port on my DHD does not work anymore. I've put off getting it repaired as I have 4 spare batteries and 2 chargers, so I've been able to get by.
Can I still RUU, then Gingerbreak without using the micro usb port?
Cheers!
One other thing - I have the Australian DHD - I did not see a listing for an Australian RUU - Would I need to go find one or could I potentially use a WWE?
What about un-root my 2.2 using visonary then install 2.3 with OTA after that root it with gengerbrake? Is this good plan? Will this remove recovery and s-off?
@RaindancerAU:
Well, RUU needs the USB port. You could try copying a .zip file to the root of your sdcard, then go into Bootloader and update it through there.
(You can get the .zip file from the RUU by opening the RUU.exe file and press 'Next' untill you reach the 'Checking device' - or something like that - part. Then just press - 'Windows key + r' - type %temp% and search the folders for a .zip file called ROM.)
As for you other question. If your phone is branded to a specific carrier, then using the carrier-specific RUU is recommended. If your phone isnt branded, ... , WWE is fine!

Gingerbreak requires S-OFF. By OTA'ing' S-OFF will still remain, but recovery will be replaced with the originnal HTC recovery.
So if you had S-OFF before updating, then Gingerbreak will work, hopefully

I have a similar scenario.
my phone came with 2.2 and I used the advanced ace hack kit and it successfully rooted, s-off'ed and have the ace hack kit recovery.
When I checked for updates, I was surprised it did prompt me for the OTA 2.3 update.
I am tempted to install it but I am not sure if it will unroot my phone and remove the recovery and if it does, then how do I get it rooted again and have rom manager recovery?
I am with Three Australia and I was hoping someone else had done this before and would like to share their experience with us.
Since your rooted the Ota's will fail to Install. If you want to stay stock I would just flash a prerooted version.
Personally though you should give custom roms a try and enter the fun
I have used an Ice Cold Sandwich custom rom and I loved it on my old DHD but this new one which I got as a replacement came with Froyo and for some odd reason, the WiFi is not working correctly. It connects but nothing get sent or received. I'm not quite sure if its the aahk that caused or it was an issue since I got it as I don't recall using WiFi on it before running aahk on it.
So I was hoping I could install this ota and check if it gets fixed, otherwise I will take it back to 3 so they can have a look and it would look like I have done nothing to it.
Hope this makes sense.
I'm really worried about applying this ota. I have taken a backup but would I get the chance to restore it if the ota update fail to install as you are saying?

You could restore, but the Ota's wont install at all. You'll get stuck on the screen with an exclamation point,and you'll need to pull the battery to reboot the phone.
What you could do is flash an ruu/pd98img of the stock rom to check the wifi issue. This way will get rid of root and cwr but its easily reattainable
I would not lose anything if I attempt it and fail? Just pull the battery out and I am back in business?
I will update to the latest ruu (Hutch AUS 3.12.861.2 PD9810000) from htc dev page but this will unroot the phone and remove cwr and put htc recovery. And then you want me to run the OTA update?
Just curious how easy it will be to root it and install cwr after I apply the ruu above.

First two questions correct. But their is really no point in attempting it unless out pure curiosity to see if fail.
If you flash the ruu, no need to apply the Ota's as the ruu is probably The Ota's its asking you to install.
Because you will still be soff even after the ruu, you could just install cwr via a pd98img. Then install a rom or backup. And even if you were son the hack kit would still be able to root your phone
I was as curious as a cat and you were spot on. It did fail.
The RUU I was referring to was from the htcdev page which is only 5.9MB and it's mainly to update hboot.
What I ended up doing last night was to apply this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843998 and the OTA still failed.
I guess it failed and when I checked, I still had cwr and hence why it failed.
I checked to see if I still had root and it was not. I was able to install superuser and this was all I needed to get root again. I did not think it was this easy.
I then ended up applying IceColdSandwich 4.0.0 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450962
I am going tonight to apply 4.1.1 which only got released today.
I have a question about pd98img. what things can I install using this method? Can I packages apk files and name the file this and it will auto install when I hboot?
Pd98imgs are used to flash a radio, a recovery, and a bootsplash(image before you see the bootanimation)
You can have zips that install apps for you. Those are flashed in recovery. I know icecoldsandwich has a overlay script to do that aswell when flashing that rom. You would just have to place your apks in the specified folder.(I believe its data/app/apks)
Hi there, I'm just going to get to the point. I want to unroot and revert to stock, however, as I've researched, I'm just slightly confused. I know there's a million threads but I can't seem to find a straight answer.
What I have:
hboot .76
radio 2.15.00.05.02
PRI 2.15
I rooted using some kind of flash exploit when the evo was still newish (summer 2010).
I've looked into using revolutionary's unroot option, but i'm unsure if that's the best way. If it is, after I get S-on can I go ahead and flash the latest official rom and radio package via recovery? If not, what's my best option?
Thanks.
Since you have Hboot 0.76 and rooted with some kind of flash exploit method (It was either Toast Method or Simple Root, which is Toast Method inside a program), you just need to run any official HTC PC36IMG.zip file or RUU and your phone will be unrooted with S-ON. However, since you want the latest radio package, you should probably run the latest RUU or PC36IMG file from HTC.
that simple? Thats a relief then. Thanks
