Came from the Droid and pretty much owned that phone up and down, but Evo is a different bird. I did the simple Unrevoked root method to run some of my root apps...question is, how do I unroot after using this method? Very much appreciated in advance. I am new to this particular forum, came from Droidforums.net, but always kept an eye on things over here.
thanks again,
Alan

Well first you uninstall the unrevoked app then you restart the device and you're done.
Appreciate it guys...I hate having such a noob question on my first post
when you guys say "restart" you don't just mean holding down the power button until the phone asks you if you want to turn it off do you? you mean a full, data wiping, hard-reset right?

where do i uninstall the unrevoked app at? p.s. i just rooted my dinc with unrevoked 3
How do you un-root from unrEVOked3?
If it is the same as the first unrevoked, you just have to install the APK.
If it has changed ( i used Simple Root to get root & real NAND unlock ) then it's the same as unrooting any other root or unlock: Run the official RUU.

Going into settings under manage applications there should be an unrevoked app that you can uninstall.
just for future reference, this post should go into the Q&A section.

Hey I rooted w/unrevoked3 and it's diff from the unrevoked.APK
I was wondering can I just go ahead and do a simple root or another full root method over unrevoked or any other root method ?...or do I have do use an RUU then do another root method, see unrevoked3 doesn't have nand unlock or something so I cannot put damage control 3.2.2 on tit,

you are all wrong! If you are talking about the one button mobile app, carry on with your rebooting. If you are talking about unrevoked 3.2.1, you are on the wrong ship, and your ship is sinking fast. Pm me for questions on unrooting 3.2.1

can u tell please, how to unroot 3.2.1 ??
to unroot 3.2.1, you need to flash toast's mtd-eng.img to the misc partition, before flashing unrevokedforevers-on.zip tool, and then either run an ruu or flash stock pc36img.zip. be happy. if this is too confusing, go to toast's how to root part two and do up to the flashing misc with mtd-eng.img ( code that you stop after is /data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img) then you flash the s-on tool from the unrevoked website and flash to stock or run ruu.
dk
where do i get the latest RUU???
go to shippedroms.com. Those are ruu files
For 3.2.1
Try reading the FAQ's here http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
Flash S-On and restore using the RUU.

Hi..
The howto for permissions root on froyo, recovery and Cyanogen?
thanks
firstly answer these questions.
1)how old is your handset?
i need to know this becuase i doubt you remember what hboot version it was before you updated to the fro-yo update.
2)you will need to downgrade. using this method regardless.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750852
once you have flashed PB99IMG.zip and if you get a picture then you dont need to continue with the procedure. if you do not get a picture, you continue with instructions.
once you have done that you will need to root.
root using unrevoked method. www.unrevoked.com.
if you have a SLCD screen the link in 2) will be have full instructions on this.
once you have flashed unrevoked and are in the custom recovery you can flash any zip.
so you can put cyanogen port for desire onto the SD card and flash that in the recovery screen.
thanks.. but I lose the guarantee???

you will lose warranty if you flash anything unofficial to you're phone.
again can you answer the questions above
also what network you are on and things like that. because you may be able to flash OFFICIAL RUU of your network back on after running cyanogen to get back to factory setting

Hi Guys,
I have a quick one...
I rooted by DInc using Unrevoked3, with the S-ON option. I had the original Eclair build on, I updated to Froyo and then used the tool to root, and install Clockwork Recovery...
Now, I am learning that with the S-ON option, there are far too many limitations on customization of the phone. I have had various custom ROMs on the phone, since the root, and now I am wonder, basically how to get to the same exact place, with the S-OFF?
Should I just run the Unrevoked3 flash program on my phone again, with the Security disabled this time, and then just use Nandroid to restore one of my ROMs I currently have running?
Can someone please confirm this process, step by step for me? I don't want to brick my phone....
Any help is appreciated guys, thank you!
Just run unrevoked again, this time with s-off, i don't believe re-rooting when you are already rooted will cause a brick. You don't even have to reinstall the rom.

Hi guys.
Hoping you can help me.
I rooted my DHD some time ago, with help from this forum, and was running the RCmix3D rom.
Well I have upgraded to an HTC One X, and a friend would like to buy my DHD, so. I thought I’d factory reset the phone.
Before I did that though I did a nandroid backup through CWM recovery.
After the nandroid backup, I rebooted into the ROM, factory reset the phone, however it then just booted through the White HTC screen into a black screen with the word ‘android’ in the middle.
Now, I didn’t panic, and I left the black screen for a while, but it didn’t change for ages.
So I pulled the battery, went back into CWM Recovery, and tried to restore, however, the restore didn’t take!
So I thought I’d just download another ROM, and flash that, but THAT hasn’t worked!!!
So I’m stuck without a backup and without a ROM,
I got the DHD on day of release so I guess it had Froyo on it!
Can I just download an RUU for this device and run that or are there additional steps that I would need to perform before that?
Thank you in advance.
Greg.

Greg, Factory reset only works when you are stock. As you were running a custom rom, you have just deleted the rom from your phone. You will need to flash a RUU to revert it to stock.
I don't actually know why you couldm´t flash a custom rom, but it should work as long as you are S-OFF.

Cheers Brother.
The reason is that I'm not sure the new user would be ok with teh extra finctionality, and I'd worry they much it up (Much like I have done)
I still con't quite understand why it wouldnt flash a new ROM though
Ok.
When flashing an RUU, can I do that from the boot loader?
cheers for yor help.

Yes, you have two choices, or do it in the PD98IMG.zip way or flash it in fastboot. If you are S-OFF, you can flash any RUU, but I suggest and unbranded one. Don't flash a Froyo RUU or you will be in troubles.
On how to flash a RUU from fastboot, check the guide in my signature....:good:
Ok dude. I hear you.
Could you give a brief explanation on why the Froyo RUU would be bad?

If you are using a Gingerbread hboot and flash a froyo RUU then your hboot will work in super slow motion and might take half an hour to boot. And belive me fixing that is not easy nor fun...
Were you able to flash a ruu??
Hey dude.
Not tried yet, munching dinner and watching some Sons of Anarchy at the moment.
Will let you know ow how it goes though.

Hey dude.
Another few questions,
1) How do I know if I am using a GB hboot? Would a new hboot have been written when the GB OTA update came?
2) How can I tell whuch RUU is a GB RUU without the name being in the title of the RUU?
I.e. RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.zip
Thank you again.
Greg.
Oh, and I think I have found out why I can't flash a different ROM like ARHD, I'm using CWM recovery, the instructions for ARHD state that you are only to use EXT4 recovery.
Bum!

That shouldn't be the issue. Anyway, try flashing a Ruu And see what happens. I will find an unbranded one one that works for You. Try this one And report back.

Do I need to rename the file to just "PD98IMG.zip" and drop the "-GB2" ?

Yep.
I needed to rename it.

I really don't understand in all of that, but I just went through a very long process of rooting my phone etc.
and one of the million things I stumbled upon was this time I flashed a rom using CWM and the rom was corrupted..
I was thankful that CWM had the option to connect the phone via usb storage, [hard drive thing, so you could transfer files from comp to dhd]
So I just downloaded the rom again and placed it on the phone and flashed it using CWM.
I guess it might help you since you have CWM [and if you have CWM I guess you're rooted?] so you might try flashing a non-stock rom.
But I'm not deep into this stuff and don't really know, so you can try but I'm not sure it'll work.

Hi all, I have a Incredible 2 that I just took out to see what I can do with it. I want to sim unlock it for international use but so far it has not been working the way I wanted Right now it is S-off, HBOOT 6.13.1002 with radio 1.09.01.0622. I am currently on Incredible 2 HD rls 1.1 and I inserted a att sim and it still said no service. I went to change it to gsm only and rebooted and it still say no service. I heard that there's a gsm patch but it's for version 4.02 of this rom and it was recommended not to flash with the 1.1 release. I also do have a unlock code from verizon but I do not know how to revert back to the stock rom and keep s-off. Would someone help me please? Thank you so much!
Edit for more information:
The phone now is not using verizon, I did get the carrier unlock code from verizon but I do not know how to enter it because I'm not on stock rom. Also putting in a t-mobile sim or a att sim didn't pop up a sim unlock code for me to enter in If I am missing anymore information please let me know so you guys can help me out! Thank you.
If you can find a copy of skyraider, use that. It's based on stock, so it can be unlocked.

Never mind, is this it? http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8577-romgb-skyraider-zeus-13-inc2-4086053/page__st__40 Also something seems to be wrong with my phone, it can never connect to google market! I wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache before all rom. Is there anyway I can set this phone back to complete stock from verizon? Like wipe everything and starts fresh? No matter what rom I tried it just won't connect to google market or make any sim work.
What is the best way to go back to complete stock while still keeping s-off, and unlock bootloader? If I can't then I do not mind going back to the latest stock recovery for this phone, as long as I can sim unlock fine! Thanks for your help!

From the OP in the first link:

Re-obtaining root is easy if you still have s-off.

After you run the PG32IMG or whatever it is called, take it off your sd card, or rename it. Otherwise it will try to run every time your phone passes the bootloader. You don't want that to happen.
I don't have an actual sd card... I think I will just put it into the internal memory and use recovery to install the zip right? Or do I just put it on there, reboot and it will automaticaly start installing?

I don't think it will run from internal memory, and you don't use recovery for this one.

If you have an Incredible 2...take off the back cover, it is just below and to the left of the battery. It's microsd. You can't do much without it since the internal memory is about 1gb total.

Alright, I have successfuly restored it to stock but I am now unrooted and on 2.3.4 so how would I root this baby and put clockwork mod recovery touch or 4ext touch and start installing roms that will work for GSM such as the incredible hd release 1.1 or the virtuousaffinity? AndroidICS or something like that I heard is also GSM compatible.
s-off is still there and I still have the revolutionary info in hboot but just not rooted and no recovery installed

You need to follow the root instructions for installing recovery, then flash a superuser zip in that new recovery. I don't have all the links or the downloads, but that should be enough info to get you there.
Edit:
Also, you may have to sim unlock it before doing anything else I'm not familiar with that since I'm on big red, so search around and maybe someone with better knowledge will answer here.
I have just sim unlocked it but since it's 2.3.4 it looks like I have to ues the htc dev unlock to root? Or is there a one click tool to use since I'm already s-off?

No dev unlock needed, just install recovery and flash superuser.
