Need to go from AmonRa to Stock Recovery

So, here's where i'm at now after this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732505
I still cannot use any usb functionality other than charging, and i'm running unrooted OTA1.47 now.
I'm at the point where i'm needing to get the AmonRa recovery off and the factory recovery back in place, but i can't find out how to do it.
I see a few posts that say to run the ruu, but that involves running the exe while the phone is connected to a windows workstation through usb. With no USB functionality, i'm kind of at a loss on how to proceed.
Any assistance or direction pointing would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Fixed it.
Using the RUU for 1.47 worked.
I had to open it, then on the first page select "View Readme", then "Save As" for the read me to figure out what directory the temp files went to and what they were named. Looked for rom.zip, copied to my sd card as PC36img.zip. After that, powered on using Power Button and Down volume and let the phone do the rest.
Grabbed the RUU link from here: http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/

If you have a card reader/adapter, use your sdcard with the reader and plug it into your pc. Download and move the zip to the card, more specifically the PC36IMG.zip file. Pu the sdcard back in to your phone. Hold Vol up and power the phone, and let it load the zip file.

Isn't that still a rooted rom?
I actually loaded a 1.47 stock rom, using the PC36IMG.zip way of doing it. It didn't return me to the factory screen after selecting Recovery, and still loaded the AmonRa one.
I'll try that with that specific file next. I'm downloading RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed.exe right now to try and extract the factory rom and try that way.

Bump. Still haven't found a way.

When you hold volume down and press power, before you select recovery check on the top and see what version of hboot you have. If you have .76 that means you unlocked the nand and from my understanding this is not reversible yet.

.79 right now i believe.

All you would need then is a copy of the stock recovery and flash it and that will replace AmonRA. I may have been wrong about un-rooting after unlocking nand. Check out this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6783326

I went through that one, downloaded the ruu, ran it, browsed to my temp files for the zip image, put it on the phone, and received the "older version" error when it tried to read and flash it via renaming it to PC36img.zip
I'm trying to find the 1.47 RUU to try those same steps, but haven't had much luck.
Of course, i'm trying to work and browse the forum at the same time, might not be the best plan. lol

Just found it.
Downloading the 1.47 RUU now. Hopefully this can take care of putting the recovery back to oem.

Good luck and please post results. I am interested in this as well in case I ever have to do it for insurance purposes.

[Q] Does anyone have/know where to get the stock sense rom for an htc evo?

My phone is currently running the fresh rom and i want to return it to stock sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=shipped+roms

im not sure if this is a bad question or not
which one of the links exactly do i need to go back to stock sense? thanks again.

What hardware version do you have and what version of stock rom came on your phone?
Try this one first. Download it and rename it by deleting everything but PC36IMG. Put the PC36IMG on the root of your sdcard. Power off your phone, then boot into bootloader by pressing volume down and power at the same time and hold it until a screen pops up. It will scan your sd card for PC36IMG and when it finds it, it will verify. It will ask if you want to install the update and choose yes. Let it do it's thing then when it asks you to reboot choose yes and you will be back at stock. DO NOT INTERUPPT THE PROCESS OF THE UPDATE. Sometimes it will reboot during the update and this is normal. Let it finish. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MUSAURP7

I had the latest update
with swype and everything installed. when i go back to stock will i be able to recieve android updates again, lets say if they update the evo to 2.3 would my phone receive the update?

Yes. That link is the latest stock update with swype and everything. Pure stock. No modifications or anything.

how do i add the file to the root of my sd card?

Download the file and either plug the phone into the computer and choose disk drive or take the card out and plug it into your computer and put the file on your sdcard. Root of your sdcard means not in any folder or anything. It should just be a zip file on your sdcard. Also, there is a step by step guide to unrooting. Just search the dev section for unroot and find the thread and follow the instructions, except use the PC36IMG download I gave you instead of the one in the thread. If you follow that guide you will have s-on again and be fully unrooted and you will have to root again if you ever want to flash a custom rom.

Link 1 and 2 are both the latest stock ROM, 3.70. Link 1 is an .exe file used to restore your device via PC. Link 2 is a PC36IMG file which is flashed right from your phone. The rest of the links just go backwards towards the oldest version of the EVO's software.

so if i use my phone to dl link 2 it will automatically flash itself?

Here is a link to the guide to unrooting. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141&highlight=unroot
GOOD Luck my friend. I have to go now, but there are many people smarter and better at this stuff than me on here that will be willing to help if you run in to any problems.

No dude link 2 you will have to put on the root of your sdcard. Link 1 on the shipped roms link I gave you is an .exe that you can download to your computer, plug in your phone(make sure HTC Sync is installed) and run the .exe and follow the steps on the computer to go back to stock. Putting the .zip on your sdcard is the more failproof way, but if you want the easy way try the .exe first. It will not hurt your phone if it fails.

i kinda wish i had read this last post. i went to the guide to unroot and clicked the pc36img to dl. used the barcode scanner. it opened my rom manager asked me if i wanted to back up my previous rom or wipe and instal, so i backed up what i had just to be safe. now its in clockwork mod recovery atm, i think installing the stock rom but im new with all of this so im not exactly sure...

Yes. Download the file using your phones browser. Once finished you'll need to rename it to PC36IMG. Next you move the file to the root of your SD card, meaning not in any folder. Turn your phone off. Once off, hold volume down and then hit the power button. The phone will scan your SD card and find the PC36IMG file. When asked to update press volume up to begin the process. Your back to stock.

its asking me to confirm the install and says THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE. do i hit yes????????

Both instructions (pc and via phone) are easy. For the absolute beginner though my method is gonna be easier. Do you have a file explore on your device? If not go to the market and get one. Use the file explorer to rename and move the PC36IMG file. Shut your phone off. Volume down & power button. Your finished.

i am in like the bootloader.atm should i reboot my phone? or should i install the file?

Now your confusing me lol. Honestly for everyone's sanity just follow one of our instructions. The pc method is easy too just takes a bit longer

Ok your in bootloader. Did it scan your card and file the file? If yes than proceed with the update. Volume up for yes

ahhhh im sorry man... this is what i did.. i went to that unrooting link... it had the unrevoked stuff and then a link to 4shared to dl the pc136img zip. so i downloaded the zip using the qr code with my phone. it opened the rom manager. asked me if i wanted to wipe my phone or backup everything before the install. i chose to back up. my phone went into the bootloader and backed everything up. now its giving me an option to apply the update, the pc136img, but when i do it it gives me a warning saying THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE. so should i just back out and reboot the phone or am i on the right track with this and should just hit yes?

htc incredible power cycling i need help!!

Alright so I have an HTC incredible and it keeps power cycling. The S- is ON and I can't figure out what to do.
I have tried the following:
downloaded stock rom
verified MD5
renamed stock rom to pb31img.zip
put it on sd card(formatted it first)
hboot
fast boot to load image
and thats as far as i can get, the phone wont accept the file, it keeps giving me error messages.
i than tried to put clock work on sd and renaming it... same thing...
i cant figure this out...
someone ...
PLEASE HELLLLPPPPPPPP

It needs to be named exactly PB31IMG.zip capps and all and it has to be on the root of your sd in no folders.
Also dont use fastboot you just use hboot. It should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to update. Also i dont know where you got your stock image from but here is a link to a known good one. http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22

fmllll all caps!? im an idiot... ill try this out and hopefully i can restore it .. thanks

[Q] htc evo 4g stuck in bootloop

My htc evo 4g is stuck in a bootloop. I can access bootloader and recovery, I have stock recovery, I have root but also s-on. I properly flashed digital karma over a month ago, only thing I did previous to this event was download two new roms, one was gangnam-style, i think it was jelly bean, i was planning on deleting and not flashing zip. and the other was an ics rom which i was planning to flash, but i was tired and went to bed to do another time. the next day i was working and my phone was in my back pocket and must have shut down or bumped it. when i tried to reboot, it was in this loop. i tried a hard reset. and wiped everything. no luck. i tried flashing my other roms to no avail. but the classic rom loaded up to the lock screen which took forever and then started the loop.
so its in a bootloop and getting to recovery takes forever but i can get there. i was wondering about this pcmg.. zip i have read about. sounded like that might work but can i put it to the root of my sd card with it in my phone or do i need a card reader?? or RUU, or any help would be appreciated. i still don't know how to access my sd card from the usb to computer, i hardly use computers. we own a dell with windows 8.

If you can get into recovery and bootloader, you're golden
Connect your phone to your computer while in bootloader, then go into your recovery. In recovery and bootloader you use the volume keys to navigate and Power button to select
Once there hit "mounts and storages" > "mount usb storage" and your sdcard should show up on your computer
Now go online and find a PC36IMG.zip for any android version, preferably froyo (android 2.2) if you want to root again
Once you get that zip, put it on the root of your sdcard and make sure its named properly (not PC36IMG.zip.zip by accident)
After that, hit the back option in recovery and exit all the way to the main screen and select "power off" or a similar option
Now boot up your phone into bootloader and follow the prompts to flash the stock firmware!
Steps to extract PC36IMG.zip from an RUU (if you cant find a PC36IMG.zip quickly)
Download an RUU and open it, stop once it opens
Open a "Run...." window (shortcut is WinKey + R, idk about Windows 8 though I use 7)
In that window type in "%temp%" (no quotes) and hit enter
Sort the files by date modified and browse through the folders till you find one that has a "rom.zip" file
Copy the "rom.zip" to your directory and close the RUU
Rename the "rom.zip" to "PC36IMG.zip" and follow steps above
EDIT: Try the above, I'm not sure if it will work with S-ON though, If it doesn't, try the steps below
Ok so find the PC36IMG using the steps above, then connect your phone to your computer while in bootloader and select the "fastboot" option
If you don't have the "fastboot.exe" program, get it from somewhere lol (HTCDev has it, I can upload it too if really necessary)
Now extract the PC36IMG.zip and copy the "fastboot.exe" to the directory where you extracted the ZIP
Then for every file in there do the following "fastboot flash "
Now if you get here, post again lol

ok, its getting late and I keep hitting the wrong key and having to re-type everything. so short and sweet. plan A.. fail.. plan b, need more thorough directions. I right clicked and extracted pc36img files and downloaded fastbootexe. tried copying it to the folder and following your directions, but I need more guidance. I appreciate your time. thanks.

No problem
Ok so, can you attach a screenshot of that folder where you extracted the PC36IMG.zip?
And connect your phone to your computer in fastboot mode (boot into bootloader > fastboot option) and run the following command and then attach a screenshot of that too please
Code:
fastboot oem listpartition

Drop it on the floor from about 2-4 feet high I know it sounds stupid but I tried everything and I couldn't stop my boot loop but my girlfriends daughter dropped it from the top of my PlayStation 3 and it stopped rebooting before that I installed stock rooted after formatting everything

[Q] Stuck on 2.2.1

I bought a HTC Droid Incredible 2 on Ebay (flashed to straight talk) and I'm trying to root it, but sadly i can't update to gingerbread (im stuck on 2.2.1 and can't unlock bootloader or anything ) I've searched all over, under, and around the interwebz but there seems to be no fix . Please help me Android gods so I can pimp my phone out :fingers-crossed:

RUU - ROM Update Utility
I was in this situation once. What you need is a signed RUU (ROM Update Utility) for Gingerbread 2.3.3. Once you have 2.3.3, you'll be able to root and (if desired) obtain S-OFF so that you can install custom ROMs, etc.
Follow these steps carefully. I am not responsible for any damage to your phone.
Download this zip file: http://d-h.st/yJQ
Expand the ZIP file. Inside it, you will find RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.605.3_Radio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_199487_si.zip
Verify that the md5sum of that file is cea499f51b40055ffd118960e1e73255. This is critically important. It ensures that your copy of the RUU has not been corrupted. If the MD5 does not match, start over from step 1. A corrupted RUU will likely brick your phone. MD5 checker app for Android
Rename the RUU zip file to PG32IMG.zip and put it at the top level of your SD card.
Confirm that your battery has plenty of charge, because RUU installations should never be interrupted for any reason. If they are interrupted, you could brick your phone. I recommend plugging your phone into a charger.
Turn off your phone. Hold down both the power and the volume down buttons to enter fastboot.
The word "BOOTLOADER" should have a blue background behind it, indicating that is highlighted. If not, highlight it using volume up or volume down. Once it's highlighted, press the power button to enter the bootloader (hboot).
Hboot will scan your SD card and detect the RUU file, PG32IMG.zip, and ask if you want to install it.
Select yes. DO NOT INTERRUPT RUU INSTALLATION FOR ANY REASON
Reboot the phone, and you should have 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Remove PG32IMG.zip from your SD card, or at least rename it.
For more info, such as how to obtain S-OFF and ClockwordMod Recovery (for custom ROM installation), read the "Revolutionary" section of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751796
For custom ROMs to try on your Incredible 2, go to our development forum. I myself use Chillybean's unofficial build of CyanogenMod 10.1, currently with b-team kernel version 7. CyanogenMod is by far the most popular custom ROM for Android, and CM 10.1 is based on Android 4.2.2. There are also Incredible 2 ROMs for Android 4.3 and 4.4, but I've avoided them because from what I've read they seem to have more bugs right now. 4.4 ROMs in particular are extremely experimental right now, more of a proof of concept to briefly try. If you care more about stability and battery life than having the latest Android versions, download the official CyanogenMod 7.2 stable which is based on Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread.

Is the whole thing the RUU file and needs renamed? or just RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.605.3_Ra dio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_199487_si.zip

Okay, I did everything exactly how you said, the md5 was right, i renamed the file, put it on top layer, but when i go to hboot (it starts up in hboot and automatically checks for images) it doesn't find anything.

Make sure you didn't make a typo in the name. It should be PG32IMG.zip. That's a capital i, not a lowercase L, and it may be case sensitive. Also, make sure file extensions are visible to you in whatever program you're using to rename, because if they're hidden you might have actually named the file PG32IMG.zip.zip.
Another possible cause is that for whatever reason the forums are putting a space in the long file name (should be Radio not Ra dio), which could be a problem if you're using the command line to rename and move.
Of course, make sure that the SD card is properly seated in your phone.
Just a few guesses off the top of my head. I have to go now. If it's something else maybe someone else can help.

This is my software information and my boot screen if it helps any.

There is no typos and I am manually changing the name from my PC by connecting phone as a harddrive, there is no space in radio.
The only thing i can think of is "Rename the RUU zip file to PG32IMG.zip and put it at the top level of your SD card." mayhap I'm spose to put the WHOLE miniadb_inc.zip on top layer? or just PG32IMG.zip?

Just PG32IMG.zip. The other files in that outer zip are for people downgrading from 2.3.4, not for people upgrading from Froyo like you are.
In hboot, what does it say at the very top of your screen?

idk what happened but it finally worked, now im trying to unlock bootloader (i think thats next for full root) but when I use
fastboot oem get_identifier_token in command prop I get
<bootloader> [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.008s ]
finished. total time: 0.009s
Which is the exact same problem i had beforehand and why i was trying to up grade to gingerbread -___-

Actually, the next step is to get S-OFF. That is the preferred way to unlock the bootloader, not the HTC unlock.
Read the "Revolutionary" section of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751796. Revolutionary will give you S-OFF and will also install ClockwordMod (CWM) as your custom recovery. Through the custom recovery you can install custom ROMs, but for the Incredible 2 you'll want to replace CWM with 4EXT afterwards.
