How do you go back to stock without root?

I want to remove root temporarily and not break 4g or anything. What is the method for doing this?

Thanks I'll try that out.

This is not working. I run the .exe and then it reboots the phone to bootloader mode and the phone never enters the bootloader so eventually it errors out. I tried booting the phone into booatloader mode manually and then starting the .exe but that didn't work either. Oh well...just have to wait for a different method I suppose.

That's weird, it definitely worked for me.

I just had an idea, it could be getting stuck at the HTC screen because of the .zip files on the SDcard so I'm going to try the update one more time and if it does not work then I will remove the .zip's from the SDcard to see if removing them helps! I hope so -fingers crossed-
Edit: Nope, no difference. Ugh...wish I had never rooted in the first place.
Edit 2: I had another thought, why not try to run the .exe while the phone was showing the HTC logo, and surprise, it is now working! I really hope that it removes root, fixes the market, and gets that update!

Could you check to see if your version numbers match up to this thread?

It would be nice to have a way to get back to factory settings. I'm waiting to root my phone just in case it breaks something.

You can also try unrevoked3, that gets you su permissions then do toasts part 2 then use whiteslacks "how to start over method. Seems the long way around but you can usually avoid the problems simpleroot seems to cause some people.

ok guys good news...i tried the OTA simpleroot on the xp pc and everything went perfectly without any error, my phone is currently updating files in bootloader as we speak, but i have a question how do i user RA recovery instead of clockwork? does it matter or make a difference? or should i just leave clockwork and load a custom rom

personal preference really, i use Ra, just boot to recovery then flash away, either one is good, some say clockwork does not completely wipe ... I havent had any problems with either personally.

I had problems loading DC 3.2.X with clockwork... but ROM manager needs clockwork and is amazing

ive heard if u connect to wifi during step 3, that will fix your probelm, i had an issue like that too, plus i had one where it said "unable to find device" in part 2

major problem. Need some help. Loopbooting

So I'm at work and go to look at my phone and notice its rebooting which it never does. I watch it and notice its loopbooting at the white Evo screen. Ive never as much as had a random reboot before. I try to boot into recovery and can get to hboot but as soon as I try to select recovery it loop boots at the same point. I tried pulling the battery and that didn't help either. I'm running cm6.1 rc1 with stock kernel and no over or under clocking. I haven't made any changes in a while. Not even any new apps.
Any ideas?

I just went through and read every thread with loop in the title and it seems like with everyone else they had this issue while rooting or flashing or making some sort of change. Nor just on an idle phone

You may need to RUU your phone and start over if you arent able to get into any type of recovery mode...

did you try a 3.29 ruu i'm surprised that sync let you flash a 3.26 if your phone updated to newer that might help also if you used unrevoked you need to flash thier s-on tool

The only RUU I was able to flash with the RUU app was the 3.26 one I posted. I downloaded like 10 others and RUU app doesn't see them for some reason.
Also, how can I send a file to the phone with fastboot? I've searched and searched and I'm not sure of the exact syntax to use.
I had S-OFF and was fully rooted untill I ran RUU app.

Any other suggestions? I'm really trying to avoid getting a new phone.

Grabbed a card reader and adapter and trying some other RUU's I found now.. Hopefully something works.

Help Needed. Need to get back to Rooted 2.2 or 2.3

Hey guys. I have a problem and not sure how to go about this. My Evo was at 2.2 rooted for a long while and all of a sudden it started acting up. It would always freeze and had to be rebooted constantly. So I had a back that I went back to successfully but it is at 2.1 now (Baseband 2.15.00.09.01)
Now I'm not getting the OTA update to 2.2. I go into HTC software update and it says no available updates for my phone.
So how do I get to 2.2 or 2.3 rooted?
FYI after going into bootlaoder and choosing Recovery, I get Clockworkmod Recovery. Is this normal?

You need to flash the stock rooted ROM for the latest OTA update. I would suggest trying out some different Roms, though. That's the best part of rooting.
And ClockworkMod is the most popular recovery for the Evo, so yeah that's probably right.

It's pretty easy actually. Once you have root again (if you don't already), go to http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic and download either the newest nighly (30) or RC2 to your memory card.
Boot into Clockwork and go to backup and restore, and choose nandroid backup or backup (I'm not using clockwork, so I don't know the exact verbiage). Once the backup is complete, do a full system wipe by clicking on wipe data/factory reset.
Once that is done, choose install zip from sdcard, scroll down to cm_supersonic_full-30.zip and select it. It will install and then ask you to reboot. Go ahead and reboot.
Once your phone is up and running again, you'll want to get back into recovery so that you can flash GoogleApps, which you can find here: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/.
You'll flash these just like you did CyanogenMod 7 a minute ago, although you will want to wipe your cache and dalvik cache (which is located under "advanced" in the Clockwork menu) first.
All you have to do then is boot back up, go through the walkthrough to set up your google account, and then you'll be running (close to) stock Gingerbread 2.3.
If you need any help, feel free to ask.

Awesome!!! Thanks blackroseMD1!! I'll give it a try when I get home from work tonight. I'm not rooted right now. The last time I rooted I used unrevoked because it was so easy. Would that be good enough to get the process rolling?

Many recommend wiping data/factory reset (which I know was suggested and you've done), but also cache and dalvik BEFORE flashing any new ROM. Also, with CM, is it not suggested that you use Format_All?

Your best bet is to use YouMail, which is free in the market. It's a lot like Sprint's Visual VoiceMail that you have on Sense roms, but with more features. I use it, and I love it.

His instructions are good; I'd have said the same thing, and we will get ya rooted successfully. Just to had to the htc sync note, after you install it, you need to uninstall it [just the program] because it causes problems with unrevoked; you only need the drivers it installs.

You're welcome, glad you got the drivers set up and you got root! Nice. There are soo many different awesome ROMs man. If you like AOSP, you have CM7, SalvageMod1.1, Savaged Zen, Evervolv, etc. I like them all, when I'm in an AOSP mood. They are all fully functional, fast, and have good support. If you like sense, or senseless, I like Myn's RLS5, MikFroyo, Koni's ES, and definitely VaelPak. Honestly, it depends on what pleases your eye, and what type of features you're looking to have. You really can't go wrong, and it may take a little experimentation to find the perfect ROM / kernel combo. It's fun trying to find the perfect combo, going on flash binges, haha! Take care, and have fun flashing ROMs. Remember to always do a full wipe (data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and flashing calk's formatall.zip) before flashing a rom. Always wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing anything else. Remember to keep a current and good working backup of your system, before you flash anything 'major', such as themes, mods, kernels etc. You'll be good to go.
