K so I thought I was having an issue with my phone only working while roaming so I ran the latest RUU. But my hboot still show s- off. Am I still rooted? If this has been answered all ready apologize I'm new here. And get the red triangle symbol when I try to go to recovery. The problem that I was having was apparently a tower failure so I am wanting to go back to a custom rom and want to make sure I don't have to reroot to do so. Thanks in advance for answers.

You're stock but you still have an unlocked bootloader. You should be able to flash a custom recovery and then flash a new ROM, no need to reroot.
Thanks for the help

I rooted using unrevoked and unrevoked forever, but I wasn't able to flash cyanogenmod, so I read up on NAND unlock and flashed the PC36IMG.zip from toast's method, but now it always restarts into bootloader and i cant get the os to load. Please help!
You should already have nand unlocked if you did unrevoked. All you you need is the eng hboot fix. Flash that zip in recovery , you can find it in dev section, then you should be able to flash CM hope that helps

This happened to me also. Go into recovery, run the mod zip again. If that doesn't work for you, you never saw me.
when i go into recovery it says E:can't open /cache/recovery/command
so i dont know how to flash anything
oh I see well try running ruu then just do unrevoked one click and youll be set just when you try to flash CM again after that make sure you flash hboot fix or it won't work.
Edit
Just read your post carefully lol czn you go into bootloader

There's a guide on rooting evo by regaww something. Download the PC36IMG from that post. Put it on card then just go to bootloader see if that will go through hope it does that saved me once

I had this exact issue after I loaded that PC136 file and installed it on my EVO. I wasn't able to do anything but load the bootloader. I finally had enough after 5 hours of no help, and found the shipping ROM and reinstalled the original ROM on my EVO.
i have since re-rooted and will not even dare to go back at this time to try that mess!
People can get you rooted, but they don't know how to get you out of a hole!

well, I rooted my HTC wildfire last week and flashed cyanogenmod 7.1 using the guidelines from cyanogenmode wiki using revolutionary. but now I want to go the stock ROM and want my device unrooted and I don't want the revolutionary bootloader or clockwork recovery. I want my phone to be good as new. how can I do that? and I don't know if this is important but I had s-off even before I used revolutionary and my android version was something like 2.2.1.405.7 and i have a backup soon after using revolutionary ,before rooting and before
flashing cm 7. and can I use the backup to go back to stock ROM and if I can do I need to clear all data and cache just like I did before flashing cm7? and thanks in advance.

Good luck
I did that but...
thanks for the info. I followed the instructions ran the Ruu and updated hboot. but now whenever I boot to the bootloader it searches for some file and shows something like PC49DIAG not found and when I try recovery it shows a picture of a phone with a red triangle.nothing happens. what can I do about the missing file and stock recovery?
There is no missing file, the diag is something you place on your SD to open a menu, its not needed unless you are using an xtc clip I think.
The recovery has been reset back to stock recovery if you press volume up and power on that red triangle screen, I think that's the combination to take you into stock recovery.

Thanks . I opened recovery menu. But it showed at the bottom "E: Can't open/cache/recovery/command". Is it something I should be worried about?

The file might be corrupt.Download the RUU(http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz) and try again.
If that doesn't work.Extract the recovery(recovery.img)from RUU.
If that doesn't work either,try it through ADB.
Good luck :good:
Thanks but I only wanted to know if it will pose any problem

Hey guys... been doing this a while but recently I decided to sell my old evos that were rooted, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to go back to stock.
First of all, my device is the HTC Evo 4G and I had the Amon-RA v2.3 recovery installed. I booted into that and reflashed back to stock using pc36img_supersonic_s_sprint_wwe_3.70.651.1_radio_2.15.00.11.19_nv_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip. Now I just need to relock and I'm golden, right? But how do I relock? to that just fine.
Currently I'm at HBOOT 2.10 and radio 2.15.00.11.19 and I'm unlocked with S-ON (I am NAND unlocked with no watermark)
Thanks for any advice
Could you post a picture of your bootloader screen?
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
NAND UNLOCKED WITH S-ON AND NO WATERMARK?--technically doesn't make sense. Your NAND is only unlocked if your bootloader reads either S-OFF or UNLOCKED on an Evo.
If you are S-ON with no watermark, then it sounds like you are already NAND locked. Do you not have a stock ROM or do you have Superuser installed or have a custom recovery? If so, all you need to do is run the PC36IMG file again. You have the correct one. If not, then your phone is already fully unrooted with NAND lock.
I'm not understanding what you mean, because your NAND is already locked, unless you want the Hboot with the watermarked "LOCKED OWW" that you really don't need if the phone is already unrooted. If you do let us know and we will give you a link.

Interesting. I thought after flashing the ROM I would be still rooted. I tried flashing RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.54.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed.exe and this is the result:
No. Nand unlock is basically an unlocked or S-OFF bootloader on a Evo.
http://androidforums.com/incredible...hink-i-understand-root-but-nand-recovery.html
Your phone is really all set, unless you want to update it to the latest update. In that case you could just OTA it, then factory reset.

Can you get into fastboot ? If you can there is still hope and it isnt BRICKED ....... Fastboot usb ... fastboot flash recovery again , then flash a correct rom . if recovery still isnt working try fastboot reboot recovery ..... and you may have to RUU . but as long as you have fastboot you still have a fighting chance .
I've tried to just flash the recovery through boot loader. Does the same thing. I'll try fast boot reboot recovery. How do I RUU? Can I flash a rom in fast boot?

Hey guys,
I had a very similar problem happen, do you think you could post your solution on the forum? I can get into bootloader and i'm trying to figure out how to fix it.
I'm on a macbook does that mean I can't use the RUU?
I don't mean to be mean, but how do people keep flashing the wrong roms?
Just curious

I would REALLY start reading about all the things NOT to do with an S-OFF phone if you think you bricked your phone on a bootloop.
I honestly don't want to see your beautiful phone actually get BRICKED. which means just that it's a brick.. it doesn't turn on, no charge light ANYTHING, that is a brick. And can happen, but if you are careful you will be fine. but Not knowing how to flash an RUU and what a bootloop is, those are things you should learn BEFORE you S-OFF. Just don't want to see you end up with an actual Brick.

Hey on the positive side if you brick it you can re-enforce your home...
Lol! Learned allot in the past week. Andy, everything you said is on point. I took the time to read and learn and you'll be happy to know I'm now running TWRP with bone stock. I now have a better understanding of it all. I have rooted and unlocked many phones. Eris my first. But this is my first S-off and thanks to all the help from xda members like yourselves I know what I have.

My apologies if this has been asked before, and if it has I would love to be pointed in the right direction. But just curious, do I need S-off to flash a custom rom after root, or even have s-off to root to begin with?
Thank you for your replies, in advance.
Well, currently as it stands, there's only one root method for this phone, and it involves s-off. So essentially, yes.

You should be completely fine. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473644 and you'll be able to get soff with rum runner when u download the specific app use the version with .15 at the end and follow the instructions. Let me know if that worked I am on 4.3 android so I am stuck just do not accept the OTA update.

If you unlock/s-off prior to the 4.3 update you can take the update after and still get root
