Ok, what should I do? Long story short. I tried to use unrEVOked to root my phone. Didn't work, would not finish the process and hung multiple times. So I re-did my phone back to stock and used Autoroot2.3 which hung also, twice. xHausx game me advice on what to do, but somehow I made it worse and eventually lost 4G and the phone acted erratic. Soooo, I used a stock RUU to try to correct the issues. It solved all of them. HOWEVER, the rooting attempts never fully rooted the phone, but the HBoot states "s-off". I can't "s-on" because I no longer have a recovery tool. What the hell should I do? Root or figure out a way to un-root? Hope this makes sense?! Thanks in advance!

Download the 3.70 RUU, boot into the bootloader and select fastboot, and then run the RUU exe. After that try unrunning unrevoked, but let it run..sometimes it hangs and moves on, you should do 2 reboots with unrevoked.

Hey guys! I have no idea where to post, so I apologize if I'm in the wrong section.
I'm very new to rooting and I've seem to come into a major problem. (Atleast in my eyes.) To start off I had gotten my HTC Evo 4g & used the method of UNRevoked to root my Evo. I then found out UNRevoked isn't a full nand unlock & all the nitty gritty, so I came upon Toastcfh's guide to rooting the Evo. I performed half the instructions as told and was then in this boot loop. Right before it happened I (think) I erased the Dalvik Cache, but I definitely hard formatted the whole phone/cache. Anyway as told in the instructions I was suppose to flash the PC36IMG.zip to my phone and I did. Once that all configured it rebooted on itself & now the phone is stuck in boot with stock recovery method. I can load into HBOOT and see that in green lettering it says: SUPERSONIC EVT2-2 SHIP S-OFF, HBOOT-0.79.0000, TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab, RADIO-1.39.00.04.26. Please help me. I havent used my phone for a whole day now. :\
To add: Before the PC36IMG.zip got added on my phone, I had clockwork mod recovery. Now I have the stock one I'm guessing. I have tried a stock RUU through HBOOT USB, but the RUU either says some error my phone battery is under 30% (when it's fully charged). Or the RUU will say waiting for device to connect. & I tried putting a rom on my sd card then flashing or whatever and my computer wont open my sd card unless, I put it in the disk reader. Please ask questions, I'll answer as best as I can...thanks!
The current Unrevoked does in fact unlock nand, so you should have stopped there. I am not familiar with Toast's rooting method, so I can't say for certain what happened. The good news is, you are probably fine, you just need to reflash a rom. Since you can't get into recovery, the best way to fix this is to flash a rooted stock pc36img from your hboot. Download the file from THIS THREAD, rename it to pc36img, put it on your sd card and boot into hboot. It will find it automatically and then it will take a few minutes to load it. Once it's loaded it will ask if you want to run the update, choose yes and let it do its thing. When it's done you will have the latest rooted stock rom on there and clockwork recovery. Make sure you delete the old pc36img off your sd card before doing this. Good luck and godspeed.
Did what u said there MetalHead. still getting boot loops at the white htc evo 4g screen and can not get into recovery. Do you have anymore suggestions?
I would try it again but use this PC36IMG.zip instead.

This one is completely stock. You will be unrooted after running it, so you will have to root again.

Ok so I am having a strange issue here. I tried to root my buddy's incredible using the newest version of unrevoked. It went through successfully but I noticed when going into the bootloader that it still states S-ON. Also, when I click on Recovery, it takes me to a black screen with white lines on the side. I have tried flashing the recovery multiple times by using the PB31IMG.zip method to no avail. I am guessing at this time the root did not take. So when I try to use Unrevoked again it tells me that root is unsuccessful, my software may be too new (or something to that affect. I have tried it 3 more times, no dice. Just for ****s, I downloaded terminal and it works, I can get superuser access. I tried flashing a recovery at that point with the flash_image method and that doesnt work either, it says image not found or something like that. I dont know if it rooted and didnt turn S-OFF, or if it isn't rooted at all. I tried downloading and just going back to an unrooted stock rom and it said that the software version is older and failed. I have been at it for hours. Please someone help. Thanks in advance.
(By the way, I accidentally posted this in the General Discussion Q&A when I meant to post this here so it's a repost.)
You have to choose in the menu to have unrevoked install s-off.
Your friend's screen is an SLCD screen, not an AMOLED screen. This is why you are getting the black screen with white bars. You need to look on here for the instructions on how flash a recovery compatible with SLCD screens.
Here you go this should get you what you need - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855515&highlight=slcd
Thanks so much for the reply. That thread is a lot more informative than the one that was linked in the stickied thread. I fixed it by downloading an RUU and running Unrevoked again. For some reason it just didnt take that time. Thanks again!
Hey guys,
I had a friend root my phone and wanted to unroot it, I wasnt sure how to do it so i stupidly did stuff without reading first.
I am running unrevoked it seems and i went into recovery and did a factory reset. Well my phone still wouldnt accept the OTA update so i went back into recovery and deleted data and a few other options. Well i have been reading and been trying to reflash my phone back so i can use it again. Well i dont have an OS anymore it seems so the only thing my phone does is go to the bootloader. ( white screen with options Fastboot, Recovery, ect. )
I downloaded an image file and the bootloader checked it and said Main version older and failed to install. So i did more reading and flashed the unrevoked zip again and tried again. didnt work, so i have been downloading every image i can find tring to get it to install and it never does. It says i am missing file PC36diag.zip and PC36diag.nbh or NBH file is not correct. It then unpacks the img file i have on there then checks it, then nothing happens ( that is with the other image files i dled not the original ) And when i say nothing happens i mean it says checking, then just goes back to the bootloader screen. I dont know what to do. Any help?
Did you try Z4 mod to un-root?
No,
This link is the method i was using to unroot

Have you tried running the RUU yet? I would give that a try. Also, I believe that when you get the 'main version older' error, it has something to do with what version hboot you have on your phone. There are many different PC36IMG.zips and many different RUU's. I believe you need to find the correct one for your phone. I would try the RUU first though, and see if you can get your phone back up that way. You run the RUU from your computer, and have the phone plugged in via USB. I will provide a couple links, one that contains every RUU and PC36IMG (all software versions), and another that has a bunch of factory ROMS. Hope it works for ya.

You've got good advise on the RUU. I already did it to bring my Evo into a store to be looked at.
In the Evo Development thread you'll find one or more posts with links to the Evo RUU files. If you have a 002 or 003 hardware version Evo, download the 3.29.x version RUU; if you have an 004 you can get the latest 3.70.x file.
Connect your Evo to your PC via the USB cable, run the RUU file on your PC, and befor eyou know it, you've got an unrooted, completely stock Evo. Add your info again, run the OTA updater to get you back to the latest version, and enjoy your stock Evo.
I hope this helps. Thank you for your time.
This is really starting to look like a megaupload advertisement

Hello. I'm in a bit of a bind which I cannot get myself out of, so I am posting here. I've been around for over a year lingering, updating, trying new things, etc. I came across a free Incredible, which I attempted to root, and install a ROM onto. I rooted the phone with Unrevoked 3, booted into Clockwork mod recovery, made a nandroid, and installed the ROM. The installation was successful, however, on boot after the HTC splash screen the phone vibrates 5 times and the led flashes green constantly. The same thing happened when I tried to boot into recovery.
I found that the phone booted to the Set Up, which crashed, if it was plugged into a computer. I ADB saw the device but I could not push files or execute commands. Unrevoked S-OFF would not work also.
After Googling, I found a 2.2 RUU, which installed successfully, but I get the same boot problems. If the USB is plugged into a computer before the phone is turned on I actually get to Android and can play around. The phone will not recognize any memory, SD or internal; only phone memory is recognized. I tried ADB again with no luck, most likely has to do with the phone not recognizing memory. So I flashed the RUU from HBOOT which flashed fine, but the same problems still persist.
I am out of ideas, which I hope someone has anything I can try.

I cannot thank you enough.
Edit: Unrevoked gave me s-off. I want to be clear this time before I install any ROM. Do I need to run unrevoked-forever.zip? I am 99.999% positive I do not since I already have s-off. I want to get a new ROM on tonight.
Unrevoked 3 now contains the forever patch, as previous versions did not. So you are good to go flash away, after making a nandroid of course
No need for unrevoked forever if you are s-off
Thanks! On my way to a new ROM.
Hi, I need some help with my Desire HD.
I've been running Android Revolution for nearly a year now and had 6.1.5 running well until about a fortnight ago.
Initially, the volume keys started malfunctioning and the volume down would get stuck. Occassionally, the phone would freeze and I'd have to take the battery out and reset, and it would seem fine except the date was set to 11:00AM on January 1, 1980. Same date and time every time. Strange!
In the past week some processes have been failing, some downloaded apps and some google service framework. The phone then rebooted itself into bootloader and when i tried to reboot it would just loop back in to bootloader. after 10 or so reboots it would eventually boot back up properly.
Yesterday I ran SuperWipe and reinstalled Revolution 6.1.5 and things seemed to be running smoother. Then my phone froze again and is now stuck in the bootloader and nothing will work. The volume up key works nearly always and the volume down key has occasionally worked with alot of force, but i think this problem may be seperate to the software issues.
I once selected Reboot Bootloader and rebooted to a weird fuzzy static screen.
I've recorded a video of what is happening and posted it here: h tt p:// youtu.be/Sgp8pYin6yY
I've also posted a picture of the green text that flashes up in bootloader, I'm not allowed to post links so please go to the link in the comments on the youtube video.
From looking at other forum topics I think loading an RUU could be a solution, but I'm not sure how to do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Bickers
to flash an ruu or its pd98 equivilent is simple.
For an RUU what you do is in hboot select fastboot. then Plug in your phone and run the RUU.exe from your pc.
OR
If you prefer the PD98 method. what you do is place the pd98 file in the root of your sd card(not in a folder). boot into hboot. and hit up to accept the installation
its your choice on which RUU to flash but personally i would choose either the new sense 3.0 3.12 or the sense 2.1 2.50.
One thing to note is the issue with your volume down. If you still have warranty on it, i would get it replaced
Making RUU into .exe or PD98IMG.zip
Ok I think it's best for me to reinstall the original Vodafone Rom.
The "The Complete Guide 2 Return Rooted Phone Back 2 Stock for Vodafone Australia Warranty" guide relies on using Clockworkmod - which I can't get into because my phone won't boot past bootloader.
I have downloaded the 1.32 ROM from the above thread and it's a zip file but I need to know how to get it into either RUU.exe to run through my computer or PD98IMG.zip to run through bootloader.
Do I simply rename it PD98IMG.zip?
I've been searching and reading lot on RUUs and unrooting etc. but can't figure out how to do it.
I also have a goldcard that I created last time I flashed a custom ROM but I can't find the guide that I followed and I'm not sure if I need a goldcard.
Please take the time to help me and provide step by step instructions of how to take the 1.32 Vodafone AU ROM back up and install it onto my phone through bootloader.
Thanks a million and one!
No you can't rename that zip and flash in hboot. Unfortunately you need access to cwr to do that method.
I think first we should try and get you back up and running on any rom before you decide to go back to stock. Unfortunately for you their isn't a ruu for vodafone au to make it and easier process.
So for now try and reflash cwr and or a different ruu, to atleast get you in a working state. Give me a min to find a link to a guide to see if that will help you
Edit- try this

Use the mirror links in the second post. If you have no way to transfer the files use the ruu method at the end. Links to the wwe and hopefully faster links are found in my last post in the thread
Partition Update Fail!
Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately when I try to flash the PD98 of the recovery image I get Fail-PU in red next to BOOTLOADER and RECOVERY.
and "Partition Update Fail!" in black underneath.
I also tried another recovery pd98 and got the same thing. About to try the RUU method from the PC, but if that doesn't work i'm not sure what to do
