How did you root the device?

I used unrevoked but this is the first problem I've had with anything.

With the unrEVOked method it is best and easiest to download a pc36img.zip from the unrEVOked website. Then replace the splash1 file with the one you want to use. Place on root of sdcard then boot into recovery. It will scan sdcard then ask if you want to update the Pc36img.zip just volume up for yes then new splash screen will be flashed.

I think I may have found the problem. Some how I turned s-on. Installing unrevoked forever. That should work.

when I boot into bootloader and it scans the p36img it doesn't give me an option to update. It goes straight to options list.

Be sure that you have the file named correctly. It should be pc36img.zip a lot of times there is an extra .zip at the end. And also be sure you have the correct contents inside the folder. It should be named exactly as the one you are replacing. Leave all the other files inside the .zip as is. Just replace the splash1 file.

still does not work. phone does not give me any opption to update .zip after scanning card. Never has. Even reinstalled the original pc36img.zip on zip. It scans but goes straight to the options list for fastboot, recovery, etc. My wifes evo does it to. They both have done it even when completely stock, before root.

And you are putting the .zip on the root of the sdcard right.

Yes and I've done everything. Renamed the .rgb565 img and put it in the .zip folder. The problem I think is the phone. I don't know why but none of the four evos I've worked on read the pc36img.zip. Why would this be. I've read some rooting tutorials that talked about rooting through the pc36img.zip file, but my phones have read and let me update. I don't get it!

Very weird. Don't know what else to suggest. I am at a loss.

We gave it a shot. I just don't know why it won't give me the option to update. Usually, with some assistance I can find out what I'm doing wrong and fix it. Thanks for puttin some time in to help.

Yeah sorry I couldn't help. That is all I got. Maybe its the bootloader. I will try searching for some answers in the morning. If you figure it out before me keep the post updated I would sure like to know what's going on.

[Q] Unroot without USB Question

Is there a way to unroot your phone without USB? My charging port is no longer working properly and a replacement is being sent to me. The phone will not connect to my computer anymore. Can someone please help me. Thank you.

If you used unrevoked forever, download this:
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever-son.zip
Put it on your SD card (using a card reader)
If not (say you used the original ENG HBOOT root method), skip the above.
Download any of the RUUs that work with your phone (latest would be safest)
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Supersonic
Run the RUU (once it comes up with a screen warning you about possible consequences), search C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Temp\{series of characters}\{another series of characters} (assuming you are in windows vista or 7, otherwise path is c:\documents & settings\<your username>\Application Data\Local\Temp\{series of characters}\{another series of characters})
From there, grab rom.zip, rename to PC36IMG.zip (capitalization matters) and put it on SD card as well (using a card reader)
Exit the RUU utility (click "Cancel")
Reboot into recovery, flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip first (if you used unrevoked forever for root)
Reboot into bootloader (Vol Down + Power from phone off state), flash PC36IMG.zip when prompted
You are done

I used the OTA Simple Root method..

If I flashed an older ROM and then did the OTA Sprint update, will it unroot my phone?

Yes. If you flash an old Rom, then install an OTA update via Sprint, that should unroot your phone.

Thanks I guess I will try that. I just didn't want to brick my phone in the process.

If you are flashing something other than official sprint rom, as of around 3.29+ most have forced disabled updates through HTC menu so that newbies don't accidentally take it and kill their root.
Why not just do what I detailed? If you didn't use unrevoked, you just need the PC36IMG.zip and you are set.

Where did you get "a PC36IMG.zip" you speak of?

My usb port stopped working awhile back too, from now on I keep a copy of the newest pc36img.zip on my card.
Get it here: http://www.multiupload.com/VLFJ3L99PE
That is the new 3.70.
Rename it to pc36img.zip, and boot with vol down.

To be honest with u, I'm not sure. My mind is so bogged down from work. I had someone helping me and he provided me with a link. Is the link in the post above the correct image for my phone? I am on hardware version 0003 and baseband 2.15.00.11.19

Do I have to flash the new radios before I flash the pcimg36?

The image I downloaded from post #11 didn't work. I tried renaming it PC36IMG.zip and PC36IMG. It says no image or wrong image.

You don't flash a pc36img.zip.
It automatically loads through bootloader. Not recovery.
Just put it in root directory of your sd.
Power up while holding vol down. When asked, say yes to load update. You never go into recovery.

Might've had a bad download. Or that link is bad, I thought that was where I downloaded the file a few weeks ago... but maybe not.
Just look for a 3.70 PC36IMG.zip file.

Incredible OTA update

OK, so for the last couple of months I've been putting off updating with the ota just because when I tried to do it, it wouldn't go through because i rooted with unrevoked forever and my security is off (S-off).. So I finally get around to do it, but I can't figure out how to turn security back on (S-on). I thought I could do it by running unrevoked again but this time uncheck Disable security on phone. Well I tried it like 5 times and I still got S-off. So how do I turn it back on to get the newest update, or does anyone have it in an update.zip format?

Why do you want to do that?
That said, if it's what you really want to do, then download the latest PB31IMG file from Doug Piston's Site. Rename the file to PB31IMG.zip, put it on the root of your sdcard, and reboot into HBOOT. Follow the onscreen prompts.
You'll still have S-OFF, but that's not going to prevent the ROM from installing. If you don't want to replace things like your recovery, radio, hboot, with the defaults then remove those .img files from the zip file.

Here, to get s-off the file i attached should work. Its from the get back to stock thread

So if I go get the newest pb31img.zip, that's basically the newest ota? And all I have to do is hboot install it?

So I was just playing around with the pb31img zip from Doug, and i opened one of the files and it pulled up some Starwars stuff... just kind of odd. Then I opened another one and now it says that service is not available anymore... Lol

You don't open that file, you load it to your phone as is.

OK, so if i decide to do this, and I delete the recovery, radio, and hboot*, this would be the new update?

Yes. Removing the recovery.img means that you won't lose your ClockworkMod Recovery. Alternatively, you could download CWM 3.0.0.8 for the Inc from and replace the recovery.img file in the RUU so that you're flashing the latest CWM instead of the stock recovery.
Similarly, you can grab your favorite radio version from this thread and replace the radio.img file. The one built into the RUU is 07.28, whereas 11.19 is the latest that works with our phones (even if it did come from the Evo). If you're not sure which radio works best for you, then I'd advise starting with the stock 07.28 radio, and seeing which works best for you over time. Different radio versions can have different effects for people depending on their location. For many, it can improve signal strength (and, correspondingly, battery life). For others it makes things worse.
Also, you can't flash S-ON on the Inc unless you're running the 07.28 radio.
What is different with the new hboot?

I'll be honest, I don't know. However, some ROMs require the latest HBOOT to work, so it's worth upgrading while you're resetting everything else.

No, that's not going to work quite the same way. I've never peeked into the OTA file to see what's inside, so I don't know what kind of results you'll get.

Thank you so much, that helped a lot! So I pulled the doug pm31img.zip, put the new clockwork recovery into a new pm31img.zip then copied the contents of Doug pm31img to the new pm31img with out the recovery.img. then re-zipped it, do I need to use no compression? (I used winrar to create the new pm31img.zip)
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Compression ratio doesn't matter -- I used max with 7-zip. Just make sure you use Deflate, not Deflate64 or any other advanced compression method.
And make sure it's name is PB31IMG.zip, not PM31IMG.zip.
Oh, and make sure your SD card is FAT32 formatted, not FAT16.

cant figure out how to unroot!

i rooted my device with universal root 2.4 now im trying to unroot it and send it back. Somehow i managed to turn my s-on and i couldnt get the pcimg file to work it said it was a old version when it went to check it. put another pcimg file on it just checks it doesnt ask to install it and puts me in the regular bootloader screen.

Try the PC36IMG route one more time. It should work. What hboot version are you currently on?
Download that file I attatched, and name it to PC36IMG and put it on the main directory of your sd card. See if you have success with that one. If not, and you want to try the RUU again...then I suggest setting the phone to 'fastboot usb' before running the RUU. Once you set it to fastboot usb (select fastboot from the bootloader), then try the RUU, and it should detect it. (you do need to have HTC Sync installed on your computer to use an RUU)

I'll try that file u sent and yes it won't detect it in fastboot and I have HTC sync installed

I have a rooted phone by unrevoked and have clockwork mod recovery 3.0.6.(Because the latest version wouldn't work with the rom i was trying to flash) and flashed the rom but the it wont boot. im stuck at the white screen and when i try to go to recovery it just crashes with 2 white vertical lines on the sides of the screen. I have no idea how to fix this. someone please help me

That's you having an incompatible CWM on an slcd screen. Update to a different one by flashing it in hboot.

how do i get hboot to use the zip file instead of the other cwm recovery because its not working. Also do i have to name the zip anything?

You put it on the root of your SD card and boot into hboot by booting while holding power and volume down. It will automatically find the file and ask you if you want to flash it. It has to be name PB31IMG.zip
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

My phone did not automatically reconize the file in hboot when I named it PB31IMG.zip. So I went to the Verizon store. They're sending me a new phone but i would still like to get this one to work because they let me keep it. I'm probably going to send it to a guy that can rewrite the software. However since Im running low on money I probably wont send it in for a while so if anyone notices anything i didnt or thinks they know the problem, please let me know. Thank you

cvbcbcmv said:
it's probably PB31IMG.zip.zip. Try getting rid of the .zip and see if your extracting program will still recognize it, if yes, it has a hidden .zip, and keep it like that, if no, then you need the zip there. Can you do that for me? That's probably your problem.

Yes, this happened to me early on. You ususally don't see the extension (the .zip) part of the file name, so when you add it you are creating a file named PB31IMG.zip.zip. So like the good person above says, just make it say PB31IMG and it will likely be fixed. If not, THEN make it say PB31IMG.zip
Good luck!

Yes got it. Wow that was frustrating. Thank you so much everyone who helped me
