Someone please please please help me out. I am trying to unroot my phone so I can take it back to the store to get my speaker replaced. I am on hboot .93 with S-ON.... I originally rooted with simpleroot. I never used unrevoked. I run the file in bootloader and it always comes back telling me "Main Version is older" "Update Fail!" I have deleted everything else from the card. Can someone please shed some light...
EDIT: Thanks to user Darth Duane this was figured out...
You need to flash the MTD-ENG.img from toasts NAND (PART 2) unlock instructions.
So go here....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701835
and complete step 2.
After thats done go run the PC36IMG.zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141
and your all set! Hope this helps someone else!
If ur showing s-on then ur not rooted

No disrespect but this can't be true. I have flashed almost all the Roms on here including cm6. I am actually on the 9/29 nightly build right now.

I did unrevoked then unrooted using their s-off tool and a pc36img from before the ota 3.26 i think it was. Well after flashing img i forgot to delete or rename it before reboot and thats when i saw the same thing the op did when it flashed it again. Are u able to get a newer one or are u using the 3.29 img already?
I think my screen asked me if i wanted to flash anyways rather han a straight up fail and refusal to flash.

How do I know?
you probably need the engineering hboot, a quick google search will bring up a whole list of ways to fix this.
Hey I got 2.02 and can't downgrade, i tried thru boot loader and flashable zips but no luck, any idea how i can do it?
Thanks that worked the link is here in-case any one needs it in the future.
Its the HBoot in the first post the name of the .zip is: EVO_HBoot_0.76.2000.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752832
In order to flash through pc36img.zip, you need toast's mtd-eng.img flashed to your misc partition. Pm me for questions on how to do this if you have any.
David, haus, it seems to me like we are the only ones really working in this section. Hah I see our three names in every other thread. I have waaay too much free time on my hands.
okay so I have been rooted for some time now and decided i wanted to unroot (for reasons im still trying to figure out) so now i am on 2.1 update 1 and cannot update to froyo. when i go to settings>about phone>system update it says my phone is up to date and when download the official 2.2 update and rename it to update.zip and try to install it it says a bunch of stuff then e: error in sdcard update.zip (status 7) update aborted. my radio (baseband) version 1.00.03.04.06 . i have done the PB1IMG thing then tried to update and i get the same thing! I am pissed!
any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt
I haven't unrooted in a long time, but maybe it's related to the fact that you're still on the old radio? You might need to be on the official froyo radio which is 2.15.00.07.28
Thank you how do I get the new radio?

Be sure to take extra care when flashing radios. Don't pull the battery while it's updating and even if it looks like it's not doing anything, LEAVE THE PHONE ALONE. Read up in that topic for more information on how to flash radios.
I appreciate your help, I will study up and perform the update tonight. When I post back tonight with the results hopefully I will be updating to froyo

If you are going to go through the trouble of updating the radio and then hope the OTA will push, why not install the update? Its the same process and you'll be assured you have the 3.26 build.
Because I can not install the update right now if you read my first post I explain. It says update aborted

Your doing it wrong. My idea is you would be using hboot to flash the update. It will work and not fail.
You issue using the update.zip idea is phone is checking for files that aren't there and then aborting. Hboot will not look for these files and will upgrade you.
An even easier idea would be just to run the ruu if you have a windows PC.
I'm just trying to save you time and headache. You don't have take my advice.

alright, I flashed the new radio(2.15.00.07.28) and i am still having the same problem, not being able to update, either way(manual or by ota) and i am still frustrated. the one weird thing is that after i flashed the new radio when i went to recovery to try ro manual update it was clockworkmod!? I have no idea what the heck is up with my phone! does anyone have any ideas?
thanks,

You will have to either reroot or flash clockwork through hboot when you are done if you want root again.

Don't open or unzip the file. Simply rename and move to SD card. Check the md5 to make sure the zip didn't go tits up during download.
The ruu is a .exe. I'm in class and don't have time to explain. Just Google it.

thank you! this worked the RUU worked! but now im "stuck" on 2.2 and the 2.2-update 1 wont show up on the system update any ideas on how i could get back to where i still get ota updates?
Unless I am wrong you should still get otas. That ruu is from HTC. Your build number should be 3.26

To my understanding I need to flash the Froyo radios in order to get S-ON correct?
I also have .97 hboot and will be running an RUU, any suggestions on which one I need to run?
Yes just flash the 11.19 radio from 3.70 froyo and flash s-on in recovery. After you update the radio and s-on just flash the pc36img.zip in bootloader and you'll be unrooted.
You can run the 3.70 ruu if you like.

Hopefully this works, I was going to run an older RUU but I suppose updating it would be easier to just do a more recent version. The guy who is buying it wants it stock anyways so I am just going to update it to the newest OTA.

If you can't get the ruu going I'll ink up the pc36img which is alot easier than ruu. Make sure you have htc sync installed or the ruu wont work. If you have problems just report back ill help out.

Its Mr, Yellow!
And the trick with the RUU is that you have to use the version corresponding to the firmware/ hboot. But yea, PC36IMG is easier.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046764 < 3.70 RUU, rename to PC36IMG, flash in the bootloader.

Yeah pri's usually don't change if its already been updated based on my experience. Give it a little time to settle in then try to update the HTC software from settings.

Try rebooting the phone, and then a software/firmware update,
@Dirk, I believe its the buyer of the phone.
Still nothing... I have been on the phone with them forever.
Now getting an error code 97
Im about ready to just go nuts on this poor customer service guy... They love to try the same thing OVER AND OVER AND OVER again lol
Just an update, everything is GOOD TO GO!
Unfortunately I will have to meet the buyer tomorrow now but o well.
Sprint added security features recently on the network that when a phone is reset/updated (all the above) the network won't just let a phone fully activate. My phone wouldn't make or receive calls and texts, but they fixed it and everything is good. This is probably something good to know for those unrooting and selling for the 3d!
My only issue, I can't get the phone to recognize the update. Im on 2.2 right now and it won't see the 2.3 update at all.
