I have S-On and im flashing ROM's without any problems.
Oh god. Freakin' lazy people. Figure things out yourself. There is so much information around here. Do you even know how to boot in recovery? Or do you know what a recovery is?
I suggest you figure that out first. I don't get the feeling (while reading your post) that you understand what you are doing..

Chill out. OP has already asked the question in another (linked by armitage) thread, had it answered, BUT entered a time warp which led to the same question being posted again.

Oh sorry man, my fault. You are totally right.
I thought this was his main thread, you know. That he opened ANOTHER thread with the same question.
But still. The information regarding his question is on XDA. When you first come here, you have to read very much.
Not that I'm for a long time on XDA. I just joined. But I rooted, S-OFF'd, installed a custom HBOOT just by reading threads on this forum. You know what I mean? Threads like this just pollute a forum like XDA. But that's just my point of view.

My has the issue of the "rising Screen" or Glass separation. Thinking that sprint would verify some information from my phone I updated the phone with the most recent RUU from sprint. This has given me:
HBoot .93.0000000
Android 2.2
Software: 3.26.651.6
Basband: 2.15.00.07.28
I have searched the forums, but I a not finding a root process for this version of the EVO, nor am I able to downgrade the Hboot to anything root-able.
Am I stuck for a little bit? Or is there a magical way to completely blank out the phone and start over with the shipped rom 1.39..
Thank you to all the Devs for the hardwork done so far.
Sprint would do nothing for the Glass separation, Since it is only cosmetic issue there was not thing to be done. I was given HTC's number.
lol prepare to be flamed. Find the RUU for 1.47 and try running that from fastboot mode. It won't work, but do it anyway and if it does work, post back here.
Next time, please do a search, or at least post questions in Q/A. This has been asked and answered a thousand times today.
lets turn this thread into face palm pics lol.
Im just busting your balls but nothing will fix your issue and sprint stores wont care.

Thanks for the Idea, I will try to give it a whirl. Sorry that I didn't place this in Q/A, most of the activity seems to be in the dev section. But I did mentioned that I searched, I was unable to locate anyone asking how to downgrade from .93 HBOOT to .76.000. I am new to Android so from time to time I will need assistance. I don't seem understand the requirement to ridicule users from asking a question. I highly doubt 1000 people posted the question about reverting from the latest RUU.
MODS this can be moved to the Q/A section.
Hey, its been a while since ive checked the forums and the progress of everything, and am really glad to see what I've come back to. Im very impressed with the progress so far. I just did the Unrevoked forever last night and now have s-off. My question or concern is...
Currently my phone has the original stock 2.1-update 1 firmware, with original stock rom. I am running the Hydra kernal v0.7 overclock with undervolt 1.113 w/n. My H-boot is 0.77.0000 and radio is at 1.00.03.04.06 with custom recovery 2.5.0.5.
I'd like to upgrade my radio to the 2.15xxxxx but im not sure if the kernal will work with it or what steps I should do first. Should I load the lastest kernal the way my phone is now, and then flash the radio? Or do I need to be running a 2.2 froyo rom first? Im not sure what exactly is compatible. I would have liked to wait for the ota but its taking forever and I want to try out froyo. Thanks.
I'd probably start off by doing some research and read all the 8 biazillion threads already open like this and then next make a note to post in the general section next time instead of development.
kthxbye

yup looks like I'm a jerk along with the 2 other ppl that posted above as well
OP... I had issues with the 2.15 radio, .92 hboot and .29 kernel.(landed me on the ozzeh wall of bricks ) If i remember correctly leave the Hboot alone and you'll be good. If I am wrong, someone chime in.

I guess we'll have to wait it out and see. I thought I was being specific and it would have been a simple answer. I guess more and more threads might just pop up on this then.
The way I went from stock to Sky Raider 2.5 was:
Install new rom, kernel, radio update.
I did this all at once, but you don't need to do the kernel update right away. Right now I've using Sky Raider 2.5.2 Sense and it's pretty awesome. Good luck to you and remember to nandroid backup. Backups never hurt anyone!
I'm looking at different ROM's and some say you need this HBOOT or that HBOOT but to be honest I haven't got a clue about HBOOT's so I'm worried about messing up/bricking my phone.
I successfully S-Off'd a couple of days ago and on the recovery screen I noticed that my HBOOT had changed (see sig). Many of the ROM's I like state CM7 HBOOT but how do I know if I have the CM7 HBOOT or not? Also, if I do have it, or later flash it (if that's what you do with it), can I use other ROM's that don't need the CM7 HBOOT or will I have to "downgrade"?
Wrong section dude. This is dev section. Try in Q&A.
I have a feeling that this is the sort of thing that is meant to be posted in the questions and answers section of the forum.
You can see the HBOOT you have by booting into the bootloader by pressing the down volume key and the power button on your phone. It will say up the top in that menu. Always go with which HBOOT the developer of the ROM I want to use suggests, in my opinion.

Doh! Apologies for posting in the wrong forum. I was reading a thread in this forum and just forgot.
I'll repost.

This made my day!
Hi - first of all, to make it clear, I'm kind of noob.
So .. I got my HTC Desire (GSM) with Leedroid ROM atm. I want to change to Cyangenmod, but I'm a little confused now.
I have tried to get help at the wiki, but I'm not completely sure what to do.
I've followed step 1's advice "Before you do anything - make a backup", of course, and this should be fine.
However, I am not sure about step 2: "Gaining S-OFF & Installing a Custom Recovery Image". My phone is rooted with unrevoked, like half a year ago. I don't know anything about S-OFF and custom recovery image. I've tried to search Google, but it didn't really help.
I dunno if I have to just follow step 2 anyways, even though my phone is rooted, or I just have to proceed to step 3?
I actually tried to follow step 3 "Method via ROM Manager", but it didn't help at all. ROM Manager downloaded Cyangenmod 7.1 and installed it (well, it looked that way), but then I ended up at a black screen with green letters. I just pressed "press to reboot" since I thought the Cyangenmod was installed on my phone, but nothing have happened. Same Leedroid ROM when the phone rebooted.
I hope you're able to help me. Please tell me if you need more info from somewhere!
Some info from recovery mode:
Bravo PVT3 ship s-on
HBOOT-0.93.0001
Microp-051d
Touch panel-synt0101
Radio-5.09.05.30_2
Best regards
/Hamduden
AND btw, I'm sorry if I could have figured out by searching the forum, but I think it's a bit confusing with all the links, threads, abbreviations etc.
You're already rooted, so no need to re-root.

ps: Cyanogenmod wiki makes life hard. Don't bother with it. There's good guides here in the dev section you should read.

Thank you zedmarcus!
So I'll just have to:
1: flash the CM7 ROM you linked to, from recovery mode (Volume down + power off/on button)
2: download and flash the new Radio afterwards
Right?
@Terepin:
Your "Thanks Meter" is not going to rise from that useless comment!
Full wipe before the flash.
Don't worry too much about the radio. If the phone works well after CM7 is installed, then just leave as it is.

I followed the guide, and the phone seems to work perfectly! Thank you so much.
However, I can't seem to get my 3G to work. Do you know anything about this?
And concerning the radio. When would I want to flash the new radio? When the ROM someday starts to get laggy/anoying/something?

Nah, you're just a tough guy, apparently.
Cut the crap next time, and I don't care if you're V.I.P.
Truth hurts, doesn't it?
I'm still new to this, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I can't seem to find a straight answer in other posts.
I have a VZW Htc One and I used rumrunner successfully when i was still on 4.2. Being new to rooting,etc. I wasn't thinking about the OTA update and accepted it.
I lost root according to the Root Checker app (and titanium backup says I do not have root access). When I boot to the bootloader, it shows
*** Unlocked ***
M7_WLV PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
Hboot 1.55.0000
Radio-1.12.41.1112_2
OS-2.10.605.1
My question is will the instructions on this thread still work to regain root?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417043
If not, do I need to wait for the new rumrunner from beaups or is there another way?
If you are still S-OFF and Unlocked just push a custom recovery via fastboot and you can install SU from there. Or just flash a custom rom that is already rooted.

Great. Thank you. Is TWRP the consensus choice for recovery?

Whoops auto correct. Hope u understand! Lol
So is the only reason I can't post in the developer's forum is because I don't have 10 posts and therefore could potentially be a spammer?

Yeah, or being a new forum member, they may not know or bother to search for answers to their questions before asking ones that have been answered already.
Unfortunately many users still haven't learned this after hundereds of posts, lol.
But yeah, that is the basic idea why.
Thanks Santod. I swear I had an account on here with a bunch of posts - because you helped me with my Thunderbolt a couple years ago - but I guess not.
People like you make this place worthwhile. Glad to see you're still contributing.
