I have been searching the web for how to relock my EVO. This is because i am taking it back to sprint for a screen fix and I have learned from the PPCGEEKS thread all the problems and warranty stuff related to rooting as well as the odds of them discovering that I have rooted it. I just don't want to risk it and I would like to know how to relock, just for the knowledge.
Does anyone have specific instructions how??

Download first and last, and flash in the same sequence.
So thats all?? its done? It's unrooted? That seems simple.
Yep, that's how easy it is.
On some phones (one out 5 I "control") I had to get all 3 and flash in the same sequence, otherwise last one wouldn't flash over the first - not sure why.

that surprises me. the latest RUU should flash over anything *theoretically*.
what error did it give you when you attempted?
yes, it should be easy to restore the phone to stock. think of all their service departments fixing/refurb'n phones. one simple flash and its all completely stock no matter what was loaded before.
for those more technically included, since this is the dev board, if the eng build RUU is loaded the PRI is downgraded and as of now, no currently released RUU is able to upgrade the PRI ... but thats such a small issue, can almost guarantee nobody will notice.
Damn screen... I have to do the same thing, and just one other question, besides those files I will just have to use Htc Sync to flash them right?

Those RUUs are just exe files. So sync will provide you with drivers yes, but after downloading you just run from that download with your phone plugged in.
wow after reading that thread on ppcgeeks i dont think i ever want to leave xda! must be a young crowd over there. i ran the latest 1.47 RUU that i downloaded from HTC before I returned my phone. much to my surprise they didn't even take the phone out of the box! still, since it only takes 10 minutes might as well do it.

whats the point in running all 3 on a phone you are returning? just running the first one is good enough to unroot and restore to stock. i only ran the most recent one, because i had already upgraded the baseband and was unable to run the earlier ones because of it.

I was surprised too when I tried first.
The 1.47 RUU just sat on the "waiting for bootloader" screen and timed out after ~90 seconds, "unable to find phone" (tried multiple times) and the screen would get stuck in white bootloader/RUU message (battery pull required) - so i am guessing 0.76.2 bootloader was too low for it. That was flashing from 3.2.2+ DamageControl ROM, didn't try from any other one, since the DC -> 1.36 -> 1.47 stock worked well.
And yes, the PRI caveat is there, but as joeykrim said, that's minor, plus you can always say "PRI what - huh?", right?

Running latest OTA makes you seem more of a "dumb user" who wouldn't even know what root is?

No. RUUs are handled differently. You download the file. And run it on your computer with the phone plugged in. It does everything for you. You DO NOT flash these via recovery.
Update on my phone
I took it to the sprint store yesterday and against everything I have heard the guy at the store turned my phone and checked it. Thank god I used redsolar's posted method. I must have the appearance of someone who would root there phone. It passed his inspection, luckily.
Thanks for the help
I rooted with the new Simpleroot OTA Edition, with Fresh Rom 053, and RA-Rec.
I'm trying to start over from stock so I can re-root my phone, but I can't get the RUU's to work. The oldest one will actually try and put the phone in bootloader, but while its waiting for bootloader it eventually just stops and gives me the 170 error, usb connector problem.
So is there any other way to go about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ya what I do is replug the usb coord then try ruu again while the phone is stuck on the HTC sign,then if that doesn't work I just manually go into bootloader myself (power+volume down) then use the ruu.exe, works everytime but then it tells me my current version is not valid, so if you ota'd you probably won't ever be able to go back to 1.32.651.1/.6 stock but you can just use the new 1.47.651.1 ruu to regain stock after ota.

Thanks a **** load Tundricles, you saved my ass.
I was getting so pissed, I'd run the RUU and once it got to opening the bootloader on my phone it was get frozen on the HTC screen, and the RUU would get the use connection error. So I unplugged my phone, and noticed it was in the bootloader, but if the usb was plugged in, it wouldn't show the bootloader screen for some reason. So I just plugged it back in and started the RUU back up, it instantly went past the "Waiting for bootloader..." message and started updating.
Thank you, and for anyone else having similar problems, READ THIS!
Flashing the RUU doesn't restore the stock recovery does it?
I ran Unrevoked 2 a while back and I have RUU'd but I'm pretty sure Clockwork Mod is still there.

np glad I could help
Sorry if re-post....trying to figure it out for a couple of days already but still no success
So I did the OTA update for Uncapped FPS. I know that it removes the "root" superuser access.
So after successfully installing the OTA update, I ran Unrevoked 3.21
While running Unrevoked I get the error Internal error: couldn't find misc.
NOTE: I searched and saw a couple of suggestions
1. Install HTC sync and uninstall it again. -Didn't work
2. Use Disk drive instead of Charge only. - Didn't work
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
The updates from Sprint are rooted by developers. You have to wait until they do it and NEVER update from Sprint.
Chances are the unrevoked team will update their files so you could root 3. 29. And the usually move quickly.

I just guinea pig volunteered myself to try Unrevoked with the new OTA, and it worked just fine for me!
However, I did have root prior, but I used the S-ON tool, and then ran the RUU to 3.26.651.6, I had wiped my entire phone coming from FreshEVO 3.3.0.1.
I also used AmonRA's 1.8 recovery instead of CWmod.
Your mileage may vary, I suppose.

Mine was rooted before. I didn't install any custom ROMs. Then I ran the OTA. Now when I run Unrevoked, it gives me the "Internal error: couldn't find misc"
The weird thing is that I did it on 3 evos and the other 2 worked just fine.

have you solved? i have the same problem with a Desire
I am still getting:"Internal error: Could not find misc." on 3.21 . My HBOOT is .97. is that the issue?
no one has fingered this out yet?
just got my evo today, had 2.2 pre-installed.
i'm getting the same error.
uninstalled htc sync, tried it on 2 different computers, no go.
it usually gets to where (i assume) it's supposed to reboot into the new recovery and ends up booting all the way into sense. manually rebooting it after that and doing the hboot thing as it asks leads to the error mentioned here.
right now i'm trying it with a clean sd card, doesn't seem like it'd make a difference but it's worth a shot.

I'm having the same error as well. I was able to downgrade to 2.1, but still no unrevoked yet.... I just got my Evo 2 days ago.
Same error here as well. I have all the new drivers, installed/uninstalled HTC Sync, stock 2.2 on 4 day old Evo.

Same problem. Direct from sprint, came with 2.2. Followed the instructions, booted all the way through so i manually rebooted and did HBOOT and received "Internal Error: couldnt find misc."
Im not sure if its any different but my Evo happens to be white.. must be a new thing?
Anyone else have any ideas on this? Just received a new evo today, came with 2.2 on the phone which is nice, but can't root it. Was hoping to put cyanogen onto the phone.
I picked up a Desire from Telus yesterday and it (unrevoked) worked, however... I wanted to reflash the recovery image to amon ra (more features) and today I get the error "couldn't find misc".
I rooted my EVO last night and with my luck, the earpiece speaker blew today. I have to take it in for an exchange.
Here is my current situation:
I ran unrevoked-forever-son.zip so my phone is SON right now.
My current radio version is 2.15.00.09.01
My current image version is 3.29.651.5
I have hardware version 3
Android 2.2
Everything is completely functional other than the earpiece speaker.
Here is what I did:
Last night:
I used Unrevoked 3.21 to root it. It rooted fine. I installed WiFi Tether and tested it and it worked great. That is the only app I have installed since the root.
Today:
Speaker crapped out on me during the day.
I came home from work and followed the instructions here: www(dot)thedroiddemos(dot)com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=13&p=115#p115
The SON program ran fine. But when I tried to load the PC36IMG.zip file from the SD card, it responded with a "main is older" error and would not install it.
So then, I went here: forum(dot)xda-developers(dot)com/showthread.php?t=721843. It told me to go to shipped-roms.com to get files that would automatically unroot my phone.
I tried the earliest one and it got all the way to the end and gave me error 140: Bootloader version error. I got the same thing with the second and third oldest.
Both of the most recent files for the the "Waiting for bootloader" error and froze, giving me the dreaded 170 USB error.
I also tried letting it get to the HTC screen and then restarting the RUU program as directed in the XDA post mentioned above. It always led to the 170 error.
I am wits end. I have a 7 day old phone that I can't use until I somehow unroot it and exchange it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Are you returning it to Sprint or directly to HTC? Chances are, if you just put a stock ROM on it & just use adb or Root Explorer to remove SuperUser.apk they're not even going to realize it's rooted.
Also, this really goes in Q&A, not Development.
Welcome to the forums!
I am returning it to Sprint. Sorry about putting this in the wrong place. I will move it over to Q&A immediately. I was trying to put a stock ROM on it with the above procedures. I just wasn't able to do it.
Thanks for the advice.
Go to this thread and run the RUU. You are unrooted and completely reset. Just make sure you use the S-ON tool from unrevoked.

Do you have HTC Sync installed? It looks like that error was coming up for users that didn't have the latest version / wasn't installed.
No, I uninstalled it to do the root. I am installing it again now. Thank you.

Well, I reinstalled HTC Sync and the ROM flashed just fine. This ROM reflashed everything. There is no evidence of root whatsover! I did have to set the entire phone back up, but that was well worth it! Thanks to Veritas06 and Cosine for helping me out.
I bought an unbranded/unlocked Desire a few days ago, and it had Froyo preinstalled.
It REFUSES to connect to HTC Sync, and it seems impossible to root using unrevoked too (i've tried Vista, Win7 and Ubuntu). All without success. I have tried EVERY method/guide/tutorial out there.
So my question is this. HOW DO I ROOT?!
I'm thinking of using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
And then using unrevoked on the stock 2.1, but in that thread it says
Update:
The new version of unrevoked3 (3.21) can now root froyo ROMs directly, and a downgrade is no longer necessary if you just want to root and install custom recovery, although there appear to be a few issues with this new release. If you want to rebrand/debrand your phone, rooting won't achieve this and you can use this method instead. If you cannot get the new version of unrevoked3 to work you can also run this and use the older version (3.14) that works with Android 2.1.

So i have no garauntee that unrevoked will work on 2.1 either, and i'm not downgrading for no reason.

Does it have a new H-boot that unrevoked cant do yet? What is the H-boot on the phone?
Does unrevoked come up with any errors? Have you instaleed the correct drivers, adb for it?
What is your hboot #?
Power off, press down volume and power on should tell you at the top.
Then check the sticky topics, at the top of dev section, as they have solved newest hboot problems.
Ps this is best for the q&a section, good luck, and sure we'll all try and help.
Desire is the source of all suffering.
HBOOT number is 0.93, take it this is too new?
The non-connection to HTC Sync worries me, if it wont connect to the manufacturers software, what is there to make me think it will work with anything else?
Don't quote me on this but unrevocked should work on 0.93,
Best is to get suck into this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709146&highlight=unrevocked
And see how you do.
Goes through the whole deal with drivers etc.
Do you have ADB yet? because you can use adb devices to check to see if your desire is connecting to your computer, but as cjm1979 said you need to get latest drivers from the adb, but seem to remember you have to uninstall htcsync anyway to use unrevocked. But it should all be there in that guide.
But getting adb and drivers is important.
> Uninstall HTC sync 3.x version from your windows box and install 2.x version and then try it ( Important: Disable any firewall/antivirus tools when doing it)
The latest version of unrevoked should work.
Just found this in the unrevocked topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725738&highlight=solved&page=36
My HBOOT version is 0.93.0001
Follow the instruction to unrevoked,f after installed the HBOOT driver and enable USB debug, run unrevoked as administrator and connection "charging only",
the unrevoked still not start as follow, any idea?
Solved: I never install HTC sync.
Read all post found similar situation and I install and uninstall HTC sync. Problem resolved.
Never used htcsync for myself anyway.
Ok guys, i found the problem.
This is embarassing, But i forgot to uninstall DroidExplorer which unknown to me, was cocking it all up silently. Uninstalled that, ran unrevoked and it looks to be working, i'm currently on the ClockworkMod recovery screen. Yeah, all working now, and i should be rooted now.
Am i correct in saying that since the phone was unlocked/unbranded, i can now just whack an update.zip on my SD and flash it? Or is there anything else to be done before that (I know enough to do a Nandroid backup before that step)?
Thank you all for helping an idiot solve his non-problem!
I've uninstalled Sync, moved the drivers to system32, ran unrevoked as admin, ran it in compatibility mode, nothing. All required drivers/softwares/fairy dust is present. I really have tried nearly everything listed on tutorials. I've damn near broken googles servers just searching for a fix!
You don't copy any drivers, HTC sync installs in 2 parts - the program and the drivers.
Once installed, go into Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the program but leave the drivers. This works fine
Then make sure unrEVOked is running BEFORE you connect your phone, and make sure USB Debugging is enabled on the phone
One of the tuts i read said movng the drivers to system32 might help, but did it hell. I'm all rooted now, just installed TitaniumBackup, is it meant to ask for permissions 2000 times every time i do something? It just asked me about 20 times O.O

Reboot your phone, that way when it starts, nothing is running. Then run unrevoked after going through my instructions.
Make sure you download the newest version of unrevoked, I think its up to 3.2 or 3.3 now. Unrevoked 3 is out of date.

I don't know which version of unrevoked you're using, but make sure you're using the newest one as somebody else mentioned. If you're using the version that you used to root previously, uninstall it & install the newest version. If that doesn't work, there are other methods to root.

his procedure is pretty thorough and has specific instructions for various HW versions and HBOOT versions. it seems to me if you followed it to the letter you would very likely have success.
