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.

are you talking about just using the volume down and power button method?

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
I was trying to update to the latest Myn Rom (RLS5) and I guess it went wrong because now when I boot up it loads up for a minute but then goes to black and then has 5 quick vibrations. then it just stays on black and blinks the green led. And that's it.
I can get to h-boot, but not recovery. I have:
S-On
Hboot: 0.93.0000
Radio 2.15.00.07.28
Since S-Off, it will need a signed PC36IMG.zip or something? I really don't know what to do here.
Thanks in advance for the help, you guys are great!
I would try flashing RA via bootloader as a PC36IMG.zip. If that doesnt work you could always run an RUU.

Does you have s-on or s-off? If S-ON then your nand is locked and you are not rooted
So I should be able to rename the De-odexed in this thread to PC36IMG.zip and go that route?

If you have a custom recovery still flash unrevoked forever, that well unlock your nand. Once that is unlocked you should be ok to continue.
Dots that update the hboot as well? If so that is probably what did it, otherwise you may have had an incomplete unrevoked root.

Is there a way to root without being able to get into the rom? I only have the hboot menu as an option of interacting with the system right now.
Still stuck here. I tried running Unrevoked3 again and there wasn't enough time for it to recognize the phone before it did the 5 vibrations and went to black and cut off the usb connection. I tried renaming the latest RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874091 to PC36IMG.zip and it did the same thing as before, the blue vertical progress bar reached the top, it said "Checking" and then after a minute or so it just went back to the regular first menu.
It sounds like the solution would be to get it rooted, but I need to find a way to do that without being into the rom or recovery.
You guys are a lot smarter then me when it comes to Android and fixing borked installs and updates. I know you guys can come up with a solution here, so thanks in advance.

When you renamed the file, did you actually add the ".zip" to the name? If so, the file is called PC36IMG.zip.zip and the bootloader won't see it. Just name it to PC36IMG and the .zip is added automatically.

Wow, what a relief to see it get past checking the rom and asking me if I want to update. Thank you so much! time to unrevoke and then unrevoke forever, so I won't have so many issues if this happens again.
Thanks everyone for your help. You guys are the best.
I had this same problem and couldn't ever figure it out. It would power on and the go black and vibrate 5 times. I ended up clearing my phone and going to Sprint to have it replaced. Glad you got yours all figured out.

So, I got the stock rom loaded, however I can't mount either of my microSd cards. and also when I try and install the OTA update from Sprint, it goes to black and does the 5 vibrations again. Also, unrevoked3 isn't working. Also, when I plug it into my computer it won't let me mount as a storage device.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks.

Is there another RUU I could try or another way to root that would get me access to recovery? Really not sure what to do but I'd hate to take it to Sprint and have to get a new one for this.
Thanks.

Sry to hear that. See if THIS helps.
oooh that sucks. you have to re-root (you can just use unrevoked 3 again), then put the unrevoked s-on tool (found in the FAQ section of this thread http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever ) on the root of your sdcard. boot into recovery, and flash it as you would a rom. then check bootloader to make sure it is s-on. if it is, run the ruu again.
just curious, why dont u like root?
I just tried to re-run Unrevoked 3 and it will not reconnect, the tool just says waiting for device.
And I don't like root because of too much power.

no, it wouldnt turn s-on, and you might not even be able to accept it. if you are having a hard time using unrevoked, seeing as your rom no longer has root permissions, i can lead you through manually flashing amon-ra recovery to your phone and you can flash ur s-on from there.
I just got it to root again using Unrevoked 3 and restored to right after my first root. I should be able to now install the S-on tool and install it from the recovery menu?

That is correct. Also, I'm pretty sure that since you were still S off, you could've just flashed a pc36img of a recovery from the bootloader, flashed the s on tool, and then ran RUU.
Edit : just saw that dk already suggested that. Sorry.

Update I figured it out and ran the S-on tool, booted into the bootloaded and verified it was back on. I then ran the RUU and it should be fully stock and ready to install the OTA?

sorry for leaving you in the dark for a while. that was one crazy day. but i'm at my comp now so i can help (not that there's anything left to do).
if i were you, i'd double check you are fully unrooted. boot into bootloader, and make sure you are s-on. then boot into recovery and make sure you have no custom recovery, just the stock htc one. also make sure your rom has no superuser app installed. if not, you are all good.
No prob man, I booted into the bootloader and S-On is back on and then tried to boot into recovery, a black screen with a red triangle came up so I assume there's no recovery installed. There is also no superuser Icon in the app draw.
The main reason I returned to stock is,is that this is my primary and only phone. I plan on getting the Nexus S when it come to sprint so I will see you guys again. That way if I bork the NS I got my trusty evo to activate.
Again thank you all for the help.

ok ya ur totally unrooted. enjoy the cage some prefer it there.
just saying, the evo is freaking hard to brick.
Hi all,
I rooted my evo 4G forever ago, but a friend of mine recently tried to root her phone and simply has the big exclamation mark on it now. I'm not sure what she did, but she's bringing it over tonight. I was wondering, does anyone have any idea what is needed to get that sucker back up and running?
Will it respond to the latest 1 click roots? unrevoked? simple root? what's the game plan?
If you get the exclamation mark when trying to get into recovery, that means you're rooted with no recovery. When she gets to the bootloader, is she s-off?
If s-off, then rooted, and then flash the file I attached in the bootloader. Place on sdcard, boot into the bootloader, apply update, reboot, reboot into recovery, then you'll be on amon_ra 2.4 recovery.
And for latest 1 click, unrevoked. Download the hboot drivers, install then uninstall htc sync, enable usb debugging on phone, from applications > development.
http://unrevoked.com/#evo
IF you can only get into the bootloader, phone not booting, ect, run the 3.70 RUU. Rename the file to PC36IMG, then place on the root of the sdcard, flash in the bootloader like previously. The RUU will return you to stock, unrooted; then you can root using unrevoked.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip
Thanks. She's dropping the phone off tonight. Now I've got the plan of what to do! I'll execute accordingly, and update if there's any odd snags, but I assume there will be none.
Thanks again.

Hello all, I'm in serious need of some help, I've been working at this for a couple of hours now and can't figure it out, so I turn to you, o mighty forum.
I have an HTC Incredible and I'm currently running MIUI and clockwork recovery mod. I've been having all kinds of problems lately, and I want to just delete everything on my phone and get it back to stock, the way it was when I turned it on for the first time out of the box. If anyone can help me get this done I will be forever grateful, because I'm at my wits end. I have no idea what to do, or where to start, so if anyone could provide me with a step-by-step instructions, I would be very happy.
Thank you

Ok then all you need to do is flash an ruu thru hboot.
Go here (http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22)and download the Gingerbread PB31IMG.zip
From the home screen of the phone hit Menu - Settings - Applications, and make sure fastboot is NOT checked.
Then go here (http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=79) to learn how to flash the ruu thru hboot.
If you have any issues i will be keeping an eye on the thread.
I think I tried this earlier but it didn't work due to something about a newer version already be installed. I'll keep you posted.

What android version are you on now? If its 4.08.605.2 then you will need to do the ruu exe with a pc. Its the first one on the pvillecomp link where the PB31IMG is.
To be totally honest I'm not sure. I tried using an RUU earlier but it kept saying my phone wasnt plugged in and it couldn't run, even though the phone was plugged in.

To do the ruu exe you need to have htc sync installed on your pc, to get the right drivers. Im not positive but you may need to remove the adb drivers first.
Baseband version: 2.15.00.07.28

Thats the problem your on a custom rom thats ported, and a higher android version than the latest stock ruu for the inc, so the ruu thinks yout trying to downgrade. Since your still on the correct radio needed for unrevoked to achieve s-off, i would reroot and s-off the phone with unrevoked, then flash a stock ota based inc rom (perferably 4.06.605.3), then go s-on again with the s-on patch, then do the ruu and it shouldnt give the firmware too new error anymore, and should get you back to complete stock.
What does that mean/how do I do it? I'm totally clueless here.

Go here (http://unrevoked.com/#inc) get the unrevoked program and run it to root your phone and get s-off again. Instructions are on that page for using it.
Then flash this rom thru clockworkmod recoveryrecovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1247253), and reboot.
Then flash the s-on tool thru recovery (http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever-son.zip)
Then do the PB31IMG.zip ruu again, it should work this time, and you will be complete stock.
Not exactly sure what's going on here. I used unrevoked 3 and got the original OS back on there, but when unrevoked runs, it asks if I want to install that PB31IMG file. I chose to not update with that and just reboot into recovery (which if I'm correct should be clockwork,) so I could flash that ROM, but when I reboot the device, I get a black screen wiith a picture of the phone and an ! in a red triangle. The unrevoked program just says "waiting for reboot..."

Go aheda and let unrevoked do the PB31IMG, that is the cwm recovery. The red triangle is still the stock recovery. Are you s-off now?
Nope, I'm still S-on. Not really sure what happened, but I have the original OS on the phone and from what I can tell, it's working fine. But I'm still S-on
I'm going to call it a night. I'll check this thread tomorrow when I get back from work and class. Thanks so much for all of your help so far.

Welk then you are stock just like the day you got it. If you want you can do the gingerbread ruu now, and it should not give the firmware too new error, ir you can stick with froyo, and at some point it will pop up with the latest ota to install.
Thanks so much, again. This was driving me crazy.
