Cant get the splash screen to take. When in cmd in my sdk\tools, and I fastboot flash splas1.... it keeps telling me failed. Signature verify fail, whats going wrong, PLEASE HELP.
How did you root the device?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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.

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.

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.

RavenFB said:
So, you've seen those new Sense 3.0 ROMs floating around, but haven't had an opportunity to try them yet? Well, I've developed a simplified method for getting you rolling with Virtuous Unity 1.31. Of course, after you have installed the DZ Hboot, you can install any Sense 3.0 ROM you wish, even though this guide is specifically for Unity.
This guide will show you how to install the DZ Hboot, and the Virtuous Unity ROM, with out using adb or a computer. The entire process is done on the phone.
First, let me thank the Virtuous dev team responsible for this gem of a ROM. Excellent work, and we tip our hats.
Now, this installation requires the following:
A rooted G2 with Clockwork Recovery 3.0.2.4.
Two MicroSD cards.
Optional: WiFi access, Tapatalk and Opera Mobile, installed internally. Opera makes downloading the required files much more reliable, and it can be easier using TT to browse this page.
The first thing you should do is stop by www.VirtuousRom.com, and check things out there. The Unity ROM and the OC frequency patch come from their website, and I firmly believe in giving credit where it is due.
Once you are ready to begin, download Unity 1.31 from this link, preferably via WiFi. This beast is about 400MBs, so be you may not want to deal with cellular speeds. You can also find this ROM on RomManager, if you prefer, under the Virtuous tab.
http://www.multiupload.com/TS4IAWJVMZ
Once that has finished, you should download the OC Frequency patch. You may not need it, but you definitely want to have it already downloaded if it is needed.
http://unity.flemmard.net/patches/virtuous_unity-ocfreq-patch.zip
You will also want to download a good radio to use, since the DZ Hboot will overwrite your current radio. This is the most current compatible radio:
http://www.mediafire.com/?r1tal256p11uzyz
Once you have finished downloading these files, use a file manager (ES File Manager or Astro, etc) to check the SDCard root (/sdcard/) to make sure there is no file named PC10IMG.zip located there. I'll explain why shortly. After you have confirmed this, shut off your phone, remove the battery, remove the SDCard, and insert the second card. Replace the battery, and reboot.
After the phone is running again, you need to download this file: http://db.tt/uCHeUDp If the link stops working, please PM me so I can upload the file to an alternative service, as this is from my personal Dropbox.
When the download finishes, use a file manager, and find /download/DZHboot_PC10IMG.zip. Copy/paste it to the root of your SDCard, and then rename it PC10IMG.zip.
A quick word about PC10IMG.zip: this file, when present on the root of your SDCard, will automatically be read by your bootloader. We want this to update your HBoot. However, the reason we DO NOT want a PC10IMG on the first card is because this file also prevents the bootloader from being able to enter recovery. This is why this method requires two cards. One to flash the HBoot, and one to enter recovery to flash a ROM. Once the HBoot flashes, it will wipe your phone, so you must have a ROM or backup to get it working again.
Reboot your phone into bootloader. If you have 3/4 way reboot, simply hold the power button while the phone is on, select reboot/restart, and select bootloader. If you do not have this feature, shut the phone off, then hold volume down+camera key, then press power. The bootloader will scan for updates, and will then prompt you if you wish to apply the update. Press volume up to accept this prompt. Do not turn the phone off or remove the battery while this process is engaged! When it is complete, you will be prompted to reboot the phone. Do so. You will notice that your phone is "stuck" at the white HTC bootsplash, even if you have flashed a different splash image. This is normal.
Remove the battery. Remove the SDCard, and insert the first card. Boot into the bootloader, and then volume-down to recovery, and press power. While the phone has technically been "wiped", there is the possibility of remaining bits of info in the memory, so it is good practice to perform a complete wipe. Scroll down to "mounts and storage", and select the following options: "format /cache, format /data, and format /system." DO NOT format /sdcard!!!
Now press the back key to return to the main screen, and select "install a .zip from SDCard". You can find Virtuous Unity in the /download folder if you downloaded from your web browser, or /clockworkmod/downloads/ if you used RomManager. Select the Unity zip file, and install it. Once this is done, press the back key to the main menu, select "reboot device".
Once the G2 has started up, you may experience lockups. This is a known bug with the G2 related to overclocking. If it happens, reboot into bootloader, enter the recovery, and flash /download/virtuous_unity-ocfreq-patch.zip. This should fix the problem!
Last step: open a file manager, and find the radio file you downloaded earlier. It should be in /download, and is a .zip named Vision Radio 12.56.60.25 26.10.04.03 PC10IMG.zip. Copy/Paste to the root of your SDCard (which we can do now that the phone is working again!) And then rename it PC10IMG.zip Reboot one last time into bootloader, and again press volume up to accept the update. When it is done, reboot the phone as prompted. Delete the PC10IMG.zip files from the root of each SDCard, and you are done! Enjoy!
Hope you find this helpful!
EDIT: Updated the DB link to the Hboot.

Perhaps it didn't download properly. Reboot and re download. Delete previous version and move new DZ hboot to the root (not in any folders) of your SD. Be sure you've named it PC10IMG.zip and not PC10IMG.zip.zip. The zip part is added automatically so you shouldn't need to enter it yourself. Then reboot into bootloader and try again.

Hmm... what about posting in the thread with the guide you're trying to follow? The user who wrote the it seems like he/she would be really helpful. Also, if you can get ADB installed, this is a super easy guide to use for the DZ Hboot:

But first and foremost I'd PM the user that wrote the guide you're trying to use... but that's just me. Good luck.

So your purpose is to obtain the DZ eng hboot without using a PC... meaning without ADB, right? Because there are other ways to do this... they require a PC, but if it's that important to you you should download the Android SDK.
There's a really clear/great guide here.
Maybe contact some of the Virtuous guys like cjward23... he's really knowledgable. I don't know why in the world the file isn't being recognized by your phone.
One strange thing I encountered... my phone wouldn't recognize the PC10IMG file unless I booted into bootloader from the phone off, using volume down + power button. This may have been a fluke, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Well CM7 is the ROM typically being run when phones enter the bootloop of death. However, I've heard that there have been a couple of MIUI ROMs that have entered the bootloop of death as well. If you've flash a recovery and still cant enter it and tried to fully unroot then you might have to take it to Sprint. I'd make sure that you're fully unrooted before doing so. I would also recommend removing your SD card so that they cant try to deny you based on rooting the phone. Just a precaution.

Fortunately, I already got a new phone but the reason I didn't take it into Sprint was because it still was S-off. Since I can't get to recovery, how would I get s-on?
And now that I ran stock ruu's, is it a possibility that the PC36IMG.zip's won't be recognized anymore?
I'd love to get this phone running again and let my 7 year play some games on it but I'm afraid I may be sol!!

Well you said you tried flashing via PC36IMG, and it 'worked' but it didn't stick, i.e it didn't 'work'. What you can do is extract the boot.img from the rom / ruu, place it in your adb tools folder. Then boot the phone to the bootloader, select fastboot, connect to your pc via usb cable, open up command prompt, navigate to you adb tools folder and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
That will flash the boot image to the correct partition, then reboot the phone, and see if it boots up.

Fortunately, I already got a new phone but the reason I didn't take it into Sprint was because it still was S-off. Since I can't get to recovery, how would I get s-on?
And now that I ran stock ruu's, is it a possibility that the PC36IMG.zip's won't be recognized anymore?
I'd love to get this phone running again and let my 7 year play some games on it but I'm afraid I may be sol!!

Thanks for the info! I will give this a go.
I keep reading that the NV got corrupted some how, is there any way to correct this or flash something in fastboot?
Again thanks for your input, much appreciated!

No problem.
And if the NV is corrupted, its toast. It was a flaw with the evo when you bought it, and now its decide to tap out. At that point you'd have to take it to sprint, as the NV is part of flash memory and its locked.

Thanks for this, hopefully if I can't get the boot.img working from ruu, I will do this!

Oh crap I forgot you were the one having the issue with the boot.img. If you can't get that to work then the post I gave you will most likely not work either. It's worth a try....but I doubt it.

Well sh**, that's a downer! If this is the case, I'm definitely sol! But hopefully I can get something out of the phone but I seriously doubt it!
Thanks guys for your input, again much appreciated. I will report back if I have any breakthrough!!

No luck!
I know someone posted the EVO Brick_fix, I believe cutthroat but since no PC36IMG.ZIP is being recognized on my sdcard. I may officially say my phone is toast.
Any other suggestions are welcome!

Is this normal? I can run any stock ruu and my hboot changes! I was on 2.16 but I ran the froyo ruu and now I'm back to 2.10
Any thoughts?

Did you unbrick your EVO
I tried to use unbrick method and now phone will not boot at all
It just stays at black screen and vibrates once after pressing the power button
