I want to unroot my phone so i can update to the gingerbread OTA and i need the latest PC36IMG.zip. anyone know where i can find one or post a link for me? Thanks in advance, really looking forward to updating.
why are you going to unroot your device when they have already posted the odexed and deodexed versions of the Rom
Not to mention, the bootloader is locked in the OTA, so do NOT unroot
Unrooting doesn't get rid of S-Off so as long as you have S-Off and you flash the OTA you can always save yourself
thanks, saved me from unrooting, i already downloaded unrevoked s-on and s-off tool but luckily you replied before i used it. I know, im a noob. im new to this stuff ^__^ but before i download the rom, whats the difference between odexed and de-odexed?

With todays rumored start of the OTA for the Dinc I have a question as to how to go about things. When the leaked 2.2 came out I flashed my radio and updated to the leaked 2.2, had the typical problems everyone else did but instead of going through all of the fixes went back to stock 2.1. So I'm back to firmware 2.1-update1 baseband 1.000.03.04.06. My question is this. Unrevoked posted a tweet last night/early this morning saying to be sure to use Unrevoked Forever before any OTAs. So, at risk of goofing something up what steps do I need to take to be ready for the OTA?
Root using Unrevoked 3.1
Use Unrevoked Forever
Wait for OTA
Sound about right? But if I do those things will I be able to apply the OTA without issue? Or is the general idea to not apply 2.2 until Unrevoked has come out with a modified 2.2 OTA. I'm honestly not too worried about root as I know that Unrevoked will eventually, if not soon after the update, come out with something for rooting 2.2.
Also, if I do these things and return to Stock, S-ON will be there still, can I then take the update normally without issue, then simply wait on Unrevoked to root 2.2? So many things going on, not sure which way to go.
I looked over the forums and didn't see any similar questions being asked, so if I missed something please disregard.
You need to have s-off before you apply the 2.2 OTA update or you will loose Root perm until they figure out a way to reroot. If you have S-off even if you take a OTA that has not been rooted, you can simply flash a new recovery that allows you to install su, and use that to restore yourself to a fully rooted system.
I got this information from http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever I take no credit for it.
The steps you described will enable you to root after the OTA update. Just make sure that you have the latest radio before you update.
Keep in mind that there is currently no way to revert from s-off at the moment so if your goal is to have a 2.2 factory image, just sit tight and wait for the update.

OK, forgive the stupid question. It's early, I didn't sleep, so I NEED to run Unrevoked Forever, period, before the OTA, otherwise I'm at the mercy of someone discovering a root method for 2.2, which may or may not take forever, yea?
Yes that is what I have read that the 2.2 OTA will plug up the current root process just like it did for the EVO.
If you want root, you install unrevoked forever.
If you are worried about being able to revert to stock image for warranty reasons or otherwise, check Berzerker7's post in the development thread to downgrade. According to him you will have stock and VZW techs dont have a way for checking for s-off

Now all we need is the OTA.
I am a bit confused. I am urnning radio 2.15 (latest) with SkyRaider 2.5.2 and Clockwork recovery and S-OFF.
How do i go about getting stock radio and stock ROM? Also, can the stock rom be rooted or no when flashing OTA?
Thanks!

Read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=757927 to revert back to the stock radio and stock ROM. As you have S-OFF once you have intalled the OTA then just flash the custom recovery that Unrevoked has supplied http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever and apply SU and then you are rooted again.

Well if HBOOT still runs, they can just power it up and look for it to say S-OFF at the top.
Yup

This is the dilemma ... I honestly do not know what I intend to do.
Can anyone help me. I made a nandroid backup of stock when I only had Unrevoked 3, then I did another backup of my Skyraider with all custom images and the works.
I would like to return to stock, but keep S-OFF so I can go through with the OTA. Can someone explain how I could do that why keeping S-OFF.
And how I can get Root access again after flashing the OTA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766361
you just need to get stock recovery and then u can run the RUU to upgrade.
And then when I get to the lastest I can install clockwork again?
I have another off topic question about Skyraider, when he updates it with the official Froyo release, will I have to wipe everything to upgrade? or will it beable to just update over mine similiar to how HTC is rolling the update.

I would suggest using the official ota leak rom. It is exactly the same, with root already done. plus it is deodexed so you can theme!
But if I restore with my nandroid backup that I made after I rooted with unrEVOked 3, will I lose my S-OFF?
Not positive, but I believe you will keep S-Off but just lose root.
The ONLY way to turn s-off to s-on is by unrevoked s-on new release. that's the beauty of it, no ROM without root with take your rooting abilities away like the OTA, if you didn't have s-off.
Hey guys my phone is all updated with the new OTA and the new PRI and stuff too. I was just curious as to which file I need to run from shipped roms to unroot, I need to take it in to Sprint for various reasons. And also do you know if I unroot if I will be able to root again after things get resolved with the new OTA being released? UnRevoked or the Regaw method?
If you rooted with Unrevoked Forever, run S-Off, then run the latest RUU.
If you rooted with regular unrevoked or toastch, just run the latest RUU.
RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.40_release_140444_signed.exe
or.....
RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.71_003_release_147044_signed.exe
I realize the 2nd is the latest one but would it hurt to flash with the first one.. I want to make sure I can root again after they look at my phone or if they give me a new one that I can root it..
Flashed S-On from Unrevoked and then the 1st RUU ran flawless. Thanks again now i just hope that I will be able to obtain root again.

To get the stock stuff just run the latest RUU. Please note that the latest OTA update is currently NOT rootable. I'm not sure if flashing an RUU put your phone back to "s-on". You may want to try running the latest 2.2 based RUU first since that can be rooted. Or maybe someone else can chime in and let you know if it is OK to run the RUU with "s-off" and not break the NAND unlock.
All RUU's can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs#Stock_ROMs
Good luck.
If you've updated OTA, you cannot run an older RUU. If you haven't, running the RUU will not change your s-off if you used unrevoked 3+ to root or if you flashed unrevoked forever (some other root methods use this for nand unlock). The RUUs are not rooted, but leaving s-off will allow you to reflash recovery and then flash a rooted rom.
If you're trying to fully unroot and go back to stock, you'll need to first flash the unrevoked s-on zip (assuming you used unrevoked) through recovery. You can then run an RUU from your computer or flash a PC36IMG.zip of the RUU through the bootloader. If you're attempting to unroot, look into one of the unrooting guides if you need more clarification. If you just want a stock setup but want to remain rooted, you can flash one of the stock rooted roms. If you're already on a stock rom you can just do a factory reset.

I rooted with revolutionary and wanted to know the quickest way to get s-on going to flash my stock back up because I'm upgrading my phone. Any help is really appreciated
y do you need to unroot to upgrade? are you trading your phone in?
Yea upgrading to evo 3d compliments of sprint
id say check out this thread. the key is to check that you have s-on, correct hboot version and KEEP you sd card as it will have different partitions, folders and files on it that if gone through can give it away.
