Sold My Evo, Now To Unroot... - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

To my understanding I need to flash the Froyo radios in order to get S-ON correct?
I also have .97 hboot and will be running an RUU, any suggestions on which one I need to run?

Yes just flash the 11.19 radio from 3.70 froyo and flash s-on in recovery. After you update the radio and s-on just flash the pc36img.zip in bootloader and you'll be unrooted.
You can run the 3.70 ruu if you like.

Hopefully this works, I was going to run an older RUU but I suppose updating it would be easier to just do a more recent version. The guy who is buying it wants it stock anyways so I am just going to update it to the newest OTA.

If you can't get the ruu going I'll ink up the pc36img which is alot easier than ruu. Make sure you have htc sync installed or the ruu wont work. If you have problems just report back ill help out.

Its Mr, Yellow!
And the trick with the RUU is that you have to use the version corresponding to the firmware/ hboot. But yea, PC36IMG is easier.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046764 < 3.70 RUU, rename to PC36IMG, flash in the bootloader.

Yeah pri's usually don't change if its already been updated based on my experience. Give it a little time to settle in then try to update the HTC software from settings.

Try rebooting the phone, and then a software/firmware update,
@Dirk, I believe its the buyer of the phone.

Still nothing... I have been on the phone with them forever.
Now getting an error code 97
Im about ready to just go nuts on this poor customer service guy... They love to try the same thing OVER AND OVER AND OVER again lol

Just an update, everything is GOOD TO GO!
Unfortunately I will have to meet the buyer tomorrow now but o well.
Sprint added security features recently on the network that when a phone is reset/updated (all the above) the network won't just let a phone fully activate. My phone wouldn't make or receive calls and texts, but they fixed it and everything is good. This is probably something good to know for those unrooting and selling for the 3d!
My only issue, I can't get the phone to recognize the update. Im on 2.2 right now and it won't see the 2.3 update at all.

I dont think so unless you root.
I have tried the original roms from HTC (the RUU's) and none of them work... I think we might just have to wait till HTC releases their fix.
Are yall rooted, if so wait for rooted version. If not and running fridays release htc said they have a special method for these users
No luck in here yet!! Just wait with cup of coffe and donuts, lol. Until htc find a fix for the leaked 2.2

If only you could push the build.prop from 1.47.....The new .6 OTA would accept....that new hboot is a ***** my conclusion....If you have the eng-hboot, you are golden always...I downloaded .3 Leaked Froyo, pulled it onto the PC and changed only the hboot and the recovery images and left everything else the same; flashed, and then flashed su-e-unsecure.zip. EASY way to get the OTA's and maintain root.

Taking my phone in to the sprint store tomorrow.. how do i unroot?

So im going to take my phone in to the sprint store tomorrow because the camera is all grainy and messed up now. I tried to wipe it several times but its still grainy. Its probably from cyanogen and all the flashing but i cant tell. What are the steps i can take to go back to stock before i go there? How do i unroot and so on?

Go to the unrevoked site, download the s-on tool, flash in recovery, make sure you become s-on.
Then download a 3.70 RUU in PC36IMG form, or as an exe and then run it.
If you do the exe form, make sure the phone is connected in fastboot before you run.
Read my guide if you used unrevoked 3 I have the links u need. CM wouldnt of caused your cam issues some cams started going bad thats why 0004 got a fix for that.
Also, i have a custom rom flashed in right now.

No, because if you do that, you could be left with s-off, then they'll know you were rooted. That's why you run the s-on first.

NP man all links are there should make it easy as pie. Get the stock RUU PC36IMG.ZIP and the UNREVOKED FOREVER SON ZIP. FLASH THE UNREVOKED FOREVER SON ZIP FIRST IT WILL TURN S ON AND THEN BOOT INTO BOOTLOADER AND IT WILL RUN THE RUU PC36IMG.ZIP .
Make sure you delete them after your back to stock so sprint wont see them on your sd card.
Is much easier if u only do a ruu of the lastest update. U dont need no guide. Only make sure u have sync installed and format ur sd card ones ur done with the process.

It's got the links he needs man plus you have to turn s back on won't do you any good to flash a RUU with it off.
Or flash sprint lovers.. They never noticed me.. And that way you can just flash back afterwards
If you don't turn S on and you flash anything other then stock RUU there is always a chance you will get your warranty voided if they decide to do a hard reset and boot your phone into bootloader they will see it so why risk it.
Do what you want guide has links for you dummy proof lol

I'm a little late to the party, but I have done this a couple times to get a new phone. I have never had a problem, can tell you the only possible way that they would ever know like everyone else said is if you have S-OFF.
Lol cool so would I have to like switch roms again? Nd stuff cause every time I take my phone into Sprint I switch back to the standard look of the phone lol like after I just rooted my phone

You need to use an RUU that matches your bootloader, or get s-on from the unrevoked zip you flash in recovery, then flash a 3.70 PC36IMG RUU.
Jcki4.....Just keep in mind, that if for any reason your device gets swapped out by them not fixing it or what have you....you will more likely get a GB 2.3.3 updated device with a locked bootloader. NO root options with that at the moment...until someone exploits it, HTC updates OTA, or unrEVOked is updated to include Hboot 2.16. I myself have learned my lesson the hard way....and patiently I wait....

Can not achieve S-ON!111

[Q] Can't flash s-on.

I'm trying to unroot my phone. I downloaded the correct the RUU for my hboot version and download s-on tool. When I go to flash the s-on tool, I get the error that says "unsupported radio version." Any ideas? I need to unroot this guys Evo ASAP!!!
Damn. No help???
make sure there are no other images that might be blocking this. or simply re-download and try again if you are sure there are no other files that bootloader might be looking at.
Maybe try to downgrade the radios first? Just a thought. I don't really know.

Had to do it the long way. Run a RUU through hboot, then 2.3 software update to lock the hboot to s-on. Omg!!!
