Can not achieve S-ON!111 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to return my Evo to sprint to pick up another 3D for my wife. I am trying to run the latest s-on tool 1.30 and it keeps giving me unsupported radio version. Anyone have an idea how to get this taken care of?

You flash the s-on zip in recovery, why are you getting errors?

I dont know. I have never seen it before and I have used the S-On tool at least a dozen times. It just keeps saying it has an unsupported radio.

Hmm, try downgrading to the 2.15 radio, then run it again.

Will report back.

Tried 3 different radios and no luck.
Where is the ruu for the latest OTA? I cant find that either

It's not out yet, you can try using a 3.70 PC36IMG file.

I got S-ON but am going to need to get rid of the custom recovery now. ARGGHHHH|

You will have to flash the ota 3.70 PC36IMG.zip again to remove custom recovery.
Flashing that zip will unload the stock recovery.img.

Need help updating from radio 2.05 to 2.15

Hey all.
I am not ready to turn s-off yet. But I want to upgrade my radio.
The problem is when I try and use the same pg3img file I used to go to stock when I first went to 2.05 it tells me "main is older. Update failed"
And then I have to reboot.
So does anyone know what I am doing wrong. Do I need another pg3img file (can they only be used once?)
Or did I just mess something up?
Any help appreciated.

from what i understand you need to have s-off to flash to 2.15

Correct. The whole process of flashing the 2.15 radio depends on the signature checking system within the bootloader to be disabled.
Thanks to both of you.
I didn't know this was the case.
Guess I will have to seriously consider turning s-off.

It's easy as pie. If your inc has clockwork mod it can seriously be done in less than five minutes, along with that you can flash a stock recovery in case you have to return the phone.

s-off, 2.15 radio, skyrider 2.2 = all within 15mins or less i think.
I may have to exchange my phone is why I am hesitating on the s-off.
I understand once that is done I can never truly go back to stock. At least not s-on anyway.

You think the verizon guys are gonna find out if the flag is s-off or s-on?.. NO WAY!!..
As long as it boots and there is no water damage/screen damage.. you could be on Froyo for all they care!
The pbing file wont work because it consists of an older radio and hboot. The phone wont let you downgrade your radio unless you have NAND unlocked and S-off. The only way to get the 2.15 radio i think is to have S-off. Hope this helps

It actually doesn't work because the zip isn't signed with the correct signatures, so HBOOT won't flash it.

[Q] Inc in bootloop - even after RUU install

Hi - I've got a rooted AMOLED Incredible.
Yesterday, it went into a bootloop. I could get to HBoot but could not get into recovery. I tried flashing multiple other recoveries but still could not get into it from HBoot (it would go into a bootloop every time I chose "Recovery" from HBoot).
Today, I installed an RUU from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11717873&postcount=2
It updated, and then when I rebooted, it went into the same bootloop, this time with the stock splash screen.
I have HBoot 0.92, Radio 7.28. I'm S-off. I've formatted my SD card, and it's FAT32.
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
Thanks in advance!

I can't get into recovery with bootlooping.
I'll try another SD card.
Basically at this point I'd be happy to get the phone to S-On so that I can take it back to Verizon. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that as I can't access Recovery without going into a bootloop. I've tried to flash other recoveries and they all put me into a bootloop.
Anyone with any thoughts on how to get s-on without recovery?
Thanks!
I would say flash a bp31img through hboot. That should put you s-on i believe. If you cannot find a pb31img ill come back latter with a link for dl. The pb31img should put you completely stock. The image i have though is from the first shippments of 2.1 but its still stock.

I took the phone to verizon and they are sending me a new one.
Any solution to this?
To get s-on you need to be able to access recovery. Also what rom were you on when the phone messed up, was it cm7?

I was on SR 4.2 but I figured it out. The first time I RUU'd the phone was shaking all over the place so I think that just ****ed it up. I reflashed the RUU and it's good to go. I decided I am just going to sell it to my buddy as a stock unrooted with S-OFF, screw it.
Thanks though.

Don't give up hope just now to S-ON. Have you read the below page for getting S-ON?
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
It should work with stock recovery as long as you're on one of the listed radios.
Get the unrevoked-forever-son.zip and follow instructions for unrevoked-forever.zip, renaming to update.zip
Quick question, I RUU'd back to Froyo so can he still receive the OTA with S-OFF? Or does it need to be S-ON?

It can be s-off but everything else must be stock, including recovery and having all original apps. Since its s-off rooting after the ota is no problem if desired.

[Q] Cannot UNROOT Evo

I have tried using the unrevoked s-on zip and it will not load thru the recovery.
I thought maybe since I downgraded back to stock rom that I didn't have unrevoked anymore so I flashed the PC36IMG. The "S" is still off.
Any ideas on how to unroot from here?
Sprint Rom:3.26.651.6 / PRL:1.90_003
HBoot: 001
S-off
Can you try root and then unroot? I had to do it same way for one of my friends. And I would get 3.70 before any atempts.

Well it would allow you to flash the S-ON tool. Technically right now you are partially rooted.

Also, when you say that the S-ON tool will not load in recovery what are you referring to? Is this after you ran the PC36IMG or before?
Please disregard the s-on, as I have unrooted successfully.

Sold My Evo, Now To Unroot...

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.

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.

Is there a way to root in bootloader? Thanks.
Fairly certain i told you this before, but for gingerbread, go to revolutionary.io, install the driver, boot into the bootloader, connect as fastboot, follow the instructions.

That's correct, though he can't get into the os because he bootloops. I'd say flash a new boot.img via fastboot, but he's having trouble getting the device to read.

Try this PC36IMG file on your SD card

It won't root your phone, but might get rid of the bootloop.

Ok hboot update.
it is a ruu file that you run from your pc to go back to stock "just out of the box". it may get rid of your issues. Thats the first thing I would try. dont worry about s-on or s-off and all that...just run it.

I renamed it to PC36IMG and flashed it from my sd card it updated the hboot and still bootlooping and it wasn't an rru file it was a zip file.
Did u flash any voltage lowering scripts like vipermod? Also are u now s-on or s-off? Since you are back to stock now and are still getting reboots, I would say u may be sol. Get it replaced
