Unrevoked s-on tool won't work because your radios are too new, you need to downgrade the radios to at least the ones that came with the 3.70 OTA back in January, then it will work & you can achieve S-ON. Just went through this myself a couple of days ago.

What is the radio version that will work? And after I get s-on do I just run the ruu again?

There are a few PC36IMG.zip files you can put on your SD card and go into HBOOT to flash it.
They're all over the place. kind of hard to find.
do you have a link by chance I have no luck with search

And yes, you could. But I don't know why you wouldn't just do it through recovery.
Because I lost root with the ota so don't have recovery

Just reflash your recovery and su.
If you have S-on then your stuck without root.

If you're s-on then it's not possible. S-on/s-off refers to the bootloader itself.
In technical terms, S-off will let you flash any PB31IMG.zip you want as long as it's built properly. S-ON will only allow you to flash files by HTC. Unless we can achieve S-ON on the newer radio or can get HTC's signing method for their zip files, I don't see it possible if you're S-ON. Sorry.

Unrooted, returned to stock, to it to Sprint and they say I have basic root???

My phone wouldn't charge the last couple days so I Unrooted and returned to stock, s-on. I used a PC36IMG to return to stock. I took the phone to Sprint and somehow it started working again. They said it wasn't the charging port and it wasn't the charger or battery. I also have 2 different chargers and 2 different batteries of my own I tried. Anyways they gave me the phone back and told me to give it a couple days to see if I have any more problems, he didn't do anything but it started charging again somehow. Anyways before I left he said it is rooted still, even though I thought I Unrooted, s-on and return to stock. Superuser is not installed. How can this be possible???
PS I rooted with revolutionary

That guy was way off unless he looked at your sd card no way he could tell it was rooted

I probably should have taken it out. I didn't have any file explorers installed so I figured he wouldn't be able to

Which HBOOT do you have? If it were the Revolutionary one it may have tipped him off. Also check your SD card. I've seen them go to Market and look at purchased apps and see if root apps were bought, so don't sync with Google. Run an RUU for good measure, take put the SD card and go back

He also said to bring it back if it has any problems. I didn't think he would say that if he thinks it's rooted. Thanks man.

I would just let them know that any root apps that are synced to my Google account are for a tablet at home, an older phone, or some other BS.
To my understanding; if you take the stuff off your SD card, running Stock and have S-ON, there's really no way they could prove that you were rooted.
It's all about covering your tracks.

The 6.17 hboot is what tipped him off. Stock hboot only goes up to 2.16, Revolutionary gives you a s-off'ed 6.16 hboot. Getting s-on with Revolutionary involves flashing the 6.17 hboot (which isn't stock) which is s-on. If you run the RUU for the latest update, you should get the 2.16 hboot back. You'll need it to re-run Revolutionary.

It's not hard. Just follow the "Guide Below for v2.3.3 builds 4.24/4.53/4.54 softwares to ROOT and unROOT revolutionary method" on his page. You will just need to run 2 PC36IMG.zip files from the SD card.
You don't need RECOVERY.

rowity and
I'm currently using hboot 2.10.0001 with radio 2.15.00.11.19, I was using hboot hboot 2.18.0001 I read that I could downgrade my hboot to 2.10.0001 that way I can use unrevoked3 to root the phone. I followed all the instructions and used the boot unlocker from htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader and use captain throwbacks method. When I installed the pc36img.img from captain throwbacks guide it seemed to mess everything up. I don't have a custom recovery but I should have one at this point right? I am so confused. I have s-off but it says I don't have root. I did have HTC sync installed when I tried to root it the first time and it failed so I had to uninstall HTC sync.
I can't remember but shouldn't it be "PC36IMG.zip"..? Been a while since I rooted my phone.

Your radio is too new for unrevoked u need to bump your hboot up to 2.16 and use revolutionary.io I don't know any way to downgrade the radio with s-on so u can use unrevoked
