I need to return to an unrooted version of the phone. I'm no noob, but the RUU.exe won't work. I'm getting an error staying that my usb isn't connected. I'm just going to flash the rom.zip and boot into bootloader.
I can't extract the file, however. I'm on a mac. If anyone has the 1.47 rom.zip file (and not the 1.47 RUU), I would be very appreciative.
ahh sound like driver issues to me .. have you googled it ?
Yes. I have all of the appropriate drivers installed. I ran the 1.32 RUU a week and a half ago. The program is stupid.
This is an easy fix.
First clear your temporary directory (or as many of the files as you can) (Start, run, %tmp%
Next, open the RUU and let it load.
Then go back to the temporary directory and search for update.zip
You can use the rom.zip on your sd card to manually apply the update.
Let me know if this works
I'm uploading now. It'll be HERE soon.

did this for curiosity and there's a rom.zip and data1.cab each ~170mb with the cab being bigger. I am assuming it would be th rom.zip?
Yea, just rename it to update.zip.
I'll correct my last post.

Thank you all very much for your help. I ultimately ran SimpleRoot and then used Whitslack's guide to get back where I wanted to be. SimpleRoot did exactly what I needed it to do. Thanks again for all your help.
Hopefully, the RUU rom.zip file will be helpful for someone in the future.
Start Over

Well I need to help my friend Unroot her Evo.
I have tried the PC36IMG image copying and that didnt work. It would keep telling us that the main version is older and tell her to reboot. When i tried to use the RUU exe it would tell us...
HTC Android Phone Rom Update Utility 1.0.2.10
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct Update Utility and try again.
I dont understand since we're using the HTC Evo 4g one. She also already had the Htc sync connect.
Any ideas on what the problem could be. She has the latest update and currently is using the Fresh ROM.
Do the flash_image misc mtd-eng.img part of toast's part 2. That will reset the build number. Then flash the pc36img.zip through hboot.
Also: Wrong forum.
Not wrong forum. Maybe wrong thread but not wrong forum.

either post in the thread that contains the rom or recovery in question or post the question in Q&A.
you'll have more luck if you post in the thread about the rom or recovery you are using.
I am confused. She has the latest update but is running Fresh ROM? Is she running the Froyo OTA update?
If she wants to unroot her phone just wait until tuesday when the release the Froyo RUU

I am also trying to unroot coming from Simple Root and can not simply run the RUU due to the Version Error. I can not follow Toast's Part 2 due to the fact I can not mount the sdcard, and the ls command returns no results in recovery (but will while OS is running).
I am at a loss as how to proceed...
Didnt Work...
same issue here....
put the img mtd-eng.img on root of card go terminal and type.
su
flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img
reboot
all will go fine then run an ruu ota
it will work fine
I was a simpleroot user too. and had the same issues.
First I used this method to root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837315
After trying it out i must of missed a step or something cause it would not go past the HTC screen.. at that point i went into HBoot and saw that I did have root but no image on the phone
The phone wouldn't allow me to install a recovery manually..I tried this methods
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834731 I couldn't connect to computer with usb drivers..i installed pdanet and still wouldn't connect so I tried manually and the phone wouldn't allow me to install it.
I then used the same manual method and was able to install the default recovery that comes with the phone. I can't find the link at the moment to that recovery.
I attempted to install the rom before OTA and the rom after OTA..and neither would install using the update.zip method or the hboot pc10img.zip method
I then followed this method suggested

Just tried it and it tells me that "file is wrong image" after I press bootloader from hboot
I basically need a rom that i can rename to update.zip and have it installed through the phone's original recovery..I have tried an old rom before OTA I found and wouldn't allow me to update that cause its too old..i also tried installing a custom ROM with no luck..

You didn't rename the file you downloaded did you? It must be named PC10IMG.zip for it to work. Alternatively, you can try flashing back the originally shipping rom located in the dev section (since the one from that linked thread was modified to remove the radio and such).
Edit: Link for original shipping ROM (assuming you have a G2).

Strange with S-off you should be able to flash the customized PC10IMG that hot_hands made, may be you had a bad download try to redownload it and flash it again. If not I copied it the day hot_hands made it and have a drop box link for it.

What did you get the original recovery to do exactly?
Anyway,.... if you have the eng-hboot you will be able to use the fastboot commands posted in the other thread to flash the custom recovery.
If no eng-hboot then you will need to use the pc10img method. Have you applied any ota updates? Do you know what ROM was on there before you tried all this? 1St try pc10img method with the rom version prior to 1.72 (1.19 maybe?), if fail again due to older version then use 1.72. Infact as all are now rootable it shouldn't make a difference now.

The 1.72 rom was for the Desire Z not the Tmobile G2, so do not use 1.72 rom on the Tmobile G2.

i did try the pc10img method with the original rom before ota and it wouldn't take same thing with the original rom after OTA.. except now I lost root after attempting to install the new OTA
Ive looked a numerous threads adressing this issue and have not found a solution...
I need to upgrade to .92 but it's not working. It says it cannot find the image and a couple things flash on the screen too fast to read and nothing happens
I have tried everything:
1. reformatted the SD Card multiple times
2. renamed the file to PB31IMG (.zip and not .zip)
3. and every other suggestion
Please help
Redownload it from doug piston's website here http://dougpiston.com/files/Hboot/PB31IMG-hboot-0.92.0000.zip rename it to PB131IMG.zip, put it on the root of your fat32 formatted sdcard, and flash through hboot

Done....still nothing. It see's the file-almost like it wants to work- but then, nothing...
Why is this so hard? I've done everything else one could do to a phone and everything has worked perfectly. This, NO.
Any other suggestions?
Ive heard that the newest version of Unrevoked3 will give you HBoot .92. If i'm already rooted can I re-root via Unrevoked??
I don't think it'll give you that, are you S-ON or S-OFF? It'll say at the top when you're in HBOOT.

Here. Under Installation Instructions section. If you're rooted already, there's a zip file to download and place on the root of the SD card. The directions will explain how to do it.

And for everyone else who is having trouble uprgadring to HBoot .92:

Hoping someone can help me here. I bought a used g2 a few months back,everything has worked fine. I woke up one morning and it was stuck on HTC white screen. I have tried following forum after forum trying to recover,with no luck.

Ive tried to flash a new PC10IMG.ZIP and its says noimage,even though I see it on my SD card. Ive tried to push it using adb with no avail. Anything I can do?
i would start with the basic...
did you already try to enter recovery and wipe? (recovery is an option in hboot)
if it works, do a fresh install (this only works if you have a custom recovery)
what rom did you use before this problem appeared?
hoffmas said:

Yup, the simplest solution to try would be to enter recovery, and factory reset.
If you put the PC10IMG.ZIP on the SD using your PC, make sure your PC is set to show file extensions. Its not unusual for people to accidentally rename the file PC10IMG.ZIP.ZIP and not realize it (if your PC is hiding the "second" .ZIP extension), and recovery won't see the file if its named that way.
I tried recovery through HBOOT and Clockworkmod, neither will work.
I also made sure the file was saved correctly but it still says no image.
I honestly dont know what ROM I was using because I bought it already as is. I never even knewthe things you could do with phones until this happened and I started researching. (I know im lame, lol)
Any other suggestions?
In clockwork, try the option "install zip from sdcard". Any file with the .zip extension should be visible (does not need to be named PC10IMG.ZIP). See if the image you are trying to flash is visible that way.
Alternately, you can try any of the custom ROMs posted in the Development subforum by putting them on your SD card and flash using that same option "install zip from sdcard". Cyanogenmod 7, ILWT, Virtuous G-Lite, and Virtuous Sense are all popular ones that are stable and reliable.

Thanks so much for your help, but question? How do I knowwhat OS im usung to know which rom to get?
What I meant was how do I know what rom to download?

Depends what you want from your phone. For example, some people like HTC's Sense interface, so that would lead you to check out the Sense ROMs (either a stock one or a custom ROM). Typically custom ROMs have extra stuff added or taken away, which you will find described in the thread about that ROM in the Android Dev forum. Or maybe you don't like Sense and want a different interface.
There is a lot to choose from and the choice can be somewhat bewildering at first.
I suggest keeping away from the ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich, Android 4.0 ROMs) for now because they tend to be more in an alpha/beta state and be missing some features and also be more unstable.
Maybe you should start with a stock HTC Sense ROM and see how you get on with that ?
Edit - ah, I see you have a G2. Which as stock doesn't come with Sense, sorry if I confused you there. I am not sure if the stock G2 T-Mobile ROM is available to flash or not. G2 folks ?
Edit2 - the stock T-Mobile G2 ROM is at http://www.filefactory.com/f/b8dc837b1ed80be8/ , first item on the list.

That's a pretty challenging question, since the various custom ROMs by their nature are meant to offer different aesthetic looks and features. This is the very reason there are so many different ones, making the choice an intimidating one.
Another thing that makes the choice challenging, is that you admittedly don't know what ROM you had to start with. For lack of any information, you can always start with the stock G2 ROM that steviewevie linked to in the previous response. Its a good place to start as any. Was it what you had before it got stuck in the bootloop, who knows. But it would work fine, plenty of G2 owners run stock, and you can always change it later if you don't like it.
Yep G2 can be flashed

Looks like the previous owner was kind enough to root , downgrade and install a Desire Z hboot . So it is possible to flash both sense/non-sense roms.....
Suggestion: you might want to give out miui a try after your tryst with stock rom which i hope will be short.
EDIT: don't know if this will work but try flashing after updating your radio from this link
