Rooted via Toast - How to unroot?

How do you unroot? I'm going to be returning this phone (Sprint got me angry for certain reasons). How do I unroot so that I can return it and not have it seen as out of warranty

flash a stock ROM. done

It's that easy? If so, thank you very much.

Just be careful which one you flash. If you flash a rom that closes the ability to root you are screwed if you ever want to go back. Back a page or two someone posted the original Ruu from sprint which has the shipping EVO rom. Thats what you need to use to go back to stock and don't accept updates if you want to preserve your future root.

all roms are rootable. if you did the update its still rootable through toast.

For now yes, that may not always be the case. In the event some poor soul searches the forum like a good noob and sees that its not a big deal, flashes a Sprint RUU that breaks root and ends up screwed.

Well I'm returning the phone so future root's isn't a concern but thank you!

Where did you find the Stock ROM? I can't find one. All I can find is the RUU. I'm sorry if these are dumb questions but I am new to this.

the ruu is a rom.

Just ordered an EVO, have some questions.

I haven't received the product yet... I want to get all my research done before I start fiddling around with it. Should I apply all the updates on the phone before I root it and flash a custom ROM on it?
thanks in advance!

Ya if it doesnt included latest update you can always get it ota and then root. What roms are you looking at flashing?

not sure what ROM I want atm but I plan on testing out a few... My fear is that I will apply an update that the current root method does not work with... do you know if I will run into a problem like that?

Most likely, it will come completely updated. Don't worry about it, just come back with questions, once you receive your new Evo. There's plenty of help around here. By the way, congratulations on a great phone, and welcome!

I will do... thanks
It was the Evo vs the Epic... most of the reviews favor Evo so I went with that

[Q] Buying my Evo 4G tomorrow and have a few questions. Any help would be appreciated

Ok so this will be my 7th android phone I am getting tomorrow.
I am getting it for sprints coverage increase over t-mobile.
Also for 4G
I am hoping to run cyanogen rom since thats what I had on my nexus and on my
MytouchSlide
Ok here are my q's
I keep seeing different ways to root. what is the advantage of one way over another? is there a large risk of bricking with the one click method? losing root?
i have heard something about a /s root? wtf does this mean. I have never heard of anything like this and I rooted all my phones myself up until this point.... Ive even rooted most of my friends phones.
4G I keep hearing people saying they lose 4G. How is this possible is their a way to NOT lose 4g? has anyone successfully flashed a rom without losing 4G?
I mean I would rather not root my phone than lose 4g but at the same time I really want a rooted phone.
since Cyanogen mod is pretty much useless to me what is another good rom?
how can I get to it without bricking or losing 4g?
So if someone could give me the rundown i would greatly appreciate it.
I am excited for the Evo but am hesitant based on what I have read...

ok. whatever u do, DONT try rooting using Unrevoked, one-click, 1.47 method. none of dat crap.
This is ur answer for rooting.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
no automatic shz(maybe just some parts)
it works for any windows computer. just make sure u have adb set up on ur comp and ur good to go.
read the instructions and disclaimers.
make sure u have ur hboot drivers updated(theyre in the post but just go along)
cyanogenmod of course does not have 4G at this moment cuz they build their rom from ground up.
a good rom to use for like 4G and wifi tether and shz would be "Fresh"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743079
of course theres alot more roms out there for evo...u can take a look at mostly all of them here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
themes however are pretty hard to find. so i wont go there.
hboot is like the bootloader security program. if u notice, when u go to ur bootloader(holding power and volume down at the sametime) you'll see it says, Hboot 2.02 S-ON. my definition of that is,S=security-On. so obviously u wanna turn it off so u can get root, and that link i posted turns it off during the process. dats all there really is too it

Lol now you know as well as I do people don't actually read other threads. just the ones they post themselves lol.
So my questions are
I read there is a way to back up your 4g so if you ever **** yourself out of 4g you can restore.
Is this true?
I have heard alot of issues about a new camera... since mine will be purchased in 13 hours is their anything I have to worry about in regards to screwing the camera all up?
Also I had read not to use any other recovery other than the one that root tutorial includes.
is that true?
you had told me
"make sure u have ur hboot drivers updated(theyre in the post but just go along)"
is that hboot202-s_off-V71.zip?
How do i update them?
you had also said "ok. whatever u do, DONT try rooting using Unrevoked"
yet the tutprial you linked to says to
adb push root/unrevoked-forever.zip /sdcard/
adb push root/mtd-eng.img /sdcard/
adb push pc36img/PC36IMG-ENG.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip
adb push pc36img/PC36IMG-MR.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG-MR.zip
adb push root/flash_image /data/local/
adb push root/rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp
Is that an ok version of this unrevoked?
I miss my MTSlide lol. alas I am on a T-mobile employee plan (cause I am a T-mobile employee) and Am way past tired of being treated like someone who does NOT spend money on my line even though I pay 45 for 1 line. So I am switching To sprint tomorrow. I broke the screen on My mytouch Slide and they want me to pay a 130 dollar deductible on a phone with a 700 mhz processor ( only cause I OVER CLOCKED IT!)
sorry for so many questions. It just seems like I have found a lot of answers that contradict each other and I am not looking forward to a brick.

lol its all good. what people mean by dont use Unrevoked, its actually a .exe program dat will do it all for you, but since the current version they have is not update with the securities and stuff, it wont work and will infact crash your 4G.
backing up ur 4G, uhh im not so sure about that, my advise, root it first then make a nandroid backup lol.
the camera version isnt so big but it just has to do with watever rom u have and i like i mentioned before, Fresh should be a good one to use(in the rooting process u acually flash over a rom called"Stock_Rooted) but it wont f k it up. But, if u do endup messing up ur camera, its because of the rom doesnt work with ur phone so just flash one dat does work and you'll be good.
in the Like A Boss method, yes u do use unrevoked-forever, its just a zip. not a program so its usable, u get?
the "hboot202-s_off-V71.zip" file is actually ALL the files u will need in rooting.\
the actual hboot drivers are found here.(even come with instructions, and yes, its from unrevpked aswell but its not the bad file everyone is warning u to stay away. lol)

Ok... I had read somewhere that whatever you do do NOT flash any other recovery. that if you flash clockwork mod it will **** something crucial up.
I have been reading for hours now and am very frustrated with the clusterfuck of contradicting info. I appreciate you taking your time in answering my questions.
I am very nervous But I guess I will see what happens. your 4g is still working i assume?
Someone needs to make a Evo Bible Sticky and keep it updated to quell the great misinformation.
Perhaps once I get it down me and you could make one. or you could
Having this would be a great help. I certainly Will try and do it once I have my bearings for this new phone.

u got it. and yes. im sure about the camera issue too. flashing another recovery instead of the one it came with for rooting will fk it up. besides that, ur good.
and no i dont have 4G working. due to the fact im using CM6.1RC2 and he does not support 4G YET, but i love his work and feels grreat and everything on my phone is really easy to customize. im not so big on 4G anyway due to because i live in Sac Town, CA, and 4G isnt dat big here so its like on and off, so it just kills my battery qucker AND im always connected to my wifi. lol

one other important thing i should add to u before u do it by accident.
when ur rooting it, you'll come up to the point when ur done and have booted into the rom. it says to update ur PRL/PROFILE. on the phone, to get system updates u have to go to Settings>System Updates>and theres like 4 options. Update PRL, Update Profile, Update HTC Software, Update Firmware. ONLY! update PRL and PROFILE. dont update HTC SOFTWARE or else you'll lose partial root. lol. keep dat in mind cuz once u boot ur phone, a pop up might appear saying 3.30.somehitng and its 6mbs. update Yes, or Cancel. CANCEL DAT TART! lol

ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING! lol sorry its just dat it happened to me with 2 hones and i wanna keept u aware of these thigns.
on the Like a Boss method when rooting, wen u get to step 10...
>>>>>>10) You should still be in the boot loader at this point. Scroll down to recovery and press the power button. When you see the red triangle.<<<<<<
when u click on recovery, if it reboots and is stuck on the white HTC splash Screen for more than 15 seconds, just do a battery pull and get back to the bootloader and hit Recovery again. dont worry, everything u did wasnt a complete waste. and once u et to the red triangle with phone screen, resume with the guide.
youll see what im talking about when u get there.

Alright man imma do it... Im nervous lol. I got the 4g now

Successfully rooted and running frost rom ( Very close to Vanilla android or aosp i guess its called) Running well. I was wondering if you know how to get hulu running?
and can you explain to me what kernels I can flash?

With the new evos, only stock htc kernels work 100% atm, from my experience. I have tried a few others but they all stop the camera from working and some cause done graphic tearing. Until the new source comes out, I would stick with htc #10 or #17.

Unless u ran unrevoked forever and have s off forever than by running the update u will lose root. Even if ur s off forever u run the risk of losing root as well. At best u can flash one of the gb roms in the dev section.

what if it is s-on?

If I had to make a choice I'd go to the dev section and choose a rom that I liked and flashed that. Then u don't have to wireless bout it anymore. With root u unlock things but also can get alot better battery life and can customize things like percentage battery and different lock screeens and lots more. Just look around and test things out before u give up. Its not as hard as u think to get the hang of it.

ok wow im stupid.
unrevoked forever is what i used. my bad lol sorry.
s-off
we tried 3 but it wouldnt work for some reason so we did the forever.
phone is rooted for sure.
so if i did the sprint update from the "update phone" section on the phone...i would lose root? would it flash phone too? honestly at this point idc about the root anymore really. i am about to upgrade to the Evo 3D next weekend

If ur upgrading to 3vo then no big deal. Upon reading u might have to unroot phone to get update to work. If ur selling ur evo back to sprint when u get new phone then run the s on from unrevoked and then unroot and take update. If ur putting it on eBay or craigslist or selling to a friend u can unroot and leave it s off so other person can reroot if they want

ok. so where is the best instructions on how to unroot?
i seen one in the dev section near the top (Unroot in 2 steps)<---that one?

Why take the update when there are optimized ROMs based on the update that work better and have in them than what you'll get from the OTA??

Correct yourself and stop spreading wrong information.
S off does not mean you are rooted nor does it have any correlation with being rooted.
S off is the security flag which allows the bootloader to flash unsigned/unofficial images to the partitions.
An evo can be rooted and still have the security flag s on.
Even the installation instructions for unrevoked forever state you have to be rooted FIRST WITH A CUSTOM RECOVERY ALREADY INSTALLED in order to apply the unrevoked forever patch.
You should get your information straight before you start to put it out.

Wow post like this deserve to go in the shutter. I was helping the Guy out. If he was s on then there is more than a large percentage chance that he isn't rooted. Instead of getting technical I decided to help out in q way he'd understand. So quit being a douche.

I wasn't being a douche. You ever heard of constructive criticism? Op stated he was still rooted and didn't take the ota. He was wondering what would happen if he did. He was also unsure if he was s on or not which has nothing to do with being rooted. You gave wrong information about the security flag when you should have told him to verify if he is s off even though he has a rooted rom. If he was s on then you could have told him to flash unrevoked forever and then he can accept the ota if he wanted.
Helping is one thing, helping with wrong information is another.

[Q] how do I completely wipe and recover without root 4.24 hboot 2.16

Someone tell me how I can clean my phone, I need to wipe it completely, and reinstall everything from scratch. Really wish I had rooted first, would have been alot easier, alot more resources for root.

Menu>Settings>SD & Phone Storage>Factory Reset

let me repeat my question, and get more specific. I need to wipe all data off my phone, everything.
Then I need to get the OS back on it.
Can someone tell me if you can do this without root, I need to completely clear all partitions AFAIK and then get a new CLEAN UNHACKED OS onto my phone.
Factory reset is not enough
RUU is not enough (alone anyway)
I need to get the flashable regions of my phone totally clear of malicious code.

bump for edit for previous

I don't think you have any options without root...only other option without root is boot into bootloader and clear storage.
For curiousity, what did you do that you need to undo and how could you have pushed "malicious code" onto other partitions without root?

unless you work for HTC or know somone that does, i thnk you are pretty boned, even contacting them directly all ive gotten is the usual "it cant be done" line so ....just wait for the hboot to get hacked and do it then i suppose..

What Android version are you on and your phone is currently rooted correct?

He stated in original post that it is NOT rooted.

4.24 gb EVO
hacked as hell
i think it was rooted before not to my knowledge, and flashed. also calendar exploited via google, I hope i can get some help outside the dev forum, because I i know they dont like questions there, thats why im posting here instead.
cant clean it now that i have OTA'd to GB.
I am finding alot of cool app engines along my trials and tribulations. makes me wish I had not stopped working in security several years back.
Someone gonna give a guy a hand? I am as trustworthy as they come if you are worried about anything getting out and about.

If it was rooted before, go into the bootloader and check if it says S-ON or S-OFF. If it's S-OFF, you can flash a recovery and now you're rooted again.
If it's S-ON, no, you can't do anything right now.

yeah im screwed
i just love it when my camera and speaker come on and monitor me all day and night long.

Sigh...ok...I'll bite. Why do you think your phone is doing this? What evidence?
And does the tin foil mess up your hair?

i watch the logs, i see the mic and or cameras come on, i see the filesys filling where I cant go see it because im not root, i see the traffic as it xmits it from local host to local host, i see the traces of the encryption keys and stunnels. This is only one instance.
I hope there is someone around here who has something more to offer than the people outside the dev forums, im getting killed following the rules.

So let me get this straight and my apologizies for sounding confuzed becasue every reply has been all over the place and has been of no real help to you yet..
Your on GB version 4.24 correct? Previously Rooted without you knowing? Your trying to get back too 100% stock as well? I hope I'm following this so far.
1st, the easiest way, download Root Checker from the Market and that will tell you right off the bat if your rooted or not. If thats not possible, enter bootloader as stated before and verify S-Off at top of screen. If so, flash Amon_Ra Recovery (rename to PC36IMG.zip if not already and place on root of SD Card). Enter bootloader and let it scan, apply update and from there you can do what you need to do. If it says S-On but you know your rooted, go to xHausx Auto Root guide, download the Froyo 3.70.651 Stock rom and place on Root of Sd Card named PC36IMG.zip, enter bootloader, let it scan and apply update, that will take you too 100% stock Froyo with hBoot 2.10 and you can apply GB update if desired or root with whatever method of your choice.
Once again, sorry if this is not what you were wanting but its irritating when you get the run around and people talk about tin foil hats and ridiculous stuff...and agreed, very hard to follow rules when most replies are worthless.

Read 1 post below yours, only way to figue out how to help is to know the details. Good 2 cents though.

I will give it a go, after I upgraded OTA it made me s-on, so i think im just screwed now.
I tried the ruu to go back but as you know it says too old files etc
i imagine this will do the same but i will try anything once, the guys at sprint gave me the go ahead to do whateever i need to do to try to backrev this thing, and if i brick it they will replace it so im up for ANYTHING PEOPLE

If you were originally s-off, the ota shouldn't have updated hboot. It can't turn you s-on, unless you reverse it yourself first..
Which means you were always s-on, and currently there is no way to assist you.

lets start over. are u S-OFF or S-ON? that will determine what ur options are.

There isn't anything that can be done for you at the moment. You said your s-on which means your not rooted which in turn means your bootloader is locked and you can't install a recovery and install the files you need to fix your problem. So I would call Sprint and tell em your device is being defective.

If you could read his original post, he said - it is currently not rooted - who cares if it was rooted before or not. He has S-ON = NOT rooted = he is out of luck...
That's my 3 cents
