Wrong. You can't flash back from 2.3.3 & S-ON at this time. Don't spread false information.

How did you do it?
I had it rooted and had problems with a rom so I flashed a factory rom back on it and it updated to the GB OTA but I never turned the s-on. Of course that was before I knew we couldn't get a working root. I have tried everything possible I can think of to get it rooted again. This is why I said if need be I would send to a dev to see what they can do with it since it does have s-off.
thats cool. From what i've read today they are super close

No one is going to argue you on this one. There are countless threads of people being s-off. So long as they rooted at some point.

That's like bragging that I can get into my apartment. Sure, I have a key to the door, which helps.
If you were S-OFF before GB, there's no problem. If you weren't S-OFF and you updated, there's no solution yet.

I'm sending my Incredible back to Verizon for a new Inc. but I'm rooted with the new update. Want should I do so they don't know I rooted this phone. OK just check my phone I guest when I did the official update it unrooted me. I' still S-OOF. But I got to go back to original stock before I sent the phone back my phone should get to me in 2 days. So I need to put back 2.1 and S-ON.
Have you done unrevoked forever and turned off the S-off, if so you should probably not send it in.
The best thing you can do is look for the stock 2.0 firmware. Also look on YouTube for a unroot video. I have unrooted and re-rooted this phone so it can be done.
Sent from my Rooted Droid Incredible
I'm S-OOF right know. So I should go back to S-ON and try to find 2.0 rom. Where can I find the right programs to this before 2 days.
I'll help you out.
It does NOT matter if you send the phone back with 2.1 or 2.2, they don't care.
They care about two things you need to worry about.
turning it back to S-ON
and having the stock recovery.
to achieve this. You MUST be rooted to do S-OFF or S-ON, so first off get rooted if your not. Then visit unrevoked
the unrevoked3 is for root, unrevoked forever is S-ON, S-OFF.
once you are rooted, follow the instructions to turn it back to S-ON. **(the same exact way you turned it to S-OFF, but using the new S-ON file.)**
Once this is completed now you will have S-ON, but you are still rooted, and have the ClockworkMod recovery. You need to un-root by downgrading using the 2.1 OR 2.2 RUU. your pick and like mentioned above. don't matteh. This will get you to have the stock recovery, and S-ON. Go in that order. Hope you get it. Peace.
If your S-OFF then you are screwed. There is no way to turn it back on. You are SOL man. You can always restore it to factory but the S-OFF will ALWAYS remain

Unless there has been a break though in getting HTC's and Verizon's super secret security code then I doubt it. The reason its called unrevoked forever is because there is no way to turn it back on. Check other posts in the xda to prove my point. If you return a S-off phone you will void the return and have to pay full price for the new one.

FYI unrevoked forever 1.1 was released last week allowing us to return to s-on.
Also, the reason its called forever is because it forever allows our phones to truly be ours, unlocked and how it should be.

Assuming that to be true why would unrEVoked be offering a package called unrevoked-forever-son?
They SPECIFICALLY provide it in case you need to go BACK TO S-ON....
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can this be removed or undone if I need to take my phone in for service?
A: Download the latest ''S-ON'' tool to a temporary location and follow the installation instructions above to run it. Once your phone is S-ON, you may lose root permanently if you install an official update

Download S-ON file from unrEVOked's website and run that so that you get S-ON back onto the phone.
Then download either the 2.1 or 2.2 RUU (find them in the Android Development Section) and run that and it will wipe the phone and bring it back to factory state.
If it says your phone is not found when using the RUU, try downloading the HTC Sync software for the Incredible and installing that first. You need the drivers for "MY HTC" on the computer for the RUU to recognize it and HTC Sync will install that for you. I had that issue, but remedied it with the HTC Sync software install first.

Way to go back, good for you. It will 100% be refurbished unless of coarse you are within 30 days. refurbs are good though. and its amoled so. whateva
Well we see. the only thing i'm worry about is that it will come with 2.2, and won't be able to root again.
I have been having random reboot problems for weeks and no matter what I try I cant get it to stop. So I have tried to get back to unrooted stock so i can return. I have unrooted 2.2 on my device now, but i have s-off. From what I have heard I need s-on in order to return it.
Can anyone help me on this ?
I had hoped that going back to stock ROM's would stop the rebooting, but it has not. I still get the random reboots. sometimes it reboots a few times and then goes dead on me. I have to remove the battery and sd card to just get it to turn back on again... ugh

Guess you never read Unrevoked when they said that S-OFF is permanent for the time being and that they didn't know if they would be able to turn it back on. Your best bet is to say you lost it file a lost/stolen report with the police pay the insurance deductible get the new phone and sell the old one with bad ESN for sprint.
I just reflashed 2.1 via the first step of the how to root 2.2 method by regaw. 2.1 was always much more stable for me. it was when i went to 2.2 that i started having all the issues. and I thought that you could go s-on with 2.1 using the latest unrevoked. but i could have read that wrong.
I just looked at there site and it looks like I was wrong they have a S-on tool now
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
yeah, i read that. i dont see where it says how to turn it back to s-on though. only really talks about s-off. it does say there is a tool to turn back on. i assume that is in the custom recovery somewhere ?

It may enable the security but it won't break them by any means, they could easily leave a backdoor on their devices that would allow it to be disabled again

I would like to keep 2.2 and not have to go back down to 2.1. One thing that I did notice was the whole HBOOT ordeal. I checked and I have the .97 version. Is there anything special that I need to do before following the instructions in the link above? I plan on using the stock 2.2 rom and possibly experimenting with different roms in the future. I'd say I'm experienced with computers, although I will admit that I'm new to rooting and have yet to toil with coding. If anyone has any suggestions or a better method, I'm all ears.

Why do it? And the software (I guess?) That Evo comes with is designed to work specifically with the Evo(right?)...well if I rooted, is that software or whatever its called (yes, I'm a newbie) designed to take advantage of the Evo hardware etc..?

First off, Jbcarrera thank you so much for the links (and I LOVE your avater, being a huge AC fan)! I just rooted my evo in I'd have to say about 10 minutes. That's a good question for the seniors here, josh. My phone right now (rooted) looks exactly the same as it did beforehand. All apps still there, sense is still on it, and for me, I'm going to use this to turn on my mobile hotspot feature for free. My way of seeing it (and I'm sure others see it this way too) is that android is OPEN SOURCE carriers will lock features down, and rooting just unleashes the full potential. again, thanks to everyone here, I am sure to visit back often for many tips and tricks!
Hmmm if I were to root I'd want just deadstock original froyo 2.2. No sense no nothing lol.

firstly what hboot do you have? 10 mins is for anything with hboot under 2.02. if you don't know how to get to your hboot its easy just turn off your phone and let it power all the way down, next your hold the volume down and power button at the same time and voiala you are in hboot at the top of the phone it will state a few things one of them says hboot that number is your version of hboot if it says .97 or below your good to go if not then you will have to root with a more complicated method.

I recently purchased a White Evo a few weeks ago. I've been reading the forums and in a few months i'll probably look back at this post and LOL at myself. Anyways I have HBOOT 2.02 with S-On. I tried installing Unrevoked when i first got the phone (easier way), but got the infamous "misc error"
I want to make sure I do this right and root the right way. I want to do a complete back up of the stock rom, but i tried doing a recovery with the HBOOT and all i got was a phone with a red triangle. I pulled the battery out and the phone restarted. Got scared.... So how do i do this the right way? Looks like I need to do some sort of nandroid backup, but what and where do i download nandroid? I also want to install this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808656 I also don't want any radio problems since i have great 4g service.

Exactly if you have .97 or below simply use unrevoked3 one click root works great and installs clockworkmod recovery bootloader. My one recommendation after that is to then download Rom Manager and flash the bootloader to Amon_RA and do a nandroid backup before deciding to flash any roms. Clockwork does not create a wimax image and people have been having issues while trying to flash the wimax. I personally created a nandroid using clockwork then flashed to Amon and did another backup with it. Safe is better then sorry.
I know this has been asked a hundred times. Just wanna check on the best method for rooting with my software configuration.
Software #: 3.70.651.1
Hardware Version:.0003
I am pretty familiar with adb and rooting Heros via CMD so if I could use a method like that, it would be great. So in essence if its possible to RUU back to an older rom version to root that way, I would prefer.
Thanks.
the hboot version you have will determine which method you can use to root your phone...since you have a hardwear version 0003 and sfotware 3.70 i am assuming you have hboot 2.02 or 2.10
check your hboot to make sure by going into bootloader...
here is the guide for root with hboot 2.02 or 2.10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
if you have a different hboot let me know and i will direct you to the proper thread to root

As everyone else has said, you will have to wait until a developer or person in general finds out a way to root the latest firmware. No root method for now, though there is a temp root method in the Android Development forum for the HTC EVO 4G

I'm interested into the research that you did that brings you to this conclusion. Or is it just an opinion? Because, in my opinion, people like you ruin xda. See how easy that is?

All I'm saying is that instead of being intimidating, be kind. He brought up an old thread about rooting new firmware(maybe he searched using tapatalk?). If he would have made a new thread in dev section then a little flaming is pretty much required

Atleast it looks like he searched. People like you ruin xda. Most of us members were just like him but when people like you talk that way, it turns the new members away

Well IMO people like YOU ruin xda.
And no, he didn't do a search. If he did, he would have found the 60 or so threads that answered his question. And if for some reason he didn't find his answer, he didn't need to revive an 8 month old thread that has nothing to do with his question.

As everyone else has said, you will have to wait until a developer or person in general finds out a way to root the latest firmware. No root method for now, though there is a temp root method in the Android Development forum for the HTC EVO 4G

Is there an updated resource thread for returning the phone entirely to stock? I'm running Skyraider 3.5, incredikernel 2.6.32.27, 2.15.00.11.19 radio, and an updated HBOOT with CWM; all on a launch Inc; and would like to return to complete stock with the most recent updates.
Also, what does a "clean ESN" mean?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as search hasn't yielded anything recent. Thanks.

I can answer this part of your question.
The ESN is the Electronic Serial Number that is tied to your phone. If one has a "bad" ESN, that means Verizon has flagged that phone as either stolen, or delinquent with billing or some other circumstance. Therefore, if someone was to buy it, Verizon would refuse to activate it. However, it is possible another carrier would activate it, if it were able to be flashed over.
A "clean" ESN means all is well, and that it is all gravy to be activated on the Verizon network.
Hope that helps.
You can go back to stock, just requires flashing the RUU file you can find at www.dougpiston.com
Clean ESN means that the phone can be re-activated on another account. As far as I know, your phones ESN should be fine unless its been reported stolen or your account isn't current. Should be able to Google ESN for more info.

To flash this do I need to rename it and use the bootloader or something of that sort?

I never try this but supposedly this will take the s-off from your phone... I am attaching this file ask a dev to check it out to see if you are safe to flash it since i have a SLCD incredible... never try it tho...

I don't mind if it removes s-off, in fact I want it to be as stock as possible as I'm prepping the phone for sale (getting the Bolt).

That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
I guess I'm now confused as to what s-off is though. I was under the impression that it allows your phone to remain rooted even after you undergo an ota, however the guide claims that you can unroot and go back to 2.2, yet retain s-off.

Yeap that right you can go back to the 2.2 but still keep the S-off if I am not mistaken that the Nanunlock that give you total access to the phone once rooted...(please someone correct me if Im wrong...)
but if you wanna have s-on flash that zip file before you unroot... I think thats how that work...
