So I'm trying to flash my phone back to the stock rom, and unroot it cause i need to use my warranty to receive a new phone. So I attempted to flash back to the oldest flash i had in recovery, and yet it wont flash back to stock, i even tried to clear storage and such. And yet that still doesn't work. So i was wondering can anyone or point out the way of helping me get the original stock roms and how to unroot it. Please and Thank you.
What you need to do is flash the RUU for your Hboot...if on 2.10...use the 3.70 RUU and if on the latest, use the one appropriate for that. You can do the RUU by downloading an exe of it, or in the bootloader via PC36IMG file [easier]. Be sure to run the unrevoke s-on tool in recovery to get s-on BEFORE running the RUU.

Hi- I had my phone rooted with s-off and stock 2.1 ROM with a few mods. I have managed to flash a stock 2.1 ROM that also put back stock recovery but it would not run unless I was s-off. Now how do I get s-on? The stock recovery would not accept it.
UnrEVOked Forever now supports going back to S-ON

Here is the link to the tool, just read up on that link if you are unsure of anything.

Yes I used the s-on tool. Now I am stuck at s-on with clock mod recovery. I need to get back to stock recovery but I can't get run a stock recovery update with s-on.
Just run the 2.1 RUU stock zip again.
I tried the 2.1 RUU It is an .exe and I was told I needed HTC sync to run it. I installed HTC sync and it would not run.
How do I run the "RUU_Incredible_C_Froyo_VERIZON_WWE_3.21.605.1_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_2k4k_NV_1.50_PRL58006_release_143351_signed.exe?
I installed htc sync, got it running, plugged in my phone, chose htc sync option, then tried to run the .exe
I'll try again now on another machine.
I can extract the stock recovery and other files out of the ruu.exe file but what do I do with it. In only need the boot loader. As I said I have stock ROM and s-on.
Damn. I titles this thread wrong. I have s-on and stock rom, I need stock recovery. I also need to get this done before I leave town. I'm going to post the question with a proper title for the thread. My apology and moderater please remove this thread.

Problem solved with the PB13img file provided with Diego Mejia's 2nd video. Worked perfectly. Did not even have to do all the adb pushing of sys files since I never put in the leaked OTA. His file version was just accepted by hboot. Awesome!
I have rooted and SOFF'd my phone and need to return it to HTC for a repair.
I want to return the phone to it's stock settings and can only do it by placing the stock .img file on the SD card and booting to fastboot as this is the only thing that works properly...
I did this with my Nexus ages ago but can't recall how I obtained the .img file.
I am currently downloading the HTC vision RUU - can I obtain the .img file from this?
Can someone point me in the right direction?
ok, how did you S-OFF your phone ? Because if you did it via the engineering bootloader, you need to be very careful about flashing a stock .img so you don't brick your phone.
What ROM version are you running now and what do you want to flash ?
Have you tried just restoring factory settings from within the phone, before you go through a re-flash ?
yep, I used the engineered bootloader.
I am trying to use the RUU from HTC but I can't turn on my phone so I don't think ti will work...
Is there a way I can do it from the fastboot menu?
What ROM version did you have on the phone when it went wrong, and what ROM are you trying to flash now exactly ?
Really, all I want to do is return my phone to as close as stock as possible before I return to HTC.
I can't turn it on beyond the fastboot menu but can sometimes access Clockwork recovery for 10min or so.
I am currently running Cyangenmod 6.01 RC4 but have performed a full wipe.
Someone please help! I'm happy to donate!
To answer your question, I am attempting to flash RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed
Is there anyway I can flash this from recovery or fastboot? I can't switch on my phone and let it fully boot, that's all.
I'm not sure how the ROM versions work with Cyanogen. This is important, because with the eng hboot, if you try and flash an *older" ROM than you're currently running, you can end up bricked.
To be on the safe side, use the "debranding" guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503 and that should let you flash the ROM safely.
Which HTC RUU are you downloading ? I have the European PC10IMG file (1.34.405.5) at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9728800/PC10IMG.zip
You can extract the PC10IMG.zip file from the RUU if you run the RUU, but then don't press any of the buttons that it pops up, just leave it and go back to your desktop. Then if you navigate to where your OS version has its temp files for your user, you'll find it in there.
Edit - ok, so that's the same ROM that I have there

I don't know if it's safe to do that with the eng hboot when running Cyanogen, that's why I suggested the debranding (gold card) method. Then once you've done that you can flash it from hboot.
all restored
The charging light even now shows up when plugged in which it didn't do before... I'm hoping this is fixed!
I need to return my evo for repair, but I have problems unrooting my phone. For some reason i cant run ruu, because it cant recognize my phone. I tried to run PC36IMG.zip , and I have S-OFF. But once I flash S-ON zip and then run PC36IMG.zip from bootloader, it scans the zip file but doesn't let me update. I noticed that when I go back to S-OFF I can flash the zip, but since I don't have access to recovery I can't flash back to S-ON. Any idea anyone?
Try re-rooting your phone, flashing S-OFF and then loading the image.
I'm trying to unroot my friends EVO. We rooted it back in the day with UNREVOKED. It was the one-click method.
I've searched for guides but can't find any. PLease help.
Again, I am talking about the old Undevoked rooting method we used, not Revolutionary.
How do i unroot?
Flash the unrevoked s-on tool in recovery. Then run an ruu or flash a PC36IMG RUU that matches the version of your bootloader, most likely 3.70.
Go to unrevoked website and dl the s-on file to flash. Ur radio must be no higher than version 2.00.11.19 so u must downgrade that b4 u flash s-on patch. Then just ruu or flash stock pc36img

I am trying to unroot my brother's phone that has 4.54.651.1 on it. Could someone please point me to the right RUU please?
P.S. He was trying to do it himself and he ran the unrevoked file to turn S-ON and he has Radio 2.15.00.11.19 on. What can I do?

If you have s-on, then just run a stock ruu.

I tried that but it fails every time.I get the "ERROR[140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR / The ROM Update Unity cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
When I try to do it through the bootloader I do not get to the "update" option. It just fails.
I downloaded this RUU and it went through successfully
RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.53.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_209995_signed.exe
I have a problem. The USB port is fried. I cannot use it. How can I then flash a stock Rom? I can download something to the phone and flash it , but will I still have recovery after flashing s-on from unrevoked?
Also what Rom can I flash? It must be zip format.
Where did you get the download from Aloupha?
*Edit* Never mind found it. Trying to unroot now.
Another question. I flashed backed to my original backup and the phone looks stock. Do you guys think I could get my camera lense replaced through sprint without doing a full unroot? Phone looks as stock as they come...

Take the card out, put into a card reader, and put the files you need onto the card, then put it back in the phone.

Well if you are trying to unroot, you would flash a stock rom.

Running an ruu will replace the recovery with the stock one.

Which, by the way is no recovery.
Well I took my phone into sprint with just a stock rom flash and my phone was repaired without question. Although the rep stated that they don't repair physical damage...smh. I declined to tell him that Sprint has repaired many of my phones of my 10 YEAR tenure.
I tried sending my Incredible to Amazon, but they sent it back saying they couldn't get the data to reset.
How do I get my Incredible all the way back to stock? It currently has s-off. I want it unrooted, s-on, just like it's new.
Thanks!
You'll need to flash a stock ROM (known as an RUU). You'll have to Google around to find it (you might be able to find some on here even). You'll then need to rename it to something like PG05IMG.zip (the download page for the RUU file should specify which filename to use).
You'll put the RUU .zip file in the root of your SD card and then you'll boot into HBOOT where it should automatically flash it.
I've never done it before, so there might be someone else who can help you even more. This will just get you started.
Does this seem like what I should do?

Yes, that is the proper step. If that link does not work for whatever reason. Download the RUU from this website:
pvillecomp.com
I am not sure about how to go s-on. I do not want to provide false information about that. I am sure someone can explain that step.
Before using the steps found on the link above, you will need to flash the s-on patch found on the unrevoked forever site. If you ruu before going s-on, you would have to flash clockwork recovery again, apply the s-on patch, and then run the ruu again. Also after you finish the ruu i would do a factory reset and wipe the emmc and sdcard.
Thank you, I appreciate the information cmlusco
