So I installed unrevoked [Followed step by step everything was fine]
Here's where I think I messed up (ROYALLY) I went into recovery and installed the freshEVO ROM from .zip and it installed but was stuck on the HTCEVO 4G screen, I waited like 15+min see if the install was slow, then I rebooted (took out battery) and cleared cache just did everything I think I could do to remove and now my phone is like bleh :[
Help please and thanks.

Thanks, so lemme see if I understand this... the only way to reset my phone is to install what you linked to, and I won't be able to root ever again?
So does ur EVO go to recovery?

You can reroot if you want once you ruu'd your phone. Its entirely up to you.
It also could have just been a bad flash or a bad file

Just use the 3.70 RUU and you can reroot.
Yeah I press volume down and power then I go to recovery and it runs clockwork recovery, and that's about it

Then you can use caulkin's format all and then flash whatever ROM and kernel you want.
I would just run a RUU, 3.70, and then reroot.

Sorry one more question, so when I try to install the 3.70 RUU since it stays stuck on the htcEVO 4G screen.
On the part where is says to plug it in and power on I tried to run it normal and I also tried to run it VIA the HBOOT USB or whatever its called and it still wouldn't let me proceed

Rename the zip file PC36IMG and put it on the root of your sdcard and then boot into the bootloader and accept the update.
He has root if he has clockwork. Dude just install a rom.

careful, if its an official you will lose root. and maybe your s off.
No details? So we have no idea what this is............
What is this
I am guessing it simply is the stock ROM with the OTA update applied. Please post further information on exactly what this ROM is.

So will I lose root if I flashed this? If so then this will kill a lot of time for me. I wouldn't need to unroot my device. I have a replacement coming and if I could unroot it just by flashing this then great.

Yes u will lose root and should reset back to S-ON. Just rename zip to PD15IMG.zip and boot into bootloader and it should find it and ask you to continue flashing it. Afterwards u should have a Original Stock MT4G as when u first got it.

The file in the original post will OVERWRITE EVERYTHING ON THE DEVICE and wipe it 100% clean.
If you merely want to apply the update to the phone but leave all of her personal data intact, use the file I've linked below, name it UPDATE.ZIP and apply it by following directions below.
http://www.filedropper.com/update1pd15img
THIS PROCEDURE ASSUMES SHE IS ON STOCK ROM AND NOT ROOTED
copy the file to the root of your sdcard. make sure it is named update.zip and not update.zip.zip. If you don't know what this means, let me know.
power off phone.
hold vol down + power until you get to a white screen.
use the volume buttons to select RECOVERY then click power.
EDIT:
tk192 said:
When u get to the ! with the triangle press volume up i believe to show u the options after use the volume keys to navigate to the update.zip and let the phone update and reboot

when phone reboots you should be in a blue menu. Android oem recovery 2e or something like that.
select apply update.zip and stand back and let the phone do it's thing. DON'T TOUCH IT WHILE IT'S WORKING!!
When it reboots she should be on 2.2.1.
So basically this is just the PD15IMG we already have? Or will this replace bootloader, recovery and all thus eliminating the need to reverse gfree kinda like sappimg.nbh for the mytouch 3g?

I *THINK* gfree is a separate issue, but not sure. You'd have to ask the creator of that thread. The PD15IMG we already had was pre-ota 2.2, meaning we had to apply a second update.zip to get back to post-ota 2.2.1.
I think this new PD15IMG in the OP of this thread is post-ota so we can completely unroot in one step. I'm very stoked.

Hi - I've got a rooted AMOLED Incredible.
Yesterday, it went into a bootloop. I could get to HBoot but could not get into recovery. I tried flashing multiple other recoveries but still could not get into it from HBoot (it would go into a bootloop every time I chose "Recovery" from HBoot).
Today, I installed an RUU from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11717873&postcount=2
It updated, and then when I rebooted, it went into the same bootloop, this time with the stock splash screen.
I have HBoot 0.92, Radio 7.28. I'm S-off. I've formatted my SD card, and it's FAT32.
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
Thanks in advance!

I can't get into recovery with bootlooping.
I'll try another SD card.
Basically at this point I'd be happy to get the phone to S-On so that I can take it back to Verizon. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that as I can't access Recovery without going into a bootloop. I've tried to flash other recoveries and they all put me into a bootloop.
Anyone with any thoughts on how to get s-on without recovery?
Thanks!
I would say flash a bp31img through hboot. That should put you s-on i believe. If you cannot find a pb31img ill come back latter with a link for dl. The pb31img should put you completely stock. The image i have though is from the first shippments of 2.1 but its still stock.

To get s-on you need to be able to access recovery. Also what rom were you on when the phone messed up, was it cm7?

I was on SR 4.2 but I figured it out. The first time I RUU'd the phone was shaking all over the place so I think that just ****ed it up. I reflashed the RUU and it's good to go. I decided I am just going to sell it to my buddy as a stock unrooted with S-OFF, screw it.

Don't give up hope just now to S-ON. Have you read the below page for getting S-ON?

It should work with stock recovery as long as you're on one of the listed radios.
Get the unrevoked-forever-son.zip and follow instructions for unrevoked-forever.zip, renaming to update.zip
Quick question, I RUU'd back to Froyo so can he still receive the OTA with S-OFF? Or does it need to be S-ON?

It can be s-off but everything else must be stock, including recovery and having all original apps. Since its s-off rooting after the ota is no problem if desired.
No idea what is wrong with this damn phone but this happens every time I turn it off. It goes to the white Evo 4G screen, then resets, vibrates, and goes right back to the Evo 4G screen.
Not rooted, nothing custom about this phone.

This is what they would do at the Sprint store if they have to reset your phone.
Nothing to be afraid of.
only if ur s-off can check if it says s-off or s-on in your bootloader
nah u shouldnt be worried bro
Are you rooted and what method did you use? What did you do last that started the issues? You could just try to reflash a OTA rooted version check the DEV forums for one .

This phone was rooted already, then today I returned it to stock since the cyanogen7 that was on there did not... somehow... have the menu option to "update profile" I needed to change my phone number. I wanted to re-root, but I'm having trouble where to begin.
In the Power+Vol Down boot screen, it shows S-OFF, and HBOOT 2.10.0001
I cant make Revolutionary work because 2.15 is the lowest HBOOT it accepts.
If I choose the "recovery" option in that list, I get a black screen with a red triangle/exclamation point icon over an icon of the phone. I have to take the battery out to get the phone back on.
The phone does work, btw. But I miss the stuff I get when it's rooted. Anyway... what do I do now? How do I get the recovery/cyanogen7 on there if I cant get superuser permissions?
I used some other method back when I rooted this phone, but I haven't seen anything yet to spark my memory of the steps.
U are already s-off. No need for revolutionary. Go to dev thread and look for amon_ra recovery. Download it and follow directions to flash it. Then download whatever rom u want and flash that. The red triangle just means you have no recovery.
Support TrevE !!
I thought Revolutionary was how I got the custom recovery on the phone, which I need before I can root? I;d like to put CWM on there, since I have a paid version of Rom Manager already, and I believe they work together well.

You did originally root with unrevoked. Sometimes it doesn't flash the recovery [known fact] in which you do as Paranoia said above, as to download, flash, and install a recovery.

You just need to flash the latest gapps in recovery.
Okay, that's in process. But the question remains, should I uninstall Rom Manager or can I use it? If I shouldn't use it, is there anything that replaces it? How would I go about backing up my phone and data? I've paid for Titanium a while ago, so I know I can use that to backup app's, but what about the phone itself?

You'll have to uninstall rom manager as you need CWM recovery. To back up, simply backup all your apps and data in tb, boot into recovery, select nandroid restore/backup, selecet backup, and you NEED the first 3 checked [boot, system, data]. Also if its your first, backup wimax as well, then copy it to your pc for safe keeping, in case you ever lost your wimax keys.
Figured I would ask here instead of opening a new thread...I have an evo running hboot 2.10 and 3.30 software that I would like to root. I've used unrevoked back in the day but its been so long.

There is no reason to "upgrade" to revolutionary. Unrevoked is the same thing as revo. Just unrevoked doesnt work with the newer hboots. If your already s-off in bootloader there is no difference. U can use any rom regardless if u used revo or unrevoked. The whole object of rooting is to get s-off. Once you have it there is nothing more you can do. Ive used both on unrevoked on my original evo. And revo on my newer refurb. There basically the same. Easy auto root pretty much.

I bought this off ebay so i have no idea how he rooted. Can you please guide me how to flash rom without recovery?
Busybox installed I hope, and latest version?

There are several different ways to go.
The quickest way (might not work and is just a temp fix) is to download, then unzip the zip file to EVO-RECOVERY folder on your computer. Boot the phone into RECOVERY (with the red triangle), then run the recovery-windows.bat file if you're running Windows on your computer and see does that do anything. Whether or not it works would tell me exactly how the phone was rooted.

The phone is s-on, you're going to need to run unrevoked to gain s-off so you can flash a recovery. You can't flash any unofficial zips in hboot with s-on. Search for unrevoked and your hboot version to find the correct version of unrevoked to unlock the bootloader(hboot).

Toast Method 1 (only needed a PC36IMG file and a temp recovery) or the old Unrevoked (3.1 something, before unrevoked-forever was added). It did not need S-OFF for just flashing ROMs.

Red triangle means you don't have a custom recovery installed . You sure your still rooted ?

Good point. I rooted and S-off via toast right after launch. I guess if someone only did his first step it would look like that. Good point. Speaking of toast, I just threw up quotes of his latest post all over general subforum in all the threads where people are trying to decide if they want nexus or Evo LTE.
They locked the one X down like no tomorrow. Team win and toast can't get recovery to access USB for mount while in recovery. Making me lean nexus.
(Sorry to hijack thread OP)

Did you ever try the EVO-RECOVERY download. No one said anything about pressing volume up and the power button. When you see the red triangle, do not do anything except run the recovery-windows.bat file on your computer (after extracting the files to the EVO-RECOVERY folder) to see if a recovery menu appears. I forgot to mention that the phone must be connected to the computer.
If that does not work, then you might want to go to the unrevoked site and follow their root instructions.

Perfect, the quickest way.
Download the attached files and place them on the root of your SD card.
Flash the unrevoked-forever from the temporary recovery menu that I gave you. That will turn the phone S-OFF.
Then run the PC36IMG file through the bootloader (power off the phone, then volume down +power buttons) and accept the update. That will give you the latest Amon permanent recovery. I also added the superuser.zip file in case you need to flash it (especially on stock ROM if you need it for superuser permissions).
Thank you Everyone
I found the problem and fixed it. Thank you everyone for helping me out.

No problem. I just tried to give you a work around to Toast Method 2 (I see the phone was rooted with Toast Method 1 only) which would also S-OFF the phone, but is more complicated.
You could have also used unrevoked, but you probably would needed to unroot first, then install the Hboot drivers, then run unrevoked (not to mention downloading all of those things) which would have taken some time.
This thread is full of win. Awesome job shortydogg. Unbelievable you still had those old files. Just nice to see how it worked out
