Hello friendly xda people!
I am tryng to unroot my evo because it's giving me some problems, I will hopefully be sending it back on monday. I have tried to use clockwork mod and amon ra recovery to flash the unrevoked forever s-on.zip file. My phone keeps telling me installation aborted. Is there an new s-on tool? or am I missing something? I followed the instructions in the un-root the evo forum of the development section.
Try it again, make sure you have the 2.15....11.19 radio, then try again. Also re download the s on tool, as it may be corrupt.
This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.
How did you root your Evo? Unrevoked? Revolution? The unroot process is not the same for these two methods.
I used unrevoked almost right after I got my evo in November of last year.
I will check my radio and see if that is the problem.
is radio the same as baseband version?
baseband version says
2.15.00.05.02

There is no way around it. To flash S-ON, you have to downgrade your baseband (radio) because 2.15.00.05.02 has been patched to not accept unrevoked.
You can go to
http://www.mediafire.com/?2pjq2dhjv6ntxnh
and download the 2.15.00.11.19 radio. Place on the root of your SD card and flash from your recovery.
ALSO, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT DURING A RADIO FLASH TO NOT PULL THE BATTERY IF THE PHONE APPEARS TO STICK, OR IT IS A SURE WAY TO BRICK IT. JUST LET THE PROGRAM DO ITS THING AND FINISH.
gotcha! thank you so much! I will try it in a bit, my bubble bath is waiting for me!! When I do it I will let cha' know how it goes!
so I successfully flashed the radio and the s-on tool and when I was getting ready to mount the sd card. it would not mount through amon ra, It kept telling me sd card busy, so I rebooted. Now I have s-on and still have the superuser app. I was not able to flash the pcimg through hboot. Did I mess it up?

You have the radio s-on.
You're trying to unroot so now the last step is to download this:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VSFLE9CD
Rename it PC36IMG.zip. [Make sure it's NOT PC36IMG.zip.zip]
Boot into the bootloader and accept the update.
Ta-da. You're unrooted.
Never mind, I got it! It's done! Thank you son much to you 3 generous people that posted an answer to my question!
oops I mean 4! Thank you bunches!
I am having the same problem, looks like the s-on tool wasn't being flashed because of my radio...is it safe to flash the radio through ROM manager with Amon RA or Clockworkmod recovery? (broken power button)

Is it safe? Sure. It just restarts and auto flashes for you.
I am having a real hard time getting anything to work or flash. I tried flashing the radio through ROM manager using clockworkmod and it scrolls real fast and reboots and see the radio is the same...i use Amon Ra recovery and it says..
Build: RA-Supersonic-v2.3
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Extracting radio image...
And then it just stops and gives me the option to reboot, USB-MS toggle, backup/restore, etc as if it's done. It did it all super fast and didn't say that installation was complete or anything. What am I doing wrong?

hmmm I booted into hboot and it says S-Off (although its not off) but there is no recovery.
Looks like im up!! My s was off so I manually backed uped my RSA keys just to be safe and proceeded to flash Amon_RA recovery PC36IMG.zip and then I flashed superuser zip and that got me where I needed to go.

it would be of great help if you can help me with it.
hboot 0.93
So your s-off now when you boot into boot loader?
I just flashed the recovery and got back up manually with superuser and busy box. You can download superuser from the market or flash a zip as for busy box I installed through Titanium Backup.
I used this method to get my recovery fixed.

READ THIS GUIDE CAREFULLY SEE POST TWO FOR FAQ OR SEARCH THE THREAD.
==========================================
FIX BROKEN RECOVERY
This is really only needed if you rooted with one of the previos guides version 6 or lower or if you installed a different recovery like I told you not to. It installs amon_ra 2.2.1
1) Download File PC36IMG_Recovery.zip and Rename to PC36IMG.zip.
copy to the root of your SDCard and power off phone
2) Power your phone back on into the boot loader by holding power and vol-down until your presented with a white screen. It will read the pc36img.zip and as you if you want to flash. Say yes. Then it will ask if you want to reboot, VOL+UP for yes.
3) If your rom gets tossed in the process. Reboot your phone into bootloader select recovery, and reflash your rom....DONE

What was the PC36IMG & why did you need it? You need to download a PC36IMG.zip of Amon Ra or CWM. Don't rename, update in the bootloader.

This confuses me a bit. You somehow ended up with a PC36IMG on your sd card that you had no idea what it was, then it asked you to update, and you said yes, not even knowing what it was? Is that accurate? Does your bootloader still show S off? If you flashed a PC36IMG of a factory ROM you may be S on and unrooted, so check that first. If you're still s off, and you can boot into the OS, then the easiest way for you to get Clockwork back would be to download ROM manager, and use that to flash clockwork. Just select 'flash clockwork mod recovery'. If you did in fact run a PC36IMG of the factory rom, you'll most likely need to install the Super User app again in order for ROM manager to work.
I'm very curious of what the heck you flashed, and how you didn't know what it was, lol. A little more info would be great. Are you still on the same ROM you were before you flashed it? What were the results of flashing the PC36IMG? Can you boot up?
Same thing happened to me a few days ago. Nothing is briked. Some how. After a few reeboots all came back to normal.
I fixed it, but now I am trying to get back my original backup and everythime I try it says:
Checking MD5 sums…
Erasing boot before restore…
Restoring boot image…
Error while flashing boot image!
I think my HBOOT isnt the write version but im not sure.
EVO_Radio_2.15.00.08.08_WiMAX_27243_PRI_NV_2.15_00 3
Everytime I attempt to goto recovery, it vibrates four times and the green light starts flashing. I can get the recovery to load if I have the USB cable plugged in but I can't access the SDCard.
Anyone know a fix to this?
Whenever I boot the phone, it makes it into the OS then as it is loading the desktop, it turns the screen off and vibrates four times and the green light starts flashing.
At the present time, I have yet to figure out how to get the old radio installed again. Everytime I try to choose a zip from the sdcard it says E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
no such file or directory
e:can't mount /sdcard
Does a computer recognize the sd card if you use a card reader? I would suggest formatting the sd card in the computer then running an RUU
there isn't anything in anyform or way wrong with the SDCard. I have multiple cards I've tried. it does the same thing when there is no sdcard in the phone.
It's the radio.
Ok,try this,if you can't you get the phone to turn off,pull the battery,then put it back in,when powering up,hold down the volume button,when you enter into the htbootloader,wait for it to load,then go to recovery and flash your backup(restore),then try again,with the radio flash.
I flashed all of the propers and i didnt have any problems.Heres the link to the latest... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485

ummm lmao. I know how to get into the recovery. If I didn't, I wouldn't have rooted my phone. Also I wouldn't have been able to flash the new radio. the issue IS I CAN'T mount the SD-card to get the old radio installed.
OH WOW. I THINK the guy screwed up and unrooted my BEEPING PHONE! the radio update screwed up my phone. errr
It used to read S-OFF now it is S-ON!? wtf!?
bump. need help badly. can't afford to go buy new phone.
Have you tried running an RUU? What hboot version do you have?
Since it's s-on, you can only run an RUU that is newer than what you already have.
Also, did the radio flash properly or did you get an error?

I did EVERYTHING correctly. I ended up trading the Evo for an Evo 3D. paid flat out cash for it without the adding 2 year contract thing. yay. new phone. screw the evo.
Same issue I am having.. I tried flashing a older radio so i can flash the root method so i can bring the phone to sprint. I cant get into recovery to flash anything...
Well, you don't have to flash older radios to take your phone to sprint, for one.
And you don't have to unroot, because I NEVER heard of a Sprint store checking the S-on in Hboot.
You just need a stock ROM, so they see the phone appears to be stock.
Now, you either need to flash the RUU for your phone to get it back to Out-Of-The-Box stock, or you can try to reflash recovery, using the Amon Ra PC36IMG OR, you can try the radio combo from this thread: It flashes in Hboot so you don't have to worry about getting into recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128135&highlight=find+radio+version
The reason why I flashed the older radio is because before I flashed the stock rom, I wanted to get the s-off but the radio that I had wasnt supported by the unroot method I was using. That being said, I flashed the older radio and now the phone wont go into recovery. I did reflash amon ra a few times but still cant get into recovery. Is there a way I can make the new radios file a img file so I can go into hboot and let it find it and flash it??

Are you still s-off? If so, follow the link that HipKat gave. You should be able to downgrade the radio via PC36IMG. Can you boot into your rom?
I've seen a lot of issues with flashing radios lately. Kind of odd.

S is off still. I can only go into hboot...
I flashed the radio that I got from your post..Here is what it said
parsing...sd zip
[1] radio_vz-ok
[2] radio cust-fail-pu
[3] wimax-ok
partition update fail
update fail
I dont know what is means but I did reboot my phone and it does boot up now... Do you think I should just keep the s off and flash the software that came with the phone before I go to sprint?? Thanks......
If you can get into recovery, and I hope you're using Amon Ra, wipe everything except the sd card and battery stats (Unless you're fully charged) and flash the stock ROM that's in the Dev section.
Seriously though, everyone should make a nandroid of their own stock ROM right after they get rooted for just this kind've thing.
You dont think I will need to get the s back on?
No. I never seen anyone say they took their phone to Sprint and it was booted up in Hboot to make sure it's S-on
Thanks..I appreciate all the help..They ordered me another phone..
I'm trying to go into recovery on my evo from Hboot but the phone always stays on the evo screen but i noticed the s-on on the top of the Hboot screen it use to say s-off but i let a friend install a rom and idk what he did but i can no longer go into recovery please help what can i do?
Reinstall Recovery
If you can't boot into recovery, then you probably need to install one again. I highly recommend Amon Ra 3.07 because it's simple to use and more features added on top of Amon Ra 2.3. However, if you've made any nandroid backups with CWM, then you should look into reinstalling that...
I heard of some app that tells you if you are rooted. Maybe start there. Sounds like you are not rooted anymore. Just root it again.
via EVO.
Yes one thing I left out before you do anything related to root, like installing custom recovery, make sure you are rooted.
yea i checked with root checker basic i am rooted but i have no idea what this douche did to my phone that my security is back on
Also i tried to root my phone again via revoluntionary.io but when it recognizes my phone it says that s-off is already done and to download clockwork mod recovery but when it goes to Hboot it says s-on

If he used unrevoked s-on then try using unrevoked to turn your security s-off. I did the same thing before (turning security back on) and when I used unrevoked it turned it back off.
Sounds like he messed your root up some how. Did you try a nandroid restore?

Hi everyone,
I got a soft-bricked evo4g and It is stuck from bootscreen.
I can get it to revolutionary recovery (HBOOT-6.16.1002).
Things that I tried. But nothing happened, didn't help and still stuck on "htc evo4g bootscreen".
Wiping it out (via HBOOT)
Updating PC36IMG.zip via SDCard
HTC Evo Hacks - RUU.exe process, but my version 1.00.000.0, according to The Root to All Evo the process will fail.
As of now I'm lost what to do next. Since TheRootToAllEvo didn't mentioned what to do with 1.00.000.0 versions (which he/she said received an OTA then rooted)
Any help with it?
Update :
I successfully flashed RUU 3.70.651.1.1, but still I have my phone rooted (S-OFF)
HBOOT-6.16.1002. But still can't boot properly.
What do I do next? Can't seem to find a way to s-on thru FastBoot.
Update :
Managed to successfully flashed RUU 4.54.651.1 and I still don't know why It won't boot properly.
Tried the PC36IMG.zip again. My HBOOT doesn't scan my SD, Is it possible that the SD Card slot is the problem?
Have you tried flashing a new recovery in fastboot to see if maybe its the recovery that's messed up? Also you started with a freshly formatted sdcard right?
Try one of these to see if it do anything different than what you already seen...

Preferably, download the amon ra recovery, do a full wipe, [everything but sd card], flash your rom, and should be good. i suspect your recovery wasn't wiping correctly.
Update : I successfully flashed hboot 6.17, tried to flash amon ra recovery(2.3) It was scanned successfully, but never asked me to update. It just skipped back to menu.
I'll try it again once I got to fully charge the battery.
Thankkks!

I answered your post over on Android Forums. Time for you to flash a stock ROM. I'd go with Froyo, personally - I find unrEVOked easier to unlock with.

Will do that, downloading the froyo rom.
Update : Can't install Froyo or Eclair RUU Stock Roms. Its says BootLoader Incompatible. Already in 4.54 ROM, still can't boot properly.
Well it's as close as dead. Can anyone suggest anybody who's super pro that can fix this phone?
UPDATE! : I got it unlocked with HTCDev, still can't boot to recovery (even successfully flashed AMON RA, CWM and TWRP 1.1)
Any help?

You should try flashing the s-on tool, it may tell you in bootloader that it is still s-off flash it again for good measure. The try the ruu. Then re-root.
