Alright, I'm having some kind of issue... I've tried Unrooting via the ruu method, but the ruu cannot find my phone connected to my computer. I've tried it in fastboot, normal boot loader and when the phone is on normally and I keep getting an error saying it can't find my connected phone.
So, I tried following another unroot method and it said to download the pc36img.zip. so I downloaded that... renamed it... I have show known file extensions on so its not .zip.zip
But whenever I go into bootloader it doesn't seem to find it.

This is a video of what happens....
Does anyone know what is wrong? People keep saying I have named the file incorrectly... but I don't see how, I copied and pasted right from the one tutorial....
I need to unroot my EVO because it will be sold on eBay in 8 hours....
Can anyone help me? Thank you.

As stated before, for some reason the ruu won't find the connected phone....
Do you have the drivers for the phone installed?
I was trying to root my cousin's evo today. I rooted and loaded custom roms on mine yesterday and it went smoothly with unrevoked 3. But this one said that the firmware may be too new. So i tried putting a pc36img file on it and as it updated it bypassed the bootlader and when it gets to radio V2 it vibrates a few times then says fail-PU and the rest go through ok. then at the end it says update fail partition update fail. and when i try to reboot it stays stuck at the white htc evo screen. i can pull the battery out and get it back to the bootloader but i cant recover it cuz its not rooted. I NEED HELP FIXING THIS what do i do?
From the bootloader, select clear storage to perform a factory reset, then try to run unrevoked again.
I selected clear storage then it rebooted after 5 seconds. But it stays stuck at the white htc evo screen again. I have my rooted phone right here would putting my sd in his phone do anything? What else can i do?
The computer wont recognize it as a drive so i cant put new files in it.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip Rename the file to PC36IMG, the flash it in the bootloader. Its an RUU of the 3.70 stock image. After that runs, try to re-root.
but i cant access the sd card through my computer to even rename it

So are you saying the sdcard is dead, or just not through the phone?
Cuz you can take the sdcard out from under the battery and mount it via adapter to the pc, or when downloading it, save it as PC36IMG one time.
Have access to another SD card?
heres no way i can make it recognize it through the bootloader? i dont have an adapter. what if i take the sd card out of my phone (htc evo rooted with warm twopointtwo.) and put it in his? can i recover the phone like that?

Only if you do what I said and put it on there. Or run an ruu exe, and connect the phone via fastboot.
ok since i dont have an adapter what im doing is putting another 1gb sdcard i found in my phone and im going to put the pc36img on the root of this one. then try to boot the broken phone with this sdcard. does that sound right? also that link for the file doesnt work.
Sounds good

Boot the phone into fastboot, connect to pc, once it shows up as fastboot usb on the phone, run the ruu exe.
wait i found an sd card adapter now. so what do i do next?

Well now that you got it on there, no need for fastboot, just select update when prompted, then reboot.

What do you mean it won't update. Then you try the fastboot and run the exe from the pc.

Its named PC36IMG.zip, not PC36IMG.zip.zip? And from the bootloader, select fastboot , connect to pc, when it shows up as fastboot usb on the phone then run the ruu exe from the pc. I linked you like 3 posts up.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip This was the file you needed to rename to PC36IMG..that's probably why it didn't update. regardless, connect the phone into fastboot like I said, then run the exe file on the pc.
I've got some hardware issues that need to be fixed/replaced and I'd like to unroot the device completely before I take it to the store. I followed the tutorials on here that had me use the unrevoked forever S-ON tool (yes, I rooted using unrevoked forever). The step that comes after that is where I'm stuck.
I move the PC36IMG zip file onto my SD card but get varying errors. When I used the one that was linked on the tutorial, I get an error somewhere along the lines of "file is an old version." I did some searching and found a list of radio versions and downloaded the ROM that matched mine. I renamed it PC36IMG and continued but after the phone loads it up in HBOOT, it just goes back to the main screen. It actually tries to load it, says "checking PC36IMG," and then goes back to the menu with FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, etc.
What am I doing wrong? Are these ROMs not the ones that I should be using? I tried to reroot the device (turning S-OFF) so that I can manually flash it but unrevoked won't recognize my device. If there's another file I should use, please let me know.
HBOOT-2.10.0001
Radio-2.15.00.11.19
I used Supersonic_3.70.651.1-Odexed_signed_teshxx.zip this last time.
No help?

If you're s-on, you just need to flash a 3.70 RUU.
From my dropbox > http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip
Rename to PC36IMG, place on the root of your sd card, flash in the bootloader.
What exactly do you mean by "flash in the bootloader?" I was under the impression that I only had to put it in my SD card and star up the device in HBOOT mode and it would ask to flash it. Is this what you mean? I tried doing this with your file and the same thing happened (loaded PC36IMG, "checked" it, and then went back to the HBOOT screen.

If you renamed the file to PC36IMG, it should have scanned it, and then ask to yo apply an update, in which you would use the power button to select yes, then again to reboot.

HBOOT=Bootloader
Maybe you should try using the RUU method, which requires running the ROM Update Utility from a computer, with your device connected in USB Debugging mode.
Links to the latest RUU and PC36IMG.zip can be found in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17206283&postcount=5
It's possible your SD card is partially corrupted, which would explain why the bootloader won't recognize the PC36IMG.zip.

Just boot into the bootloader, connect to the pc with fastboot select, then run the fastboot command via adb from command prompt.

Ok so I went back and redownloaded the zip file and put it in my SD card to make there wasn't any corruption in the process and it worked. It did the update and all that good stuff. I had done the S-ON process before this so does that mean I'm 100% unrooted and the techs at the store won't know I ever was? I've already gone and deleted any traces of root apps on my SD card as well.
Thanks to you both.

Just wanted to thank you for this file, Had the same problem and this is the only method that worked.
Hello,
To start off, I want to say that I DID search on this forum, for similar threads, and while I did find some, I couldn't find out how to do it.
My Phone:
HTC One X
S-ON
Rooted
Locked bootloader
ROM: Android Revolution HD
CID: HTC__E11
I flashed my current ROM a while ago, but I really cannot remember doing it and I deleted the backup I made before flashing (I always back up before flashing) because I thought I was running the stock ROM (without trouble) and I needed space.
What I want to do now, is get rid of EVERYTHING and just reset it to what it was when I first booted it, when that's all done, I want to root it again and unlock the bootloader.
The problem is that I can't find the appropriate RUU. I've been looking for it for a good while now, but I can't seem to find it.
I've downloaded OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27-2.17.401.2_release_298985n1wwcwzs385c0bvz.zip from
htcruu.com/ index.php?dir=Endeavor (not allowed to put links here, sorry) and I put that in my SDCard directory.
When I tried to flash it (I don't know whether I am supposed to or not, but I only got a .zip and no .exe...) it did not work.
If you need the error, tell me and I'll do it again.
Regards,
Pim
If you can't find a ruu, you can use a stock nandroid backup. You can find a collection of them at general if I remember correctly.

The ruu doesn't work because it's an OTA ....its just an update file ! Not the whole RUU

Yes. Previous poster is correct. Download that file.
Do not put it on your sdcard.
Plug your phone into PC
Reboot into hboot by holding power & volume down for about 20seconds.
Press power button to go to fastboot
Open a cmd window and run fastboot oem lock to relock your bootloader
Run your ruu as administrator on your PC by right clicking and pressing open as administrator
Follow the instructions on your PC to flash the ruu

Thanks a lot, but I'm still having trouble :s
I connect my phone to my pc via USB when I am looking at these options on my screen:
- HBOOT
- REBOOT
- REBOOT BOOTLOADER
- POWER DOWN
When I type "fastboot oem lock" in cmd, I get the following response:
" 'fastboot' is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file ".
And when I run the RUU (as administrator) I get "Error [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR".

Do you have HTC drivers installed and java SDK platform files ?
Have you ever used fastboot commands ?
Do you have a fastboot folder on the pc with fastboot/adb files in it ? When you connect the phone to the pc and put in bootloader menu you should see something like fastboot USB
Download this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
And put the folder in c:\
So you have
C:\fastboot\ files in the folder
Open a dosprompt in that folder and type
Fastboot devices while the phone is still in bootloader menu If it comes up with your serial its good

I installed Windows to do this (Nothing worked on Mac, and things like this are usually easier on Windows than on Mac), and I forgot to install these things again.

Hello,
First of all, I'd like to apologize for leaving so suddenly, but I had some other, more important, things on my mind.
Thanks for the link, but when I try to do that (and follow all the instructions I get on the screen), it all goes well, until just after "erasing user data", when I get the error as seen in the attachments.
When I started my phone, I had to fill in the basic questions, but I later found out that all my files were still there, while the apps themselves had been uninstalled...
I figured some general stuff out, and adb and fastboot are now *finally* working as they should.
Regards,
Pim
EDIT: Since I'm not quite sure whether or not the attachments are working, I uploaded them to imgur:
imgur. com/a/yMxph <= just remove the space before the between the "imgur." and "com/a/yMxph"
Well, I've just downloaded the correct RUU, but I'm currently getting error 155: unknown error...
I'm kinda clueless about what to do now...
Regards,
Pim
Download from the 2.17.401 ruu and try again.....otherwise flash back the stock recovery from the main version that you currently have
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
So the stock recovery should be 1.29 based

I used the same RUU I used before, but this time with relocked bootloader (forgot to relock that again), this time it worked!
I'm currently updating to Jelly Bean, and then I'll root it again etc. If I'm right, S-OFF is possible for the One X these days, right?
If so, would anyone know an easy and clear tutorial?

I'm trying to install the latest RUU for my developer edition. The RUU loads till the point where I accept the agreement and then nothing. I'm on Windows 8.1. Here is where I got the RUU from http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/
Any idea why is this happening or how to fix it? I'm having all sort of problems with the phone at the moment. I'm giving a RUU a try to see if it fixes it.
Thanks in advance!
Same thing happens to me, no idea why. Works fine in Windows 7. some people say it's to do with needing a C++ Update but that didn't work for me either
What you can do, though, is once at the T&Cs screen, open a run box and type in %temp% and it'll take you to the Temporary Files folder on your PC and if you look at the newest folders there should be 2. One will contain a compressed file called 'rom'. Copy this to your Desktop, then to a microSD card and flash that via HBOOT or flash it via RUU mode using htc_fastboot.exe (which you can find here)

Could you refer to this C++ update if you happen to remember which one?
How do I flash the rom file through HBOOT or the RUU mode using htc_fastboot.exe (87.7 KB)?
To flash the ZIP in RUU mode
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip rom.zip
And unfortunately no, I don't know which update it was as didn't work

I've never done this through RUU mode before, so I'll double check with you.
I'll open normal fastboot. Copy the rom.zip to the root of theSD Card or to the same folder where fastboot is? Also where to place HTC_fastboot.exe, same as fastboot or in the root of SD Card? Then I'll enter the command fastboot oem rebootRUU then htc_fastboot flash zip rom.zip? I'm sorry for the basic questions, thanks a lot!
If you're flashing it manually you don't copy it to your phone, just put it in your fastboot folder along with the htc_fastboot file and then do it all with the phone in fastboot mode
This is the same like applying the RUU exe? This will wipe everything and install everything from zero, right? On HBOOT I have a modified software status , is this going to be fixed as well?
Yep, completely resets the phone to factory defaults

@EddyOS
Sorry for asking more questions, but last time I applied a RUU was with my M7 when I first bought it. If I'm going to apply the RUU exe, does i have to be on fastboot or while the phone is on? Flashing the rom.zip, do I have to flash or format anything through fastboot or should reboot fastboot or simply reboot the phone? Applying RUU, does it reinstall HBOOT? Sorry and thanks again!
My previous post answers your last bit - it puts EVERYTHING back to factory and the latest versions
RUU.exe you can run when in Android or in fastboot mode, RUU.zip HAS to be flashed in RUU mode.
I've said everything you need to know so if you still don't get it, don't bother trying it

I'm just making sure. I don't have another phone at the moment and limited 3G internet connection, so I don't want to get stuck with the phone not working or downloading things twice. Sorry for repeating the same questions though
