You should also flash the 2.15.00.11.19 radio in recovery first, then run the RUU.

I cannot get into recovery. And when I tried.ruu it stopped because it reboots the bootloader which takes me 10 tries to get into. There's a.power issue going on also. So my fix will need to ne in the form of flashing pcimgs

search next time and you would have found your answer. and questions DO NOT belong in the development section. that could have been avoided by reading the stickies. which btw, would have lead you right to the thread to unroot. my advice, dont post in this thread again to let it die else you will get flamed back to the stone age.
i did follow that but i get an error :O and my bad for posting in the wrong section

Looks like ur stuck with the new locked Hboot. Hold off until an exploit is found or unrEVOked is updated.
hahah which is what version ???
go to recovery and tell us what hboot you have? If you have the new one
you kind off doomed (for now)
i have hboot 2.10.001

[Q] hboot says I have S-on but Revolutionary says I have S-off

So I was trying to unroot my phone to take it back to Sprint. I flashed PCimg to put S-on and was going RUU back to stock ROM. However, for some reason the RUU says it cant find my device. So I decided to just go back and switch back to S-off. But when I try to run Revolutionary it says that I am already S-off. But the bootloader says I have S-on. Halp!
download unrevoked forever son patch and put on sd card. Go into your recovery and flash it. Go back to hboot and see if its on. Lemme know if that works thanks.. if you need the file i can upload it for ya.

Ok well I attempted to do that....but I cant flash unrevoked forever because I have the latest radio version and they are not compatible. So the flash aborts midway through. And unfortunately I cannot downgrade my radio, at least not that I've seen. So now what?
What hboot version do you have?
If it is 6.17 because that's how you s-on'ed revolutionary, you need to run an RUU to get you back to 2.16 so you can reroot. If the computer won't find your device, try running it with the phone in fastboot.

I ended up flashing a PC36IMG that wiped everything and set my OTA, hboot, recovery, splash, boot animation, and got the S-on worked out. One file.....one flash....one happy Evo owner.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I have that exact same problem. Any way you can share the link to that PCIMG file you used to fix your problem. I am in the same boat.

Stuck at White HTC Boot Screen, Can't get to Recovery

Hey,
I was trying to load up the new radios and when I did it my phone kept losing connections to 3G and everything so I tried to update hboot to the latest and now I can't get past the HTC EVO 4G White Screen. I can still access Hboot but I can't get to recovery.
I was loading the radios from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
I tried to install the PC36IMG from RA-supersonic 2.3 but its not giving me the instruction to install it. It reads the PC36IMG.zip in Hboot but I don't get an option asking do I want to install it.
I got the file from here

Is there a way for me to get to recovery? My phone won't boot past the screen, I assume if I can get back to recovery I can wipe it and use a different ROM. Thanks

Are you still showing S-OFF? When you flash your hboot you also have to flash a new kernel in order for it to boot, the recovery on the other hand should still work regardless.
Its showing Supersonice EVT2-2 Ship S-ON. Does that mean I lost root?
s-on sorry man you lost root through updating your hboot there are many ways to downgrade your hboot and reroot look here ... in android development thread for htc evo

Thanks for the help, I'm on HBOOT-2.16.0001
So do I need to start back from the beginning. I found this link that is for Rooting with Hboot 2.16, I just want to make sure that I'm doing the right thing. The other link is to downgrade my Hboot but it says I need to be S-Off to do it. My phone can't boot past the White HTC screen right now. Is there a way to unroot through Hboot or something without the phone being loaded? Thanks again

Running the latest RUU should get your phone up and running again. Then just use revolutionary again and you should be S-OFF again. Also be sure to permanently set S-OFF with unrevoked forever before flashing a new hboot.

I tried flashing the deodex version of the stock ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245291.
I downloaded the file and changed the name to PC36IMG.zip. I turned on my phone to Hboot which read the file but I didn't get a message asking if I wanted to install it, the bar went for a little while and then it went to "Checking...[PC36IMG.zip]" but I don't know if it actually flashed anything. When I rebooted my phone it just went back into FastBoot. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? It still won't let me into Recovery, it just freezes at the HTC EVO 4G screen. I haven't gotten caught in this loop before. Thanks for the help

With S-ON you'll only be able to flash PC36IMGs that have been signed by HTC, otherwise it will reject it. This one here should work for you though.

Trying to unroot

Okay, so S-OFF on my phone. I tried to do the forever unroot zip, but that didn't work..so i flashed the stock PC36IMG.zip file. Now the phone doesn't boot at all..it gets stuck at the white htc evo 4g screen. Recovery mode is inaccessible (has the evo with a red triangle). Is there anyway to fix this?
Yes, but need more info from your bootloader, especially your Hoot version and radio numbers.

You can't flash that zip, because your HBOOT is a newer version than the one which you're trying to flash. Red triangle, is the recovery, stock recovery. If you push vol up + power, you'll see android recovery system. Try running an RUU of the stock ROM you want.
How do i get my computer to recognize my phone?
Also, how do i flash an RUU if there is no option to do so?

Only way of doing that is from within an operational phone, Android environment. Or via custom recovery. Since yours isn't booting. Boot your bootloader, choose fastboot and flash a custom recovery via cmd prompt. From within the recovery you can mount the phone, turning the SD card in your phone into a flash drive on your computer.

I'm assuming you have Hboot 6.16.1002. In that case you need Captain Throwback's unroot method with the correct PC36IMG files.

Get your phone to that red triangle screen, run the RUU on your desktop (follow steps), connect your phone. Should load the ROM for you. RUU is available here.

Weird that unrevoked s-on didn't work, since you have a compatible radio. You might want to try flashing it again, once you get a custom recovery installed again.

A RUU is an executable file that runs on your computer environment which will push the ROM to your phone via sync cable. RUU= ROM update/upgrade utility.
Must you have S-On, to switch carriers, or do you just need the stock ROM on your phone?

I didn't see that you had clockworkmod as your recovery before. That's probably why it didn't work. I agree with the above; I'd just flash a stock rooted ROM. Just download the PC36IMG.zip for RA-supersonic v2.3 and put it on the root of your sd card (you can take it out of the device and connect it to a computer using a card reader) to flash in bootloader.
My phones touch screen is acting up..and i think it was the rom.
Fastboot > RUU > PC36IMG (hboot 2.16.00001 S-ON) > RUU. Best way in my opinion.

Possibly Bricked (Will not boot to HBoot or Recovery)

A while back, my brother's incredible randomly stopped working, he blamed me for rooting and s-offing it, and moved on to the iphone world.
Today, I decided to give fixing it a go, and I think I have made it worse...
Before, I couldn't boot into recovery or the system, but fastboot and hboot were working fine.
Then, I decided to try this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031752).
It finished successfully, and the incredible rebooted to the white incredible screen.
Then, it goes into the software update screen for a second or two and finally bootloops all over again.

None of the links in that thread work so im not sure ecactly what you did. I assume it had you flash the eng hboot, fastboot flash some partition img's, and then reflash .92 hboot and do an ruu? If you cant boot, or enter hboot, the phone is bricked.

Yeah thats just the eng hboot i downloaded, no instructions though on what exactly they had you flash. Doing an ruu could possibly brick the phone. A phone usually gets bricked with a bad radio flash, ruus flash a radio, so sometimes things can go wrong. Or it also flashes an hboot so something may have gone wrong there and now there is no working hboot. It may have been some sort of incompatibility between the img's you flashed and the img's in an ruu. What img's did you flash (misc, boot, recovery?), also what ruu did you flash froyo or gb?

I flashed clockwork 5.0.2.0 and the misc you recommended here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25522827&postcount=31)
I ran the RUU that was included in the zip. I'm not sure what version it was but i think it gave me the 0.92 hboot, if that means anything.
Does the RUU not flash everything?
Thanks, just trying to understand what went wrong, guessing the final verdict that it's bricked

Yes the ruu should reflash all partitions. I thought mabey you used the wrong ruu to match the mtd0.img, but if you used the one from that thread it was the correct one.
Yeah if you cant run an ruu, get into hboot, recovery, or boot, then im sad to say the phone is a brick.

Mabey since the phone cant boot to the os or hboot, it auto boots to recovery and tries to load an image. Try renaming an ruu to update.zip instead of PB31IMG.zip, place it on the sd card in no folders and see if the phone will try to use it.
Are you able to get adb to work from the splash screen?

Hey I'm just wondering if you checked the MD5 sum of you downloaded RUU?
That sucks the worse part is you lost your brother to iDrone.
Could be a hardware failure probably no way to ever know.
