What is the best way to unroot? I have to send my phone back for warranty, I'm 16 so ill have to use my moms credit card and ill never hear the end of it if they charge her cause they know my phone is rooted. I need S-ON stock hboot stock radio(if it matters) and stock ROM, I read the guide on the unlocker.com but there's massive amount of comments saying they had problems or it didn't work. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much, when I do it does it matter or would it make more sense if I updated to gingerbread before I send it in?
Sent From My T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
As long as its a stock rom it shouldn't matter, maybe try find the closest or exact rom it first came with.

Ahh ok, but I mean like accepting the official OTA, also I'm guessing the new G2 ill receive if they don't fix it, it will come already on 2.3.4? I heard that's not rootable so is there a way to downgrade to froyo so i ccan root?

Yeah get the OTA if its offered.
If you look in the android development sub forum there is a guide written by Setherio to downgrade from the latest gingerbread roms to froyo to root.

Why is the newest EVO. So hard to root than other android phones? I had 3.3 and now upgraded to 3.7. Unrevoked doesn't work for it yet. Why is that?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It's a process to find a security hole to achieve root.
That being said, weren't you rooted previously?
That's what you get for not paying attention. Don't ever run an RUU. And this doesn't belong in the development section But I guess that's another symptom of not paying attention

Google is your friend, my friend.
If you have a new Evo you need to use an alternative method to root your phone!! The old methods and UNREVOKED will brick your phone. Here is what you need to know first.
I'm sure there are instructions here at xda to achieve the same thing but I'm not going to search it out for you. This is the method we used for a co-worker's Evo v.003
I never rooted before. And yes I do know that unrevoked worked for the older EVO and not the newer. I was just wondering what would be the cause for it being so difficult to do since other phones seem to get it solved more quickly. But thank you for your responce.

HTC is getting better at blocking our rooting methods. That and the update only came out a few days ago, it takes time.

You need to get a replacement brother. So it was your actual camera. Sprint will probably give you one at no cost if you have insurance. Hmmmm
Yea I think it is man that's what I'm gonna do
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm willing to bet you $100 bucks if you walk in a corporate store and let the tech look at it you'll walk out the store with another device at no cost. Just don't tell them you EVER rooted or tampered with the device in anyway. I would would say "the camera just all of a sudden went out when taking a picture". Sprint reps are usually idiots (no offense to xda sprint reps) but these techs will bite on anything you tell them.

Even if you don't have insurance you get a one year warranty anyways, I'd just walk in there anyways and make them swap it out. Just handle the situation good man, I've had about 2 evos lol (not my fault). Just go in there and at least act like you know what you're talking about; conversation rules the nation!

Did you unroot and flash a stock rom or did you merely unroot keeping a custom rom & kernel in check? If it is the latter, I would have suggested that you flash a different kernel. The ONLY time I had problems with the camera was with kernels that my device didn't play well with. If it is the former, then take your device to the Sprint store and attempt to get a replacement device.
Ohhh hell yea I'm going tomorrow

I was under the impression that when you unrooted you ran the ruu lol. If you haven't ran the official htc 3.70 ruu you should do that man. You will need to already have htc sync on your computer. If you do this and still have cameras problems I'd get a replacement.
Here's the link to the official ruu, it will bring your phones completely back to stock.
http://goo-inside.me/supersonic/sto...15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe
But how ima do that if I'm unrooted already? I unrooted my phone using the Unrevoked method
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The unrevoked just put you S-ON, it didnt unroot you. You need to run a RUU, either via your PC or through the bootloader, the bootloader would be easiest for you. Search for unroot thread, should be able to find the ZIP right away.

I'd run the ruu anyways just for peace of mind. It can't hurt anything at all its just a windows exe program you run to update your rom to factory image.
Just rename this file to PC36IMG.zip and flash in hboot like cordell said.

Can you post the link of the method you used, if I'm not mistaken as cordell stated above I will only put s-on. You still need to ruu. What rom are you on? Can you go into settings and check what kernel you have?
In the Unrevoked method I have another file named PC36IMG.zip so what I'm gonna do, download that one anyways?

Oh yeah lol. Well Delete that one you already have, then you will have to download the one I posted, rename it, then put on root of sdcard and flash in hboot? Before you do all that do you mind telling me what kernel you have? Don't list all the letters just tell me what # and what's at the end.

Short answer - Stock, unrooted, s-on EVO GB cannot be rooted yet.

Yes, the XDA app does have a search feature. When you are on the main forum page, (not in a thread) hit the "More" button near the top right of the screen.

OTA GB isn't rootable yet. If you want GB and a root, you'd need a new ROM. There are ROMs with Sense if you like the stock ROM.
I think that there is a version of the GB stock ROM that is rooted somewhere on XDA.

i am patiently waiting. I miss my old evo rooted. I was actually given a brand new evo that had 2.2 on it and the ota showed up and without thinking i updated. So mad about that.
Thanks, I'll be patient.
I understand this is hard work and you guys are doing it all for love (or for something other than money), so I'm not going to add my voice to the chorus asking when the root solution for 2.3.3 will be ready--even though I'm a-yearning and a-craving to upgrade and re-root my phone. I'll just say thanks for now to all you geniuses for making these phones so much better!
Hope it's soon because I'm ready I just got my evo 4g yesterday and tried to superoneclick root and z4root and it didn't work.. Never thought to check and see if 2.3 can root. Damn
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
the more people ask, the less likely it will be done!
And if you had searched, you would have seen this has already been asked!
I bet root will be available when you stop making new accounts just to make the same thread asking the same question over and over again.
If anything, the devs are probably getting tired of the obnoxious kids in the Evo forums badgering them. Instead of trying harder, I'd give up if I were in their shoes.
Believe it or not, there are worst things than not being able to root your phone.

no worries, there is a workaround to downgrade to hboot .97 then you can get s-off and root.
I just got a replacement. My usb port broke and the new one came with hboot .98 again... I have been trying the steps in the link above but I can't find the fastboot they list.
