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.

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.

So something weird happend with my desire today, I tried to reboot to recovery and it just frezes at splash screen...
cant boot to recovery or fire up the system
I think fastboot works normaly. Cause I can find my phone in cmd /fastboot devices. Is there anything I can flash trough fastboot to fixthis ?
You could first try flashing your recovery image, which you can place to the root of your SD card with a card reader. Then execute the following command while your phone is connected to your PC in Fastboot mode using ADB:
fastboot boot <name-of-your-recovery.img> (your current recovery image)
fastboot flash recovery <name-of-recovery.img>
If what I suggested above does not work, then you could also try flashing back to stock firmware. Try to extract the rom.zip from your stock RUU (found here) and rename it to PB99IMG.zip, then place this to the root of your SD card with a card reader, for instance, and then enter Fastboot mode by first powering off your phone and keeping your finger pressed down on the back button and pressing the power button once. When in Fastboot mode (release your finger from the back button), connect your phone to your PC via USB, and wait for "Fastboot" to change to "Fastboot USB". The zip should then run for you and allow you to revert back to stock ROM.
Note: if you were originally branded, you will also require a Gold Card to return to stock ROM. You can use a card reader to create one using the Gold Card tool in my sig below.

Just to make sure, did you put your device in fastboot mode before attempting to boot/flash the image?
What does "fastboot devices" return?
E.g:

Ok, then it finds your Desire, thats good.
The things is... you need your rom recovery image/rom image on the root of your SD card, if they are not there, then it will probably return the error you suggested above.
Try using a different phone that accepts MicroSD cards or a USB card reader/Laptop card reader (when you purchased your SD Card, it would have come with an adaptor for the SD card, place the SD card into the adaptor and then try inserting this into your laptop card reader bay).
Then you can try the fastboot commands above having transferred your image to it.
You could even try this in fastboot mode (fastboot USB) in ADB:
fastboot update PB99IMG.zip (name of your renamed RUU file)

Was your phone originally branded? If it was (and you previously de-branded), then you need to create a Gold Card first (use the tool below in my sig with your card reader).
After you have made the Gold Card, download the following: http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip
Rename it to PB99IMG.zip, place to the root of your SD card. Power off the phone, enter fastboot mode (back + power), connect the phone via USB, fastboot will then change to "Fastboot USB". It will check the PB99IMG.zip and confirm its selection, and be prepared to wait a few minutes until it flashes.
you sir are my HERO everything got reinstalled, weeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I´m 100% back to stock right?
no S-OFF no superuser ?
but I bet I can root it again ...
next question:
how did my phone got messed up in the first place? I know i had eclipse on with usb debugging on. I think eclipse tried to adb push some files over and I just removed the phone from the charger. I'm going to be more careful next time

Yes, you will be back to stock firmware. If your phone was originally S-ON, it will remain as S-ON unless you flashed the modified Hboot (AlphaRev) to unclock the NAND security flag providing full root access to your phone.
There will be no Superuser access when reverting back to stock firmware, unless you went and flashed a modified stock ROM that has root access (software root).
I ran a RUU and now the phone wont boot and just getting a HTC logo with four warning symbols and all the corners.... also when i connect to Computer and disconnect show a bootloader version and just one option - RUU...
Any ideas? I tried installing other RUUs but errors pop up.
AFAIK, my phone is unbranded.
AFAIK, your phone is bricked. It may not be, but I think it is.

Ok, now you have couple options, reinstall usb and try RUU or second one use fastboot.exe to flash spl, radio, and system. This is tricky. Also you can take your phone to service to identify what is wrong, and then come back and say to us. you do not need to pay repair, they will tell you whats wrong and give you offer how much would it cost. Finally you must google alot and try lost of methods. Couple guys had problems like yours and solve it on different ways. Basicly we cannot help you more than this without 100% accurate radio and ruu version.

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.

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.

Hi guys,
Well basically, I've been a massive idiot and somehow my HTC Desire is now non-responsive. I am running the Oxygen rom from a nandroid backup that I had done previously but now i am unable to access recovery at all. The phone does power on. I do the usual power + back button hold to get into the bootloader then recovery and do the usual ./recovery-mac.sh command in terminal but all I get in response is this now:
mac:~ Dan$ ./recovery-mac.sh
Desire Recovery Mode
Pushing required files to device...
Password:
error: device not found
error: device not found
mac:~ Dan$ error: device not found
I can access the MicroSD card through a computer but the phone won't recognize there is one. WiFi works (but can't download anything from market), radio doesn't as no signal and of course 3G is out of the question.
Is there a solution to my problem?!
From a person in dying need.
EDIT:
Since trying to work this out I have reformatted the microSD card and replaced its contents afterwards, still to no avail.
Try to flash stock ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
Be careful to select the appropriate RUU.
Turn your phone in fastboot (back + power) and run the exe file. You very probably might need a goldcard. Search the forum for that. Good luck !

Start your phone in fastboot --> Hold Back button + press power
You should get a menu which has as title FASTBOOT.
Connect your phone to your PC and then run the exe file. You must have HTC Sync installed.
If this fails try making a goldcard. You can find a tutorial here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
the computer won't recognise the phone paul. am going to have to try and make a goldcard i guess. :/
okay i am completely stuck. i have previously made a goldcard but this is just ridiculous now. my sdcard contains the clockwork mod folder so why can't i boot into recovery, what is going wrong with it? if i boot up i'm stuck on the oxygen rom, cant install anything as wifi wont download stuff as sd card isnt recognized (tell me why?), have sporadic signal, no 3g whatsoever.
can someone please explain step by step how to get recovery working again.

So whats your current status?
Your Desire boots into ROM, but doesnt work well.
You cannot but into recovery.
You made a gold card.
Flashing a RUU didnt work.
Your SD is not recognized by the phone or by PC? Is it the goldcard you made?
Correct?
i haven't been able to make a goldcard, i have one previously that i cannot find.
the desire boots into the oxygen rom, ver. 2.0.3 but will not recognise the sd card inserted and wont connect to a mac or computer and show up as a device. i cannot boot into recovery at all as i just get device not found.

yes ^^
Do you only use Mac or have you access to a pc, too?
If you can get your phone into USB Debugging mode, you can try to flash a brand new recovery via fastboot command.
Maybe your rom got corrupted somehow.
If neither of this works, you should try another sd card I guess.
how do you use the fastboot command?
i have used the ./recovery-mac.sh command in terminal but whats this fastboot command and where can i get it?
EDIT:
I now have fastboot but whenever i try the command ./fastboot-mac flash recovery.img it ends up saying permission denied. is this because i am S-ON?

You can do that, or the weaker of the 2 options which can work, if you can still see the PC36IMG in the bootloader, re-install your recovery via PC36IMG.

Thanx for the replies...... Still having issues.
1. I don't have a ADB option in my fastboot menu as explained in the guide. So I don't know how to run the command.
2. I re-installed the PC36IMG, still won't read my card in recovery!!!! I even tried to update to a different recovery thinking maybe it fails to work for my phone, still no luck.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

1. You want the FASTBOOT option, so that the device says "FASTBOOT USB" when connected to the computer. Then you can run the fastboot commands (which is what the thread should say, rather than and commands).
