Unrooting?

Okay, I know there are a bunch of threads on how to unroot, but I'm not sure which way I should do it.
There's the ruu way or there's the upload the pc(something.com).zip and just flash that and it will unroot.
I have 003 hardware(I think, I got the evo when it first came out)
I rooted via the three step windows program and have s-off
I'm running cm7 rls1
How should I got about unrooting?
When I tried the ruu way, the ruu would not find my evo connected to the computer..
Flashing the pc(something).zip would be easy but idk where to find the latest version of it.
Thank you.

There's a whole list of them. The second one down is what you're looking for. Name it "PC36IMG.zip" without quotes.

http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
Download the 3.70 version, then boot your phone into fastboot, connect to pc, run RUU exe, and follow the instructions.

I downloaded the above... what is the point of booting into fastboot if the ruu instructs to turn the phone on normally?
I tried running the ruu while the phone was in fastboot and the ruu couldn't find the phone connected to the computer.
Should I try it with the phone on as stated in the ruu?
Are you sure this is the correct ruu?
I used simple root to root btw.

I did that.. but when I boot into the bootloader, it goes through the imgs but it doesn't find the one that it needs...

make sure the pc36img.zip is named exactly pc36img.zip and doenst have .zip.zip extention or something because of hidden extensions or some other glitch. BTW IF YOU HAVE EVER FLASHED UNREVOKED FOREVER MAKE SURE YOU FLASH THE S-ON TOOL BEFORE UNROOTING. S-OFF IS THE MOST OBVIOUS SIGN OF ROOT SO MAKE SURE TO TURN IT BACK ON.

s-on is on... but i'll double check the name. thanks

Let us know how it turns out. I was never interested in unrooting until today when I noticed a big white splotch on my screen and serious light leakage which started all of the sudden out of nowhere. Guess I'll be following your lead and heading to the Sprint store on Monday Ugh!!!

here's what happens when I try and do it via boot loader...

That is what should happen if there is no pc36img.zip. Make sure it is named exactly pc36img.zip and not pc36img.zip.zip because extensions are hidden or something.

I'm sure that is named correctly. I copied right off of your message... I have show known extensions... I don't get it..

Well there is no way it wouldn't even verify the zip if it was named correctly. Name is the only thing I can think of. Re check the name. Pc36img.zip

It should at the very least say checking zip. You can manually flash the zip in ruu mode if you want and then you don't have to worry about names.

how do you do it manually?

He probably means doing it using the RUU (Application on your computer). If you're having the same problem that I'm having, that won't work. But it's worth a try.

Yeah, I stated before the the ruu would not find my phone. When its in fastboot, normal boot loader or when the phone is just on...
Im selling the phone on eBay and the auction is done in 8 hours, so that's why I need to unroot it...
Thank you for your help.

Sorry for late reply. No ruu Is not what I mean. Try setting up adb and fast boot commands. boot phone into fast boot usb mode. Then in the comp type.
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
You should see a black screen with silver htc letters. Type.
Fastboot flash zip /path/to/pc36img.zip
Keep in mind the zip us on your computer in this case. You should see a bunch of lines. When it completes, type.
Fastboot reboot
this should unroot you.

Your phone isn't rooted. How did you manage to flash recovery onto it in first place?
Search for advanced ace hack kit on xda. Read a LOT about how to use it and once ready, let the kit do its thing. After that you'll be S OFF and able to flash any custom ROM.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD with Beats Audio using XDA App

He unlocked it using the official HTC dev tool. It allows you to flash a custom recovery.
This is an obligatory to the op. Please research before you go and do stuff to your phone. I just don't get how someone will take a risk on there phones.
The reason it didn't boot is because you have to flash the boot image seperately. One simply can't just flash a rom, in cwr and call it a day if you did it using HTC tool.
What you need to do is. Boot back.into hboot select fastboot.
Take the boot image from your rom and place in your folder where fastboot and adb are located.
Then run the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.Img
Fastboot reboot

Its not working

Run a fitting RUU, relock your Bootloader and use AAHK afterwards.
(if you would have taken some time to get into this stuff, you wouldn't be messed up right now "Official HTC Unlock" is not that brilliant compared to AAHK ).
You say you don't know which RUU to use.
Where did you buy your phone? Was/Is it branded?

Ok, another idea:
You have that stock RUU fitting your phone?
Open explorer here: C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\Appdata\Local\Temp\
Then Run the RUU, it will extract the files to some folder in here, you will see it pop up when opening the RUU (or you run it and simply use search).
Inside there'll be a "rom.zip".

Rename it to PD98IMG.zip, push it to your SD card (in root, not into a folder) and boot your phone into bootloader.
It should check the file and then you have to select "yes" to flash it. Should be fine after it.
DN41

thx I tried to do this before but it keeps tell wrong Image

So you're a hundred percent sure, that you've got a fitting image? Cant believe that it would block a fitting image that method.
Which version did you try? Most recent one?
And BTW: would be great it you would tell before what you already tried instead of letting me explain it and then say "oh i already did that"
DN41
EDIT: I guess it doesnt take the Rom because of the high hboot version (yours is somewhere around 2, "normal" ones around 0.84). Maybe it would be the best to contact HTC's Support regarding that you used their official unlock instead of AAHK.

ERROR 140 while updating
Hello guys,
i want to update my wfs to get the latest hboot and radio.
i have an unlocked bootloader and hboot 1.08.099 and i'm running the latest cm7.2 version by alquez.
my procedure was to relock my bootloader via fastboot oem lock (to avoid the 155 error) and then i run the ruu.exe (my mobile was in fastboot usb mode all the time and yes i cleared cache etc)
at first everything seems to be fine but when the exe update the signature (or sth like that) the setup aborted with the message "RUU Fehler 140 Bootloader Version" (i'm german.. so fehler <> error)
Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks

Hi NQNH
I had the exact same error. This is what you need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21408713#post21408713
It seems that the "PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.08.0099_20111216.exe" you probably had to install to unlock your phone made a change to a version number in your misc.img.
Mine was something like 2.17.0.0 instead of 1.08.0099.
After the RUU failed you will be able to see something like "Main version is older" on the phone's screen (if you get rid of the HTC logo)

can someone extract the radio from that ruu?

HTC one M8 wont update, boot to recovery or factory reset. Help please :)

Hi,
Yesterday I started trying to root my phone, needless to say it didn't go too well. As the title says, I'm unable to access recovery mode, and this morning when I tried to update to andriod 6.0, that wouldn't work either.
I successfully unlocked the bootloader, I think. It says unlocked in bootloader anyway. I have now relocked it to see if it will update with a locked bootloader.
Okay, so to describe what happens when I try to boot into recovery: The HTC logo shows up for a second or so, then the screen goes black and I have to boot it up from start. Also, I noticed, don't know if this is relevant, but in order for me to get into bootloader I have to hold vol down and power for at least 20 seconds, that does't seem normal to me.
I have downloaded a RUU from an HTC site(can't link, first post), but of course that wont install because im S-ON, which I don't know what it means. Anyway, the RUU wizard tells me to get the corret one, even though im fairly sure I am using the correct one.
my CID is HTC__Y13, do't know if that is going to help.
When trying to root I followed the htconeroot websites guide. again can't link :/
I have no idea what to do from here, if anyone who actually knows how these things work could help me, I would apreciate it greatly.
Thanks in advance!

Oh, also my battery is almost fully charged, still says 0mv... Don't know why, maybe somehow my phone incorrectly detects that my battery is too low when trying to run recover/update and quits because of low battery level?

You don't post serial and imei so you don't get your phone stolen. Those numbers can let someone report the phone as stolen, and have it become rejected by the carriers and such. As for the main issue you have, I'm S-OFF personally, so I flash everything manually. I haven't dealt with much of anything with S-ON aside from pure stock which does everything on it's own.

Your device is not a M8 but a different device called M8s
So the custom recovery that you installed most probably for M8 and definitely won't work on M8s.
And be frank with you, I am not familiar with your kind of device. There is a separate thread for M8s - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general
You can ask help here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245
or here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...lp-thread-htc-one-m8s-to-stock-howto-t3190238
maybe someone with your device version will help you

Wow! I feel so stupid now...
Thanks alot for your help guys!
I'll try using the correct stuff instead and see if I can solve things, thanks again!

By the way, what would be the easiest way to go about this?
My bootloader is locked and I can't unlock it again since I have used the wrong recovery mod... So I can't just flash the recovery mode now, can I?
Could I use the RUU to somehow restore my recovery mode ? That would be great.

You can unlock the bootloader again with the same unlock_code.bin that you applied to HtcDev.
This time use correct TWRP meant for M8s to root it. You can find it in that M8s thread.
I don't know whether there is RUU for your software version. As I mentioned above, those people in M8s thread know better.
Since your device is not rooted (most probably), why don't you do the update from 1.21.401.1 to Marshmallow 2.10.401.1 ?
You just need to reflash the stock recovery but you need to find either 1.21.401.1 0r 2.10.401.1 stock recovery.img

Well the problem is I can't reflash since my bootloader is locked, and I can't unlock my bootloader because whenever I go into the "do you really want to unlock bootloader" screen and say yes, it shows the HTC logo and then turns off again... Very frustrating.
I know I'm currently in the wrong section, but since I already have your attention and the fact that you seem to know your stuff, what do you think I should do?

I'll try to find one (hopefully is available) but I'll do this tomorrow. It's already 1.45 am here .. I need to rest soon.
Meantime try to search/google 1.21.401.1 OTA.zip or firmware.zip. If you can find one (but make sure it is for M8s not M9 or any other device) .. you just need to run these command to flash it.

this should fix your problem . your problem now is wrong recovery installed but unable to reinstall correct recovery alone because bootloader is relocked.

Thanks man!
If only the world was made up of people like you!
Get some rest, I'm not in any hurry!
I'll try to get the RUU version that I fits my phone, I'm guessing I can't use a newer one because I'm S-ON? Anyway, you don't have to answer now.

If there is a newer one 2.10.401.1 yes you can use, you can't use older version than 1.21.401.1 like 1.11.401.1 or 1.11.401.10 , higher version is ok.
Good night.

Hey, hopefully I don't wake you up somehow.
I found what I think is the right file, it was named the same thing you told me to flash.
When using the commands you told me I get this:
I can't understand any of it really, I'll google around some more and see if I can find what is wrong.

It happened that I woke up for a drink.
Just wait for tomorrow, I already have the correct firmware.zip for you.
Edit : try this - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4jGj3SfskzMVElpa0MxTlpCRGM/view?usp=sharing
See whether you can download it, posted on mobile.
I'll check your progress tomorrow
The last command to exit that cmd prompt screen is fastboot reboot-bootloader

Have to get some sleep, saw your answer just now lying in bed...
Will continue as soon as I wake up
EDIT- Okay so I couldn't wait lol.
Did as you said but I get this:
Am I supposed to put the firmware.zip in the fastboot folder. I did that, I'm guessing that's right...
Here is a picture of my fastboot folder in case it is somehow useful:

It seems like the generic fastboot.exe is not working for this. You should try using the htc_fastboot.exe
https://ruu.lalleman.net/HTC_M8S(QL_UL)/Tools/Fastboot/
put the htc_fastboot.exe in your fastboot folder, then try again with commands
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
error...
repeat htc_fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
If this also fails, the last thing that you can do (you need microSD) ...
rename the firmware.zip to 0PKVIMG.zip (that's a zero not "O")
put 0PKVIMG.zip on your microSD (not in any folder)
on bootloader select hboot
it will scan the file and ask whether to update
volume up to update
once completed reboot
(remember to remove this 0PKVIMG.zip from microSD after reboot)

Thank you once again.
My phone now propely works thanks to you.
The htc_fastboot.exe seems to have done the trick. What is it that it actually does?
I can't stress enough how grateful I am!

Most probably the HTC encryption on the htc signed firmware.zip only can be read by htc_fastboot.exe
Great that you solved your problem .. you should update to the latest Marshmallow 2.10.401.1
As this is M8s device matter, I requested moderator to move this thread to M8s section

when i type "htc_fastboo oem rebootRUU" it restarting normally and bootloop

HTC 10 Bricked? Bootloop. Don't know what else to do.

So, my GF's HTC10 was rooted and whatnot, mainly cause she wanted to get rid of certain bloatware HTC apps that kept spamming.
After a while she kept getting update notices from HTC which she couldn't install, and more recently her batterydrain went through the roof.
We decided to return the phone to stock.
Enter the problems.
For her phone (CID: HTC_034, S-ON) I couldn't find a RUU exe.
So I went and tried the TWRP backup restore.
It restored, and rebooted, and from there on out was stuck in a bootloop.
I then tried to install the only RUU stock zipfile I could find (1.90.401.5) by renaming it and placing it on the root of the SD-Card.
Enter Download mode -> Get promped to flash -> Get error: ru_main_ver_fail os-version in android-info missing

(Picture: The error message when trying to flash Stock from Download Mode)
When in download mode it says: OS-2.41.401.41
So it seems there is a newer version of android on there, and I can't flash the Stock ROM because of the S-ON.
(Picture: All the info on the Download Mode Screen)
And for whatever weird reason I can't boot into Recoverymode (TWRP) either anymore.
Any help, tips, thoughts and prayers?
At this point I'm at a loss and don't know what to do anymore.
In 8 years of flashing custom and stock roms, rooting and unrooting I haven't bricked a single phone, and I'm kinda afraid I did now, not knowing how to fix it and if it's fixeable at all :x

You can't use that 1.90 RUU because it's a downgrade from your current version and you're S-on.
Try this one, it's the same version you currently have:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634797504
Rename it exactly to 2PS6IMG.zip, place in the root of your sd card and boot to download mode. It'll prompt you to flash it if done right

Thanks for the link (I wasn't able to find any official RUU except the 1.90 one, though I clearly didn't look well enough /shame).
However: Androidfilehost keeps giving me "No mirrors found" when I'm trying to download the RUU ?

Maybe these will work

I should try them. The last digits are only software updates and no firmware update.
So 2.41.401.4 or .3 will probably just work fine. Just try.....it won't hurt

That's strange because the one in the OP isn't even uploaded to Android file host.......

The one in OP from your link is the RUU exe, that one appears to download fine.
Gonna check if it works, though I cant get ADB to work anymore, for whatever reason, so not sure if the exe works, then.

Houston, we have lift off!
The RUU exe did the trick.
But not untill after I uninstalled HTC Sync and deleted the drivers, and re-installed HTC sync (with drivers).
Still many thanks to providing the link with the proper RUU exe!

So, whatever firmware version you are on, run an official RUU.exe from HTC. I seem to be the only one who has this problem with flashing RUUs, but everytime I try. The screen never shows up after the unpacking process. Well, turns out you need to download some runtimes. Get the latest version of .NET, and get ms vc++ 2015 redistrtubutable. I dont run windows, I have it but only for things like that. Or if I have to run odin on a device. Good luck. OH - After u run an offical RUU.exe and are able to boot up and everything.. Before u go changing ROMS and ****, get sunshine and s-off. Trust me, its worth the money.
