hi i just unroot my evo to take the phone to the Sprint store but now icant gio back to rooted my evo, i cant go to the bootloader to root and install a custom rom....what i can do???
You can't get into the bootloader? You probably have fastboot enabled. Turn fastboot off or pull the battery, then try again.
If you're still s-off, you can flash a recovery as PC36IMG through hboot and then flash whatever you want. If you're s-on, what you'll need to do depends on your hboot version. If you're on 2.10 or lower, use unrevoked. If you're on 2.15 or 2.16 you'll need to run revolutionary to gain s-off, then flash a recovery and either a custom rom or Superuser to root the stock rom. If you're on 6.17 (from unrooting revolutionary), you'll need to run the latest RUU and then you'll have hboot 2.16. You can then follow the directions for rooting 2.16

Pull the battery, then put it back in and hold volume down and power at the same time. Hboot version and s-on or s-off is shown at the top.

Use unrevoked forever then go to hboot.. phone off power + volume down button till hboot is up. Check on top left to see s-on or s-off. Itlf it says s-off you are good to go and nand unlocked..

+1 on that. I had the same prob. That did the trick
Okay thanks I'm gonna give it a try
Once that's done will I have to go back to clockwork recovery to restore back to current state
Tried it didn't work. Does anyone have any other tips ?
Um what's your hboot version. Because I know you have to get .76 for cm6 but idk about other roms but try that. First tell me what your hboot is

my guess would be when you rooted your s boot is still on. it has to be off in order to flash non sense roms. try flashing caulkios http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745205
also go to settings then hardware information. what is your hardware version. once you have this power your phone off then turn it on by holding power down button and the power button this should boot you into bootloader. at top does it say supersonic blah blah blah s-off or s-on. also right below that gives hboot. 0.93.0000 is mine. once i know this i can help more. best guess is s boot is still on though.
Hardware version 003

Do you have a custom recovery installed? Amon_Ra gives you the option to toggle signature verification which is s-off and s-on

No I had clockworkmod and now every time I try to re root it say I'm already s off and I ran root checker and still not rooted

Turn the phone off. Pull the battery, put it back in. Hold power + volume-down buttons. Hold it for several seconds. A screen will come up. Top line, does it say S-On or S-Off?
If it says S-Off, then you can flash custom recoveries (I highly suggest Amon Ra) and flash ROMs and kernels. If you want to stay stock, there is a Superuser.zip around somewhere
mine says s-on . i unrooted using this method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235940.

My phone wouldn't charge the last couple days so I Unrooted and returned to stock, s-on. I used a PC36IMG to return to stock. I took the phone to Sprint and somehow it started working again. They said it wasn't the charging port and it wasn't the charger or battery. I also have 2 different chargers and 2 different batteries of my own I tried. Anyways they gave me the phone back and told me to give it a couple days to see if I have any more problems, he didn't do anything but it started charging again somehow. Anyways before I left he said it is rooted still, even though I thought I Unrooted, s-on and return to stock. Superuser is not installed. How can this be possible???

Which HBOOT do you have? If it were the Revolutionary one it may have tipped him off. Also check your SD card. I've seen them go to Market and look at purchased apps and see if root apps were bought, so don't sync with Google. Run an RUU for good measure, take put the SD card and go back

He also said to bring it back if it has any problems. I didn't think he would say that if he thinks it's rooted. Thanks man.

I would just let them know that any root apps that are synced to my Google account are for a tablet at home, an older phone, or some other BS.
To my understanding; if you take the stuff off your SD card, running Stock and have S-ON, there's really no way they could prove that you were rooted.
It's all about covering your tracks.

The 6.17 hboot is what tipped him off. Stock hboot only goes up to 2.16, Revolutionary gives you a s-off'ed 6.16 hboot. Getting s-on with Revolutionary involves flashing the 6.17 hboot (which isn't stock) which is s-on. If you run the RUU for the latest update, you should get the 2.16 hboot back. You'll need it to re-run Revolutionary.

It's not hard. Just follow the "Guide Below for v2.3.3 builds 4.24/4.53/4.54 softwares to ROOT and unROOT revolutionary method" on his page. You will just need to run 2 PC36IMG.zip files from the SD card.
You don't need RECOVERY.
