What file exactly
sent from my HTC evolution running a freshly baked gingerbread with the 4gs in it

Uh.....what exactly are you trying to do? PC36IMG.zip is the name given to files that we flash via HBoot. The contents of that zip file can be a vast number of things that change various objects of the phone. Post your question, what you're trying to do, etc. so that we can give you the proper links/files.
Otherwise you may be looking for a PC36IMG.zip that installs a new recovery and instead get one that completely unroots your phone and gives you S-on. So we need more details into what you are looking for.

I need the one that unroots the phone please

Still need to be more specific.
You need an RUU to match your bootloader version, so that is needed.

Check what bootloader you have on your phone.
1. Turn phone COMPLETELY off
2. Press and hold volume down button while pressing the power button
3. A white screen will pop. This is your HBoot.
4. At the top it will tell you what version of Hboot you have. (i.e. 2.15.0001, 2.16.0001, etc.)
5. Take that number and post it in this thread so we can give you a file that will successfully flash to your phone.

2.15.00.07.28. Thanks

How did you root your phone? Did you use unrEVOked or Revolutionary method?

HELP!!!

I followed online videos to install the Cyanogen nightly ROM, and after hitting reboot my phone didn't turn on...i held the power button and the "Sprint" screen comes on..and after that it just turns off again. Please help!!!!
If i pop out my battery, I can turn my phone on and get the htc Evo Screen, and then it goes back to a black screen...where the sprint logo will occasionally show up...and then go black again

I used the downgrading method to get to 2.1, rooted to 2.2 to get familiar with the process (unrevoked 3 or whatever it's called)...and I'm using the amon Ra thing...
(Clearly, I'm very new at this )
My friend did the same thing and had issues as well. Found out later his nand wasn't unlocked properly. When you boot into recovery, does it say s-off in the top left corner of the screen? Also what Eng bootloader version do you have, again this is located in the top left of the screen.

hboot-0.93.0000
Is that what you're looking for?
Yep, you will want to start over again unfortunately. My friend had the same problem you did. You will need the .76 Eng bootloader. Go to unlockr.com and search for nand unlock evo. They have the instructions and files needed to fully unlock nand and get you to the. 76 Eng bootloader. After that, you should be good to go.

Only problem is that the files aren't available in that post. Unlockr uses toasts method and the same files, plus the files on unlockr are still good.

Unroot

Hey quick question, what's the easiest way to unroot? Trying to help a friend, he is noob, and I don't know much about the EVO, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Unrooting
1. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever ; Scroll down to the FAQs, then download the unrevoked s-on zip. This places the security back on your phone, because rooting makes it s-off, and if s-on, quickest way to tell your phone was rooted.
2. Flash that file from recovery, then boot back into the bootloader [vol+down while turning phone on] and verify until its s-on.
3. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip ; rename that file to PC36IMG, place on the root of your sdcard [not in a folder] then flash it in the bootloader. When the scan that normally does nothing, it'll detect that file. Apply the update then reboot. That's a stock 3.70 firmware file, it'll take you back to stock, unrooted, s-on.
Thanks, would it also work if he just went to updates, and got the new gb update, would u run into problems going that though if it even worked?

If he did that, he could brick his device or lose root permanently.
Ok, ya that's what I was thinking, I will just have to go and do it for him, thanks for ur help

And yes, you could. But I don't know why you wouldn't just do it through recovery.
Because I lost root with the ota so don't have recovery
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Just reflash your recovery and su.
If you have S-on then your stuck without root.

If you're s-on then it's not possible. S-on/s-off refers to the bootloader itself.
In technical terms, S-off will let you flash any PB31IMG.zip you want as long as it's built properly. S-ON will only allow you to flash files by HTC. Unless we can achieve S-ON on the newer radio or can get HTC's signing method for their zip files, I don't see it possible if you're S-ON. Sorry.

Go to HTCDev.com, create an account, then choose "Unlock Bootloader." Our EVO isn't listed in the dropdown, so you have to choose "All Other Supported Devices" at the bottom of the list. Install the software they tell you to install, and follow the instructions, and you should be able to unlock your bootloader. Then, you can proceed to flash a custom recovery and Superuser, or a custom ROM.
Do whatever the Captain says for real

Is there any hope??? (soft brick)

ok... so my aunt brought me her phone that she said she bricked... first thing first, its just a soft brick. i can turn the device on normally ( in which it just stays at the htc bootsplash.. i can also boot the phone into bootloader.. i cant go into recovery. when i select restart bootloader in fastboot it freezes the phone up... i have came to a conclusion that she wiped her recovery out completely. heres the problem where i need help..
1. the phone is ****locked**** , and when i try to use the htc dev. to unlock bootloader it will not let me select "yes" to unlock bootloader.
2. s-on
3. usb debugging is disabled im assuming...
4. hboot = 0.98.0000
5. radio: 1.09.01.1111
is there any hope for this phone???
Have you tried fast boot flash a recovery or using an ruu
when i try to flash recovery via flash boot it gives me an error.. htc cant sign the file properly..!!!??? all the ruu methods ive seen require usb debugging to be enabled ive tried them anyways with no luck...
Use the downgrade method in the development section.
Sent from my KangBang'd out vivow
doesnt the downgrade method require you to have usb debugging enabled??? my phone will not boot...
So I guess there is no hope for this phone... I can't get anyone to respond... :/

With a locked bootloader? I don't see how it could work, but you might as well try the downgrade tool, it can't hurt.

I would try flashing a recovery through the bootloader again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185490 check out that thread for more info. I don't think its gonna work because you aren't s-off but its worth a try. I have seen some hboot flash able ruu's before. I will look around after work.

If the one at the previous link will not flash take a look at this one. I believe you need the gingerbread 2.3.4 one based on the radio version you posted. These are also signed so they should be able flash with s-on.

Google search "vivow signed ruu" there are hundreds of posts there with downloads. A signed ruu is an ruu just as it comes from htc. Because it is signed you can flash it through bootloader with s-on.
You will need a newer or equivalent version to the one on the phone or it won't flash.
You will just need to find one with a good download now.
Sent from my ICS Dinc2
Hmmm
Like has been said the RUU posted by CondemnedSoul should work. Just make sure its named PG32IMG. Dont add .zip or anything as you may not be able to see extensions if you dont have then enabled. Once its named PG32IMG and you put it on your SD card by itself not in a folder.
Once you do this pull the battery for a second and put it back. Now Volume down and power to boot bootloader. Give it a sec and see if it will load the image. If it does load it will give you the option to install by pressing volume up. It should start to install and should fix the problem. I have used the file before on my older Inc 2 so I know it works. Hope you get it sorted out.
So I get the ruu to read finally and it freezes on this screen...
