Need to go from AmonRa to Stock Recovery

So, here's where i'm at now after this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732505
I still cannot use any usb functionality other than charging, and i'm running unrooted OTA1.47 now.
I'm at the point where i'm needing to get the AmonRa recovery off and the factory recovery back in place, but i can't find out how to do it.
I see a few posts that say to run the ruu, but that involves running the exe while the phone is connected to a windows workstation through usb. With no USB functionality, i'm kind of at a loss on how to proceed.
Any assistance or direction pointing would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Fixed it.
Using the RUU for 1.47 worked.
I had to open it, then on the first page select "View Readme", then "Save As" for the read me to figure out what directory the temp files went to and what they were named. Looked for rom.zip, copied to my sd card as PC36img.zip. After that, powered on using Power Button and Down volume and let the phone do the rest.
Grabbed the RUU link from here: http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/

If you have a card reader/adapter, use your sdcard with the reader and plug it into your pc. Download and move the zip to the card, more specifically the PC36IMG.zip file. Pu the sdcard back in to your phone. Hold Vol up and power the phone, and let it load the zip file.

Isn't that still a rooted rom?
I actually loaded a 1.47 stock rom, using the PC36IMG.zip way of doing it. It didn't return me to the factory screen after selecting Recovery, and still loaded the AmonRa one.
I'll try that with that specific file next. I'm downloading RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed.exe right now to try and extract the factory rom and try that way.

Bump. Still haven't found a way.

When you hold volume down and press power, before you select recovery check on the top and see what version of hboot you have. If you have .76 that means you unlocked the nand and from my understanding this is not reversible yet.

.79 right now i believe.

All you would need then is a copy of the stock recovery and flash it and that will replace AmonRA. I may have been wrong about un-rooting after unlocking nand. Check out this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6783326

I went through that one, downloaded the ruu, ran it, browsed to my temp files for the zip image, put it on the phone, and received the "older version" error when it tried to read and flash it via renaming it to PC36img.zip
I'm trying to find the 1.47 RUU to try those same steps, but haven't had much luck.
Of course, i'm trying to work and browse the forum at the same time, might not be the best plan. lol

Just found it.
Downloading the 1.47 RUU now. Hopefully this can take care of putting the recovery back to oem.

Good luck and please post results. I am interested in this as well in case I ever have to do it for insurance purposes.

[Q] evo won't unroot---Solved!-------

Flashed unrevoked s-on. Put PC36IMG.zip on root of phone. Bootloader doesn't recognize the file. Tried RUU. Gets to waiting for bootloader and stops. Says unable to communicate with device. Can I just flash the PC36IMG.zip from recovery like any other ROM? Don't know what else to do.
Thanks
Solved! This is what I did...
1)Uninstalled and reinstalled HTC drivers
2) Flashed a stock, rooted, odexed ROM. I was running Azrael 4.0. Don't know if this made any difference, but I tried the next steps before flashing the stock ROM and had no success.
3) Booted into FASTBOOT
4)Attached USB cable to computer and the phone immediately showed FASTBOOT USB
5) Ran RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe (this RUU matched my HBOOT and Radio)
6)Followed on-screen directions for RUU and 10 minutes later my phone was unrooted, completely stock.
Your success may vary. I had many people respond with the same mantra of "Do A, B, & C and your phone will be unrooted". By now, we should all know that each phone is different and sometimes they just won't cooperate. Don't get frustrated. Just keep at it and eventually you will solve your dilemma.

Did you make sure that the file is named correctly? All caps, only one zip? When you look at the file in Windows you should only see PC36IMG, the zip extension is automatically hidden. If you can see the zip then delete it.
Also double check that it's on the root of your SD card. I'm only saying this because you said it was on the root of the phone.

yea make sure its all caps n doesnt have a double .zip extension like PC36IMG.zip.zip

Sorry, I meant to say the root of the SD card. And yes it is PC36IMG.zip on the card, verified in Root Explorer.

When I run the RUU, is says it is rebooting to BOOTLOADER, then it reboots to the HTC screen and goes no farther. The RUU says waiting for BOOTLOADER for abut 45 seconds and then says a connection cannot be established.

[q] need help asap!!!!

OK SO, I DONT THINK IM A NOOB, BUT APPARENTLY I AM. MY HTC EVO 4G IS ROOTED, AND IM RUNNING CM7. FOR SOME REASON MY RADIO HAS BEEN ACTING UP. MY CALLS DONT GO OUT, AND MY FRIEND SAYS MY PHONE WOULDNT RING AT ALL. I TRIED TO BACKUP, RESTORE, AND EVEN HARD RESET MY SUPERSONIC. NOW, IM STUCK AT THE BOOT SCREEN. IVE WIPED THE DELVIK, THE DATA, AND THE PARTITION. NOTHING. IT WONT LOAD PAST THE ORIGINAL HTCEVO SCREEN. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. ALLL I REALLY CAN ACCESS IS THE BOOTLOADER, AND RECOVERY. IN RECOVERY, MY SD-EXT WONT LOAD, I CANT CREATE A BACKUP, AND I CANT RESTORE. WELL I CAN, BUT I CANT MAKE IT PAST THE BOOT SCREEEEEEEEN. HELP PPLS. PLEASE.

Click on amonRA in my signature to download its PC36IMG.zip file and place it on the root of your SD card (not in any folder). Turn off your device. Now simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text will flash across the screen. Look at the top of the screen and see if it says "S-OFF". Hopefully, it does. If it displays "S-ON" then you will need to re-root. Anyway, the bootloader *should* auto-detect the file and prompt you to install it. Follow the prompts to install. Installation should take no more than 10 seconds. When it is complete, select recovery from the available options on the left side of the screen. If all went well, you should boot into your new recovery. If so, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it EXCEPT the SD card. After that, try to flash a rom. Do not attempt to restore a nandroid backup unless your backups were created with amonRA. If you are able to flash a rom, be very patient during the initial boot. It may take a while. Let it finish. Get your mind set to wait 30 minutes even though it shouldn't take that long.

for some reason, i cant place the img on my sd card? its odd but its saying "insert a disk into drive E" unless im doing it wrong, im not sure i can place anything on my sd card without selecting "turn on usb storage" or is there? thanks for the help so far. just a few more tips and ill be on my way.

Can you get to the bootloader and then into recovery from there? If so, then disregard trying to flash amonRA right now. If you can, then select the MS-USB option or its equivalent if your recovery is ClockworkMod to copy a rom or any other file onto the card.
Posting & Replying from my EVO 4G

yea i can. but ive done all. wiped all, and nothing. what EXACTLY should i do?

Since you're able to get to recovery (I am assuming it's ClockworkMod), go to my initial reply and follow the instructions to flash amonRA v2.3 and everything else I stated. In the meantime, I'm going to locate a ruu for you to flash via your PC that *should* get you up and running. By the way, when you boot into the bootloader, what is the hboot version that is listed at the top of the screen?

and as far as the amon-ra, i cant put it on my sd card at all. so im not sure how to update. man, i thought i knew about all this stuff from a siimple root, rom, and bootloader. guess i still suck i appreciate your help and patience. thank you.

If your hboot is version 2.10, then download the first RUU listed on THIS page. Connect your device via USB to your PC and then initiate the file. I'm preparing for bed. Take care.

Do u have any way of putting the PC36IMG on the SD card with your computer. Like a SD card adapter or anything? If so take the SD card out of.your phone and try to put the IMG file on it that way
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

If u have Clockwork, u can mount the sdcard while in recovery.
Or use another phone to place the img file in the sdcard.

unrooting

sup everyone. Heres my dilemma. My speaker on my htc evo 4g was crackling (damaged). I have extended warranty but my phone was rooted. i started to unroot it. Put pc36img zip on the root directory and i get a fail-pu,partition up date fail. It does not want to take the update. I have read several and tried to run some of the recommended "how to unroot" procedures. End up with the same problem. Any other suggestions. The s-off. Radio-2.15.00.11.19.
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.

downloaded s-0n. took out sd and mounted it on my computer. put the s-on on the root directory. removed and put it in my phone. volume down and powered up. hit recovery. results: wrong image. triangle red exclamation point.

The problem there is you don't have a recovery loaded. Stock recovery [no recovery] is marked by the triangle and red !.
Go here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
Read the first green text , 'bootloader way' to install the recovery. Then repeat the steps of booting into recovery and flashing the s-on after you have amon-ra installed.

Thanks. I followed the the Bootloader way - - Thanks Tiffany84 ^^
Place PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sd card.
Boot the phone into the bootloader by powering the phone down, then press the power and the volume down buttons at the same time.
Once the phone boots into the bootloader the phone will automatically recognize the zip file. It will ask if you would like to update, select yes and let it do it's thing and you will be good to go.
results: radio v2-failed and partition update fail!
update fail!

Well. After working it I find another file: PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.30.651.3_Radio_2.15. 00.09.01_NV_1.77_003_release_157088-signed. Renamed it PC36IMG and unplugged the usb cable connection from my phone to pc and voila! It took the stock image. I am not sure which one allowed me to load the image update. Would you know?
Now that that part is done i rebooted and the s-off is still there. Should I load the s-on the root directory like you said. I dont want to freak up again.
Many thanks

So mine has tried to load this renamed PC36IMG twice now and seems to be stuck in some kind of loop in HBOOT. This is concerning.
Now it's updating (Parsing) for the second time. I hope it gets it one of these times. I'd rather not buy a new phone

need big help install RUU!!!

unrooting friend's phone, downloaded a stock froyo RUU, have s-on...
when I double click the RUU in windows it says it's changing from fresh rom to this, I hit next, it says rebooting into boot loader, then it says error [155] The ROM update utility cannot update your android phone. Please get the correct rom update utility and try again
so I'm giving up on trying to use an RUU, what I need is the most current stock unrooted rom that I can flash in clockworkmod that will remove clockwork when flashed. any help would be HUGELY appreciated

Like everything else on this site I am not responsible for anything that may, or may not, happen to your phone by following the instructions below. I am simply informing you as to what worked for me.
1. Download the following zip file http://www.filesonic.com/file/1893573824
2. Rename to PC36IMG.zip
3. Place in root of SD Card (Make sure this is the ONLY PC36IMG.zip file on your SD card)
4. Boot into HBOOT (press & hold the volume down button while pressing the power button)
5. Once in Hboot highlight and select the "Bootloader" option. Allow bootloader to detect the PC36IMG.zip
6. apply the update by pressing the up volume button when prompted. (will take several minutes for update to apply)
7. Check your Hboot to make sure you have S-on. If not, then **CLICK HERE** and follow Captain Throwback's method for getting S-on.
8. Enjoy newly unrooted phone
Zip file will replace EVERYTHING. Stock splash screen, boot animation, up to date OTA release, recovery, S-ON, and HBOOT.
I used this method last night when unrooting my phone because I thought I would have to take my phone into Sprint today. However, running this zip happened to resolve the issue I was having so I turned around and rooted again.
I would give credit to whomever it was I saw this unroot process from but unfortunately it was late and I was sleep deprived so I do not remember. Either way, I do not take credit for it whatsoever. If I come across the one who suggested it I will edit this post and give the credit that user is due.

The PC36IMG file will unroot your phone and return it back to stock, but if your bootloader reads S-OFF, it will still read S-OFF afterwards.
To return the phone to S-ON, you would first need to flash the radio that I linked through recovery,

then the unrevoked-forever-S-ON file I attached before running the PC36IMG file.
