[Q] I have to unroot my EVO, scared about how to do it.. Help please

I went to the development section and looked at the guide for how to unroot the evo, and I downloaded the S-ON tool and went to download the pc36img and the file isnt there anymore.
I am scared to do anything in the fear of bricking this phone. I am not even sure on how to unroot it all and stuff.
I am not trolling, and I have actually looked. I am sorry I am just new to the root world.. I have to repair my phone tomorrow and I have to unroot it...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What method did you use to root?
What Hboot version do you have?

Ok a lil more information is needed. Also why are you unrooting....
If you are returning your phone just take an OTA update and it will unroot for you, Other methods and links when you post some info on bootloader and previous root method used.. FYI - there are threads in development for both unrooting methods
Edit: Here you go my friend all I put in was unroot htc evo in google and dont be scared its not difficult at all

Sorry again for being naive lol.... thanks!

Alright, flash the s-on.zip via your custom recovery. [ra or clockwork]
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever-son.zip
Download this file and rename it PC36IMG [keep it a zip file].
PC36IMG.zip [not PC36IMG.zip.zip]
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MUSAURP7
Put in on the root of your SDCARD.
Load into your bootloader and accept the update.
Done.

you can also find an RUU and it will do the same thing but go to the unrevoked site and they have info on how to unroot
Edit:
You have an easy phone to root and unroot, if you relax follow directions to the letter you will see its all pretty simple.
Try this link http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever

okay thanked for all your posts guys! Thank you very much. Is there any chance to brick my phone if I do somehow mess this up or anything?

Or like I said you can check your phone for updates. If it takes it will unroot your phone for you as well.

You're not going to brick your phone when doing this as long as you allow the process to complete and power is maintained throughout the process..

with my baseband being RADIO-2.15.00.0808 will i need to downgrade radio or anything before doing all this?

did you check to see if an OTA is available for you. Could save you some time and worries. Also I do not believe you have to worry about your radio although I have seen some people have an issue. I would give it a try first...

I believe you mean 04.08 and that radio should be fine.
Try doing an OTA like playya has said if you don't feel comfortable with our methods.

it says there is no update for my phone under HTC updates...
so do you think its okay to go ahead and try the unrooting process and flash the PC36IMG.zip through hboot after running unrevoked tool and flashing that through recovery EVEN WITH my RADIO-2.15.00.0808?

no matty i just booted into hboot to check again and its 2.15.00.0808

You shouldn't have an issue.
If you really want you can downgrade the radio first.

Flash it in your recovery.

Ah, I see that comes with the newest OTA.
I would downgrade just to make sure.

so go ahead and downgrade radio?

or should i be okay?

Just run this RUU

It's the newest OTA.
Shouldn't have an issue with the radio.

[Q] Getting back to s-off

I first rooted my phone using revolutionary-0.4pre4.zip file to get the s-off and then flashing SuperUser su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip. This worked just fine. I've been ok with the stock rom so I haven't changed it. I wanted the new update when it came out and some threads said I needed to UNroot in order to update. Therefore I ran PC36IMGson.zip which hasn't help me either, but now my phone is back to s-on but seems to still be rooted (since Titanium Backup, Rom Manager, and SuperUser are still working fine).
Now, I'm done with it all and would like to flash some other rom But I can't get back to s-off! revolutionary thinks it's still set to s-off each time I run it, but the bootloader screen still says s-on. Unrevoked doesn't work either since my device is unsupported.
Any ideas???
I'm pretty new to all of this and have been trying to figure this on my own with XDA and youtube videos. So clear, step-by-step instructions is best, THANKS!!
My device:
Sprint Evo 4g
supersonic evt2-3 ship S-ON
hboot-6.17.0001
Radio-2.15.00.0808

You dont need to unroot and grab the OTA update. Just flash the lastest stock rooted ROM. It comes packaged with the latest updates pushed by Sprint.
Edit: This thread is exactly the reason why mods have created stickies. Try putting forth some effort in looking for an answer yourself before creating a thread. You can do this by using the search feature or checking the thread that was an inch below the button you pushed to create this one.

Thank you Concordium, Please use the stickies to learn more about xda before you start asking questions. Also the search feature works wonders, much faster than trying to look through all 5,000+ pages in our dev section alone. Please please please use the tools already given to you.

I was rooted with unrevoked after reverting back from the newest OTA using a guide from the XDA forums. everything was working wonderfully but my dumbass had to try and downgrade to an ancient ENG Hboot. using thefredelement's guide to get back to ENG .76. NOT NOTICING i shouldn't try it with HW version 003/004. unfortunately my phone is HW 003. idk what i need to do to get this fixed or if i bricked my phone. I've got a warranty still so i can always just report it lost pay the 50 and restore from my backup sd card.
anyways, my computer is able to see my phone with fastboot but not adb. i get errors when trying to flash new recoveries or anything but radios (such as fail PU, image update error, data length too large, etc) Trying to do anything with adb shell just says "device not found" (yes, i have the correct drivers installed) I CANNOT get into recovery (i had CWM 5.0.2.2) it just reboots back to hboot or the screen with the three droids skateboarding when i try. sorry ahead of time if this is posted in the wrong section/i just killed some brain cells with my stupidity and lack of experience. thanks in advance for any help and advice i can get! (sorry for the double post, idk how to delete postings)

Remain calm. Let's see if we can get you fully functional.
First, let's upgrade that HBOOT. That by itself might fix you up, if it'll flash through the bootloader. Try the PC36IMG.zip attached to this post. It's for HBOOT 2.15.
If it flashes successfully, it should reboot the bootloader for you. If it doesn't, choose the fastboot option that does, and when it comes back up, try getting into recovery. If you can get into recovery, the next thing you should do is retire CWM and flash RA-supersonic.

thx capt. I actually just filed a clain through asurion, and for my $100 deductible i've getting a brand new evo3d xD so jumping the gun for the replacement actually worked out for me this time!

A shame to send back a perfectly fine OG . But I'm glad it worked out for you. Personally I like the challenge of trying to rescue a soft-bricked device. But I guess we'll never know if it was possible, now . . .

i would have loved to have found out myself. but being on probation and in the process of finding a job I just didnt have the time to mess with it i've still got it so once i get some time i'm going to attempt to unbrick it still. although its useless now that it's been deactivated lol

[Q] UNroot from SD (noob)

My friend just gave me his EVO 4G. Now, as the username suggests, I get to finally replace my Hero.
I wish to unroot it, go stock, and upgrade to the newest official version of Gingerbread. He currently has "King's Room hybrid 3D".
He said he used "Unrevoked". Is there a difference between "Unrevoked" and "Unrevoked Forever"?

HTC Sync has never worked on my computer, so I'm stuck doing this SD.
I can't post in the Development forum and I haven't had any luck finding a thread where a) root is unknown b) unroot from SD. Please move this thread, if necessary.
Please help

1. You don't need to unroot to be on the latest 'official gingerbread' ; There are a few stock rooted roms [nothing fancy, i.e, stock] in the dev section, by brad and i beleive miseryinmotion. Just do a full wipe, then flash the rom. This is best so you can change. In addition, if you go to the latest OTA, rooting it is NOT simple.
2. Unrevoked forever was a zip used to give you root in the early ons of the tool, but the 'forever' zip was integrated into the simple unrevoked tool. The 'forever' was that is gave you nand unlock.

Please heed teh roxxorz. He is absolutely correct. There is no need to unroot to get the official latest GB ROM . It is available here in the forum, along with MANY other custom ROMs, and kernels which may become difficult or impossible for you to try if you unroot now and update your hboot thru an OTA or RUU.
From what I understand, revolutionary doesn't work to root the latest hboot. There is the HTCdev unlock, but that leaves you S-on (nand locked), which I believe means no flashing radios or kernels.
Welcome to the Evo community. You will always find better goods here than what sprint has to offer, but if you want what sprint has to offer,...well, that's here, too. Good luck.
Edit: the hboot 2.10 and radio 11.19 that you currently have is what many members here have been desperately trying to downgrade to (after having a phone replaced or inadvertently taking on OTA ) so they can achieve the S-off status that you currently possess. Lol
Just thought that was amusing and worth pointing out.

[Q] Need Help Unrooting Please

I've been trying to unroot my phone today. It's time to take it in for an upgrade, and so I need to unroot and get it back to stock. I've been having a problem however when it comes to the PC36IMG.zip. I keep getting the error saying "Main version is older, update fail" and don't know what to do. I've tried several versions of the PC36IMG.zip much to no avail. If anyone could just spare a moment to help me out I'd be quite grateful. Here are the stats of my phone:

I rooted many moons ago using Unrevoked Forever, and hence ran the Unrevoked Forever Son zip to get S-ON instead of S-OFF. So the next step is just the PC36IMG. If any other information is needed, let me know. Thank you in advance, and I apologize if this is a noob question.

That information already looks stock. What is your software version? What file are you trying to flash? Any Gingerbread PC36IMG should work.

Software version is Android version correct? If so it is 4.1.1
The file I am trying to flash is the PC36IMG from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141
But like I said, I keep getting that error. My phone currently has CM10 if that is at all relevant to anything. I just want it back stock, like it came shipped, so I don't have any hassles from Sprint people.

That's a really old one. You need a Gingerbread one. The latest one is for 4.67.651.3, I believe.
EDIT: The RUU would work too, but it'll require a Windows PC to run.

I have the M8, which is easily the best device I've ever owned. But if the EVO will hold you over, I'd wait for the next big device. The Snapdragon 805 is a beast.

Do I need a memory card installed to do anything? I can get to recovery without one in, would like to go back to factory and unroot. Thanks.

There is no RUU for you to run, particularly since you're S-on. There is a newer software update than what you have installed, but you'd need to reinstall the stock Android recovery and make sure you're using a fairly stock ROM. You can then take the update.
