[Q] Back to stock after 2.2 root method

ATM my phone is completely stock, no roots have ever been preformed on it. If I was to use the root method that has surfaced a few days ago, are their ways to return my phone back to stock with no signs of having ever been rooted and if so, would somebody been kind to create a guide for this method.

Yea i was trying to see about this myself. I'm sure as long as you didn't use "unrevoked forever" to u could just download the latest update off of the htc website and flash that to your phone. But even with unrevoked forever I'm sure there's a fix out there.

Sure. Run the latest ruu and then flash the S-on package. You'll be unrooted stock.

I got that leaked 2.2 ruu(the one to fix the .3 to .6 from xda poji) I would run that and then s-on package and be all good to go?

If you've rooted, you can run the .6 RUU and it should take you back to stock, with 2 caveats:
* If you used Toast's part 2 to NAND unlock, you'll have to try and get your PRI updated, which is hit and miss
* If you used Unrevoked + Unrevoked Forever, you just have to flash the new Unrevoked Forever S-ON package
Do whichever of those is appropriate, then use this RUU:

Its doubtful anyone would work on a rom for a phone thats not permarooted yet

you can't really flash anything and have it stick since the phone is still in S-ON

Why do we need s-off though? My original inc wasn't s-off and I was able to flash anything I wanted, other than update the radio firmware, which I was able to do after I s-off'd it...

INC is not the incredible 2, and the phones are actually very different.
With s-on we can not write to /system on either, except while in recovery, but even then only with signed updates.
The first incredible had a race condition in recovery, that occasionally allowed adbD to run, thus giving more access.

returing to 100% Stock

If I root my phone are there ODIN files or ZIPs to get me back to 100% stock? If so please include the link. Thanks

Inc 2 does not use Odin.

Flash the stock Froyo RUU. You will still be S-Off, though

Follow these instructions carefully and it'll get you back to 2.1 with S-On.

I didn't know you could get S-On. Good to know

Only if you used alpharevX, XTC clip is permanent.

S On but still rooted

About two weeks ago I was going to unroot my EVO but I changed my mind, but I had gotten as far as turning my s On. But it's still rooted I have since changed roms and downloaded root only apps does that need to be off? and that its still on will it mess up anything or charge me for hot spot? And if so how do I turn it off? When I turned it back on I was running froyo 4.5 now I'm running Mikk G 2.5

If you want to regain s-off, it's simple. Download the unrevoked forever zip & flash it through recovery. Having s-on will prevent you from flashing unofficial PC36IMG zips through hboot, and possibly keep certain apps from working properly.

If you have S-On but a custom ROM you are fine. Use your hotspot for free

In order to unroot you need to RUU the phone. either the PC36IMG.zip or the RUU.exe which ever you did the first step which was the s-on patch now you need to complete the process by ruu'ing back to stock....
edit: sorry I obviously didn't fully read your question... just flash unrevoked s-off patch to gain back s-off but everyone is right your fine

Thanks for all the info guys it is greatly apprehended

Need help unroot 004 EVO unrevoked 3

Well here is the bone head move I did.I flashed unrevoked forever S on zip and a error came up so I panicked and pulled battery and reset phone ...
So now I have sprint ROM back on with no super user app on it..Looks just like when I bought it .
But still have S off and don't know what to do..And have to send it back in three days to insurance place ..So i checked HTC update and had one so i acccepted it thinking it would turn S on after I do a system update and still S off on 4.54 version ..confused
Help please ,thanks from the noob

Well, if you took the OTA, you should be on the newer hboot, in which you go to revolutionary.io and follow the instructions. All the files you need will be there.

Thanks,and that will help me get back to S on ..it still looks like a froyo ROM even when the first update said it was gingerbread so i accepted it and phone never changed so i did another update the 4.54 update and still have S off ..

You are going to be forever doing it that way, because now you will be S-OFF twice, once in the bootloader (from Revolutionary) and again under the nv radio (from unrevoked). Then you will have 2 of them to get rid of before you are S-ON, but getting S-ON is going to be complicated regardless. It's much easier to just leave the phone S-OFF and with the latest stock ROM.
First, you need to flash a custom recovery so that you can downgrade your radio, then flash the unrevoked-forever-son tool.
Here is the PC36IMG file for the custom recovery

The radio that you will need to flash through the recovery is here

The unrevoked-forever-s-on tool can be found on this site (you might have it already)

And, finally, you need to to run this PC36IMG file to update back to the latest stock ROM

Unfortunately I don't think so, because I'm not sure if he'll have to flash files in recovery, but he'll still need to be rooted to finish the process, and I know its a round about thing.

I would just run a 4.54 ruu or flash a 4.54 stock pc36img and leave s-off and return the phone. Since you said "send" the phone, I doubt its even gonna matter. What r u returning it for?
Support TrevE !!

You really don't need to unroot, IMO. I still have yet to see one case where Sprint techs checked for s-off on a stock ROM.

He's already S-OFF, so he does not need to reroot. He needs the unrevoked-forever-son tool, since he seems to indicate in the title that he is unrooting unrevoked 3, which is only going to work on an older radio.
If he used revolutionary, then he needs Captain Throwback's PC36IMG file to turn S-ON. Either way, he doesn't need to reroot.
Regardless, it's much easier to just leave it S-OFF.

So here is what happened,my soft keys stoped working,so i called the insurance company and they said they will send me the EVO 3d for free .So i was like hell yea send it .

Just scared to send it back and they find out its unlocked but not rooted .
Thanks for all your time .

Look. The EVO is out dated. It's out of production. You send it back, it's gonna get thrown in with thousands of Evos sent in. Possibly refurbished, but most likely scrapped.

Asurion don't give a crap about s off hell they ship out refurbs still s-off don't evev bother locking em back up
