Ran Unrevoked S-On, still showing s-off

Hi, I need to return my evo but I have s-off using unrevoked forever. I ran the latest s-0n tool through recovery (latest Clockwork) and it appears that everything went ok when looking at the log as the s-on ran. But now when I verify it still says S-off. Can anyone assist?

I did, I downloaded the latest s-on tool

See if THIS helps...

Thanks for the link. Ran the s-on about 20 times and still s-off. Guess I'm bringing it in s-0ff and chancing it. Hopfully they don't need to replace and can just fix my power button without ever needing to see the s-off

damn you even flashed the pc36img in bootloader and you still cant get s-on? huh... Hopefully it all works out for ya! Goodluck man

You need to run the ruu after flashing s on zip

Instructions said s-on first then the other zip so i didn't want to run the other one until it said s-on. Thanks guys

Yup, s on first. I'm not sure why its not taking. Maybe download it again, and possibly use a different recovery to try flashing it? Try using rom manager to flash Among RA, then try again.

I'm not sure, but I think after running s-ON and then the RUU, it'll show up as S-On.
I know it did when I ran RUU last week, after running the S-On tool, but tbh, I didn't check before running the RUU.

You do want to be sure that the s on tool works. The RUU wont turn s on if you've used unrevoked forever. You'll end up stock, s off, and no recovery to flash the s on tool.

Exactly what I was thinking so I got a zip of my recovery from the unrevoked site to run from hboot since I still had s-off which would allow me to run the zip just incase. I would be able to get a recovery again if running the stock image didn't help.
Anyway, I ran the PC36IMG image with S-off and noticed that when going though the install the HBOOT section installed, installation stopped then just went back to HBOOT where it inspected the PC36IMG again. Noticed right when that happened that it was back to S-ON. Current HBOOT is 93, not sure if it was different before and needed to be on 93.

If your hboot is version .76 it is s-off by default. No need to use unrevoked for anything.

[Q] HELP: Need to Unroot to Stock I have HBoot 0.93 Any help greatly appreciated!

I have EVT2-3 SHIP - S-OFF
HBOOT 0.93.0000
Radio 2.15.00.11.19
PRI 1.90_003
I gotta go back to stock and take it in for warranty I've been having terrible problems with my Evo restarting constantly, screen not coming on, freezing up. I've flashed many roms and gone back to roms i used before that have been stable and same problems persist.
I heard u have to go back to HBoot 0.76 but im unsure which one to download and how to get back rooted with the stock rom for warranty purpose.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks everyone for the help.

Go HERE and download one of the roms with radio 3.29, preferrably the .exe that can be run via a Windows PC. That *should* take care of you.

Try this RUU
Its the latest official from Sprint so it cant be rooted.
You can also just flash any stock rom and kernel, unless they try to go into recovery they wont have any way of knowing your rooted.

[Q] Hboot issues

Hello I've been on this forum for quite a while, but never really posted anything. Right now I'm struggling with my EVO4g because it's having issues updating the PC36IMG.zip in hboot AND it says it is S-on when other programs such as revolutionary's root program. I'll explain everything I did and provide as much information in return for some help. Also I have googled this issue and no place seems to have a solution to the issues on my EVO.
What went down:
-Decided I want to unroot my phone and start from scratch
-Tried unrooting using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141
-Says i have S-on and Hboot 6.17
-Tried rooting with revolutionary, but says I have s-off already enabled. HBoot says S-on though so this is where i get confused
-Tried going into recovery but just get the update picture and then the red triangle over the phone
-Try flashing RA recovery PC36IMG.zip through Hboot but never asks to update when it scans the img
My questions are Why is it saying I have s-on when revolutionary is saying I have s-off and how do I fix this? Why does my Hboot refuse to update through a PC36IMG.zip and how do i fix this?

This is because of your hboot 6.16. That's the hboot that revolutionary gives you after you s-off so it thinks your s-off already. What you have to do is run the ruu again and it will revert your hboot back to 2.16 so you can rerun revolutionary
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Also the reasons the PC36IMG.zip you tried to flash do not work is because your s-on the ONLY thing that will flash in the bootloader is something signed by HTC so trying to flash a recovery ect do not work. Only things signed by HTC are ruus

Here, try this. I was having this same issue and got it fixed. After I ran this RUU there was one more update, but BE CAREFUL. Don't accept the latest update from HTC/Sprint because it changes and locks your HBOOT and there's no way to root it yet. Hope this helps. I ran the ruu, let it do it's thing, accepted one update tht still had HBOOT 2.16, then rooted my phone like normal. Funny thing is, I didn't understand what ANY of this meant just a few days ago, but after 8 hours of reading and scratching my head.. it hit me and it's all pretty simple.

since your on 2.3.5 you most likely have hboot 2.18. Your root method is going to be HTCdev.com. After you s-on unlocked with HTC dev you can either downgrade to a earlier version like froyo or GB and root with unrevoked or revolutionary or you can stay s-on unlocked but lose out on certain things because you wont be fully NAND unlocked(s-off) just unlocked s-on

I would rather use revolutionary as I've rooted a few other people's evo's with that method and it went fairly smooth. What im confused about is the hboot. I have to get the hboot to atleast 2.16.0001 and simply flashing a GB rom won't do that right? So do I need to find the radio thread and find an hboot file and can I even downgrade the hboot from 2.18 to 2.16 in order to use revolutionary to obtain s-off so that i can go back to what i was used to?

Simply flashing a rom wont affect radios ect. With S-on unlocked you CANT flash radios or hboots so you have to do a certain process in order to downgrade.

I have it to where it is currently running Froyo. I followed all of the instructions. I'm not trying to root it using unrevoked as after downgrading, the root access was taken away. The unrevoked app pushes the recovery and sits at a status of "installing unrevoked3 service..." and never finishes. That's where i'm stuck at. I'm not new to rooting, just didn't have to go about it this way the last time. If unrevoked keeps failing, then I will give revolutionary a try if it supports froyo.

^^^^^^^^
what i used. worked flawlessly. will need to provide phone serial number in order to get a beta key, then put that beta key into the revolutionary program, make sure you have HTC Sync uninstalled, plug in phone and leave in charge only, then run the program and it'll automate the s-off and (optionally) flash CWM Recovery for you.
EDIT: I thought the 2.3.5 update updated the HBOOT too? hmm.

RUU or PC36IMG? Some people call both RUUs.
The RUU will not work if you do not have the correct drivers installed. You can find the drivers (FASTBOOT DRIVERS) from this page.
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
You need to install this to your computer, then run the RUU again with your phone connected to your computer while inside the phone's operating system with USB Debugging enabled under Settings/Applications, or in FASTBOOT USB highlighted in red from your bootloader.
If you used the PC36IMG.zip file, then I do not know exactly why it did not work.
