Anyone know of a quick easy way to S-OFF the EVO 4G? I was able to root it but somehow it's back to S-ON.
Need more information as in root method, gingerbread or froyo ect

I used Revolutionary to download root. Would that be Gingerbread?
I'm 3 days new to rooting. Any help and advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes that's gingerbread. Go to settings applications and make sure fastboot is NOT checked then power off the phone then hold the power button and volume down at the same time and post everything you see

I checked for the fastboot status under settings applications but did not see the option.
Here's what I get:
SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-6.17.0001
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO-2.15.00.0000

Do you have a recovery?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yes, I have clockworkmod installed.
So you completed the entire revolutionary process but it never gave you s-off but do you have revolutionary on the top of your bootloader?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I did complete the revolutionary process and it was on S-Off when finished but somehow I did something to turn it back on. Will I need to reinstall the program.. is there a quicker way of turning it back off?
BTW, looks like you have your Evo really set up! Any chance you can send me some links to set up mine? I'm running on Cyanogenmod 7 and I'm not completely happy with it.

First we have to figure out this s-on problem did you flash anything through the bootloader recently?

Hey evo4gnoob, sorry about the delayed response friend. If you could still help me I'd appreciate it.
If I could recall this right, here's what happened: I was able to successfully root my evo4G through Revolutionary. I then tried installing the Cyanogenmod7 rom and ended up with a bootloop problem. I then flashed the Evo4G RUU to return it to manufacture settings. That process fixed the bootloop and installed Cyanogenmod7. I'm pretty sure that was what S-ONed the phone.

Ive never heard of a ruu giving people s-on ? A ruu brings you back to a complete stock unrooted rom and takes away your recovery

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

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.

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.

My phone wouldn't charge the last couple days so I Unrooted and returned to stock, s-on. I used a PC36IMG to return to stock. I took the phone to Sprint and somehow it started working again. They said it wasn't the charging port and it wasn't the charger or battery. I also have 2 different chargers and 2 different batteries of my own I tried. Anyways they gave me the phone back and told me to give it a couple days to see if I have any more problems, he didn't do anything but it started charging again somehow. Anyways before I left he said it is rooted still, even though I thought I Unrooted, s-on and return to stock. Superuser is not installed. How can this be possible???

Which HBOOT do you have? If it were the Revolutionary one it may have tipped him off. Also check your SD card. I've seen them go to Market and look at purchased apps and see if root apps were bought, so don't sync with Google. Run an RUU for good measure, take put the SD card and go back

He also said to bring it back if it has any problems. I didn't think he would say that if he thinks it's rooted. Thanks man.

I would just let them know that any root apps that are synced to my Google account are for a tablet at home, an older phone, or some other BS.
To my understanding; if you take the stuff off your SD card, running Stock and have S-ON, there's really no way they could prove that you were rooted.
It's all about covering your tracks.

The 6.17 hboot is what tipped him off. Stock hboot only goes up to 2.16, Revolutionary gives you a s-off'ed 6.16 hboot. Getting s-on with Revolutionary involves flashing the 6.17 hboot (which isn't stock) which is s-on. If you run the RUU for the latest update, you should get the 2.16 hboot back. You'll need it to re-run Revolutionary.

okay i had a whole bunch of problems with my evo 4g, so i cleaned everything up and restored it back to stock so that i can root and start over again....well in the process i did all the updates required, and i also did the OTA update to 2.3.5 with hboot 2.18, i DID NOT KNOW that we were not supposed to do this until now when i find that i cannot root it..how do i down grade or what do i have to do to root this damn thing now?
Someone show me how to downgrade my 2.3.5 back to froyo using Odin?

rowity and
I'm currently using hboot 2.10.0001 with radio 2.15.00.11.19, I was using hboot hboot 2.18.0001 I read that I could downgrade my hboot to 2.10.0001 that way I can use unrevoked3 to root the phone. I followed all the instructions and used the boot unlocker from htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader and use captain throwbacks method. When I installed the pc36img.img from captain throwbacks guide it seemed to mess everything up. I don't have a custom recovery but I should have one at this point right? I am so confused. I have s-off but it says I don't have root. I did have HTC sync installed when I tried to root it the first time and it failed so I had to uninstall HTC sync.
I can't remember but shouldn't it be "PC36IMG.zip"..? Been a while since I rooted my phone.
