Need to return the phone as the usb port is busted. I would like to return to stock, I am currently rooted with a GB rom. What is the easiest way to do this?
[SOLVED]
Super simple, just flashed the RUU from this link in bootloader and was back to stock.

Download an RUU, pull the rom.zip out of it, take ur sd card outta ur phone, connect it to your computer, rename that rom.zip to PG32IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sd card. put sd card in phone, vol down and power to get into hboot mode, following instructions on the phone.

You can use ANY RUU for the INC2 (VivoW)
once you are that, you can just get the OTA and get up to date or just get it back to stock and ship it out.. no need for OTA
link for RUU

When you get it done, maybe make this thread a how to? Change the name and then its in one place.
Since you did post this question in the wrong place ;-)
But for real, updating this op with your results would be awesome for others

if you can't charge your phone, Radioshack's got a nifty recharger that can charge the battery (removed from the phone). I had to do the same thing, but I just ended up flashing with the stock build and left it rooted. You can also use dropbox to transfer the file

i did this just to do it and test works amazing and the guide is VERY detailed
Nevermind.....
So is this essentially a "unroot"? Just clarifying for future if ever need to do this as well.
If you truly want to return to stock, including the bootloader, etc, you can fire up the executable RUU from here. That is what I did to return it.

newbie here,
I have 2.3.4 which I will use a tool to downgrade the bootloader and use revolutionary (I promise to research more into this before I do anything ) but I just wanted to verify somethings.
What is the difference between the restore provided in the link first post by OP and the second more detailed post immediately after?
Will flashing the RUU reverse everything including S-OFF and my downgrading hboot (still learning what these terms mean.) Essentially, will it bring everything back the way it was when I first got the phone?
I would like to unroot my girlfriends HTC EVO. What's the easiest way to do so? All I have done to her phone is unroot it, added super user and wireless tethering. What's the simplest way to unroot it? She's running 2.3.3.

Just run the latest stock ruu, it will unroot you and return to stock rom.
will running the latest stock ruu return the phone to when I bought it? I have not changed the rom. All I did was change turn S off and added wifi tethering. Would turning S on and uninstalling superuser unroot the phone and save all my other settings?

Yes, it will return your phone to stock. Not necessarily from when you bought it, as there have been many updates to the stock rom.

That will not fully unroot you, you would still need to remove the custom recovery you have too. The easiest way is to just run an ruu, it will do everything in one step.
Where can I get the lastest ruu? Will rooting the phone erase/delete anything from the phone?

I'm not sure about Revolutionary since I haven't used it, but with the old Unrevoked you do not lose anything.
Running a stock ruin will not just unroit your phone. You guys have been misinformed. You have to downgrade your hboot 1st, then ruu. Search for "how to indoor revolutionary root????????". That thread has all the info u need.

Yes, everything including your contacts will be wiped from the phone.

Also, you need to power off your phone. Then hold the power button and the volume down buttons at the same time, and let us know what your bootloader screen reads at the top (does it say Revolutionary?) so that we can direct you to the CORRECT unrooting method.

Contacts and calendar should be backed up to google. Login to your gmail on a computer to double check if all your contacts are there. If not, then you need to change all your contacts on your phone from "phone contacts" to "google contacts".
Apps can only be backed up and restored if you are rooted, using Titanium Backup.
Pics should already be on your sd card and will be untouched with a factory reset.
Texts can be backed up to the card with SMS Backup and Restore.

yeah, I was only worrying about apps and there setting...i am rooted...so I will use titanium backup but will it be able to restore on an unrooted phone?

OK so I just got this evo from my buddy and I can get into hboot but os will not boot and recovery will not mount sd card, and also s is on.
Oh and not to mention I'm a complete noob when it comes to htc. So if anyone can help me I would be very thankful.

Take the sd card out and put into a card reader. Put a stock rom pc36img on the root of the sd card and put it back in the phone and boot.
I tried that and it said version is older I think I'm not sure what exactly it said I'm at work right now. Where would be the best place to get a new software update for it

are you sure the phone is even rooted? If you have an active sprint account take it to the sprint store, they might be able to reset it back to factory default.
Also post the exact error message you get when trying to load the file. If we go by guessing we could be here a while.
Well it was rooted and flashed to cricket with cyanogenmod on it but my buddy did something in hboot that turned s on and made the sd card not mount in clock work mod. I will list all the info when I get home

None of those are gonna work until you root your phone. Search on here for Revolutionary Root and use whatever method you use to root your phone. You need to know your Hboot version, which you get when you boot into Bootloader.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't think you needed root to flash a pc36img in the bootloader.
depends which one. The only one that will flash if you're s-on is the RUU for your phone and the Hboot has to match. If it doesn't you'll get the "older version" error. So, the phne needs to be rooted, then flash a custom recovery, preferably Amon Ra
I think he has to flash a ruu pc36img first cuz he cannot boot into the rom. Download the newest 4.54 pc36img and flash that. What does hboot version say?
Support TrevE !!
Yeah, that's what I had gathered. The image I linked to was an unrooted stock image. He'll still have S-ON but he'll need to reflash, his recovery and the SU binaries.

Root is bro!
I'm interested to see if it works. I also want to know how the hell he went from s-off to s-on, because unless his friend started sending software and commands to his phone I would imagine it would be impossible.
I'm starting to wonder if he flashed to cricket improperly and bricked the phone.

I can always download the files directly from the phone but I dont know what files to put on the SD card that will give me s-on. I already flashed stock rom and now all I need is S-On.
just follow the instuctions on the threads. if all elese fails then tell them it was stolen and get a new phone that way. works for me lol
If you unrevoked then you need to flash the 2.15.00.11.19 radio and then the s-on zip from unrevoked site. That will get you s-on.

Hi!
I have DHD from Telus.
I'm about to root my DHD without knowing anything about rooting. So ...
1- After rooting with Ace hack kit. (rooted one time but went back to original had no sound at all) I wanted to know if I flash for exemple Cyanogen or any other ROM, I will be able to get ICS on OTA ?
2- After flashing another ROM will I have to configure anything to get it to work with my oparator (Telus) ?
3- I'm looking forward to put Android Revolution HD or Cyanogen ROM, and wanna get the one with less bugs to start with because I'm really scared doing this manipulation.
Thank you for your help. And sorry if it has been answered.
1. No, you won't, but when it gets released, you can check the forums here and get the rooted version, or install a RUU.
2. It SHOULD be properly set up.
3. If you're asking which one to install, I prefer CM.
First thing to do is make a backup. Thay way if you mess something up or you don't like what you install, you can always revert back.
Sent from a dream.
For now the only thing I can back up is my SD card because I'm not rooted yet. If there is a way to do it without rooting i'll be glad to ear.
Thank you for your support.
Another question...
Will I be able to remove apps like TWITTER or all other apps locked by the phone after root, because this is the main reason for me to get my DHD root ?

After rooting, get a file manager such as es explorer and enable root explorer and write permissions. Then go to the system >> apps folder and delete. Make a nand backup first just in case.

There should be a backup uption in recovery, or you could press "backup existing Rom"
In Rom manager from wich you flash clockwork mod recovery, and it depends on wich root method you use and the exploit, I think advanced ace hack kit does downgrade your radio but will automatically restore the right radio/S-OFF right after you get root access.

Well, if you are not new to this, you will know that flashing a rom will not change the radio...ever. Roms only come with RILS. The Hack Kit, downgrades to a GB version just in the cases where DHD have Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0. Anyway, there are many radios threads in here where you can find your current one. Also, try searching to find your current rom...not all RUU's are available, but yours might be....a little more of information will help as well. What carrier are u holding?

Thank you guys for your help! I really appreciate this. I have read the guide as you suggested.
My carrier is Elisa Estonia, do not think it maybe anywhere here as my country is really small if i tell you the population you gonna laugh!
I did found though the radio that very close to what i have but not quite maybe you know the difference: my is 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M and what i found is 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M.
Also i was looking for CWM for DHD and found only touch version of it not sure if i really want to flash that one. I do not like too fancy stuff it seems have more issues. Do you know where can i get the regular CWM for Desire HD?
And yes, i am aware that if i flash ROM radio stay the same, but as soon as i understood during routing my Radio will be downgrade, but i really want to have this back!
