I downloaded the executable, ran it and I get the following error:
USB Connection Error (Something like that)
The phone reboots and just says htc. The executable is waiting for boot loader and times out after a minute or so.
I unplug the usb after the executable errors out and it instantly goes to a boot loader screen with ruu. I cannot run anything and have no choice but to battery pull.
According to the RUU thread, one person mentioned having to complete part 2 of rooting so i did that. I still cannot return this thing to stock!!!
I need to send it back to sprint, but I gotta get it back to stock first.
How the crap do I get this back to stock!
I'd reply in the RUU thread, but it looks like the last guy who posted never got a response...hopefully this thread will get me an answer.
adb reboot into recovery using "adb reboot recovery" then enable USB and run the RUU

I ran in to the same issue just now. I couldn't fix it, but here is how to do essentially the same thing.
Follow this guide to extract the RUU
Rename the rom.zip file you extract to PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card
Reboot into the bootloader, it will load the file and ask if you wanna install it, you should do so
It'll finish and ask if it should reboot, choose yes and boot into a stock phone.
Its a driver issue, at least it was for me, the google drivers don't work for the htc ruu application. You need the htc drivers install for the phone to be recognized by the rom updater. Hope that helps.
i had that issue too, for me it was the drivers. i then used my work computer and it allowed me to use the RUU
I always had to run a ruu from fastboot in order for it to work
YMMV, but I had to run the oldest RUU first when I was at 1.47 level, and then re-run 1.47 RUU for it to work. Otherwise, bootloader would never get pickup up.
I always had to restart the RUU after I got the error first. Run it again after it times out, when your phone is sitting at the HTC screen and it will work.
Just install the latest HTC Sync and you're set. That will fix your issue. Install HTC Sync and run the RUU afterwards.

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. I was able to load that ROM. I think it's still rooted though, I can get to the menu by pressing volume down/power.
Any ideas?
ideas on what?

Any ideas if my phone is still rooted, or what I need to do to get it back 100% to the way I got it from Sprint.
You can always got into that recovery when holding down vol and pwr. If you go to recovery you should only see a triangle and an exclamation. That means you are not rooted.

At this time there isn't a way to get your Evo 100% back to stock. Why do you quote yourself?
^I quoted myself because mattrb thought I was being vague, and I didn't want anyone to be confused, so I emphasized my previous post which was clear enough, I thought....and I was right!
Thanks guys for all the help. In the end, I used the copied the RUU ROM to the SDCARD, named it PC36IMG and restarted the phone holding volume down...the rest was automatic.
hey dreamliner did u use the 1.47 ruu or the 1.32? I am in need of the same thing but I cant get the 1.47 to run...
would this work renaming the zip and copying it to the mSD card?
http://www.sdx-downloads.com/sdx/evo/stock/OTA_Supersonic_1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6_release.zip
I cant get the RUU to extract using process manager, and only once have I gotten the 1.47 RUU to boot the device into bootloader and tried again with the phone on the HTC black screen, unplugged, re plugged and thenran it again and it was giving me the 170 usb error again.

This is the easy solution, worked for me. No need to make things more complicated by extracting the rom.zip.
As bcnice said just run the RUU and when your phone is showing the HTC logo and you get the USB error just rerun the RUU.
Let me just start off by saying poop.
I've been reading up on these forums quite a lot, equipping myself with enough knowledge to get going on using this phone to its potential.
After the anticipation of getting my DHD, I went about rooting it. I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076.
Everything went fine without much trouble. I completed all the steps in rooting it and gaing SU access. Also installed the Clockwork Recovery mod without a hiccup. I went on to install the Android Revolution ROM and going through the guide I used a tool called: 'Easy Wipe Upgrade.'
After installing this zip, the phone reboot and it just refuses to budge. Stuck on the HTC splash screen.
I've held down the bottom volume button with power and it gets me into HBOOT. I've tried a variety of option such as factory resets and nothing seems to be working.
My luck and phones. Just have a very expensive brick now sitting on my desk. Ah
I'd appreciate any help I can get please. Thanks.
I managed to resolve it!
Just FYI. Mounted the USB (Which was hidden fairly deeply) I guess you don't look when you panic? I then dropped on the ROM and installed it and boot up took a while but voila, it worked!
Well done, I would go mental if I bricked my phone. That's why I am still just reading up rather than trying things.

in the exact same situation as you where Could you go into abit more detail how you resolved this? currently have no phone cheers
whats wrong with your phone mate
Just so you know, as long as you have access to the bootloader (can be stock bootloader with S-ON, doesn't matter), 99% of the time you can 'unbrick' your phone by installing a stock RUU (PD98IMG.zip method) which returns your phone to complete stock.
If you install the wrong RUU while ENG HBOOT S-OFF then you can potentially fudge up your phone for good (unless you have Radio S-OFF, then you are fine - just install the correct RUU).
So don't worry, because there is nearly always a way to go back to how your phone was before you started hacking it.

You are not supposed to rename the RUU file, rather you run the RUU file and then afterwards locate the ROM.zip file located in your temp folder. This ROM.zip file is meant to be renamed PD98IMG.zip, NOT the RUU file.
ok that was stupid of me.. ok will try to give it a go..
sorry if this sounds stupid to you again.. but, i just wana be sure.. its my first smartphone..
anyway, i run the ruu file on my pc, yeah? so then when i run it, it asks me to connect my dhd using the usb cable.. so i did... but it couldnt detect my phone.. thus, it couldnt continue it's setup.. ;-( thank you for helping out..
Make sure you install HTC Sync, it should also install all the DHD USB drivers needed.
hey, do you have any step by step guide on doing this? im afraid il do something wrong again and just risk messing up the phone even more..
i have htc sync and the htc drivers on my laptop but when i connect the usb plug to my phone and try to run the ruu.. it still gives me the prompt of no connection from the pc and android phone.. :-| what am i doing wrong? sorry...
thanks in advance for the any help!
i managed to get to the update part.. but now it prompts a 131 error message.. :-( help?

My Evo can't boot in android, it just turn on and restart after the Evo logo appear. And when I press power + volume down button I go in hboot mode, click on recovery and after that it's freeze with a picture of a phone , an "!" in a triangle.
I wonder If I can install recovery in this case or not? and how?
I've download PC36IMG.ZIP and supersonic recovery with sdk tool, so how anyone please help me, I need to try to install another ROM to sure it's hardware problem or ROM problem.

The PC36IMG is the system file the bootloader recognizes as like a system updater. And did you select update and then to reboot, once prompted?

sorry but I don't see the "update" to choose.
I press power + volume down button => it take me to the hboot interface.
The menu there are : fastboot - recovery - clear storage - simlock - hboot usb.
5s later it start to run the PC36IMG file with no notification and log, very fast and disappear.
So, what would I do now?

Two things to double check, to be sure that that the bootloader will recognize PC36IMG. 1) the PC36IMG must be named exactly that. It has to be capital letters, and you do not want it to say PC36IMG.zip, just PC36IMG. The phone automatically recognizes and labels it as a zip file. So if you named it PC36IMG.zip, it will ultimately be named PC36IMG.zip.zip, and will not be recognized.
2) Be sure that the PC36IMG is on the root (main directory) of your SD card, and not within any folders. It won't be recognized if it is in a folder.
If you make sure of those two things, then the bootloader should scan and find the PC36IMG, and instead of seeing it searching and the green lettering pop up, then disappear, you will see it ask you if you want to update, use volume up to select yes. Hope that helps you out.
Edit: And yes, I went to download the PC36IMG attatched above in this thread, and it is indeed labeled PC36IMG.zip. Rename it to PC36IMG (just remove the .zip) That should take care of it.
Also, I never saw this confirmed in the thread, but you were previously rooted and had a custom recovery prior to this problem, correct? And you are indeed s off at the bootloader?

If you're s on and not rooted yet, I dont think you'll just be able to flash recovery. You need to root it first, then flash recovery. You should download an RUU or a PC36IMG of a factory rom. That will get you back to stock. From there, you can run Unrevoked to root it first though (you need to be rooted to flash roms). I will attatch a link with all of the PC36IMG's (you run from bootloader) and RUU's (you run from computer). You can use either method to get the phone back to stock condition (what I recommend). You will at least be able to boot then. From there you can decide if you want to root it and flash a ROM. Read up a bit more also, it will benefit you.

It's not a hardware problem, well, most likely not. Download a PC36IMG from the link I provided for you. It's hard to say which one you need, but try this one first. http://db.tt/gqTAPS1. That is a factory, unrooted ROM for the Evo. It is the latest software, 3.70. It may or may not work for you (you may need an older one, but not sure) What you need to do is download that file, rename it exactly PC36IMG. Put it on the main directory of your SD card. Shut the phone off completely. Hold Volume down and Power simultaneously until you reach the bootloader. At this point, the bootloader should scan the sd card, find the pc36img and ask you to update. You would then press volume up to select yes. Once it starts, let it run through its course. It should take a few minutes to complete, and you will see a couple different screens. whateveer you do, dont pull the battery while it's updating, and be sure you're battery has some charge on it, so it doesnt die in the process. I hope that helps. If that update successfully completes, the phone should be exactly how it came out of the box. Factory Rom. Good luck.

Bit off topic but not really...
My EVO was rooted running cm7 with the latest clockwork gotten from and installed from rom manager.
Ran fine for about a week. Then right after pressing send on a replied email, reboot!
Crap I thought I was gonna have to retype the whole thing again...
Nope, it turns out the email had enough time to send but the phone never did reboot.
Just got itself in a loop. White HTC logo, vibrate, white htc logo,vibrate...
Could get to boot loader but when trying to access recovery I would go back into the same loop.
Kinda gave me the impression that the recovery partition was corrupted.
I was already out so I thought "what the hell" and took it to the sprint store. The tech was looking and working on the thing for literally over an hour on my phone (took about 3 hours from when I brought it in). Then finally the tech came out and asked for me. I was positive he had finally figured out it was rooted and was gonna tell me to screw off. Well, instead he said "honestly, I can't figure out what the heck is wrong with this thing, I'm just going to replace it for you,I'll be right back".
OK so now I'm expecting a refurbed phone with my battery and ad card shoved in it. He came back with a new EVO box...
Then he handed me the new one with the 8gb (I only had a 2 in mine) card and the original battery (I have the extended one). Then he said "your card battery charger and everything else is in the box".
SCORE! Haha sometime I actually like sprint...
Moral of the story: if all else fails take it to the store.s

Hello everyone,
im in urge need of help. I somehow failed while updating to 2.3 :/
I thought that the update was done since the loading bar went to the right and stood there for a good couple of minutes. So i took the battery out. Now as i turn the phone on i only get to see the htc sign on a white background.
I tried holding the volume down key and the power button at once. I get into the recovery menu or whatever it is called. There i've chosen factory reset: i can see a update screen again. The bar doesnt move from left to right though. After 15 sec the phone resets itself and i can see the htc logo again
Recovery only shows me a phone image with a exclamation mark
I never installed anything custom on the phone. It is as i bought it from the shop. I initially had 2.2 on it.
Anyone help please
I will guess you need to put a ROM file on your SD card and select install file from sd card in recovery. If something went wrong during update you proberly dont have a Android system installed right now.
But if your on stock rom I'm not sure if that will be possibl, but hopefully somebody with more knowledge could answear that...
Good luck
If you pulled the battery while it was updating something like the radio, then you have messed it up.
I'd suggest downloading the Gingerbread RUU and trying it again. Sadly you may now lose all the data on you phone.

Click the link in my sig, head to RUUs and download the Gingerbread RUU. Once downloaded, plug you handset into your computer, run the RUU~.exe .
If that fails to work, with the RUU~.exe still running open a search window on your computer and search for "rom.zip", I will be in a hidden temp folder somewhere in your userdata.
Rename this rom.zip to "PD98IMG.zip" and copy to your SDcard. Now turn off your phone, and power on while holding volume down. The bootloader should see the PD98IMG.zip and flash it for you.

dont think that this is possible, as he never had a custom revovery à la ClockworkMod installed. So he cant choose which zip to flash.

Thanks a lot! It works. I had my doubts as during the whole instalation my phone showed the htc logo on the white background several times(i thought that it got worse), but in the end i got it back runing!
So happy! Thanks 1.000.000 times and once again: THANKS!
Which method worked the RUU~.exe or the PD98IMG.zip?
Ok! So i was running fresh 3.5 on my evo 4g and everything was running great. I decided that I wanted to add a battery percent on the battery indicator. I download a zip file that would allow me to do that...I put it on the root of my sd. I tried flashing it with clockwork mod 3.0 but it didnt let me cuz it came up with an error saying to update my binary and script. So i googled on how to bypass that error and it said to use the ra recovery(the other recovery program,i think thats what its called ) so i flashed ra with rom manager. I rebooted my evo and went into recovery and flashed the zip file then a couple of minutes later it said it was complete(no errors came up during the flashing process). I rebooted my evo after the flashing was done. This is where it starts getting weird! I turned my phone back on and after the white screen a black screen came up and didnt go away. After about a minute the phone vibrated about 4 times and the indicator light started flashing green. I couldnt power down so I had to take out the battery. I turned it back on and it booted up to the fresh boot logo. It tried to reboot itself about 3 times and without success the black screen came up and vibrated with flashing green light. Took the battery out for an hour then I booted it to the boot menu, went into recovery to try to delete the zip file and all it did was give me the black screen, vibrated and flashing green lights. I checked to see if s-off was still engaged and it wasnt. S-on was showing. I think some how that zip file made that happen. I have a nandroid backup. I dont have recovery and s-on is engaged. What should I do? This is the file that I flashed( smooth-sense_evo1.0.2_batteryonly ) Sorry if Iam posting this in the wrong section. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Holy Wall-O-Text Batman!
But getting to your issue:
You enabled security again. Flash the stock RUU found in the most up-to-date unrooting guides and go back to stock. Re-root again using Unrevoked and then flash again. Mind you, you will be starting over more or less.
The reason why I'm telling you to unroot and then root again is that you want to get rid of that funky flash. Its the safest way possible.
So I need to unroot first (even though it says s-on)
Then root again with unrevoked
Then flash stock ruu
Flashing the RUU should unroot for you. It will undo any mods except for s-off from unrevoked.
Still no luck.
This is what i have done.
Ive tried rooting again using unrevoked 3 but it doesnt pick up my evo when i plug in my phone. It does come up in my device manager but its not assigned a drive letter. Yes i did enable hboot usb. Yes my drivers are installed right.
Ive tried different ruu's but they wont detect my evo. Ive tried different stock PC36IMG's and they will update with no errors but when it reboots into the the screen with green arrows and a phone it vibrates 4 times then turn off.
Can you guys be more specific on the steps that in need to do. Thanks once again.
Info:
HBoot 2.10
Radio 2.15
I feel your pain, same thing happened to me after months of successful evo hackery. Was very difficult to convey to people the extent of random roadblocks preventing all the supposed fixes. I followed every suggestion, maybe 200 separate tries at a workaround, but in the end I had to trade it in for a refurb.
To flying low,
I still have faith especially with everybody helping me out. I know theres a workaround cuz i still have hboot up and running even tho i lost recovery and rom.
Can i use unrevoked when iam in hboot? Cuz thats the only option i have.(i think)

you need to flash the RUU in hboot or run the RUU in Windows...it doesnt matter whether it says s-on or not all it will do is restore the phone back to its shipped factory settings and unroot you
What you do:
Find and download the latest RUU. I Think this is it: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Sup...51.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459.exe (download should start automatically)
name it PC36IMG.zip
Place it on the root of your sd card (root of sd card = no in any folders, just put it on there).
Boot into bootloader (power off, hold volume down and turn power on to get there)
it'll ask if you wanna parse update, hit volume up for yes.
basically, this will flash the stock rom back onto your phone. Since you're s-on already, this will complete a full unroot. Then simply re-root your phone like you did the first time and you're back in the game
Ok i will try flashing the ruu from the link that you gave me.
Thanx. Will report back soon.
I tried the link but its a .exe file not a zip. So I converted it to a zip file using winrar. I renamed it PC36IMG and put it on the root of my sd. Ran it and it just got to the checking part and it stoped checking. I did it 2 times with same result.I also formated my sd card to fat32.

If you want to run the ruu in PC36IMG form, you need the right file.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip < Rename to PC36IMG, then flash in the bootloader.
The ruu.exe is meant to be run from a computer, with the phone booted into the bootloader, and mounted to the pc in fastboot.
Yes i agree tech roxxorz. I was just doing what he told me. Ive tried RUU.exe before but it wont recognize my evo niether does my computer and iam in hboot usb mode. I will try your link and repot back.

Well you can't do it in hboot usb. You have to select fastboot, connect to the pc, and when it shows up as fastboot usb in blue on the phone, then you run the ruu.exe.
Though either method will work.
So when I click on fastboot on my evo, what do i click on next to run RUU.exe cuz I only have reboot or power down options.

Turn the phone off. While turning the phone off, hold vol+down till you see a white screen with androids skateboarding [bootloader] From there, after it scan, navigate to fastboot with the volume keys, press the power button to select, then connect to the PC via usb cable. When it says 'fastboot usb' in blue, run the ruu exe on the pc.
OK got it. Will report back soon.
Aye aye cappy.
I did what you wrote. The ruu.exe gave me an error 170-usb connection error. I booted into the bootloader by holding down the power button and volume down why the evo is turned off. It scaned the sd card, I selected fastboot and plugged in my usb cable. It said fastboot usb highlighted in red.
