Well my Evo's charging port broke a couple of days ago and I took it in to Sprint to see what they could do. Well they told me I have to Unroot if I want the insurance to cover it. The charging port is broken so how do I unroot it and everything from my phone. Also my contract ends in november so is there a chance I can get a Evo 3D instead of my OG evo without renewing my contract?
**BUMP**
anyone???

I think I used unrevoked
radio: 2.15.00.0808
S-Off
H-Boot:0.97.0000
Do you think they check to see if my phone has S-On at sprint?
I already have stock ROM on it, so they cant figure out if my phone is rooted unless they go into recovery. So what do you think I should do?
Anyone???

Can not do the first one because the charging/data port doesnt work so I cant connect it to the PC :/

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.

See the first "My Links" link in my sig for everything you need to fully unroot. The 2.15.00.11.19 radio is linked, and well as the S-ON zip. Then I have some stock ROMs you can flash in HBOOT to finish the job .

I went to this topic and tried rooting my phone that way, I did everything it instructed but it never verified the files in the zip, it found the file and scanned it and there was a blue loading bar that showed it was doing something but it never asked me if I wanted to flash. I'm running Sprint HTC EVO 4g 2.3.3 unrooted, I've tried unrevoked but unfortunately I only have access to a computer as a Guest account. When I tried it I had loads of files on my SD card, should my SD card be formatted and PC36IMG.zip be the only file? Do I have to extract the files before trying flash? Am I wasting my time and I already have to have root access to make this work? Sorry if these are dumb questions I'm a n00b.:/ plz help

You dont extract the file first. Make sure you download the Unrevoked and follow its instructions. Including when to connect your usb. as for the files on your sdcard you dont need to delete them. I would suggest backing up your pics and such before rooting, and loading any new rom.

If it turns on, then it's not bricked.
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.

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.

I am not totally new to this since i have my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it is rooted and i use ICS from Cynogeyn group and do all kind of crazy stuff with it, but the main difference is that i have an original image of my Factory ROM and recovery so at any point and time if i need i can get to the "virgin" version in couple of minutes.
That is why i am looking how i can back up my current ROM and Radio. Or to get CWM and root without changing the ROM and Radio. After that everything else i can figure out myself.

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!

Open the RUU
Press WindowsKey + R
Type in "%TEMP%", then enter
Sort the file by date modified and find the folder with a zip that says "rom.zip"
Copy that to your desktop
Close the RUU
Rename the "rom.zip" to "PC36IMG.zip" and place it on the root of your sdcard (not inside ANY folder)
Boot your phone into bootloader (power it off, then hold the power key + VolDown)
The bootloader should find the PC36IMG.zip and commence the update process back to 100% stock
Note: Your sdcard must be formatted to FAT32 for this to work
