Ok. I just got my EVO Tuesday and while I cannot confirm for sure that i had 3.30 to begin with I am pretty sure I did.
Not knowing that the guide i was following to root the device was for an older version I attempted to root, and bricked the phone. I managed to restore the phone using "RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.29.651.5_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_CNV_release_150224_signed.exe" and I was back to normal....or so i thought
Now the camera/camcorder does not work. I am assuming that my phone was 3.30 and the 3.29.651 I am on now doesnt speak to the camera the same way. It was rumored the 3.30 builds had camera fixes so this makes sense.
Here are my actual questions, with number 1 being the biggest and most important to me at the moment:
1. How do i get back to the 3.30 version the phone came with? IS there a RUU similar to what i used for 3.29 to restore the phone? Where can i get this?
2. If i cant get back to 3.30, is there any way to fix the camera?
3. How can I successfully root 3.29.651? Ive tried every guide i have found here, unrevoked 3, and the one touch rooter programs, but none seem to work. They all fail applying the radio image with FAIL-PU
I appreciate any support and thanks in advance to everyone who can help

Is it a 0004 hardware?? If it is then it came w 3.30 pre installed. Idk how another rom can break the cam i think its the kernel that plays a roll w the cam.. i could be wrongg tho. Try flashing to a 3.30 build rom theres plenty around. I suggest calk rom or go bare bone stock its over by babiboi thread, two versions deodexed and odexed see what u find bro

Do you have a link to this rom? Can I install this if i am not rooted? I have not been able to root to get to any custom rom
my hardware version is 0003
when i run unrevoked 3 it says rooting success, but here are the last few lines before it fails:
this was triumph
rebooting
when bootloader starts choose hboot usb ----- never goes to bootloader after this restart goes right to phone
i reboot it manually and choose hboot usb
running pre reboot sequence
waiting for reboot
internal error, couldnt find misc
or this happens
scanned a lot of files fast
rebooting
bootloader starts, choose hboot usb
waiting for hboot to be ready
running preboot sequence
waiting for reboot
running root
waiting for root
this was a triumph,reboots to andriod desktop while program says when bootloader starts choose hboot usb
reboot phone manually
waiting for hboot
communication with phone unexpectantly inturrupted, try again
I just replaced my busted EVO for a new one. Has the new 3.30 in it, hardware is 003. After rooting I lost camera/video due to the PC36IMG I had used while rooting. I installed Myns Warm 2.2 rev3 and got camera/video back, so far that's the only one I can get it on. Just for SnG's I changed out kernels to Kings, and sure enough lost camera and vid. Reflashed 2point2 rev3 with stock HTC kernel and back to working cam. Hopefully this will help. I haven't tried Sprint Lovers yet, but I would imagine it would work the same as Myn's. Any other rom I have run (MIUI _CM6.1) no camera again.

any suggestions are welcome
thanks in advance
OK. FINALLY got S-OFF. but i am not root, at least as per titanium backup is concerened. What now?
rooted and uploaded a custom rom, sprint lovers. Thanks to everyone
Yes, it can be done. There is an RUU floating around, and I just successfully downgraded. That said, while recovery was removed, S-OFF was NOT removed.
What I do not know is how this would affect those who did OTA or the .3 release. I did flash down though from Gingersense.
More to come, as I now have to read about how to get Clockwork Recovery back into place.. That's critical now.
EDIT: Blah.. Just FYI, it doesn't look like the RUU I was using was the stock release. But it's Froyo regardless.
EDIT 2: Big Blah.. If you're S-ON, it won't work. Works fine if you're S-OFF though.
What was the name of the file?

Looks like 1.34.605.4 is the stock release, but I'm not positive.
And I'm back to where I was before I ran the RUU. Everything appears to work. No issues getting CWM recovery back on.
This may be an option for those who went OTA and want to get root...they just might not have it with OTA.

Does this downgrade HBOOT so you can root the device? I just picked up a new Incredible 2 on Craigslist, 2 days old. Came with Gingerbread installed

dunno, just called Verizon and getting a replacement, i hope it doesn't have gingerbread on it - that would be sweet.
Ok. I'm wondering if this will work. My incredible 2 has 2.3.3 with HBOOT of .97. Now AlpharevX works with that HBOOT its just that it can't can't get root because of gingerbread. Would downgrading to froyo fix this? Love this phone. Hate the ****ing bloat.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
It looks like it's an issue of security checking. If you could get it downgrade to Froyo, then it should work. But because of S-ON, it won't downgrade. At least, that's the best I can figure.
So the solution would be to just wait until GB gets S-OFF?

Yes. For whatever reason, despite being signed updates, HTC and/or Verizon won't let you downgrade the device. It worked for me because I was S-OFF already though, so it's a "security" issue.
I also have s-off on mine but after I got it I did factory reset and then it downloaded and installed update while it was charging and i never knew untill i looked and was like o crap it updated by itself so i hope this works.

I have to admit, that is very interesting. I wonder if they'd do it for the HTC phones. I know the X had a ****-ton of problems with 2.3.

Damn that really sucks. This is exactly what happened to my sister. I wonder, when did pushing updates with no confirmation become okay? I thought the OTA needs your permission to install?
I have posted several stuff about a situation I am having with my phone.... and I still cannot get it solved fully. I hope I can do it here.
I will try and summarize the situation with some key points.
First here is my current info....
Android Version 2.2.1
Baseband Version 2.15.00.03.04
Kernel Version [email protected]#2
Build Number 1.05.970.1 CL339957 release keys
Software number 1.05.970.1
PRI version 2.11_01c
PRL version 01001
Model Number PC36100
Supersonic DVT1 Ship S-ON
HBOOT-6.17.0001
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_20aa
RADIO-2.15.00.03.04
Now I first rooted using revolutionary and got s-off properly.... I played with some roms and found it fun but not enough time to keep at it..... so I decided to s-on and go back to stock using un-revoked. That semi worked.... I got s-on.... but never lost the root. I still have recovery and everything still shows I have root except s-on.
Additionally, I tried to run the stock kddi ruu and i have gotten every error from 140, 170, 171 and even at one time 130...lol still no luck there. In doing all of that I figured out that the image version on my phone is 4.24.651.1 and I need to get to 1.05.970.1 (the stock kddi evo 4g) but cannot get it done.
Also I am HBOOT-6.17.0001 which is confusing in itself. xhausx helped me by giving me a nanadroid version of my kddi rom but that doesn't allow me to update anything and finding updates here is impossible unless I am running stock without root.
I am not sure if I need to flash a new misc partition, wipe my nand or something else and so not know how to do all of that..... can someone please please please help? I am willing to toss a small reward your way if we get me back to when I bought it.
I think you need to run the RUU for your phone; get it back to out of the box, stock, and just start over.

You have a Japanese Evo, right?
Since it's a different phone, most of the people here will not be able to help you. I could tell you what to do if you had a American Evo, but it would probably either error out or further your problem.
Is there a forum for your specific version? Do things generally work the same as our Evos... like can you use the same RUU that I would use?

The fact that I have a Japanese evo doesn't mean that anyone will not be able to help me. This is actually the place where the developers made the first RUU for the Japanese evo to begin with. There are plenty of pro's here.... we just need to find the right solution for me. Additionally, most everything works the same.... I cannot use the same RUU as you because the cid will come up different and cause me more probs.

Fixed
I have fixed my phone since I last posted this thread... thanks to all those that helped me solve my issues.
so, i been running cm7.1 for a while. but something, somewhere (i think it was the market) was giving me fc's multiple times a day. fixing permissions would last a second. so, i went back to my stock rom, looking to get that sweet, sweet 2.3.4 ota update.
as many of you know, that ota update, rooted or not, fails for...i don't know...everybody? most people? just us lucky few?
well, i went for it anyways. my phone rebooted, the update starts to install (progress bar goes to about 10%), then it craps out, and i get the yellow bang. a battery pull later, i'm back to my stock 2.2 rom. checking for updates says i'm up to date. NOW, THOUGH...
i cannot connect to bluetooth with any of my roms, and when i walk away from wifi, i don't get emails (maybe tests, too) until i'm back on wifi. so, i figure i need to reflash my radio, which is 2.15.00.07.28.
so, can i flash the latest radio here (2.15.10.07.07)? or, should i stick with a reflashed version of what i've currently got. or, do you think there might be something else wrong, besides the radio?
stupid, horking update...
thx!

if you are on the OTA you will need the newer radio. if you did the RUU.exe for the OTA it will install the radio for you but only do this if you do not want root.
if you have root i would hboot the 07.07 radio and flash one of the many OTA based roms in the dev area. or you can go back to CM7 if you like.
thx for the quick reply. i want to make sure i'm clear...
so, no. i am NOT on the ota, as it failed. i did not use the ruu. it really was, actually, over the air. i do have root and would like to keep it. given that, you are saying that it's safe to upgrade my 2.2 stock rom to the 07.07 radio. is that correct?
thx again!

yes the 07.07 radio will work on froyo but gingerbread doesnot work well on the lower radios to my knowledge.
before updated the radio please make sure the md5 sums match. if the zip is corrupt in any way it WILL brick the phone.
please follow this thread on how to do it. LINK
to make sure the md5 match you can use an app called Astro file manager. its free in market.
(i know the thread says there is an 08.08 radio, this is leaked radio and should only be used if you feel comfortable on what you are doing)
thx guys. i reflashed my 07.28 radio and everything is hunky dory!
07.07...i got my eye on you...

Sweet. Glad you got it working.
Sent from my sexy assistant. (AMOLED HTC Incredible)
I have a fairly strange problem. My wife got tired of the Verizon bloatware on her Dinc2 so I offered to root and flash it to a nice rom. Her only requirements were that it work both as a phone and as a camera. After an uneventful downgrade, s-off, root and CWM, we tried aeroevan's unofficial CM9. We found that the camcorder was broken. Next we tried the MikRoms Incredible 2 HD Rls1. This worked beautifully in every respect except one: when I rebooted the phone, it went into a loop. The phone would boot to the opening lock screen.. in some cases I could even unlock it.. and then either turn off or reboot (which one seemed random). After getting back into the bootloader, I tried all the obvious things:
Wiping all partitions
Reloading the ROM
Trying a different ROM
Flashing back to a Stock ROM + root
Flashing back to stock 2.3.3.
In every case, the phone works perfectly with the new ROM up until it is rebooted, after which it goes into a loop at the lockscreen. The only ROM that DOES work is aeroevan's unofficial CM9. It reboots without any issues, but of course the camcorder and camera flash are busted there. At least it's usable as a phone again.
I've looked and looked, and either my google-fu is failing me utterly or this is a fairly unusual problem. Does anyone have the faintest idea what's going on here and how I can work at fixing it?
This is a well known issue with 605.05 software phones (and several other threads already about this). There is a PSA in Development warning this issue exists. Only guaranteed ROMs without issue are AOSP ROMs. If you want working camera, flash CM7.
I have also heard that flashing the radio packaged with the latest software may fix the issue, you can give that a try. You could also try flashing Condemned Soul's 6.xx ROM in development section.

Perhaps you can help me sort out an issue. I tried rooting and getting S-Off by using the tacoroot, and flashing a new radio method. I got to the radio part, and got the radio onto the root of the sdcard as per the instructions. The phone boots into fastboot, and it checks the radio file, but it says incorrect file a few times, and then returns to the fast boot menu. I didn't know if it worked, or not so i tried to reboot the phone normally but at the lock screen it reboots.
I tried pushing the radio file using adb but it doesnt seem to want to connect to the phone anymore.
I followed these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751796
After going through some fastboot options I flashed the recovery from fastboot and it booted up and stayed booted, i'm assuming i have to start over, which I don't care about, I just need some advice about what is up with the radio not wanting to flash.

Check the md5sum, might be a bad download. You won't need to start over if you're S-OFF already, you can always flash an AOSP ROM to get it working and go from there.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I don't know how to check the md5 without adb. Can I do that without communication to the phone.
How can I determine if I'm S-OFF, or flash a rom? For that matter, how do i start over if i need to.

You can check the md5sum from the phone, just use terminal emulator (might need busybox installed). To check if you are S-OFF, boot into the bootloader and it should say S-OFF.

I've noticed that I can use fastboot commands, (sorry, never had this complex of a root job before. Normally they are one-clicks) Anyway, I look at the top of the screen when its sitting in the fastboot screen and it says VIVO_W XB Ship S-ON RL I assume that means I'm not S-OFF, and its back to square one. Right?
