Unrooting evo 4g help - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Morning,
I'm new to the rooting and unrooting procedures. I bought my phone rooted from a freind and until recently its been having hardware issues that are not being caused by the os. I can make the phone do whatever is needed with enough time just need the correct instructions and files...
I'm not sure exactly what is needed but what i'm currently running 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-g8913be8shade or Cyanogenmod-7.1.0. Recovery mode is Build RA-Supersonic-v3.11.gnm and bootloader.

With all that information being said I'm not really sure which instructions to follow whether using revolutionary or unrevoked. And what files i need to download specifically.
I know how to flash new roms and that i need a pc36img.zip to reset the bootloader and the os currently installed.
I need to take my phone to sprint and most likley get a new phone or warranty it so i need to return it back to sprints roms and S-ON.
Thanks for any help in advance.

You may have flashed the wrong pc36img, try running the RUU from here . You won't have root at first but it will give you 3.29 which is easy to root.
Which root guide should I use for the version of RUU you recommend?

If the 3.29 RUU installs for you, Unrevoked 3.21 will most likely work to root.
unrevoked is one click, but then you have to learn how to stand while you are already on your feet. i reccomend doing it manually. maybe take one more shot, and if that fails, ruu and use unrevoked.
Will I be able to load a custom rom after or do i still need to do more?
Never mind I finally figured out why it would not work I had to do unrevoked twice before it finally worked. Thanks for your guys help.

[Q] Need Help with Unroot Process - PLEASE!

I originally rooted my phone with Revolutionary. I kept the Sprint stock ROM. I want to give this phone to a family member and wanted to receive the latest OTA update.
Following instructions I found here, I achieved S-ON. Here is my boot information.

However, whenever I try the Sprint OTA update, I still get the triangle with the exclamation point.
Did I do something wrong? Do I need to flash a RUU - if so, which one? Please advise on what I need to do to update the phone?
BTW...the phone works just fine as is, but I would like to give my family member the ability to install OTA updates.
Thank you so much for helping with this issue.

You will need the 4.67 RUU.
When I needed to unroot. I flashed the modified 6.17 HBOOT and then ran the RUU through Fastboot. I was back to stock.
every single hboot zip doesnt work and all the RUU file ive tried off the web including here have all said bad file..im sooo frustrated can someone please help
@klm56
If you have issues unrooting, you also could just flash the latest stock ROM. I'm sure the Evo won't be getting any more OTAs, given that it's already EOL according to sprint.

[Q] Unrooting

Hey everyone,
I need some quick guidance. I'll be moving over to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus within the next few days (when it arrives in the mail) and I need to get my Evo 4G back to stock and get the root off (as if I just purchased it from Sprint) because I'll be selling it back to Sprint for a little account credit.
This is currently what shows in my HBOOT:

Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to return it to 100% stock with no root access?
Thanks a lot!
Ricky
Your gunna have to downgrade your radio to 11.19, or earlier. Then you can use unrevoked forever, and use an ruu to downgrade back to froyo. You could just try using a 3.70 ruu, it may upgrade your hboot, and turn security on automatically.
Can you downgrade the radio just by flashing an earlier version?
Yes.. if using recovery to flash, remember it will reboot once during the install process after you select reboot now... Do not pull the battery, just wait... Or brick your phone will be.
Alright, I downgraded my radio to the 2.15.00.11.19 version and used Unrevoked S-ON and it looks like my radio and S-ON are exactly as they should be.
Where do I find the RUU executable to run on my PC to restore the phone now?

Trouble unrooting my HTC Evo

I've been having a lot of trouble unrooting my HTC Evo. I've worked through a lot of the methods I've found posted but nothing has worked. I could really use some help.
The phone was rooted about a year ago. I rooted the phone, but never flashed a different version. It's been on the original rooted version since it was done.
I'm currently running Android 2.3.3
I've got Superuser installed with Clockwork Mod for Recovery
This is what I have done so far.
I downloaded the unrevoked S-On tool and ran it. It didn't work and or didn't change to S-on I tried it at least a dozen times and kept getting an error.
I then ran a different version of the radio because it was recommended and It Did Work.
I then tried Unrevoked S-On again and it still wouldn't work.
I then saw a thread that said to flash the PC36IMG and it would then change the S to On after I did it. I couldn't get the PC36IMG to flash I kept getting an error on that.
I've looked all over for a possible solution and haven't been able to find one. The phone is having some technical issues with the screen and I need to take it back in to Sprint to have it repaired or switched out. If someone could help me I really appreciate it. I don't know if I posted this in the right place, this is my first post.
My root info is:

I really could use some help. Let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks in advance for all your help,

Try this
I am on HBoot 2.18, so you may or may not have to do this. I was on Decksreloaded and could not unroot to take the phone in to sprint. I had to flash a sence rom, follow the unroot instructions, then flash an unrooted stock rom. It would not work with decks on the phone. Not sure why that mattered, but it did.
It worked. Thanks for all your help!

I have been in knowledgeable of root since the Droid Eris and I rooted my past Incredible perfectly fine but it had an AMOLED screen so it was no biggie, so I'm really no noob. Just need really detailed advice lol.
I tried to root my Droid Incredible with unrevoked 3.22 and flash the custom recovery 5.0.2.0 but it failed like many others. It would say my firmware was too new. So I decided to downgrade with a PB31IMG of 2.2 but now I'm at a constant boot loop with the HTC Quietly Brilliant and the Droid bootanimation and cant get past that. I tried to flash the latest OTA from ---> http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22 <--- and it didn't flash because it said it was too old. I'm just tryin to root my Incredible. I need to use my phone. Somebody please help asap! I just bought the phone and I'm not done paying it off from someone. Or if I can get a PB31IMG file of the 6.20.2012 update. Much appreciated.
It doesnt matter if its stock, I just want it to turn on.
I have used the method I used on my old incredible from here ---> http://mobile-overload.com/topic/18-how-to-rootdowngrades-off-234/ <--- so my laptop is already ready for hacking.
EDIT: I can't get passed bootanimation bc I flashed old software through bootloader
Problem SOLVED. Read posts below if you have the same problem, it works.

Use the htcdev site to unlock your bootloader. Then you can fastboot flash cwm recovery, and then flash su thru recovery, and your rooted. Getting s-off takes a couple more steps if you want it. You can follow one of these guides.

It is all done thru fastboot, while in hboot. Just skip the ruu part of the htcdev instructions, as you already have an unlockable bootloader.

Alright. My device won't show up and it doesn't install drivers....so I'm just going to install the drivers in the instructions.....once I remember how lol
EDIT: Didn't need to download drivers. My usb cable didnt read my phone through fastboot but i switched it with another and now it does. I didn't know there was a proceed button on the HTCdev website lol I wondered where the "step # through # came from. I think I may have it from here. Ill update.
EDIT2: I'm at the point where Im re-writing the misc image but when I type "adb devices" in the command prompt it doesn't see my device it says "adb devices listed and nothing shows up. What could I do? I'm so close to rooting this thing. I set it up before when I rooted my old Amoled Incredible and don't think ive changed anything, it shouldve showed up. Please help.
BTW phone now says
