So I rooted my phone through experimentation. Great learning experience but now i want to go backwards i would like to go back and the methods im finding aren't working so im hoping if i supply someone with my info below that i can get the phone back to returning stock.
Please try to be as specific as possible.
Flash: MiUI 4.0.4
Baseband: 2.12.00.12.19
Kernal Version: 2.6.38.8 -tiamet_evo-v4.1.0+
Below is a picture of my bootscreen.
THank you in advance
If you look here in the general section, there are 2 good threads with good info on the 2.18 hboot of how to root, and in your case, to unroot.

I have Android version 2.2, Baseband version 2.05.00.06.11, Kernel version 2.6.32.17-g9a2fc16 [email protected] #1, Build number 20101014. Is it safe to use just any old RUU to roll back to something like 2.2 or does the baseband and kernel version matter when doing something like that? I have 2.2 and my wife has 2.1 update 1. I would like to get us both to 2.2 stock and then root it from there, rather than a custom mod. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Just make sure you are in S-ON when flashing the RUU and do not have the 09.01 radio installed.
Be very careful and make sure you have the correct RUU or you will only boot into fast boot I did it my self then re rooted.
its really not necessary. every build so far has a rooted version posted here with nothing else changed. not a big deal either way i guess... just wondering why you want to make it harder then it needs to be.
this is a get back to stock thread its in general dinc forum, i cant post links but u can find it. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786436
Thread moved to Q&A.
I have a somewhat unique situation that I haven't been able to peace together after 6 days of searching threads. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!
My elderly mother bought an EVO recently after I bought one and some idiot talked her into running the 3.30 RUU on an EVO with software 3.26.651.6, baseband 2.15.00.07.28, and hardware ver 3. This also upgraded her HBOOT to ver 2.02. From my thread searching, it seems that 3.30 isn't intended for EVO's with HW ver 3 and may impact the phone's performance and/or battery life. I do believe that there was an OTA for her phone for 3.29.651.5.
I am wondering if it is possible to downgrade her HBOOT and sw back to 3.26.651.6 and the corresponding HBOOT version? I would then want to apply the OTA to update to 3.29.651.5, where she should be. She NEEDS to have a stock phone . From searching threads it appears that I need to root her phone using the 'like a boss" method and then run the RUU 3.26.651.6. However, I am unable to find the stock 3.26 recovery img needed. I do have the stock 3.30 recovery img but am reluctant to use a different recovery img.
Help please, if you can!
A little direction if you can...
Anyone? Just looking for a little direction here. Also, trying to follow the rules and keep this out of the dev section...
Not a noob to rooting, just to the EVO. Rooted my old hero and flashed a few diff roms...just want to make sure I have the right info and am prepared before I start rooting the phone. I really have searched MANY threads and I feel confident about rooting the phone via "Like a boss" and illogos's updates but I didn't find anything about successfully un-rooting to a pre 3.30 software version.
Can I just run the RUU for 3.26xxx after rooting? I'm assuming that will be fine with S-Off and an older hboot.
Hey all,
Just want to know if someone can point me in the right direction.
I am following this guide guide but when it comes round to using the Visionary app it freezes and wont do anything.
I have tried temp rooting from boot and also with the phone fully running but still nothing.
I have not updated it, it is showing as ver. 2.2 despite the notice that the update is available to download.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi
Have you downgraded the ROM? Visionary only works on build 1.32 Froyo. If you are already on 1.32 then a factory reset normally fixes most Visionary problems.
I take it you mean the ROM that comes with the phone? The android version I have showing is ver. 2.2.1.
If I need to downgrade to ver. 1.32 how would be the best way to go about it?
Sorry of these are noob questions, I have searched all over trying to get the right answer.
Thanks
Have a look here DownGrade and then here Rooting Etc
or
have a look at the Advanced Ace Hack Kit HERE
The advanced ace hack kit has been getting some good reviews in the forums.
Thanks both, I will have a go and see what happens.
right firstly i would like to apologise if this has been answered many times in various threads but i have searched and keep coming up with conflicting information.
i would like to just say that i am a complete noob at anything like this so please go easy.
all i am really trying to achieve is to get rid of the orange software on my phone and get the wifi hotspot working as no internet connection established comes up.
software version 2.3.3
htc sense version 2.1
baseband 12.54.60.25u_26.09.04.11_M2
kernel version 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb
if there is a guide that is easy to follow and correct could someone please point me in the right direction.
thanks Phil
Simply root your phone and gain s-off then delete the app from the nand memory.
Or you can just root and freeze it with titanium backup.
All the steps for root and all can be found in the stickies in development section. Good luck.
Hey all,
i picked up a used incredible and i totally want to RUU back to 100% stock only to do a fresh root/ S-off. I am currently running the following
android verison 2.3.4
Baseband 2.15.10.07.07
software version 4.08.605.2
Since this phone is older, i am having a lot problems finding the exact files needed without risking my chances to root and go s-off.
Thanks
You are not developing anything.
Please post questions in Q&A section

What is your hboot version? To boot into hboot, power off the phone completely then hold Volume Down and the Power button. To root and achieve s-off you will use one or the other depending on your hboot version:
If .92 then use:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306400
If 1.02 then use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258
If you need to RUU, they can be found at: "pvillecomp.com" under the heading : Stock Images.

If you are s-off i would advise against going s-on. If you want fresh just ruu and then reroot. Going s-on will only make it way harder to reroot, and will not provide any benefit.
