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:
Revolutionary
Supersonic EVT3 Ship S-OFF
Microp-041f
Touch Panel-ATMEL224_16ab

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

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!

Thanks for the responses. I tried several times to flash new rom. It didn't worked.
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.

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.

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.

Hello,
About a year ago, I rooted and S-OFF’ed my HTC Desire HD. I ran a lot of custom ROMs and was very excited about custom ROMs. About a week ago, my volume button came off. I wanted to return it to HTC, so I downloaded a RUU and installed it. I couldn’t get it to become S-ON again, so I decided to fix the volume button by myself (it’s completely working again, thanks to glue ).
Now I have the stock software version 2.50.405.2 with Android 2.3.3. My bootloader gives the following information:
Code:
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.09.04.11_M2
eMMC-boot
Apr 12 2011, 00L55:45
So, in a weird way it seems to be S-OFF, but I can’t flash a custom recovery. I’ve been trying to root my Desire HD for about 6 hours now, and I really can’t get it to do what I want it to do. I tried it with AMT ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037315 ), and SuperOneClick. But everytime I try to use GingerBreak V1.20, it keeps hanging on the screen where it tells me to wait. I let it turned on and running for about an hour, but it doesn’t work. (Before the Desire HD can be downgraded , I have to root it first. As far as I know.)
This is what I think is happening: The bootloader has to be ENG S-OFF, instead of SHIP S-OFF. But to achieve that, I need to downgrade, and before I can downgrade, I need root acces.
Am I doing something wrong?
I searched everything, and I can’t find it. If I missed something, my apologies.
Can someone help me to restore ENG S-OFF (so that I can install a custom recovery and run custom ROMs), after being S-OFF and flashing a RUU?
Thank you very much in advance!
If I didn’t supply enough information, please tell me, and I’ll give it.
I'm getting pretty desperate, as everything I try fails. I hope someone in this awesome comunity can help me.
Kind regards, Tom.
You merely need to fastboot flash a recovery.img. Instructions are part of post #7 in the link in my signature.
Thanks for your reply!
I thought that I posted a reply a couple days ago, but it seems not to be placed. I might failed to press the "post" button.
It's fixed now, I flashed an ENG S-OFF HBOOT (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248608). Now, I can flash as much ROMs as my DHD can!
