Nope, stock was nice and stable. I then used the froyo exploit (z8 or something?), installed rom manager and flashed the zip file from Unrevoked and was back to s-off.

S-on and S-off?

Can someone please explain what s on and s off means. I see it on a lot of threads but have no idea what it means.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
S = security when its on you need a signed ruu or zip from HTC. But the new bootloader that shipped with the gingerbread update won't allow downgrading to a previous bootloader.With it off you can flash a custom backup utility like amon clockwork or twrp
To install custom roms
S on or off is basicly a security check

Hey dvtmg, which root method did you use? Most likely, you have the stock android recovery which will not allow you to do a nandroid backup, or flash roms. You will need a custom recovery (CWM, Rogue, ACS) to begin either of those processes.
I autoroot method

If you run auto root I think it's option 3 to add cwm. Not sure though but check it out.

Yes option 3 is for installing CWM only. As far as a rom I would recommend calk's it will give you the features you are looking for.

Unroot..

OK so I am trying to unroot my dads phone to take it back into sprint.. I ran the ruu pc36img and the ROM is still there.... am I suppose to down grade the hboot from 2.18 to something else to get it back to stock... I did accidently turned it back to s-on already... I'm thinking I need to root it back and s-off then run the hexhboot then run the ruu am I right..

no help????
There are threads on here that tell you how to do it. Just Google the hboot version with unroot and you will find what you need. Or check captian throwbacks signature I believe he has a guide also.

I did his guide but it didn't exactly work.. I am rooting it again and turning s-off and then trying it again
I got it... Followed the steps in the right order this time...
Oh really? Who would have figured it would work correctly if you only followed the directions?
