Can NOT get RUU to restore my EVO to stock.

I have followed a few different guides regarding this and RUU will not find my phone. I have ran the program about 10 times and it just wont seem to find it. Also, it takes about 15 minutes for the program to tell me it can not find my phone. I have no idea why it takes so log to NOT find anything, LOL. is there another way to restore it or am i out of luck?
PS. I have rooted with unrevoked3. I need to return my phone so i need to completely stock.

In order to get back to Stock you need do this first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701835 Step 2 and 3.
(Be sure you mark usb debugging) After finish it, turn off the phone press volume down and power to Bootloader screen
wait until load hboot, then in fastboot plug the usb and press power botton and will change to fastboot USB, Then run the RUU. http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
Good Luck!!
Ps: I got same issue when i began root and unroot but after practice is a piece of cake.

First you need put in you sd card the flash-image and mtd-eng.img .Be sure you mark usb debugging . Then you need use the adb shell. I recommend download evo-recovery http://link.geekfor.me/evorecovery decompress and put in you c: drive then open Command Prompt - and type first
cd c:\evo-recovery
will show up c:\evo-recovery next to this type adb-windows shell
will show up a # sign (if you got $ you unrooted)
after # singn type : (line by line)
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img
Put the PC36IMG in you Sd card and follow the intruction to step 3
Good luck!!

I did what you say but my phone does not recognize the PC36IMG file.

did you make sure the PC36IMG file DOES NOT have .zip on the end...the name of the file should be just PC36IMG.
If it is named PC36IMG.zip and you hide file extensions on your computer, the file is actually named PC36IMG.zip.zip

When you did step 2 and type line by line , last line doesnt give you error?
If you continue with same issue with PC36IMG.ZIP, and because you got unrevoked3 , try flash first 147.651.1 stock root.zip here:http://www.mediafire.com/?n2zrnymmdmn Then try again step 2 and 3 in the top of this thread. That's work for me when i tested before unrevoked3
Good Luck

yea thats not a problem at all you probably just have the file named PC36IMG.zip.zip. remove one ".zip", your computer is probably just hiding the extension.

If anyone is advanced enough to root their phone and flash ROMS< kernels, etc, then they should be advanced enough to go to Folder Options and uncheck Hide File Extensions on their computer....

Pretty easy did it 6 times for lots of people u can find the latest ru build pc36img on xda just look for it then get unrevoked forever son from there site when u get that flash it turns s on then get and place the latest ruu build on SD card go into boot loader and let it do its thing bingo stock pm me man if you need more help. Don't forget to delete the unrevoked file from SD card or the pc36img when your done.
Ps don't try those auto programs they can be a hassle.

[Q] Cant Root 2.3.3 unbranded htc desire hd

GingerBreak from http://c-skills.blogspot.com/2011/04...ngerbreak.html
misc_version from http://www.multiupload.com/A9PNGVBWBE
Default rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
and Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Also you will need a clean SD card 1 gig or more should be fine (smaller is better)
Unzip GingerBreak and misc_version into a folder say c:\Downgrade (I normally use 7Zip)
You should have:
c:\Downgrade\GingerBreak with 5 Files
c:\Downgrade\misc_version with 4 Files
Make sure you installed Android SDK's Platform tools and updated your path to reflect this
IE: run SDK Manager and install Android SDK Tools and Google USB Driver pack if you don t have HTC Sync driver running.
Format the SD card and copy the rom.zip into the base of the card, not a sub directory. (Do not unzip)
Now: Plug in the phone to the USB and make sure Debugging is on and the phone is set to charge only.
Then open Command prompt ie: run cmd.exe
Go to your Downgrade directory and test if your adb command is in the path. ie: run it and make sure it lists switches and not say file not found
Then run as follow
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
adb shell
./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
if you fail to get root ie: prompt does not return to # or get a endless sendmsg() failed? Error, reboot the phone and repeat the commands above. The phone I used, took 3 tries to get this right.
at the # run the following
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6
When its done exit cmd and goto your phone, Reboot it while pressing volume down.
It will come up with a menu and follow the update instructions.
You should then be on Android version 2.2 when done.
Please note the rom that is supplied works with unbranded phone only if you have a branded phone you will need to make a goldcard. If you want to know how to make one, google is your friend sorry.
Hello Folks,
I have the same software as mentioned in the first post above:
Android Version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version : 2.1
Baseband : 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel : 2.6.35.10-g0956377 ([email protected]#1)
Build Number : 2.36.405.8 CL47853 release-keys
Software : 2.36.405.8
and tried the solution as given to the reply to the post. I have an unlocked unbranded HTC Desire HD. The cmd window looks like below.
c:\Htc>adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb server is out of date. killing...
*daemon started successfully*
410 KB/s <16830 bytes in 0.04s>
c:\Htc>adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp

C:\Htc>adb shell

$su
su: permission denied

I would appreciate if anyone could help me out. One other thing is the I was a bit lost about the installation of the Android SDK Platform etc...as mentioned, I presume it is required if you don't have HTC sync/drivers installed! Or is still needed?.

Just follow jkoljo method, worked for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
I think you need to run GingerBreak in you method instead of typing su
Hope that will help.

Thanks for the reply mate. It's my mistake, I was actually typing the cmd window in the forum so might have omitted the line actually. So yeah, I did run the gingerbreak following
adb shell
./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
after which it again returns to $. I read in the same thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
that you have to get a # instead of $. So if you get $ then type su to get super user. It is said that a window will pop up on phone after typing su in cmd asking for permission. But I don't get any such pop up on my phone screen. Also, after running Gingerbreak, the cmd just returns the same $. Gingerbreak does not even run as far as I can say.
I wonder why after each adb command it returns:-
adb server is out of date. killing...
*daemon started successfully*
Any thoughts...

Use the adb that comes with jkoljo downgrade pack, and install HTC sync on your PC.

hello.. i have a desire hd with build number 2.37. based on gingerbread 2.3.3 .. i have a unbranded desire hd with s-off.. is it possible for me to downgrade to 2.2.. i followed ur guide using dhd in charge only with debugg mode but every time it gives me erroe that adm is out of date killing deamon started succesfull.. pls help i m fed up with the stock rom .. gingerbread ota is full of bugs and with connectivity problems.. thankz in advance

As far as I know, you cannot temp root 2.37 and hence downgrade is impossible at present
But you mentioned that you have S-off... how is that possible? Because if it is S-off, I am sure you can flash a custom recovery and then flash a custom Rom.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am using the adb that came with the xda thread to downgrade. It's a folder that contains the adb and other stuff like GB........Yes, I do have HTC Sync installed on the PC as well.....so far I tried both my notebook and home desktop...same results. So confused...

I have s-off because when I was on froyo with build number 1.32 I rooted my dhd.. and now I updated it 2.3.3. Check the last post they say u can try downgrading if u have dhd with s-off
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

If you have S-OFF you should be able to flash CWM and install another ROM as naailalzuhir says. If you go to the CWM thread in the development section, it will tell you how to flash CWM from fastboot. When that is installed you should just be able to install a different ROM without downgrading. I think, but lets wait for soebody else's opinion on that.

Do you have anything from SDK running in background? Check your task manager, if you have adb.exe running, terminate it before running adb shell command.
I am assuming that you closed HTC sync software on your PC, plugged with USB debugging mode and charge only.
Hope that can help.

Hmm interesting You can indeed flash a custom Rom then and forget the hassel to root.
See these two posts in the forums for guidance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017364 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948304
NOTE: try to download 3.0.2.6 instead of 3.0.0.5 for EXT4 support.
Cheers

U want to say that if I Ve s-off I can flash custom Rom directly .. irrespective of temproot and that stuff... Guyz do temproot those u Ve s-on.. if this is soo I m on the top of the world

Also one thing does flashing from cwm is different than flashing custom Rom from rommanager.. I installed Rom manager but the option to flash cwm is not clickable .. pls help
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

That should be because you're not rooted so you do not have access to the recovery directory whilst booted into Android. You can also flash CWM from fastboot, bypassing the Android system completely. Instructions how to do that and the CWM files are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003723
Please wait for somebody's confirmation before attempting that though.

There is one more question if sumthing goes wrong while flashing then my phone ll be dead or get reverted to stock Rom.. if any unfortunately phone becomes dead then is there any chance reviving it back again.. I know its a dumb question but matters to me most cuz I can't spend again 30grands buying it...
mechanical engineer

Pls answer me.. I ve downloaded the pd918.zip file and I ve put it in root of SD card... Now I ve s-off. And when go into bootloader screen it analyses the image ask me to update... So am I eligible to do the downgrade process without having temproot...

[Q] Downgrade 2.36.405.8

I have a Desire HD with Gingerbread running. I wanted to root my phone, but it seems it is impossible without downgrading.
I have read the tutorials on this site, but every time I type a ''push'' command, I get a very big list of words, like ''Android Debug'' etc. When I have completed all the steps the resul is a $...
I have also tried the GingerBreak method, but when I do so my phone acts very strange, it won't read my SD card until I reboot and when I start Superuser it says that Superuser has to be closed.
Also I have the downgrade folder, but I think the one I have is for Froyo devices, because the Psneuter file is in there, and no GingerBreak.
So, does anyone have a clear tutorial woth download links for the files I need???
I have searched Google, xda, and lots of more sites, but I really can't find any help.....
Thanks for reading,
Desley

Ok,
Firstly you will need to downgrade following this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
If you are running a branded phone then you need a Goldcard
Found here
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
Then follow this guide to get root and Radio s-off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Then if you want to have eng s-off (to flash radios)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403
I had the same problems you are encountering , as long as you follow the steps through it should go well , of course if you get stuck let me know and I can guide you through it as well.

I have this problem to but i have the right downgrade map with gingerbreak in it. Yesterday i tried 100 of times and at last i got # but i coulden't write anything more in cmd but the # there. NOw today i tried agian with theese steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13367691&postcount=1134
But now i get the Su: Permission denied and nothing pops up in my phone saying do you allow this. What should i do i'm running 2.26.405.8
I have tried the Gingerbreak app to with all the steps but the circel that's spinning keps doing that for like 15min and nothing happens. And yes i have done the factory reset many times and tried agian. Please somebody help

Ok , have you followed all steps I provided above?..
Some things to note are that between each step reboot , it helped me to wipe my sd card.
Have you got the htc sync drivers installed? (make sure htc sync is closed!)
Are you provider locked/is there network bloatware on the phone in which case you would need a goldcard?
If poss can you provide a screenshot of what you have for me and I can help you more

Hi, I'm Maaria, and very very new to all of this!
So I have a desire HD which is locked to all networks except orange. I really want to root my phone so I can customise it and such, and I want to unlock it. I know I need to downgrade and stuff but I don't know how to do this. I mean do I have to get a gold card because it's locked to orange or do I just do it? And I don't even know how to get to the cmd folders or anything :/ I have no idea what to do, I've been looking all over the forum, and internet, this was the best thread I found but its still a bit confusing, for me. :/ I'm really sorry for being a complete idiot when it comes to this stuff but can anyone please help me? I really want to learn how to do it, I'm just totally confused with what to do

Ok ,
Firstly everyones new to this at some point , gotta start somewhere.
You are correct you will need a goldcard to downgrade which is in one of my links above
Cmd= command prompt , you can type cmd in your search bar in windows and it will bring it up for you , our find it in your accessories.
Something important to note, if you've upgraded to 2.3.7 downgrade is not possible at the moment , but keep an eye out as I'm sure it'll happen.
Any questions can pm me and I will help as I struggled for some time and picked up a lot of info from the site .
Good luck

You do not have to create GOLDCARD if your device is not branded (orange, vodafone and such), so you can just use your regular sd card.

My latest problem being when i follow the gingerbread part cmd codes, I get to the last one before temproot and it does its stuff.. the only # i get is at the start of the results being "fre3vo by #teamwin"... the last thing in the results, is says "running exploit" then waits for my next command...
so i try the second to last command (cd /data/local/tmp) after you get the # ... Which im pretty sure i didnt because i get "path not specified" !! i think it may just me being dumb somewhere along the line..
but any helps appreciated!

if you follow those guides i linked you can't go wrong. be sure to follow step by step and read carefully.

Ok.. well il give it another go... i'l create the goldcard again.. i didnt bother doing that after the first time.. i thought once done it was done. but i may have mucked up somewhere so from scratch is the way forward..
Thanks
p.s im 2.3.3 is fre3vo the correct option?...
i saw on another forum, in the cmd codes it was gingerbreak rather than fre3vo or psneuter.. if im doing it wrong where can i get the gingerbreak file ?
Thanks again!

Eventually got downgraded to stock 1.32.. now perm rooted.. next CUSTOM ROM!

there ya go i told you it will work

Really need help. hboot install went wrong

well the story is ive rooted the phone ages ago and i just tryed installing hboot.
when i was in the fast boot menu i always saw hboot in the titles up the top where s-off was and my radio.
well i tryed to install hboot using the terminal emulator method and i checked my MD5sums they all matched but when i turned the phone off it takes like 5 minutes to show the htc logo and it vibrates at the same time for 5 minutes or more then stops vibrating stays on the htc logo for a minute or 2 then goes to my roms boot screen and that i think is about normal boot time. it boots fine into my rom i can use it as normal.
but i cant use my 4EXT recovery or my fastboot or bootloader whatever its called.
i really need help im kicking myself for trying to install hboot just to try install a new radio so any help or suggestion would be great.
plus i originally rooted the phone using the hackkit method and i was thinking of going back to stock but because my fastboot/bootlaoder dosnt want to show i dunno what to do
im not much of a wizz at these things but i try my best

Can you boot into recovery from the rom?

Don't think it worked? I'll take that as a no.
Link me to what you did, the hboot thing.

OK either you know it did not work or it did work which one is it. The I think it did not work just tells me you did not try it.

I skimmed through the page you sent, and I do think it's fixeable. You just need to find someone more knowledgeable than myself. I don't want to recommend anything that could make things worse.
With that said, no idea what the hboot does, where it shows up and so forth. If you care to explain, maybe we can figure something out or, until someone who knows more joins in.
For the meantime, good luck.
Edit: I'm assuming hboot is the white screen before booting, which comes with the hack kit once rooted. Don't know why you wantedbto flash it again.....?

I was going to put it back to stock.
And if no one else joins in then what should i do. If you have ideas please tell im not gonna go racing to try because whats happened but i can always keep them at the back of my mind

Yeah you messed messed up boot loader. Flashing the eng boot on newer dhds causes issues. Here are some steps to fix it that had worked for others. Also you might want to stop in the ace hack kit irc room. They have actually helped quite a lot of people with this even though its not aahk related. Bunch of nice people there.
Note: All md5sums must be 2a28dcd53ea26504be9a86572a348aa1
let the phone fully boot. This may take 1/2 hour, and may vibrate like mad for a few minutes.
download http://tinyurl.com/6fkvepx
unzip PD98IMG-HBFX.zip to a folder you can get to from command prompt or terminal
get psneuter and gfree from hack kit, put in same folder as hboot.nb0 open command prompt and navigate to this folder
turn on usb debugging
Enter the following into the command prompt:
adb push hboot.nb0 /data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0
md5sum /data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0
adb push gfree /data/local/tmp/gfree
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/gfree
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
(should have #)
/data/local/tmp/gfree -f
md5sum /data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0
dd if=/data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
sync
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/data/local/tmp/hboot.test
exit
adb pull /data/local/tmp/hboot.test
md5sum hboot.test
adb shell md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p18
adb reboot

Lol continue writing until there's action, some of the commands don't bring back a report of whats happened. After each command wait like 5/10 seconds just to make sure.
