Ok, so this is a big problem for me. I recently got a new evo (little bro broke screen, so i got a replacement) and i instantly tried to root it. I am on hardware 0003 with hboot .79 running version 1.47. As you can see, I have gotten to 2.1 successfully. I started at 3.29 so this was pretty easy.
But now I have a huge problem. My hboot won't let me flash the pc.zips. I name them correctly, and it loads the zip, and even checks it, but just dumps me back at the menu with no error warning or anything. This is a really big problem. I can't even get back to froyo now.
So I downgraded to hb .79 software 1.47 using the rage against the cage and flashing misc method before the pc.zip. This took a few tries for the zip to update as well.
Then i used the flash exploit to try to root eclair. Everything went great. But my pc goes to checking, and then dumps me back at the menu.
Plz help me
Dk
I had the same issue hboot would search but than drop me back at main menu. This pc36 file woorked for me found it in another post let me know if it works.

Thanks jdh. I. Will test in the morning. Could you tell me what is in the pc36img.zip? This would be very helpful for me to know what the he'll I am flashing. Does this fox the problem for pc.zips after it, or what? Any more info?
Did you make sure you have plenty of space on your SD card and that you still have S=OFF? I would also try the eng bootloader (.76) since it comes with S=OFF by default
I do have space, but I don't have s-off. I have just run the flash exploit though, so I think that gives me a chance to flash the eng build and then turn s-off. Correct me if I am wrong. I am just trying to root. Again, s is still on

The flash exploit still works? I figured they would have fixed that by now, thats a pretty big security hole lol
ya, if you can get the # root prompt you should be able to flash the mtd-eng and then Toast's pc36img. Once you have root his part 2 guide should tell you how to do everything.
Edit: ignore that about the flash exploit, I forgot you said you downgraded lol
Hah ya I think that might be the problem. I did downgrade to the1.47, but I think something is broke. I will wipe, and do netarchy's method of deleting two files in 1.47 and then doing toasts part two (wow, fail htc. Only two files?) and report back. I will also check md5 which I have not yet done.
HBoot 76.200
not working. i am starting to get sort of annoyed. i can't even get back to froyo.
i am going to pm steelh. if he doesnt help, i am going to go to toast. unless anybody has any other suggestions of people i should ask before going straight to the root master
Invoke the OTA updates. About 3 times until you get to 3.29.
(Assuming s-off)
Then everything will work and you can flash whatever you want.
as i said before, s is not off. i am trying to get it off. it is much harder to do in 3.29, so i tried in 1.47 and i am stuck now. no otas. i am giving it another shot right now. thanks for trying
You need to downgrade farther. Go to 1.32
Make sure the s-off file is on your sdcard before you do so. You will lose USB until you upgrade back to 3.29
thanks for the suggestion. where can i find a 1.32 pc36im.zip so i can try it? i'm not even sure if it will accept it. could you post a link? i have rooted 1.32 before, so this should be a breeze
I have used unrevoked forever or 3 ( i cant remember) but i just want it off. Is it still possible? Please help me
U can run the ruu that will return u to stock everything
Where can i get the ruu?
Do a search for it here on evo forums. Its here somewhere
Can you post the link for the ruu download? I still can't find it. I'm forum-literate. New to it
this should get you started and help:

This is the correct method for unrooting. Make sure once you're done to remove the files from your SD card because if you bring your phone in and they find those files, they might give you a hard time.

Yes...although I don't see why you would want to. Only unroot if you're bringing the phone back to the store.

Just follow the steps. download (Unrevoked S-On Tool) first to your sd card. flash it! you will see S-on on your bootloader screen. Then download the PC36IMG to your sd card and boot in to your hboot again and it will do the rest it self. if you have even litlle comen knolege how to flash thing its like 2+2! and it works. did it my self 3 days ago and then tuke it to sprint. good luck.
I tried to update my Hboot the other day to .92 i believe from .78. Thinking it was as simple as flashing it through bootloader and thats it. I was stuck at the white htc screen for hours so I figured I was screwed. I wiped everything with no luck and then I flashed something so now my HBoot is 0.77.0000 and my Radio is 1.00.03.04.06. I was previously running CM7 nightlies. After flashing whatever zip I did I was trying to reverse what I did by "downgrading" and what I did was delete everything. I cant boot and I also dont have recovery anymore. I can only use Bootloader. PLease any help I can get is appreciated. If u can tell me how to fix this ill make a 10 dollar donation to your paypal. My e-mail is [email protected] if u want me e-mail any information. Thanks a ton
Try the following link.
You may need to get an usb sd card reader. That way you can put the needed files using your pc.
I am sure someone more knowledgeable will come along to help you.
I read somewhere that if you can get to the bootloader, it might have not neen bricked yet.

Rename it to PB31IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card, Boot into the bootloader (hold vol- and pwr) and let it run the update. After it is done you will be back to a stock 2.2.
I forgot to mention in my initial post that I also updated my radio to the newest 2.15 but still had recovery after I did that and after that is when I tried to downgrade everything and lost my recovery. Didnt know if that makes a difference or not. Thanks for the quick replies
Goos3y that link you sent me says 404 not found.
ok there is hope. I am a littl confused though. Do you have recovery?
No i do not have recovery only hboot. I am using my lady's Droid X with my SD card to put any files on the card that I need to.
http://dougpiston.com/?page_id=108 download the PB31IMG.zip put it on the root of the sd card and flash through bootloader as previously stated. Make sure it is named PB31IMG.zip or it wont get recognized. You will loose root and have S on. Thank doug piston for the dl.

this is not in the right section but if you can still get into recovery restore a working nandroid back up. after that go to backup and restore>advanced restore and restore your boot image. im pretty sure upgrading you hboot erases your boot image.
EDIT: I saw that someone posted a PB31IMG up earlier. I'd try that one first,
This is for the RUU exe.
An RUU is a program which links to any phone that can get into bootloader, and installs a completely unrooted stock image to your phone. It can be done either by using the linked program (an exe) or getting an ruu version that is a zip and running it on bootloader with a specific filename "PB31IMG.zip"
This tutorial is for the EXE version linked below.
WARNING: I have no idea what happens if this is used on an SLCD incredible.
Therefore, you need to know what kind of screen you have, and I'm no expert on that.
DONT use this RUU if you find out you have an SLCD screen.
I am not sure whether android sdk tools or htc usb drivers are nessesary for the ruu, so if anyone can comment on the necessity of these, i would appreciate it.
Heres what you need:
1. A PC
2. The RUU exe file
3. a cable to connect the PC to your phone
4. The knowledge of whether your phone is an SLCD or not.
Instructions:
1. Hook up your phone to the computer
2. Put the phone into hboot
3. Run the ruu
4. If it messes up at the usb detection thing, keep the phone plugged in, exit the ruu program, and then run it again. It should work then.
At the end of this process you should have a fully functional unrooted froyo incredible.
You dont need to give anyone $10. We all want your phone to work.

You will lose root (easy to get back) but will still be S-off.
You can either use the PB31IMG or the .exe method. Just grab the files off doug piston's website. We've had a lot of problems with SLCD owners grabbing the RUU off youtube and other sites then having a screen that no longer works.
I tried the PB31IMG zip method but in hboot after searching through the file it says no image. I am going to try the RUU now. Do i need to have the android sdk stuff on this computer for the RUU to run correctly? I am using a different laptop, one which does not have the driver files installed that I needed to initially root my INC.?

Unfortunately Marty, its not easy to tell which is amoled and SLCD without having the phone on to verify that its hardware revision is 002 or 003.
002=amoled
003=slcd
If you still have the box i'd recommend looking at it.
I thought you loosed s-off but ok. Did you make sure the PB31IMG.zip was not named .zip.zip?

Well, if you run it without them, and it doesnt work, it wont make anything worse. It just wont work, and then youll know. It probably has nothing to do with the SDK and more to do with HBOOT USB drivers. I would say go for it without any of that.
The most important thing you can know is that your incredible is not bricked. Its totally fixable.
I screwed mine up in precisely the same fashion early on, and used the EXE with good success.
Im positive. I got the phone in august of 10 through verizon. I dont have the box anymore. I have looked into it before and think "think" I have the amoled screen.

August = AMOLED
SLCD didnt start to ship until september.
The RUU is loading now. Its at 76% on Updating system. So, if this does work where does my phone stand? Do I need to re-root get s-off and things of that nature?
You will still have s-off. Your phone will be on a .92 hboot with the 2.15 radio. You will need to either rerun the root tool to get recovery back or use a recovery that is flashable through hboot. If using the PB31IMG didn't work for you before I suggest rerunning the tool.
Once recovery is installed do not attempt to restore from within recovery, instead download another rom and flash it through recovery.
Just wanted to drop back in and say thanks to everyone who helped me get my INC back. I really appreciate it and I can throw the BB Storm back in the closet!
Ok, I rooted with unrevoked a long time ago. Broke my screen and need to unroot. I followed the unroot unrevoked guide as closely as I could, but the rom in the link was not found. So I downloaded a different ruu.zip of factory rom, don't ask me which one, because I can't find the link anymore, but currently here is where I stand. Hboot kept saying that the img was older or something, and wouldn't flash. So I did a stupid thing and pushed the zip with clockwork. So now I'm running s-on with clockwork recovery and a stock unrooted rom. So, I tried the next thing, downloaded an 3.7 ruu .exe and tried to run that from windows, but it gives me an hboot usb connection error f*ucking **** 1 thing after another.
This is the unrooting guide I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141
I got s-on, and tried that pc36img but it wouldn't work, originally. Before I went on to screw things up.
I've been at this for hours, something that should have taken 10 minutes if I wasn't an idiot, or bad links, or what ever. Can someone tell me or point me in the right direction, of what to do here, preferably not to a 2 year old thread with outdated links? What should I do?`
A List of android stock RUU zips with radio, pri, recovery all in one would be great, but I give up on trying to find that, its buried or does not exist.
I found this list http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs but its just the rom not everything.
So here is where my phone stands
S-ON
Hboot .97
Clockwork recovery 2.5.0.7<<<<<<
Android version 2.2.2
Build number 4.54
PRI 1.90_003
Angrychair420 here is a stock RUU that I know is good you should be able to run the RUU from windows.
http://geekfor.me/evo/ruu/evo_ruu_1326511/
thanks, that says its img version 1.32.651.1, assume thats safe to use. I assume thats andoid 3.26 which is what came on my phone. Ugh I'm in over my head. Why did my screen have to break, i was totally happy with CM7 and everything the way it was.
what if I wipe my data and caches, remove SD card, put on a PC36IMG.zip and boot the phone into hboot, will it still give me the older version error?
edit: the link you gave me gives me the same error as the other ruu.exe:
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your android phone
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again
Possibly but I did have to return mine for repair and I know that using it as a .exe file trough windows I had no problem. Not sure about making it into a PC36IMG.zip file though I have not tried it that way.

It might. There are 3 PC36IMG files in the first "My Links" link in my signature. You can try them in order if you'd like, if you get the "main version is older" message, but if the first two don't work, the last one definitely will.
Thanks cpt, about to give them a try. Sigh man, this is frustratingly harder than rooting :-D If it was as easy as doing the s-on and copy the pc36img.zip to the root of sd and booting into hboot and DONE, I would of been having a much better day.

yes, they are basically the same method I used in my OP from xda forums.
On to captain_throwbacks second ruu.
Just to make sure, this all isn't in vain, and make you all hate me, after applying one of these successfully, my recovery should go back to factory and no longer be clockwork, right? or wrong, because I'm starting to think I am. But won't taking your device in for service with clockwork be a dead giveaway that it was rooted.
I think I'm just going to go get a new phone for a $100 deductible at this point. and replace the screen my self on my old one and keep it as a backup/test device. Thanks for all the help, but I am surrendering :-D hopefully I can reroot this thing again with unrevoked, since my hboot is still .97 and fix the screen my self.
It generally doesn't matter if its rooted. I've never unrooted since launch day. And I've had 3 screen replacements, 3 speaker rwolacements , a bezel replaced, and camera lens cover replaced (last time, I dropped it off with ICS), about to go get my 4th screen (just cracked it again lol).
Sorry for your experience/frustration.
sent from AOKP heaven
well last stupid question i promise, since i still have clockwork isntalled, i can just restore my CM7 backup, but how do i get s-off back, re unrevoked it i assume?
If your'e worried about the warranty thing, just flash a stock rooted rom, or use a phone repair service. i see three or four repair places on craigslist (granted, that you live in a large city).
yeah no worries. Got it back to S-OFF, and CM7 back on it, just going to fix the screen my self, ordered one for $15.
thread can be locked, deleted, or what ever.
Seriously. Dude, isn't there a sprint store near you?. Just take it in. Put a stockish rom on it if you're that worried about it. They should replace it for free.

Hi! I bought this evo 4g from cl and it turned out to be flashed to cricket.
I want to flash it back to sprint so I can use it. I've read a lot and tried a lot but nothing helps. It looks like my problem is that:
1) it is now unrooted, so I don't have access to terminal so fastboot is not an option
2) it has a bad USB. I don't know if it is the hardware, or because of the previous flash
So my only chance is to load the PC36IMG to SD card and flash it from there. For some reason, whenever I do it, it loads it, checks it and goes back to bootload. This happens to all PC36IMGs I tried (maybe 6-7 of them) EXCEPT the following one:
PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip
However, this one does not work either. After it checks it, it gives the error that "MAIN VERSION IS OLDER"
I searched and found the solution, but all required USB port which I don't have. So is there anyway I can still revive this?
This is my info on top of phone.

It doesn't look as if you are rooted...security is on...you are on the most recent hboot so flashing a prior RUU won't work. I think you will need usb, or pull the sd card out and put it in a computer and put any files you need on them...not sure what steps you found for fixing it.
Yes, that's what I did. I put PC36IMG.zip onto SD card with my computer. But still if either never goes out of the loop or gives the "older" error.
Are you suggesting I should look into downgrading hboot? I think I saw something like that while I was looking through internet. I hope it does not require usb port. though. any suggestion will be helpful.

HBOOT 2.18 is the most recent hboot so you would need to unlock the bootloader to downgrade with RUU. See this thread, it doesn't look like you can without usb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542193
The error message I saw "main version" being newer. I thought it means the PC36IMG is older than what's on the phone. Am I wrong? Was it referring to the hboot? Could anybody explain to me?

It means you are running the most current version either 4.67 or the one that just came out. Both 4.67 and the newest have HBOOT 2.18 which to revert back to an older version such as 4.54 with HBoot 2.16 you would have to unlock the bootloader. You will not be able to install an older RUU without usb port. With the PC36IMG zip, also comes the HBOOT version that gets installed during the process so you will keep getting the error because your phone has the newest version on it.
So do I have both the software version and the hboot version being old before I can do anything, OR I can recover with one of them being old?
Also, do you think my usb port is really bad, or it's the software?
Thanks Man!

Does your computer recognize the phone? if so, then no...its not bad. If its not bad then this gets way easier for you to do. Captain Throwback has a guide that details how to gain s-off on 2.18 (Google unroot 2.18 mikmik). If you are not wanting to root, and just get back on sprint network...try this thread and see if this works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937652 as it is a guide to get back to sprint from being flashed to cricket. You may not need to be unrooted (didn't look). Hope this helps
Edit: of course if the usb port is bad...get it fixed!
The computer charges it, but does not recognize either with HTC Sync or as disk drive. It does not make the little noise when connected either. Is that typical for real bad port?
And how do I fix the port? does it require soldering etc, or just unscrew everything carefully and put in the replacement port? Thanks!

Sorry about the delay...it makes me wonder if it is a SD card issue. You might try clearing/formatting the SD card through phone settings

Not a problem. I appreciate your help.
I did format the SD card once. But at that time, I might not be using the correct PC36IMG. I'll try it again.
But I am totally new on this. Could you suggest the best sequence to try things? And which PC36IMG I should use? (I downloaded many of the ROMs on XDA and only one of them gave me the hope of working but failed because of main version older error). I realize I might be totally using the wrong zip file. Also, should I worry about doing anything like flashing the kernal etc? Most instructions involve USB port and not sure whether my case will need additional tweaks.
Just quick reminder:
No USB. Not rooted. My software version is 4.67... And HBoot 2.18. S-ON.
I'll report back once I try it. Thanks a lot!

Sorry about the delay...it makes me wonder if it is a SD card issue. You might try clearing/formatting the SD card through phone settings

do you have usb debugging enabled?
I'll try it again. Thanks for the suggestion.
Are you suggesting my computer not recognize the phone because usb debugging not on? Or is it needed for flashing with PC36IMG?
I tried it again and made sure the debugging is on, but the computer still does not recognize it. I haven't yet tried to flash it again.
