How do I un-root without a computer?

How would I go about pulling the files from http://rapidshare.com/files/3899834....651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe and flash back to stock using just the phone, not using the computer at all?

Why do you not want to use a computer? and why go back to stock?

Download the RUU zip from there and move it to the root of your sdcard (where u have all your other flashable zips) with a file manager and flash

grab the rom.zip file people have extracted from the RUU, put it on the root of your sdcard. rename it from rom.zip to PC36IMG.zip, reboot into the bootloader and it will analyze the PC36IMG.zip file and ask if you want to flash.
confirm yes and you'll be back to stock in no time!

exactly what this guy said, but to be more specific on how to do it, run the RUU executeable at the first screen minimize the application
do a "start>run" or a "<windows key> + r" and type in %temp% and hit ok, then search this folder for rom.zip and then rename it to PC36IMG.zip *care on if the .zip extension showing or not depending on your windows view settings* and copy it to the root directory of the sd card
restart the phone by power+vol down then it will search then ask you to flash, this whole part is extremely similar to steps in the flipz root method
like I said exactly what he said, just broken down like barney

I ask because on the first post of How to root by toast it says at the end:
HOW TO RETURN BACK TO STOCK BUILD:
-Easy peasy- run the RUU in the first post of this thread. this is the only RUU that after flashing, you will still be able to root using this method. link below:

and there are different rom versions, I think this one has other Radio.
Any ways, i see this as a must have since you can go back to stock ROM on the go if you need it, for warranty/replace/exchange.

Here comes a stupid question. Where is the root on your sd card? Is it anywhere on the sd card or is it a certain directory?

Did what you said rebooted into bootloader but it wouldn't let me flash. What gives I have to unroot to get a new one. Thanks

Use the latest ZIP here:
http://goo-inside.me/evo/stock/RUU/
Move the ZIP from /sdcard/download to /sdcard and rename it to PC36IMG.zip. Check the MD5, then reboot into hboot.

I extracted the root then it top me its a older version can't do it

Sorry but what is MD5, and once downloaded do I have to extract it then flash?

Do not extract.
Do not flash.
Just do what I said to do.
Also, learn to search. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/MD5

[Q] Help. I'm stuck in the middle of a root of my evo via linux terminal/ adb

So I'm not fluent in the linux terminal. I'm basically illiterate, deaf and dumb. So here I am trying to root using toasts tutorial, How To Root The HTC EVO ~ Part-1 \0/
the forum won't let me post links yet., and apparently the software here thinks some part of the code I'm posting is a link.
Anyway I'm at this step,
- At this point it will boot into a rooted rom.
- YOU ARE NOW ROOT!!!
- rename the PC36IMG.zip on your sdcard:
- plug your phone into a usb port on your desktop and do:

I may be root but I had a problem and had to redo this step... my sdcard was not being recognized. After reflashing/ updating I was able to access it again.
Now this rename the zip file step... I'm thinking if I rename it the code I'm supposed to enter isn't going to work. What should I rename it to?
How should I enter this code? first off my sd card isn't called sdcard it's called an 8 digit number.
I tried this (can't post the code for some reason) without changing the name of the zip file. I'm thinking I don't have the locations right because I know the file is in there.
I need some direction to get to the next step.
Thanks

Mods please move this thread....

i have no idea what your doing...i rooted via the unREVOked method...i had to downgrade to 2.1, then actually root...can u send me a PM with what tutorial your following? and also the current info you have for your phone, like what its running (2.1 or 2.2) and stuff of that nature.... we shall see if i can help, not sure but its worth a shot

okay form what i read you have already flashed the .zip. Make sure you clear your data and cache as these will cause boot loops if not cleared. Also you can rename the .zip to anything you want, this just makes it so the bootloader does not try to install the .zip a second time.

I'm running 2.1. I never upgraded. The tutorial I'm following is in thread #690762 I'll try to pm the link but I don't think they'll let me. I thought unrevoked wasn't a full root. I want to unlock nand. I'm also using Ubuntu here, not windows.

I just removed the .zip part. What is the point of the next step, which I couldn't get to work, if I rename the file?
Code:
adb shell mv /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/root-PC36IMG.zip

Well I guess I'm going to start over and wait for the latest unrevoked to come back out. Thanks to everyone that tried to help. "NO ROOT FOR YOU!"

You have a lot to learn....
First of all, don't rename the sdcard, rename pc36img.zip. Just rename it to anything you want so boat loader doesn't recognize it and try to update itself. Next, you aren't utilizing root. You do have a rooted boot loader, but you are still using a protected recovery and rom. Install a custom recovery and flash a new rom so you can be cool.

Yes, I know I have a lot to learn. I didn't rename the sdcard, that wasn't possible. I figured part of the problem with getting this to work was the path. My sdcard wasn't called sdcard it was called some 8 digit number. I eventually worked around pushing the file to the sd card by installing the phone as a drive and dragging the file to the sdcard.

After I rebooted and updated/ flashed the file, I renamed the file on the sdcard by removing the .zip. I did this via disk drive on my laptop because I wasn't getting anywhere with the command line.
Again this part didn't make any sense to me, not that most of it does, but what was the point of the next command in the directions if I renamed the file?

Right "I have a lot to learn" I thought following the directions in toasts tutorial step by step would have gotten me to that point. I didn't realize I was just supposed to skip stuff when I run into problems. That kinda seems like what your telling me to do. I thought all of the commands were important.

I was hoping you had some follow up insight dkdude.

if you still on 2.1, try this method (just make sure the files aren't corrupted)

Make sure the file is actually called "boot.img" and nothing else with no new extensions etc...

Does it really say "Cannoth"?
Anyway, apart from has been mentioned before (spelling counts!)
You also want to make sure that the boot.img file is located in the SAME directory as fastboot.exe. It's the easiest way to flash the file.
Otherwise when you execute the flash command, you are going to need to specify the path to the boot.img file: flashboot flash boot c:\path\to\file\boot.img or something like that.
I don't use a Mac but the principle explained above still applies.

[Q] install custom recovery - libsub error:-12

Hello Community,
I tried to install custom recovery using this manual "wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_serranoltexx" (<- cannot use the link function, because it's my first post). I followed every step. At point 9 I have to make commands using the cmd. Unfortunately the result is an Error:
Failed to access device. libusb error: -12
I had two insecurities while following the manual:
At point 4 I had to rename the recovery image but I'm not sure what the recovery image is. What I downloaded was a .tar.md5 file within a .zip. Do I have to rename the .zip or the .tar.md5? The renaming causes a change of the file type and I cannot really understand, why they didn't put the right file in that .zip at the beginnig...this step is a bit confusing
To point 5: I deinstalled Kies and the device driver in the Windows operating system. Since I've done this, there are appearing two devices in the zadig.exe when I connect my S4. I installed the zadig driver for both of them.
Im using Windows 7 x64
I hope someone can help me, for this moment I don't know what to do further...
greets

I don't know about the libUSB error, and I haven't modded a Galaxy S4 mini, but I have installed CM on Galaxy Player. The tar.md5 has to be extracted from the zip; it is in fact a tar.gz file (tar archive compressed with gzip), but you don't have to rename it.
I flashed the Galaxy Player with Odin 3 v. 3.04, after having installed Kies to have the drivers installed. The Player showed in Odin with something like "ID:0 COM"; I then clicked on the "PDA" button, then pointed to the tar.md5, and clicked flashed, and it worked.
Here are my 2 cents :^)

Is your phone rooted? If rooted already it easy! For the most noob method, install ROM Manager from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager and ROM manager will install the CWM for you. From there, its pretty simple.
If it not rooted, that the first thing you'll have to do.

I found out, the .tar.md5 is also a compressed file. If I extract it, I get a file called "recovery.img". At this point it's not very clear what to do. Because there is nothing to rename. And even if you are right, the tutorial would be also wrong.

This is for installing the custom recovery, that's is the root, isn't it? I had the problem that Heimdall doesn't gets access to the device (lubusb error: -12). It's probably a driver problem.
However, I solved the problem by doing another method using odin. The root was succesfull. Afterwards I will flash the custom rom.

No, custom recovery is not rooting. Not my favourite method but it easy enough, try this: http://www.kingoapp.com/
It a universal root for JB and it will prompt you to install CWM afterwards.

After installing the CWM I rooted the device. I succesfully installed Canogenmod 10.2.1. The Tutorial says explicit, that it only helps for 10.2.x but I want to install the Nightly version which is running at CM version 11. If I could, I would ask this questions in the threat but I'm not allowed yet to post in the developers section. "forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474054"
Can I use this tutorial for flashing CM version 11?

[TUTORIAL] Install ROM via sideload

I know most of you already know this, but it may help others because this is very usefull for installing kitkat.
It's a pain to copy an 1,2 GB ROM to internal storage, so sideloading (installing from PC) it's lot easier and faster.
So here's the trick.
Copy the zip you want to install in "adb" folder (archiev attached)
Reboot phone in recovery mode
Optional - do your wipes
If you have CMW
Go to install zip -> install zip from sideload
If you have TWRP
Go to advanced -> ADB sideload
connect the USB cable and run START.cmd
type "adb devices" to check if your phone is recognized and connected (skip if you know everything it's ok)
type "adb sideload kitkat.zip" (replace kitkat with zip's name)
Notes:
Ofc you need USB drivers

Ive tried that a couple times but always i get a "cannot read kitkat.zip" thing, any idea why?

Umm... Did you replace "kitkat.zip" with the actual name of your zip file (or rename your zip to "kitkat.zip")? I know it might be a very stupid question, but I can only read your post, not your mind...

First, there is no way for a rom to use ".rar" extension. After, error means that the file couldn't be read (missing or corrupted). Also you may try my method which doesn't need android SDK, so there is no complications with wrong paths or such.

Ok then simply extract "VDT-V20..." from that archieve. That's the zip you have to install via sideload!

It looks to me that your screenshot is showing contents of a ZIP inside a RAR. What @roscatel means, you should extract the ZIP from the RAR that you downloaded -- it's actually an archive packed inside another archive. After that, flash the ZIP you just extracted using any method (sideload, or from recovery as usual). Do NOT rename RAR to ZIP -- it doesn't make sense, and will most definitely NOT work.
