If you have Unrevoked 3 installed:
1. Download stock Evo Recovery image (Can't find it anywhere... EVO Stock Recovery? - xda-developers)
2. Place the file in root of SD card and reboot into HBOOT (volume down/power button)
3. Do the update that HBOOT asks (vol. up for YES)
4. Reboot
5. Once rebooted, download OTA and install (should work now)
6. Once install finishes successfully you can reinstall a custom recovery using the same method (a list of them are here: public:forever [RootWiki])
7. Once you have a custom recovery back, you will need to reinstall Superuser as an update.zip through recovery ([APP] Superuser 2.3.6.1 - Now on the Market [2010-09-05] - xda-developers)
8. Reboot and enjoy!
Well I followed the instructions and the update went through... HOWEVER I have now lost root.... Help please.
EDIT: S-OFF does appear when I boot into the bootloader...
If you have S-Off, than you have not lost root.
YOu probably just lost your recovery, and you need to reflash it.
This tutorial from tws101 worked for me (I can't post a link as a new user):
"This guide will allow you to install the new OTA 3.29.651.5 when you have clockwork installed and will guide you into re-rooting the phone afterwards. (This does NOT wipe your data)
I am sorry if someone already posted this.
Requirements
1. Froyo 2.2 version 3.26.651.6 (Stock)
2. Clockwork
3. S-OFF
Files to Download (If you have a file manager on your phone you can just direct download them with the EVOs browser)
1. OTA_Supersonic_3.29.651.5 This is the new OTA update
2. ClockworkMod recovery for EVO 4G Clockwork (I know you already have it. This is to reinstall it)
3. su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip Superuser (This is also to reinstall)
Step one
Place OTA_Supersonic_3.29.651.5 on your SD cards root folder. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. Once the bootloader is up goto recovery so clockwork loads up. Choose apply zip from sd card. Choose select zip on sd card. You will see the OTA file on the list flash it. Just wait for it to install it will reboot the phone show a progress bar reboot again they show a percentage etc it takes a few minutes.
Now you have the update installed, but the update removed clockwork and root.
Step two
Place ClockworkMod recovery for EVO 4G on your sd card root folder. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. The bootloader will scan the new will and ask you to press Volume up to install. Install it.
Now you have clockwork installed again. Please remove the clockwork file from the root of your SD card before going to step 3.
Step Three
Place su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip on the SD cards root folder. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. Once the bootloader is up goto recovery so clockwork loads up. Choose apply zip from sd card. Choose select zip on sd card. You will see the SU file on the list flash it.
Now you are updated and rerooted. (I have been told it is possible to just rerun unrevoked instead of doing step 2 and 3. I did not test that method. I am simply showing a different method.)
Update
I am now getting 53 FPS with FPS 2D"
Thanks tws101

You dont take updates once you are rooted, just flash a rooted ROM
First of all - Once you have rooted your phone - NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER do an OTA update from sprint............
Not sure what your software version is or your hBoot, but if you have 2.02 hboot and 3.30 software, then you can do it the way I did...
having said that - You have not lost root, S-Off = Root, you just lost your recovery... all you need to do is flash a new custom recovery. I use Amon_Ra, but clockwork will work as well... what ever your preferance is...
I cant find the amon_ra that I used, so here is the new CW (attachment 1) - download it - rename it to just (all CAPS except extention!!) "PC36IMG.zip" - Then save it to the root of your SD card. Also save attachment 2 to the root of your SD card.
Boot into hBoot, it will scan the SD card for the PC36IMG.zip - when it asks to do update - click yes... After update completes it will ask to reboot - click NO, then scroll down to flash the superuser app (2nd attachment), I forget what exactly it says but its some thing like "flash from SDcard" or some thing like that...
after you flash the SU.apk, then reboot and if all is good - download ROM manger and flash the Amon_Ra recovery (3rd attachment) and make a NAND backup with Amon_Ra first - cause I'll be honest - I used the CWmod first and I had a bunch of Force Close issues after I did a NAND backup with CW...
Good luck!
Hi all,
Today i was trying to flash the radio for my HTC wildfire
version: 13.55.55.2424H_3.35.20.10 (same as the one on my phone now)
What i have done:
1-renamed the radio to update.zip and put it on SD root
2- booted in recovery mode (CWM 4.0.1)
3- chosen install zip from sd card
but i got this message:
Installing update..
Amend scripting ( update.script) is no longer supported.
( some sentences including CWM 3 and ginger bread) don't remember them exactly
Installation aborted.
I rebooted phone and thanks to God it's working OK, communications OK.
What i have done wrong?
help will be appreciated
thanks in advance.
It needs Clockworkmod Recovery 2.x. So, you can get that from within ROM Manager App.
- Open ROM Manager
- Select Install Clockworkmod Recovery
- This will install v2.5.0.7 on your SDCard (It wont touch your v4.x)
- Then select Reboot into Recovery from within ROM Manager.
- This will start Clockworkmod 2.6.0.7, then flash the radio as normal.
Alternatively, get this attachment:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
Flash in in Clockworkmod 4.0.1, it will give you temporary 2.5.0.7, then proceed as normal.
Thanks a lot 3xeno
i have done the first on and it worked
but
when i installed the updat.zip
some lines was showed but it was very quick i couldn't read them
but the process took about 5 seconds or maybe less
is that normal??
how can i know that i have flashed the radio succefuly?
the phone is working OK.
Yes, its normal. When you follow the second procedure, it gives you temporary 2.5.0.7.
I hope you followed only one of the procedures though. (Either go via the ROM Manager App way, or go via the update1.zip way, not both)
When you flash a Radio, it says "The Radio will install on Reboot". Then, you select "Reboot System Now" in Clockworkmod, and it will reboot your phone, and it will state "Writing Radio Image". This process takes some time, after which your phone reboots again and starts normally. When this happens, you can be sure you have reflashed the radio properly.
i followed the first
i have reeboted into CWM 2.5 ( green color)
then i flash the update.zip by install zip from sd card
it shows quick lines
and i don't see this "The Radio will install on Reboot"
the back to recovery menu
i choose reboot system now
the phone reboot as normal without this "Writing Radio Image"
any thing am missing?
Don't flash the update.zip in Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 (Green Text). The update.zip is an alternative to be flashed in Clockworkmod 3.x/4.x (Orange text) which will reboot your system in Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7. (ie - It is to be used only if you didn't use the ROM Manager method. Since you have installed Clockworkmod 2.5 using ROM Manager, you can delete the update.zip, you no longer need it)
Once you get to Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7, Flash the Radio's Zip using the same procedure. (Install Zip from SDCard > Select Radio Zip file). To reiterate, theres no need for update.zip once you are in Clockworkmod 2.5
Thanks a million 3xeno
flashed the radio Successfully
what i was doing wrong that i have renamed the radio zip file to update.zip
method that i have done for anybody hwo wants to do that (thanks to 3xeno):
1- put the radio file as it is on SD root (don't change the name of zip file)
2- go to rom manger and choose flash clockworkmod recovery
3- from rom manger choose reboot into recovery
(will reboot in CWM 2.5) green text
4- choose install zip from sd card
5- press go back (back button won't work) go to the bottom of menu and you will find the ++back++
6- choose reboot system now and wait til it finish.
I don't think changing of filename from radio.zip to update.zip will affect installation of radio (as long as you haven't extracted the zip).
But what happened is (I guess) ---
You are changing the radio.zip to update.zip and kept it at the root of sdcard. Then if you open Rom manager and flash recovery, the update.zip related to radio will be overwritten by cwm2.x update.zip . And vice versa if you have flashed Rom manager cwm2.x first and then copied radio update.zip to root of sdcard.
So basically one of the needed things are missing ( = being overwritten) which interfere with the process. Anyway nice that you made it.

What I did:
Rooted Evo 4G Gingerbread using Revolutionary
Flahsed su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.exe and PC36IMG.EXE
Worked great, got excited flashed:
SOS_v1.9.0.2-swag.exe, navbar_rednblack.exe, remap_camera.exe, and ChopSuey-v.9.2.6-UNIVERSAL-signed.exe
Whats going on:
SOS, navbar, and remap flash fine; all other flash attempts give the error, E: Can’t Find Update Script
At HBoot
SD Checking

So how do I get rid of the errors so I can flash another ROM or whatever? Thanks for helping a noob
If you're already rooted, you need to boot into recovery. Then navigate to where the .zip (ROM) is located. The instructions to flash should be provided on the first page of the dev's post.
Thank you but, I don't undeerstand. I can find the zip files that I put on the SD card, and go into the recovery screen but when I try and flash any ROM/add on/bootanimation/ I get the eror, E: Can’t Find Update Script" so where is the script? Also, any ieas on the no/wrong image issue?
What recovery r u using? R u flashing chopsuey thru hboot or recovery?

I flashed the Kernal throu recovery.
HBoot> scroll to Recovery>hit power key> Brings up android systems recovery screen> scroll to "Flash sip from SDcard> Select the zip file. That is when I get the E: Can not find update script error.
I am not running the PC36IMG ROM, I am running the SOS_v1.9.0.2-swag but in HBOOT, its looking for the PC36IMG image, are't these issues related?
Google "evo amon-ra xda forums".
Download the PC36IMG.zip.
Copy and paste it in the root of your SD card.
Press volume up to install in hboot.
Once complete, boot into recovery and try to flash the ROM zip file.
Be sure to delete the amon-ra zip file or else it'll just ask if you want to flash when hboot loads.

You can flash recovery with this method only if you are S-OFF, either use fastboot or a toolkit
And No I will not give a link to any method, use the search function for that
