Develop Bugs

[Q] Need some help

Hello,
I am extremely new to this process and recently just rooted my EVO and would like to know the proper procedures to return my phone to stock if there is an issue eventually with my phone. I rooted using UnrEVOked3 and have the custom recovery installed when it was rooted. I did run a back up recovery right after I rooted.
I tried to figure it out on my own by flashing the RUU that was on theunlockr's site and it worked but was hesitant to run the OTA software update with "S-OFF" still activated. So I rerooted my phone and tried their "S-ON utility but now can’t run the RUU due to a bootloader error. I tried searching but there is so many threads about it that it gets confusing so I figured I would ask directly what my steps should be.
A couple questions:
Should my next step be rerooting the phone and then running the RUU?
Will running a RUU and then running an OTA update be ok if “S-OFF” is still activated?
Will running an OTA update turn “S-OFF” back to “S-ON”?
After I return complete stock can I reroot in the future if I want?
My Bootloader at this time looks like this:
SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-2.10.0001
MICROP-04if
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO-2.05.00.06.10

Sorry for being so new about this but any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
(EDIT: I just read the first post in this thread topic and I'm going to try that since it seems like I'm halfway there. Sorry for killing a kitten lol)

Yes you can! Many people unroot when they drop by sprint for whatever reasons, then they root all over again. Me, I'm a rebel, I give the reps my phone with cm7 on it lol.

[Q] I have to unroot my EVO, scared about how to do it.. Help please

I went to the development section and looked at the guide for how to unroot the evo, and I downloaded the S-ON tool and went to download the pc36img and the file isnt there anymore.
I am scared to do anything in the fear of bricking this phone. I am not even sure on how to unroot it all and stuff.
I am not trolling, and I have actually looked. I am sorry I am just new to the root world.. I have to repair my phone tomorrow and I have to unroot it...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What method did you use to root?
What Hboot version do you have?

Ok a lil more information is needed. Also why are you unrooting....
If you are returning your phone just take an OTA update and it will unroot for you, Other methods and links when you post some info on bootloader and previous root method used.. FYI - there are threads in development for both unrooting methods
Edit: Here you go my friend all I put in was unroot htc evo in google and dont be scared its not difficult at all

Alright, flash the s-on.zip via your custom recovery. [ra or clockwork]
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever-son.zip
Download this file and rename it PC36IMG [keep it a zip file].
PC36IMG.zip [not PC36IMG.zip.zip]
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MUSAURP7
Put in on the root of your SDCARD.
Load into your bootloader and accept the update.
Done.

you can also find an RUU and it will do the same thing but go to the unrevoked site and they have info on how to unroot
Edit:
You have an easy phone to root and unroot, if you relax follow directions to the letter you will see its all pretty simple.
Try this link http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever

okay thanked for all your posts guys! Thank you very much. Is there any chance to brick my phone if I do somehow mess this up or anything?

Or like I said you can check your phone for updates. If it takes it will unroot your phone for you as well.

You're not going to brick your phone when doing this as long as you allow the process to complete and power is maintained throughout the process..

with my baseband being RADIO-2.15.00.0808 will i need to downgrade radio or anything before doing all this?

did you check to see if an OTA is available for you. Could save you some time and worries. Also I do not believe you have to worry about your radio although I have seen some people have an issue. I would give it a try first...

I believe you mean 04.08 and that radio should be fine.
Try doing an OTA like playya has said if you don't feel comfortable with our methods.

it says there is no update for my phone under HTC updates...
so do you think its okay to go ahead and try the unrooting process and flash the PC36IMG.zip through hboot after running unrevoked tool and flashing that through recovery EVEN WITH my RADIO-2.15.00.0808?

no matty i just booted into hboot to check again and its 2.15.00.0808

You shouldn't have an issue.
If you really want you can downgrade the radio first.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/2pjq2dhjv6ntxnh/EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19.zip
Flash it in your recovery.

Ah, I see that comes with the newest OTA.
I would downgrade just to make sure.

so go ahead and downgrade radio?

or should i be okay?

Just run this RUU
http://forum.smartphonejunkie.com/e...io-2-15-00-0808-nv-2-15-release-209995-a.html
It's the newest OTA.
Shouldn't have an issue with the radio.

[Q] Getting back to s-off

I first rooted my phone using revolutionary-0.4pre4.zip file to get the s-off and then flashing SuperUser su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip. This worked just fine. I've been ok with the stock rom so I haven't changed it. I wanted the new update when it came out and some threads said I needed to UNroot in order to update. Therefore I ran PC36IMGson.zip which hasn't help me either, but now my phone is back to s-on but seems to still be rooted (since Titanium Backup, Rom Manager, and SuperUser are still working fine).
Now, I'm done with it all and would like to flash some other rom But I can't get back to s-off! revolutionary thinks it's still set to s-off each time I run it, but the bootloader screen still says s-on. Unrevoked doesn't work either since my device is unsupported.
Any ideas???
I'm pretty new to all of this and have been trying to figure this on my own with XDA and youtube videos. So clear, step-by-step instructions is best, THANKS!!
My device:
Sprint Evo 4g
supersonic evt2-3 ship S-ON
hboot-6.17.0001
Radio-2.15.00.0808
Version 2.3.3
kernel 2.6.35.10-g13578ee

You dont need to unroot and grab the OTA update. Just flash the lastest stock rooted ROM. It comes packaged with the latest updates pushed by Sprint.
Edit: This thread is exactly the reason why mods have created stickies. Try putting forth some effort in looking for an answer yourself before creating a thread. You can do this by using the search feature or checking the thread that was an inch below the button you pushed to create this one.

Thank you Concordium, Please use the stickies to learn more about xda before you start asking questions. Also the search feature works wonders, much faster than trying to look through all 5,000+ pages in our dev section alone. Please please please use the tools already given to you.

[Q] Revolutionary S-ON

Hello XDA members!
This is officially my first thread and folks I am in need of some help! Let me start off by letting everyone know, I have honestly done my best with searching for an answer on the forum and Google. Another thing is, I truly apologize for any inconvenience, if I make this thread in the wrong section of the forum or if this has been asked and solved already.
My whole goal is to take back my EVO 4G to my local Sprint store to either fix my 4G Antenna or get a refurbished Evo. If I luck up, I might get a substitution with a Evo 3D. That it is if there out of stock. I do have Asurion insurance and it has not exceeded the 90 day warranty the Evo 4G comes with from HTC.
Now on to the problem with the Evo 4G. I'm struggling to UNROOT and S-ON my Evo 4G from Revolutionary root. In my case, I'm no expert around this whole ordeal. I'm very familiar with rooting and friendly with guides. I've followed every guide that I came across, but still cannot S-ON my Evo 4G!
For those that would like to know when I boot into HBOOT I get the following:
SUPERSONIC EVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.16.0001
MICROP=041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO-2.15.00.0808

*NOTE THAT "REVOLUTIONARY" NO LONGER SHOWS ON MY HBOOT SCREEN, ONCE I FLASHED AN S-ON IMAGE.
*NOTE THE DATE AND TIME ON MY HBOOT IS CLEARLY OUT OF DATE. IT SEEMS TO BE STUCK ON THAT TIME. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY, NOR DO I KNOW IF THIS COULD BE A FACTOR.
Folks I have tried just about everything that I can think of. I've downgraded my radio to see if it changed anything. (Nothing). I tried flashing different stock images to see if it changed anything. (Nothing). I tried running RUU's to see if that changed anything. (Nothing). I really don't know what's left for this bad boy. Is there any different way of changing the security flag on? adb, fastboot, terminal?
Any answers and help is greatly appreciated! Thanks and hope to get some feedback soon!
-Bruce

http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ighlight=ow+to+unroot+revolutionary???&page=2 go there and read captain throwbacks post, its post #15. i used that before and it did the trick.

You need to downgrade your radio again to the 2.15.00.11.19 or earlier radio then flash the unrevoked forever s-on tool to get S-on.

The unrEVOked S-ON zip will only work on the unsigned 6.17 HBOOT, however. So, the steps you'll need to take are:
1) Flash custom recovery via PC36IMG (Amon_Ra v2.3 recommended)
2) Downgrade radio to 2.15.00.11.19 or older
3) Flash modded 6.17 HBOOT
4) Flash unrEVOked S-ON zip through recovery.
You should be S-ON at that point, and then finally you flash a stock ROM (4.54 recommended) to restore your device completely to stock.

Hey folks!
I apologize for the long reply back guys. I'm currently away on vacation and haven't had time to check out the forum.
I will definitely try all of the advice posted! Once again, thank you very much! I really do appreciate it. I will get back to the thread and let you know how everything goes as soon as I can! I'm sorry for any inconvience.

Isn't this in the stickies? If not, then it should be.

I was rooted with unrevoked after reverting back from the newest OTA using a guide from the XDA forums. everything was working wonderfully but my dumbass had to try and downgrade to an ancient ENG Hboot. using thefredelement's guide to get back to ENG .76. NOT NOTICING i shouldn't try it with HW version 003/004. unfortunately my phone is HW 003. idk what i need to do to get this fixed or if i bricked my phone. I've got a warranty still so i can always just report it lost pay the 50 and restore from my backup sd card.
anyways, my computer is able to see my phone with fastboot but not adb. i get errors when trying to flash new recoveries or anything but radios (such as fail PU, image update error, data length too large, etc) Trying to do anything with adb shell just says "device not found" (yes, i have the correct drivers installed) I CANNOT get into recovery (i had CWM 5.0.2.2) it just reboots back to hboot or the screen with the three droids skateboarding when i try. sorry ahead of time if this is posted in the wrong section/i just killed some brain cells with my stupidity and lack of experience. thanks in advance for any help and advice i can get! (sorry for the double post, idk how to delete postings)

Remain calm. Let's see if we can get you fully functional.
First, let's upgrade that HBOOT. That by itself might fix you up, if it'll flash through the bootloader. Try the PC36IMG.zip attached to this post. It's for HBOOT 2.15.
If it flashes successfully, it should reboot the bootloader for you. If it doesn't, choose the fastboot option that does, and when it comes back up, try getting into recovery. If you can get into recovery, the next thing you should do is retire CWM and flash RA-supersonic.

thx capt. I actually just filed a clain through asurion, and for my $100 deductible i've getting a brand new evo3d xD so jumping the gun for the replacement actually worked out for me this time!

A shame to send back a perfectly fine OG . But I'm glad it worked out for you. Personally I like the challenge of trying to rescue a soft-bricked device. But I guess we'll never know if it was possible, now . . .

i would have loved to have found out myself. but being on probation and in the process of finding a job I just didnt have the time to mess with it i've still got it so once i get some time i'm going to attempt to unbrick it still. although its useless now that it's been deactivated lol
