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

Yeah, you should be able to re-root after un-rooting.

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?

These both require a computer which is not what was originally asked but good information non the less.

He is probably sitting in the Sprint parking lot wanting to exchange his phone and doesn't want to go back home to unroot.

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

[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.

Look at the screen I've attached. Are you sure your zip it's not the same have you checked it? I've highlighted the rom itself.

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.

Done, what's next...

go into terminal app, type the following:
"su"
It will ask you for root access. type Grant.
"busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/backup.bin bs=1M count=70"
It will create a backup.bin in the root of /sdcard. ipload that file here. if the file type isnt supported, put it in a .zip then upload it using your pc. if you dont have a pc, just rename the end part of the file (.bin) to (.zip) and upload it here.

could you link me a full tutorial for the debrick?

OK download Odin v3.07 search it in Google. then, open Odin, and extract all the files to the desktop.
Before continuing, make sure to backup all of your files because it will be deleted. The file you downloaded before, open it with winrar, then extract the files inside, to the desktop. Open Odin. Get your phone and turn it off. Once its off, hold vol down + home button + power button until you get the prompt to go to download mode. click vol up and it should say "Downloading...". Connect the phone to the computer, and Odin should recognise it. go to the AP slot, click it, and navigate to the file you extracted. Wait for Odin to recognise the file. After, click start, and don't disconnect it until it says "PASS" on the screen, or the phone boots up completely in the set-up. Its recommended that you eject the SD card in your phone (if you have one). Also, make sure only F reset time, and auto reboot are checked.

Just do what i told you to do earlier. read the other comments. the commands are over there

Hey man! Sorry I haven't been able to respond recently. Sent you a pm, but basically I've been in and out of town a lot the last few days!
Got a couple items that makes the process of creating a debrick.img very easy! Started out with a simple script and it evolved from there!
This one will create a 128mb debrick.img on your internal sdcard. (/sdcard/debrick.img)
Download this and flash in TWRP: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23196940996969297
That's It! Now just zip and upload!
(ignore the T999 in the filename
It will work on the I747 too)
This next one is slightly more difficult to use, but still easy if you just follow the instructions included in the zip file.
It includes options to create 128mb, 256mb and 512mb images. You should only need the 128mb one but we were using this for testing and troubleshooting when new firmwares were released.
Do NOT flash in recovery. Unzip and follow the included instructions. It will create the debrick.img and then will zip it for you using 7zip.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23196940996969297
The first is the easiest and probably all you need. Just included the second in case anyone wants to try it or the first method doesn't produce a working image. (Doesn't fix a brick)
Hope it helps!

Update to Nougat

The update.zip worked for me, but I didn't use the SD card method, so I can't verify this works right now. Give this method a shot and tell me if it works.
IF YOU ARE ON PH1, rename this S7Nupdate.zip to update.zip and follow the quoted instructions.
IF YOU ARE ON PI3, rename this PI3_PK4update.zip to update.zip and follow the quoted instructions.
UPDATE: S7update2.zip Rename this to update.zip and follow the same procedure AFTER YOU HAVE UPDATED TO THE FIRST BETA(PK4).
zimgir124 said:
A method has been found to install the beta without being accepted!
Thanks @jrkruse for finding this method!
1. reboot to download mode (power + volume up +home) and make sure phone says Official under system and binary.
2. If it does not then you must odin the PH1 firmware, use the pit file and the full csc not the home csc file
3. go through setup
4. enable developer options
5. turn OEM unlock off
6. enable USB debugging
7. place Update.zip on Ext sd card in folder named fota
8. power off phone
9. reboot to download mode make sure both system and binary are official.
10. reboot to recovery (Power + volume down + home)
11. choose apply Update.zip from SD card
12. find Update.zip in the fota folder you created on your Ext sdcard
13. click yes to apply
After this it should update to the Android 7.0 beta and hopefully will be able to download future beta OTAs.
You will not lose anything as this is an OTA
You do not want to be rooted. You must be stock for this to work!
There is no gear VR available on the beta.
Troubleshooting:
"E: footer is wrong" followed by "E: signature verification failed" : Decrypt SD Card and try again.

Worked

Will it work with 930u firmware on a verizon phone?

It worked for me... Pm me your PayPal address for the pledge I made

No sir. I didn't do anything special other than being the first to upload a file. I haven't done anything to deserve any payment. My time is free on this.

also can verify it works.. Thank you so much!

Perhaps too many people are downloading all at once. Maybe try again in a few minutes. I just tried and was able to get through.

Excellent, I'll keep trying. So all i have to do is rename it update.zip and make a folder in my sdcard called fota and update through recovery? Internal sdcard or external?

Awesome. Thanks for all your help guys!

1. reboot to download mode (power + volume up +home) and make sure phone says Official under system and binary.
where do I find the official? Doesn't say anything under download mode or settings. Downloading zip now. Thanks so much.
found it under settings/about phone/status on very bottom.

I'm at 91% complete by using update over ADB, since I didn't have an SD card available. Will report back.
Update: Working great!
I downloaded the update, changed the name to update.zip, downloaded minimal ADb and fastboot, put the phone in download mode, selected 'update over adb', and then used adb sideload update.zip....boom...success!
I'll tell you what...I have a new car with Android Auto, which I use to listen to Spotify, mostly. The audio quality is noticably and significantly better on the nougat update with performance mode enabled. It made my day!
Thanks for taking the time to grab the file, OP!

Did you extract the files first from the factory image and place them in your SDK/platform-tools folder?

Looks like you are using sdk/platform-tools. Are you also using a Mac laptop?

No , windows 10 .
I know the device is being detected in fastboot mood by the computer. It might be something to do with how I am currently rooted. Most "how to " instructions only talk about partitions _a and _b.

Put a space between bootloader and C:\

there's no such fastboot command "flash_other", you don't have to flash bootloader to both partition.

use googles release of sdk not the entire thing
fastboot flash-all
and bam

You can also go straight to your platform-tools folder and double click the flash-all.bat file to start the installation :good:

Do you have all the files you extracted from the factory image inside the platform-tools folder?? Especially the large secondary zip that has all the images?

If still no luck, download this from Google: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
Download another copy of June update in case first was corrupt.
Place all Tools files plus unzipped June update files into one folder. Make sure your usb cable is an oem Pixel cable.
Use Windows command prompt instead of Powershell. Type fastboot devices with phone connected in fastboot mode.
If you get a serial number, double click on flash-all.bat. It oughta run fine.

Okay so i have doing this fine but i can't seem to update as well
I use window latest platform tools all files in one directory where i open the cmd

It sure looks right, and I know you've done this before. What happens when you shut the phone off and then enter bootloader manually. I know it shouldn't matter, but what the heck. That's exactly what I do every month, I never boot into fastboot from the OS and adb ?
