[Q] Cant Unroot

Well I need to Unroot my Evo.
However I have tried the PC36IMG image copying and that didnt work. It would keep telling me that the main version is older and tell me to reboot. When i tried to use the RUU exe it would tell me that it
HTC Android Phone Rom Update Utility 1.0.2.10
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct Update Utility and try again.
I dont understand since im using the HTC Evo 4g one. I also already had the Htc sync connect.
Any ideas?

[Q] Can't install any RUUs

I've just got a Desire on Orange, which I'm trying to debrand. I've made a goldcard, but when I try to install a stock RUU (with the phone connected in HTC sync mode etc.), the installer always quits just after the inital 'setup' progress bar.
I've tried 3 or 4 different RUUs, and they all quit at the same point. Has anyone else had this problem?
btw, I'm on winxp sp3 and have admin rights

I would advice you not to press sync mode on phone, just connect usb and then open and run RUU. Also are you using wwe version?
And details of which firmware you are on would be helpfull. And does any message pop up when it quits?

Thanks for replying
I've tried to install the generic Froyo HTC 2.09 WWE RUU from [FAQ] HBOOT 0.83 / 0.92 / SLCD - rooting and recovery (can't post links yet, sorry)
and a couple of others, including Froyo HTC WWE 2.10 and HTC WWE 1.21/1.15
Every installer has the same problem. Plug in phone, run installer, the progress bar fills up and then it quits. No error message.
I tried updating drivers, as in this thread [Guide] Drivers & RRU Errors Solved in case it was anything like that, but it hasn't made a difference.
Phone details:
Firmware ver. 2.1-update1
Software num. 1.22.61.1
HBOOT 0.83, SLCD screen
Remember you need a gold card in the phone to install a non-Orange RUU
Yep, done that. I haven't taken it out of the phone since I made it. Does the version of HTC sync I'm using make a difference?
I downloaded the version offered on the HTC website, instead of the one that came on the memory card. I've just installed the memory card one now, i'll try everything again using that, including remaking the goldcard.
Having played around with it the other HTC sync installation, it's still not working...

Firstly i could do it straight from bootloader menu, (i.e. load up into bootload, plug in usb then work)
And for htc sync i just unistalled and reinstalled and worked.

What's your hboot version?

0.93.0001
rev.alpharev.nl
It just says waiting for device
You got the drivers installed?
which ones?
The HTC drivers. Download and install HTC sync. That will install the drivers. Then disable it so it does not interrupt the s-off process. Follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032467
But use rev.alpharev.nl website instead of revolutionary.io.
It seems I only get halfway and it sometimes don't register the phone.. in device manager i get a code:10 on the phone.
I'v tried many things to fix this but nothing seems too work
Either way I thank you for your help so far as it seem everything is done right and should work
my computer just doesn't want to co-op.
Edit: the app starts and everything seems well, but then it boots to fastboot and get stuck waiting for fastboot
FYI: did this on a computer with windows 10 and then tried it on one with 7 or XP I can't remember witch one because i have both on the same computer. but it worked, so the problem seems to be that windows 10 can't install or handle the old drivers properly.
