OK before you guys get in a fight here i say HALT!!! how about we call it a circle that would make everybody happy and moves this thread along. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] slipshft:
I like the circle idea...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Z_German:
ASUS Transformer Google+ Circle

OK, do to request we go big now. JoTeC and myself invite you and your device to The g+ circle. Sent me your info on a PM. We had prev. a hangout when the TF update came and went to the details.

This is a tutorial to revert to 100% stock as like when you bought your phone! Read the whole entire thing before you start!

1)Download the RUU here:

http://www.multiupload.com/2QWMDPG2M8

2)Copy to the root of your sd card

3)Boot into bootloader by either using quickboot from market or pulling battery and holding power+volume down until you see bootloader.

4)Bootloader will scan for PG86IMG

5)Click power button to select install for the file

6)Bootloader will now install, you are now on the stock sprint ROM

7)Now plug your device in, and navigate to the fastboot setting from the menu and select it(power button)

8)Open CMD with the fastboot files in with the adb files

9)Run the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" without quotes

10)You should now be 100% stock unrooted and s-on!

Included is the fastboot and adb files, when you get to step 7 run the start here, and get into fastboot on your phone either through bootloader or typing 'adb reboot bootloader' while having your phone on charge only mode. then continue on your way to s-on(:

Download fastboot and adb files here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?90scvyi9a94cq

*Remember never do this with the eng hboot, you could brick, only do this on ship hboot!

I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device!

Maybe someone can convert this into a flashable zip that would automatically do the steps for you?

Thanks!

ok so i'm an idiot. i spent all this time waiting and waiting for s-off. now that it's here i went flash crazy over the last 18 hours. about ten minutes ago i had my phone on charge, it slipped out of my hand as i was taking the cable out and it landed on the cable still half in the charging port with the internals of a microusb sitting cockeyed in there and the plastic piece from the phones usb port was jammed into the cable's port. so here's my predicatment.... i need to get back to stock and s-on without adb. any ideas at all? if not i'm going to literally kick it to/on the curb and take it back to best buy tomorrow. i have to make sure that they don't try and keep my phone for a month while they "repair" it.

your problem is very common. simply call in to sprint and they can fix it on their end with the error 16. they shouldn't ask and you don't need to tell them you rooted, it's simply a provisioning issue. your phone is fine.

So you are getting an error once you get to the part fastboot oem setsecureflag 3? Like its not setting the security?

[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Yeah, using the method you noted is having an issue. I tried it as well and couldn't get it to work :confused: People say the same thing in my thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] rtbluver:
hmmm, ill mess with it, maybe im not usig the correct string to set security on the phone, it should though, one second.
[HTC EVO 3D] will survive:
ok... here is what i did after i installed everything where it should be. i go to the directory where that adb and fastboot files are in the sdk. i power down phone and go into the bootloader. i connect the usb cable and scroll down to fastboot and hit the power button to choose fastboot. when it goes into the fastboot menu, i can see that it changes to fastboot usb. so i run the script and get that error. i tried all this after i used the RUU file you supplied to return to stock. maybe this file did something or maybe a command in the script is missing. i know fastboot is working but just doesn't like the script command. either way, i tried to redo the revol s-off tool and i guess since its still in beta mode, when i enter the beta key it generates, it says that my software version is currently not supported at this time. i've been going at it since early this morning. its frustrating but at the same time interesting as it helps me understand using the CMD prompt and ADB.

edit: an idea... i remember when i had my droid incredible to go back to s-on, you had to set s-on first then do the RUU last. just a thought.
[HTC EVO 3D] rtbluver:
Make sure you have the shipping hboot and not the eng. Thats the only thing i can come up with, ill keep trying though.

^^try to do fastboot

then type oem setsecureflag 3

^^doesnt work, i have no idea why its giving errors. try to run fastboot setsecureflag without the 3.
[HTC EVO 3D] moto211:
If you have the sdk installed, you already have the necessary fastboot and adb files installed and don't need the files the OP posted. Fastboot files are included in the sdk either in c:/android-sdk-windows/tools or c:/program files (x86)/android/android-sdk/tools (depending on what version of the sdk you have).

I was kinda thinking that too... Too chicken to try it that way though.

i don't blame u one bit. but it did work for that phone with the locked NAND. either way, we would have to wait till the revo project goes from beta to release since u can't run it again with the beta key.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
I was able to run it twice. When I first reverted back to stock...

I had stock everything except S-ON. It still said S-OFF. So... I tried to flash a recovery and that didint work so I figured it was S-ON even though it indicated S-OFF.

I ran evolutionary again... It got to step 2... Said it lost comms with phone. I said Oh no... I looked at my phone and it had Evolutionary back at the top so I then flashed recovery and back to custom ROM.

Thats just my exp.

[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
Word of advice: Before doing this, make sure that you have a SHIP HBOOT to avoid stalls. I had the ENG HBOOT from the xHausx thread and the flashing stalled after flashing bootloader and another few steps. After a battery pull and booting back to the bootloader (which was already flashed to the SHIP v1.30.000), i restarted the flashing and it worked and completed without problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] rtbluver:
If you have adb setup right and you are in that path or you cd to it or have adb in your system, you plug your phone in and put it in charge only, and it will see it.
[HTC EVO 3D] HackDPlanet:
How do you get back to SHIP HBOOT? I currently have v1.40.000
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Did you ever flash the ENG Hboot? If not, then you do have ship hboot. Either way, to answer your question, you just run an RUU. That will re-flash a SHIP hboot. Did you ever have luck getting your recovery to flash?
[HTC EVO 3D] rtbluver:
Confirmed working, can anyone confirm running the RUU will put you back to ship hboot?

This is what did to solve my problem not being able to update from 1.11.651.2

Download this Stock Sprint EXE updater for EVO 3D 1.13.651.7

http://evo3d.rtrnetwork.com//upload...530_NV_NV_SPCS_1.16_release_198109_signed.exe

Run the RUU.exe file above in windows with administrator rights and follow the on screen directions (exe files ran from a computer seem to do a better job than the zip packages from the bootloader)

if you still have s-off then do this

from fastboot use command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" {dont use quotes}

(s-on procedure is already well documented in this thread)

Now you should be 1.13.651.7 and should be able to update to the latest 2.08.651.2 (GB 2.3.4) via the HTC software updater.

I am lost at this step. How am I supposed to navigate to fastboot setting? From what menu? When I hold the power button, I only have the option to Power Off, Airplane Mode and Restart.

I opened my command box on my cpu, but I have no idea how to open with fastboot files in with the adb files. . .can you break this down just a bit further for me? I have downloaded all of the files in the link that you gave. Outside of the "start here" file, I have no idea of what order I should use the other files in. If I do it in order from bottom to top, when I click the first box, I get a box that blips in and out really fast on my screen.

When? What screen should I be on when I do this? In the CMD box I tried running this command and got the message: 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Am I using all of these files???

[HTC EVO 3D] splat matt:
Reread post 83

To answer your question directly "yes"

By the way you want s-on if you want to be 100% out of the box stock.

FYI S-on means essentially "security is on" therefore the bootloader is locked.
[HTC EVO 3D] splat matt:
I first need to ask did you root your 3vo?

If you did then the instructions should make sense.

If you haven't rooted your 3vo then why are you trying to do this? This procedure is how you get back to being stock.

[HTC EVO 3D] rtbluver:
Okay, open up the folder you downloaded, and double click start here! While your phone is plugged in, and on charge only mode with usb debugging enabled, adb reboot bootloader. it will check for a pg86img image, then it will take you back to the main menu, of bootloader, and navigate to fastboot, then after you are in fastboot, type fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

The one thing I would to point out since you put "for beginners" is that after you download the RUU and put it on your SD Card it has to be renamed to PG86IMG

A noob might not know that.
