Is there anyway to enable a cascade home screen menu when you're already home and you press home again (like in HTC's Sense UI) on the stock launcher (or an alternate launcher that has a stock UI) on a rooted n1?

I'd really prefer not to run a third party launcher if at all possible.

I tried searching but only found results for fixing broken screens. :-\

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunden:
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by cascade homescreen menu but I doubt what you want is possible in the stock launcher. Regardless I suggest you install something like Launcher Pro for added features but above all else, for the massive improvement in speed and smoothness. It was really a night and day difference on my phone and you can make Launcher Pro look exactly like stock. It was like buying a new phone.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m20120:
Yes. You can find the stock unrooted ROM (it should be around here somewhere) and flash that. You will then be unrooted but still have S-OFF (NAND Unlocked). You can not get that last bit (S-ON) back for now.

Thank you for this post!

I was able to hex edit the 2.16 HBOOT to 6.17, which allowed it to overwrite the Revolutionary HBOOT, and immediately set me to S-ON. Then, I flashed the stock GB 4.24 PC36IMG.zip, which successfully overwrote the hex-edited 2.16 HBOOT with the one from the PC36IMG, and my phone is back to stock! AWESOME :D.

Restore stock HBOOT, S-ON after rooting with Revolutionary (Gingerbread, HBOOT 6.16)

UPDATED ON 7-MAR-2012

I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU (SOMEHOW) BRICK YOUR DEVICE. FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Files Needed:

6.17 HBOOT - Hex-edited version of 2.16 HBOOT modified to overwrite Revolutionary version

[*]Official Stock ROM (RUU or PC36IMG.zip signed by HTC) - see bottom of post for list of several different stock ROM versions

IMPORTANT NOTES:

The file attached to this post can either be extracted, and the HBOOT.img flashed via Android Flasher, or it can be saved to the root of the /sdcard and flashed via Bootloader (file must be renamed to PC36IMG.zip to flash successfully).[*]If you are using File Explorer and do not see any file extensions, but Windows tells you that the file is a "ZIP file," do NOT add a .zip to the file name! That will result in this happening.

Steps to Un-Root Revolutionary (should work for all S-OFF EVO hardware versions):

Download HBOOT 6.17 and flash using Android Flasher or in Bootloader. Once flashing is complete, Reboot Bootloader and note NAND status. NOTE: At this point, your HBOOT version should be 6.17. If it isn't, then the modified HBOOT file did not flash successfully, and you will need to flash it again.

[*]If you're now "S-ON", move down to "After you're S-ON" section. If not (i.e. you are still "S-OFF"), continue on to next step.

[*]Download the Radio 2.15.00.11.19 from Calkulin's thread and install via recovery (if you'd prefer to install via Bootloader, use this version) - thanks to Calkulin

[*]Download unrevoked S-ON zip - thanks to unrevoked

[*]Boot into recovery and flash unrevoked S-ON zip.

[*]Boot into Bootloader and note NAND status - you should now be S-ON! Proceed to "After you're S-ON section".

After you're S-ON:

Flash an unrooted stock ROM to return your device to factory conditions. Here is a link to Football's thread, with several different RUU versions. Below are direct links to the latest official Froyo & Gingerbread PC36IMG.zip files that can be rooted with unrevoked and Revolutionary, respectively. Also included is the latest Gingerbread OTA release that is rootable via the HTCDev.com website.

PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed | Mirror - ONLY rootable with unrevoked

PC36IMG_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.54.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed | Mirror - ONLY rootable with Revolutionary

PC36IMG_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.67.651.3_Radio_2.15.00.12.19_NV_2.33_release_234563_signed | Mirror - ONLY rootable with HTCDev.com

After flashing one of the above stock ROMs, you should be restored to stock conditions, including HBOOT, Radio, & NAND-locked status, and ready to return your device for servicing! :)

Thanks to {ParanoiA} for posting the link to the thread where the hex-editing was mentioned, and thanks to thefredelement (from that thread) for posting a working method!

Any questions, please post here.

SWEET UNROOT Revolutionary!

Okay since im new to this stuff and for the noobies like me out there

1. DL his zip file!

2. Rename the Zip file to PC36IMG

3. Connect your phone to your cpu and transfer your PC36IMG zip to your sd card

4. Reboot your phone. (remove battery) then hold Power + Down Volume

5. Phone will boot then just wait till your phone ask if you want to update file! Hit Up to say yes

6. Then THATS IT! YOU CAN REBOOT AND CHECK TO MAKE SURE S-ON IS ON!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Glad to see it's working for everybody. One note though: after flashing the HBOOT, if you don't perform the last step of flashing the stock ROM, your HBOOT version will display incorrectly, even though you're S-ON. So if you want your device to be completely stock, I'd be sure to do that, too :).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butwhydoitalk2u:
I needed to take my phone into repair for a stuck power button and this is how i did it...the risk is yours

first you need to go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485 and download the radio EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19, pri EVO_PRI_1.90_003, and NV EVO_NV_1.90_003.

after you all those files you also need to obtain the newest p36img with the new update in it 2.3.3.

http://fs860dm.fileserve.com/file/3rVYVfd/G45tnIZ3_wXrDd40z0RHd7JTX2JkSMq8TNyYKE3puvboC2EbWXi0wcqPZHIOXuaMnS9ZHi0kRYKyLPmTIG1iAOpQWsti2mx44J5kBPHUK9f3wgQ8HXGhfeyeK08ztSE_/621dcc/PC36IMG_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.24.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_NV_2.15_release_199233_signed.zip

lastly you need to get the S-on tool by unrevoked. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever

now comes the fun part unrooting.

you need to flash the radio, pri, nv through recovery, i prefer Amon-ra but i believe it should work in CM. After each is flashed your radio, pri, and nv should be changed and show the older model.

now all that needs to be done is follow the steps to get the S-on to work. Flash S-on in recovery, reboot into bootloader to see if it took. If it didn't take and you were given no errors when flashing it, try it again until it takes.

Once you are S-on you can now move the pc36img to the root of the SD and flash it through your boot loader. And you should now be totally stock and unrooted. FYI, i was able to re-root when my phone was fixed! However, you experience may vary.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
unrevoked s-on doesn't work with Revolutionary root (sounds like you were rooted via unrevoked, i.e. your device didn't come shipped with the newest HBOOT & Gingerbread).

Besides that, it's a LOT easier to just flash the HBOOT I posted and then flash to stock, and you're done! :) (but of course my method only applies to Revolutionary rooted devices).

Thanks for posting this. I have been holding off till someone came up with an unroot or after I had mine fixed. All it does is crash and the port for the usb cable is really loose.

*****Very important to complete last step because if you don't you will have S-on but your HBOOT will be 6.1... For my last step I didn't flash using HBOOT I just downloaded RUU most current file because my phone came with 4.24.651.1 I just ran RUU booted back to white screen and HBOOT now shows HBOOT 2.16

Thank-You SO MUCH! I followed your instructions and got back to stock including hboot 2.16 :D

First I flashed a stock unrooted rom.

then I flashed the hboot.zip

then reflashed the stock rom again and it did indeed overwrite the hboot.zip file

Again, Thank-You very much!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airportcabbie:
How I did it.

For all the timid newbies out there, this method WORKS! My Evo's USB port broke last night, this is how I got unrooted.

1. I downloaded a stock non-rooted rom and renamed it "PC36IMG.zip" and put it in the root of the sdcard.

2. I rebooted the phone and ran the update.

3. Then I removed the rom file from the sdcard.

4. I downloaded the hboot.zip file that was created and posted by the excellent "Captain_Throwback" (THANK_YOU).

5. I renamed the hboot.zip file to "PC36IMG.zip" and put it in the root of the sdcard.

6. I rebooted the phone and ran the update.

7. Then I removed the hboot file (PC36IMG.zip) and replaced it with the non-rooted rom again, still named PC36IMG.zip.

8. I rebooted the phone and ran the update.

9. ALL DONE!

I now have an EVO 4g that is completely stock including an hboot of 2.16.

It's now ready to go back to Sprint.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkfluid:
This method still works, I used the same technique as airportcabbie. One thing, use the factory image listed in this thread. I tried another and it wouldn't take. If you have some problems, I would try downloading a couple more factory images and try flashing them. Once you are done, I advise hopping on wifi and updating to the latest over the air.

Thanks for the instructions. I followed them, updated to an unrooted stock, flashed the hboot, then when I went to run the unrooted again, it wouldn't take.

Just to be clear, after unrooting and getting back to S_ON via the methods described here, you can still re-root again via revolutionary right?

Not Working

I have followed Captain Throwback's instructions but I can't get past the first step. Everytime I try to load the first renamed RUU the operation aborts itself. It has been renamed PC36IMG.zip and placed on my sd card. When I try to update it from the recovery menu it aborts. When I tried using ROM Manager it starts to flash the file but then aborts.

The message I get is E: Can't open /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip (bad) Installation aborted.

Any ideas? My phone is seriously messed up and I need to get it to Sprint as soon as I can, but I don't want to take it in rooted.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
I'm not sure why you're using ROM Manager. This should be done in bootloader/HBOOT. That means, if your current ROM has 4-in-1 reboot menu, choose "Restart", and then "Bootloader". If it doesn't, make sure Fast Boot is disabled in Settings (either under "Power" or "Applications"), and shut down your device. Once it's completely powered off, hold the volume down button while pressing the power button, until you're in the Bootloader. You should then be able to proceed.

You can't rename an RUU to PC36IMG and expect it to flash through Bootloader or Recovery. An RUU is an .exe (executable) file. Download a stock ROM that is already in the PC36IMG format.

;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodvillegas:
So I was able to run the RUU to get my EVO back to stock. I then copied the .zip file over after I renamed it PC36IMG and rebooted holding down Power and Volume Down. When I get to that point it sees the file and asks me to update. I do this and upon rebooting the phone I still see S-Off. I tried then running the RUU to make sure I followed it completely and upon reboot it still says S-Off.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Started a thread on this, hope it helps you out... THREAD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
This sometimes happens. In that case, what you need to do is re-flash your custom recovery (I highly recommend RA 2.3), and after flashing the modded 6.17 HBOOT, flash the unrEVOked S-ON zip file (note that you will probably need to downgrade your radio first to 2.15.00.11.19 or older). That should get you S-ON, and then you can re-flash the stock, unrooted ROM to get you back to stock state.

I have a problem. Every time I try to re-run the RUU after getting S-On again, it fails, and I am stuck on the 6.17. Ideas?

Update1:

I think I figured out the problem, but not the solution.

Basically, I want to get rid of revolutionary and switch to unrevoked.

I flashed to an old ROM. Then flashed your modded HBOOT, but now can't re-run the RUU because I think it sees your modded HBOOT as telling it that it is an older version because your modded HBOOT is based on a 4.24+ ROM correct?

Is there any way I can do this.

Update2:

I decided to just try running Unrevoked even with the HBOOT being 6.17 and it failed. 4 times. Then on the 5th try it worked. I hate computers. So stupid. Anyhow, everything seems to be perfect and I'm now switched to Unrevoked.
