it worked for me, since the ruu had a usb error you just have to keep the phone plugged in and re-start the ruu then it will finish also i had to run the simpleroot program first before it would let me run the stock shipped ruu which you can find the download links in the wiki:

P.S. dont flash the stock froyo ruu or you will lose root possibly forever so just follow the instructions to un-root your phone then take it to the store then re-root and do a nand restore and your golden!

I am so pissed , friday I went to pick up my evo and the f#@king rep took my phone to transfer my contacts and updated me to 2.2.

I hope it isn't unrealistic to expect the xda gurus to come up with fix.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cursed Pirate:
Hey if your using 2.2 OTA and its stock, try my process a few pages back and see if it lets you downgrade to 1.17 and Hboot 76. if it does then I was not the only one who achieved this. I was able to update to 2.2 OTA and then after attempting a few sites suggestions I said wait a second my process basically returns the fone to OTB "out of the box" status. I went thru the process which was exactly the same and whatcha know it worked.. I am now running 2.2 Rooted Froyo and I have to say I dont like the radio or winmax updates cause they sux. I will be going back to 2.1 rom 1.47 firm Hboot 76. it seemed to be the best and most stable to me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cursed Pirate:
Do me a favor, and sorry for getting back to you so late. Do my process it has been achieved by me to go from 2.2 OTA stock froyo to 2.1 firm 1.17 rom Hboot 76. <-- that is the engineering Hboot. and from that point update to 1.47 then do the simple root and then RA recovery steps and you will be rooted 1.47 if you want to be rooted still. The 2.2 rooted Froyo seems to have some issues with radio "fone reception" and winmax "4G " I get alot of static when both parties talk at same time. so I am going back to 1.47 Amon Ra recovery SU rooted. had no issues then.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegas3416:
I don't get all this mess...lol...I've tried the HTC sync method to get back to unroot and have tried all these ruu files but the one that never fails is a zip file that I put in a folder and when I want to go back to stock "out of the box" stock..I plug my phone in take the file out of the folder and just set it in the main of the sdcard(basically in no folders) then run my boot loader(or power + volume down) and leave it alone..it automatically reads my zip file and I let it do its thing. It will ask you twice(read that correctly) twice to push the volume up button. Once to do the update and the final one to reboot the phone to set everything back and I'm done. Takes roughly 5minutes and I don't do anything but sit back. I used the unrevoke forever method to root my phone by the way but based on what I have seen this zip file works for any method someone used. If you want I will have to email or use some kind of file sharing program because it wont allow it here for size reasons.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
another method to unroot is to flash a stock unrooted (just not messed with) pc36img.zip. the problem with this is , the hboot will tell that it is older, and will give you an error. that means you need to flash toast's mtd-eng.img to the misc partition first using the flash_image script. hope this helps. pm me for the files.

I have been having a problem with trying to reflash my phone to stock with the new ruu that has version 3.7. in other threads it says that flashing the ruu would make it go back to stock and relock it, which is exactly what i want to do. heres the problem, the stock ruu for 3.7 does not work, it will not find the phone at all when it is plugged in, when i use the ruu for version 3.29 it finds the phone but after it boots into bootloader, my phone stays on a black htc screen and the ruu will not find the bootloader, which causes it to time out....any suggestions?

I have tried searching the forum but I cannot find a straight answer on upgrading SPLs. I currently have a rooted G1 running CM5.0.8 and I have the engineering spl HBoot - 1.33.2005. My question is that I have seen versions 1.33.2010, and I am wondering what the differences are between and if it would be better to upgrade my device, i.e are there any improvements in the newer spl versions? Thank you to anyone that can provide me an answer!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
No. There is nothing of benefit in 1.33.2010 for you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
There is no good reason to change the spl. magic users use 1.33.2009 and 1.33.2010, and nearly no dream users use them.

On the dream it will shrink data/system partitions (increasing cache) thus likely removing the functionality that made you installed danger for in the first place.

I have not seen a change in functionality if there is it's in an undocumented extended function I have not dirived a use for yet.

Both 1.33.2009 and 1.33.2010 also only support 2.x and 3.x radios like the danger spl. So its no safer to install on a dream than danger spl.

I've been a long time iPhone user, finally ready to jump ship over to Android/EVO 4G. I'm also a cheapskate and looking for the best deal I can get; I will be switching from AT&T to a new 2 Yr. Sprint account.

Best price? In case you hadn't heard, there is a shortage of these things. Wirefly is quoting 3 week delivery times. If you are in no rush, I guess it is a good deal.

Hi all,

Im facing a weird decision... well not weird as almost 50-50 split and it makes me feel queasy :P.

Should i opt for the Galaxy S (Android) or the HTC HD 2?

The Galaxy S has 1 GHz processor 512 Ram Full HD video recording and a SEXY screen... damn it looked nice in the demo :D. However (and this does drive me crazy) there is no LED flash. I dont know WHY there isnt but there isnt. God, I hate it when manufacturers do that. They leave out one fiddly feature for no reason whatsoever.

Anyhoo the HTC HD 2 HAS a flash it has WinMo upgradeable to WinMo 7. Snapdragon (I love that name) processor but the Galaxy S out performs it easily in terms of graphics. Should I take the leap into Android (I really really want to see how well it works especially since its got such an amazing developer community) or stick with WinMo and the HTC HD2? I know i havent mentioned many pros of the HD2 but thats because it shares most of them with the Galaxy. To be honest the only pro is that its an interface im familiar with. However, would all of you people who have taken the step from winMo to android tell me whether it was worth it or not?

Thanks

In terms of modern UI, stability and handling Android is way more mature then anything WM can offer. Unless you have some mission critical software which only runs on WM there is no sane reason to keep using it. Besides HD2 wont have any official ports for WP7. Android offers a stable, consistent user interface with plenty of customization options out of the box and tons of free available software. Hardly anybody bothers to produce new software for WM, meanwhile the Android eco system is brimming with life. I switched from a X1 which I tried with various custom roms to a Desire and it's just no comparison. If you're not hardcore attached to WM, I'm certain Android is the way better choice.

Google will only have your data, if you're using their mail/messenger/etc. services. You're free to use different ones.

The google bot is very advanced and it can pick out useful information like phone numbers etc. How he can make a claim that showing this information is traffic hijacking done intentionally is ridiculous. I mean doesnt it occur to the author that Google is a SEARCH engine.. part of SEARCHING means getting to the information you want. THe best search engine wouldthen presumably be the one that brings you that information as easily and as quickly as possible :S.

However, you said its just your opinion so thanks for the information but as it stands I dont find it a real threat to my decision on HTC HD2 and the Samsung Galaxy S. :)
