If you are running just a stock Rom them you should be able to run the ota. Just keep in mind you will loose root access in the process. You,can also wait for a rooted version of the ota. Now the update may take a few mins, are you sure the phone was not updating.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
I had UnrEVOked 3 and the OTA wouldn't install for me either. I followed the tutorial here:

http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-roms-hacks/19278-how-unroot-return-stock.html

This allowed me to go back to the stock version. Once I was on the stock version I applied the OTA 2.2 update and it seems to be working (in the middle of installation as I type this message.)

I'm not sure what its called but before Froyo rom while reading any type of text on forums I could zoom for bigger text and it would snap to fit the screen, but now it sort of does that but

It starts from the left edge of web page and the text on the right side goes off the screen.

Is this on all Froyo, it does this with Ava V3 & Fresh 3.0 roms I've tried so far.

[EVO 4G Android Development] blix1337:
I followed your guide and ran into a few issues. From my experiences, you can only run the RUU from your software version or higher (Can't use a 1.32 RUU on a Evo with software version 1.47). Therefore, I think everyone should always flash the engineering build so they can use the earliest RUU. Just my 2 cents though...
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonyk__78:
I'm getting error 155 :( running Ava Froyo and trying to go back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bang3r:
Yes, you are correct, but so am I. This is exactly what step 2 in the OP does (which is a link to Toastcfh's thread about the engineering build).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bang3r:
Ok. RE-read the OP. Everything is there. Check your HBOOT version by booting to the bootloader. If you have .79, you need to re-flash the engineering build before the RUU will work (Step 2 in the OP to get HBOOT to .76). You cannot run the RUU on top of AVA froyo or any froyo, or any rooted custom 2.1 for that matter if you don't have the proper HBOOT (Which I believe you cannot have if you are running any custom rom). Flash to the engineering build, then the RUU.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joypunk:
How far "unrooted" does this get you? Can you still re-root using toast's method or SimpleRoot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bang3r:
Yes you can still REroot VIA those methods. As long as you don't do a FROYO OTA or manually flash the UNROOTED Froyo...there is no ROOT method for FROYO yet.

It returns completely to UNROOTED stock, except for the PRI, which there is a fix for on the 1st page.

And incidentally (and I just figured this out last night) Simple Root is Toast's method, just automated...

EDIT: I think that you could even UNROOT and RUU to 1.3x (whatever it is), then use the ROOTING methods that were in place before the official 1.47 OTA rooting methods. But, I just did simpleroot last night on top of 1.47, and it is freaking SIMPLE....1 click for root...1 click to flash recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tattrpuff:
This is what were trying to show you on Androidcentral as well. Glad you are set!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tattrpuff:
As long as you have .76 HBOOT flash back to an earlier rom...one that has a 1.32 base. Then use the 1.32 RUU or 1.47 RUU. You should be set. Make sure you have completed step 2 in OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonyk__78:
Yes. I have .79, thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tattrpuff:
Yup go back to page one do step 2 and you should be good to move to step 3, step 4, you get it...in the end like OP says you need to be .76 for this to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SAlpIche:
does anyone knows how to un-root if I have HBOOT 0.93.0000?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bang3r:
No, what hboot is that? What rom are you running? Could be the same, but I haven't run across that one..

EDIT: Actually, googled, and found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7497059

EDIT: Sounds like you are running 2.2 UNROOTED already. No way to even root that yet, let alone unroot it. Do you really think you are rooted? Do you have SU?

If you have SU, Try this:

"You may not be completely hopeless. When the 1.47 OTA came out I downloaded and flashed a "rooted" version (it apparently wasn't because it broke my root and updated my Hboot to .93 also); however, it didn't get rid of Super User.

If you still have Super User on your phone, connect to adb shell, type "su" to enable super user and reflash the eng build. I would revert all the way back to the original stock and flash to 2.2 from there.

I'm not sure how effed you are, but maybe my stoke of bad/good/bad/good luck may help you out."....found in the thread I linked in this post above
[EVO 4G Android Development] motm95:
Hey all - thanks the OP for the post. This is exactly what I needed and it worked like a champ on my EVO.

One question -- my PRI is still at 1.34. I saw the earlier post that linked to Calkulin's post but I don't know what I'm supposed to do with his zip file that is attached. Do I copy it to sdcard, rename to update.zip, reboot to recovery and run the update?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bang3r:
You know, I'm not 100% sure myself. If you have already run the RUU, I'm not sure if you can still do the PRI trick... Anybody that might know definitively, feel free to chime in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cloud858rk:
This actually gave me the bootloader error, when I had 0.76.2000. Checked again and it had been changed to 0.79.0000... Sure enough while rooted explorer worked fine before, I couldn't create any new folders in /system/, and it even cause my phone to spontaneously reboot.

Edit: Don't try this on Froyo like I did. :rolleyes: Thankfully I still had root, so I flashed to a 1.32.651.6 rooted ROM so that I could do SimpleRoot again to unlock NAND. Then I did the RUU and it worked fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bang3r:
I'm starting to think it has a much to do with the bootloader version as making sure to flash the engineering build. Will update op when I can to stress the importance of that step. Other methods may well work too!
[EVO 4G Android Development] akiradavis:
Same thing happened to me. I am in the process of following what you have done so I can run the RUU.
[EVO 4G Android Development] selders59:
From what I have read in alot of these posts on PRI 1.40 that it has to do with part of the radio control files found in the "stock" OS systems, but if you "root" your phone and flash a custom rom then you end up back on 1.34 because the "rooted" roms don't have the same RC.IMG files in them. I like the next guy would like to keep my phone up to date but guess it will have to be "fake" on this part of it and just install Calkulin's 1.40 hex file. Because I for one like to be able to use different roms and themes that can't be done on the stock rom. Anyway that was just my $0.02 :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] remedy22:
Did anyone else get an error toward the very end of the RUU concerning Error 110? It also said something about the RUU file being corrupted and was unable to proceed.

This has happened to me with two separate downloads from two different sources. I'm downloading the RUU from a third source right now. For the time being however, my phone is bricked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bang3r:
First off do you still have a custom recovery? If so, you're not bricked. Don't know about the ruu though. Where did you download from? What is error 110? I can't remember which one that is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] remedy22:
Yes I do have a custom recovery but I'm not able to access it at this point.

Error 110 is an Open File Error.

I downloaded the RUU from the link in the OP.

update: Third attempt to run the RUU ended in the same exact result. The only screen I am able to access is all black background with an HTC logo in the middle. There are four small triangles with exclamation points inside them in each corner of the screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bang3r:
Hmm...and not to ask a dumb question..but how do you know you still have a custom recovery if you can't access it? Did you try manually through the bootloader to get to recovery? That's weird about the ruu linked in the op though. I'll have too check it out and I haven't heard of the error you're getting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] remedy22:
I am not certain that I still have a custom recovery, but I did have one before I attempted to install this RUU. See my edited post above for additional information.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bang3r:
Did you try rerunning the ruu when you are at the black screen after you get the error but before unplugging the phone?

Haven't seen that particular screen AND have that icon in the corners. This one may be over my head.

But you have tried too boot into recovery manually right? What do you get?
[EVO 4G Android Development] remedy22:
I get nothing, the only way to get rid of the black screen is unplugging the usb cable. Which brings up a white screen with the bootloader information. However there is no menu to navigate, the only selection is "RUU" which is highlighted.

The phone will still accept an RUU if I could get one of them to actually work. I've tried all three that are posted on shipped-roms (multiple times) as well as one that was linked on these forums and hosted by rapidshare.

Yes. If you run the ruu you will lose your custom recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrsexkey:
All my phone does is random reboots ever since i went to 2.2. I was hoping this would get me back to stock so that would either correct the problem or I could return the phone as being defective it continues to reboot. I have the .93 hboot and am running 2.2. I do not have su.

I went through the whole ruu process and it worked. said i was restored. phone rebooted, etc. but still says s-off. I assume i cant return it to the store with s-off.

And btw, damn thing still reboots all the time out of nowhere...

please help...
[EVO 4G Android Development] xywh:
My phone is doing this as well - I've searched for others that this is happening to as well, but haven't seen anyone up until now.

I have tried different ROMs (CM6, Fresh, Baked, Stock Rooted, etc.) and everything results in random reboots. Sometimes, it reboots 3-4 times before I get back into a "stable" home screen.

So, I assumed it to be hardware problem given the nature of the reboots, thus looking at flashing back to stock, non-rooted and taking in to get a new one.

Anyone else have this problem?

[EVO 4G Android Development] 00_MACKIE_00:
Has this actually worked for anybody?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bang3r:
It works for those who rooted the 1.67 OTA. It might be a tad out-dated, since the release of 2.2. This was mainly for those who wanted to unroot when the official 2.2 OTA came out so that they could download the official, non-rooted 2.2 OTA.

I had to do this method in order to send my 1st evo back for replacement, and I made the tutrial for those who were in my same boat.

If that's what you are doing, it should work, but with the release of Unrevoked 3 and new 2.2 rooting methods, I have not tested, and it may be misleading. Have not really even looked into what those new methods entail to be able to know if this would work for that situation. I assume not, but I don't know definitively.

Good luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
It worked for me. I used it a couple of days ago. And now I'm about to use it again because I'm selling my evo and the buyer wants it unrooted.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jonhern:
Took awhile but just got this to work. I did not use the newest Unrevoked on this evo, but i did have s-off. Needed to send the evo back so wanted to go back to stock and nothing else worked, could not even get it to turn back to s-on with the s-on.zip, and if i tried to flash a stock rom i got errors. However, used your tutorial and was able to flash the stock rom. I did have to do toasts method, had to learn adb, lol, and that allowed me to flash the rom. Had to do step 2 and the first part of step 3, did not have to do the final part of flashing the recovery, just the PC36IMG.zip. Also, step 2 of toast method actually turned security back on (S-ON) in the Hboot screen. And not sure if it is necessary, but i also flashed the original shipped rooted rom before i began the process just to make sure i did not get newer is older error. After it finished i just turned wifi on, already activated the new phone, but was still able to get the ota for 2.2 and upgrade. still on 1.34 pri however.

Thanks for your work :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdbiggles:
Thank You!

I just wanted to say thanks for compiling all the necessary information for me to take my phone back to stock for return to Sprint.

This method made it simple. I should point out that I already had .76 so skipped step 2... also I did get the error 170 twice and the RUU closed both times. I tried a third time and it worked perfectly.

Also... STOCK SUCKS!!! haha!! I have been using cyanogenMOD for so long I am not used to this ugly UI!! Quadrant scores dropped from 2500 (with CM and a snap kernel) to 1100 on stock. WOW!

However I will be getting a new EVO tomorrow, free under warranty. I had no problem with getting sprint to order me a new one.

Props to you sir, you pretty much gave everyone a way to unroot no matter where your at on your phone thank you!

And it was rather comical once I went back to the very first RUU to see all of these updates they were trying to push and how fast they came up, it was like Sprint is really pushy with the updates..

[EVO 4G Android Development] Bang3r:
Honestly, not sure. There are so many root methods these days, that this is probably outdated for a lot of users. This was before anyone had rooted 2.2. Any 2.2 root methods probably won't be 100% applicable to this tutorial, and I haven't kept up with all the latest developments.

I just unrooted my buddys evo. But I used htc sync and ran the ruu.

One thing which I did is, I used an ruu that matched the radio,pri,prl. Try that. Basically you have to use an ruu that you had before you rooted. Now all ota updates come with itsown radio. So you can figure out which one you need to run by your radios version.

Can someone who's trying out the Droid Incredible build of Froyo try this test to see if a calendar bug has been fixed? Steps to reproduce:

Create an all day calendar event.

View that event, note the date is still correct.

Click the edit button - on 2.1 the date will have advanced by one.

Exit without making any changes, the event will be saved with the advanced date.

This bug is 100% reproducible on Droid Incredible's and Evo's - I suspect it exists on all HTC Android devices. It does not occur on Motorola phones, so I think it's a bug in the HTC owned software.

I'm hoping they've fixed it in time for the Froyo build.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the whole Android rom scene, coming from Windows Mobile. A couple days ago I rooted my Telus GSM Hero and installed SenseHero, and while I like the rom it seems to be using a lot of battery, even just on standby and with SetCPU underclocking it to 160 max/122 min on the "screen off" profile. I'm wondering if updating the radio could fix this, and if it had any possible drawbacks. Currently the radio is 63.18.55.06eu_6.35.06.18 and from some other threads I've seen recommendations to use the latest radio from here. Is there anything I should watch out for? Also, does anyone have any other ideas on what could improve the battery life? Thanks.
